Current I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

I'm going to be expanding all of my bios, just wanted to get the core events of their lives down in case any other players wanted to collab some history.

On that note if anyone wants to volunteer characters from their house to be the knights in Artys and Oswin's squire days that's open. Also willimg to change the house of Jeyne's husband if someone wants that connection.


I'm not so worried about it right now. I just always try to communicate clearly as a GM, and thought that needed to be pointed out to everyone. There's still tons of time to expand upon them. Especially with a recent war to draw on.

I can't help much there as the Ironborn. ^_^
I also think I'll create a single character, not sure yet, maybe a Stark if whoever chooses that house would allow me to create a character. I'll wait a bit.


Makes sense.

We don't always get a House Stark.

They're a bit in harm's way, this game, too. ^_^
Bit skimpy/short on the Bios.

Your Head of House needs a Bio at least as long as Aegon's.
I'm not intimately knowledgeable about the Shadowrun verse. To join, how much knowledge one would require? I'm not averse to a bit of study to join if any helpful links would be offered. Depending on how much is required to know in order to join I can attempt if it's alright.


Google search for "Shadowrun 20th Anniversary core PDF" and it shouldn't take you long to find the entire core book online, for free. I'd say read through the intro section there.
Marcus is approved.

This sounds like fun! Are there any player-formed houses I can join? I'd rather play a single character.


There will be more. Might wanna wait a few days.


King Aegon, the Third of His Name of House Targaryen, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men.

12 Years of Age

Head of the Royal House of Targaryen


Prince Aegon's was a happy childhood in the early days. His mother always near, his older brothers active and kind, island of Dragonstone a place he had always found fascinating. He was ever fond of lemon cakes, and fresh fruits, sweet wines and ciders. He loved singers and minstrels and mummer shows. Aegon has always loved sailing. It was a wonderful portion of his life, and a place to which Aegon can escape to in his thoughts and imagination when things always get too bad, too deafening for him.

That happiness ended when the Dance of Dragons began. Instead of a great, glorious, affair all Aegon saw during this time was his family slowly bleed itself to near extinction. That so much falls upon his young shoulders was a dread that doubled with each death of his family. His mother became a twisted, fanatical, shadow of her formal self. Bannerman faultered, advisors lied, spies double-crossed, men deserted; young Aegon had thought to himself that he had seen nearly everything. All of it was bearable so long as he had the anchor of his mother.

When Aegon witnessed his mother eaten by a dragon before his very eyes, he lost more than just an anchor. He lost childhood, and gained fear and anxiety. Where many might have became paranoid and erratic, young Aegon was said to appear resigned and reserved--like a boy used to betrayals and murder in every day life during the Dance. But in hardening his world view and outward expression, Aegon disconnected with the world. That only got worse the moment Aegon was grabbed up by the Kinsguard and thrown into a dungeon.

Aegon was left to the darkness and the rats. Left to the echoes of agony and madness for hour upon endless hour. Himself half starved and left to rot, until he was pulled out from living death and returned to the sun. Aegon was glad someone had murdered his uncle because that was the man that tossed him away into that dungeon nightmare; let alone what was done to his mother. But within his own heart there had never been a desire to punish, only to move on...with one exception. And that is a score that Aegon is determined to settle in the long term.

Thus far Aegon has given a strong performance as boy king; he has yet to be cut by the Iron Throne and holds a decent command of a room for a twelve year old. Of his remaining family Aegon seems close to only the infectious twin sisters Baela and Rhaena Targaryen, though he hadn't met many others, and the protective older girls are the closest things he currently has to friends and family. When talk of marriage comes up, Baela and Rhaena are often considered the frontrunners.
I'll be working on House Greyjoy and King Aegon.
EDIT: It's working fine now. Don't know what that was about earlier.


My guess is it was the initial post I had (and have again) hidden.
For some reason I just get an Access denied message whenever I try to go onto the character tab, so I'm going to have to submit my CS here. I hope that isn't too much of an issue!



Odd! Try again when you can.
