+1 medieval knight

[hotspurred]

Hello, Hadriel! I'm Von, I'm new here, and I bring with me Henry "Hotspur" Percy from the game Bladestorm Nightmare.

His canon begins as a loosely historical game set during the Hundred Years' War and rapidly descends into pure apocalyptic fantasy where Joan of Arc is possessed by an evil dragon and leads a huge army of monsters to wipe out humanity, forcing England and France to work together for survival. It's ridiculous, but fun.

A knight of England, Henry is highly-strung, aggressively critical, occasionally prone to impetuousness and often disdainful, but at heart he's a decent guy. And hey, he's an exceptional warrior trained in a wide array of medieval arms, so if you can deal with his bark then you have plenty of muscle at your disposal. His particular expertise is sword & shield, which comes with a unique shielding ability.

Feel free to add me on plurk at himewakako. I look forward to playing with you all!

Welcome! I'm Kels I play Noah (ghost boy) and Rainier here, who is also a medieval knight of the sword+shield variety. Clearly they should become sparring buddies or something. I'm oncemorewithfeeling on plurk and just sent a friends request.

That would be awesome! Henry's the kind of person who needs the outlet of proper, periodic skilled contest.

It's great to see Rainier being played, btw. I've not got round to Trespasser yet, but I have played Inquisition, and I enjoyed his arc (I made him a real grey warden, of course, so that he could finally have redemption).

Sword & shield club are obviously the best ;)

Nice! Rainier is trying not to get too rusty in his skills as well. This mostly involves slowly gathering students for melee weapon training, he'll be thankful to have someone more on his level to test his skills against.

Rainier is post-Inquisition, pre-Trespasser! So he literally had left Skyhold like a week before arriving, he hasn't quite sworn into the Wardens but was on his way to do that (and is a little pissy he was interrupted before that). IIRC, our Cullen is the only post-Trespasser Inquisition character we have, so you won't have to worry about spoilers from most of us.

Though, you know, play Trespasser because it is gr8.

I plan to! Just settling back in to having free time again after months of crazy amounts of overtime... my 'to play' list is long, which is both a blessing and a curse, ahaha.

Hello! Sunny is also a post-apocalyptic variation of a knight, but he has opted to go double the swords instead.

[hotspurred]

I'm canonblind, but a glance at Sunny's app makes it sound great -- admittedly, I have a weakness for wuxia and martial arts films. He and Henry should definitely meet/cross blades!

(whoops wrong journal)

If you like wuxia, you should definitely check it out! Most of the team behind it is from Hong Kong but with the production level of cable backing them up, so it's pretty slick.

I'm in the UK, so it looks like I'll be buying it from amazon next payday! :)
