ASOIAF RPG-An End to Summer (Character Creation-Full)
« on: November 04, 2014, 12:08:13 pm »

This is the character sign-ups for my ASOIAF RPG, which is set in Westeros during the War of the Five Kings-players take the roles of members and friends of a royal house during the Game of Thrones...note, first the characters are being chosen and created here, then the players are designing a House.

We're using the Mythweavers Song of Ice and Fire sheets, the alpha versions. -->http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets

I'm obviously choosing the better written sheets over the reserved ones. :P

No need to rush.

So here is my first draft.

The idea is to have the scion of a successful trading family whose father dream of climbing the social ladder and lent enough money to a lord to have him take on his son as a squire. He's looked down by his fellow squire and deeply resent it, but is otherwise a nice bloke that would much rather have kept the family business if it was not for his father's fancy.

According to the books, "infant" is a valid option.

So I'm starting to think not creating the House first might've been a mistake.

Yeah, it's kinda weird, creating a character without knowing the background.

I don't know what your guys' problem is. The house has little effect on what your characters do after all.

He's looked down by his fellow squire and deeply resent it, but is otherwise a nice bloke that would much rather have kept the family business if it was not for his father's fancy.

..This is an empty sheet!

And remember, we are using the alpha version of the mythweavers sheets.

So I'm starting to think not creating the House first might've been a mistake.

Maybe...but, I'm just asking for personality now, and basic character stuff. You can finetune it after the House is done. I'm really just looking for the things  I mentioned-motivations, life goals, virtues and vices. Those will be universal, whatever house you eventually create. I'm really just interested in vetting players at this point.

For example, Kyle (KJ) is pretty simple-he likes to fight, and drink, and wench. After we are done with his house, he can go back and make it more interesting, but that's the framework of his character. He doesn't really have to write more than that, right now.

Also, I'm going to update the OP with all the specialty choices, and descriptions of the more obscure ones. I was thinking last night that was probably the most hazy part.

May post a sheet tomorrow evening, or the day after that. Depends on how the workload treats me, oh yes.

Is literally not knowing anything about A Song of Ice and Fire aside from who wrote it and that it exists a problem?

I count as more if you enjoy the genre, and understand the general setting. Some wiki-diving will probably suffice to teach you the basics, and I'm always here to help with lore...

Really though, you should read the books. :P They're awesome.
