so what do we actually have to do
Name: The Jester
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Race: Imperial, but it is hard to tell under all of the makeup
Titles: Royal Jester
Appearance: Wears Jester clothes (The medieval type, not the Cicero type) wears heavy makeup, a hat in the shape of a cone with a bell on top, bells are scattered across his clothing making it almost impossible for him to be unheard, and his clothes are bright red making it almost impossible for him to be unseen.
Equipment: He has a jester's staff with a sharp point on the bottom, and a red and blue painted dagger (ebony)
Combat Pref: An expert in traps. The Jester will almost always use trickery in his style of fighting. Whether it be stabbing someone in the back, or leading them into a wolves den, The Jester uses a very creative style of fighting
(Some) Backstory: The Jester lived and worked in High-King Torygg's court, but when the king was murdered by Ulfric, The Jester had to find a different line of work. He has refused to give up his jester garb and wanders Skyrim as a sellsword, assassin, or witcher. He has recently turned to hunting down monsters and defeating the evil that lurk in the crevices of Skyrim.
that he shall! I'm not sure if I should have him talk in rhymes though. Meh, whatever. I'll make it so that he rhymes often, but not all the time.He won't be telling bad jokes for the duration of the RP will he?
everyone in the king's court is supposed to know how to defend the king. The jester is a master of illusion and trickery, as well as being good with a dagger.Royal Jester as a vicious, top-of-the-line Witcher? Well, I suppose it is Mongo's decision.
You know Lucas, it would probably be better to actually put that stuff in the character card instead of making it up as people ask questions.everyone in the king's court is supposed to know how to defend the king. The jester is a master of illusion and trickery, as well as being good with a dagger.
well I WAS going to let you figure that out in the RP, but I guess not.You know Lucas, it would probably be better to actually put that stuff in the character card instead of making it up as people ask questions.
You have to make your character card good enough so that they accept you, then you can allow the reader to fill in the gaps. It's a sort of trick writers use to keep the reader coming back. I made a mysterious character and I will allow you to fill in the blanks as you read. That is why I said (SOME) backstory in the card.Why is that something that needs to be figured out? That should be something that is a given. The Jester mastered illusion and how to use a dagger in order to protect the King. Simple. Since you are already a Witcher (or assassin or sellsword) they would already need to know how you fight so might as well include it.
not ruin. It would just be nicer if they figured it out over time. That is how people become so attached to other people's characters. If they feel like they already know everything about them, it means nothing, but if they know there is more than meets the eye with a character, they may become more interested with him/her.How is posting that you learned to fight in order to defend the King possibly going to ruin your character?
allow me to make my introductory post, then we can have a friendly slap-fight over this.Lucas, telling readers how you learned to fight is not in any possible imaginary way going to even affect the mystery of your characters, especially if you already put he was a Royal Jester.
