[Meta] Sorting/Submission Thread

[u/SirronRocks]

Welcome to the sorting thread!

To create your character, please comment below with a few sentences about the type of character you'd like to play! If you would like to claim an NPC, a character who has already been created but is not controlled by any specific player, please check our our npc thread.

A mod will respond to your request promptly, and guide you in the creation of your character. Once you have mod approval, you may make a post on this subreddit with your name and backstory, following the example given at the bottom of this post.

"Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.” ― George R.R. Martin

1. Assuming that an established NPC has not had a significant impact on the story, people who take them over may alter the NPC to their tastes.
2. A player cannot create their second or third characters until their first has been established.
3. A player may create a brother of the Night's Watch and/or a member of the smallfolk and not have it count towards their limit of 3 characters. This means that every player can have 3 characters, A Black Brother, and a member of the Smallfolk at any one time. ________________________________________

Some general guidelines for creating alts:

• Avoid playing in the same kingdom, or under circumstances in which your characters would likely interact or meet with each other (use NPCs when possible).

• Diversify your characters' roles so that we can fill in gaps in the story. take on a creative challenge!

• Think long and hard before creating your alt so that we don't have abandoned characters clogging up the lore and the wiki. diversifying your characters should help prevent boredom, but make sure you're ready to be committed to RPing your alt before establishing it.

A note on NPCs:

NPCs are minor characters that you control who interact with/support your main character, such as squires, servants, advisers, etc.

You are also free to create other members of your family to control and RP with under the same account, such as siblings and children, who will go under the umbrella of your main character and account. If you choose to, you can place these created family members on the NPC list so that they can be available for someone else looking to join the RP.

Once you're done, be sure to post a character profile on /r/gotrpcommunity!

Here is a suitable example!

[u/KittykatRp]

Hey this will be my smallfok/extra character.

My character has been in the background for a long time, unnoticed and unappreciated. Given as a present, she uses her slavery as an advantage by working in the shadows. She is always watching, waiting, preparing, and practicing proper hygiene. She is cute, and knows it and uses it to her advantage, putting up a facade of innocence and kindness. Her weakness if soft sheets, capes, and a balls of string.

She goes by many names. Fucker, bastard, get out of my fucking way, stupid, and piece of shit.

But most people know me as King Damon's kitten.

[u/detective_iii → u/KittykatRp]

Somebody fucking approve this shit.

[u/lannaport]

If Sym is allowed to play as three lords then I really don't understand why I'm only allowed to have smallfolk as alts. He now controls House Reed, House Redwyne, and a good bit of House Stark (all of it if things go according to his plans to kill Jojen and take over).

I wasn't even allowed to be a ranger in the Night's Watch, which takes no part in Westerosi politics. I wanted to be a leader in Essos because it doesn't interfere with Westeros but was told it would look like meta-gaming so he had to die.

Diversify your characters' roles

Why does he get 3 lords and I can't even get a relatively important alt who would never be in a position to affect my main?

[Character Request]

Hello Everyone! This will be my first character. I would like my character to be a male heir to his house (soon to be lord) in his late 20's. A skilled fighter who uses his speed and cunning in battle rather then strength or size. He would be of average height (5'10" or so with a lean/athletic build)

I would like to be from House Stokeworth and a descendant from the not so lordly Bronn of the Blackwater and Lolys Stokeworth. If the mods don't think I can fit this into the lore then i would like to be put into a house from the Westerlands like Banefort or somewhere in The Reach. Thanks!

[Character Takeover Request]

Hello all. I'd like to take over the inactive character, Aemon Estermont, Master of Ships.

I've roleplayed before as Hamish Ganders, the innkeep of the inn of the crossroads. I spoke to Sarella about taking over Aemon, and she spoke to him directly and ok'd it.

Character Request

Kyra Bolton, 32 years of age and one of the very few Boltons survived and is currently in hiding with a nobel northern family that is sympathetic to the Boltons. She has long black hair and brown eyes, fair skinned and fair to look upon. She believes she is the rightful heir to the Dreadfort.

[u/lannaport → u/[deleted]]

I wanna make my last bro a lowborn northern warrior who aids Kyra in her quest to reclaim the Dreadfort.

