I'm new here and I have a character I've been wanting to play and explore for a long time. I'm looking for a group or even just one DM with which to do a PBP roleplay. I was hoping this game would be grittier, not in the sense of "Lots of blood! YEAH!" but in the sense of showing a bit of what day to day life is like for the downtrodden and the peasantry. I was a history major in college, so I have a lot of historical facts that I can throw in to help make the game feel more real.
Now, as for my character, I'm going to go ahead and share his backstory as maybe it will give those who read this some ideas.
Fulk's Backstory:
I was born the son of a whore in a big city. Growing up like that meant I got into a lot of fights as a child, especially after my little sister was born. I ran with street gangs for protection. When I was fifteen, plague swept through our city, and my mother died. So, I moved to a small town in the country where I could take care of her. I found work wherever I could, usually manual labor, and tried to forget my violent past. My sister grew up and married a traveling merchant. I was happy that she got out of that little hovel we called a home, until she came back one night, two years later, covered in bruises. It didn't take me long to figure out who'd done this to her: her rotten husband. When he came to "collect her," I was so furious that I bashed him over the head, killing him in one blow. I've been on the run ever since.
