Character's Age He lost count several centuries ago.

Character's Place in Hierarchy Sorceror, or wizard. Either term in inprecise.

Character's Age 40...ish

Equipment Black greatsword, Custom ovoid shield (see pic if I ever manage to get Brickshelf to upload my stuff), drk gry Euro armour, dark grey helmet with black visor and red plume.
Other Information Scarcely anyone knows precisely where Sir Dractor comes from. Which is how he planned it. Sir Dractor is rarely seen away from the Old Man, and would seem to be his protector, were it not for the fact that he can take care of himself quite easily. Sir Dractor has no horse, in spite of knightly appearance. His armour, while cumbersome, is lighter than it appears, thanks, he claims, to the superiority of the forger.
Character's Looks: Taller than most, broad in the shoulders. Has a black mustace and hair.
Class Hero, main character

Class Neutral, supporting character
Sorry about the HUGE post, everyone, but I have been cruising through this forum for the last couple days, and I decided to take the plunge. (I was actually going to way until my son of a ShiftyBrick, Megabloks Brickshelf folder allowed me to upload, but that could take till next year, so I decided to just get on with it.) I doubt if I'll make more charactrs than these. Maybe some supporting or minor ones.
I'll start posting as soon as Nathan gives me the okay.
! One last thing though- you must be part of an official Lego faction. Only the nations on the map are available, no Dark Lord kingdoms such. Perhaps your Dark Lord is ruler of the Fright Knights, and your Old Man and Dractor Holy Paladins of the Kaus Kausinium? This certainly isn't my call, but jsut making a friendly suggestion 
.
Excellent characters and welcome Formendacil! Coincidentally, I was just going to ask you to join!
