Biography

Forged from the blistering heat of the deserts, strengthened by the bone numbing cold of the mountains, and tempered by the blood of his enemies Raven Dracul wandered the worlds of olde. Until finally coming to rest for a time in the lands of Mordengard. There he created his house and sent his people to learn of the world. A mere 7 years did he stay till the feel of the wander lust filled him once more and journeyed to a new land. Meeting the peoples of Tori-Mar and Avalon's Gate. And for a time struggling to build the lands of Ardath's Gate. But when at last the embers of his most recent lands cooled he found the path to his new home, lands known as Slaughter Creek. Here he learns and teaches as he can and begins his future striving for greater understanding.

My introduction to all of this

Started the game in 1993 after a couple of months reading the handbook. Spent many hours in those days running away from the better fighters. And after 3 years of playing a first level assassin (Don't ask) I finally accepted the rank of 6th level assassin. Mostly it was a great way for me to live out the fun paper games I had been playing since I was 13. And of course meet some really great people. Since then the lulls between active and inactive have all been filled with Amtgard in some way.

Standards And Conduct

Being an Assassin people often see only enough of them to decide they are evil and nothing more. But being a Dracul demands greater honor than just showing your victim how silly they were to turn away from you. The blood of the unjust are all that fuels my drive. I kill only with honor and justice. Though the blood lust of eternal life does create some problems for this high minded view.

Goals

Hey every one wants to be a Knight right? I'm just determined to do it with chainmail...lol

Well I had a goal for my knighthood by the end of reign 37, but I fell a bit short. This alone will encourage me to assault reign 38 with a renewed vigor and focus. I will earn my place at the knights circle, and show them what I can do.
