Not me ;) Assuming I'm still allowed to join.

Let me know if I need to change anything about her background. I was pretty bold with it, considering I don't really know what's going :p And she's the one at the bottom, not Ruby Tressidor.
Sorry Wings, but...there wasn't a battle to have Borkeau removed. In fact, he's still "in power" technically. So she wouldn't have lost her family in any dramatic fashion. Also, Borkeau didn't HAVE many advisors, he WAS the advisor. The actual ruler was Kalt Hammer ( a gentleman who was unlikely to have a complicated system of rule)

Constrained to his bed and too weary to even speak, Borkeau could only cough and sputter as his advisors warned him of the oncoming tide.

Then, suddenly, Talaveral struck. Passing out a large number of swords and bows to the growing mass of people around him, he ordered an attack on the city hall. There was nothing the Brute Squad could do but protect Borkeau and remove him from the Hall for his own safety.
That's what I meant. Not an actual battle, but when they were overthrown. I will change it to be more clear And I can change her father's title to just an advisor. Also, I can change the rulers around. Is that okay?

Not...exactly. I mean, the Brutes are experts, they personally defended Ember from an army of wizards and elves, I'm willing to bet that they would have quenched any thing that looked like a rebellion so fast you wouldn't have time to draw a pitchfork.

The whole Ember's coup story is totally bloodless, and the new ruler is there completely legally, chosen by the people, and accepted by the large middle class. That's my issue with it, because it gives the impression of a struggle, if any thing Borkeau's group are the "bad guys" in this situation.

Haha. Okay. I read everything I could, Star explained everything she could, MD explained everything he could...and I still crapped up her bio :doh: I'll erase and start thinking again.
Well it was my story, and I can't blame them to not get the bloodless revolution. They weren't in the room for that.

;) Just wanted to make sure, and right any wrong I might have done.
Don't worry, I'm more difficult when I'm mad. And harder to charm. But it takes a lot to make me mad, you have to either really not like my style, or TRY.
