Have you ever heard the tale of the Pied Piper? They say he came into a rodent infested town one day, and offered to lead the mice and rats away for a moderate fee. The desperate townsfolk agree and he played his pipe to lead the vermin far far away. But when he returned the townsfolk refused his fee and so that night he returned to lead their children to a land far far away.
Many say those children became the inhabitants of the many realms where all the other fairy tales take place. You have probably heard the stories of many of these lands in the form of fairy tales such as Cinderella and Snow White, but there are lands with stories yet untold. . .
Along the eastern coast of that land far far away is the kingdom of Viso-ane, a magical land, as you might expect, with a fantastic assortment of people and creatures. The centerpiece of this wondrous land is the Royal City, complete with a towering gold and white castle. To the north is the frozen mountains, with a Land of Giants nestled to the northwest, where the mountains meet the Dark Forest that lie west of the kingdom. In the southwest is the City of Magic mostly inhabited by fae and sorcerers. South proper is Farmland, extending for quite a while until it gives way to lush meadows, and eventually the boarder of the neighboring kingdom of Zinoir. To the southeast and east lies the Twin Port Cities (Northernport and Southernport), the main shipping routes for the kingdom. And finally to the northeast lies the seedy city of Ye Old Vegas, where entrainment is the main industry, as well as a series of Coastal Caves.
Viso-ane has been peaceful for many years, having good relations with the nearby kingdom of Zinoir, and no trouble with the giants to the northeast. Though they still refuse to recognize a puny human as their ruler, they tend to keep to themselves and not interfere with the kingdon's affairs. Only the occasional goblin horde, evil witch/wizard, or dragon ever seems to bother the fair land of Viso-ane.
Until recently. . .
The trouble started in Southernport. Several citizens have begun to look rather ill, with ashen skin, bloodshot eyes, and grey vein-like markings. Those effected do not believe when they are told they are sick go through the motions of their daily activities, though they are unusually slow and their attitude is decidedly dispassionate. Additionally they do not sleep and seem to get slower everyday until one day they just freeze in place like marble statues.
Every few days more victims are discovered, though local doctors and healers are at a loss to explain the illness or how it is being transmitted. All attempts at cures and quarantine have failed so far, leading some to believe it may be a curse. Though without further information, any magical attempts at cures could backfire horribly. The initial source of this malady is just as mysterious, and while some believe it may have come in on one of the ships, others point to the kingdom of Zinoir.
No matter the cause the monarch has learned of this illness and decided it is of utmost importance that the spread be stopped and a cure be found. A glorious reward awaits anyone who is brave enough or smart enough to solve this crisis. Though for some religious and moral obligations may be cause enough.
. . .So, who are you in this land, what do you do, and how do you plan to react to the current crisis? Will you join the efforts to find a cure? Or just stay the heck out of dodge?

Sign-up Form:
Name: Sir Simon Rosewood
Age & Gender: 23, Male
Species & Occupation: Human (cursed), Knight
Alignment: Lawful Moral
Main Tools/Weapons: Sword & Dragon-hide Armor (or Lance, Sword, & Plate Armor)
Pet/Mount: Simon rides a large speckled grey horse, with a black tail and mane. His name is Ash, a name he had before Simon received him. He is fairly tame and reasonably loyal. While he is fast and strong, he has no particular powers or special traits.
Appearance:
Simon is slightly on the tall side, well built especially in the arms, but not really bulky. He has tan skin, littered with freckles, and medium length black hair that is generally as spiky mess. He has a rectangular face, with strong features; cheek bones and straight nose, and lively blue eyes. He has several scars from training, battle, and attempts to kill his cursed form. In particular he has a nasty black scar on his upper left arm, from when he was cursed.
Simon's usual day clothes consist of a long off-white tunic made of a thick durable fabric, and an over-shirt and pants made from protective red-brown dragon-hide. He also wears heavy black leather boots. For intense battle, Simon will change into plate armor, but since it is heavy and restrictive, it's mostly for full on war scenarios.
In his boar/cursed form, Simon is transformed into a large black boar with hair very similar to his human form hair. His eyes turn red in this form, looking very monstrous. And his back bears a few hairless-less scars from attempts on his life.
Personality:
Many familiar with him, would probably describe Simon as a good man, kind and helpful. In reality he's probably a step below good, as he does things more out of moral obligation then actual goodness of heart. He's come a long way from the kid who simply wanted to be famous for slaying dragons and vanquishing dark wizards, now working for the good of the kingdom regardless of if he will be recognized for his efforts.
Brave and unrelenting, he will work hard until he achieves a goal. Or die trying. Though he works very hard at not dying, because he's not stupid or reckless, though his choices may sometimes look that way to an outsider. But he has trained very hard to be able to do things most people wouldn't dream of attempting, and is aware of his own limitations.
While Simon is not one to hide his emotions, he has been taught that there are many occasions on which someone simply keeps their opinions to themself. His face and body language therefore will often give away his disagreeing with someone though he declines to actually say it. He does his best to be polite and respectful of all.
As a boar Simon is a very simple creature. He wants to eat and be left alone. If either of these conditions is violated he will attack those around him without distinction, charging and goring offenders with his sharp tusks. He is, quite simply, very dangerous to be around.
History:
Simon the son of a gardener and a seamstress, both of whom had followed the occupations of their parents and parents' parents, expecting Simon to follow suit and take up gardening or become a tailor. Both parents showed him their work and taught him basic skills, telling him he could pick whichever job he decided he liked best. But at seven, when he was expect to start seriously apprenticing, Simon made an unexpected request. He wished to train as a page and become and knight, like the many heroes he saw parade through town after long and harrowing battles.
His parents were in some ways, obviously disappointed, but knowing it would be a step up in class his father inquired with the nobles who's gardens he kept, and managed to get him a meeting with the knight's guild. His parents told him not to get his hopes too high, and to decide which occupation to take if he was rejected. But, should he be so lucky as to get an apprenticeship with a knight, he must work hard to make them proud of his decision.
Seeing the boy was fairly intelligent and quite enthusiastic, one of the knights present decided to take him on as their new page.
Simon would soon learn that being a knight was not about the fame or recognition. The knights had a strong code of moral behavior and rigorous training regime. It was hard and not at all what he had expected, often lugging around the knights belongings, and there were many moments where the young page wanted to give up, but remembering he'd disappointed his parents once, he knew he could not do it again. And so he devoted himself to learning all the etiquette and skills required of him; to serving his knight, and his kingdom to the best of his ability. His work was rewarded in promotion to being a squire, the next step on his way to knighthood.
When Simon was old enough, his knight started to take him into battle that he might prove himself, and earn a knighting from their monarch. One day their troop set out to storm the goblin infested tower constructed by a dark wizard encroaching on the kingdom's farmland. Though the group was eventually victorious, the battle was hard, and Simon did not leave it unscathed. Though at the time it only seemed like a flesh wound and he soon found himself a celebrated full knight, one of the goblins had been armed with a cursed dagger, which left Simon cursed when he slashed his left arm. Since then, at night Simon transforms into a aggressive black boar that will attack anything the gets in it's way. Only his knight mentor knows of his condition however, and Simon quickly learned to lock himself up or flee into the woods at nightfall.
