A Tale of Knights and Stars...

And even the renowned king Arthur himself was mortally wounded; and being carried thence to the isle of Avallon to be cured of his wounds... Geoffrey of Monmouth (1136)
Escaped from his many millenniums of captivity, the wizard Merlin escapes; changed and boiling over with a desire for vengeance, ready to take advantage of the scattered human race. The great King Arthur, healed aboard the great ship Avalon, must return to right past wrongs, confront his old mentor and re-unite the human race. However, the rejuvenated Arthur somewhat displays a reluctance to accept his destiny. With an uppish, constantly exasperated Sir Kay as a bumbling guide; and a cunning, malevolent Merlin out to get him; the teenage King Arthur is about to go embark a right of passage like no other...

Arthur
Hero: Arthur, The Reluctant Once and Future King Arthur is the head of the intergalactic order known as the Knights of the Round Table. Very little is known of their origins, whether they are like demi-gods, blessed protectors of man-kind, or an advanced humanoid race that has taken an interest in ensuring humanities survival; are they time travellers, able to intervene at critical moments in history? Arthur is their figure head, their greatest warrior, a bastion for humanity to gather around. According to them... Arthur himself has other ideas. After being mortally wounded by his half-brother Mordred, he was returned to their ship, Avalon, to be healed. Now back to youth and health, with a foggy memory of who he once was, an unwanted and heavy burden has been hefted upon his shoulders. Constantly hounded by his stuffy mentor, Arthur wears his destiny with the utmost relectance.

Heros Sidekick: Sir Kay, Arthurs Uppish Mentor During Arthur's reign, Sir Kay acted as Arthur's right-hand man, his lieutenant and closest ally. While Arthur lay in stasis, his body slowly regenerating, Kay guarded his charge with the utmost dedication. He has spent his time gathering the required knowledge and lore to act as mentor and guide to the replenished Arthur. His studies however have left him somewhat out of touch with the real world, lost amongst wisdom and ancient rules. His once strong build has become plump, his attitude snobbish, and his concerns focussed on education rather than action. While he means the best, Sir Kay's attempts to educate the young Arthur meet with cold reception. His stuffy manner and hesitation before action leave him with his nose in his compendium while Arthur gets the job done. However, he serves as a restraint against Arthur's rashness and still remains a loyal companion. Physical Age: 55 Race: Humanoid Height: 53 Career: Arthurs Mentor and Companion.

Villain: Merlin, The Corrupted Herald Placed upon Earth by the Nine to prepare the human race to receive Arthur, Merlin has been a long term servant of Avalon. He acted as a mentor to the developing Arthur and played a key part in his mission. However, towards the end of the allotted time, Merlin was seduced by some rogue fae creature name Vivien. He was deceived into revealing his origin, powers and purpose. Vivien then worked his own spells against him, sealing him inside a young oak. So strong was Viviens magic that Merlin was hidden from the Nines sight and was consequently left behind when the decision was made to depart. Ever the since Nine have been searching for him. However, while trapped for many millenniums, Merlin nursed a fear and loneliness that turned to hate and desire for revenge on those who left him. Eventually his anger and hate built to such a level that it split his prison asunder. Once free, Merlin embarked on a villainous mission to bring humanity to the brink of destruction, to force the Nine to once again intervene, and finally confront the one they left behind.
