I'm bored.

I am not sure anyone can help with your boredom. But if you want a fight maybe detail out what exactly you are looking for. Also there are several threads where others are looking for opponents. Why not take up one of those? In any case best of luck.

Storm of Blood

No, we don't need you. I was merely making conjectures. There are a few new people who feel more comfortable trying out the arena in this manner, yet only one of them has posted a character as of yet. We will see if this works or not.

Exanima- New Players Are Welcome!

@GreivousKhan Perhaps you should alert those who have shown interest, see if they are still interested.

Persona biography-

Lars is the son of Grim, hence Grims’son or Grimsson. Born in the northern reaches of human lands he grew up in a strict household. His father is a minor lord and raised his sons, all seven of them, to be warriors. Lars is the youngest of the boys and has been overshadowed by his brothers and father in terms of their exploits and heroics.

The early training of Lars included the rules of the court, chivalry, music, writing, and weapons. Lars also became devoutly religious having witnessed what he believed to be an angel who had saved him from death at the edge of a lake. Lars has become extremely spiritual over the years, praying early in the morning and after every battle, believing his purpose is a bulwark against evil in all its myriad of forms.

After several years training, at the age of 10, Lars become a squire to his older brother Hafjarl, where his training focused more on combat. Lars expanded his training in weapons and in particular, he learned the tactics of fighting on horseback. This was one of the most important aspects of becoming a knight and one of the hardest skills to master. As a mounted knight, he witnessed the awe and respect that people paid his brothers throughout the land. At 13 Lars worked hard on the list where he mastered the lance and controlling his horse in melee, mastering these skills, becoming a fierce combatant on horseback.

Having gained his knighthood as a member of the minor nobility, Lars decided that he had to leave the small lands and explore the wider world. In this, he hopes to gain the honor and fame that has eluded him and made him the outcast among his family.

Lars has been traveling the last seven years exploring and learning the ways of the world, yet that one fleeting piece of honor and glory continue to elude his grasp. He has served in many armies in many lands. His name is recognized among many mercenary companies as a skilled warrior and he takes his knightly oath of largess and compassion for the weak as well as his unyielding faith in his Gods so seriously that he has made a name for himself, sadly though he can’t see this.

Storm of Blood

Lol Khan I have three horses doesn't mean I am going to use them. But I am a knight I do use a lance/spear from a horse. It is what knights do. Anyway you ninny I wasn't planning on using it based on the proposed terrain.

@Fallenreaper you might as well get in this. Constantly making characters doesn't get you any experience.

Storm of Blood

It is in his history that he is a knight. I was seeing if you were reading the CS' or just glancing through them.

Melonhead vs. DjAtomika NoW Rnd 1

@Melonhead and @DjAtomika Since Melon gave notice that he was wonky on his inter-webs connection, I will allow this to extend to Saturday for final posts and grade it out Sunday. Monday/Tuesday I shall be setting the new battlefields and fights.

Storm of Blood

You are basing that prediction on two people? If IN is in this I don't see him playing a Knight, perhaps an archer. I see others like DJ if he joins, being something akin to a bowman or assassin. Vorkdak may or may not be a Knight type and Melon should he join may surprise us. As for the new people who take up arms, it may be that they want to stay away from melee as much as possible so they may opt for an elf archer/ranger like the oft-copied Drizzt Do'Urden. I would wait and see what the others bring. I myself like melee and can write a sword fight quite well so I tend to go in that direction.

Storm of Blood

Maybe this time it will go better than last time when someone tried to kill my horse by throwing a dagger at it's head.
