A simple idea, just do the following to make yourself an alter ego in the scenario:

1) Choose a county you want to be a count of
2) Choose a first name for your character
3) Choose a dynasty, additional dynasties can be added if you want your own
4) Choose stats and traits (can be realistic or can be over- or underpowered) Remember Health and Fertility too!
5) Choose a DNA and birthdate for yourself
6) Choose culture and religion for yourself
7) If you like, you can do 2-6 for your alter ego's wife

There are about 850 provinces to choose from, so positions are limited. Also we can add our favourite admins and mods as kings to rule over us. If a mod / admin wants to have him- / herself potrayed in particular way and having a particular kingship, he (she) is welcome to do parts 1 to 7 above as well (though replacing county with kingdom). If an admin / mod doesn't want to appear in the scenario, just inform me and I can make sure he (she) won't.

EDIT: Oh yeah, to have characters in reasonable limits, I'll cap stats at 10 and max 5 traits per person. ;)

EDIT2: Oh yeah, due to game engine, all characters who are under 18 at scenario start will lose lustful from traits in the game itself. Meaning any character who is born later than jan 1st 1048, won't have lustful in the game. Sorry, but that is how the game works. :(

Well, it's not so absolutely serious scenario, so you can Grey Eminence if you want.

EDIT: Added a point about culture and religion in first post. I suppose english / catholic and frankish / catholic for you and your wife, Tombom?

Well, I want to be the ruler of Savo. I want to be Heretic, Zealot, Honest, Lazy, Wise, Vengeful and Gruff Diplomat. My wife is a Fortune Builder and Energetic. Both me and my wife have superior stats. If Christians, our names are Christian and Magdalena with family name Sommarleijon (COA has lion and sun), if pagan we are Ukko and Akka with familyname Aurinko (COA has a crude sun).

:D
 
Well, I'd like Cieszyn, I'll decide on the names and such later, as I'm doing some research into my ancestral past in Poland.
 
January 1st 1066 is scenario startdate.

I plan to make all forumites christians, so that they would all be playable (sorry for non-christian forummembers). Culture is free though (except mongol obviously unallowed :D), so Jarkko can have finnish catholics or orthodoxes if he likes.

EDIT: Although if there is enough preference and people don't mind having their characters having 'unplayable' religion, I can put pagans and muslims in too.

I realize Jakob isn't in the db/character names file, but it's the German version of my name, so...
 
Character name csv file is irrelevant in name choosing, you can have anything as your name. Very long names tend to be difficult though and if you want odd letters, please type them down here, so I can copy/paste them into place.

I will edit dynasties file, as said in the first post.
 
It is crazy :D
