[quote=@Dead Cruiser]I would not rely so heavily on pre-established concepts, particularly those from other games. I would be wary as well of the language and cultural barriers that may result from having such an exotic character. I won't outright veto a character from the Jade Kingdoms (a concept most new players present most likely do not yet know of), but I'm hesitant. There is a distinct focus on the Iron Kingdoms in this story, mostly because someone from outside of them would not have been particularly affected by the Years of Dusk, and for other, plot-related reasons. [/quote] Fair enough. I could easily translate something from [i]Legend of the five Rings[/i] into our use here. But your desire to keep the characters from the Iron Kingdoms is what I was looking for. I'll stick with the Hyperborean. I'll have to put some thought into this. But since my character will be in his 50s, he would have been born close to the beginning of the Age of Dawn. I would prefer for him to be born in the North, but then either his family moved to the Borea, or he himself moved there. He would possess no magic, and be more of a barbarian than a cultured leader of men. Kind of like that avatar I have on display.
