People With Swords: The Clockwork Swordsman
.
Nobody knows who built the Clockwork Swordsman, but there are reliable reports that he has been around for at least 200 years. Since the Swordsman himself cannot speak, he can’t confirm or deny any of the reports.
You never know where or when the Clockwork Swordsman will show up, other than the fact that it will be when he is needed. He might rescue a young woman from bandits today, then show up on a battlefield fighting an invasion of Prussian Mutantroopers next week.
The Clockwork Swordsman is 6’4″ tall, made of some silvery alloy that is nearly indestructible and is modelled after the knights of old. He cannot speak and seldom interacts with humans except for when he is fighting. He carries two longswords made of the same material as his body. He can fight equally well with either hand.

People With Swords: Will the Wanderer
.
Poor old Will just wanted to rack up some easy money by looting the site of the Battle of Black River. There he was, loading his cart with weapons, armor and whatever else looked valuable, when he saw the Sword of Jeradus. Since General Jeradus was quite dead, Will decided to grab the sword as the capper to his day of looting. He now regrets that.
It seems that, as he lay dying, General Jeradus, cursed the sword to seek out the traitor who had caused his downfall. Thus cursed, the already powerfully magicked sword was just waiting to be picked up by some fool. Enter our friend, Will.
Now, Will wanders the lands looking for the traitor. He has no idea who the traitor is, but the sword will know if it gets within a mile of him. So far, Will has been wandering for 2 years. He will often hook up with an adventuring group, in order to earn some gold. Given how powerful the sword is, most groups are glad to have him.
Will cannot get rid of the sword until the traitor is killed. Believe me, he has tried.
Will is 5’11” tall, weighs 180 pounds and has long brown hair and brown eyes. He is fit and healthy, but sad and tired looking. The sword is a rather plain looking 2 handed greatsword.

People With Swords: Laura Long
.
Laura Long was one of those women who had pretty much had it with the male bullshit that pervades our world. The difference between her and most other women was that she was a skilled swordsperson, trained from a very early age by her mother and father. She had quite a selection of swords to choose from, too. Short swords, claymores, scimitars, rapiers, katanas, and many more. All of them wicked sharp, too.
So, one night she just says “fuck this shit” and she goes to the bad side of town, finds a pimp beating one of his prostitutes and cuts him in half with a claymore. Then she finds a dirty cop shaking down some hookers and she runs him through.
Now, a couple of years later, Laura is #1 with a bullet on every Most Wanted list in North America. Law enforcement isn’t sure of anything about her because she changes her look every week or so. They aren’t even sure of her sex, but since her kill score recently topped 300, you can bet they won’t stop looking.
