"Blood and Gold" - A CK2 Mercenary Quest

Justin Selway of Angshire, a strapping young lad, the Captain of the Roaring Tides, best soldiers in the Sea of Storms. Quite an illustrious title for you.

I'm afraid; I don't actually know what you look like, could you step forward.

Though it has been proved that you are not exactly the most attentive of students, due to the lacklustre result of your education, what exactly would be the terms you would use to describe yourself?

Pick Traits (PICK THREE)
[ ] Duelist: A touchy ego and a sharp sword make for a lethal combination.

[ ] Greedy: You love to hoard resources! Why? Who cares! You have shinies!

[ ] Chaste: You've never been one to indulge in sex.

[ ] Trusting: You like people, and they appreciate that.

[ ] Likeable: You're easy to get along with, and people trust you more easily. You didn't become that way by hiding away and reading a book, however.

[ ] Subtle: Large, ostentatious meetings or displays of power have never been your style. Manipulating from the shadows, however…

[ ] Hedonist: Life has to be lived to the fullest, and you can use that experience well.

Please use plan format, and I think this is the end of character creation. I'm also going to be bullshitting about how many men can fit into a ship. Just a heads up.
