Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

@MrDidact

It's curious, because I always thought the Tyrells only had brown eyes, but as it turns out, it's almost a golden sort of glint that some of them have (particularly in this canon, Alerie and Ellion do), and that is something that is a rather interesting tidbit to have. Contrasts the purple Targaryens, while being a bit different to the rest of Westeros, for some reason.

Post is coming along, it's got a lot of "N'awww" moments in it. Heartwarming shit, because I swear to god, we need this now before major lovable PCs get fucking merked in completely undeserving ways and some fade-to-black/implied sexys happen. This wouldn't be a Game of Thrones roleplay without Kleenex, let's be honest (double meaning there, haha), so I'm getting this out of me so I get bored and at some point, just let the total fucking moral decay take full hold :D

@MrDidact@NecroKnight

Ditto. I mean, I don't like it when shit gets overtly fantastical, and GoT to me, even when it's got a lot of magic, feels very mysterious and very sort of....well, go look at Melisandre, because that is meant to be how it's executed in some ways- it makes no sense, because we can't logically comprehend it, it defies the very fundamentals that any character comes to understand...this doesn't feel like that, it feels a little too upfront, though that's my view. The Tyrells' and their greenhand (with roses) makes sense, in the same way perhaps the Starks are with direwolves and such- it's borderline, it almost isn't really magic, it's just a trait or a resistance in blood, but I can't help but feel that it doesn't really connect in really....no matter if it is OP or not, it's just, it feels to me that a female Knight from the riverlands who happens to be a one in a million on a lot of other things, is like that. I'd imagine just as said, that magic has to come with an enormous cost, or just really be scaled back- it doesn't feel at all like it's a very additive thing.

Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know, but all I can say is, from my personal view on things, I built the characters I use, both OC and non-OC as being total strangers to magic, to being deep characters I can ply and play in a political and personal sense, and that even goes for people like Ellion, which I feel is what GoT tries to tell- a very sort of intimate, close-in story, rather than looking at a reliance on a gift- which can in it's own, really turn out to be a horrid, horrid curse (reference: Thoros of Myr). It's difficult that one- but I mean, it could be done a little better, or it doesn't really add worth, to what is already a formidable female character.

Ellion's gonna feel on top of the world, but there is going to be something in the future that's gonna kick him in the balls for his cockiness, methinks. Alerie is also incredibly deceptive- if you think Jaehaerys is the only person she's gonna lead, watch what she can do, I really do want her to play people against each other....well, particular men that is :D

@MrDidact

Awesome shit. I saw some of the supernatural- it is definitely curious, and while I'm never a huge fan, I'd almost be tempted to play a bit of a lore with the newer Tyrells that they're resistant to the thorns and cutting nature of say, a rosebush, as a weird trait they have as keen gardeners (something with Merlin in particular). If it doesn't fit, then no worries- but it's something I played with in the last GoT RP.

I'll work on a response soonish.

@DrunkasaurusRex

I'm very on the fence about doing a jousting collab with yourself- part of me wants to do it, though I wouldn't know how to write an outcome to it all without him seeming too dominant or negating the battle of him and Viserys.

@MrDidact

Pretty much. Respond to Willas/Alerie if you like btw as a short post, I think Abe wants to do a convo with me and actually has a titanpad prepped for the posting?

@MrDidact

Hence my creation of Willas, Alerie, Merlin and Garlan as characters who offset my one that is :P

@MrDidact

More to do if, say, a Targaryen and a Non-Targaryen rode one. (ask Abe, he knows ;) )

Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

@MrDidact I also wanted to ask because I'm curious. How much Dragon lore have the Targaryans recovered? there are several key things specifically I'd like to know if the historians would know and any charcters would know.

1. Targaryen's aren't fire proof
2. A dragon due to it's long life can have many riders
3. That not all Targaryen's can ride dragon
4. that riding another person's dragon is a suicide (I recognize this contradicts 2)
5. That anyone with targaryen blood including Tyrion can attempt to tame and ride a dragon

@Masterkeun

As an additional note, are dragons comfortable with non-Targaryen passengers?

I could do a collab with ya btw, but I'm not sure how to work the setup of it all, and whether or not Ellion does any more fighting is really dependent on if the GM wants to keep things moving, which I'd be inclined to given that I want Ellion to do some non-martial things.

Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

Not sure if I should, or shouldn't post. I don't know how much longer Willas is gonna talk to Tyrion, and if I'm leaving Alerie for a little while, but I know there's something I can do with Ellion. Not sure if I want him to keep jousting or not, or throw him to the melee- he's good for either I imagine.

@Abefroeman

Ah, right- uhh, give me a few mins :) There's a lot of people who are queuing for Willas now :P
