You wake up in a strange bed, in a strange room, in a strange city...

You don't know how you got here, why you're here or where you are...

You stir from the bed, looking through what you assume are your belongings. From the meagre fare on offer you discover that you are...


A Condottiere: a hard-bitten mercenary, veteran of a great many campaigns. You are well-respected, well known and have superb equipment and above average skills.

A Merchant: a deal-maker, a wheeler-dealer who is regarded with awe by your fellow merchants for your negotiation and trading skills. You have a lot of disposable cash to start with but you aren't known for your abilities in the field.

A Barbarian: a warrior, a man drawn to the sword and a man who can do anything with it. You have insane physical abilities, as if granted by the gods themselves. You may not be well regarded by those of so-called civilised nations but you are a new Hercules, an Achilles, armed with a legendary weapon and your own strength and agility, you are a deadly threat.

An Archer: you know the bow. It speaks to you. You see where arrows will land before they are fired, you know which wood is best and what glue will dissolve in the rain and which will remain sturdy, keeping your weapon in tact. You have a warbow that is unequalled in most of the world and the stats to use it. You have little else to get you through the world, but you know that when needed your skills will not fail you.

A Sergeant-at-Arms: part of a famous unit of men, you avenged the death of your master and made your way elsewhere in the world. You have good equipment and men to fight with you but little money and less food. As a man who has experience, both in battle and in serving noble men, your 'betters' like and respect you. You are also known as a man who can turn untrained farmers and peasants into an efficient killing machine.

A Brigand: Little more than a common bandit, you command your wits, some fellow scum and little else. You have decent stats and mediocre equipment but those with power regard you poorly and would rather not associate with you.
 
((As a note, I'm running this in two regions and will update both threads at roughly the same time. Total votes were Archer 3, Merchant 1, Condottiere 1, Brigand 1))

You are an Archer. Fast and nimble, with a good bow and a keen eye, you are deadly on the battlefield.

Finishing rooting through your belongings, you take stock of yourself, mind clearing as you consider your strengths and weaknesses...

You are shaken from your revere by a small cough. You turn quickly, picking up a wooden cup from the table in front of you to use a possible weapon. The man standing before you takes several steps back, looking nervous.

"I-i-i-i see tha-that you're awake." He stutters, taking a moment to compose himself. "I am one of the merchants here. Your bags and clothes aren't familiar. Who are you?"

You take some time to think. Archer. Soldier. Adventurer? Caravan leader? Ruler of Calradia? Probably not the last one. You realise this merchant is waiting for your reply. You turn to him say...

"My name is..."


What is your name?
