Ha! Really? I just smiled when I got in here and saw the password was still lance.

[The Smith]

Yeah Barret made me change it a couple times.

[Ellinda]

Other, you should join the Royces, lots of opportunity to chat and hang out, don't have to do much to stay in the swing. Besides, you know all the gossip already

[Ellinda]

Heh, Crake 2.0 joined the Royces. I think we were too nice for him so he ran away

Well here's the character I was hoping to go for - and yes, blatent Dunk rip-off.
But that's why I wanted to run it past the Smith because it's distinctly not aligned to any House. And I'm not happy with the name "Honeyholt" - will probably change it to a more 'villagey' sounding name if approved

7) Character Personal History: The son of a village blacksmith, Benfry was always more interested in stories of knights, maidens and castles rather than the more prosaic life of his father. At every opportunity he used to sneak out of the village with his friend Osmund, who was the son of the village wainwright, and play at fighting with sticks substituted for swords. As they grew older though, Osmund became more interested in the work of his father and also became the apprentice of Benfry’s father. As such he had less and less spare time to go and play truant with Benfry in the woods.
Benfry took to sneaking off on his own and imagined being a great knight as he played in the woods. One day he met an old tracker named Calwyn, whom he rather irritated by scaring off a deer he was hunting (he imagined it as the Black Knight and ran towards it with his sticksword). Calwyn soon took a liking to the young lad though and began to teach him the secrets of the forest, how to follow tracks, read spoor and stay downwind of the prey. This distracted Benfry for several years and he became quite good at sneaking around the forest unseen and unheard. However, Benfry’s first love remained being a knight and one day, an old hedge knight stayed over in the village tavern and Benfry followed him around in adulation, pestering him with stories. Eventually he pestered his father and the knight enough to allow him to squire for him and spent the next few years squiring for him as the hedge knight went from one low key service to the other.
The old knight eventually died after a brief illness and was buried by Benfry who tried to remember some of the septon’s words as he committed the old man to the earth. He took up his arms and horse and became “Ser” Benfry Smith of Honeyholt. He has recently returned to his home village.

8) Character Physical Description: Benfry is tall but skinny and still to grow into his full height. He has light brown untidy hair and has a light sprinkling of freckles. Osmund is shorter but wider across the shoulders and is well muscled due to his profession. Osmund has the beginnings of a moustache which he thinks makes him look distinguished.

9) Character Reputation: Neither has any wider recognition beyond Honeyholt.
