Power ideas
I see that people have trouble coming up with powers. So I think I will give some examples and ideas.
-sorceress knight
Ashley is a disciple of the sorcerer Merlin. She has great magical power and is a master of blending her sorcery with martial combat
-blood of dragons
Ashley strongly features the dragon blood of the Pendragons. She has the great strength and durability, and a lesser amount of enchanced speed. She can use her draconic power to feature draconic abilities such as breath and control fire, project an aura of fear, or grow draconic wings at will. Possibly, she might be able to fully change into a full draconic form, at least for a limited time
-Empowered warrior
As a knight of Camelot, empowered with techniques of magic and weaponry crafted by Merlin himself, Ashley is a great fighter empowered by use of magic. This magic makes her incredibly fast, and enchances her strength and durability as well. She can wield this magic in combat in various ways, from making the target of attacks burn, to healing herself mid-fight to making huge leaps in combat. She wields powerful magical weapons and armor that push her fighting prowess even further
those are all just examples and ideas. Feel free to change them or just write in your own things

[X] Empowered warrior
This seems fun
This seems fun
vote update and closing soon
since the vote seems to have been confused, with the power vote not being understood well, I think I will just cancel the power vote, and close the vote for the character idea in two hours. we will do the powers in a separate vote, together with a few more details on the character

So this is the path of Artoria Caster. Looks pretty good.
I really like the theme here.
So basically a medieval magical Iron Man, only without the ability to create gear. Not sure how much I like this idea.
I had this idea, but I'm not sure if it would actually work.
[X] Knight princess dragon
There are rumours among the people that dragon blood flows in the veins of the Pendragon royal family. And Ashley knows the veracity of these rumours better than anyone. Since childhood, she has been forced to shun her peers due to her great strength and short temper. Ashley spent most of her life among her father's knights, learning how to properly use her power and hearing stories of their exploits. She dreamed of one day completely subjugating the power of the dragon bloodline, but this was not destined to come true...
Ashley is a skilled warrior, having the advantage of superhuman strength, durability, and endurance. Like dragons, she uncontrollably suppresses many supernatural phenomena such as magic, and her aura can instil fear in enemies and courage in allies. In case of extreme need, Ashley can manifest more of her draconic nature by resorting to partial transformation, gaining the ability to become even stronger and more durable, gaining access to regeneration, fire breathing or flight. However, in this state, Ashley becomes much more direct, arrogant and aggressive. In addition, the princess cannot maintain such a state for long, and the struggle between her chivalrous beliefs and dragon instincts leaves her mentally exhausted after her detransformation.
So, the idea consists mainly of the standard superhuman package, knight training, magic resistance (including friendly), fear/bravery aura, and dragon transformation as a trump card. As well as being cool, it also works well with the backstory and gives room for the character to grow.
Well, looks like we shouldn't be making a decision right now anyway.

I think the problem was you used task tags for character but not for power.
the idea is more a knight that uses magic to enchant himself, with magical equipment supporting the build by giving added damage, protection and bonuses.
love this idea! it seems like a really interesting use of the dragon theme and could really be fun to play with. and it's always fun that questers suggest their own ideas!
I will be sure to add it as option to the power vote
vote closed. update should come in about an hour
edit:well looks like the tally is having a problem counting votes from former pages
it's probably only counting the votes from the power ideaspost since it's threadmarked. still , the Camelot option won, by hand count

the princess of Camelot
Camelot. the castle and court of King Arthur, king of the Britons, the most legendary king of England. a castle ruling lands of magic and heroes whose tales will be told for a thousand years. this is your home, and its memory greets you as your thoughts stir.
you remember it now, as you emerge from the deepest sleep. your subconsciousness emerges first and with it memories. faintest hints of roses in the gardens, the feelings of swords and lances in your hand as you defeated knight after knight.
you focus. you dream now, something that has not happened for… how much time is this? you try to feel the world around you, yet your reaching senses find nothing. you can't see… can't hear. you can only feel your own mind. still, a vast improvement over dreamless sleep.
a voice speaks in your mind, it's a soft, faint whisper shaking you from the thoughts. Oh, how wonderful it is to think again, to feel, to hear again another voice. your mind does the mental equivalent of stretching after a long sleep. only then the strangeness of the situation occurs to you.
"what has happened to me? where am I?"
the voice speaks, gentle and calming in contradiction to its disturbing words. "you have slept for long, outside of normal time and space. a long time has passed since the age you know, how much exactly, I do not know. but now you finally stir to wakefulness prepare, for soon you will awake."
you don't know how to respond to his words. you do not even know how you got to this state. you certainly don't know how to get out! how to prepare? the voice said that you are outside time and space, how can you even know how time can pass so you till you will wake?
that thought disturbs you most of all. you can imagine your entire body shaking, though you can feel nothing of it. what has happened to you, what is going on with father? has he managed to defeat Morgana and Mordred? what is going on in Camelot?
Camelot. the name anchors you gives you purpose. you must get to Camelot, find what is going on, and help if you can. as soon as you think of Camelot, the voice sounds again. it is stronger now, commanding, yet it still maintains its former gentleness. it feels.. familiar.
"Camelot, good. it is good of you to remember it. the past will be an anchor for you now, it will sustain you, maintain you. what do you remember of it? such a long time here can damage your memory? do you remember who you are?"
of course you remember! you are the princess of Camelot, one of its greatest knights and champions!
"think. recollect yourself. you might be in shock when you wake. make sure you remember. you will need it now" the voice commands, sternly, yet you think you can hear a faint tone of mercy in his voice. then it is gone, you can almost feel its presence withdrawing from your mind.
you want to laugh, well if you could feel your body. you know who you are. you remember. you shouldn't waste your time- or whatever it is that passes here- on such foolish recollections. you need to get back to Camelot. you are not sure how you got here, but you can remember father was in grave danger.
but against your will, your memories stir. they pass through your consciousness, as the voice whispers one more time, faintly again. "remember your past".
you were born as the princess of Albion, the daughter of the great King Arthur and his wife Queen Guinevere. the birth of the princess of Camelot was celebrated by all men in the court, as she was given her name by Arthur

