@MrDidact I've started writing a post for my new character but I'll probably need some help along the way.

@AtomicNut I'd still like at least a bit of an overview for Colin and his son. Colin is a book character but there's very little known about him. Even just lines about his loyalty or his reliability would be fine.

-groans- This is why I played no houses until now. Tempted to just bin it and play another separate character.

If they're just going to be side characters there's no need, if you intend them to be major POVs then an overview is needed.

@AtomicNut@MrDidact

Welcome to my world, House Tyrell is relatively broad but try writing ALL of it. There's five main characters I follow around (and that's not properly counting Amber Redwyne in Alerie's service, who I should do a CS for but don't, nor Alys ((youngest sister of Merlin/Ellion/Alerie) who is 13, yet is insignificant as she's just a girl in learning, not crucial to the schemes or ploys of the House)- and that covers pretty much the main branch of the family, the rest don't get covered because they won't add much, or shouldn't need to. The trick is to understand that it's got to have depth alongside breadth- writing detail to understand the inner workings of a house, and why characters in this chaotic, dynamic feedback loop think they way they do, and use what they have to get what they're looking for. Ellion likes to be a general prick, while Willas has the capacity to rule with kindness yet pragmatism that gets shit done. It's giving them depth yet the breadth that weaves them together as characters (see the interactions between Alerie and Ellion for that matter), and giving even just overviews or general development into each character as a cohesive whole is difficult to do. I enjoy it though- I really like playing the Tyrells to be honest, but I do feel like I should venture outside my comfort zone and write up another character at some point who's a bit more edgy/has nothing to lose.

I'm going to try to write a solo post today, as I can't collab at all with people (at an event)- something to give Merlin's perspective I feel.

i think imma chuck florents in the bin and just play someone who bought the Baelish lands at bargain bin price. Very small house and less problems.

Or just make old Colin all cranky and antagonist against Garland (he refused to step down as Brightwater castellan when the castle was granted to the Tyrell) and his son being more sensical.

@AtomicNut

It was granted to Garlan because half the Florents ripped themselves apart in a pretty bitter war (ie. going with Stannis), and in that sort of situation, I imagine Garlan wouldn't have half treated him well or would have killed him when coming to basically claim it :P . He is a pleasant person most of the time, but if someone is in his way, Reachman or otherwise, I'd imagine something would have gone down.

Ah, I give up on House Florent. I'll start from scratch on something else, at most a single character.

@kingkonrad I don't imagine Garlan had time to claim it though, he couldn't have taken it before the Ironborn started invading the Reach and they had bigger problems. Then cue Dany and Aegon landing and the Tyrells probably would have jumped off the Lannister train pretty soon.

@AtomicNut Very well.

@Abefroeman You still around Abe?

@Monochromatic Rainbow Perhaps we can work on a collab.

Could do, mayhap. Been struggling through some writer's block, mainly.

@AtomicNut It looks good, my question would be how Gregor would know that Tyrion is his father since he was born before the end of the series and he had no acknowledged bastards by then. And it seems unlikely for him to be stripped of a chain for sleeping with someone. Qyburn was stripped of his chain for performing unsanctioned experiments and plenty of Maesters use whores. It'd make more sense if the shame simply forced Gregor to abandon his chain. Maybe he didn't even complete a chain and gave it up because of the celibacy.

Okay, i added a couple of events.

He doesn't truly know that Tyrion's his father. Just that he's born from a Lannister nobleman.

Also he quit the chain cause the thrill of adventure and women.

@AtomicNut Accepted. I would consider making Gregor blonde to emphasize his Lannister heritage and to make it more likely that he is a known bastard. Also we don't have very many blondes in the RP haha.

Who's available for a collab? We need to get moving on some pirate action.
