you can always check some of the characters posted in the first post, look at their backstory etc and then write some stuf for them.

What every companion needs:

Should anyone make any dialogues, just state the name of the companion you are writing the dialogues for. Don't write the dialogues of personality clash and match. I still have to make their likes and dislikes. Als the kingsupport objection is something I will do.

For all ease, I will put an X behind dialogues that you guys shouldn't make. And I shall start a list on the first post with companions who have complete dialogues.

Hames: Hello there!
Player: Well hello! and who might you be?
Hames: Ahem, i am Victor Hames, proud sergeant of the Conquistadors! You might have heard of my exploits, no?
Player: 1: No, i do not think so... But i would like to hear about them.
            2: No i havent and i just realised i dont want to. Goodbye! (End conversation)
Hames:Very well then, i will enlighten you my friend. As a sergeant, it falls to me to keep the men in line. I will do my very best to keep them fighting as long as possible, and to train them to their absolute peak of mind and body. Do not let my calm attitude fool you, i will promise you that your men aint going to like me when i get into action.
Player: 1: Sounds promising, please continue.
            2: Sounds like you might not be what im looking for. Take care! (End conversation)
Hames: This one time we were ordered to defend a small village. Of course there were no other troops nearby, i mean who would attack such a far away village... It was harvest season and the kingdom really needed the food though, so they sent us there. Our scouts reported a sighting of bandit warband, their numbers to be in hundreds. There were only 25 of us... and of course the 5 dozen peasants. Fleeing would mean certain death. The king would make sure of that.
Our men were trembling. Sure, we had the technological advantage. Sure we were better trained. But that didnt warm our hearts at all... It would be 2 days until they reached the village, and it fell to me to train the peasants into an able militia. Our officer and rest of the men build hasty defences around the village, creating a tunnel to funnel the enemy into. I whipped as many peasants into decent fighting shape as is humanly possible in 2 days. I taught them to stab with their "polearms" at command and to hold their ground. To take care of the man besides them. The glory of fighting under good leadership. We prevailed. The bandits had never seen anything like it. Some of them managed to escape, but only because we let them.
Player: 1: That sounds amazing. How come youre standing around in a tavern then?
            2: Quite the story. Too bad i dont believe it. Bye. (End conversation)
Hames: Well, lets just say that we happened to be on the wrong side on our last conflict... Now im looking for a company where i might actually live to see the first paycheck.
Player: 1: I would be interested in hiring you and i can quarantee that death is not my goal.
            2: Well, good luck in your search. Bye. (End conversation)
Hames 1 Great! then my standard hiring fee would be x denars. (no idea how much, slightly more than the cost of his equipment prolly so you cant just strip him and profit)
            2: Haha, is that a joke? A woman leading a company, oh my... (end conversation) (only triggered if pc is female.)
Player: 1: Here's the money. (hire Hames)
            2: That's way too much for you. (end conversation)

Sir, can i talk to you about something? (this is the line Hames approaches the player with, pc can say yes or no or however the dialogue works with vanilla companions, cant remember.)

About Lezalit: Sir, i have to say that Lezalit has proven to be a worthy companion, one of the best i have met infact. He knows how to keep the men in line. I know he can seem almost cruel sometimes, but he gets results.

About John Fisher: Sir, with all due respect, this John Fisher doesnt seem like a trustworthy fellow. I mean he is always drunk and he even dares to ask you to supply him his ale!? I have to admit that he has some guts, but his complete disregard for discipline is outrageous!

About any female companion: I cant understand why companionX is with us, sir. Women are good for many things and fighting is not one of them. Battlefield is a place for men, virtue and valor, not for wenches to dance around in their skirts. Having a woman around with this many men has a bad impact on discipline too.

Failed to complete a mission: Sir, i know you must have a reason for doing that, but remember that your inability to complete a task given to you will have consequences. You will lose some of your believability in the eyes of your men, and your honour will be tarnished. I hope you remember that in the future.

Fisher: ...Yes?
Player: Uh, hello there, i was just wondering who a man dressed like you might be?
Fisher: Me? John Fisher, mercenary. You hiring?
Player: 1: As a matter of fact, i am. Care to tell me something about yourself?
            2: No, not a drunk like you atleast... (end conversation)
Fisher: *deep sigh* Very well. Was a commander of a small company, partake in a war. Things didnt go as planned. Men died, like they always do. Now im here, drinking ale and waiting.
Player: ...What is it that you are waiting for?
Fisher: For someone to hire me, isnt that obvious? Damn, it's pretty weird how a skilled warrior like me cant seem to find a job around here...
Player: 1: Well, i am looking for competent companions on my travels, anything you truly excel at?
            2: Yeah, it's pretty weird. Bye. (end conversation)
Fisher: *sigh* well, i am a skilled swordsman, usually fight from horseback when im *cough* sober enough *cough*. I can handle myself in a fight, altough my skills are slightly rusty from all this sitting around...
Player: 1: Well, that sounds good enough for me. I would like to hire you.
            2: You know what? get ouf of my face, smelly bastard. (end conversation)
Fisher: You do? Well then, only a small problem at this moment. I have been drinking here for some time now and i owe some money to the tavern keeper here... just a small amount... x denars (i have no idea how much this should be, considering the equipment he starts with. However in my opinion it should be atleast around 10 000 +-5000.)
Player: 1: x Denars!?! Very well, i hope you know that i will make you work for this. (player hires Fisher)
            2: x Denars?!? Now thats a whole lotta didley! There's no way you are worth that much. (player refuses to hire Fisher)
            3: Say what? I dont have that kind of money on me. (player has not enough money)
Fisher: Great! thanks for this, i really need this. Oh and... this is kinda akward... could you bring some ale on our on the travels? I think that my "efficiency" might drop if i go long without it... you know, just to keep my feet warm out there? Actually... here, take this, bought it earlier. Kinda running low though. Yeah, there, thanks. SO, give me a minute and ill be right with you!

Conversation ends here.

So, this is a rough dialogue i came up with. Decent stuff at best. Fisher has drank buttload of ale these recent years and his speaking is pretty much unaffected by now. Well, he becomes more talkative when drunk, as clearly seen here. More of his personality is to be shown after you have travelled some time with him or, like with the existing companions, when you get near some village/castle/town. Also Fisher will come to ask your name sometime after you have hired him. ill come up with that dialogue later. Sleepy now.

Also, i think that Fisher should give you one barrel of ale when you hire him. However, this barrel should be something like 5-10/50, John consuming one-two unit(s) per day (this could be random if possible, also would be awesome to have him consume 3 on some day (like 5% chance)and him being unable to ride his horse that day).
