I'm telling you guys, just post abut how you have cookies and they will come.

Anyway what are you thinking of playing?

I kind of want to play as someone foreign to the Reach that's come to the Reach for whatever reason as a retainer to House Nuemann. Maybe a bastard of a minor house from the North or the Riverlands.

For some of the new comers if you have picked a character name please let me know so I can change it for you.

Please welcome Goldor to our game.

*waves*

Ello everyone.

Yo there, Ho-I mean Goldor

Sorry should have put the welcome in Chit Chat, but since were her Welcome again.

*Curtsies* Welcome to the game!

Information that's still needed;

Polina Ashfield: Status
Corinne Flowers: Status & age
Dyllan Redbrush: Status & age


During house creation some of the NCs do not have important info for IC, The player or Players that created the house need to supply for the follow, status and age with notes for the chart in thread House & Lands

Lady Alianna Ashfield
Ser Victarion Ashfield
Lady Iliria Ashfield
Lord Ascar Ashfield

Thank you very much Ashara.

Boss, I'm not sure what you mean by my Status shouldn't that be on my character sheet? But as to age, if my character is Lady Iliria's bastard daughter then I'm thinking 22 or 23, not sure which would be better.

In reply to Caladin (msg # 488):

That info is on page 1 of House Ashfield thread

Oh! I didn't realise what you were referring to so its the fact that I'm Mistress of the Horses.

TY - all the reading and updating and I past that up dozens of times, lol

Man I feel old and my sight is going but guess what my creative juices are flowing. :)

So don't forget that this thread is to discuss character ideas and character creation questions, so for some of the new players .... if your not sure which house yet this would be the place to discuss what you would like to make and the current active players can fill you in on how it could fit their house.

Hey guys, I've pretty much finished up my character, so somethings other than what I have in my description should be tossed up here. I like several of the characters in House Neumann (at least what I know of them) and am rather interested in joining up with them.

Bruce the Strong is a well-meaning type of guy, with average intellect, he struggles with his rage and he uses his fist in combat to be more physical and feel the connection to his victims.

Born and raised in the city of White Harbor, Bruce the Strong holds more to the ideals of the North than he does with men of the south, including the worship of the old gods (which is what has kept him from becoming a knight). His childhood was one of hard labor and fisticuffs, with the local boys, especially those that were older than him who thought they could get away with beating him, this taught him how to fight and toughened him up even better than the hard labor and hard living already had.

He first started to develop his reputation due to an incident on the farm he lived and worked on where a angry bull charged and bucked at Bruce several times, finally when he had enough of its behavior and the next time the bull charged him Bruce caught it by the horns, threw it to the ground began to beat upon it until he realized he was doing nothing more than simply beating the gore into the ground. When it was found what he had done, he was thrown off the farm and told to never return.

With the only life he knew no longer available to him, and his reputation for violence spreading before he arrived to look for work he found it (acceptable work) at every corner unavailable to him. That was until he was discovered by a merchant seeking him out just as he was starving. With nothing left to him but the rage that had caused him to take down the charging bull he was recruited by the merchant who was heading to Kings Landing as a "sell-sword" in return for the food and life offered by the man he had to accompany him and work for him.

He spent the next two years working as a sellsword for the merchant. This greatly helped in building his reputation through word of mouth--from lifting a wagon he was guarding, so that a broken wheel could've be replaced, to defending the same wagon with his bare hands. Bruce shied away from utilizing weaponry in combat, as he preferred a physical connection with his victims.

With the war against Dorne planned, Bruce was conscripted in King's Landing, regardless of both his and his employer’s protests he fought on the frontline. Due to his unusual fighting style (a shield, yet no swords--but his fists alone), Bruce combated numerous troops on the frontlines by surprise, that is, until his notoriety had spread. He performed admirably and was recognized for his deeds in combat.

Bruce is famous as one of the strongest, if not the strongest men currently active in the Seven Kingdoms. There are stories circulating of him lifting fully laden wagons to help replace wheels, crushed shields and armor with his bare hands, and other generally unbelievable feats of strength.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Northbros unite!

Maybe Bruce and Brandon can be friends, explaining how House Neumann ended up with two Northmen. Also for my wealth trait and for House income when should I roll those. They are monthly in game time rolls.

Not sure you realize but it still day one for some Ayer and only day two for others.

I think in game time one thread is at day 5

But yes you will get to roll when it's time

Ok just wondering if I got a roll for the start or not.

That's a good question

So I say to those of Dorne did we roll when we started?

We rolled a whole bunch of stuff, which thing are you trying to roll for?

In reply to Archibald Sand (msg # 500):

Monthly resources -I'm pretty sure I said that we would roll after the first story plot which would be a month. (Or/so)

Yes income and adjustment to the House stats is generally not rolled at the beginning of a game unless there is some sort of prequel story done quickly to help integrate the house into the surrounding lands prior to the start of full RP, which we did not opt for.

In reply to Archibald Sand (msg # 502):

In game time from start it's been 3 days for the Dorne region and day one for those in The Reach. Good news is once we are done with the the current threads time will pass and resources will be rolled.

Sounds good. Just new to the system and didn't know if you roll at the start of the game or the next in game month
