Wanted: Nemesis
I've been trying to think of ways to spice up my life. I'm 36 years old, happily married with two kids and I have a job that pays the bills.
But something is missing.
I feel like I'm old before my time. I need to inject some excitement into my daily routine before its too late and I find myself unable to become excited at all. I need a challenge, something to get the adrenaline pumping again. Sure, an addiction would fit the bill, but, it is a little late for me to be "experimenting" with drugs and it is just not my style.
What I need is a nemesis.
I need someone to steal my parking space, knock my coffee over, trip me when I'm running to catch the train and occasionally exclaim: "Ahha, we meet again." That sort of thing. Just keep me on my toes as complacency will be the death of me.
As my potential nemesis, you will need to have an evil streak and be blessed with innate guile, cunning and manic dedication to thwarting my daily efforts. Mercilessness is a plus, especially if you have adopted it as a cognomen, e.g., "Mike the Merciless." Further, if you choose the "hands on" approach, hand-to-hand combat skills are a must. Evil laugh mandatory, British accent preferred.
Send me a photo and a brief explanation why you would be a good nemesis.

Of course experiencing the true power of a nemisis will be difficult for you. The major impediment to the realization of this nemisis threat is your posession of a shield bearer. Viking Lords always had a shiled bearer to protect their flank or when they were exposed as they were striking. Your shield bearer would be on the lookout for this nemisis and thwart all attemps of your demise. Of course you could dismiss your shield bearer to take on your nemisis full bore for the sport of it, but remember you are never fully unprotected.
