Revision as of 16:09, 22 April 2008
Living Characters
The Grindles have a long and interesting history, but sadly have such poor memories that no-one now has much of a clue what that history involves. But being a noble family, they assume it to involve dragons, heroics, and the conquering of tea plantations. Their history is known no further back than Nether and Hope Grindle, a kind and wealthy couple from many years ago.
Hopefully over time, the family will be able to write down their triumphs and failures for future Grindles to read and forget. Sadly, they are more likely to spend it fighting for their lands, and raiding tea and biscuits from the local peasants through charm, cunning and swordsmanship.
Crip Grindle
Crip Grindle is the eldest currently touring the Battlemaster lands. He started his career on Atamara, in Elroth, under Falasan rule, where he was quick to enter battle against Eston. He was later appointed as Royal Treasurer of Falasan, and commands high-quality infantry in battle. Fair-minded and responsible, he can usually be relied on to lead his men well, and is a keen follower of the Way of the Warrior Saints. He, and his men particularly, are fond of a game of Skat each evening after supper.
Baz Grindle
Baz Grindle is the elder brother of Tidey and Cal. After some time in the wilderness, where he gained respect for fighting against monsters, he came to Arcachon to look after his mother, and became involved in battle and looting against Sartainia straight away. He has a similar personality to Cal, but is slightly more wild and slightly less rude.
Hather Grindle
Hather Grindle is the father of Dor Grindle; uncle of Crip, Cal, Baz and Tidey. He lived for many years in Elroth, but discovered a strange man - some later suggested he might have been a sage - who sold him a book. The book explained about the Bloodstars of Sanguis Astroism. He was fascinated by it, and travelled to Dwilight, to Morek, to discover more. In Morek, he discovered the Seep-ko-ba, a tribe in Taishan, who he befriended and now commands in battle.
Tidey Grindle
Barely deserves a mention here. Cal's sister, who spent much of her youth in petty crime and was shunned by her family, is now away from home trying to regain some of her nobility. On a good day, you can catch a glimpse of her in Itorunt. On a better day, you can't. She fought for the Cursed Helm in Itorunt, as well as having the Ancient Shield of the Dragonslayer and the Band of Doom made for her by a sage.
Past Characters
Dor Grindle - deleted Jan 08 (Dor and Cal both deleted with the aim of replacing with just one character on Dwilight instead)
Dor, first cousin of Crip, was also on Atamara, having left Suville after the demise of Abington, to join Minas Ithil. After a couple of feeble attempts early in his career to lead troops into battle, most of which involved him getting there too late and doing no good, he has turned his hand to some more subtle work, spending time with papers and analysis. Although weak in battle, his amiable nature and logical mind made him useful behind the scenes. He was a bureaucrat of fairly respectable quality, but has now retired, and mostly sits about enjoying the countryside.
Cal Grindle - deleted Jan 08 (Dor and Cal both deleted with the aim of replacing with just one character on Dwilight instead)
Cal, second cousin to Crip and Dor, started his career as the grouchy inhabitant of the realm of Perdan, a Knight of Perdan Mines. He tended to think that everything should be Perdan His, and longed to show how much better he was than Crip and Dor. He left Perdan to seek fame as a hero in Old Rancagua, where he slipped into alcoholism and has not been heard of since. He has a headstrong streak, probably from his domineering grandmother, Tot, which can get him in trouble, but he will usually make a good attempt to fight his way out of it. Unlike his older siblings, he has avoided capture for petty crimes in his youth, and retains the respect that his noble ancestry deserves.

RP Archive
This archive contains most major RPs by Grindle characters. It generally omits counter-RPs by other characters unless crucial to the understanding of the text. It also omits anything from before October 2007, so the first four months of RP are lost and forgotten.
