Further pondering, is a prince able to order a great lord around?

That's less cut and dry.

Short answer? Depends on the Prince. (You wouldn't see Tommen Baratheon ordering much of anyone around. But Prince Rhaegar? Now that's different.)

Heya - I'm still deliberating on what House/Character(s) to make.

I was thinking about claiming the Redwynnes, as well as a Dornish bastard (if Sini is still game for that), but does anyone have any great need for some Bannermen/Supporting Characters? I'm flexible, and don't really mind what I'm playing, at this point.

And #1 or #3 sounds cool.

Name: Unknown, called The Mad Orphan
Age: Unknown
Appearance:



Personality:

While the man the few Dornish that know of he and his band call the Mad Orphan has made the name his own, he has been quick to point out to those he bothers to speak to that he is not mad. That it's everyone else in Creation who has lost their wits, either growing passive and enabling the constant abuse a hypocritical society heaps upon them, or becoming obsessed with silly things that hold no true meaning, like gold and power. Armed with a dark superficial charm that has converted many and more of the bewildered and battered peasants of Dorne (thanks in large part to the recent Civil War) to his twisted visions, the man is a terrifying psychopath that most only see as purely chaotic and impulsive. And though he may initially seem reckless and capricious, many of his crimes take extraordinary planning abilities, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to defer gratification. A fact none but his most fanatical followers seemed to have realized yet.

Though a self described agent of chaos who wants nothing more than to show every man, woman, and child how base and cruel Creation truly is, the Mad Orphan's actions are designed to create a particular impression, an impression that puts those he targets at a disadvantage: that he's strange and unpredictable, beyond a sane man's comprehension. That you never know how far he'll push something, so underestimate him at your own peril.

Those who have seen him tell of a wiry, often robed, figure touched by the greyscale that moves in quick fidgets and edgy mannerisms that put even those that follow him in a constant state of uncertainty and apprehension.

Bio:

As the mad man is known to tell differing tales of his past every time the subject is broached, he either truly believes each new twisted tale of his origin himself as a condition of his madness, or he is a compulsive liar. He appears heavily trained with most weapons, holds the skills of an expert in alchemy and apothecary, and has the ability to find, isolate, and manipulate a target with the practice of an old Spy Master.

His true allegiances and purposes remain unknown even to those closest to him, and like who he is and where he came from may never be known. He and his followers seem quite capable of winning smallfolk to their side via numerous manipulations (from bribery to a sense of empowering the lowborn), though in the heart of Dorne where only sand, sun, scorpions, and snakes reside their ability to appear from the deserts and disappear back into the deserts again at the drop of a cap only seems to add to the Mad Orphan's mystery, and the level of fear he can inspire in low and high born alike.

Hey! My Ventrue!

He looks/sounds a bit like a mix of Lawrence of Arabia and the Joker.

An Orphan!

What a coininkidink!

Last night I had an epiphany as to how I was going to run the character sheet process, what with the guild not yet supporting the index manner we used before (or at least, not easily) so new plan:

The link below is for house/character sheets that have yet to be accepted, essentially any which are not in the list in the first post of the ooc. Only place them in there once they are finished, before then, feel free to post and edit them in the OOC, they just won't be accepted yet.

Pending Character Sheets

The link below is for house/character sheets which have been accepted, i.e. any which are found on the list on the first post of the ooc, even if obviously their sheets have been redone due to the crash.

Accepted Character Sheets

Hey, that's handy. I just finished my sheet, so I'll go drop it in there.

House Caron of Nightsong is accepted and has been added to the list in the OP, feel free to post the sheet to the accepted thread now (quick turnaround because the morning leaves me nothing else to do).

I think I'm gonna have to leave this one be mate. Just not feeling it sorry :(

That's a real shame, was looking forwards to our new wave of players, but, that said, it's important to have motivation for these things, just know you can always come back and throw down a sheet whenever, I tend never to close recruiting for these.

EDIT: House Tyrell is now free, Kingfisher will be applying for House Rayne.

Reyne the Red Lions?

Ha. Good.

I'm not even 100% certain I'll use him. He's from an earlier game, from the same brain space as the Atilliator.

I figured it was that mad monk guy, slaughtering people.

Yep. If I use him, it'll be to give Vittoria something to do.

Yeah sorry mate, I just know from experience that if I tried to stick it out the quality just wouldn't be there. If I get a burst of Rping desire I shall come back though.

@Whoever takes the Tyrells now that they are open: Please have them still enter the Dance of Dragons on the blacks side, otherwise I'll have to rewrite my entire sheet again for a fourth time. Thank you! ^_^

P.S: If you don't have them on the blacks side, I'll need to talk to you so we can figure out what happened then.

@ Serp, if that is the case, a regional civil war wouldn't be unlikely, so no matter what happens with the Tyrells, you have options. :)

Alright, will do.

Slow turnaround on my response because I've been working on a sheet for another RP.

Jorick, your sig...it makes me giggle.