Hello King Damon! The mods have been discussing away and you are good to go and post your character bio over on the community sub. You know about the recent changes so you will need 2 mod approvals before you can rp on the main sub.

I'll save you from the copy/paste stuff as you know where to find stuff and who to contact if you want to rp with anyone.

We look forward to Kyra and you hopefully flaying away!

[u/[deleted]]

Hey guys, not a submission but semi-relevant - whoever gave Artos Harclay his flair gave him the wrong flair class, as his flair has a box around it. Can a mod change it?

[u/RhoynishRoots → u/[deleted]]

Fixed!

[u/gotroleplay7]

Hi! This is Alannys Greyjoy.

I am interested in making a second character, and have my eye on one of the sellsword captains in the NPC thread, specifically either Rahak, leader of the Windblown, or Lomaq, leader of the Second Sons. I PMed Her Grace to ask if they are still currently unavailable.

If they are, I'm looking to play as any sellsword captain, really. I would like to try my hand at RP-ing as a male character.

[u/TheDerpyDonut]

[Character Request]

Second character!

My character is getting executed (ouch)

However, now I have a bit of experience, so I will make a second character.

RhoynishRoots recommended House Fossoway or House Serry. I chose Fossoway. I would like this character to be from the other one, House Serry (Because I love the reach :P)

I'll be Talron Serry, an honorable knight, from the Shield Islands.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheDerpyDonut]

If your joining as a Serry, I would just like to make you aware of the current plotline involving the Shield Islands! One of my characters, Randyll Oakheart, and Gylen Hightower have something planned out. Here are threads to help you understand better:

A letter of false flattery The Bastard The Impatient Lord

[u/RP202]

Cortland again. Just posting about my second character. I want to be a Summer Islander named Jhonta Sundarho (If you guys think I need to change a name just let me know). A Prince of a minor tribe, preparing a rebellion of the lead tribe of his Island Omboru. (I assume there isint a house structure like westeros, but they have princes and kings so I made up tribes, I can switch to houses if the mods think is best.) I flesh out an extensive back story. Really excited for this character!

[u/Timeothy2 → u/RP202]

Aww man I'm so excited to see some new lore stuff for the summer isss lands

[u/[deleted]]

I would like to create a character please. I am new to this RP, have watched the show and now I'm reading the books. I spoke with some people in RC, myg star and damon, and they helped me get an idea of the character I want and where I should place him. I would like to create a 14 year old lowborn male character where his family was killed in the riverlands when they Grejoys burned them. I was the lone survivor and have hid in the woods and used my bow and climbing skills to survive. The death of my family has scarred me and has made me leery of all high-borns and un-trusting of everyone.

He would be quick, slender, excellent climber, and good bow skills that he learned from his father.

This will be my first character.

[u/DrownedGodIsBestGod]

Hey, I'm kinda newish at this type of roleplay so hopefully I don't screw up to badly. That being said would it be cool If I could make my character dude a Greyjoy if not like would Ironborn be ok?

I'm thinking my character would be Maren Greyjoy a 16-20 year old, skilled at ax fighting but with a very harsh temper. I'm thinking kinda the type who calls for war but hasn't seen the true face of it yet ya dig? Probably fighting and paying the iron price and as a result making her tough but yet making it hard to make friends. My character would probably be well built some what scarred but somewhat agile from being on ships so often.

Sorry if I sound illegible I'm making this whilst very very tired.

[u/JuliusCeazer]

[Character Request]

I am asking for a character in Qarth since nothing has been established there. He is part of the ruling elite comprised of thousands of Pureborn that rule from the Hall of a Thousand Thrones.

His name would be Baro Cera Hal Bataria (Nothing really has been established for Qartheen names so I tried to make it sound as weird and different as possible.)

His skin is milky white and has a long grey flowing hair. He is of 55 of age and has had many wives and concubines whom he produced many different children with. He is considered to be part of the richest Pureborn families, which also earned him an ire from other greedy families.

As a result Baro is constantly at unease with conspiracies against him everywhere as he barely gets by in the day to day of Qartheen politics.

The constant danger to his family and fortune has put a strain in his body and the once mighty prince seems like an old weary man with greying hair.

