Act two of the original three is done. It is about 100 pages and 23k words. I'll be merging the first two acts into one and the book will end up being about twice as long as originally projected.

Act 1 of 3 is done. It’s about 100 pages and 23k words and has a prelude, 8 chapters, and an interlude. I’m looking at 100k words as an approximate goal.

Bio

Thrawn: "I have read about the nightswan. Have you?"

Nightswan: "You refer to the fact that it sings only as night is falling?"

Thrawn: "Yes. You do not expect your stand to succeed, do you?"

Nightswan: "I know that it won't succeed."

Thrawn: "That does not necessarily mean the end. I can give orders for you to be taken unharmed."

Nightswan: "They will be ignored. Half the troops here are Batonn Defense and Restos is determined to get rid of me."

Thrawn: "Then come with me now!"

Nightswan: "A man must do what he must, Admiral Thrawn. Even if his stand is against the fall of eternal night."

Note: arecubed is more "Fragile Speedster" than "Lightning Bruiser" he can take a really good hit maybe once but then just one more of most any kind of attack before he's down. That's only because of his armor. If he loses the armor and puts on his other boots then he enters a much more proper FS territory.
@NecroKnight As long as it needs to be to cover what is known, or your favorite bit, about the Harrenhal tournament. Of course you can expand on what happens but don't take anything away.
@Cazzer1604 Yay! Someone understands me! Though, my main issue with taking control of Martin's characters is writing them wrong. If Necro accepts my challenge and does well then I'd have no fundemental problem with it.
How about this:

If anyone is dead set on using a cannon character then don't make a CS for them. I want you to write an IC post for them at the tournament at Harrenhal then post it here. This will serve as a preliminary test.
But I will say this; if you're already decided to not play then please refrain from filling the OOC.
@NecroKnight You certainly could make a knight who could defeat Robert. I mean, plenty of those existed, so long as you make it convincing or work up to that point. Also, I guarantee you will be able to affect change so long as you're not playing a stable boy, an unknown Knight's squire, or someone else who doesn't matter. Though, I will say. One man can certainly make changes. Look at Sir Duncan as one example or Rhaegar when he crowned Lyanna instead of Elia. (Admittedly Rhaegar is a little more prominent than Duncan.)
@NecroKnight Sorry to see you go.

Looks like I'm a bit behind on character making. I'll get on that when I get home.
@NecroKnight The way I'm doing this is that everything will proceed normally with them. The differences that will make changes, large or small, is the addition of characters. Battles that might have been very close might have different outcomes. More advisors might cause different canon character decisions to be made. I'm sorry if this is a deal breaker, but I'm pretty hard line on making your own character. In your interactions with canon characters you can still treat them as NPCs. If you look in the interest check, my second post contains this.

Also, as to the why not question. I am strongly of the opinion that you and I or anyone who didn't make the character will write them wrong. I'm not a fan of when comic books change writers or when shows change writers. I notice subtle differences in speech patterns and it irks me. I don't really like keeping canon characters as NPCs but I can bear that. Again, sorry if this ruins your ideas about the game.
Oh look! It's an OOC.
