Hope this isn't too late:
Arthur King's birthday was coming up. He was excited. Having just graduated high school, looking forward to geting his own apartment and starting at Hixville Community College, and growing fairly wealthy off of the combination of graduation and birthday presents, he was anticipating a golden age in his life.
Then he got, THE PACKAGE. He figured it was just another present, so he opened it up and inside there was the most fantastic sword-replica wrapped in fine cloth with a note attached: "Happy Birthday, T.L.O.T.L"
After searching through his lexicon of text lingo, he was quite certain he didn't know who it came from, but was quite certain it was 100% pure awesome. The minute he picked it up out of the box, he KNEW it was pure awesome. He felt strong, fast, and just like when Keanu KNEW kung-fu, Arthur KNEW how to kick ass and take names with this sword. As he was examining his new gift he noticed it had a name etched into the blade-"Excalibur."
At this point, Arthur has picked up a bullet-proof vest and is attempting to fashion a super-hero costume for himself with a England, King Arthur motif. He's also researching Excalibur and trying to figure out who snet him his sword. I plan on crafting links between him and other PCs once we know who is in.
Powers: Basically, a bad-ass with a sword. He loses all of his powers if he doesn't have his sword (drawback). I am not sure if the sword should come with the mythical scabbard of invulnerability or not--it would certainly add to his survivability. In game terms: Sword would grant Strike, be fairly accurate, and maybe have a couple of interesting melee-based special attacks. If I don't have the scabbard, I'll probably also give the sword some deflection in order to give myself SOME defenses. If I do have the scabbard, it will probably give me a number of immunities and Protection that I lose if I lose the scabbard.
