Bio:
Oleg is the second son of Vladmir, head of one of the most important families in the forsaken icy kingdom of the blue continent (the equivalent of an arctic continent). His father oversees one of the biggest iron mining operations in the realm and is a very important and powerful man. His eldest brother, Alexander likes the family business and is very heir apparent. Oleg OTOH is a tactless brute who disappoints his father since his birth, which caused the death of his mother.
When the king requested all higher nobles to send one son to serve at the kings court as a knight, Vladmir chose to send Oleg. He got there very young and was sent along with the other young nobles into a elite training regimen under the best teachers money could buy, for this is a very violent land. Despite his elite training, Oleg was a mediocre soldier, and ill suited to the tasks involving life at court, most of his duties were as a glorified bodyguard. In his offtime, he and some friends pursued some rumors about a mysterious figure stealing corpses from the graveyard and engaged in a melle with a strange old man that stabbed Oleg in the eye. Were it not for his friends he might have died, alas they drove the elder man away and took Oleg to the king’s mage, where he was tended properly and managed to retain his eye, despite the scar. He discovered that the thing they fought against was a human servant of vampires which forever made their threat very clear to Oleg. Overtime he became good friends with the mage’s apprentice and absorbed a lot of knowledge from him, even learning the elven language.
After the training was completed, the more local knights were retained to become the king’s bodyguards and the ones from more distant places were sent back home as bannerman who should be ready to be called in case the king needs it, as well as advancing the kings agenda (such as protecting the land, expanding the borders, fortifying towns, training local militias, etc).
Oleg due to his experiences with vampires felt they were the biggest threat and dedicated a big part of his time into convincing his father of it. One day wandering the town after dark he saw a mysterious figure, ambushed it and killed it. Sadly it was an innocent man (well, he was guilty of something, according to Oleg’s father), who was working for Oleg’s elder brother. The whole thing turned into a family drama, and eventually Oleg’s father suggested him that he might better serve the king as a Knight errand, away from his lands.
And so Oleg’s journey began.

Techniques
We use a house rule where anyone can attempt a sacrificial parry at -9 to parry, and buy that up as a hard technique up to no penalty for 10 pts. I did just that.
sacrificial parry 10
We also allow players to buy up the penalty for using 1h weapons with 2h skills as a hard technique. I spent 5 points to be able to use 1h swords with the same skill I have for 2h swords without a penalty.
