"HANDS OFF MY STUFF!" Fighting the Adventurer Menace

Reader mode
[X] Otto Von Bismark Von Charlson Von Alphonse Von Brittania Von Macha Von Grubber Von Mozanbeke Von Pheasant III
[X] Woman

[X] You were something of a scholar. Your parents kicked you at an early age out because you'd rather read than farm. As you studied in between odd jobs, you discovered that you had a talent for magic. Because you lacked the gold, titles, or raw power to make your way into the King's Court, you ended up as a peasant. Still, these adventurers stealing your things are just the thing to motivate you to try to develop your talent. (+2 Magic. One Story Home)
Three sheets to the wind and battling insomnia is the perfect time to suggest character information!
 
[X]Steve
[X] man, the oldest child of a pair of farmers.
[X] You used to produce siege weapons for the crown. You could design them fast and build them faster. However an ill timed insult to the son of a noblewoman left you out of favor with the crown. You were allowed to leave with your life but you were left destitute. You did manage to build yourself a nicer home than many of your neighbors. (+2 Engineering. Two Story Home)
 
[X] Recette
[X] woman, the oldest child of a pair of farmers.

[X] You were a shopkeeper. Several years ago, you managed to talk a loanshark into loaning money and you used it to open a store. You didn't have the money when the payment was due but you managed to talk the loanshark into not only forgiving your debt, but loaning you more money "Until the business got off the ground". You get revenge by fleecing adventurers by convincing them to pay more than your wares are worth but you are still losing money and had to take to farming just to have enough to eat. You can't keep living like this. (+2 Charisma. Shop used as your Home.)

Reminds me of that kickstarter game.

Will this be different from the one in SB? I think an engineer was winning there.

Indifferent to the name
 
For those of you don't know, I'm also running this quest on Spacebattles and I'm having a shared voting pool for the votes. Someone over there asked for clarification on the voting process so I thought that it would be good for the people on this site to know.
Btw are you splitting the vote for females by name or will they all count for a female character?

The I'm counting the votes for each gender on it's own. The name will be whichever got the most votes out of the winning gender.

Alright, we have 17 votes for a male protagonist, and 18 votes for a female protagonist across both sites. There's an hour left for voting so if anyone else wants to vote, now's the time. If you want to change your vote, delete your old vote and post your new one. Whichever gender wins the vote, the name that gets the most votes wins.

For SV the tally is 16 Male, 10 Female

For SB the tally is 04 Male, 11 Female

In total, that in 20 male, 21 female.

So our character is a woman named Def Bludd. She was an engineer for the crown before she fell from grace. Now, she must use her engineering knowledge to keep her home safe.
 
Well I feel stupid for not voting. I though Steve had it, but since I don't go to sb I didn't realize it was so close.
 
Well, a woman can also try to seduce the guys in order to make them drop their guard and then drop their very valuable objects.
 
Engineer? Simple. Craft the bane of adventurers everywhere to drive them out. Turn the entire town into a giant Platformer Challenge.
