Custom Character Hotseat

[complete noob:(]

OP has been edited to include the template. Although before anyone can begin working on their custom characters, factions need to be claimed. Three factions have been claimed already (Dr Mac -> Stark; vozd -> Arryn; Riverknight -> Mudd (assuming RL means riverlands?)). That means 7 are still available.

Could I get Hoare?

[Myth]

I could go with either the Ironborn or Lannisters. Apart from getting a custom character, will anything else be different? Will this handle like an RPG with personal income needed to raise and maintain troops? Or do we just get a character and have an otherwise regular hotseat with the faction?

House Zenith traces its lineage to the nobility of Old Ghis. Roughly 5000 years ago, Adum al Zenith migrated to Westeros roughlyat the outset of war between the Ghiscari Empire and the Dragonlords of the Valyrian Freehold. Fiercely pious and adherent to a little known faith, House Zenith was unique for its relative pacifism and characteristic self-imposed isolation. Warfare was never a talent that flowed through Zenith blood, but the family has always made up for what it lacked in force, with cunning, ingenuity, and erudition. As such, its liege lords, both in Essos, and here in Dorne, have always valued their service. For its service in Sunspear as highly esteemed teachers and public administrators, House Zenith was given the lands immediately north of Sandstone. Their ancestral castle, the Garnet Tower, is unique in that it keeps no garrison, and is rumored to be the home of the largest library on the continent of Westeros, with the exception of the Citadel. The small castle is peopled by the family itself, a relatively small number of castle retainers, and around 8 other families of non-noble birth with whom House Zenith has enjoyed especially close relationships. Having had its lands carved out of what they had considered their territory, bad blood lingers between House Zenith and House Qorgyle of Sandstone.



Shuah al Zenith of Dorne


Over the centuries, Westerosi society has chipped away, however minimally, at the rugged individualism of the Zeniths. While Cleon al Zenith, current lord of the Garnet remains at the Towers, all of his sons, have departed for Sunspear in pursuit of their own endeavors. This includes the heir to the Garnet, Shuah, who, in his role as Sunspear's outspoken administrator, has built a reputation of his own. As the continent appears to be speeding towards a large shift in the balance of power in Westeros, Dorne looks to its leaders to guide them to the right side of history.

[The Red Viper]

If there is another hotseat like this could someone please PM seems like a fantastic hotseat to be apart of.

Thank you for doing this.

[complete noob:(]

The Red Viper will take over as Yronwood.

Also, I will be gone for a week starting tomorrow. I'd like everyone to have their characters done by the time I get back. You will have had around 2 weeks by then, which should be plenty of time.

[The Red Viper]

I wanted to ask how is everyone creating their own sigil? I have found a few websites but they do not have the emblem I need,
Any help would be much appreciated.

Faction: Yronwood

House Ma'rak traces its descent back to a time before the long night; they descend from a legendary King called Tigris the first Blood of the Tiger.
Over time the Tigarnian Empire rose controlling all of Essos under the claws of the Tiger. They built a city of wonder in Ashai called Tigaranus, a city unrivalled in majesty and wonder, not even Valariya came close to its magnificence, yet it did not last. Suddenly just before the rise of the Ghiscari Empire, The Tigarian emperor disappeared trying to find the fabled White Tiger. Subsequently the Empire fell into civil war between his three sons, the horror they unleashed on Essos was unspeakable. The war raged for many years devastating the royal family and there fearsome Tiger legions, even the city of Tigaranus with all its splendour and wonder burnt to the ground and most of its citizens with it. In the midst of this chaos Ma’rak grew up. Born on the very day his father left, he saw his brothers rip their empire apart. By the time the war was over most of Ma’rak’s family was dead, the royal army was scarcely even a fraction of its former glory, yet Ma’rak barely 18 years of age chose to do the unthinkable he took his army and a few of his people to Westros and carved a new homeland in the mountains of Dorne. Ma’rak never forgot his past but wanted a new future for his family, thus he took the Orange Tiger as his Sigel and the house words; Blood, Sacrifice and Ferocity.

Biography:
King Ma’rak VI had a troubled upbringing, his father was assassinated by one of his own generals; forcing Ma’rak to flee to Essos where he mysteriously the fable White Tiger. Returning to Westros he slew his father’s killer and reasserted his control over his father’s kingdom but lost his mother in the process. Yet like his forefather before him Ma’rak VI chose to change the family Sigel from an orange tiger to his famous White Tiger on a black banner. For the Blood of the Tiger run’s through his veins, He has sacrificed for his people; he has the ferocity of the Tiger lords before him.
