I'll think about it. XD
I don't want to do anything to big since I don't know exactly what Amanda and Zabs have planned. So I'm mainly just doing an intro. Maybe I'll position them near gothel though ^_^

Go ahead and do it. Me and Amanda really don't have very many schemes.

Okay, so sorry I kinda fell off the bandwagon. There will be a new Jackpost and new Biancapost by Wednesday at the absolute latest and hopefully that will help get things rolling again. Meanwhile, have a new character. Name: Owen Allister Fairy tale basis: The huntsman/third brother in The Four Skillful Brothers ( Wikipedia) ( Full Story) I had to tweak it a little because I think Bianca's been through enough in her life, no need to have her kidnapped by a dragon. Also, I don't care if someone at some point wants to pick up one of his brothers as a character. Makes no difference to me. Age: 28 Appearance: Here (except obviously not a samurai XD) Kingdom: Agrandar, currently in Ellaris Weapons/Skills, if any: Primarily a crossbow, dagger, sword Bio: Owen is Dylan and Bianca's godbrother. Born to a poor couple in Aaro, Owen and his three brothers were sent out to learn a trade when they came of age. He was taught the skills of a huntsman in the frosted pines outside the city, training with a master for four years. When he and his brothers returned and showed their skills to their parents, the poor couple was overwhelmed with pride and joy at their success. Soon after they had returned home from their apprenticeships, they travelled to Asgerdon to offer their service to the King. As it happened, the King's prized horse, the fastest in Agrandar, had been stolen from the stables. Seeing this as an opportunity to exhibit their talents, they went after the horse themselves, each contributing to help find and return it. In return for their deed, the King made them each knights and lords over a portion of the kingdom. The brothers' parents were made godparents of Bianca and Dylan and given a heavy sum of gold that they should live in plenty for the remainder of their lives. A year ago, Owen sneaked on a ship to Ellaris, heading for Aldefirth to find information useful to Agrandar's wartime efforts. Hearing that the Queen was seeking men to guard her daughter by night, he thought he had found the perfect way into the castle. He passed through her inspection and supped with the princess in the evening but fell asleep before he could explore. In the morning, because he was unable to tell the Queen where her daughter was going by night, he was arrested and sentenced to death. Before he could be executed, he managed to escape, fleeing the castle and hiding among the poor. So far, he's been unable to find a secure way out of the city as Queen Roslyn has posted guards at every entrance and is effectively trapped in Aldefirth. He's tried on occassion to get close to the castle on occassion, still hoping to gather information on the enemy.

Right, so I'm realizing that I may need to work on Oberon's background a bit for the sake of the story. Keeping it mysterious might not be purdent.
If its alright with everyone, I'm thinking that Oberon would have been the older brother of Dylan and Bianca (Maybe he would be around 24) but was lost over 7 years ago at the age of 16 (soo if my math is right Dylan would have been about 12 and Bianca about 9).
He would be remembered as a big, strong, friendly person. Non-magical, but smart and good with a variety of weapons. Classic good guy. I'm gonna think a bit on his bio to make him more interesting but lets just assume that he went off into the woods to hunt/train/fight/whatever and was never seen again save for the bloodied remnants of his clothes and his terrified stallion who returned home with a large gash wound in his neck. *shrugs*
I'll think on a way to get more specific down the line, but this is important because if I'm going with this story Oberon would likely recognize Bianca (if not by site, by smell). Not sure what I'd have his real name be yet but I'll think on it.
The thing is, the original fairytale has him as a prince sooo I want him to actually be a prince or person of importance I'm just not sure who yet...

Name: Silas Allister Fairy tale basis: 4th brother in The Four Skillful Brothers Age: 22 Appearance: I know it's a well known anime, but I can't get this image out of my head for him, so here ya go: Kingdom: Agrandar Weapons/Skills, if any: Inventor/Tailor. Great with needle and thread and all sorts of other things. Bio: Silas is 6 years younger than his closest brother. He was a sickly child, and it was a surprised that he survived the childhood. The one thing Silas was always blessed with was great imagination and creativity. He was always drawing or sketching the things outside his window (his parents didn't often let him out for fear of him becoming ill). One day, when Silas was 10, an old man was passing through town. He was mostly selling odd looking clothing, but he had some other interesting wears as well. (I'm thinking of like middle ages steam punkish stuff). Some of them did the most spectacular things, and Silas's parents took him to see this man. He automatically felt a kinship with the man, and begged to be taken on as an apprentice. The old man agreed, and together they convinced Silas' parents to let him go. He spent many years with the old man until the man passed and he came home with his new skills and out look on the world. Now, Silas is at the battle front, helping the war effort using his tailoring skills. He mends fixes and tries to make more durable clothing for the soldiers. He's known around camp as the man who thinks a needle and thread can solve any problem. Silas and Audras get a long well. You might even be able to call them friends.
