Hello! 'Tis I again! I shall be presenting a rough 'sketch' of my character's concept.

My idea is a man in his 40s, forged by many battles and proficient with melee weapons primarily and ranged ones secondarily. His personality wouldn't be something too out of the ordinary. He'd be a father figure to some and a battle buddy to others.

With that said, I've looked through the accepted characters for examples of characters and to get an idea of what I can do myself. That's when I noticed a character who is a knight in training, namely Anne Marie. This is where I tag @Ner0 . And I do this because I want to propose a dynamic. Since my guy is a full-fledged knight he could be somewhat of a mentor to Anne Marie, but I do not want to force it upon her. Therefore, I'm asking for permission first ^^.

This is also, by extension, relevant to other users whose characters are more combat oriented and young as well. His personality is somewhere along the lines of "I'm getting old, but I won't let my knowledge die with me".

Thoughts? :D

As for me personally, I have always been more of a fan of relationships formed IC, then those written into Cs's previous to the rp itself, mind you, I am not entirely against the idea. I would recommend finishing a more fleshed out character concept and then reapproaching me with this. :)

Oh, no of course not. This would be the first time they met. The relationship would form exclusively IC. I just noticed that an interesting dynamic could be explored.

And certainly! I should find more time today to actually post an App as well.

If that is so, then I am open to anything that occurs naturally within the bounds of IC.

GENERAL

Name: Reynauld Courtright
Pronunciation: Rae-Nuhld Kurt-rite
Nickname: Rey, Good ol' Reynauld,
Titles: Sir, Knight
Species: Human
Race: Human
Date of Birth: Icemelt
Age: 43
Place of Birth: Desmouthe

"Although the raw strength of my youth may be spent, my eyes hold the secrets to a hundred campaigns. Battle is my purpose."



DETAILS

1 Paragraph Character Concept: Hailing from a family of honest people, Reynauld embarked on the long and arduous task of becoming a Knight. His teens were spent on training, and education. As a result, Reynauld is a man well versed in the arts of war. There aren't many weapons that the knight doesn't recognize; blunt or sharp, shooting bolts or lead. The fires of his youth have given way to wisdom and caution, but the Reynauld's resolve remains the same, if not stronger. With rising menace in the world, the knight believes this is another call to arms. He must protect his family and the future of mankind.

Character Arc(s): 1. To serve his Lord.
2. To uphold justice.
TBA

Character Plot(s): Reynauld is very much aware that this might be his final adventure. He has made peace with it. His final goal would be to aid the cast in purging evil.

MBTI: ENTJ

D&D Alignment: Lawful Good

Attuned Element(s): Earth

Fleuntia: Solis

Weapons and Proficiency: As was previously mentioned, Reynauld is skilled with many weapon types. He is especially deadly with swords and polearms.


He lunged forward, alligning his blade in such a way that the sword's point cut through the thick air like an arrow. Quickly, the knight pushed the weapon in front of him. Vibrant and reflective, the steel tasted blood once more and the enemy was fell. With great effort, the bleeding man grabbed Reynauld's sword with both hands, but the knight recoiled and extracted the blade from his opponent's chest.

The prodigious weapon was bathed in thick, crimson liquid. Reynauld swiped at the ground and painted the mud with blood before turning towards the clashing of steel behind him. He paid little mind to the man he left in a pool of his own blood. Such is the battlefield, a cacophony of yelps and cries, drowned out by the sounds of metal and explosions.

Hidden behind the cold glare of steel was a look of determination. Reynauld was approaching with hastened pace, his guard up and spirits high. He struck with the speed of lightning and the might of thunder, but his blade was met with another and was forced to the side. He quickly pushed the hilt of his blade forward and followed with a step of his own. Reynauld then quickly pulled down and caught the enemy's blade with his sword's guard. He capitalized on the opponent's surprise with a succsession of well placed hits handed out ever so generously by his forearm. Taken back by the zealous bashes, the enemy stepped away from Reynauld. A mistake, by all means, as his weapon forfeited from his weakened grip.

The knight drew blood yet again. A well placed cut between the jaw and neck spelled the thug's doom.

Brutal is an outlaw's end.

I think that's it! I hope the writing sample isn't too short. I can expand it if need be.
 
Reynauld Courtright


A mighty sword arm anchored by holy purpose, a zealous warrior.
"I swear my life to the meek and defenseless, so that they have a chance to be strong"



GENERAL

Name: Reynauld Courtright
Pronunciation: Rae-Nuhld Kurt-rite
Nickname: Rey, Good ol' Reynauld
Titles: Knight, Sir.
Species: Human
Race: Human
Date of Birth: Icemelt, Monthe 1
Zodiac: Golem
Age: 46
Place of Birth: Desmouthe

Storyline/Plot: Roses and Stars

"Although the raw strength of my youth may be spent, my eyes hold the secrets to a hundred campaigns."



