				Hey everyone, sorry for the delay getting back to you about the game. It'll be starting up in the next day or two (ideally, it'll be this afternoon, but we'll see). This will be the character thread, where you can put up the basic char. synopsis I sent to you (if you asked for it), or a quick run down of how you want to play your character. That way, everyone knows who's good and bad (or pretending to be good). This thread will serve as the OOC thread as well; any non- IC stuff you wish to talk about will go here.

				<strong>Sir Percival </strong><br><br>Synopsis: He is one of King Arthur's legendary Knights of the Round Table. In most stories, his father is a worthy knight named Sir Pellinore. His sister is actually the bearer of the Holy Grail! Though her name is not set in stone, she is usually called Dindrane. Sir Percival is most famous for his involvement in the quest for the Holy Grail.<br><br>He meets the crippled Fisher King and sees the Holy Grail, but he fails to ask the question that would heal the injured king. Upon learning of his mistake he vows to find the Grail castle again and fulfill his quest. As a result he doesn't actually get to complete his quest per say.<br><br>In later accounts, the true Grail hero is Galahad, Lancelot's son. But though his role in the romances had been diminished, Percival remained a major character and was one of only two knights (the other was Sir Bors) who accompanied Galahad to the Grail castle and completed the quest with him.<br><br>We don't have Bors, or fisher king, or pellinore, or Dindrane...Sooo. pretty much I think I'm going to center Percival's adventure on trying to find the grail and maybe others can join/travel with him?..<br><br>Also he's a good guy, romantic, and very trusworthy. ^^<br><br>Edit: We DO havea Galahad. Nice!

				<strong>Sir Kay</strong><br><br>Foster brother to Arthur "Wart" Pendragon; a hot-headed, sometimes cruel and often sarcastic knight, he's devoted to Arthur but not in awe of him. He has an opportunistic streak, but it's kept in check by a stronger sense of basic decency and honesty. Kay considers his two callings in life to be knighthood and deflating blowhards of all stripes.<br><br>Kay is hot-blooded in more ways than one. His body temperature is so great that he melts snow, and companions huddle around him for warmth when bivouacking in winter. His endurance is likewise legendary; it's said he can hold his breath underwater or go without sleep for nine days in a row.

				<strong>Sir Gawain</strong><br><br>The oldest of the Orkney clan (Composed of Gareth, Gaheris, Agravain, Mordred and Gawain), Sir Gawain is one of the most dynamic characters in Arthurian myth. Regardless of the text being read, he is considered to be one of Arthur's strongest fighters, oftentimes seen as second only to Lancelot in skill. He is Arthur's cousin, and fiercely loyal to him above even his other brothers (with the exceptions of Gareth and Gaheris). <br><br>For all of his strength, Gawain is a bit of a womanizer and has a somewhat shorter fuse than most knights. This temper gets him into trouble on occaision, despite his always noble intentions.

				<strong>Sir Yvain, The Knight of the Lion</strong><br><br>Yvain, the knight of the lion is the son of King Uriens of Gore and Queen Morgan Le Fay and therefore, King Arthur's nephew, and cousin to Agravain, Gaheris, Gareth, Mordred, Calogrenant, and Gawain, the last of whom becomes Yvain's closest ally. He is troubled by many failed relationships with women. Yvain is highly protective of his uncle and cousins even at the risk of his own life, so much so that if you even pondered the thought of inflicting harm upon one of them, you'd best look over your shoulder for him. He is not the most skilled of the knights of the roundtable, but he is among the most determined and on ocassion can match Gawain swing for swing, blow for blow. He has an intense thirst for adventure and in one such battle he rescues a lion from a dragon, and the feline becomes fiercely loyal to Yvain.

