Name: Sir Marcus the Deliverer
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Text Color: #6666FF
Biography: In medieval times, travel was very rare among the lower classes, save for soldiers marching to war. Yet those soldiers still had messages for their families back at home, families they might not live to see again.
But there was hope for them, and its name was Sir Marcus the Deliverer. Marcus would ride onto battlefields in full armor, giving soldiers on both sides words of encouragement from home, and taking messages back in return.
So respected was Marcus that most battles paused while he did his work. Or perhaps it was feared. The stories say that only one soldier ever dared to interrupt Marcus' work and ended up fighting him. But the soldier's blade could not pierce the tightly linked chains of Marcus' armor at all, and Marcus knocked his opponent to the ground with one strike from his sword.
True or not, the story spread, and every soldier recognizes Marcus' armor on sight and stays out of his way.
Description: Marcus is a rather tall man, and his chain armor only makes him look more imposing. Despite this, he's quite gentle most of the time. He reserves his anger for those who interrupt his work. He gets especially upset if his armor is damaged.
He will also go to great lengths to deliver anything entrusted to him. Usually this is a letter, but he does handle packages at times.
Weapons and Abilities: Marcus has a sword, a suit of armor, a bag for holding letters, and a horse.
The sword is the most ordinary of these. There's really nothing particularly unusual about it, though few have seen Marcus draw it.
The bag is also fairly ordinary, but there are tales that it can hold thousands of messages, yet will always be as light as if it were empty. At the time of abduction, who can say how many letters were inside?
Nobody has dared ask Marcus if the horse has a name, though the stories go that it is the fastest horse in all the world, and will readily go wherever Marcus asks it. Rumors abound that the horse can even cross the tallest mountains or the deepest oceans.
The armor, however, is Marcus' most famous possession. Crafted from linked chains of metal rings, it provides incredible protection. None know who made it. The armor is so renowned that in some kingdoms, Marcus is known only as "the mail man".

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
