Serial Character Idea – Noble Fighter

/ Ed Raby Sr / 1 Comment

Happy Thor’s Day!

For my serial on this blog, I have been following up on my idea of using Dungeons and Dragons with a solo system. I want to start with one character and have them work alone for a bit and then add other characters as the serial moves on. The choice of the first character is critical. I need the central catalyst character to be pivotal for the story and for the party’s cohesion. The idea I have had is a fighter but with an interesting backstory and position where adventuring would be something he needs to do. A fighter with a noble background seems the most likely. Fighters have a bad rap of being uninteresting to play you can overcome that by making their character interesting in other ways. In this case, I am creating the source of the party’s adventures. More details are forthcoming.

I still am debating on the name of the serial. I should have more time to work on this once my own place is solidified. I will have a lot more time when the basics of living are in place and more routine.

It should be noted this serial will be very adult for a lot of reasons. This is not written for YA but more for a mature audience. Call it a reaction to my fundamentalist prudish upbringing.

To-Do List: 2-1-23:

  1. World Building for my fantasy serial is more done but I need it put in the same
  2. Diet Plan – Need to get serious about the low salt and carb diet I need going into Spring – with my own pace this should be easier. – I am going with more of the idea of being carb-low and limiting salt intake. I am also looking at focusing on cooking things better as an area of personal growth.

To-Do List 2-2-23:

  1. The apartment is finalized – need to move in over the weekend if possible but when you are single time is all your own.
  2. List of things for the apartment I will need.

I remain.

“Exercise and Nutrition” – The Rabyd Skald

Happy Sol’s Day!

Exercise an Nutrition are a large part of my vision points. The issue here is to keep things real and have them be something that I can execute. Overall the vision is of a strong, leaned out body that has a good deal of endurance and overall health.

Exercise:

Stretching – Flexabilty is soemthing I place a daily importance on as it is the first thing I do after getting up and putting in my contacts so I can see. It also has the aspect of mentally and emotionally starting off stable and meditative leading into the time of looking at virtues and setting my sights on the goals for the day.

Weightlifiting – I have adjusted things a bit here, but it is really always a work in progress. Mostly, I am more of a bodybuilder for health reason so I don’t go too heavy but heavy enough on the last set to bring change. Four sets of 8-10 mostly with a simple split: Chest/Delts, Back/Traps, Biceps/Triceps/ Forearms, Legs. Because I work out at the gym, I go in with a rough idea of the exercises I am going to do but I remain flexable in case the equipment I need is being used by someone else. I know a lot of exercises, so its OK.

Walking – I do a lot of walking at work. That said, I think by doing an hour a day on my days off on top of that might be that little bit that makes things go slightly better. To walk constantly for an hour is a little different than what I do at work.

Nutrition:

Nutritionally, my plan is sitll up in the air. There are a few elements I want. Lower carbs, higher protien and an assortment of good fats. I tend toward the Paleo rather than the Keto end of the spectrum but I can see how elements of both are effective and useful. What I might do will be a hybrid of the two that fits my lifestyle and what works for me. Mostly right now, I just want to make weekly changes that get me to where I need to be. One step at a time in the right direction.

I need some lifestyle habits here that stick so doing what works and is enjoyable to me is important.

I remain,
