Cool, I'm thinking about making it a revenge killing by humans in a backwater town in vengeance of their relatives killed by half-giants in the Decade of Slaughter. Do you think that'd fit?

Could be revenge killings for a hunt? I believe humans are still hunted and exterminated in some areas by half-giants, dwarfs and the like, could be retaliation for that. As 20ish years in human terms for a medieval setting could be an entire generation worth.

(Pretty much) finalised character. Username: Brobot Character name: Lorne Dortmunder Age: 39 Race: Human (Nomad) Class: Knight Appearance: Personality: Bleak, Nihilistic, sardonic, detached. He shows a modicum of respect to those he sees as having earnt it, while generally looking down upon those he deems lesser, a bracket including much of humanity, which he deems weak for failing to defeat their opponents, and near every other race, to whom he bares a malign grudge. Background: Ever since his earliest memories, he had been a Nomad, a wanderer with no true place to call home, with no true calling in life. He was without purpose, without meaning, a decade late for the slaughter, but not for the rampant persecution of every man, woman and child that followed in its path, an unstoppable tide of zealous hate that would result in not only the death of his Mother, but that of every person he had come to know when his settlement, backwater and out of the way, was burnt to the ground by a group of Half-giants, eager for retribution. Indeed, his life was only saved when his Father, ever the survivor, carried his infant form to safety through the flames, carving down two bloodthirsty attackers with deft sweeps of his War-axe when they attempted to block his escape. For many days and nights they then travelled, stopping for food, shelter and trade wherever they could find sympathetic faces or folk who would accept humans. And so they continued on with this lifestyle for the next two decades, moving from place to place, his father's tales of war and death impacting greatly on the young Lorne, instilling him with both a great sense of honour at being human, and a burning dislike, often bordering on xenophobia, of any race that had pushed for genocide, the Half-Giants, Avianicans, Dwarves and Halflings. When finally his father passed away, his aged body finally broken under the stresses of age and travel, Lorne took up his armour, his Axe, and his title, putting on the mantle of self-proclaimed Knighthood, his years of hardship and persecution wearing him away into a cold, callous man, who still to this day seeks out a calling, a meaning to call his own.

Just wondering if this one is likely to go anywhere soon?

Just wondering if this one is likely to go anywhere soon? Not currently, Necromunda took my fancy and it has of course been very successful. I'm also considering simply taking this world and potentially novelising it, but it is fairly low on my list of novel ideas (you all know how much I love my sci-fi) so it's possible this will make a return one day.
