Recruiting: Rowaini Musketeers--One for All and All for One!

[Bront]

Emphasis mine.

How did I miss that?

 

[Fenris]

How did I miss that?

A massively busy RL?

 

[Bront]

A massively busy RL?

Yeah, probably.

I still haven't gotten input about if I should use the sword or the locket...

 

[Fenris]

Well, what makes more sense to connect the character to his history? The sword is obvious, the locket more symbolic.

I haven't read your background, but from the small bit you posted I think your connection to your father is more direct and would dictate the legendary item come from that side of the family. Keep the locket and put a heartstone in it later

On the other hand, it wouldn't make the sense for the locket to get Brice's own heartstone, as it is a symbol of his mother's influence on him--Brice's whole personality disorder seems to be the overshadowing phantom legacy of his mother. Good that you made the suggestion, though, Fenris, as it made me realise that the opposite might be better--start with the locket and the phantom legacy of his dead mother (probably would start with some protection, I guess? Mothers like protecting their baby), and add thw sword later, his own sword, to show his ability to grow as an individual.

Also, I'm flexible on the Saint's Blessing / Witch's Curse thing. I didn't have an option for an angelic version, but it could be some Guardian Angel minor protective boon to show that his mother is watching him from Heaven with the angels or something like that.

That sounds good. Protection actualy sounds good, though that might be a little too cool. It is more his father's shadow of his mother that haunts him than his own. He never learned to deal with women as individuals (In a crowd, he's fine) from his dad's withdrawl, and his almost fear of women is fueled by his interpretation of his father's guilt.

As for the saint's blessing, It would be ironic if he was blessed with favor in the eyes of the ladies somehow Or perhaps simply blessed with social charm and grace.

We can go with favour in the eyes of women--He can have the blessing of the Patron Saint of Lady's Men. I'll base it off the Alluring trait from the WotC RPG, so that'll be just a general flavour of being attractive to ladies and then +3 to Charisma-based skill checks in their eyes. Very ironic for the guy who is scared of girls

I can already tell that this is going to be an in interesting Musketeer band

I think the locket should have a lightning bolt on it.

Hey all my suggestions can't be winners.

Rystil, I was thinking, I have gone very French heavy on this with names and terminology, which isn't quite fair to your setting. So am I over-doing it, or on target?

 

[Rystil Arden]

Hmm, thinking about it, I'm guessing that a father like Brice's wouldn't pick that kind of Saint for a blessing. It could, however, be a mixed blessing from a mischievous Trickster Angel who thought it would be funny to watch Brice get the attention of the ladies

Actualy, given his father's activities before his mother died, it's perfect.
