Artorius (King Arthur)

Basics:
King Arthur is a legendary British leader who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against the Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. According to me, King Arthur rocks.

Pros:
Has amazing strength (see sword-pulling prowess)
5 words: Knights. of. the. Round. Table.
Um, he's king, people.
Is the stuff legends are made of
You get to live at Camelot

Cons:
Highly doubtful that he showers much
Will never believe that you & Lancelot are "just friends"
Always has that pesky Merlin to deal with
Is long deceased, if he ever lived

ok this is a man i have a weakness for.
like you said camelot- the stuff dreams are made of. i love all the mystery surrounding him and his men.
and the movie version you have featured. what's not to love: handsome, dark, rugged, a man's man, yummy!
i know what you mean about that "pesky merlin", you never knew, was he a good wizard or a bad one.

Loved the Sean Connery movie version, with Richard Gere as Lancelot! Both easy on the eyes!

Agree with your pros! Plus I would always feel secure in his protection. Has great leadership ability, but also a romantic! Cares for the down & out, the average people even though he is king.

Cons: would hate to have to clean & polish his armor! he is gone for weeks at a time, defending the kingdom. never know if he is coming home alive or not. would always be cooped up in a castle of cold stone walls. and would hate those jousting tournaments for entertainment!
