Knighthood's also an important factor. Unless I missed something, @Themerlinhawk's character was already a knight?

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Vagueness wasn't the problem, it was your character's backstory and nature specifically that needed a lot of justification in order to explain how he'd make his way into an order of knights.
Your character is a cannibal, headhunter, and mercenary trying to join a knight order. He has nothing to prove he is a knight, nothing that would remotely convince anyone he's a knight. Nothing had him become a knight. He's attempting to join an order of knights, and not doing a good job of hiding how he's a headhunter at all.

That would be completely fine, and has a lot of potential to be interesting, so yeah!
That pretty much hits the nail on the head there.

Adachi Ruriko
"Ah? Kuzunao-sensei?"
Ruriko looked up at the sound of the familiar woman's voice, away from her current, intended opponent. The math teacher was accompanied by a boy Ruriko didn't immediately recognize, as well, for whatever reason. Perhaps he needed some sort of extracurricular assistance or something like that. Her comment about the math test was pleasing, but perfectly expected. Ruriko absolutely knew she had to do her best in all categories. After all, she was the child of the Adachi family. What was she if not someone who had to succeed, no matter what? It was simple.
She bowed her head, slightly.
"Thank you, Kuzunao-sensei," she replied, "You're right, we were about to have a mock battle. My last attempt was... interrupted."
The small girl cast a brief glare back at the training room then huffed. As for Kuzunao-sensei herself, out of the teachers Ruriko liked her decently well. She seemed to do her job properly, after all. For the most part Ruriko felt this way about all the teachers at Otsuki. However, any foolish behavior was still foolish, even if it came from a teacher. It didn't matter what the context was, foolishness as still foolishness.

Ishimura Hiromi
"As soon as humanly possible, Ushio-chan," Hiromi replied, simply, with a shrug... and then a smile. Oh, she did want Ushio in her uniform(after all, a girl of her position obviously needed to have a maid on hand at all times. It only made sense, didn't it?), but changing right here was a completely ridiculous proposal. Still, she wanted to see if the smaller girl would think she meant changing right here... Really, it was too amusing not to try and see if the girl would do anything that would embarrass her. Hiromi would stop her, of course.
"So yes, you really have to," she continued.
@Doc Doctor: That still doesn't really explain how he managed to get from the other side of the world to what's basically fantasy Europe.
@Monochromatic Rainbow: I would like to remind everyone that characters do have to have somehow attained knighthood. So far everyone I've accepted has in some way. There's an oath of fealty and everything involved in being part of the Iron Rose Knights, and knight is right in the name. ^^;

... Okay, um... this is a former holy order of knights dedicated to the defense of Thaln and its people.
Your character is a former cannibal and mercenary.
He needs a VERY good reason to be allowed into the knights. Also, he would only have heard of them after arriving on the continent where Thaln is located on... and probably getting relatively close to Thaln as well.
He's not a Knight Errant like a couple of the other characters are, he's not someone who was taken in by someone who could shuttle them towards the Iron Rose Knights. And he's not nobility or a knight of Thaln who wanted to join them.
He needs a really good reason to be part of them, especially given his history.

It's a bit late but we already talked it over in PM's, so accepted.
@Tarquin: Accepted.
