The King has been kidnapped by wizards! Are you a chivalrous enough nobleman to rescue him?

Spoiler: Application Template. True Knights only! (click to show/hide)

NAME/TITLE: What is yon knightly name and knightly title?
CREST: What is the crest of yon knight? Every knight has to have his crest somewhere on his armaments. 'tis tradition.
DESCRIPTION: Describe the personality and appearance of yon knight. Though your rugged looks may be hidden by armor most of the time, anyway. Or your beauty, if you are a Lady Knight.
BACKSTORY: What noble deeds has yon knight committed in their life? And what not-quite-as-noble deeds? And what deeds he or she'd really just rather have the annals forget about?
ARMAMENTS: What weaponry, shields and other assorted tools does yon knight use? The best of knights are prepared for every situation, but if you carry too much the weight may slow you down!
ARMOR: What armor does yon knight wear? The armor a knight dons is like a second skin, the very identity of a knight, and plate armor is definitely neither the only nor the strictly best choice. Please state if the armor you're wearing can be classed as Light, Medium or Heavy armor. (Light is anything without good amounts of metal. Medium is on the level of chain mail with a bit of plating. Heavy is full plate. Weight may matter.)
SKILLS: Does yon knight have any unique skills of note? Any knight worth his salt can wield his weaponry of choice with skill, but what is your true speciality? (Three skills max.)

This is not a replacement for any other RtD, just a lowish-effort something to screw around with... and maybe to get back into the hand of things with. Accepting around five noble knights. Survival not guaranteed!

NAME/TITLE: Athas Domhall the Mountain Knight
CREST: A white, large-horned caprine head figure in front view against a gray background.
DESCRIPTION:
Personality: Dour, focused and sturdy like a goat. Also kind of impish, enough to make people suspect all of his theme is a way to taunt his father and siblings.
Appearance: Young and unfortunately lacking a beard or goatee (hurr hurr), Athas is of average height and athletic build, with very curly, shoulder-length black hair and honey-colored eyes.
BACKSTORY: Born to a family that had already produced a fair number of remarkable knights in its short history, Athas was the youngest son of the patriarch. Trained to be a prim and proper knight in order to take honor to his house, he was taught how to ride, wear heavy armor and dispute the attention of the King as well court ladies during nobility balls.

Part of that precious training was tossed aside as the young knight grew far too attached to the sturdy and relentless nature of the caprines he always saw during his horseback travels and began taking inspiration in their best qualities. Of course, his father and the rest of his family were rather unamused.

He's at the verge of being disowned and was only sent to the King's rescue due to the fact the more able members of his household are already far from home in campaigns or royal missions. Although he's not considered too incompetent, the importance of the task and the dire consequences for failing were impressed upon him.
ARMAMENTS: Greatbow & quiver; Kite Shield with his crest; Warhammer (one-handed), with a four-pronged head and a back spike.
ARMOR: Light armor. Composed mostly of leather and cloth, with a few strips of steel over critical areas - such as over his chest - and a light bascinet with detachable black horns, like those of a ram, and an aventail added for head protection. His torso armor is trimmed with pure white mountain goat fur. He also has a hood and a featureless mask. Since the mask can hinder his field of vision, he usually keeps it stowed away.
SKILLS: Evasion; Escaping; (Mountain Goat-Style) Climbing.

Spoiler: MUH BAD SHEAT (click to show/hide)

NAME/TITLE: Albert, Lord of Thimble-upon-Knoll
CREST: A white two-legged alpaca on it's back legs rearing on a dark green background.
DESCRIPTION: He is about 70, with a huge beard down to his knees. His hair in the back is tied in a ponytail. He is missing an eye, which he covered in formaldehyde and glass and popped back in. He is kind of an asshole and enjoys insulting people.
BACKSTORY: Deeds: He murdered some guy who was cooking—mind you, he was probably cooking some witchy stuff. He also burned a bunch of political rivals at the stake.Crappy backstory: He was born to a minor noble family, with his father a somewhat acclaimed battlefield leader. Eventually, he became an officer in the army, but he was fired from that position when his soldiers failed to put down a peasant rebellion with equal numbers. He ran a trading company for years, and now seeks to redeem himself by rescuing the King.
ARMAMENTS: A glaive, a bottle filled with oil, flint-and-steel, cloths, and a parrying dagger.
ARMOR: Leather tunic with steel scales, leather boots, gauntlets, and pants with steel plates on them, and a steel barbute
SKILLS: Witch hunting, arson burning heretics.

