Disposition:

Megan is many ways, the classic knight. She is honorable, loyal, and protective of others. Megan takes the code of the cyber-knight seriously. She also has the qualities of a true warrior. She is daring, bold, and courageous. Still, in no way can she be considered fool-hardy. She has a strong charisma and inspires trust in those around her. As might be expected, she is a strong leader and has strong tactical abilities although her skills on strategic abilities are untested. While she dislikes the Coalition and how they treat non-humans but there are several supernatural creatures she hates more. She believes in the equality of humans and non-humans in general.

Megan is pretty outgoing and makes friends easily. She cherishes those friends greatly. Even though a knight, she is quite well educated and can discuss many scholarly subjects. Unlike some other female knights, she enjoys romantic relationships with men and does not try and dominate them. Still, she prefers relationships with men who are not physically dominating and prefers scholars as her lovers.

Appearance:

Megan is clearly proof that a strong woman can be quite attractive. She is quite tall, being around six feet in height, and well muscled. Even so, she is obviously female and quite attractive with decent breasts for a muscular woman. Her appearance definitely shows a Nordic background. Megan has golden blond hair which hangs straight and she normally wears down to the small of her back although she sometimes ties her hair up. She is blue eyed and her gaze shows strong intelligence. While not extremely pale, her heritage shows in being very light skin and an aquiline nose. She normally wears only fairly light makeups and prefers a fairly natural look with just a bit of highlights. When not covered up, three tatoos can be seen on her left arm.

In dress, Megan prefers to dress very simply. Of course she spends most of her time in armor but normally wears simple tunics and legging when she is outside of armor. Normally these are long sleeved to hide her protective body suit. In addition to tunic and leggings, she does like to wear Kimonos. Both her Kimonos and her other cloths are usually a light blue. In or out of armor, she almost never is without her Rune Sword “Wind Spirit” and she almost allays carried the bastard sword on her back. While she often carries additional weapons, they are not as constantly carried as her Rune Sword.

Character History:

Megan is the first born child of a cyber-knight who was a legend in his own time although not as well known today as her had been in his heyday. One might say that Sir Lars was eclipses by his own daughter. She was raised on stories of the knighthood and ever since she can remember, she always wanted to be a knight. Her father saw only one solution and that was to train her in the ways of knighthood. Some other knights disagreed with him training his own daughter but he never slacked off duty to train her. Some might even say that he was more demanding because she was his daughter. Both extremely bright and driven she excelled in both scholarly areas and in military prowess.

Even though she is still less than thirty, few knights have her level of experience or are as well traveled as Megan Smith. Even her adventures on the American continent can be matched by few. Like most knights, she has had her fair share of scrapes against the soldiers of the Coalition. Still, she always knew that were greater evils than the soldiers and has even helped them on occasion. She has been to the East Coast of the Old American Empire where she fought robot creatures which seemed bent on taking over the lands. It seems like many creatures are bent on taking over the world. Megan believes that it her goal to defeat those evils and save those who wish to live in peace. She has been to Mexico and Central America where she helped in the battle against the vampires and acquired “Wind Spirit,” a Rune Sword which has become her constant companion.

Her adventures off the North American continent have caused her to travel much of the World and even in one case off the planet entirely. For much of her adventures, she had three companions. One was a knight raised in a very different tradition that she was. He called himself a Samurai and was an extremely capable warrior in his own right. She had studied Japanese culture from her mother, who was a noted scholar, when she had been younger and the Samurai had always fascinated Megan. Her Psi-Sword formed to appear to be a Katana. Another companion was a woman who called herself “Little Dragon” and told that she was a Ninja and certainly seemed to live up to her name. She often performed the stealth jobs which the group needed to perform. Finally, there was Ki-Tarn, an exiled Kittani who acted as the group’s heavy hitter. Megan was nominally the group’s leader and they had a great many adventures together.

The group went to Atlantis to help to rescue a prisoner of the Splugorth. Few manage to escape from Atlantis and even few get into Atlantis and back out again. Unfortunately she made several powerful enemies and Sunaj assassins have been sent against the group several times. As well, there have even more unusual attempts against the group including creating clones of various members of the group. One of those is believed to be a woman named “Tarna” who also escaped from Atlantis and is being hunted herself

Other places in the World which Megan and her companions have found their way to include Africa where the knight fought against the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. In her previous adventures, she had made many friends including some in extremely high places. One of these was the Egyptian God “Thoth” who gave her a suit of enchanted armor. She was an important warrior against the elemental forces of death and was important in their defeat although she definitely was not the only one to have fought them.

Megan, along with her companions, has been to England and many other places beyond that. It is virtually impossible to list all of their adventures and it would take many pages to deal with all of her adventures. She never adventured for fame but eventually became famous even so. Several of her stories have been published by her mother who is as proud of her daughter as Megan’s mother. She has been off the Earth in a place called “Wormwood” where her honor and daring. That is the story of her life, fight valiantly and with honor.
