Advice on a character concept

Post by Guest »

Hi, I'm thinking of submitting a character biography. Could somone advise me on this character concept please?

Right, so I noticed that characters can't be of noble birth according to the character creation rules? Yet in the courtier career guide it says you can start as minor nobility, as long as the family is not too powerful or wealthy.

So really, what I'm aiming for is a daughter of a minor noble family of Roque 'd'Ancourt - young, human or half-elven, interested in musical arts and genteel academic studies. Perhaps her family have fallen on hard times, and now have little pull or power within the politics of the Western Kingdom. They have two other sons, one who they invest much time in (he's the heir), and another they send to court to represent them. However, the family is not considered to be very important or noteworthy in the grand scheme of things.

With this in mind, my character would be very ambitious, and would wish to bring great prestige back to her family. So she would travel to King's Court and study as a bard, hoping that her talent and fame will soon be known throughout the land.

Does this work as a concept, or would I need to tweak it? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

Usually allowances are made for second characters that permit minor nobility and the like, but given a proper background I do not see why you could not create a character based on this concept. Danomel who is the King's Court Coordinator has the final say in this of course, so it would be best if you could PM him and inform him of your plans.

I would go with human, there seems to be a flush of half-elven girls around >.< including meself. I like your concept, though. Mine is sort of similar though Val may be a bit more vapid ^.^