Spoiler: Rogal the Raven (click to show/hide)

NAME/TITLE: Rogal the Raven
CREST: Red raven on a black background.
DESCRIPTION: Fair knight, slightly taller and broader than average. Quite young, but already scarred in countless battles, missing a right eye from a duel with his father. The remaining one is violet and daredevilish. Despite hardened looks, black-haired Rogal has merry personality and never shies from an opportunity to try and see the situation from a brighter side. Sadly, he isn't very popular person among knights, mainly due to the numerous pranks played in his younger years.
BACKSTORY (WIP): Rogal is infamous for his sharp tongue and irritating remarks. And notorious for killing four full-fledged knights in a single duel. One of them was his brother-in-law, other one - his father. And, while Rogal openly brags about former, the latter is a source of his eternal shame, despite the fact that nor he, nor his father recognized each other before the fatal blows were traded. Apparently, this was because of a severe darkness. Why would five chivalrous knights battle in the night? Who knows...
ARMAMENTS: Longsword and shield, as appropriate for the knight. Sturdy longbow and a quiver of arrows. Adds spear with a secondary shield when travels by horse.
ARMOR: Medium. Soft iron-tipped boots. Graves. Chainmail with plated chest and shoulders. Open helmet with a closable raven mask.
SKILLS: Tracking, Longbow, Singing

[Harry Baldman]

NAME/TITLE: Abu Zahir, Sheriff of the Sunken County
CREST: a black spiral set inside a white rhombus.
DESCRIPTION: with darting eyes and careful beard, old Abu Zahir is like a gnarled swamp birch, small yet hardy. He is significant in looks, more so in speech, for he is loud and easily heard across all of the Sunken County, and the pitch of his voice is most suited to causing great alarm in all men and women of the world. He knows no doubt and knows no fear, but only the solemn call of duty, and also the great dark chill of immense boredom suffusing his very being.
BACKSTORY: Abu Zahir, as Sheriff of the Sunken County, is tasked with two things - living there, which is a tall order even for a tricky man such as he, and turning away all unwary peasants and explorers, lest they sink much like the village that was his home. He is not a man of great deeds or significant chivalry, but he is famed for his dutiful execution of his duties, for he has been the gray ghost of the Sunken Country for nigh on fifteen years now, ever since the sinking of it happened and he knew no recourse but to escape and tell the king all about it. That was a different time, of course, before years of loneliness and isolation set in, broken only by occasional wanderers and adventurers with whom he needed to do battle to secure their turning away. Being one of the few knights with no real properties to defend (though Abu Zahir himself was not informed of this as being the rationale behind his nomination), he was the ideal fit for an adventure, as many of the other knights were far too fat and lordly to bother themselves with such things.
ARMAMENTS: an arbalest with bolts, several sealed metal containers of quicklime, a set of torches and a dagger.
ARMOR: the lightest of armors, milord, practically a padded set of clothes, really - Abu Zahir is very much perceptive, and not often a fighter in close quarters, and does not wear much armor, lest he sink in the sinkholes of the Sunken County.
SKILLS: intimidation (more of the ominous looks and dire warnings sort, but intimidation nevertheless), perception, wilderness survival.

