Agmundr felt a bit dizzy. That cruise had not exactly improved his general condition, but he was fit to walk down the ramp and - finally! - reach solid ground. He had his difficulties to keep up his speed of comprehension with the Lord's introduction and when the Emperor's cousin had finished, he decided that it would require a bit more than that rush to fully explain the situation to him. What he did understand right now was that the supplies were scarce and the scouts were here to remedy. That wasn't surprising... In fact Agmundr was astonished that the Empire had got that fort itself up and running so fast.

When Jile approached, he was the first to put out his massive hand. "I'm Agmundr - afraid I don't know anything about magic. Hope that won't be a problem."

@Athinar I was thinking about letting my character search for a refuge there once he had his close call with the assassin. Once he's stone he's completely defenseless. However his exact behaviour would pretty much depend on the severity of his injuries (feel free to PM me for the planning of this event @shaitarn)

@Athinar The Quaela looks luxurious. I guess that renting a room, and be it only very temporarily, might cost to much for a certain gargoyle ? And is he, being a flying supernatural, susceptible to that permanent 'go around it'-feeling and the shield ?

@TaliPaendrag Thanks for the helpful posting. Given Agmundr's current physical description as being very tall and no less bulky I think it can be assumed that he actually does weigh a lot more than an average person. However what about him simply taking off the stuff before he mounts ? Would solve the problem and it should be doable quite fast since his type of armor is not sophisticated. If there should occur a situation that doesnt allow for this, he can probably just go on with it and take the penalty of overburdening his horse (being slower, drained more quickly or sth.). I'd perfectly agree with adding that as a minor weakness to his CS, as it seems to be a logical consequence. @TheUnknowable

@shaitarn OK, I'm looking forward to this.

A pub would be really fun and boost the possibility to socially interact. I could imagine Vaughtar to go there regularly. Don't wanna let him run entirely on some mysterious and more or less inexhaustible magic energy source - and if he makes an attempt to get himself stuffed or even drunk it'll most likely be a feast XD

A New Land of Fantasy

So I assume that's nothing to really worry about now. However should I do a bit of research on this topic and inform you about the results just in case it comes out that I should tweak the character a bit as long as its easily possible ?

A New Land of Fantasy

Okay, CS was moved to Characters tab as it was.

Something that came to my mind when already talking about mounts is that a horse could groan noticeably with him in the saddle, esp. with his armor on. Might that be a problem ?

Agmundr

Name: Agmundr

Age: 23

Race: Human revenant

Appearance:

Agmundr is a large-sized and very bulked-up man with a long red mane of hair. For being a revenant, he's in pretty good shape: A medic won't require more than one quick and educated look to discover clear signs of death, but there's nothing an average person would instinctively find disgusting about him. There's a glow apparently coming from inside his eyes, but it can only be seen when it's dark.

Common skills: Agmundr died as a poor man, at a young age and a long time ago. He can't read or write since these arts were restricted to the more wealthy people even in his days. He's fairly adept in pickpocketing and stealing (yet no lockpicking, if he had to get through a door he waited for the right moment and then brute-forced it).

Fighting skills: The military had a close look at him and decided that for someone with no precursory experience with weapons, yet a very respectable amount of strength and corresponding body weight, something like a sword would do no good. He recieved training in using a spiked mace - a cheaper and less delicate weapon - in combination with a round shield and simple armor not prone to hinder movement in an unexpected way. Unfortunately, his physique doesn't allow for a horse carrying more than just himself without being considerably overburdened by the weight.

Magical skills: In pure theory there is a lot of magic in him, but comparable to the way an ordinary human being can't ask the own brain to unroll any of those automatic algorithms it uses for thinking, Agmundr is not capable of willingly invoking any of his inherent magic in order to achieve any additional effect. One of the 'passive' effects of his inherent magic is a slow but steady self-regeneration that is a bit faster than the healing capability of a living body and that also prevents the onset of decay. On the other hand his body is just plain dead in the biological sense, so he can't expect conventional healing magic to be much of an alleviation...

Languages: He has a bit of a trouble in adapting to the recent Imperial language, but his familiarity with the old ways might help him just as well when it comes to learn a new language that actually is a derivative of what he knows.

Personality: He was shady in his days. One should definitely not leave one's money unattended if he's nearby and doesn't know you. Stealing definitely did help him, but that was because he didn't have much support from his parents that already died when he was a small child. The question is if he will lose this habit if he's embedded into a more stable social structure for a prolonged time or not. Aside from that he does have a slight lack of self-confidence. What he definitely does appreciate are good friends - he didn't have many of them in his days either.

Bio: His (so to speak) first life ended several hundred years ago at an age of 21. At no point in his former existence he was close to being a distinguished person, so probably the only thing you can find are entries of birth and death in the chronicles - given they have survived that long. There is a number of persons who have doubts concerning his claims about who he is. The grave he had been buried in had been fitted with a very cheap gravestone: There was nothing intelligible left of it when he came back to 'life' and left the site, so there's hardly anything left to clearly identify him.

Equipment: Morning star (one-handed), robust round shield, heavy scale armour covering his body, a spangenhelm. For satisfying the needs not associated with combat he has got a backpack filled with brawn, a few bandages (mechanical fixation does help even him), a set of simple civilian clothing, small knife.

Why did he join ?: A whole new continent is an opportunity only few people can experience in their lives. It would be a waste to miss that. Perhaps there will be something valuable to discover or a nice strip of land to settle down ? Since the military currently is the only organization having made landfall it's quite obvious that there will be trouble, but it's worth it. And he hasn't got much to loose on the old one anyway.

Does that Like mean that Agmundr is approved ? :)

Still wonderning if there's something I've missed on the 'non combat'-equipment list for a prolonged journey. Just asking out of interest: Will the characters travel by foot or will they be provided with horses ?

Having read 'Just play whatever seems fun to you.' and something about characters not having to be too serious, here's my application:
