Cold. This character came much later than Conan. Think more high fantasy.

Prince Caspian?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Warming up. We are back in the correct genre, but he is quite a bit older than Caspian when we meet him. Additionally, the series he is in has not been adapted for film or television... yet.
I was very interested in this type of game when @Joe Kerr introduced it, because it not only helps us with our deductive reasoning, but gives the poster a chance to feed clues along the way, and we have to learn the balance between giving too much information and not enough. I think I might have given not enough information in some of the earlier clues (I was trying to make it more challenging since we've been going through these so quickly), and that one or two of the early clues might have been overlooked in later guesses, so I wanted to get them all together in one place in hopes that it makes things a bit more clear. Here is what we have learned so far:

Here is what we have learned so far:
- Has never been portrayed on stage (to the best of my knowledge)
- Features prominently in an epic fantasy series
- Excellent warrior and woodsman
- Uncrowned when he is introduced
- Not a young man
- Has no siblings
- Not a direct parallel of a specific legendary figure, but shares many traits with other characters in the "exile king" archetype
- Was created later than Conan the Barbarian (Conan was first published in 1932)
- High fantasy genre
- Not a movie or a TV show... yet.

Is it Perrin Aybara?

Smoking hot. He traveled with Perrin for a time.
Four guesses left, though I think we hardly need them at this point. Excellent guess, Lee.

Ace, then it's Rand al'Thor?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Not Rand, but still quite warm. Perrin was a closer guess, due to his past encounters with Elyas Machera.
Three.

Is it Lan Mandragoran?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Yes. One of my favorite characters in literature. Warder, warrior, uncrowned king of Malkier, and the name of my home wifi network, Lan is instrumental in the heroes' journey to overthrow the Dark One. Well done, Lee. I see there is no wool between your ears.

Been a long time since I read this series. This was still a tough one because you had to have read it to get the clues, ai?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Indeed. For me, the hard part was responding to the guess about Aragorn, which I knew was bound to come early, without giving it away entirely. "Basically Aragorn, but in the 90s" would have ended the game much sooner.

I don't know about that. High Fantasy wasn't my favorite genre. Every name Lee wrote above went completely over my head.

Jon Eckart:
Oh... and, that one is a hard PG-13 or up rating... not for language... based around a scene from the first Addams Family movie -
Jon Eckart:
((IRL: so, tomorrow. mental health appointment... Wednesday is the foot clinic appointment... to see if the insoles are helping (hint: they aren't)... may end up in surgery to try and fix the hallax ridgus on my right foot... never had surgery before. I'm all OEM, so far))

Jon Eckart:
((IRL: So, the new mega-tower works... actually, pretty sure it's worked for the last month. Every time I tried booting it, I had the TV on the wrong input. It's nice and fast... Threadripper 3950, 24-core, 48-threads, 3.8GHz with a Titan X video card, 2 1TB M.2s (one is boot drive), about 3.25TB between 4 HDDs. From when Win logo shows t o usable desktop, maybe 5 seconds))

Deric Storm:
I don't know how I feel about that. I have ZERO faith in current Hollywood to be be faithful to the source material -
Jon Eckart:
((So... the big secret recently is... my folks got their eviction notice for smoking in the building... so, they have a meeting with the caretaker and HRA in the afternoon... I'll be there (we're in the same building). In their favor... the caretaker had a cop, and went to HRA without talking to the manager, so maybe that might be in their favor... dunno. so, things are up in the air right now.))

Lucy:
Did you know San Francisco's original name was Yerba Buena, meaning "Good Herb" because these plants are so abundant there. -
Jon Eckart:
((We're appealing it, for whatever good that'll do. For smoking in their apartment. I wanna get hammered tonight))
-
Jon Eckart:
((So... the appeal date is the 19th... they'll try for an extension. The main place a friend of theirs is pushing for has a waiting list, and beyond that, the friend is in a 1 bedroom that's about 1/3 smaller than mine... there's no way they could fit in there (and no ceiling light in the living room or bedroom... just a switched outlet in each). I'm expanding the search in the morning to neighboring areas... low income housing, section 8, all that))
-
Jon Eckart:
((OOC: So, Thanksgiving is canceled, so is Christmas, for this year. Basically, when I'm awake, I'm hunting for more apartments that they can apply at. So far, lots of waiting lists, no headway. The folks are low-income (SSI), but the eviction on the 30th kills everything. Apparently, the building manager has heard from a few residents that the folks are evicted... the three of us keep to ourselves, and have only told a few people what's going on... and, then there's the charges...))

((Question: So, I started taking Zoloft (generic) 2 weeks ago... is it normal while on it, to not have emotional reactions to songs that previously had me bawling?))
-
Laverna:
@Jon Eckart . I hated being on Zoloft made me like made me so unresponsive. I'm going to say that's not a good thing -
Claire Yeon:
Good evening, terrestrials, extra and otherwise. I hope you are all well. -
