James the Archer
Arms of James the Archer

Persona Overview

Name: James the Archer Pronouns: [he/him] Kingdom: Kingdom of Atlantia Local Group: Barony of Highland Foorde Time Period & Culture: English, early 15th century (Agincourt era) Primary Activity: Rapier Combat / Random Service / "Chillin' at events"

Persona Story

I portray an Englishman living in the early 15th century, a veteran of the Hundred Years’ War. Born in a small village in the Midlands, I found my path not in farming, but in the art of war. Like many of my peers, I answered the call to arms under King Henry V and took up service during the campaigns in France.

My time on the field culminated in the muddy fields near a small village called Agincourt, where fate favored the English. History will long remember we happy few, that carried the day. After the campaign, I forsook the serious study of the bow and continued to train with the sword, eventually focusing on the elegant and deadly art of the rapier.

Now, in the Current Middle Ages, I pursue fencing not as a mercenary but as a means to honor skill, discipline, and the spirit of chivalry. You’ll find me on the field at Pennsic, in the lists at Highland Foorde, and sharing stories under the shade when the fighting is done.

Arms
