Yes, I work with kings, royalty, and nobility all the time, but I have never created a good, old-fashioned gentleman.

That's not what I am doing.

I went on TVTropes and looked up every single gentleman trope, then piled it into one story.  Added in drama, highbrow commedy, loquaciousness, sex, violence, and references to James Bond and Order of the Stick... and Batman.  Then made it sophisticated.  Manipulation will play a huge role in this.  You really have to read TVTropes to get some of the jokes, but you will understand it.   Meanwhile, I wanted to sort of create a genre blend.  It takes place in a fantasy world, but it has an action layer, a mystery layer, a layer of science, a layer of sci-fi, a bit of war stories, a bit of magic, a hammy gentleman who has some parallels with Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemmingway, but is, for the most part, level-headed, and, at times snarky.  It is unabashedly about manliness, but has a large amount of fan-service for both genders, and also introduces more members of the Belgos and Argow, while also introducing some very important characters to Children of Exarchy as well.  I may set up cliches at times... but be very wary of it.  These characters might just see it coming.  

Meanwhile, I have been busy with this story for almost two months now.  

To TVTropes readers: Expect the weirdest of lampshades.  I lampshade stuff that I come up with.

To everyone else... Well... read Order of the Stick and TVTropes.  It will help you understand my story.

Swashbuckling Gentleman will be released soon.
