[hider=Secret]Agreed. Definitely gotta take my time with this. But it's nice to have an end-goal of sorts... provided he doesn't get prematurely killed by the game of thrones. :P

I didn't really think about it much at first, but I did make Mychel look nothing like his dad. Which gave me the idea "what if Robin Arryn isn't in fact his dad, and his mother had him with somebody else entirely (not Harry)". Though Mychel wouldn't find out anywhere near now in the RP, I like the idea of Harry knowing and being the one to tell him just as Mychel is consolidating power (or attempting to), and threatening Mychel to reveal it in public. This would be, I think, what would push Mychel over the edge and make him stop caring about House Arryn entirely, and be willing to kill Harry and others for power.

We've already kind of established Cronun has Arryn looks. Honestly,  I don't think it's [i]necessary[/i] for Harry to be his real father,
 but either way, I do like the idea of Cronun being an Arryn bastard, or a direct descendant of an Arryn bastard.

What I'm thinking of is building up a close relationship between Cronun and Mychel (friendly or otherwise), Mychel seeing him as an ally (and later, perhaps, as a tool for his power-grabbing). Then, when their respective heritages come into play, Mychel struggling with the idea that Cronun's Arryn blood could one day make him a threat to his power in the Vale.[/hider]

As for Cat:
[hider=not really secret but whatever]I think of Cat as more of a populist revolutionary in the making, like Daenerys in her youth but without the Targaryen sense of entitlement. One possible direction I have in mind for Cat is her becoming a sort of pro-secular humanist or Martin Luther figure, challenging the Faith's power and supporting deep political reforms.[/hider]
