Haha...it's a case of succession is very awry. I haven't gotten it to work right, but I've cleared it up mentally for what I want to put across.

If all the Tyrells had but one neck...

They've been very lucky so far. It'll only take a second to change that, no doubt they'll find themselves in the thick of it.

I've put up a vague list of ages and so on, it is mainly how to explain how Alestair, Garland's cousin, is older than him whilst being born of a thirdborn (in this scenario, it seems that a good bunch of the Tyrell bunch had their kids late).

I don't know, I quite like the Tyrells sensiblish,kindish,generousish Lords Paramount.

Only downside is the upjumped stewards part. Denethor and Boromir clearly show us how important it is that only people who are born to a long line of kings should be kings. Anyone else trying to rule would just be wrong and lead to the slow and steady decline of a Kingdom./sarcasm.

It's the weird trait about them. They are fairytale like, they're depicted as such and the place they come from all point to it. They are mainly lucky, it's a rich land with good fields, so whoever is at the top is going to find it hard to make a mess of it all- plus all the chivalric traits sort of echo out from Highgarden too.

Thinking about it, the House's members (male, at least) are generally long haired, bearded, there's a strong connection to flowers....the more I think of it, this smells of a hippie commune for some reason.

But on the topic, I hate it in some ways, there's few flaws that you can see on the surface of the House (also, I should point it out that with the Tyrell line at this point in time being less of a matriarchy as seen during Robert's Rebellion and so on). That said, it's as you say- there are deep problems that won't ever fade, Garland isn't a born Lord, he's a secondborn's son who happens to be quick (and lucky) enough to actually deal with the situation at hand, and they're still young as a Great House in the general scheme of things. The Targaryens kind of ensure their very existence.

Posted a sheet for consideration.

:)

Alright, I've finally put up the house sheet for the Velaryons, but it's still obviously a WIP since I still need to do the character sheet for Alyn Velaryon. Dunno if there's anyone else relevant enough for me to bother doing a sheet for.

Would anyone mind me joining their house? I'd like to play a single character.

Hello @Ruby, @Sini, and everyone else from last time. At least I think there was a last time? I do remember something like this.

I don't suppose I could re-apply using the same house as the previous, House Hightower? Otto the Younger wants to prove himself.

I think my single character sell-sword is complete.
I just need to hitch a ride with someone or find someone willing to pay for his services.
(If he gets approved)

There's been quite a few "last times"! From my experience, that's usually not problem, as long as the sheet is updated to fit the new setting.

Best wait for the GM, though!

Looking at your bio, Dagmer Cleftjaw hadn't even been born at the time this RP is set. You also might also wanna lengthen the bio, as you say here that Vallen is a sellsword yet there's no mention of it in the bio.

Works for me! And welcome back. =)

I've tried to give folks time to complete their sheets. Let me know if yours needs looking at.

House Peake is approved.

I've finished mine as well.

House Peake is approved.

Does this include their ward, Miss Redwyne?

I believe she has yet to get to your character. :)

Alright. I'll just continue to sit idly by and await my turn.

Have been away all weekend- will finish off the last of the Tyrell stock, though those are the main two.
