Seeing as the list of characters will prove to be extensive, what would be a
good way to categorize it (similiar question to structures)?  My thoughts on the
general segregation so far are:

1)  Villager - your standard folks
2)  Knight - your warriors by profession (part of bigger whole)
3)  Rogue - lone adventure seekers
4)  Leader - the main person in a group of any kind
5)  Warrior - a lone Knight
6)  Sailor - sails the Legoceania
7)  Merchant - sells goods or services
8)  Traveler - wanders the known land
9)  Explorer - seeks to discover the unknown land
10)  Outlaw - wanted by the law in a specific kingdom - or all of them?
11)  Servant - serves Royalty
12)  Royalty - Kings, Queens, Barons, Lords, etc...
13)  Priest or Priestess - uses non-attacking Magic, as well as your regular
church minifig (healers, etc)
14)  Sorcerer or Sorceress - plenty of attacking Magic, fortune teller, etc.
15)  Public Servant - Judges, etc...

I'm sure I'm missing something, but for example wizard would be a subcategory of
Sorcerer, as would Necromancer, mage, etc...  Thanks for your input.

I for one like this categorization scheme. You should probably add "mercenary" to it. -- Paul Davidson Pawel Nazarewicz <verneer@utk.edu> wrote in message news:Fow6AF.BnI@lugnet.com... (...) a (...) on the (...) regular (...) etc. (...) subcategory (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) p ~ i think interesting allowances could be made so that "gypsies and nomads" could be added to the list. their Realm could be made to "float" over unoccupied Realm spaces. interesting, no? later ~ craig~ (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
