[OOC] Blood Runs Over Westeros: A Game of Thrones RP

[FourtyTwo]

Holy, shitballs. Yes. I am amazed I haven't even pinched some bits of GoT's OST for use in bits of my post.

Strangely enough, if the whole RP felt episodic, I weirdly feel that our last few would have made for a pretty good Episode 3, tbh. Not sure why, but combined, somehow, it...I can't explain it :P

On a lighter note, this. It's something about the way it opens up...with fucking AC/DC and Winterfell in the distance.

EDIT:

Also, this. Fuck, it's the most terrifyingly funny Rom-Com I've ever seen, staring Littlefinger:

@agentmanatee You asked for it, you monster.

[FourtyTwo]

Hmm, Garland will have a visit. This is something that no doubt, may actually prove to be quite interesting- I want to see what happens when the power dynamics shift. It's actually going to be a little surprising, as the trial might not actually take place in Highgarden...but rather, with your permission Blue, I want to have Daenys taken elsewhere, to a particular place for him to see not Garland's judgement accompanies by either himself or a rep of the Tyrell family, yet this would be with a different Lord's, and potentially a Princess's. Somewhere.

XD so it now stands as follows

Blackcloaks - 0 (all dead)

Whitecloaks - 4 (Wilas not in, 2 dead)

Brightcloaks - 3 (no casualties, still growing)

[Bluetommy]

@kingkonrad That's fine with me.

[Bluetommy]

@agentmanatee Blackcloaks:

[FourtyTwo]

Haha. Well, that went to shit.

@bluetommy2

Yeah, like I said, it's Garland's high and mighty version of justice, not "BRING ME HIS HEAD!". Definitely going to be an interesting set of collabs...because it will involve a third RPer.

[Abefroeman]

Going to be TDY for the next month, so will be busier than normal. I will do my best to still post, and I am working with Kingkonrad with a collab, and anyone else who would like to do so, in order to put out my next post.

[Major Ursa]

I'm working on my own post now. It's been a while, correct me if there are any mistakes. Putting a small side character posse in Oldtown.

Man, half asleep when I post...so I do expect X amount of mistakes on my part.
e_e

[Bluetommy]

@Major Ursa I didn't see any.

[FourtyTwo]

My posts are littered with them. It's soooo much energy to go back through them, mind. That little Oldtown posse is quite interesting, especially what you did with the Forresters. Definitely a likeable family, albeit a bit Northern.

[FourtyTwo]

Hmm...I'm half tempted to make a couple of characters. One being Lord Loras, who I have mentioned a lot prior, and another as a particular guard of Garland's- an elite archer of sorts, a la Quiver from the GOT Telltale series. Not sure about the latter, but this would be someone who'd definitely offer another flavor to the traditional plate you've seen among the Reachmen of my type. Double post, I know- Blue, anything that you would generally need from me, generally character wise or for anything else?

[Bluetommy]

@kingkonrad You go right ahead.

I do adore these series, simply because if you want to know every little detail about a House, or a region, this does the trick...plus you know, the voiceovers are always excellent. Comparing Garland, he's not your typical thick-headed male member of the family as I think it would have been in times past, but it definitely shows that Alerie is the one to watch; the family's been technically matriarchal, for crying out loud. Just as they say though...just ask the Gardeners how being a loyal steward went for the Tyrells.

I'll get to work, it'll be WIP till further notice.

[FourtyTwo]

Hmm...we haven't heard a lot from the North and Ironborn lately. Guys, I know you were pretty pissed at each other, but hey, it was interesting reading, take some of the limelight for yourselves :)

[Major Ursa]

...I ship them.
I ship them so hard.
B:
But no, they had an interesting thing going on ICly. I'd like to see more of that.

[FourtyTwo]

Oh definitely. I've laid out two characters thus far- and might add a third, all of whom are quite short. Lyanna is actually quite different to any Olenna from GoT- she's reclusive, while Loras is going to be a pretty oafish character- he's not stupid, but he isn't exactly smart, and knows only just how to keep the cogs ticking over in Garland's absence without everything falling to shit. I want to maybe make another character, though again, while it is tempting to make a warrior of a character, I can't help but feel it's an arms race at times. I might make him an archer, but then again, I dunno what I will do with him.

[Major Ursa]

@kingkonradArms race?

[FourtyTwo]

@Major Ursa

Just...well, I don't want to develop a character for the sheer purpose of having them counter another character's in a vague form, it sounds strange but say, if I were to make a particularly important guard to Garland, they'd be there because of either an interaction with Garland or other characters, such as the way I did Willas. I don't want to feel like I want to make a character purely because the Tyrells need some talented archer or swordsman who can go toe to toe with another, if that makes sense.

To be honest, it was a little strongly worded, and I think I didn't really intend to say it that way, and I reckon I take part of that back. But it's that general gist- I want to try and experiment with more interesting characters that are a little different, such as Rickard, and soon, Lyanna and perhaps Loras.

Also, it would be interesting to see House Clegane right now. If there's a Mountain that rides or not, whatever the fuck that family must be up to should be fun.

Hi, can I play?
