I've never tried the narrative method before, so I'd like to get some feedback on what others thought. The idea is a clan warrior who is politically connected (read: lots of hooks), but not politically important (read: expendable). I was thinking of someone who hasn't yet done much on the other side, just the "regular" rituals. I threw in Vanganth and being a juror just "because". These numbers don't yet include the 5w and 1w upgrades, but is otherwise the standard 5w/1w/17/13 character.
Tendak Tankinorsson is a clan Tamarling weaponthane. He is an Devotee
of
Orlanth Adventurous and follows his ancestor Vanganth. Although
physically
brawny, his quickness, and stamina are remarkable. Tendak is a veteran
skirmisher who prefers to attack with stealth and surprise. As heir to
the
Aelthir bloodline and a juror, he knows Heortling laws and history. He
is
a charismatic leader, strong-willed, and long-winded. He inherited the
shield
Solid Defender from his invalid father. The warriors Janstol and
Wenalain are
always at Tendak's side. He and his wife Ehlenna, an Ernaldan Godi from
clan X,
have three children.
FWIW, it is 98 words. I figure I should add some just to make it flow better, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
