Sounds good to me. Shall we decide what attributes our character has then? Like, where does he fall on the Good/Evil Order/Chaos Axis? Can he fight? Is he dumb as a rock?

@OzymandeusI'd say Chaotic Good, which might seem contradictory for a prince, but you can't get stuff done if you don't break a few laws, right? And I'd say, more of the strategist type, with moderate fighting skills (he is royal; trainers and mandatory schooling). Although he has to have his own cohort. Maybe a bunch of guards that were raised beside him?

Not the best fighter, more of a strategist. Relies on others but has that natural charisma that makes him out to be more than just a passive puppet.

We have ourself a rakish prince at our disposal. Huzzah!

Erm, at least with how I interpereted that-

Chaotic good is a scary place to be, friends. A very scary place. Laws only get in the way of what's right, eh? I'd say more neutral with a tendency towards law, so that it's more morally ambiguous as well.

Yah, Neutral good is much better. That way, we can bend the laws, but we're ultimately a not batshit human being.

I also think it would be good if we were a talker instead of a fighter, though we should be able to throw some punches.

If anyone has read Jack Vances Dying Earth series, I'm imagining us as a less roguish Cugel the Clever, clever, (hurrdurr) quick thinking, willing to bend the rules, sorta able to fight, but not really. Unlike Cugel, we're not going to be a bastard who only does what is best for us, damning whoever gets in our way. At least, not at first.

Shoot, this whole pronoun thing is really confusing me. I'm sticking with the we/us/our, what think you guys?

@Sypherkhode822Yeah, it sounds including.

But- but chaotic good is fun! It'd be like if Robin Hood ever got control of the monarch- never mind, it'd be terrible.

I agree with brain over brawn also if we use dnd alignment I'd say neutral good gives people room to work with. So... Name?

Oooh, Tough choice. Something suitably masculine,and fitting a sort of vague fantasy Europe. Possibly something that can be abbreviated easily or shortened for a nickname.

With the added benefit of if we go crazy, we can adopt the name 'Kaligula'.

I like it

Kallain I like it... reminds me of Kaladin from the Stormlight Chronicles. Any Brandon Sanderson fans here?

Sweet. Phoenix hasn't weighed in yet, though I think she'd approve.

Last name? We want someone suitably royal sounding.

Caesar
Windral (It sounds nice: Kal Windral)
Pendragon
Augraliton (Sorta French sounding, which suggests superiority)
Rex
Vraus (Suitably evil sounding, if we're so inclined)
Plantagenet
Randakritz (German-y, for that extra Teutonic kick)
Ptolemy
Preogh (Actually just gopher spelled backwards and then with a few letters moved around.)

I would actually be perfectly okay if we used one of the scratched out ones.

Sorry still here just a little busy at the moment. I like Windral myself.
@Joegreenbeen long time no see.
@PhoenixWhite Still here? Just haven't heard from you in a while. (Though I'm one to talk)

Also if we're finished with name I think we're ready to start. Unless anyone can think of anything else...

Kal(igula) Windral, son and heir apparent of his royal highness Sallas and lady Vrilian Windral?

Purfect.
Once we get going we should use the character sheet as a way to keep our idea of the character cohesive.
