== Character Description ==
Ser Briant is a young country knight.  Used to a time of peace and prosperity, Sir Briant has spent his youth and young adulthood in noble pursuits, riding the field and hunting the woods of his home county.  He has never visited court nor the city, and enjoys the wild places.  He is the typical country squire, and his rough edges are apparent.  Nonetheless he is a restless and dynamic young man, eager to experience life and constantly on the move.

== Commentary ==

Sir Briant was created using the basic character creation process in the 4th Edition Pendragon rules.  the intent is a basic character creation process that will allow a group of characters with similar backgrounds (Salisbury) to be created.  The process is simple, but I felt many of the traits and characteristics of a group of players using this method would be too similar.  I found it hard to find something unique and idiosynchratic about Sir Briant using these basic rules.  Mostly I think I prefer rolling the traits rather than assigning.
