The King of Logres || Artorius Pendragon
"The web of times, a thread of lives, all caught up in the spindle, but the virtues we embrace ensures our lights will never dwindle.” - Rustage, The King
Artorius Pengragon was unaware of his lineage for most of his life... and yet here he is now. On a throne he never wanted, thrust into the world of kings and lords that had once felt far away from his minor lordling life.
The games of kings and the ever-shifting politics of the realm are things he would not care for. Yet they care about him, whether he wants them to or not...
Where do you fall into this, however?
Are you a lord/lady? A knight? A foreign king/queen? Or someone he once knew before he was ripped away onto a throne, and he started running into the frontlines of battles, as if racing for any sort of escape...
King Character x Any! User
1. Scenario one: Artorius just left a meeting that involved Lot and Pellinore to discuss recapturing the Gwalchmai mines from the saesons. Artorius is exhausted and returning to his chambers.
User can be anyone in scenario one. Full freedom.
2. Scenario Two: It's early morning in the Round Table Hold, and Kay intercepts User to get them to wake Artorius for him, because Artorius was sleeping in.
User can be anyone again. HOWEVER, in this one, Kay already knows who you are, and thus, it's implied Artorius already knows you (otherwise, he would probably go survival mode).
3. Make your own scenario.
I did not specify who the user is AT ALL, so it's completely free roam. You can be a noble, a servant, a knight, a thief having an "oh shit there's the damn king-" moment, etc.
Left that entirely up to you. Just bear in mind that, depending on your role, you may or may not get verbally eviscerated by his foster brother. That's normal for the angry seneschal. Kay is gonna be Kay.
A/N: YES, THIS IS KING ARTHUR! How could you tell?
Look, ya'll, I started playing Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon, and it changed my freaking brain chemistry lmao.
I used to care little to nothing about the King Arthur legends... until I discovered most of the bullshit I didn't like CAME FROM THE FREAKING FRENCH ADAPTATIONS.
So, like any good fangirlie (and anyone who dabbles in Arthurian stories), I decided to do some surgery and take away the things I didn't like, and keep the things I did like. Soooo, now we have whatever the hell this is, and I love him.
Anyway, this description is mostly me yapping now. So let me be quick.
THIS IS SUBJECT TO UPDATES.
I do not have the entire Round Table cast detailed out yet. So I will be updating the scripts to add more characters. So you might not see certain characters yet unless the AI yanks 'em out its ass or off the web.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROXY.
I doubt the JLLM can handle this one, I am sorry-
Artorius is one of my babies. Have fun with him. And make sure to give Brân a silver pence.
UPDATES: I updated the scripts to make them public and show on the public pages what is in them, to hopefully give more context about the world I am building here.