but those were only pleasures and hobbies, and even the tutoring was only secondary. your most central part of your education was always training to become a knight. for that purpose you trained constantly, receiving lessons from your father's greatest knights, and all saw great promise in you. you were trained not only in the way of the sword but also learned

[]skill and might
you had no supernatural abilities, apart from maybe some minor teachings of Merlin. no, what made you into a worthy knight of Camelot were your skills, might, and strength of your spirit. what knight needs more? you have the best skills and combat prowess, and are simply a highly talented knight, though you do sport a magical sword, shield, and armor.
[]write in
notes about options:
1)the sorceress training option and the sorcerous knight power option are separate, they can be chosen together or each one can be chosen by itself. their bonuses stack.
2)while some skillset options buff more stats than others, all options in a choice have the same point budget, so options that buff more stats will give smaller buffs.

Ashley is not a name that fits King Arthur times, so you get to choose an ancient name(possibly one that sounds similiar). Your modern name will be Ashley

Yes, you are right.
Looking at the era, it was most likely a Latin name, right? In that case, I think Aurora would be appropriate.

Depends, do you think Arthur was the last Roman defending Britain from the Angles and Saxons or was a Briton trying to beat back the romans?
Albinka would be the female version of Albion if we went Latin Popular Baby Names , origin latin
Which is kinda a shame we missed Albion.
Alys or Aelwyd or something if we went Welsh Popular Baby Names , origin Welsh
In this universe, Arthur was a pre-chritian briton living long after tye Romans, with a mix of Welsh and anglo-saxon in terms of culture

Well thats an interesting scholarly topic to touch on:
Article: In summary, we find Pattison's (2008) argument, while persuasively written, to be wanting in terms of methodology, data sources, underlying assumptions and application. We conclude that for now an apartheid-like social structure is supported by historical and archaeological evidence and remains the most plausible model to explain the high degree of northwest continental European male-line ancestry in England.
Article: In early Anglo-Saxon times, slaves were often descendants of the conquered British population: the Anglo-Saxon word for "Briton" is used interchangeably for "slave".
Article: In fact, some scholars have suggested that the Anglo-Saxons practiced a sort of apartheid against the local Celtic-speaking people between the fifth and 9th centuries, where they probably lived apart, or only had limited interaction. As we saw in South Africa from 1948 until Nelson Mandela came to power in 1994, apartheid was, however, hard to enforce long-term. Ethnic cleansing by the Anglo-Saxons is a likely alternative scenario, as suggested by the fact that Celtic culture and language did not survive outside of Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
Unrelated but also interesting, Norman names are overrepresented in Universities by something like 25% Sue the Normans! | The Spectator Its interesting the effects of colonialism that still echo in Europe that we never see.
E: I think I once saw a source of some petty king setting out like 13 castes of slaves and how this would prevent the native Britons from breeding but I've never found it since and it seems like the sort of thing that would be brought up a lot in discussions of apartheid, so I don't trust that I'm not misremembering it.

I want to double down on the magic aspect since I feel like magic can be a great way yo provide versatility to this character. My question is if she will be a baseline human with lots of training and magic based on what I chose?

Ashley is a disciple of the sorcerer Merlin. She has great magical power and is a master of blending her sorcery with martial combat
I want to double down on the magic aspect since I feel like magic can be a great way yo provide versatility to this character. My question is if she will be a baseline human with lots of training and magic based on what I chose?
She would be a bit above baseline human due to her heritage, and training will further improve her. She will also have the ability to enchance herself with magic. She will be lesser physically relative to other option, but will compensate for it with the added options and versatility magic gives her. And she will still be far above most mundane combatants

We need to get two ranks of the attractive advantage, just for the shenanigans that would cause.

alright, I will close the vote in 4 hours. currently we have a tie between dragon princess and sorceress knight, we could use a tie breaker on it. otherwise the leading options are a sorceress training, with traveling and athleticism as minor skillsets and unarmed fighting and tankiness as combat styles.
after this is finished, we can have a vote on the character image while I write the first story update
