Alec app
Character Name: Alec í Amasa of Kerry
Age: Physically 14-15 (actually 17)
Series: Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series
Canon: The Nightrunner series is a story of intrigue, of warfare, of love and loss, and of hot gay elven sex. In it, Alec of Kerry had been a humble and poor country boy until he was mistaken for a spy and rescued by the dashing thief and actual spy, Seregil. Alec soon follows in Seregil's footsteps as a 'nightrunner', though he never quite loses his honest face or tendency to blush at everything.
Alec has learned to wear many masks and to have many identities, with his most common role being that of an (imaginary) nobleman's son who is ward to Seregil. But no matter how many roles he plays, the one thing he can't get away from by pretending to be someone or something else is his tendency to be rape-bait. Everyone wants to badtouch Alec. Considering he's trying to save the world from an evil necromancer's army of undead, you'd think it wouldn't come up that often. But no, whether it's a scullery maid hiking up her skirt, soldiers looking for some sport, or a hideous undead witch straddling him, none of them can keep their hands, mouths, or dessicated tongues off the pretty underage half-aurënfaie boy. (Did I mention he's half-fairy? He's half-fairy.) Still, Alec copes fairly well, since saving the world is srs bizness, and he's a pretty trusty shot with a bow when anything gets too insistent.
Though he may have lingering undead issues. Maybe.
Note: Alec is apped from after Stalking Darkness but before Traitor's Moon.
Sample App:
Ah... Good evening! I am Sir Alec í Gareth of Ivywell. I, alongside my lord Seregil, have been traveling, and we stumbled upon this place quite by accident. You see, we had not come across an inn in quite some time, and I saw a sign that seemed to point the way to food. Being hungry as we were, I suggested we follow it. Unfortunately, it seems we were led astray, as I haven't seen any chicken this way at all. In fact, the only animals I've seen so far are large purple apes, and they certainly don't look edible, however much they seem to be hand-signing that they'd like me to put them in my mouth. I'd rather have some normal food, not their... meat. If any is available, I mean.
But while I'm sure we very much appreciate your animals' generosity, and I truly don't want to criticize, I do wonder if you know you've got a bit of a ... problem? In this place. I mean, the living dead aren't exactly a... a tourist feature. Certainly, they've been seeming very hospitable -- I think they're inviting us for dinner, but I don't think I'd want what they're serving. And they're offering us a change of clothing, but to do so by taking the clothes off our backs is just a little... uncomfortable. And yes, it's been a very long trip so far, but no, I don't want to come up to bed. Stop that! Don't touch that! I'll kill you!
--O-oh, please excuse my vehemence. The point I'm trying to make, though, is that necromancy is very bad. I know that these don't seem to be terribly dangerous creatures; I've already seen that they're easy to out-walk, and you can stab them and shoot them over and over, and they can barely do a thing to stop it! But they're still abominations, and not all undead are this simple to deal with. There are some much, much worse. Er-- that is to say, there's so many around that I have to wonder if people realize just how terrible the undead can be. Please, just say no to necromancy.
Unless 'no' isn't right for the local language; that might explain some of the issues with the gorillas -- um, let's see here, if this is right... Well, it's worth a try:
Please, if you value your life and your chastity, just say iyaan, dame to necromancy.
