Is there some Vicar of Bray there too, where Brechlin is a man who serves Brechlin?

QuoteAnd this is law, I will maintain
Unto my Dying Day, Sir.
That whatsoever King may reign,
I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir!

The full song, with annotations.

I had some notions of fanfic with someone saying, "Nemo potest duobus dominis servire. Denis, you serve four. The king, the church, the Camberian Council, and your own ambition."

Oh, yes-- Bishop Brechlin serves himself, the Crown, and the Church. As Christian says-- "He can even say a  Mass; I've seen him do it."

And "The Vicar of Bray" is a wonderful song! Now you'll have me singing it all night! I have a tankard, so I just need the ale...

Something seemed different, but I like it!

I've made a few modifications to that character @Marc_du_Temple
Nothing major or earth shattering. Just making the bits stand out.

Oh boy, a Mearan traitor! This is going to be fun!!!

***CHEERS***
We have a new player.  Welcome to the Mayhem, Marc.

Player Name: Marc_du_Temple

Character Name: Bede Archer

Heritage: Human

Heritage Trait: Resistance

Additional Traits:

Sharpshooter
Vigilant
Sneaky

Hit Points: 6

Movement: 25 feet

Grit: 3

Weapon Proficiency: Ranged Weapons

Weapon Mastery: Bow

Character description:

Family Trade: Bowmen by trade. Last in sight on the field and first to fire. In the woods, they're never seen unless they wish it. At faires, they hustle archery when they aren't openly flaunting their trickery with projectiles.

Belief: Lay Christianity. Fears and respects the Deryni. Feigns indifference to politics after being on the losing side of the last uprising. Has a reverence for Deryni healers as blessed by God.

Simple background:
   
The earring is from a girl he was sweet on but lost during the uprising. What he doesn't know is that she's still alive.

The knife is his father's. He died in the war.

Bow made by his uncle. He lives.

Clothes are from two years ago.

Scars are from injuries received in the last battle of the last war, four years ago. He was bested by an enemy archer with a shot to his spleen. It became powerfully infected, causing pustules and abscesses all over his abdomen. These were treated in a convent where he sought sanctuary three years ago, by a Deryni nun. She implored him to give up his rebellious ways, but he felt as if he still has something to prove, and so he became the hireling and performer that he is today, at twenty going on twenty-one years of age.

Has spent most of the last four years vacillating between the Buffer States and working right under the noses of the Haldanes and Corwynns, although his family is originally from the lands of the rebels.

Thank you bynw.  I appreciate the answer.  I have incorporated that into our group information.

No. To avoid copywrite issues from the publisher of the game.
