| Ralph Neville | 
Born in the year of 1364 AD from his father John Neville (died 1387) and his mother Maud Percy (died 1379), Ralph inherited his father's inheritance at the age of 23 upon his father's death. Neville's first military service was in Brittany under King Richard's II uncle, Thomas of Woodstock, who knighted him at Saint Omer in July 1380. On 14 November 1381 he and his cousin, Henry Hotspur Percy, were commissioned to preside over a duel between an Englishman and a Scot, and on 1 December 1383 he and his father were commissioned to receive from the Scots 24,000 marks for the ransom of King David. On 26 October 1385 he was appointed joint governor of Carlisle with Sir Thomas Clifford, and on 27 March 1386 was appointed, together with Clifford, joint Warden of the West March.
Neville married, Margaret Stafford, the eldest daughter of Hugh Stafford, 2nd earl of Stafford, and Philippa Beauchamp, the daughter of Thomas Beauvhamp, 11th earl of Warwick, by Katherine Mortimer, the daughter of Roger Mortimer, 1st earl of March. They have two children as of now but are planning to have lots more. As of now Neville is a staunch pro-royalist faction hoping to improve his positions for his support with the king.
+3 survival, +2 battle's, +1 personal combat.
Full Plate Armor (+20 hp, +8 Duels, +4 Survival, +5 post-battle condition rolls) - Covering oneself from head to toe in the best plate available brings significant advantages and drawbacks. While slightly hindering mobility, the wearer becomes a tank that is almost impervious to attacks. Favored by knights taking to the battlefield, knowing their main role in such an event will be to present the heaviest possible mass atop a horse to plough through enemy troops in a formation of massed heavy horse, this is a set of armor for surviving a major battle rather than a set for everyday wear or single combat. This set of armor costs 500£.
Hand-and-a-half Weapon (+4 Duels, +3 Survival), the most common name for large single-handed weapons, are typically used without shields but are lighter and thus more mobile than two-handed weapons, giving the user the ability to position themselves faster and exploit the situation with more agility, at the cost of reduced reach and less power than a two-handed weapons, but superior reach and power to a single handed weapon.

- Amiable: This character is a pleasant person who tries very hard to get along with everyone s/he meets. Indeed, perhaps too hard, at that...they also tend to excessively seek validation from others, and at worst can be described as clingy ticks. +1 to AI reaction rolls, -1 to duel rolls.
- Bloodthirsty: This character is hotheaded and loves to jump into fights, lethal or otherwise. This is not something others find endearing off the battlefield, though. +1 Battles, -1 to NPC reaction rolls.
