Sir Josef Peyton


( MEANT DIRECTLY FOR MEDIEVAL/FANTASY ROLE-PLAYS. )

[ A new scroll is being added in the castle's archives. Curious, you roll it open and read it's contents to see who is good enough to be added in London's castle. ]

[ In elegant writing, you read the words in your head about a knight named Josef Peyton. ]

Josef Peyton grew up in a small village in Great Britain, one which he would always remember for the rest of his life. After his mother gave birth to him, there was celebration at first until his mother died from the blood loss of delivering a child into the world. His father was struck with vast grief, but he remained there for his son and treated him as best he could. His father worked as a woodsman rather than some farmer, and he wasn't quite poor like most, but he was no noble. He had served in the military and fought against William Wallas at the Battle of Falkirk, which Great Britain was victorious, and served furthermore in the Hundred Years' War until he retired. By the time he retired, Josef was already half a man as he was in his teenager years.

As a child, while his father was away, Josef was rather an adventurous child. He didn't wish to stay in one spot, and he had visited the local blacksmith who acted like more a real father should. It was there that Josef discovered his fascination for blades, and as Josef grew older and received tutoring, the blacksmith Geoffrey even taught Josef how use to a sword. With Geoffrey's training of how to wield a sword, it wasn't long until he decided what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to be a knight just like his father, protecting His Majesty and killing traitors.

When Josef became eighteen, and his father had been home for at least two years, his life changed and thus this village will always be remembered. He was talking with Geoffrey, discussing about how he wanted to be a knight for Great Britain, when screams were heard outside. The village came under attack from ruthless vikings who hoped to gain something from plundering Josef's hometown, and he stood with his father, Geoffrey, and any other militia that raised their weapons and resisted the attack. Despite their efforts, and Josef's excellent swordsmanship, the vikings overran the village and he was forced to flee by the command of his father. As he ran off, Josef turned back to see a sword shoved through his father's chest, and his heart had been forever scarred by the memory. Though his father wasn't the greatest, Josef knew his father had done everything he could for him and he loved him no matter what.

After the pillage of his hometown, Great Britain had a small army sent to search the remains of the village in which they found Josef hiding in the forest. With nowhere to go, he asked if he could join them back to the capital, which they agreed. He traveled with them to the capital, and enlisted in the army. For five years now, Josef had been in the ranks of His Majesty's army, keeping a blade close to him. He had seen action in the Hundred Years' War, but he is now more in the "back-up" ranks of the military. Now, he guards London with other soldiers, waiting for his chance to fight once again and redeem the deaths of his only family.

Josef is now twenty three years of age, and bisexual. However, he leans more toward men due to his submissive nature. He is quite a generally kind, caring, and passionate person, but he can have a dark side like every living thing in the universe. He is a highly skilled swordsman, and usually is seen in his armor and carrying his steel longsword on him at all times. Furthermore, he is single and not precisely looking, but he doesn't know what can happen. For now, he guards London with his blade, waiting for his next step into battle unless somebody he loves comes into his life.

[ After reading the scroll, you roll it back up and put it where it belongs. ]

[ You don't know what makes Sir Josef so important, but you know there must be some reason. One day, you hope to find out. For now, you have to get through the rest of your daily job at the archives - which includes writing one hundred pages. ]
