Trying to wrap my head around the new tools and bits of the site. Well done, Mahz.

Bio

Née 1991. I feel old already.

Been roleplaying from the age of 15, write on solo projects in my spare time. I heartily encourage interaction when it comes to writing and creative efforts. Like to think I'm an understanding but stern and solid GM when I host games, and a collaborative and creative individual. Used to draw. Write in advanced section.

While I might not be as omni-present a some of you are on RP:G, I have been a part of it since 2009-2010 (if my memory serves me right). However, I must admit that post Guildfall, my activity also dropped. Slowly getting back into things.

I attended university to acquire my master's degree in history. I already had an educational degree for history and English, and am teaching both in secondary school. Any questions? Ask.

I liked it.

Is this pending or WIP?
@Sini Have you determined if you'll be playing as House Hightower or not? I'd like to start a Direct Message thread so we can discuss the finer details, if you would be so inclined.


Sure. :) You may also find me on Discord.
STILL PICTURE HUNTING


<Snipped quote by Dusty>

Ok so, the sheet's really well written and I understand the desire to want to play a weakened house, but there's a few things to note here.

Firstly; House Baratheon is the Lord Paramountship closest to the Targaryen Crownlands, and this is an age of relative stability and peace for the Iron Throne (at least initially). Not to mention the Targaryens still have their dragons 'and' Storm's End is one of the most powerful seats on the Narrow Sea for the Kingdom to maintain. I don't really see a situation in which the Targaryens allow the Baratheons to entirely lose control of the Stormlands. It might be worth altering the end situation to one of the rebellious Lords being installed as the Regent to the young Baratheon heir, and ruling through him, that way.

Secondly, one of the main potential claimants to the Iron Throne, Rhaenys Targaryen, is half Baratheon through her mother, Jocelyn Baratheon. As mentioned you're more than welcome to change canon to play different characters, this is quite an important link. To keep this connection intact, I'd like to offer the solution that Robbas the Elder was a younger brother of both Jocelyn and Boremond (making him a son of Lord Rogar Baratheon and Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon) and that, unlike in canon, Boremond died without heirs. Let me know if that works for you.


@Dusty

I more or less second this. You write well, and I quite like the sheet. It's great - for another time period. House Baratheon commands pride and place at this point in history, more so than usual. They have an important role to play. Their genealogical and geographical proximity to House Targaryen and the Crownlands makes the series of events you so fabulously describe unlikely. Perhaps you could look at the established canon of the time period and see if and how you might incorporate it into your application. Alternatively you might look at other houses to play where this issue does not occur. A large part of why I was interested in playing them was because how closely entwined the Baratheons are with established canon.

Also, not to be nitpicking, but it's "Ours is the Fury" not "Our's".

Furthermore, in regards to your earlier query, I'm fine with working something out between the houses we end up playing. Be they Baratheon and Hightower or otherwise. I very much enjoy collabs! I think I even shared a House with someone...
That was quick indeed @Kingfisher !

I was pondering Baratheon, but maybe I ought to shift my attention to another house - like Hightower.
Approved. Have fun blasting stuff.

To your first point, the Google docs say that Imperial citizens typically finish their military education "around eighteen". It does make more realistic sense if he's a party boy, so I guess I can have him take an extra year or two, but that might tarnish his disciplinary record (which the Empire takes far more seriously than the FAA IRL).

Secondly, I'm scrapping that current interview. I can't think of any cutaway from that which doesn't involve godmodding or fully playing the character in a scenario prior to acceptance.

Self-appointed deadline for edits: 12:01 AM, May 17th PST


I admit that is a confusing phrase. Perhaps we ought to put "basic" in front of "military education" to make more sense regarding age. The recruits/cadets which are looking or selected to specialise going into an additional 2-3 or 4-5 (depending on NCO or CO ranks) years of training, with servicemen, infantry, and other basic enlisted getting out at 18.

Looking forward to the revamped interview!
If he's a pilot, even a newly graduated one, I would age him up. Additionally, pilots typically hold a junior officer rank after earning their wings, like second lieutenant, and have had years of training and education.

I would also want a bit more substance to your final section. We want to see more content there, aside from (a description of) a graduation speech.
