Playing The Green Knight

Noble, discerning, perceptive, and astute. The Green

Knight judges the nature and actions of those around
him, to determine who is worthy. He is cunning in his
methods, and mysterious in the nature of his being.

The two stat choices for The Green Knight tend towards
his violent and judgmental nature, (Volatile 2 & Cold 1),
or his mysterious and aggressive side (Dark 2 & Volatile
1). He is not one to win others over with charisma,
his words are often blunt and to the point, his actions
swift, his judgment final.

The Green Knight appears in a number of Arthurian

stories, principally those to do with Gawain. He arrives
to challenge the knights, and serves to test their will
and loyalty. He is able to receive mortal wounds and
remain unphased by them, picking his own severed
head up, the concept of mortality means little to him.
He tests others through their actions, challenging them
to tasks they may fail at. In the end he offers mercy to
the worthy.

Your Backstory
You have judged someone and
found them wanting. Take a
string on them.
You owe someone something.
Give them one string.
Darkest Self
It is time to pass judgment. It
is time to determine the worth
of those around you. Everyone
must be weighed and measured,
and those found wanting must
be excised from the world. You
escape your darkest self when
you defeat someone who is
unworthy, or you find someone
worthy of your respect.
