LET'S PLAY

THE SPIRIT ENGINE II

So! New LP. The Spirit Engine II is an indie RPG created entirely by a guy named Mark. I'll be playing though in normal LP style, transcribing the full script because the writing is awesome!

But I can't start yet, because I do not know who will be in my party. That's where you come in!

When the game starts, you get to pick three characters out of a pool of nine. In reality, it's more like three pools of three - there are three character 'slots', and each one has three characters who can be chosen to fill the slot. I will create a poll for each slot, then use the votes to form my party! I won't just be choosing the most popular for each slot, though - my condition is that my party will contain one Knight, one Musketeer, and one Priest.

Bios!


Kaltos Sturn - Mercenary, Age 31
Class: Knight
Falling into the underworld of organized crime at a young age, only collusion, corruption and undeserved good fortune have kept Kaltos from a significant period behind bars. Now he has turned his back on the life that cost him his marriage and is trying to make ends meet as a sword for hire; an increasingly difficult prospect in a world reigned by gunpowder.


Ionae - Unemployed, Age Unrecorded
Class: Musketeer
Ionaer appears to be a loner by choice, traveling the quiet back roads of Western Lereftain late at night and conversing only when absolutely necessary. This is perhaps for the best - arrogant, selfish, neurotic and oddly unfamiliar with local Lereftese custom, Ionae makes poor company at the best of times. Her tattered cloak hides a pair of folorn, moulting brown wings from curious eyes.


Mericious Johann Weiss - Priest, Age 47
Class: Priest
Mericious has spent most of his uneventful life as a priest deep in study, until the clergy of the great library at Prestin decided that a reassignment would do him and everyone else there a world of good. There's somewhere that he really ought to be right now, but, in no hurry to arrive into his new life, Mericious has wandered somewhat astray.

Ferwin Drake Talbot III - Knight-in-Training, Age 23
Class: Knight
The only son of Eamon and Aetlia Talbot, and heir to the Talbot estate, Ferwin is a cheerful and enthusiastic young man struggling with the weight of his parents' expectations. Betrothed to Elene Forscythe and training hard for the knighthood that three previous generations of Talbots have failed to achieve, Ferwin secretly dreams of a career elsewhere and a life spent with his sweetheart Marie, the waitress to whom he writes daily.


Charlotte Kaye - Self-Employed, Age 27
Class: Musketeer
Drifting from one noisy tavern to another, Charlotte's brash and sunny disposition hides a deep longing for an entirely different life, one of certainty and commitment that she seems unable to find. She appears to be comfortably well off despite having no apparent source of income, and for some reason chooses to avoid setting foot in larger towns and cities.


PyanPau Sai - Permitted Visitor, Age 25
Class: Priest
A wide-eyed visitor from the tiny neighbouring state of Sakeida, PyanPau had been granted temporary access to Lereftain to take part in his Journey, the rite of passage that all Sakeidan priests must undertake before gaining their title. PyanPau's charming demeanour and disarming curiosity have served him well in his travels across a country highly suspicious of foreigners.

Denever Halterbrooke - Retired Guardsman, Age 76
Class: Knight
An elderly and distinguished member of the now-defunct Dragon Guard, Denever retired fourteen years ago. But with know family to go home and no other professional skills, he has found himself unable to put down his sword and abandon the only life he has ever known. Relying on his state pension and the kindness of strangers, Denever has been walking the back roads of Lereftain and helping those who cannot help themselves, trying to outrun and outfight his advancing age.


Grace Winters - Retired Army Officer, Age 51
Class: Musketeer
Wife of local councilor Jeremiah Winters and mother of three, Grace is widely known across Lereftain as the first female officer to rise to the rank of General. As one of the three senior commanders directing the military response to the Amaran uprising of 726, she is reviled in Amara itself and hailed as a hero in the rest of the union. Troubled by her role in the conflict, Grace later resigned and now spends her time supporting her husband and lecturing on security matters in various academic institutions.


Enshadu Ensekku - Unemployed, Age Uncrecorded
Class: Priest
Amiable, educated, intelligent and well trained as a priest, Enshadu nevertheless makes for unsettling company. He sometimes appears nervous and conflicted and refuses to remove his blank mask or bandages. Whatever is troubling him, he remains an indispensable companion.


The poll ends Sunday night! CHOOOOSE
