The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, united by the Fire and Blood of House Targaryen. For 300 years they have ruled from Kings Landing, striking down all challengers, from the Blackfyre pretenders to their rival houses. Always under the strong, firm hand of a Targaryen King. Not any longer. Aerys II Targaryen, the "The Mad King," has sat on the Iron throne for some 20 years, allowing the realm to fall into a state of disrepair, and weakness. Vassals fight vassals and men call for blood.
The King's noble son, Prince Rhaegar, distrusted by his father for his popularity, yet respected across the Kingdoms for his skill in battle and his honour, has taken Lyanna Stark, only child of Lord Paramount Rickard Stark of the North, and spirited her away in a mad act of love. In response, Lord Rickard and his son and her Brandon, arrive at the capital of Kings Landing, to solve the crisis. Arrested by the Mad King, both were executed, and the heads of the younger Starks called for.
Now, Robert Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End and betrothed of Lyanna, and Eddard Stark, the new Lord of Winterfell, along with their mentor, Jon Arryn of the Vale, have called their banners, and risen in rebellion against the Crown's tyranny. As the winds of war sweep across Westeros, the smallest of people can change the tide of war, and the fate of the Seven Kingdoms. Will it be you?
Hello everyone, and welcome to Game of Thrones: War of the Usurper, my latest attempt at RP creation.
IC- viewtopic.php?f=31&t=378314&p=28731112#p28731112
We will be exploring the the magical world of A Song of Ice and Fire, and changing the course of Westerosi history as we know it. Beginning just days after the start of Robert's Rebellion, some 15 years before the start of the TV Series, this RP will be a character driven affair, with significant political and faction based gameplay.
There are a few Rules to follow:
Rules
1) The OP and Co-OP's word is law.
2) This is a fantasy RP but try and be realistic. Travel time, combat, and politicking are all important, dont go too crazy
3) No god modding, metagaming etc.
4) This is going to be a freeform RP, time will vary between posts.
5) This will be an RP based on character development and progression, do not expect storylines to develop for you, make your own and involve other players. If you are stuck with nothing to do, OP/CO-OP will give your a task or an idea.
6) Keep the Lore restricted to A Song of Ice and Fire material only
7) Have FUN
And now we move on to the character creation stage.
Feel free to make your own character/Houses, there is plenty of empty room on the Westeros Map. Restrictions apply to the Great Houses (Lannisters, Tullys, Baratheons etc..) as they will not be interchangeable with new houses. If you create your own House, please follow APP number two as well as the main app.
Thanks everyone for reading, I'm no good at OP making but I hope you have the time to drop an APP.
