04-04-07, 11:27 PM I need help with a backstory for a LN Human Knight of St. Cuthbert.

So far i've got:

Zook, as he would later be known as, was left on the steps of the Church of St. Cuthbert as payment for an unknown debt. As a name wasn't left the preists decided to call him H'you(short for hey you). They thought that they should train him as a cleric, but after a while the decided that he didn't have the right stuff to be part of the clergy, but once he was found with a sheild, and some paded armour helping one of the knights train and the knight could barely get a hit on him.
So the clergy sent him off to train as a knight. After almost five years of being a castle page he was promoted to squirehood, and his knight was a dwarf by the name of Sir Viet Stonesheild.
One night after a royal ball, Viet being part of the the king's guard had to be there. That night Viet and a gnome knight named Gimble were up late drinking and and while drink they realized H'you didn't have a real name, so Gimble decided to call him Zook after his favorite uncle, who went crazy at the age of 50. So after that Viet gave Zook his own surname, since Zook thought of him as a father. So from then on he was to go by the name of Zook Stonesheild.
After his initiatiation into knighthood, Viet gave him a mithril towersheild, and Zook gave him a longsword. Later after Zook and a group of knight's.

Type some more later, any comments or suggestions?

04-06-07, 02:51 AM Alright. I rock at these.

At one time, 300 years into the past, a Pit fiend secretly took over a Chirch to St. Cuthbert and in a high prests disguse, told the People of the land that St. Cuthbert was angery at them. He said that their ansestors had partaken in an rebellion against the king, and had killed 99,000 people and priests in the prosses. He told them that the king of old was an huge St Cuthbert worshiper, and that the people of the time had to pay for their ansestors sins. he demanded a Child be given to the church each year, so he may be sacraficed to please the god. The people did what they were told for 200 years, then a cleric of the St discovered the High priest was a pit fiend. The curch slew him and a new High priest was appointed. However...

A Paragon human (who wasnt aware he was a paragon) heard the message of the Pit fiend at the time it was annoucned, and he knew that he had to sacrafice his next child. After all, it was his duty as a towns mayor. However, things didnt go as expected. the Man had to go away for a while to a nearby contry for some trading. he left. Unfortunatly, he was captured by Pirates and was gone from the whole land for 300 years. When he returned (with a son he had with the pirate queen), he didnt know the old ways or sacrafice were abolished. He left his son on the door of the Chirch and went.

The clerics found the baby and they decided it was better to adopt it then to leave it in the cold. They keept him in the temple for five years before they decited that if he wanted to stay, he had to be a cleric. The boy accepted quickly.

Training was boring. The boy, called H'you by his peer and the Clerics, didnt give a dire rats ass about all the divine crap. He liked the maces. Those big, heavy weapons that killed things. THe Clerics werent thrilled wiht him eather. They said they had better luck teaching a wall. One time, H'you got so fed up with classes, he snuck out. He ran to the barracks and disgused himself as a squire and decited to help a knight train. he took a shield and some simple armor and started to bout.

The clerics had enough. Once they found the boy, he would be kicked out of the temple! They looked everywhere untill they reached the barracks, where they found the boy, actually dodging the head knight, Frolance! He ducked, weaved, and blocked all his attacks. At this moment, the clerics knew that the boy was much better off as a Knight.

They shipped him to the king, who shipped him to the royal Barracks. He was then, for five years, work and do choirs for the knights. He hated every moment of it. at least for the first two years. Then he met Gimble, a Gnome squire working for a lazy knight. They met when Gimble threw a beer bottle at his knight and it hit the Knight square in the head. As punishment, he was sent to the stable to pick up horse crap. Then he ran into H'you. They met, they joked, ane became friends. Gimble tought H'you everything he needed to become a good page. And three years later, H'you was a squire and Gimble was an honerary knight.

Dispite the fact that H'you begged to be Gimbles Squire, the king assinged him to a dwarf named Sir Viet Stonesheild. The Dwarf was stern and tough. He made H'you forget everything he knew about good and evil. The only principle worth living for was law, the dwarf would often say. H'you was not occustiomed to such seriousnes, especaly with Gimble, but he underestood the knight's reasoning and knew that the only way to graduate would be to act on it. SO he did so. Eventually, he became a true lawful.

Meanwhile, the big royal ball had come up, and all the gaurds had to be their. So came Viet and Gimble. Viet had been friends with gimble once, but they stopped when Gimble had adoped a more chaiotic veiwpoint on life. However, ten hours of watching old people talk made even Viet want a drink. badly. So he and gimble went after the ball for some beer.

The conversations varried from happy to bad, then they both got drunk.
Then the topic of H'you came up. Both not able to add two and two at this point, decided to name him something nice. Gimble suggested Zook, after his crazy uncle. For one reason, he was gimbles favorate uncle, and secondly, for contrast to h'you's personality, whitch was hard by now. After all, no one could take a human named Zook seriously, no matter how he acted. they agreed and shook on it.

The next morning, Viet, nice and sober, had to give H'you a name. He was going to name him "Stonesoul", but then Gimble reminded him of his promise. After hitting himself, he named H'you Zook.

When the day came for Zook to go off, He was a hareded soldger and a supporter of St. Cuthbert. As a goodby gift, the dwarf gave him the mithral shield he used to slay a dragon, and Gimble gave him a sword, and told Zook "Whenever you strike with this blade, remember that for life to exist, law must be balanced with chaos."

And so Zook left.

IM DONE! WOOT! Well, ignore it or use it or change it, I dont care!

04-06-07, 11:54 AM Okay lets see what I can do.

Some time ago there was a human necromancer named Parin. Parin killed, raped, pilliged whenever suited his needs. But he loved only one,a human female cleric of St. Cuthbert,Worna,his swarn enemy. One night he snuck into her camp and Charmed her. A child came of this union, P'wn. His parents soon killed each other. Each having no family her church took the baby in but the high priest there was really old and had trouble remebering names so he just became Ha'yu. For seven years they tried every thing they could to teach this kid the clerics path but he just didn't have it in him.

So one day while skipping out on defensive spell class he was knocked over by a young gnome squire named Gimble. Gimble apologized for running in to him and showed Ha'yu to where the knights trained. Ha'yu was immediatly enamored with the ways of the knight. Any chance he could he would go down there and watch the knights train. At night he would spirit away down there and train by himself. One day a knight named Sir Viet Stoneshield caught him and told him to defend himself. ha'yu dodged, weaved, and when he got hit he would get right back up, the kid had no quit in him. Sir Viet saw this and suggested to the clerics that Ha'yu become his new squire since his old squire gimble had just became a knight.

The clerics thought about this and since he was a crappy cleric they said yes. Now ha'yu was no name for a knight so Viet started calling him Zook after the uncle that taught him the ways of the knight. Zook trained for 13 more years to be a knight. At the age of twenty Viet felt Zook was strong enough to fight for himself so he gave him the mithral towershield givin to him by his uncle and the clerics gave him a longsword. So he went. Out into the world to defend the word of law.
