Britain's Salvation [King Arthur Myth RP AU - Nasuverse Variant]

Reader mode
Was just mentioning how the the decline of Mystery and the general decline of magecraft is being felt, just not really in Britain at the moment. As in this time period it is a bit of a holdover.

Also, I don't know if you can call us magus in the sense that most of the magecraft users aren't actually trying for the Root. None of the magic user characters so far even care about True Magic or the death of Wonders.

Like magi are far off. Estro and I have not even nailed down how the whole thing starts even, the root came way later.

Magus is the general catch-all term for "human practitioner of magecraft." It doesn't specify "person looking for a path to the Root" and it was used way before the decline of Mystery started.

@KnightDisciple To clarify, even with the IC Thread up, (check out the OP, it's linked there.) I'm still accepting players to fill up the empty spots.

Alright, thank you. I've added more to Gaheris's sheet. Please let me know if anything is no-go right now so I can change it before everything's in place. Pretty much just Abilities and Relationships left.
 
@KnightDisciple

Just a minor correction but none of the Knights are sitting since they're in the presence of the Dukes of Britain. If you're sitting, that kinda implies you're on equal standing with them. Expect some uproar if you do that even if there some empty extra chairs left by unattending Dukes. :V
So might be better to say Gaheris is leaning on a nearby wall or something along these lines.

Aha, my apologies, will fix.

I'm assuming that, like what some of the others have said, Gaheris has maybe 1-200 folks he could directly call up, being a middle child and all.

EDIT: Fixed.

@Terran Imperium I'm not actually sure what Agravin has in the way of lands or troops, if he has any. I haven't found anything that says one way or the other.

Most players asked me on the Discord. You're the second born of Duke Lot, like Gawain, you'll have a county.
Gawain can muster a levy of 6k able-bodied men, 10k if he scraps in the elders and children. The same goes for you.

I'm trying to remember from Discord, but Gareth and Gaheris can only get, what, 1k guys if that?

How much control will the PCs have over quantity vs quality and so on?

What I described above about what you can pull up is the max levy with an emphasis on quantity.
The lesser the numbers, the easier it'll be to train them and have them be good quality troops.
 
I'm already getting secret actions. Ha.
Just to clarify guys, if you're having some secret actions done. PM it.

A few conversations were started by NPCs to the concerned players. The rest can speak to the other players, after these brief conversations that lay the groundwork for subtle plot points that'll show their ugly heads later and characterization, of course. We'll be getting into the actual war campaign.

Alright, I'll think it over.

Also, you mixed up the wives. Gaheris is married to Lynette according to your opening post, not Gareth.
 
What is Arthurian/British storytelling without a bit of shameless romance, eh folks?

Quite lucky of you to have posted now. I would have just moved on regardless. IC, it would have created a very awkward and intimidating situation for the two sisters facing their unresponsive husbands and their face hidden by their helmets. They would walk away with a heavy heart.

