| CHARACTER TEMPLATE - The Sot |
| Background: You were an up-and-coming knight, a member of the duke's own household, known to be zealous in your duties, and always trustworthy. The next time that a slot opened for a Baron, it was widely whispered that you would be the Duke's man. Nothing was going to stand in your way. Well. . .nothing except Melinda. A wandering satyr, Melinda was beauty personified, or at least so you thought. She stole your heart, and you spent all your time with her. After only a month, you were confiding in her, and the court sighed to see the two of you.The the unthinkable happened. Melinda lured you away from your post, saying that nothing could happen, and you believing her, were totally unprepared when she slipped a sleeping draught into your wine. She and her associates slipped by and stole a large number of powerful treasures from the vaults, leaving you to be blamed for dereliction of duty. And you were. The duke, furious, stripped you of your title and threw you from the court. Now you spend most of your time at the bar, drinking away your woes. You're the laughingstock of the court, a burned-out fool. And you deserve every last mocking laugh. |
| Roleplaying Hints: Spend a lot of time reminiscing. The past is better than the future, anyways. Avoid any mention of Melinda or her cronies - there was a time when you wanted to get revenge on them, but there's no point. You are unfit to be a sidhe, and only the vaguest hope that you might find a way to redeem yourself keeps you alive. If people mock you overmuch, start to react, and then remember who you are, and sink back down into despair. Sometimes you consider throwing yourself at a challenge, like in the old days, but you'd only get in the way. |
