Character Name: Rincewind Canon Name: Discworld Brief History: Rincewind is a 35 year old wizzard (poor man can't spell), is tragically inept in learning and casting spells, is the unluckiest/luckiest man on all of the disc, and a coward. He can't learn spells because, during his time in the equivalent of wizard highschool, he took a dare to open the spellbook of the creator of the universe. One of eight powerful spells lodged itself into his memory and, according to him, scared away all the other spells that he'd otherwise memorize. He doesn't know what the spell does, but in times of great duress/near death experiences he'll begin to unconsciously cast it. The Lady (the Discworld's equivalent of Goddess of Luck), favors him and because he doesn't acknowledge/realize this, he continues to survive falling off the world, near-drownings, near-starvation, near-hanging, mobs, C'thulu equivalent monsters, the Dungeon Dimensions, Fate's wrath, and Death.
Rincewind is the coward with a thousand running backs. His hourglass that measures his life is so warped and twisted that Death keeps it on his desk as desk art.
AU Ideas: Rincewind will be a "wizzard" (or "maggus"?? I'm still hashing this out in my head) from Sanctuary. He IS enlightened, but he'll be spell-less. He'll have lived his whole life during the Sanctuary lock-down from Gigas so anything he knows about the world around him will be from the books he's devoured. He's fluent in a number of languages and knows how to scream in even more. He'll have some geographical knowledge courtesy of the books he's read. I figure he'll have found Union by running for his life from Gigas.
I'm still braining over if I want to try to haggle to have him as the favored of a BNW equivalent of The Lady or just have one of his innate abilities be something of luck...if possible. On the other hand I've thought about just loading up his 3 innate abilities with redundant splash attacks and make him the human version of a magikarp...without the evolving.
He wont have The Luggage unless I can find the pokemon equivalent of "half suitcase, half homicidal maniac".
Looking For: ANYTHING AND ANYONE. People to get him into trouble. People to get him OUT of trouble. Trouble. Anyone who's heard of Rincewind's infamy of being the worst magus to ever magus.
