Long Live Equestria: An Adventurous My Little Pony Roleplay

I'll get a post up soon.

After The Fall Of Camelot; The Broken Citadel

Fortune De Vigny

Where other knights were pushing themselves in training or perform some other important (or sometimes unimportant) duties, Sir De Vigny had retreated into a relatively dark and quiet room that he had claimed for his own in order to lay down for a restless nap. Some might have judged him poorly for doing so but if the last few months of nightly assaults had taught him anything, it was the value of rest. Where other knights and lords only had to worry about the physical strain of battle, Fortune's additional duties and oaths as a healer and a doctor meant that he to wage a different breed of war long after the abominations in the dark had been pushed back for another day.

He had learned the hard way long ago that if you pushed yourself for to long without rest, all that he would end up doing was be a risk to those in need of medical care; In his darker moments he couldn't help but ponder how many lives had been lost needlessly because he had made the wrong call when it came to treatments, mistook a patient who was treatable to be too far gone to be worth spending their increasingly limited supplies on to try and save a dead man. Such self judgements often made his rest... uncomfortable, but required all the same. Besides, he could trust the injured to the care of Lady Briar for an hour or so.

As it increasingly became clear that he wouldn't be getting much more in the way of rest at this time, Fortune sighed as he forced himself to get back on his sore, aching feet and get dressed. Favoring the cloth of a doctor rather then the plate of a knight, he still ensured that his sword was sheathed at his side as he walked down towards the training grounds to see what kind of injuries had been sustained so far and to try and set some steps in motion to get some of his nightmares under control.

Blinking and shielding his eyes with his hand as he stepped out into sunlight, he waited for a moment for his vision to adjust before he paid attention to the... situation that was developing between some knights that he hadn't seen before and the red wearing trouble maker that he had been forced to treat the sparing partner of on more then one occasion. As Gideon stepped in to stop the challenge before it had began properly, Fortune nervously rubbed the ring on his right hand with his thumb in order to steel himself for what he was going to do next.

At Gideon's statement to 'go and do something', Fortune seized his chance to step forward and loudly call out in order to get the attention of those gathered "If anyone needs something to do, I've got a task that needs to be done. We're running low on healing herbs, medical regents and even basic linens and cloths for bandages and we need to resupply. Since I know that most of you couldn't tell nightshade from an apple tree, I want to get two parties organized; One being lead by myself and a few others who can recognize what items we need to seeking out herbs and regents while a second group goes out to salvage cloth and linen from abandoned holdings and houses."

Taking a deep breath, Fortune knew in his heart that he was going to have to sell the latter group a bit. "Before you argue, I know. I am aware that going through abandoned homes and holdings for cloth and linen is not a task filled with glory or honor but it needs to be done. If the owners have fled for their lives and safety then when this war is over and peace restored to these lands I know for a fact that many of you will help them resettle however you can. If the owners are dead... then they no longer need such mortal items and they can be used to help keep the living from joining them without guilt."

So we're up to the Special Knights?

@Zahrale

Oh I know. I'm just thinking of making a minion mission and roping some other knights to help with that.

After The Fall Of Camelot; The Broken Citadel

...Out of curiosity, can Knights create missions/quests of their own? Not of a mythical nature of anything, just a goal that needs to be done.

So... as far as the post order is concerned, I'll have to wait till we get to the knights/nobles before I can get a post in?

@Zahrale

That's fine. How many Camelot knights are there?

After The Fall Of Camelot; The Broken Citadel

Fortune De Vigny

Name: Fortune De Vigny
Title: Sir
Noble virtue: When he was on the crisp of become a man, a plague swept through his families house hold and lands, cutting down many in its path. His father and mother died early in the outbreak and his elder brother fell ill shortly afterwards; Fortune stayed by his brother's side, tending to him as best he could even as others fled and he caught the illness himself. While he brother did not survive, Fortune did; Illness and plague became his enemy and he would split his childhood into training to be a knight and learning from what doctors and healers he could find in order to combat his deeply hated foe in whatever form he could.

Vow: "The Bringer of Pestilence stalks these lands, causing those living there to wither and die. Therefore, I must follow it's and defeat it where I can."- Fortune has received some degree of medical training from healers and doctors that he has encountered, but he has sworn an oath that in the event of a plague, he would enter the stricken area to tend to the sick.

