For Honor: (idea For Char With Small Family History)

Submitted 6 years ago

Hello, my name is Jake Tinsley and I have an interesting story from my own family history.

My families come from ireland and scotland, however this story comes from ireland (as told by my father), there was an ancestor if mine called Lord Tinsley who began life as a fisherman. however as he was making his morning commute to the river, he happened upon an english noble getting robbed,(according to father he couldnt tell it was a noble) not one to stand by when someone was in trouble, he used his fisherman's gaff to beat the assailent into submission.

Instead of killing my ancestor as was his right as a noble, he knighted him and gave him land. But instead of hiring mercenaries to protect it like most land holders, he and his two sons took up knight training, armor and swords and defended it themselves.

Though my family name was never in any cultural spotlight especially, my ancestor earned many accolades for further valor, including the title of cannon puncher for his incredibly odd battle strategem of directly rushing the enemy artillery during a battle and FLIPPING the cannons.

Of course this is my father we're talking about so take these stories with a grain of salt.

Sounds cool tho right?
Im not asking much, but I wanted to submit an idea for a new character.

The Lord.
He could be heavy and i want him to wield a large greatsword like the Highlander (to reflect his mixed heritage)
