I like him. I like him a lot.

After the disastrous attempt to "revolutionise" the village of Helmscheer, Frederich managed to escape with his life southwards into Bretonnia. After some desperate scrounging and some rather choice cookery jobs, he soon found himself sufficient funds to make a new start. Realising that his job was far more difficult in the presence of firm control, Frederich decided that the colonies of Lustria made for a veritable goldmine. Or in his words, "A cake-shop with a menagery of cakes and scones and such." Thus he finds himself on board The Celeste, making for the burgeoning colony of Bregonne.

And there is the story so that we know why he is there. Anything you'd like changed there Jubal?

Race: Saurus
Name: Cuautemoc (caw-ewe-tem-oc)
Gender: N/A (last time I checked saurus don't have genders)
Height: 8 feet
Weight: 150-200 kilos (This is a guess, since I am not sure how heavy saurus really are)
Spawning pool: Pool of the Leaders in the city of Tlaxtlan

Cuautemoc was originally spawned from the pool which by tradition spawned the best of the Tlaxtlan leader/warriors. However, an unfamiliar quirk in his creation saw that ability stripped away from him and as a result of the same quirk he bore a mark of the old ones, or so it seemed, in the form of a rancid coloured scar down the right side of his face. After consultation of the plaques and records, the skink priests found it marked him as touched by chaos and therefore not to be trusted.

For a time the revelation threw Tlaxtlan into pandemonium, for the priests were unsure how to react. The taint clearly evident in this saurus raised the question of the taint of the entire spawning, and some believed that only the extermination of them all would save them from chaos. However, such a purge would leave the temple city undermanned in the event of war. In the midst of this madness, the Slann Chimalpahin of the fourth generation emerged from the temple and silenced the city with a flicker of thought. From there he issued a proclamation that the one who bore the mark was to be exiled, along with twelve from the same spawning pool. Cuautemoc, and the rest who were exiled did nothing to act against this, leaving the city as soon as they ahd been selected.

While his mind had been robbed of the great leadership of the Oldbloods, he still was possessed with an intelligence that was above the common saurus warrior, and he knew that while he could not serve his temple city or his gods, the younger races may wish for his services. With this thought in mind he and his group set out towards the Lustrian coast, intent on selling their services as mecenary groups to the young races. Naturally, he still despises chaos but will work alongside them, his ideals of chaos and order jaded somewhat.

This dream was not to be, for the jungle is a dangerous place, even for a mighty saurus, and by the time he reached the coast of Lustria, he was the lone survivor. As he stared out over the waters, noticing only a barrier, his expressionless face turned to watch a ship approach the shores. Written clearly on the side was The Celeste.

He began to follow the ship along the shore.

Technical information:
He barely ever speaks, and when he does, it is often in short, barked commands. He carries no possessions apart from the gold armour worn by every saurus, the shield and a mace carved for him by those in the temple city. He will work for any race apart from those who side with chaos, who he has a natural hatred against. He does have greater intelligence than normal saurus, so is still somethng of an acolade when it comes to tactics.

That's great Therix. I have but one small request that may make things difficult for you. At least at first. You won't be able to speak any language other than the appropriately named Saurus. That being said, what you can actually say in that tongue is impressive. (For a Saurus anyway. You won't exactly be philosophical but you'll be reasonably intelligent.) Anyway, I have a possible plot-point for you that I will discuss in PM but for now, that's great. Thank you.

Although I remember that Saurus could deliver simple commands in standard english like 'kill' or 'retrieve'

I'm sure Saurus CAN speak Imperial in theory, but for most Saurus they wouldn't have wanted or needed to learn it. I think what Phoenix is trying to say is that your character probably wouldn't have needed to learn it yet, so you'll have to go about doing the learning over the course of gameplay.

Me & Phoenix are in a discussion about what is going to happen, so it's all being sorted.

As far as I could remember Saurus actually lack the physical necessities for speaking languages such as Reikspiel or Breton but I may be misremembering. As far as I knew, Saurus could say such eloquent phrases as "kill," "retrieve," and "tasty" in their own tongue. At the very least, you are correct Jubal in that, regardless of their physical or even mental ability to speak it, Cuautemoc would have had no opportunity or inclination to learn it.

On the other hand, as I have discussed with Therix, communication may be difficult at first but there is a good chance there will be some good understanding going on here. Hopefully. That being said, botched dice rolls can still screw things around but we'll see how that goes.

Thanks again guys. I'd appreciate it if the others would do something similar to what Jubal, Therix and Alexander have already done.

So, any ideas when we will be starting this?

Name: Tonto Mortal
Race: Bretonnian human
Calling: Bard
Age: 17
Height: 4’8’’
Weight: Wouldn’t you like to know.

Father’s name: Baron Firenza Mortal

History: Born into the wealthy Mortal family Tonto was expected to become knight, serving the king and Bretonnia’s interests. This however was not the path Tonto himself decided was right.

Tonto was educated in the classical arts at his mother’s request and found a love of music and song. His skills with a blade were lacklustre and his horsemanship was unremarkable. After many years of fighting between what was expected of him and what he loved Tonto informed his father of his intentions to leave Castle Mortal and become a famous bard.

His father, a respected lord who was awarded his land after a successful crusade into Araby, disapproved of this and isolated him from his books and instruments in the barracks. In the dead of night Tonto escaped and took what he could carry from his room. He also stole his book of poetic works which he values above all else.

Armed with a rapier, his lute, and a little stolen gold Tonto set out to make his fortune. He made his way to the coast, playing and singing in pubs to keep him feed. Upon arriving in the port of Bordeleaux Tonto decided his first adventure as a famous bard would be to go on a grand adventure to a far off land and return to tell the fine people of Bretonnia of what they could not see. He found the first ship heading to a far off place and offered his services as entertainment, which were gladly received.



There we go, Tonto Mortal is ready for action.

how do you know my name...

Name: Björn Jonstrom
Race: Norse Human
Calling: Einherjar (lone warrior)
Age: 24
Height: 6'4".
Father’s name: Chief Harald Jonstrom

History: Being the second eldest Björn was always the outcast, destined for little if anything, in his isolation Björn learnt the ways of the war from a scarred veteran known simply as 'Warrior'. Before Warrior left the tribe to seek glory further north he told Björn of the wealth and adventure to be had forging his own destiny and giving a fat finger to the gods. Heeding these words Björn left his fathers tribe at 15 and spent the next 9 years becoming a feared swordsman and raider from Norsca to Araby. His latest journey has taken him to mysterious shores of Lustria, a land of ancient ruins and strange cold blooded creatures. With his trusted blade, Kettlingr, Björn is ready for any challenge the jungle can throw at him!

Meh creative writing was never my strong point

CtA and Facebook my friend. :D

Thanks mate I'll put him down on the list. Although not an Einherjar because in my um, we'll go with version :P , of the Warhammer World they're what the Norse call Chaos Warriors. You'll be the equivalent of a Marauder.

So now we're just waiting for Declan J.