				Hi everyone!<br>Thank you Sir Wolfgang for your assistance with this char. I did not remember him very well indeed!<br>Sorry for the delay in preparing my description for Sir Lionel. <br>Phisically, I imagine Sir Lionel like this:<br>(http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/bios/images/lionel.gif)<br>He is tall (6'1) and strong. He looks like a man, not one of those good-looking models who are a bit androgine. He prefers negotiating to fighting, but when necessary, he is a skilled swordsman - he will always be the one trying to make peace between Lancelot and Arthur. <br>In spite of this, his loyalty is with his cousin, Lancelot's, and his brother, Bors. This means that Camelot's court is secondary. <br>Psycologically, I see him as a pure representative of the medieval knight, a kind soul ready to defend the weakest and, at the same time, so darn moral. I tend to play him more as a friend although he can also be a passionate lover. <br>Below, I paste some interesting information about Sir Lionel.<br><br>Detailed background:<br>"Sir Lionel was the younger son of King Bors of Gannes (probably Vannes in Brittany) and Queen Evaine. He was named from a birthmark shaped like a lion. After his father's death at the hands of King Claudas, Lionel and his brother, Bors the Younger, lived as captives at the usurper's court under the tutelage of their father's old friend, Sir Pharien. They were eventually rescued by the High-Priestess, Seraide, who turned them into greyhounds and whisked them away to complete their education with their cousin, Sir Lancelot, at the home of the Lady of the Lake.<br>Lionel and Bors accompanied Lancelot to Britain, where they became Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. One of his first tasks was to act, along with Bors, Gawain and Bedivere, as ambassador to the Emperor Lucius during the Roman Wars. Upon his return, Lionel accepted Lancelot's invitation to join him in adventure seeking. However, while Lancelot slept, Lionel tried to help three knights fleeing from a single adversary. All four were defeated by their opponent - a knight named Turquine - and thrown naked into prison. Lionel had to wait some time for release, since his companion was similarly imprisoned by the enchantress, Morgan Le Fay.<br>At other times, Lionel helped in the search for Sir Tristram; and then for Sir Lancelot, when he ran from the court in a fit of madness, having argued with Queen Guinevere over his extra curricula activities. During the Grail Quest, poor Lionel was captured by two evil knights who stripped him naked, bound him and foot and dragged him along the highway while thrashing him with thorns. His brother, Sir Bors, saw encountered them, but was obliged to abandon any rescue in order to save a nearby virgin from being raped. Unsurprisingly, Lionel was not best pleased at his brother's actions and, when next the two met, he threatened to run Bors through with his sword. Bors refused to defend himself, until a hermit and then Sir Colgrevance, were slain trying to break the two up. When he finally reached for his sword, a ball of fire descended from Heaven to stop the fight.<br>Sir Lionel sided with Lancelot when the schism with King Arthur opened up. He went with his cousin into exile and was crowned King of Gaul. He, however, returned to Britain to put down the last remnants of Sir Mordred's rebellion and was slain by the latter's son, Melehan, with fifteen other knights while travelling from Dover to London in search of Sir Lancelot."

				Sir Gareth.&nbsp; His name is Welsh, and can be derived from the word "gwaredd" with means gentle.<br><br>He is the youngest son of Lot and Morgause, and brother to Gawain, Agravaine, and Gaheris, and half brother to Mordred.<br><br>In Sir Thomas Malory's Tale "Le Morte d'Arthur", he depicts how Gareth reaches knighthood.&nbsp; Rather than retype the entire tail, I will revisit important tidbits.&nbsp; When coming to Camelot to become a knight, Gareth entered under the guise as a kitchen boy, and soon is off to help Lynette find her sister, Lyonesse.&nbsp; Throughout the quest, he battles many a knight, and defeats them.&nbsp; Rather than killing them, Gareth has them serve under him.&nbsp; Eventually he finds the one who has kidnapped Lyonesse, and defeats him as well, but spares his life and demands servitude.&nbsp; Because of his actions, Gareth is then granted the knighthood.<br><br>As for how I will depicting him, I will play him as gentle, fiercely loyal, and morally upstanding knight.&nbsp; Though he loves his brother and will die for him, he disapproves of Gawain's womanizing ways.&nbsp; Coming from the same gene pool as one of the best fighters of Camelot, and being the youngest brother, Gareth's swordplay should be in the upper eschelon, and what he lacks in experience he makes up in skill/potential.

