Sir Knight Imbert

There's other stuff I need to be doing, but I want to share (at least the current iteration of) Rancent's playlist here because I love it so much. Character playlists are so special to me. RIP 8tracks

Randy Ortiz, “Battles”

our solution was to bring some of the tabletop mechanics to the text-based roleplay, where he still keeps a character sheet, rolls dice for ability checks, and has round-based combat like usual; the only difference is we take turns writing in an Ellipsus document, much like regular roleplay happens here. i still narrate the scenes, control NPCs, and organize combat, the process is just slowed down considerably by us taking the time to write everything out

anyway, all that is to say, please look at how much we have written together in the span of 4 months:

i am very proud of what we've made, and i think our agreed-upon goal is to (eventually) edit and clean up some of this story to be shared with more than just us

INFO ON THE MAN

Imbert grew up in a noble house, to 2 noble families. His grandfather in his mother's side, and the men before him, have been Dragon Riders as long as there have been Dragon Riders.

(he's learning about the true history of the riders right now in his story and when he comes to terms with that we'll update here)

His grandfather died when he was 10. Unless a successor is named upon death the Dragon is culled after the passing of the Rider. So no dragon for him.

He grew up thinking he'd still have a chance to be one, but despite his hard work he was never chosen for the Rider, his rival and ex @knightdraconis , surpassing him in rank and becoming a Rider thanks to family money moving hands. (Though she is unaware that's the case.)

He has been a knight now for nearly 20 years.

In his youth he was happy to be sent into battle, to prove himself and his skill. This is where he earned his name, Beast. He will kill indiscriminately and without remorse, everyone dies and if that's by his hand so be it.

In his older age, he often is ordered to stand in the King's court. A terrifying visage, a grim reminder of the power of his king through his command over, The Beast.

As time moves on, younger knights take his place. Though the stone face and cold of his armour strike fear in the hearts of those who remember, his inactivity in the field at the behest of his king has made him not more than a boogeyman to the people of Geddon. He was not quiet about the dust he had started to collect.

In an attempt to placate the knight, he was sent to the edge of the kingdom, to the small village of Key, to investigate an uptick in disappearances. However things in Key were not as mundane as they seemed on the surface.

The mayor was bed ridden, the steward running things in his stead, Eadhelm, was unhelpful and frankly suspect. There is a wall in the woods, he was warned against venturing further than, and when he did, the men he was with were killed by the man Eadhelm, who turned out to be a changeling Rancent.

The rest, they say, is history.