Name: Ser Percival
Titles: 8th Knight of the Round Table, The Red Knight, Seeker of the Grail
Appearance:
Biography: The son of Duke Pellinore and Duchess Feninna of the Isles, younger brother of Ser Lamorak, Ser Percival was raised by his mother in ignorance of arms and courtesy. Yet because of his upbringing, Percival was one of the most gracious and innocent of the Knights of the Round Table. Percival's natural prowess ultimately led him to King Arthur's court. He is the Eighth Knight of the Round Table and thus takes the eighth seat.
Notable Feats:
  • In one strike, slew the Red Knight and claimed his armor.
  • Along with Bors and Galahad, went on a quest for the Grail.
Equipment:
  • The Red Knight's armor, which Percival has long since repainted to be a dark grey colour. Aside from being a sturdy set of armor, it provides a minor Magic Resistance effect.
  • The Red Knight's spear, a cursed polearm which, although initially appearing innocuous, should a sufficient amount of Mana be forced into it, will cover itself in a deluge of horrific barbs, which actively drain an enemy's blood at a great speed once stabbed into them.
  • The sword of the Fisher King, broken 3 times and finally repaired for good by Sir Galahad. An excellent short-sword, it also grants the wielder constant, if rather slow, regeneration.
Abilities:
  • Percival's speed and strength is near-inhuman, reaching the utmost peak of human limits and at times, seemingly surpassing them. Unfortunately for him, while not exactly dull, Percival is naive, innocent and at times rather easy to manipulate.
  • His skill at combat is transcendent. Were it not for Lancelot and the King, it could be said that he is the single greatest fighter on The Isles, though his lack of experience and stubborn adherence to honorable combat hold him back, and may be ultimately be his undoing.
  • Percival's skill at using weapons is nearly on the level of Sir Lancelot himself, mastering nearly anything he touches far more quickly than any other knight, though he loathes to use anything other than his spear and sword.
  • Percival can strategize on a relatively grand level, though he essentially works with whatever tactics and strategies were drilled into him during his training, and he has little to no creativity with which to be truly effective.
  • He has Magic Circuits, but neglected his training in their use to such a degree that he can scarcely summon forth even minor illusions which he uses more for entertainment than combat. He even has difficulty mustering enough magical energy to activate his spear's curse.
Relationships: King Arthur: The greatest king there ever was, and Percival's idol. He would do anything and everything for the sake of his King.
Sir Lancelot: The definition of a perfect knight, and a good friend of the King. Percival highly respects him.
Sir Kay: The King's brother, and his trusted confidant. Though Percival really does respect him, he deeply dislikes just how mean Kay is.
Sir Bedivere: A senior knight, same as Sir Kay.
Sir Gawain: A senior knight, Same as Sir Kay.
Sir Agravain: Mostly same as Sir Kay, though Percival has an irresistible desire to mess with him.
Sir Gaheris: A good knight and his senior, though a tad bit too mad at times.
Sir Gareth: Aside from respecting 'him' as a fellow knight, Percival finds casual conversation to be easier with Gareth than most others due to the two being relatively closer in age, and the fact that Percival finds 'him' to be strangely cute, at times.
Sir Tristan: Percival hasn't really seen him do anything other than seemingly sleep, but he got on the Round Table, so he's definitely deserving of respect!
Sir Bors: A true knight of honour and purity, and his friend. Percival's loyalty to 'him' is stronger than the greatest of fortresses.
Sir Lamorak: Percival's beloved older brother. Though they didn't meet until well into Percival's later teenage years, he loves Lamorak earnestly, and his loyalty for the older man is equal to that which he has for his Grail-seeking companions. Indeed, Percival more often than not accompanies Lamorak as a sort of body-guard when he's not off questing on his own, and trusts him more than their own father.
Sir Galahad: Equal to Sir Bors in every way. A knight of integrity and strength, one that Percival is glad to have such a bond with.
Sir Mordred: A strange knight, to be sure, but 'he' more than proved 'his' worth while besting Lamorak. Though he holds no grudge against Mordred for it, this act made Percival want to fight the other knight all the more in order to test his own skills.
Lady Morgan: Though Percival idolizes her just as much as the rest of his King's family, he can't help but feel rather uncomfortable in her presence. His brother likes her though, so she can't be all that bad, right?
Queen Guinevere: The perfect queen for the perfect King. She is to be respected, and her honour to be protected fiercely.
Lord Vortigern Pendragon: The King's uncle, and as such, a naturally respected figure. A bit too rough for Percival's tastes otherwise.
Merlin: Though he is undoubtedly a bizarre old man, Percival finds his presence strangely mesmerizing. He occasionally follows the wizard around like a lost puppy just to see what he does in his daily life.

First Encounter with Arthur: Percival met the King soon after setting off from the Barren Forest and heading to Camelot at the age of 15, seeking to be knighted as quickly as possible. He proved his strength by slaying the Red Knight in one blow, and was granted a seat on the Round Table.