				Alright everyone, I promised you all a layout, and that's what I'm going to give! I'm going to try and stay in the myths, but if I miss something, please don't hesitate to correct me. :)<br><br>Camelot is almost the size of a small city, or large village, sprawling out beside a peaceful river, which serves both as scenery and defense from assault. The walls of the castle are over a foot thick, composed of limestone, giving the castle a majestic look from a distance. The front gate is massive, well over 30 feet tall, made of solid oak, with folded steel bolts holding the planks in place. <br><br>Upon entry to the castle, the first thing you will come upon is the massive courtyard. The courtyard surrounds the central keep, a massive limestone building several stories high. <br><br>The area closest to the gates holds the secondary armory, which holds swords, shields, and bows. This is also the area where the blacksmith resides. There are large open patches of dirt here, to allow the knights a place to train.<br><br>To the left of the central keep sits a lake. The product of an underground river which feeds into another river, the lake makes for both a romantic getaway and an excellent emergency exit, via the large metal gate leading to the river that is in the wall. <br><br>To the right of the keep, is Camelot's supply of vegetables and fruits, a massive garden, full of ripe fruits and vegetables all year long, thanks to a spell used by Merlin.&nbsp; The apple orchards are quite beautiful when they are in blossom, and many a knight has wooed many a lady in them.<br><br>Finally, in the courtyard behind the keep, opposite the gates, resides a rose garden. It's pathways wind in and out of rosebushes and hedgerows, even winding into a secluded garden within surrounded by the keep's high walls.&nbsp; There are secluded nooks and paths that lead to nowhere, as well as a rumor circulating amongst the members of the court that there is a path somewhere in the garden that leads to a bed, used for... well, I think you can figure that out. <br><br>Last, but certainly not least, we come to the central structure of Camelot, the castle. It dominates the skyline, a multi-storied series of towers jutting from the earth. It is made with the same limestone as the walls, with blue sandstone tiles covering the top of each spire.<br><br>You enter the keep through large oak doors, similar to the gates, only smaller. Upon entry, you arrive immediately inside the great hall. Seven stories high, it's ceiling is made of ornately carved stone, arching loftily above an ornate marble floor. <br><br>In the center of the room sits a massive stone table, many yards in diameter, with strange runes carved in front of the chairs stationed around it. The table is only used when Camelot is in peril, and each knight is assigned a specific chair. A knight who sits in the wrong chair is killed by the spell placed on it by Merlin. Surrounding the round table are dozens of long square tables, at which the knights and ladies sit during regular time. The knights are assigned seats based upon their rank in the order, Lancelot and Gawain closest to the Royal family, and descending from there. Because a knight's rank is in a constant state of flux, their seats can change from day to day. <br><br>In a far corner of the great hall, hidden in the shadows of a large statue, a passage to the underground realm of Merlin can be found. Large cauldrons bubble away in the torchlight in this windowless abode.<br><br>The rest of the castle is a maze of hidden passageways leading to secret rooms of varying sorts, winding stairwells, and the Cathedral. A room second only to the Great Hall in size, light filters lazily through the massive stained glass windows, casting colorful shadows across the floor. Also attached to the Great hall is the primary armory, wherein are stored the swords, shields, spears, bows, and other weapons weilded by the knights of the round table. This allows for the castle to be sealed up from the inside, with food and drink stores to last months, it is built to withstand a seige.<br><br><br>There you have it; a rough layout of Camelot. I'm going to leave rooms up to the various players, so feel free to post that here as well. Hopefully, I'll have the first post for this game up sometime tomorrow, although I can't promise anything, given the way the past couple of weeks have gone.

				Beautiful. Excellent points of reference for our characters to interact with. Thank you!<br><br>I have a question specific to my character, Lady Galahad.&nbsp; As the story begins, is she already a Knight, or will this start before her 'Knighthood'?&nbsp; She is going to be fairly young, so either way works, just wanted to know if you had any thoughts to this.&nbsp; If already a Knight, I'd like her room to be somewhere located close to the Catherdral, something sparse, simple.&nbsp; If she is not yet a Knight, then a visitors quarters perhaps?&nbsp; Yet still something close to the Chatedral, near the nuns.<br><br>I don't really prefer either, but wanted to see what your thoughts were, Sir Wolfgang.<br><br>Danke,<br>Indi

				Hi everyone,<br>I have never played a game with several players and for this reason I believe I am a bit lost. Should we not have a direction to follow, something to worry about, a plot line? Or the idea is just to add things and move ahead?<br>When I posted, I mentioned twice that Sir Lionel found everything strange. Maybe there is something wrong. No one followed. Maybe I did a silly move. But even so, I would like to know where we are going to.<br>Sorry all if I made a silly question. I lack experience in this regard.<br>Hugs,<br>TheLegionary (Sir Lionel)
