Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! Just need a troubadour now, and the thread to agree on a guild name they like, I can get started on an update. (And don't worry, theShim, please do still make an alchemist you'd like to see, I plan on including as many characters as I can one way or another!)

Also, I edited the first post to reflect this, but bear in mind that there's an 8 character limit for names and guilds.

Name: Keyser
Class: Troubadour
Backstory: Every thing he says is either a poem, a reference to literature, or in iambic pentameter.
Portrait: 3

Have fun.

You missed the opportunity to call him Bastian. :v:

Wikipedia posted:

Linguists Morris Halle and Samuel Jay Keyser developed a set of rules (English Stress: Its Forms, Its Growth, and Its Role in Verse, Harper and Row, 1971) which correspond with those variations which are permissible in English iambic pentameter.
I felt like going with something like Chaucer was too heavy.

On a more serious note, as much as I like this idea, I'm not sure how well I could pull that off, realistically. I'm terrible with poetry aside from ridiculously stupid limericks, not so hot on literature, and don't know if I could pull of iambic pentameter. Hmm.
I'm willing to expand it to historical references and any linguistic trick, so long as you cite the more obscure ones and mix it up often.

It is time for Keyser's moment of glory, and that moment should last the entire rest of the lp. He is the inspiration for victory.

Trivialize the fights however you want, we're all only reading this for Keyser's banter.

Three whole speaking parts for Keyser, well isn't he being chatty. You're getting better with your writing, 20 updates from now we'll be reading poetry that rivals Dante written out of pure spite.

Don't worry, we're all willing to wait as long as you need for Keyser, who I assume is the crowd favorite.

Don't worry too much about the OP, if you want to fix it up fine, if :effort:'s icy grasp has a hold over you, that's fine too.

When Keyser can come back, they cheer all night

You know what helps recover from exams? Writing poetry and literature references, bring back Keyser, the people demand the return of his terrible gimmick.

A misquote is fine
it is still a reference
but I am watching.

3 whole speaking parts again :neckbeard: oh and the game and stuff good work. If you are ever stuck on Keyser, just remember he is pretty much just a fantasy PYF poster.
