[@Tortoise], Are Anime Faceclaims permitted? I think we have at least one or two OCs with an Anime-adjacent picture.

In a previous RP I ran, I put a soft limit on anime stuff, so that the game wouldn't start to feel too much like an anime RP. I still have that sentiment, but I don't mind one or two characters with anime-adjacent pics.

Also, what would be more appealing to you? A Mage-Knight seeking adventure yet trying to flee past trauma, an Ex-Street Urchin with goals to become a Merchant Prince, an exiled Prince (the royalty kind) who wants to take back his dead father's throne, or a political reformer who wants more power to the cities and merchants in order to upend the feudal system?

I mean, you just listed four really good ideas. They all appeal to me; but if I had to pick one, I like the ex-urchin or the mage-knight the most. 

Your Mage-Knight works well because a lot of people probably do join the Caravan to escape past trauma. And, honestly? I have a soft spot for both knights and for magic-warrior fusions. This one legitimately feels like a character I would want to play.

But the Urchin would bring an interesting new element to this RP, in that they want to become a Merchant Prince. I mentioned in the first post that the Caravan engages in a lot of trading, so having an ambitious merchant character feels like a good fit. Every city we go to, I can imagine them trying to establish connections and scoping out the markets.

Either of them, I'd say, could work really well here.
