Just because I know some players are intimidated by the thought of coming up with a start to a character, here's a specific position that's open for filling:
Lucinda Stormclaw (name can be changed)
Fortyish now, Lucinda has been plain and fat from a very young age, though the latter may well have been a testament to growing up as a scullery maid in her mother's footsteps. Well aware that men were looking to thinner, prettier girls as she began to grow up, Lucinda was surprised and even flattered to find her noble lord's advances directed her way.
As a vassal, she was obligated to yield, but as a girl who had drawn too little attention, she yielded with a willing heart, not expecting much. And found herself surprised again when the noble lord seemed to enjoy her company.
Now, Lucinda is a prominent cook in her own right, and can most often be found in the kitchens or out collecting cooking supplies. Once quiet and self-doubting, she has become a more confident personality over time as her lord continued his attentions and her own cooking skills began to be acknowledge by the keep in general.
Besides her growing confidence, Lucinda has gained two children from the Count, a girl and a boy.
If you're interested in the character, and want to bring in one or two players to do the children, they would be aged somewhere between five years and 20 years. I'm open to negotiation on the exact details of them, and of the character above.
