We've deleted a bunch of CSes, so we completely lost the Starks. Meh, ah well- you do have a fresh ground to go from, I think two of the sons were Tormin and Evan, the former being some kind of ranger. There was also a sister in there, she reminded me of Arya's martial with Sansa's mind, in a way. Evan was more bookish, and Tormin was as you said, a bit of a rogue, young, hot blooded.

Bio
I've RP'd for the best part of over 15 years now here on the Guild, and particularly like military settings, both contemporary, past and near future. I have even dabbled in a little more experimental RPs, as well as created a plethora of 1x1s over my time in the guild. I like creating RPs with a distinct flavour- and often shift between narrative-led RPs to semi-randomised plots. I've been more a GM lately than a player, and don't really lean into fandom- instead, exploring my own universes lifting themes from other source material.
My main interests are military-themed, near-future RPs, with a focus on technology. But I'm beginning to push what that RP idea looks like- taking inspiration from lots of media and focussing on the fun, indulgent side of RP, whilst also exploring the lows and emotional side.

Raven Squad is a project over seven years in the making, and focusses on a class-based, eccentric yet half-grounded near future special forces team that acts as a response team where you can't send any special forces team in. It's incredibly dumb, incredibly loose, and yet, has delivered some of my favourite plot points in RPG. A brainless action flick a la John Wick and Kingsman meets a complex thriller with a fun left turn in it, Raven has been the culmination of over a decade of loving special forces RPG, gaming influences and other silliness in a package that has provided players with something quite different to a normal military themed RPG. While at an end, this is an RP that is a signature- it's silly as hell, takes itself barely seriously, and is what peak fun military RPG to me should be.

Delta Hyper is a love letter to Wipeout, F1's Drive to Survive (Netflix) and contemporary Formula One, with influences from solarpunk, cyberpunk, transhumanism and other posthumanist concepts. An RP that follows pilots in their ups and downs, it's a story that hasn't got me playing an actual character, but framing the camera at each pilot (played by others), and presenting it as if it were a documentary. Lifting elements from TTRPG, this is a Racing RPG like no other and no parallel exists- using dice rolls and randomisation, with a stats-driven system to generate race results, rather than actually RPing the races, players experience the fast-paced, dynamic world of anti-gravity racing. This means that come Qualifying and Race, the results are genuinely a surprise to everyone- and based on decisions made through dilemmas and decisions made between races. Friendships, rivalry, the glamour and even a little political undertone play out in 2094, in a colourful, utopian future that focuses on the fight to take first place.

Then there's Tactical Breach Wizards: Fireteam Hex. First use of any set IP as a formal setting, this is an RP that offers a darker mirror to Raven Squad, focussing on the other side of the equation- unlikely heroes in an uncomfortable position. I don't normally do fantasy, but the world, the lore, the feeling of the characters and the ability to write a comedy just was too difficult to pass up. An RP that focuses on a group running away from a variety of threats as wanted mercenary wizards in the middle of a post-revolution, Eastern-Europe adjacent 1990s to present Polavia.
roleplayerguild.com/topics/197399-dis…
Lastly, Dispatch: Heroes of Claremont. This is another IP-adjacent world, albeit drawing on a different setting and a new cast of superheroes. As my "first" proper superhero RP, this combines workplace comedy, a Storyteller-lite system and a fun, diverse, and large cast together in a dynamic, diverse setting.
I'm pretty flexible and try and get back to people on ideas and responses, but sometimes, I may become very busy and it will take some time till I am un-busy. I aim to clear posts within a week!

Haha, the Thorns of the Kingdom of the Reach go everywhere.....Alerie won't like the cold :) . Could do that, there was a betrothal between a Crakehall and a Stark, but the deal was very, very strange between everyone involved. A very forced marriage, for sure- neither party really wanted it apart from Tyget to bolster his claim, and the Starks just wanted their Valyrian Steel back pretty much. Though keep in mind, they've lost two battles already, and there is a Targaryen on the throne. Well....that could change.
I can't remember the name of the Stark son, I shall find it in the IC for you. TLDR though, the Starks have lots of direwolves (breed them, no less), a historically-stepped fear of the south, and rule like an autonomous Kingdom. Your character can change that though.

Hey there!
Okay, so House Greyjoy just got the shit kicked from it, by a combined Stark-Crakehall offensive, that basically killed the Lord of the Iron Islands. But they aren't broken- the Harlaws are rising, and looking to fill the chasm left, with Cidran Harlaw looking to a Kingsmoot to enact vengence and a new wave of reaving.
The last Stark player did offer up a daughter for marriage, but to be fair, it was very lukewarm. It could be declined, or accepted.
It's been 150 years or so since Dany basically took the Iron Throne, I believe, and it's more rooted in the book fiction, albeit that I haven't read any, it isn't too big of a deal.
Also, the Tyrells are an option for alliance, and currently occupy King's Landing. If you want to be a little more open-armed in diplomacy, the Roses of Highgarden are still around, and worth a mention (nothing to do with the fact I play them :D ).
Awesome to hear- go for Stark if you like! Perhaps the death of the old Lord Rickard Stark, in favour of their son?

Kingfisher's character was fun. Because legitimately.....it was literally just pure negotiation and fucking for her and Garland. Literally. No long-term relationship, it was just the Young Rose and the Whale. Imagination no longer required.
I like to think that as of now, she's sitting on someone in Yunkai :D

Definitely, that'd be awesome. Would be good to have House Stark and Tully filled in again especially, given their role in the shit to come.
It's a 2IC position, and as Merlin says, Aleksandra is with Jarek, and can give a heads up to him really. It's just getting prepped for landing, and Big, Queen and Star have done, doing the said landing. It is murky, but pretty much, they are in the theatre and are getting ready to get to work. It is go-time.
I'm very conservative with my RPs sometimes, but to be fair, everyone is more than capable, and I think we all know each other inside out by now...so go right ahead :D
No problem- to be fair, I can trust everyone really well, so if you want to advance stuff, go right ahead if you just can't figure it out. I mean, so far the team has gone from sea to the coast, and say, if Aleksandra is taking a point, that puts it in perspective for you. I mean, interact however you like, describe, do whatever really...find that creative mojo, and I know the feeling when you lack it because I struggle to write in those cases :P . I'll intervene where I can, but pretty much, you make up this RP, you propel it forwards, and propel it however you like :)
Shit, that is mighty impressive Zenku. I'll PM you shortly, I'm accepting that it is just in regards to the aforementioned posts in the OOC.
Nice- there is a sequel coming to the first part of mine and Abe's collab. It is some seriously visceral stuff, definitely a departure for me as it swings back two characters into the fray.
