Whom shall I play in canadabear's new game Camelot United?

I have a very, very loud Arthur camping in my brain and waiting to be let out, but I can't commit to playing enough to take him.

There's the Green Knight, of course, but I've done him before.
There's Sir Palomides the Saracen, who fascinates me because he isn't Christian (for most of the story, anyway) and he doesn't have to be white, but he still belongs in Arthurian society. (Hey, maybe I could have him worship Apollin and Tervagant!)
There's Sir Perceval, whom I could play from the very beginning of Chretien de Troyes canon before he figures out what a knight is.
There's the Fisher King, but I'm having trouble imagining the way he'd be moved into the new Camelot.

Any other suggestions?

ETA: Sir Palomides just acquired a personality and a headvoice, so I'm taking him. If you have any other ideas for characters, Camelot United is still looking for new ones!

What about one of the many dwarves stolen and tossed during Mallory's version? *grins*

Ooooh, I vote for Sir Palomides. That would be lots of fun.

(Wasn't it the Wolfram von Eschenbach version that had Palomides checkerboard? Not that I'm seriously suggesting that you should do that, of course...)

I'm glad to hear you say that, because Sir P. took up residence in my brain ten minutes ago and will not go away.

Also, as I have no MHG, I've never read Wolfram, so I didn't know that -- awesome. I think I'm going for the simpler userpic route and making him look like your standard Othello.

Heh. Sir Palomides has taken up residence, so it shall be he -- but I encourage you to bring in a dwarf yourself!

Eeeexcellent!

I've always loved Palomides - he's fascinated me for all of the same reasons that he fascinates you, I think. I think you'll have a lot of fun playing him.

And I read Wolfram in translation - I'm barely managing to struggle through modern German these days :)

Tempting as it is to app for Brave Sir Robin, I get the impression it's not that sort of Camelot...

It does seem to be heavily weighted towards the Malory-Tennyson-White kind of narratives, yes.

Translations are good. Do you recommend one?

That RP sounds like so much fun- I'll have to keep an eye on it from time to time. Also, your buddy icon is nifty but seems very dangerous. :)

Well, yeah, it's sharp and pointy, but I bet if I used it to cut your head off you could just stick your head back on again!

And as for fun, you know, you too could come to the Dark Side we call LJ roleplaying.