APPEARANCE

Eye Color: Dark Brown
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Hair Style/Length: Shaggy. It ends in a beard.
Height: 6' 5"
Weight: 193 lbs.
Body Type: Lean and covered in a healthy layer of fat, as one would expect of a man past his prime.

Body Modifications/Accessories: An array of scars, painted liberally on his body. Those on his back belong exclusively to his own handiwork, with the exception of a few.

Written Appearance: Looking at Reynauld, one could see many similarities drawn between him and a wolfhound. From the thick "fur" on his face and welcoming appearance to the savagery with which he ends his "hunts". Solitary strands of hair adorn his mane and beard, spread out evenly across.

Other parts of his body are also covered in "fur". While not much rests on his torso, in the dark, one could confuse Reynauld with a Lecyrian elf, provided he was scantily clad.
His face presents a bushy beard and a scar over his nose along with deep ridges, sculpted by time.

PERSONALITY

Personality Traits:
Man of Faith: Reynauld believes that his faith is what fuels both his mind and his body. He is convinced that he was allowed to succeed in his life because of it and although not often, he won't hesitate to share it with others.

Fatherly: As the proud father of two daughters and a son, it is no surprise that Reynauld will often seem condescending or excitedly willing to give advice and help people. Often, his "victims" include people younger than himself. He means no harm.

Protective: As the Code of Chivalry dictates, Reynauld is to always protect the weak and defenseless. Sometimes, though, he might become a little overzealous and extend his promise to those capable and strong as well.

Proactive: Reynauld will likely be one of the first to take initiative when faced with obstacles.

Strengths:

Experienced: One could say Reynauld has a master's studies degree in war and years of experience on the battlefield. His resume is rather lengthy.

Disciplined: In a lot of senses, Reynauld is very disciplined and faithfully reproduces what the Code of Chivalry taught him.

Stalwart: Loyal, reliable, unrelenting. Reynauld has the backs of those whom he trusts and those who trust him.

Weaknesses:
Uncreative: Reynauld is not one for creative problem-solving. His choices in certain situations are quite limited.

Past his prime: Reynauld has passed the first half of his presumed life. Average humans live upwards of 60 years, and he is getting close to 50. Sometimes his back might hurt, other times he may forget things.

Traditional: His mindset hails from the past, leaving little adaptability to the more modern ways of conduct.

Quirks:
-Flagellant: Reynauld knows his Discipline well enough. Shall he deem himself not focused enough, he will remind himself through mortifying of the flesh.

-When thinking, Reynauld will often rub his beard sagely

HISTORY

Rays of light seeped through the fabrics covering the windows. At the break of dawn, Reynauld's first screams were heard. They soon overtook the ones belonging to his mother. He came into the world with force. He was larger and heavier than an average newborn. His mother was the first to notice.

Reynauld was quite an enthusiastic boy in his early years, trying to replicate his knightly behavior in hopes of retaining some of his might. When the first whiskers invaded his face he became a squire to his father's best friend. The coming years would prove to be difficult as the knight he was assigned to did not hold back just because he knew Reynauld. He would learn what it meant to be a knight. The process was long and arduous and, most importantly, successful. He had gone through rigorous training and he had seen Light. By the time he was finished, Reynauld was no longer a boy, but a righteous dispenser of divine wrath. The coming years would dull his violent impulses and exact from him a sager attitude. Furthermore, the pursuit of lifelong companionship forces a beast to learn new tricks, ones of courtship and flirtation. After marital arrangements, Reynauld gave a promise to his spouse; that he would make an effort to be tamer as time went on.

Not too long after, his recklessness subsided as he had gained more than he would allow himself to lose. His strategies were handled more with care than with force alone. The fire of battle still burns within Reynauld, even more so now that he has a family to keep safe.

Another WIP I'm afraid. I'll try finishing this before I go to sleep or at the very least tomorrow.

Alright. Sorry for temporarily disappearing. Things got weird. The last thing I need to do is History. Should be done before the end of the week. With some luck, it'll probably be done tonight.

@rissa
I had a serious writer's block these past few days, but I've managed to stitch his history together. Albeit, it's a bit summarized. What do you think?
 
I suppose I should write more?
 
Oops! My bad @Dismas

I read this over the other day, I just haven't had the time to sit down and shoot you an acceptance message. Your history for Reynauld is a tad short - but it's acceptable. I'd like you to message me with Rey's earth tokens and manipulations.

Go ahead and create a Character Roster thread here in the Directory and post your CS within! This thread will be archived but still viewable from within the vault.
