	To claim a place in the game, choose a kit, a race, a gender, name your character and give me at least a paragraph of background for a generic humanocentric medieval setting. Are you one of the traveling players? A musician? Are you connected to the royal family or townspeople in some way? Have you come to the fair to enjoy yourself? Do you care only about the tournament? Are you here to make money? A reputation? All of the above?
