Talk:Eirlys Character Sheet

From Ars Magica

I wanted to play a Diedne/Merinita of strong fey heritage, but I was at a loss as to what to choose. Sidhe has been highly overused in games I've played, so that wasn't an option. Undine was interesting, but most people can't swim in the 13th century, so it would only bring more suspicion on the character than there would be already. Goblin is cool, but I can't see giving a positive communication to one. Duarough would also be interesting, but I wasn't intending to play a mage focused on making magic items, and a dwarf who doesn't make stuff would be rather lame. That left satyr. Now, I'm not all that fond of the idea of playing a slutty character, but I figure some obnoxious come-on lines here and there might be funny.

I'd very much like to work towards a familiar early-on. I'm thinking either a polecat (non-domesticated ferret) or a stoat. Both are semi-aquatic mustelids, comfortable in cold climates. The second of my two ferrets passed away this week, so I'm feeling their losses quite keenly; mostly I'm missing the first one, Sano, who passed away in November. In my imagination, at least, Sano can live forever.
