The year is 1191. The place, England. Viewing the English lands as damp and worthless, especially compared to his French holdings, King Richard I has journeyed to the Holy Land, focused on the glory of war. His island kingdom has been left in the grasping hands of his youngest brother, Prince John, and grumblings of discontent are spreading throughout the kingdom.
In the shire of Nottingham, the peasants, and a few nobles, are beginning to gather, quietly throwing their support behind a charismatic youth known as Robin Hood. Though born of noble parentage, Robin's heritage was taken from him at a tender age. His father, Malcolm, Earl of Huntingdon, abandoned his wife and son, obtaining an annulment through dubious methodology. The young Hood grew up a peasant, with none of the privileges afforded to men of rank and power. That didn't hamper his vision...nor his attitude.
The characters are based on those from the BBC Robin Hood series, though histories will be changed to reflect this alternate universe. How will your character's background, attitude, feelings, actions change if they are following not a disgraced lord scrambling to save England and regain his place in society, but a peasant, looking to rebel and change a country more than half a millennium before democracy became a household word?
Sherwood is looking for several characters, top on our list is Robin Hood! Please check out the character page.