Combat Style/Knight Archetype: Fortune is a knight that prefers to fight with sword and shield, marching into battle with his peers on foot. While he can ride a horse, he finds the creatures a bit too easy to bring down with arrow fire or likely to panic in combat.

Age: 21

Height: 182 cm (about 6 foot)

Appearances/Description:


Fortune De Vigny outside of his armor isn't exactly the picture of a heroic knight that the stories and tales talk about; He survived the illness that swept through the De Vigny estate that laid low both of his parents, his brother and almost all of their servants (with the exception of those disloyal cowards who ran away) but he appears more akin to a decently fed peasant then that of a noble born due to how the illness pocked the skin of his face and weakened his body. He has managed to recover a lot of his former strength through.

His eyes are a light blue while his hair is a messy brown/blonde color. His skin in a tanned white that still shows the signs of the damage the illness did to him years ago.

It isn't strange for Fortune to dress in the attire of a healer or, if the situation calls for it, the attire of a plague doctor if he is not actively fighting on the front. The De Vigny crest he wears is a shield colored blue and white with a black cross dividing it into four sections. At the center of the cross is a unicorn, raising up on its back legs as if trying to kick something in the face with its front hooves.

Equipment:
A suit of 'lesser' plate armor.
A sword and shield with the De Vigny crest.
A horse named Twilight.
A set of healers/doctors robes.
A travel bag filled with his medical tools.
A travel bag filled with dried medical herbs and sustainable medical components.
A set of wax treated plague doctors robes and a plague doctors mask.

Upbringing/Backstory:
The De Vigny family was a minor noble house in the grand scheme of things; A lesser noble family in the eyes of the major players but a noble family none the less. When King Arthur established the kingdom of Camelot Fortune's father was quick to swear loyalty to the king who was uniting their land and served happily for many years as a knight.

Fortune De Vigny was the younger of the two sons of the De Vigny household, which removed some of the expectations of him becoming the ruler of their holdings and thus allowed him to be fully dedicated to a life of knighthood so that he could serve his brother and king and possibly earn himself lands to call his own. His trainers were not cruel people, but they were strict and could prove rather harsh when it came to correcting mistakes. Fortune had very little free time for himself, often spending a great deal of time from sun up to sun down split between training, studies and the duties he was entrusted with until well after sun down and he could finally get some sleep.

In Fortune's 12th year, a pox swept through the De Vigny lands and household, claiming many in its brutal wake. The Lord and Lady of the house died early in the outbreak, with Fortune's elder brother (the new Sir De Vigny) being sickened soon afterwards. While the staff of the household fled, Fortune stayed by his brother's side to treat him as best he could by keeping him fed, watered and generally looking after him as much as someone without knowing any real method of treating an illness; He tried to keep him alive so that he could fight it off naturally.

Even as he treated his brother, Fortune fell ill himself. Despite the ravages of the pox taking its toil on him, he forced himself to keep going in order to look after himself and his brother because there wasn't anyone else he could ask to do so. Despite his efforts, the pox claimed his brother much like it claimed their parents. Alone and sick, Fortune finally had the chance to rest as he looked after himself the best he could, but he fully expected to die with the rest of his family.

He doesn't know if the Christian God or one of the Old Gods took a moment of pity on him, but Fortune was surprised when the effects of the pox started to subside; It would take him a long time to recover properly and his skin would forever be marked by it, but he had survived where many others didn't. The outbreak faded with time, people returned to their homes and their jobs... and Fortune De Vigny became the sole surviving member of his family.

The next few years were dedicated to study and recovery since he didn't have the strength to continue training in combat, with Fortune having to learn how to manage the family estate first hand with the aid of a steward. He also showed an almost zealous interest in learning about medicine and healing, learning what he could from any source that presented itself. As the years passed and he gained the physical ability to start training for combat again, he threw himself into it with gusto!

While he became a knight somewhat later then normal due to his period of illness and recovery, Fortune happily made his vows and claimed the title of Sir De Vigny for his own. What brought him to the attention of the Round Table was not his feats in battle through; It was his desire to go out and treat the sick that earned him fame.

Faith: Doesn't know enough of either to claim one way or the other, but has a healthy respect for the Fae.
Loyalty:
Magic: Dragons Blood(Ring Of Dragons Blood); No illness, poison, infection or curse can take hold in the wearer of the dragons blood ring.
