Oh vassal, who is your lord? Be you Pict? Briton? Irish? Perhaps even a Northman? Are you a virtuous Christian or a Pagan fluent in the rituals and sacrifices?
You are a vassal lord in the realm of Britain around the late 7th early 8th century. Your duties include raising armies to fight when war comes and keeping peace around the realm, and by that it means brutalizing the peasants and killing bandits.
Name:Irish, Celtic, Breton, Welsh will work
Age:
Physical Desc.: Please know a lot of people (as in 90%) in the dark ages weren't tall or really muscled
Bio: At least a paragraph

Name: Yannic Gwallter Cecil
Age: 16
Physical Desc.: Brown-hair, pale, dark-brown eyes, 5'8, scrawny.
Bio: No one really knows who Yannic was born unto. He was found as naught but a babe on the side of the road by a minor Nobleman who had business in Germany. One of his guards made a snarky comment about the "oor peasant child in the side of the road" and the Nobleman ordered the carriage to stop. A soldier brought Yannic forth, and he was wrapped in soft blankets with a House's symbol, too muddled to identify. The Nobleman returned to England, bringing with him a Fosterling. He rose Yannic as his youngest son, teaching him the ways of Honor, Chivalry, and the Code of Battle.

if by influential and loyal, you mean yourself yeah. Otherwise you're fairly distant from the villagers as usual, you can either send an emissary or go yourself and levy villagers, and same for the blacksmith

Well then I'll send an emissary to find willing villagers. He'll let them know that the militia would not be used beyond the village and the surrounding area, it might rope in some veterans who'll only fight when forced to. I'll go find the blacksmith myself.

You send the man out as you search for one, the nearest town seems to have one, but he asks "Depends on how many and how well equipped."

I stand there for a moment, appearing to think on his advice. "Hm. Yes, I suppose that's true. Good day, sir." I'll take my leave and return to my village.

Yes, this seems satisfactory. Is there a veteran who would be suitable for drill-master or some such among them?

I guess I'll be the one training them. I'll have that emissary assign sparring partners to every recruit. He'll inform them to spar, and after one or the other has been dealt a "killing" blow, the winner will explain how they got past the loser's defense.
