Conor O'donohoe

Conor O'Donoghue is freshly graduated college dood with a promising future ahead, 22 year-old Conor D instead walked out of his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure. What happened to him on the way transformed this young wanderer into an enduring symbol for countless people. Was Conor O'Donoghue a heroic adventurer or a naïve idealist, a rebellious 1990s Thoreau or another lost American son, a fearless risk-taker or a tragic figure who wrestled with the precarious balance between man and nature? Conor O'Donoghue's quest took him from the wheat fields of Castlepollard to a renegade trip down the River Shannon to the non-conformists' refuge of Mullingar, Co Westmeath and beyond. Along the way, he encountered a series of colorful characters at the very edges of Midlands society who shaped his understanding of life and whose lives he, in turn, changed. In the end, he tested himself by heading alone into the wilds of the great Athlone, where everything he had seen and learned and felt came to a head in ways he never could have expected.

Combat Roles
During the game, Conor will have to face a variety of combat situations and should be able to deal well (or at least adequately) with all of them. He will face infantry and cavalry on open terrain, fight in mountains where cavalry is next to useless and get stuck in close quarters combat, especially during sieges. On top of that, he needs a way to protect themselves from melee and ranged attacks, and should have some way to fight on both distances as well. This is less vital for companions, but Conor will need some kind of ranged weapon, if only to deal with those pesky horse archers he can't catch and enemies getting stuck in inaccessible places during a siege.

Weapons
Conor mainly makes use of two-handed weapons such as great-axes. He also uses a bow and arrow, handmade from the wood behind his house in greenpark. He is also known to switch out for a lance, or even occasionally equipping a sword for extra protection. Hafted Blades are also worth considering as they are the only polearms that can be used to swing from horseback, and have a quite impressive range.
