Michelle:
Northern Region, Thelamark. Michelle's character is a Northman, following the Odinic religion (specifically the Cult of Freya).
Her father was a Scop (a poet).

You have 60 points to distribute among your attributes as you see fit (follow the standard rules for this).
Stats are:
SIZe
STRength
DEXterioty
CONnstitution
APPearance

Michelle starts at age 15, unless she chooses to take additional experience.

Apply your cultural modifiers afterwards as follows:
Northman: +3 SIZ, -3 DEX, +3 STR

Starting Skills:
Awareness 4
Boating 0
Chirurgery 10
Compose 6
Courtesy 4
Dancing 3
Faerie Lore 2
First Aid 10
Flirting 3
Folk Lore 2
Gaming 2
Hawking 1
Heraldry 0
Hunting 2
Industry 5
Intrigue 3
Orate 6
Play (Harp) 3
Read (Runes) 1
Recognize 5
Religion 2
Romance 3
Singing 5
Stewardship 3
Swimming 3
Tourney 0

Battle 2
Horsemanship 1
Great Axe 0
Sword 0
Grapple 0
Dagger 2
Axe 0
Spear 1

Michelle can allocate 8 bonus points to any combination of skills above before proceeding to the next step.

Michelle gets 20 points for skills as she sees fit (maximum 15 for any one skill, can only increase skills where the skill is at least 1).

Equipment:
1 rouncy (Horse); cuirbouilli armor (6 points), spear or axe, shield, sword, dagger, clothing worth 120 d.
-or-
Dagger, Clothes worth 120d, and ?2 worth of goods.

Base Passions:
Loyalty (Lord): 15
Love (Family): 15
Hospitality: 19
Honor: 15
Hate (Saxons): roll 3d6

Starting traits:
Arbitrary +2
Cruel +1
Honest +2+1d3
Energetic +1
Valorous +1
Generous +1d3
Modest +1d3

You have 6 points to adjust traits as you see fit, but no trait can go beyond 19 through this.

For a follower of Freya, to get the religious bonus to Glory, the following traits must be 16 or better:
Freya: Lustful, Energetic, Generous, Honest, Proud. If you raise all those traits to 16 or better, you get +2 to your healing rate.

Rolls I need:

Starting Glory: Roll 6d6

1d20 for Family Characteristic - this is a trait your family is known for.

Luck: Roll 1d20 for Luck

Additional Belongings: Roll 1d20

I'll likely need more, and there's a roll that will depend on your appearance.

Family Characteristic: Your family is known to be surprisingly deductive. You get +5 intrigue.

For luck, you got a 20 so I need you to roll luck twice more. :)

For additional belongings, since you got a 20, I need you to roll twice more :)

OK, I saw the rolls.

Luck:
You have a Sumpter (Horse), and you own a part share of a ship. The ship share generates ?2d3-2 per year, but you have to either go to London or Oslo to claim it.

Additional Belongings:
?2

Ok, Michelle, here's the last bit of info for you.

You have an army of sorts, in that these are resources you might be able to call upon from time to time. There's a space on your sheet for this info, but it refers to knights and whatnot. Shoe-horn these into that sheet. Most of these would be relations, but they might be other Northmen who owe you some allegiance beyond blood relations.

Thralls: 58
Other Kinsmen: 17
Young Warriors: 4
Middle-Aged Warriors: 3

These are resources you might be able to call upon from time to time. They will likely / mostly have positions and duties with other lords, but are relations to you, so you might call upon them. They may be unavailable to you until you resolve whatever brought you to Logres, but we'll work that out later once we have a back story done. They might not come running every time you call - they have their own duties - but they might.

With Appearance 11, you get one distinguishing feature. Pick something. You are free to pick, but can roll if you need. The specifics below are suggestions for inspiration.

Result Feature Detail
1 Hair (very long, curly, red, crew cut, blond, excessively hairy, huge beard, prematurely gray, glossy, balding, a particular cut, etc.)

2 Body (slouched, barrel-chested, hunchback, fi nehaired, tall, thin, broad-shouldered, high-shouldered, very muscular, burly, squat, smooth skin, etc.)

3 Facial Expression (bright-eyed, proud, sneering, haughty, nice smile, hidden by beard, straight teeth, dour, cheerful, squint, piercing glance, etc.)

4 Speech (lisp, stutter, charming accent, basso, sharp, nasal, shrill, squeaky, musical, loud, soft, strong,
thick accent, etc.)

5 Facial Feature (patrician nose, scarred, darkly tanned, black eyes, bushy eyebrows, deep-set eyes, high
cheekbones, red and weather-beaten skin, braided beard, big ears, long moustache, small nose, facial blemishes, birthmark, etc.)

6 Limbs (short legs, bulging biceps, one arm longer than the other, rough hands, long nails, hairy arms and
hands, bow-legged, flabby, big feet, long fingers, etc.)

At App 10, you get a positive trait, but you can pick something negative if you want. :)

Very long, red, and curly hair in stark contrast to her golden haired sisters.

Also I think I'm going with drums.
