==SCA origin story==
==SCA origin story==
Benedikt von Luzern was introduced to the SCA by a friend in The Barony of Tir Ysgithr in 1989. He became squired in the mid 90's but was released to follow his lady to the Kingdom of An Tir. Residing in An Tir he sort of fell out of the society with the exception of the occasional armored combat practice and the annual pilgramage to Estrella War. He then traveled to the Kingdom of Ansteorra for another year. In 2017 the two returned to Atenveldt. He now revels in a strange juxtaposition of building new relationships through the archery community yet reuniting with people from decades ago. In a way Benedikt is reinventing himself. His dreams are that this new energy will spill over onto the rest of [[Haus Tagesterne]].

One of the reason's Benedikt was drawn into the SCA was shinai. Remember SCA shinai back in the early 90's. No? Well you're not the only one. "Brah, shinai was like soooooooooo 90's." From there he transitioned into fencing and from there into full hardsuit. In the late 90's Benedikt actually started the road to knighthood by taking a red belt to Thegn Sir Brendan mac Artuir (then Sir Brendan). A couple years and a AoA later Sir Brendan released Benedict as a squire when he followed his lady love to An Tir. From that point on Benedict only fought occasionally and at Estrella Wars but has recently picked up combat archery.

SCA origin story

Benedikt von Luzern was introduced to the SCA by a friend in The Barony of Tir Ysgithr in 1989. He became squired in the mid 90's but was released to follow his lady to the Kingdom of An Tir. Residing in An Tir he sort of fell out of the society with the exception of the occasional armored combat practice and the annual pilgrimage to Estrella War. He then traveled to the Kingdom of Ansteorra for another year. In 2017 the two returned to Atenveldt. He now revels in a strange juxtaposition of building new relationships through the archery community yet reuniting with people from decades ago. In a way Benedikt is reinventing himself. His dreams are that this new energy will spill over onto the rest of Haus Tagesterne.

Persona

Benedikt is a 14th century stone mason out of Luzern, a canton of what is now known as Switzerland. It was a time when the Swiss cantons were first uniting against the Hapsburg rule. Benedikt's persona was born and ages thru time exactly 600 years before his mundane counterpart of today. At events he attempts to maintain a very 14th century appearance and encampment.