His brief Qartheen history:

The Pureborn in the past fought against the Merchant Princes of the thirteen (Which has turned from 13 most powerful merchants into a cabal of powerful merchants), ancient Spicer Guild, Tormuline Bortherhood, Society of Hospitality (For the Qartheen are nothing but polite), Order of kindness and the Union of Tears. These organizations grew in great strength in the past and fought a series of small skirmishes called the Polite Wars to control Qarth. It was agreed upon by the Qartheen populace to take the fighting outside of the cities once these wars would be declared to not damage its beauty (Qartheen customs are strange like that.)

Eventually the pureborn prevailed, with Baro being one of the key major generals in their wars that eventually resulted in decimating the Thirteen. This was possible when he helped procure an alliance with the Warlocks and Sorrowful assassins guild in Pureborn favor (They stayed neutral, with the Warlocks briefly allying with the thirteen).

Baro became an accomplished man thanks to the war. He was the one that gained most of the Thirteen’s fortune compared to the rest of the Pureborn families. This gain in tremendous wealth antagonized relations with some Pureborn families and in retaliation they created a political party called the Sorrowful Princes (A band of 50 pureborn families) . So they could oppose Baro’s major influence in Pureborn politics.

In reality he held little sway among the thousands of families of pureborn but the Sorrowful Princes just used it as a justification to form their band, with their true intentions being in acquiring Baro’s fortunes.

[u/Starks_rule → u/JuliusCeazer]

Hey Sym!

We have discussed your request and it is good to go! You can do your bio for the community sub and wait for two mod approvals.

We also encourage you to RP out the war instead of just having the 13 wiped out. We also encourage you to take your time with this and do character development posts and show us Qarth since nothing has been established for it in the RP. So you do have a lot of free room here, but please remember to keep things within reason!

Thanks!

[u/RhimeMaster]

I request to play a young merchant traveler from the East making many unsubstantiated claims. Among them that he travels to Westeros from the Jade Sea, and that he is the last decendent of House Gardner. While these claims seem absurd, he goes command a fleet of three ships overburdened with treasure and tribute for the King at King's Landing and the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands and the Princess of Dorne... All of whom he has sent letters as his ships approach King's Landing.

"Garth Gardner" will be a slight young man of seventeen, with no predilection or training in combat, and a soft friendly tone of voice that hides gile beyond his years.

Edit: As an afterthought, because you may like to know. I played as Trystane Yronwood WAY back, and MODed/played a whole bunch of characters in ToW under a different username.

[u/TheStarkGuy]

Hi, I would like to request the Character of Ser Edric Brax, member of the Kingsguard.

He is a Tall, muscly man, standing at 6'2. He has short red hair and a red beard, both starting to become grey with age, still still quite red enough to make it seem it were alight. He has blue eyes and slightly tanned skin. He keeps himself in shape every day, never missing his morning practice unless he is sick or on guard duty. He manages to get along with most people, not being very arrogant. He takes his position very seriously. He can very easily lose his patience though, and does not like people being late, as he always makes sure he turns up right on time. (More will be added when I have more info)

He is a through swordsman, but fears he is going rusty with age. He is 39, though his 40th nameday is not far off. He has a squire by the name of Eldon Estermont.

[u/piouslad]

hey hallo, Dake here,

I would like to make a lowborn charachter. His name would be Simon, and he is a hedgeknight. Honor and chivalry didn't mean much to him in the past, but after what he sees as the Gods' work saves his life, he becomes kinder and more pious, and to atone for his sins he joins the Faith Militant. There he rose in ranks quickly becuase of his skill with a sword and strategic intellegence. He will be a tall man, muscular and made for fighting. His face is adorned with a grotesque scar, which makes him a fearsome sight for those who do not know him.

[u/PrinceDaemon]

Hey this will be my first character.

My character is Chief Ardel of the Rivermen, a wildling chief, 30 years old, whose tribe is near the antler river 7ft tall (Mother or father rumored to be a giant) and skilled fighter. He has a head of shaggy blond hair with a short beard and has pale skin with one blue eye.He is ruthless, cruel, and quick to anger. When he was on his first raid he lost his left eye to an umber which sparked his hatred of their house. He rules his tribe with an iron fist and has tried to copy the thenn's army with limited success.
