Introduction
Mild Interactivity approved by Qorten.
Character submissions are closed.
Hello all, inspired by @Zamarak500’s Dragon Kin AAR I have decided to start up my own AAR with reader character submissions. My decision came from mainly two factors; one, it encourages me to stay with this AAR and finish it at all costs hopefully ending the string of unfinished AARs and providing you with a complete story; two, it creates an ensemble cast for the AAR instantly which you guys will hopefully be attached to as your creations.
As for the AAR proper, I will be using the A Game of Thrones mod for CK2 and starting in the year 8005. It will follow the rise of a new dragon rider motivated by Aegon’s conquest. This dragon rider will be starting on the island of Koj in the Summer Isles with the eventual goal of uniting the Free Cities and conquering all of the de jure New Valyrian Empire with the support of the reader-submitted characters.
Now for the character creation. I will have 7 slots available which I understand is a small amount and not a lot of people will be able to participate but it will be easier to keep track of all their descendants which will in turn allow me to flesh out every family including of course the main one. Your character can be either from Westeros (including Wildings), Summer Isles, or one of the Free Cities (Pentos, Braavos, Lys, Qohor, Norvos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, Volantis Lorath).
Culture and Religion
If your character is from one of the Free Cities they may choose one of these religions: Trios, Weeping Lady, Valyrian, R’hllor, Bearded Priests, Black Goat of Qohor, Gods of Lorath, Moonsingers. It is preferable if you pick a religion that most corresponds with the city the character is from (their culture) but you are free to make a Trios worshiping Pentoshi.
If your character is from the Summer Islands they will have to be Gods of the Summer Isles.
If your character is from Westeros they may choose one of these religions: Faith of the Seven, Old Gods, Drowned God, Beyond the Wall Old Gods. It is preferable if the character’s faith corresponds with the area where they are from but once again, you are free to choose.
The cultures available for characters that are from Westeros are: Wildling, Skagosi, Hill Clansman, Northman, Crannogman, Riverman, Valeman, Ironborn, Westerman, Clawman, Westerosi Valyrian, Stormlander, Reachaman, Stone/Sand/Salty Dornishman.
The only culture available to characters from the Summer Islands is Summer Islander.
The cultures available for characters that are from the Free Cities are: Pentoshi, Braavosi, Lysene, Qohorik, Norvoshi, Myrish, Tyroshi, Volantene/Essosi Valyrian, Lorathi.
If your character is from Westeros you may choose to have them be related to one of the Westerosi houses in which case the culture chosen for them is the one that corresponds to their house, otherwise just provide a house name and culture for your character. Essossi characters will also require a house name.
Since Essosi characters do not have pleasure of the opportunity being attached to a well-known house, they can be provided with one of these artifacts: Valyrian steel sword, Valyrian Arakh, Valyrian dagger, Dragonbone bracelet/statue/cup/amulet/ring/necklace/whip/bow/axe/sword.
