Of Gods and Kings: A Medieval Character RP [OOC/OPEN/REBOOT]

[Sveltlana]

So guys, Arthur's mother has been assassinated (she survives actually but heavily scarred, think Phantom of the Opera) and Arthur wants vengeance. Anybody wants to be on his bad side?

Edvard Stark Tullestedt be like "ha, that's why you don't meddle into politics"

[Ravea]

I have never heard of that. Is Littlefinger a type of food?

Also, Ghondie, I added an image to Andrew's app. Come now. You knew it was coming.

-_-
Really? I'm flattered.

Brilliant yet dickish moves are my specialty

But all you have to do to avoid our iron sanctions is to vote Allister.

I can already tell that Arthur and Alistair is gonna try to kill each other at some point. I can already imagine the duel; two young and gallant kings fitted in shining plate armor, fighting to the death for the throne of Ghondra.

Or skip the theatrics and hire an assassin to poison his soup, like any sensible person would do.

[Ghondra]

Sveltlana, I was wondering if House Tullestedt and House Cunningham have been binded by marriage. Perhaps Edvard and Arthur's mother are siblings?

Good point.

[Chedastan]

This looks interesting, I might make an app soon.

With my character not being magical, could you make a comment regarding the app?

If we could pull it off, sure, as Edvard is a firstborn in his mid-40s.

Its decent, not at all bad, but its a little vague. What is the forgotten order? Is it religious? What's the function and mission of the order? I recommend you also make a guild app to clarify.

God, the GoT references you make in the IC are borderline direct copying. But I like it nonetheless. Oh, and mixing Tyrells (the Wharlaeys) and Targaryens (also now the Wharlaeys, R+L) is cool.

[New Jordslag]

NS Name: You clearly know my name.
Character Name: Catherine Forrest.
Age: 22.
Gender: Female.
Image: Meh, I'll post one later.
House, if any: Her loyalty is to House Serra.
Personality: Catherine, or Cat, as she often gets called, is a very upstanding and righteous citizen. She believes in the power of the Monarch above all else, and detests battles fought for no good reason. She does her best to care for those close to her, and would gladly give her life for a friend. She seems like the perfect soldier; but she is not. On the inside, Catherine feels quite empty, having felt guilty after leaving her brother. She's still quite afraid of what's become of him, and would jump at the chance to find him.
Biography/Background: Catherine's backstory is the same as Andrew's, up until she ran away from him. From there, she traveled on foot through the countryside, enduring harsh winters, blazing summers, and dangerous storms with only her skills of survival. Eventually, she settled down in Daevalon where, wishing to destroy the evil forces in the world, she became a Soldier. Through both her unrelenting bloodthirstyness in battle and her upstanding loyalty to the Duchess, she worked her way up to become a Sworn Knight. Now she seeks to find her long-lost Brother, but, since her loyalty to House Serra comes first, she keeps putting that off.
Equipment: Full Plate Armor, Longsword, Shortsword, and all that other Knight stuff.
Strengths: Outstanding Military Record, Fanatical Devotion, Intense Upper Body Strength
Weaknesses: Very Gullible and Naïve, traumatic memories of the past, hated by Criminals
Theme Song: Angel with a Shotgun.
Other: Catherine is ambidextrous. Get rekt.
RP Sample: Bruh.
Did you read everything?: No. I'm blind and therefore cannot read. Happy?
Time Zone: Eastern Seaboard, as you clearly know.

Have I? I didn't really notice that much... God I really should lay off GoT
Alright give me ONE reference that I made.

ACCEPTED.

Did they have Wheelchairs back in the Middle Ages? I don't think they did.

[Ghondra]

Ah it's fine. Suspension of disbelief is like 60% of story-telling, especially in an era as historically obscure as the Middle Ages.

Look just suspend disbelief and you'll be fine. When you watch Star Wars you don't think how the Death Star's Superlaser work right?

Poor comparison. The Death Star's Superlaser belongs in the time and tech level the movie is set in. The same does not go for a Wheelchair in the Middle Ages.

See, Suspension of Disbelief does not mean that you can just bring in tech that doesn't belong there. It means you don't question all of the Character's actions. Suspension of Disbelief does not, however, include something invented centuries later, like the Wheelchair.

[Cymrea]

Character Name: Catherine Forrest.
House, if any: Her loyalty is to House Serra.

Sweeeet. That app took a bit of effort; I appreciate the nod to Daevalon, Jord.

*sigh*

Look. All I'm saying that, if a crippled character were to walk around, he would be carried by his servants, or, if his injuries were less severe, use a cane. But the wheelchair was invented nearly 500 years after the end of the Middle Ages. Artistic Liscense, Suspension of Disbelief; those things just don't justify it.

I actually made that character and his sister before I noticed your app. House Serra should be suitable for Catherine to serve.

The term "wheelchair" is so generic, I think I can imagine a peculiar middle-age contraption consisting of a chair with large wheels that would allow the lord to move around his home.

He would probably be carried around outside, though

Appreciated nonetheless.

If no one has claimed it as their kingdom as yet, Ghondie, could we officially designate realm #4 as Daevalon, ruled by House Serra and Queen Jennavir?

[Chedastan]

Question before I start making my app, how many dukes and duchesses have been established already?

[Cymrea]

According to the OP, 2/22 duchies have been canonised, although I think a few more have been named, as it were. In the app I wrote for Daevalon, there's six major cities listed - any of those could be the capital strongholds of a duchy.

Lots of room to play with.

Lord Salt n' Pork isn't in what we would call a modern wheelchair; he is gonna be getting pushed around or going very slow if he wants to get anywhere. Early "wheelchairs" have been around in China for a long long time, and Europeans used very ghetto versions until they were refined by the time of the Renaissance.

Clever nickname, if I may say...
