The Mead Hall (OOC Chat)
So, here's my very general concept:
My knight is the second son of a formerly-wealthy family... they had a mine on their land for generations. He's a bit simple in the head, and much to the chagrin of his family, he preferred working in the mines alongside the peasants to his studies. Given his second son status, however, they sort of overlooked his odd behavior.
Then the family falls on hard times. First, the mine dries up and shortly thereafter the first son dies (maybe the two are related... I'm sure there are whispers). Now, it's up to the simple second son to take up the mantle and save the family.
This guy is probably a real brute in terms of raw strength, thanks to his time in the mines, but he has little formal training, and he certainly isn't the guy you want representing the party in courtly situations. Kind... but rather peasanty. I'm thinking Illiterate + Gifted Physique. It's pretty much the opposite of my prototypical characters... could be fun.
Thoughts?
