Well, didn't Dwarmin says he'd deal with that?

[mainiac]

I'll create a character tonight methinks.

[Lucus Casius]

Well, didn't Dwarmin says he'd deal with that?

With the flaws and benefits and stuff?  Yeah, if you don't have the book and pick them yourself.  I could help you choose them as well based on what you tell me about your character, if you want.

[Sheb]

Well, he's a rich kid that had his position bought by a father who dreams of climbing the social ladder. He was used to being the alpha guy around before starting squiring and resent the way highborn folks treat him, causing him to be arrogant and feeling he has to prove his worth.

On the other hand, he is very kind to nobles that treat him as an equal.

[scriver]

So, Dwarmin... I just noticed this bit in the book where it says you don't buy your Status points like with other skills?

[Sheb]

I updated my sheet a bit, added fluff.

[scriver]

First version of sheet. I made this assuming we're a minor house and that the guy is somewhere down the line in inheritance, perhaps the younger of a bunch of brothers or the nephew of the Lord or such. If we end up with a bigger house I will reroll probably into someone in the household, I don't want to have to spend all my points on Status - this is why I changed my mind to thinking creating the House before the characters would have been a better way of doing things.

So, Dwarmin, do we discuss personality and flaws and such over irc? Without knowing where we'll end up I only have some rough sketches of the character, as I might want to change things depending on regionality. The core of him is pretty universal, though, yet again, it precludes some elements of the greater House and it's members.

[Tiruin]

Right! So Taricus is helping me wth my sheet. Will post it later!

[Lucus Casius]

So, Dwarmin... I just noticed this bit in the book where it says you don't buy your Status points like with other skills?

You do, it's just that status has a few more requirements for purchase than other skills.

As for you, Sheb... I'd suggest the Wealthy and/or Head for Numbers benefits (probably more the former than the latter), as well as maybe Lucky, Evaluation, Connections, or Stubborn.

[mainiac]

A heads up, I'm making a thief character, a character of very noble blood but very little inheritance who uses her lineage to be quite successful at cat burglary.

Character history:
Elise Horn is the only child of a pair of noble fools who managed to displease both their families due to love. (Arria Rockhearth, "the Ice Rose") ran away at the alter from a marriage to a Frey son and instead married a respected but land poor knight of House Horn (Garth Horn "the noble fool").  This resulted in Elise being raised in Kings Landing despite her being a member of house Rockhearth so far in the north.  This lead to Elise growing up with her parents at Kings Landing due to the married couple being estranged from both their families.  It was only after Garth Horn fought heroically in Roberts Rebellion that the northmen forgave their daughter for her choice.  Sadly that war would prove to be the end of house horn for Garth was the only one who joined Roberts side and the last member of the line is Elise.

During the war Elise was living in poor conditions in Kings Landing while her father was with Robert and her mother had traveled North.  During that time she fell in with a sophisticated gang of criminals who stole treasures from high class society without a trace.  Elise was able to move freely through high society due to her grooming even if she lacked wealth and became quite skilled at theft.  She saw the thefts as her own small way at striking against royalist tyranny.

After the war the last surviving heir of House Horn was Elise's father Garth and he was in good graces with the crown.  A tidy little position was found for him and Elise finally got a taste of high society.  She was addicted to the thrill of low society however and still dabbled in her clandestine activities.  But with Garth's passing it seemed appropriate for Arria and Elise to go north and join take their place among House Rockhearth.  Between Garth's heroism and Elise's role as the heiress of what remained of the House Horn lands, they were welcome once again.  For the past two years Elise has been adjusting to the ways of the Northmen.

Ah, and sudden thought, rereading the house creation rules.  You might want to play a bit "fast and loose" with them.  My personal advise would be, if you want to roll for LOCATION, roll two or three times and allow the players to pick from the results (then do the rest normally).  Further, when we purchase terrain, don't necessarily restrict the players to the listed choices for each realm.  The Riverlands do have coastline, after all, and it's not as if the Reach is entirely devoid of hilly areas.

We can do it over PM's, but it seems we'll have to wait till the House is completed for people to fluff up their sheets, yes.

We've got enough players, so I'll start putting the house creation thread up now.

Yeah, my idea too. Thanks for your help too, Lucus.

[Harry Baldman]

Here's the concept I've got thus far. Hideously minmaxed, I'm afraid, but that ties in with the concept, so... well, take a look.

Oh, wait, did I miss the signups?

[Lucus Casius]

Yeah, my idea too. Thanks for your help too, Lucus.

Not a problem.

Oh, wait, did I miss the signups?

Don't think so.  We're just getting the House stuff done concurrently with the rest of the player applications.

Edit:  I uh, should note.  A person with language one can barely comprehend the language.  And unless I've done calculations incorrectly, you've spent 10 exp more than a person your age should have (though that's admittedly pretty easy to fix, just drop a rank 3 skill back down to 2).

[Sheb]

Well, he's playing a deaf mute illiterate. And I think you did miss the sign-up.