Spoiler: Jase Bladeheart, The Steel Dragon (click to show/hide)

NAME/TITLE: Jase Bladeheart, The Steel Dragon
CREST: A dragon within a shield, with crossed blades in the background
DESCRIPTION: A tall, muscular man. His brown hair is kept short, with ragged edges as though cut by a blade. He has a strong chin covered by a short beard, although his beard also appears to have undergone grooming with a sword. His eyes are a light blue color. He bears a faded scar upon his left pectoral. He believes strongly in chivalry, protecting the weak and being polite and respectful to all, especially attractive women. His normal chivalry is maintained whenever he drinks, at least towards women. However, he drinks to excess and often becomes loud and incredibly cheerful.
BACKSTORY: Jase has taken part in many a tournament and battle, seeking to hone his fighting skills should he ever see war. Somewhat dissapointingly, his lord believed in isolationism and rarely sent out knights for any battle other than to defend his property. The Lord's holdings did not come under attack often, so most of the knights spent the time training and drinking. Jase earned his title after a night of heavy drinking when one of his fellow knights challenged him to a friendly bout of drunken sparring. Jase donned his armor and went outside. The fight went on for a bit before Jase received a blow to his stomach which caused him to belch. The high level of alcohol in his breath and close proximity to a torch set the belch aflame. The match was called a draw, and they retired foe the night, but the name stuck with him ever since. When the king was kidnapped, his lord sent him to earn prestige for the lord's house in the rescue attempt.
ARMAMENTS: Two fine steel long swords sheathed at his hips, a torch strapped by one of the swords, a pouch with rations of water and food along with a flint and steel. Also, a flask of strong alcohol strapped at his hip opposite the torch.
ARMOR: Heavy (Full Plate) armor stylized with dragon designs. The helm is designed to look like a dragon's head, and the pauldrons are designed like wings. The tips of the boots resemble claws. The entire suit of armor is etched with a scale pattern running across it.
SKILLS: Ambidexterity- He can wield a weapon with his left hand just as well as his right.
Two Weapons Fighting- He can multitasking sufficiently to fight with two weapons instead of a single weapon and a shiekd.
Drunken Fighting- Long nights of drunken sparring have allowed Jase to be as competent, or at least nearly as competent fighting under the influence of large amounts of alcohol as he is while sober. Thus comes in handy for utilizing his namesake "Dragon's Breath" technique

Spoiler: Lady Willhelm, the Boar Knight (click to show/hide)

NAME/TITLE: Clarity Willhelm, the Boar Knight
CREST: A rotund but fierce boar
DESCRIPTION: A beautiful, graceful lady with light blonde hair and blue eyes.
BACKSTORY: Lady Willhelm's greatest triumphs are also her greatest shames. She has the inexplicable quality of being drawn to boars in any and every situation; at first it was nothing to be concerned about, but as it kept happening and her reputation became inextricably tied to this less than graceful animal, she began to get desperate. Alas, no amount of seeking out unboarlike quests have thus far freed her; somehow, somewhere, pigs of some variety always wriggle their way into her path and reputation.
ARMAMENTS: A brutish warhammer especially designed to bludgeon oversized pigs into submission, a grappling chain ideal for latching onto the beasties, and a bit for riding them once boarded haha everyone but her finds this funny
ARMOR: Lady Willhelm reluctantly wears a fine set of Heavy armor trimmed with boarmane, complete with a tusked helm that makes her look brutish and fierce. She had a more graceful set, but...
SKILLS: Quite against her will, Lady Willhelm is proficient at Grappling, Animal Taming, and Tracking

NAME/TITLE: Sir Maximilian Honkhaus, Mighty Thrower of Pies
CREST: A big white face with a red, spherical nose and green hair.
DESCRIPTION: A plain faced knight who doesn't look particularly atractive or unatractive. Loves making jokes.
BACKSTORY: Maximilian is besides a knight, also a profesional court jester, and has entertained the King many times, as is family tradition. His greatest triumphs were when he performed at the king's latests birthday party and when he defeated the Mighty Ninja Assasins of Chimeria with his highly effective Pie Catapults.
ARMAMENTS: Pies, a small wooden sword and shield, highly ineffective against actual enemies but great at parties!

SKILLS: Maximilian is great at performing, as is traditional of Jester's, and many nights of cooking and throwing pies as part of his training have given him great skills in those areas.
