[Superman6352]

(( Looking for writers. ))

I'm looking to do a roleplay based on the Hbo series Game of thrones. I haven't read the books yet but I like the series.

I'm not looking to use the characters from the show but plan to make up ones and make our own story.

If you are interested or have some questions feel free to post or pm me.

Btw I am planing on being lord of the north just so everyone knows ahead of time.

I'd be quite intrested in joining (I'm a big fan of the books myself... though I can't afford premium channels). I tend to lean more towards the less majorish nobles... perhaps a Stormlands second son who's trained at the Alchemist Guild. They do have quite a few secrets, you know. (Nothing magical... but they know quite a bit more then just wildfire. Things the Maester's would never dare to work with.)

And I like your idea swordandsandle. I think that would work well.

 

[swordandsandle]

I do as well. Hopefully, we'll find some more intrested parties.

Mayhaps this would go better if we had some more concreate framework for it? I have a few suggestions.

The story should run parrallel to to the national events taking place in the books and show, but not be the same as them. Where is the creatvity in that? I propose a starting situation somewhat more minor in nature then a Hand of the King. Perhaps it starts with a trade agreement between two Houses? Or an attempt to collectivly politically stablize a region, pushed onto weaker authroities as the Crowns and Leiges have more important things to take care of? Of course, I woulden't want to make something too noble-excluisve. Smallfolk should get a chance to step in too. Here's a general synopsis of my character's house; maybe that will spawn some ideas.

House Algarith
Realm: The Crownlands. Therefore, reflexivly sworn to House Bartheon and King Robert. However, in all technicallity, the family is still bound by blood oaths to House Targaryen, leading to a rather unplesent politcal position.

Location: The southern regions of Crackleclaw Point

Arms: Purple Dragon, Guardant and statant, on a silver feild (bronze chevron). The crest also used to depict with agreen doe, reclinant, at the dragon's feet, but this was removed as a gesture of co-operation after the Stag sat on the throne.

Motto: Blood of my Brothers

At a Glance:

Defences: The seat of House Algarith, Brother's Arms, is a fairly well fortified location, located a few miles inland from Blackwater Bay. It is an old, grey stone keep, set into the cleft of a fair sized hill, with solid walls and a strong gate. It's twin towers, Left Arm and Right Arm, are in need of some work, but the outer wall has been refitted in the past season.

Influence: Minor. Algarith was a strong freind to House Targaryen for most of their reign, and once had a strong presence at both Dragonstone and King's Landing. However, since the war, they have felt a strong hit to their ability to polotic, with their loyality still in question.

Lands: The Algarith lands are fairly wide, fertile, and extremely hilly. While they don't have any mines worth speaking of, their farming and fishing go quite well. They also control one of the best ports on the Point, and so deal with the majority of sea trade coming into and out of the lands there.

Law: The Lords have always kept a strong grip on their lands; indeed, they are well known for their stability in the face of their chaotic neighbors. Things did slip a little, but have been recovering quickly.

Population: Strong.

Power: Ever since the war, the Algarith guerdsmen; accepting their Brothersguerd unit (One of the oldest military organizations still operating in Westros, with no period of unexistance), have been cut, so as not to seem as a threat or future add to any dragons that might pop up.

Wealth: While extrmely wealthy compared to their neighbors, Algarith lies within one of the poorer regions of Westros, and its standings reflect that. While not meager, the gold available to their lords and people are much less then a similer sized holding in better lands would allow. They also have a long, outstanding loan they plan on collecting.... nobody is quite sure who its too, but they know the influx of Dragons would be worth it.

Personalities

Lord: Baldwinn Algarith, Age 44

Lady: Currently none. The last Lady, Hellin, thirteen years ago, of a bad case of Greyscale.

Heir: Ser Domen, Age 22. A well meaning man, with a good head, strong arm, and noble heart, but unable to grasp sublty.

Son: Acoylete Calyth, Age 19. Currently studying at the Alchemist Guild in King's Landing. A talented herbalist, with a very attractive presence and leading personality. Has heart issues that make any talent in swordsplay (on indeed most other physical activies) an impossablity

Daughter: Tabith, Age 15. The pinnicle of old social graces. A lady in every sense of the term, she also shows the most of the family's Valyren blood.

Son: Aemon, Age 11. Currently serving as a page in Aryyan lands. Very curious and energetic, but like his eldest brother also extremely blunt.

Daughter: Isabelle, Age 8. Very much a younger verson of her sister, except that insteed of seeking to attract and assit men, she's virtually mortified of them. Very fond of the color black... nobody is quite sure.


History: Will write.

I'm hoping to have a bio up within the next few days.

I apologize for my lack of posts. Been busy recently.

And as for swordandsandle's idea. I like you idea so far but we need to include the darthraki in some way.
