Current Sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio

Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...

The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.

I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.

I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.

I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.

If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

Im gunna stick with 'Damn police stickin their noses in! Just a little scuffle officer honest! Nothin serious just a bit of boiled blood, somethin you have to expect us being all cooped up here!' *in a strong cockney accent*
Okay just declaring here that I am in, will be running the stats and management side of the RP. Might play a nation depending on time etc...
Just putting my point out there, I have no problems with a conflict, makes the story much more fun. And could mean the mercs are offered a slightly different purse...who knows???
Lord Patrick Baelish, Overlord of the Riverlands Patrick was feeling more and more like a recluse now. He had elected to mingle with the other Riverlords and was regretting the mistake already. He was receiving more cold stares than the Frey lad did and could tell that this wasn't likely to change soon. Despite this he attempted to enjoy himself. he had brought a large following to the coronation and instead busied himself by gossiping and joking with his retinue. However the joviality was brought to a halt as the Frey did in fact appear. Pushing his way through to Patrick, the Baelish nodded and smiled at Jakob. "Jakob my boy, how are you?" Jakob's response was a dull and muted grunt as he sat down. "What is it my boy?" "You are touted for Master of Coin again, my lord. If you were to receive such a position what would happen in the Riverlands?" Ptrick knew exactly what Jakob meant. "The taxes and tariffs would stay the same, they will continue to fill the royal coffers, besides the Kingdom still owes the Lannisters so much money it beggars belief. 200 years and we have only put a dent in the massive debt. Perhaps if we sold them the Twins then we could take another bite out of the debt." Patrick and his following laughed but Jakob remained silent. Standing, Jakob left the group. Patrick was left wondering whether he had crossed a line and then decided against it. People didn't exactly follow the Freys highly and the boy was just an angry so-and-so who couldn't solve all his problems with violence. Lord Jakob Frey, Lord of the Crossing As Jakob left the party of Baelishes he marched straight over to Tristan who was gingerly sipping at his second wine. The boy always knew how to make children look like men, Jakob laughed to himself. Sitting with the Heir to the Tully house he looked around nd then leant in. "A meeting, tonight. I want all of the Riverlords there, not Baelish of course. We have business to discuss. Are you with me friend?" Jakob's voice was slightly pleading at this point. He always knew how to tug at Tristan's heart strings. "Why can't you do this Jakob? I'm not exactly part of a Noble House am I." "Yes but people still remember when you were, do this for me. They will listen to you." Tristan nodded his head but raised a finger. "I will be telling them that this for you though. I won't deceive the Lords." Jakob nodded that he accepted the terms and watched as Tristan got up and begun to spread the word amongst the nobles. Hopefully his name would put none of the lords off. The Riverlands had suffered in silence since the War of Five Kings and now it was time to discuss returning to former glories. Tristan could finish his job and then find Jakob, for now the Frey lord had other matters. Standing he marched his way through the crowd with authority. He was now looking for Vernan Lannister however in his attempt to navigate the people he ended up bumping into the back of a Dornish noble woman. Standing up straight he apologised profusely. It was Adrienne Martell, not somebody he had been looking for but then networking outside of his locale was not always a bad thing.
I'm sorry for the rolls I had you do Suess but I am going to be dropping out. This is all a lot more in depth than I was expecting and I just dont have the time to invest in it properly. Again, apologies.
As a note, i may be pushing my place here, surely the baretheons would be in either dire straights or exile??? They were the ones who led the charge against the Targaryians and ended up slaughtering much of the blood line. Even if the Starks were allowed to remain, despite their involvement too, and the lannisters. The baratheons would be heading to the chopping block? Just a thought.
I am just a participant in this fine RP but my 2 cents would be that this is a small colonial venture orchestrated by one quite large nation. Having another kingdoms prince would create a conflict of interests for the leadership and would threatan the position of the governer. Soooo its not likely he would be allowed to join the colony
Lord Jakob Frey, Lord of the Crossing Jakob almost spluttered into his wine as he took one more sip. A Lannister king? That was possibly the most traitorous and treasonous thing he had ever heard. As she spoke Jakob stopped her and looked over his shoulders, quickly checking to see if anyone were present. Taking Khailey by the shoulder he led her into a small alcove and hissed his next words, hunched over as if they were conspiring to poison the king, though Jakob wasn't sure if the Lannisters would or not. "Listen closely and don't say a word, you go around announcing things like that too the wrong people and you will find yourself on the end of a spike very shortly. The Targaryens are not known for their mercy, though I am not about to go and rat you in." Jakob sighed. "I would be laughed out of court immediately making an accusation against you." Taking Khailey back into the hallway he allowed their walk to continue. "My loyalty is too the man who is loyal to me. A King, or Lord, who forgets his lessers is one who is normally toppled by them. And that is all I will have to say on that matter." With that Jakob finished the last of his wine quickly. Deciding that Khailey would be fine for the rest of her walk Jakob stopped short. He now had matters to discuss with Vernan Lannister. As well as a number of the other River Lords, perhaps even whoever the Baelishs had sent. "Perhaps I shall see you at the announcement of the Hand my lady, until then have a good night." Jakob then turned and returned to the crowd of people they had left.
I may also add in a Baelish shortly...maybe tomorrow morning.
Lord Jakob Frey, Lord of the Crossing Jakob smiled as she mentioned her suspicions as to the extent of his ambition. She was absolutely right of course but he would admit that. Instead he laughed the comment off easily and then proceeded to escort the young lady to her room. He had no intentions of informing her father of course, but the he also had no intention to do anything that a man would disapprove of. Khailey was simply a way into the bigger players right now, Jakob had no interest in pursuing a fling tonight, especially not with a woman who could quite easily crush him with her ties. Sipping his own wine a lot more slowly he almost laughed as she drank hers quickly. Musing shortly on her position Jakob responded. "I'm surprised such a fine woman as yourself was not betrothed before the coming of age. Has your father been busy? Preoccupied perhaps? I mean if I am not mistaken, you are quite an important part of the line of Lannisters, and have quite the claim on Casterly Rock after your uncle and father. You seem like someone with whom a noble house would look to snatch at. If I am not being too bold to say. See myself, and the other lords I am forced to call my equals, are left to marry amongst ourselves. No Great House wishes to marry themselves low, but then the circumstances have not required the greats to need their lessers for quite some time. I believe the War of Five Kings was the last time that it truly hung in the balance." Jakob chuckled as his history lessons paid off. "In fact i believe it was a Frey who orchestrated the downfall of the North then. Perhaps we will be able to wield such power again, to serve the king of course."
