Cami, Game Mod (Child of the 7th Age)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Samuel

Age: 22

Race: Man

Gender: Male

Skills: Skilled swordsman quickwitted
Weaknesses: Greedy and easily distracted by treasure, Always looked at as the younger child he is prone to fits of jealousy. He does have his wits about him and thinks things fully through. Sam has a soft spot for younger children he relates to them well and enjoys sharing with them the tales of old. Being modest at heart he is sometimes at war with himself his greed battling his conscience

Appearence:A fairly clean shaved young man his lng wavy brown hair reaches his shoulders and his tall stature makes him, despite his kindly smile, an rather imtimidating fellow. his clothes show his royal heritage but he tries not to flaunt it.

Weapons: A long Sword and a small steak knife used for eating

History:

Being Arthur's little Brother had always been against Sam's liking. Arthur got all the fun and glory because he was older. When he messed things up Sam would no longer be allowed to do the fun things. He learned his letters from his brother at a fairly early age and was always a bit bookish.

-------------------------------------------

Morsul the Dark's post

First Post:

Sam looked at his brother "Really? Mercenaries to fight mercenaries, they don't fight to the death, and surely we would be more suspicious. Simply call it a mistake should it come to it. Even the finest undertaker can not tell if one is dead sometimes." Sam looked at his brother. His brother had a glint in his eye as if he was in deep thought. Sam pulled out his pipe and filled it with longbottom, the finest imported weed in the land. It had always been his custom to do so when plotting.

Finally Sam looked up, "Perhaps Mercenaries aren't a bad idea. However we need a plan that will clear us of suspicion. Let us blame it on greedy peasants, commoners looking for a quick penny-cent of gold." He took his last puff then put out his pipe. He expertly cleaned it and placed it upon the table. He took his knife and began to cut the pig flesh on the plate in front of him. As he did he stopped he could only think of what he had done. 'No' He boldly thought himself 'It was our inheritance she had no right to it.' He looked up at his brother and waited for him to to tell his plan, his brother was, after all, the master of the plan.

Hi, Morsul. Please check your pms. Child

Crystal Heart · 08-20-2004, 06:41 AM

Morsul I liked the post. That's how I pictured Samuel. Much more twisted and evil then his father or his brother-if that is at all possible.

Child-Does this mean we start? I have no idea what I am doing since this is my first game. Can you give me some insight? Thanks!

Child of the 7th Age · 08-20-2004, 12:10 PM

Thanks, Pio. Everything going well here, but I was unavoidably detained this morning and it looks like this afternoon as well.

Crystal - Lookin' good! Just do the things in Pio's short list and we should be on the road.

Morsul the Dark · 08-20-2004, 03:51 PM

yes I was wondering that as well

Firefoot · 08-20-2004, 04:31 PM

Starkat and Morsul - Generally it's okay to include another character in your post for conversation, as long as you stay true to the other player's character.

I'm excited for this to get going! Hi, everybody! Especially Morsul and Perky, my, er... Harold's sons.

Looking forward to RPG'ing with y'all!

Morsul the Dark · 08-21-2004, 11:00 AM

I see the order of the first posts. Do I wait for Perky to post before I posts again? Do we stay in that order?

The Perky Ent · 08-21-2004, 03:09 PM

Morsul, that's just the order for the first post! You can post whenever you want! Today, Tomorrow, a week from now! You have two weeks!

Firefoot · 08-22-2004, 05:06 PM

My save is filled. Perky and Morsul - please do not take offense at any of the things Harold thinks about your characters! He is quite critical, and furious at the moment. It is in no way what I think about them!

Morsul the Dark · 08-22-2004, 06:19 PM

not worried about it as youll see im going to attempt to create sam as a kind of soft guy that wants to be bad

Firefoot · 08-23-2004, 04:17 PM

Morsul - forgiveness for what? Eventually Sam will end up leaving whether he wants to or not, but it might make the game more interesting if he stayed against it.

Crystal - no problem. Lots of people confuse me for a guy.

Crystal Heart · 08-23-2004, 05:20 PM

Morsul-actually go with that. go with the whole wanting forgiveness thought and wanting to stay to face his punishment. have sam fight against the idea. it'll add for a thicker, more interesting plot. I like the idea. Please run with it.

Morsul the Dark · 08-23-2004, 05:20 PM

forgiveness for trying to kill sandrana

Morsul the Dark · 08-25-2004, 03:33 PM

Firefoot dont take my last post to heart Sam is angry with Harold and is not fond of him at the moment.

Pippin Pondlily · 08-25-2004, 03:41 PM

Here is the first section of the game outline:

1. Sandrina is at the Inn and remembers who she is somewhat.

Forms the company.

They head off towards the estate hoping to find the family.

Harold and his sons have been living at the estate for many months.

Harold hears that a band with Sandrina is coming and since there are only three of them, they begin to pack up and leave, swearing revenge.

The bad guys have kept an eye on the parents and already know where they are in the woods.

The good guys do not know where the parents are. (One Week)
