Character Backgrounds

  • This tale takes place long before any of the events of the Amber books, in Corwin's Shadow of Avalon, before it was lost. None of you have ever been to Amber. You might have heard of it, but most legends and tales have it as a dark place, where only the wicked would want to go. Of Chaos you have never heard.
  • This is essentially an Arthurian adventure-style game. Forests, knights, mystic sorcerers, damsels in distress, Ladies of the Lake, jousting and other medieval events are likely to be included. Please bear this in mind when creating your character.
  • I would also really prefer it if the characters were inclined to co-operate with each other, since I don’t want to have to run four separate games.

What I would like to see for each character:

  • Name
  • Statistics (Strength, Endurance, Warfare, Psyche)
  • Stuff
  • Powers
  • Info on who your character is. (Some details of how and where the Character grew up, and the sorts of things that happened to them to make them the person they are today. Somewhere between 75-150 words is fine.)
  • Who you think your parents are (or might be).
  • What the 'common folk' know about you.
  • What you think others (i.e. other PC's) know about you.
  • Possibly some 'private' background, something your character tries to keep hidden from others (in 100 words or less.)
