Alright, I avoided posting the story of the character because it is kind of convoluted. The out of game reasons for this are that he was originally the Summer Knight, but every single one of the players hated the Fae and in order to keep people reasonably happy I decided to work with the GM to figure out a way to get out of that template, at the same time I settled onto an aspect that was Code of Honor, it is a Code of Honor that was given to medieval knights according to the Song of Roland. So the GM and I decided that he should start making a transition towards being a Knight of the Cross instead. Well we are sort of loosely adhering to cannon so at the time all 3 swords were accounted for, but my GM had learned of a Rom legend regarding a 4th nail. So he came up with this story for me.
James was destined from the time of his birth to be a Knight of the Cross but was also born a Changeling, one of the most powerful Denarians discovered this and enacted a plan to try to take out potential sword bearers from play, the Knights of the Cross being their biggest threat. The Archangel Uriel, discovered this plan and also knew that Titania had in her possession the legendary 4th nail of the Cross but she wouldn't part with it without some payment. Uriel while discovering this also discovered that the Denarians were planning to capture Titania and trap her power causing a war between the Courts that would destroy the world. So together he and Titania hatched a plan to set James up as a decoy Summer Knight, allowing the Denarians to think that their plan of taking James off the board as far as being a KotC was a success. James would get all of the powers associated with being the Summer Knight temporarily while he did his duties to the Summer Court. Upon the Denarians attempting to take Titania out, James would rescue her from her imprisonment and find the people who hatched such a heinous plan. At the completion of this quest, Titania would release James from his geas and role as the decoy Summer Knight, and would relinquish the 4th nail to him so that a 4th sword could be forged and she would allow him to continue to make use of the magic of her Court. He Chose to be human after the quest was completed so as to further remove himself from the influences of the Fae Courts (and because I needed to free up refresh to buy the True Faith abilities).
So that is the story behind why I have Summer Magic and am a KotC...I am not trying to be a power gamer in this, I just really like the fluff (if I wanted to be a power gamer I would take Soul Fire instead), and I am not using it as a way to cheat and get inhuman or supernatural stats (although if I ever get the refresh to afford them I might try to pick them up, but that is very unlikely). I unfortunately just love characters that are flawed in some way, and the idea of playing a mortal Knight of the Cross who wields Summer Magic but is being slowly warped by the powers that he is using was too good to pass up.
