I'm quite interested. This could be pretty unique if done right.

If you're going with a Mafia/Vegas type, I'm imagining the brothers of the Night's Watch, instead of being a family, more so being along the lines of a private security firm or mercenaries.

Also Hi Steph!

Wouldn't that sort of make them really badass rather than the run-down and altogether shitty tone they have in the books? Granted I'm turning the Martells into a damn drug cartel, but would anybody really be calling in mercenaries? But more importantly, what would they actually do other than just being mercenaries? It's not like they have any wildlings to go murder.

I personally like this idea.
We can always invert ideas from the books, as Tensai points out that the Nights Watch are supposed to be marginalised individuals.
They could, instead, be the security in the Casino's, as I was also thinking that the Kingsguard could be a security firm that the Lannisters (Or whoever sits a top the Vegas/Mafia 'throne' or hierarchy) would hire in to protect them from the others.

Also, Hi X! It's been a while!!

Not necessarily. I could say something along the lines of them having just returned from the middle east, their numbers are down, they're tired and really just need to settle for a bit but their leader keeps hiring them out for other jobs. Due to this the "brothers" may have conflicting interests and ideologies. Besides, I never explicitly said they would be mercenaries, they could just as easily be another gang. I was really just spitballing. If I were to do it, I would be focusing more on developing the characters rather than the whole conflict with the wildings, This is AU after all.

The Sand Snakes are the bastard daughters of Prince Oberyn Martell of Sunspear (Dorne). Victarion Greyjoy is Balon Greyjoy's younger brother who is the commander of the Iron Fleet.

But I bet you've watched the series. I haven't, and I'm not going to until I've read the books first.

And I know who the Greyjoys are but not the Martells.

That's awfully poo-pooy of you (family saying, I know it's weird.) I hadn't heard of A Song of Ice and Fire until Season 1 had come out and I pretty much devoured the books after the first few episodes.

I doubt you know the Greyjoys outside of Theon's inner monologues about them in Clash, unless of course you're at Feast, in which case excuse my ignorance.

But good sir, I'm sad to hear you haven't yet met the awesomeness personified that is House Martell/Dorne in general. I at least hope you've seen Oberyn in the books, since he's the one House Martell will be focused around in this seeing as Doran's busy having gout. Which I hope isn't too big a spoiler but y'know.

No bother, three character limit it is. Will you have an OOC post up soon or at least the template for the character sheets?

I'm tempted to have Joffrey as Cersei's young son, but I was wondering what you all think of that. Because of the age changes, with people wanting characters like Sansa and Margeary, would it work? I only want Cersei as her mid-twenties. Do you think I should just leave him as an open character and if someone wants, they can make him but as a cousin or other relation to the Lannisters?

Awesome. And I'm working on it now, I'm just going to have tea and then I'll finish it. No promises because I've got revision to do, but I will try and have it up tonight. It's cool that we wont be starting until after next monday though, right? That's the date of my final exam.

I'm sure that'll be ok, I mean an OOC is for discussion anyway so we can hash things like the Joffrey situation while we wait :)

Plus you know if you need a hand with the CS template and all that stuff I'd be more than willing to help. Old friend discount and all that haha

I think I will pass it over to you and ask you what you think, I'm forever either over-doing it or missing things. I like writing my own CS's, but making a template for people to follow is difficult because I don't really like doing it myself :P

Hey, guys. Just wanted to clear something up. When I said, maximum 3 characters, they don't have to be from the same house. In truth, it's better if they're not so that new people who come into the RP can chose from a variety of houses and alliances. I think there's been a slight misunderstanding; we, as players, aren't taking on a whole house to play. For example, I'll be playing Cersei and I could also chose Shae and Robb, if I wanted.

I don't know if anyone actually thought this, but this was the vibe I was getting and just wanted to clear it up.
