from the grey ashes

Ok, I admit it has probably been over three years since I've written anything outside of academia, so I am quite excited to take up the RPer's gauntlet once again. I am very rusty, however, and for this reason I am shying away from jumping straight into a solo. I would welcome a Citadel battle, as long as it is realised that my character is rather old-fashioned with no defense against magic whatsoever, and would likely fall within the first few pages if his opponent was to be intensely magical. Might not be much fun...
What I am really interested in is perhaps a short little quest with one person. At the moment I am still fleshing out Holly's history, which, unfortunately due to my unpracticed hand, means I need to find it through actively writing him. I thought it might go more smoothly if we could plan the possible story a bit first through PMs or IM, or even in this thread, and I am honestly open to any ideas so we can make this work well for both characters. Nothing epic.
Holly's basics...well, he's a very rough 'round the edges, bitter, middle-aged ex-Knight, crude and prone to a variety of vexing behaviour, and therefore probably won't make for pleasant company. Highly original concept, as you can see. :) All he knows is violence, and all he has ever been valued for is his strength and his blade. Right now, he's basically little more than a breathing sword, and trying to eke out a living in his exile doing the only thing he's ever known. This means he could be a hired protector for your character or a caravan, or serve in some other merc capacity. Or perhaps he and another can run into each other somehow and (fill in the blank).
I promise to post at least 1-2x week, and my only request is the same out of any prospective joiners. I may also add that he tends to despise magicians, wizards, people with supernatural powers, non-humans, et al....so someone with these qualities might make for some interesting juxtaposition.
