Design Your Own Character and Persona!
Will it be peasant, middle class or noble? Military service or nobility comes with the exciting faire
experiences that come from joining guild re-enactment activities.
- Start your adventure with deciding your family lineage.
- Research your own family's lineage to find a possible connection to the time you want to portray or be creative and create
a new persona.
- Find your family's name, and names of family members you can write about or talk about if asked. Which could
be anything from snotty english peasants to the most wealthy and well to do people of the time. That's just the beginning!
- Then you yourself have to come up with your own personal history. Include how you fit into this time in history.
That's to say, were you a rude raggamuffin like a pirate or a theif on a quest? Were you as proud a family as any
noble of that time, or a merchant or a craftsman? Were you a mercenary or sword for hire wandering the land looking for
your next pay day or notch for your scabbard?
- Where did you grow up?
- Were you trained in the arts? Which arts ?
Read the following steps to begin the application process. Then the adventure begins!!
