Hi All,

Today I am going to be discussing one of my main characters. His name is Fabern Idai. He will eventually join the castle brotherhood. He is smart, but very quiet he does not speak much and he is gay.

Another central character Eura Buraugh falls in love with fabern not realiseing he is gay. He pretends to be harsh and have no interest in her to try to cover up the fact he is gay. This hurts Eura deeply and she never falls in love again.

Fabern is a strategist. As the plot develops he becomes in charge of the rebels forces. He plays a central role and he will help me develop the themes of sexuality and destiny.

Faberns background: Fabern originates from a middle class trading family. He was tested when the travelling sith (person from freelancing brotherhood who tests for magic in people who have come of age – 16) tested him and found the ability in him. When one joins a brotherhood all past relationships and families etc. are all cut. Fabern gets on very well in the castle and as he is such a good strategist (very good at chess … unbeatable) he leads the castle brotherhoods armies against rebels, outlaws etc. He advances through the ranks very quickly until he is at sertain rank (one below those who attend minor council). He proves a threat to existing people in power and so he does not advance any further. This causes a tight faction within the castle that support Fabern and are loyal to Fabern and this faction grows. Eventually when the time comes he will advance to become Obdoch (Commander in Chief).

Once again I implore you to comment as I wish to hear your thoughts and ideas. Also please take part in the poll.
