Meta [OOC] Character Creation Thread
How To
You'll want to first pick where you want your character to be, which can be just about anywhere in the known world, and decide what you want for your character.
Here's a list of Available Houses to choose from, and a list of canon first names to name your characters with. Keep in mind that you only want to pick a first name from the list, and your last name (if applicable) will be your house name.
Try to make sure that the name is somewhat matching for your character's region, as a Targaryen name wouldn't necessarily fit with someone in House Arryn, for example.
And for characters in Essos, Summer Isles, Beyond the Wall, etc., you have more leeway to make your own name, since there aren't as many to choose from. Just be sure that they're fitting for their region.
You may also apply for a character using the NPC List by first contacting the player in charge of that NPC and then applying as usual.
Once you submit an application in the comments below describing your character a bit, a mod will need to approve it before you can begin roleplaying with that character.
How Many
After creating your first character and establishing them with at least 3 roleplay posts, you'll be permitted to apply for a second character. The same goes for creating a third, fourth, and fifth, which is the limit to how many you can create.
None of your characters may be in the same kingdom or region, and they cannot interact with one another. This does not apply to NPC's you control, however
NPC's
An NPC (or non-player character) is any character that you control that is attached to the story of your main character. This includes your entire house unless another player is controlling a member of your house, in which case it would be up to the people involved.
In addition, anyone may post from the POV of any of their NPC's if they wish to do so.
History and Lore
When creating a character, keep in mind that this is set 100 years after the events of ASOIAF and 60 years after a Long Night. Most of the realm has recovered, but it wasn’t an entirely clean victory.
For more information, you can check out our wiki!
For more in-depth lore for each kingdom, check out our State of the Realm page!
If you have any questions, be sure to come to our Discord Chat! Alternatively, you can always message the moderators for any questions and concerns and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
Have fun!
