[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3943902, member: 4936"] [I]Looks great! A good old-fashioned swashbuckly background.[/I] -- Hee, thanks. I figured I didn't necessarily want to -obligate- her origin to be a story element, but I'd leave it there in case you wanted to make it one. :) [I]Minor nitpick - it's Astres, not Astre.[/I] -- Doh, sorry. [I]Only thing that needs a little expansion is how exactly she came to enter Master Carthis's tutelage. Hmmm. If you didn't have anything in mind, it's possible that maybe she was caught in some minor misdemeanour by a local guard, who saw potential in her and considered it a shame to just throw the book at her and put her in a cell - so instead sent her packing to Carthis, hoping some simple living and physical labour would put her on the straight and narrow at the same time as her martial skill improved.[/I] -- Oops...I somehow missed this starting condition. Depending on who exactly Master Carthis is, it's possible that when Thorn decided to end her seafaring adventures, Captain Squireson recommended Master Carthis as a good place to go next to continue her training. This would imply a connection of some sort between the two NPC's of course. It would be, from my perspective, a lot easier to use than the punishment one...since she'd constantly be looking for ways to subvert or escape a punishment, but would willingly endure great hardship if Carthis' tutelage was something she was intentionally seeking. [I]Just an idea of course - if you have other thoughts then go ahead. [/I] Would it work then, if her former master had 'referred' her to Carthis? [/QUOTE]
