Out of Character thread

Well King Tamur is gone. Hail to King Braden. Or rather Duke as the other Houses tend to call him.
I just want to reaffirm that I'll be playing for the House of Austria as second elector. My desires for Italy will be noticable in my role-play, so no need to make any changes ooc.
I'd like to take this thread to introduce my cast as second elector of Austria. I have seen that we are supposed to play nameless electors but from a role-playing perspective giving my 'nameless elector' a name and a personality helps me a great deal. I hope this is not against the rules. If it is please notify me and I will return everything back to usual.

My 'nameless elector' will be the old retainer Conrad von Schüsselen, who has followed Emperor Heinrich in his recent campaigns to Italy, hence his obsession with the Italian City States and his disgust for the traitorous Milanese who will have to be brought back under Imperial control.
Once a suitable avatar within the game is found I'm planning on letting the already not very healthy Conrad die of natural causes and have my new avatar be a scholar of the late Conrad von Schüsselen, who may be influenced by his mentor but will be a whole new personality in all other aspects.

I would also like to apply for the post of the spy Rainald. I won't have too many requests right now I'd just like to take him for some Spy Diary I have been thinking of for the Roleplay thread. If no one else wants to act as him that is.
My only request to GH would be to not get him killed to quickly.
I would like to take him on as second avatar and still play my role as second elector of Austria. Please let me know whether you have any objections against this.

I have also PM'ed Braden as my landlord to outline some of my roleplay-ideas. So check your inbox Braden.

Cheers!

I reckon that we're going to have some serious fun in the competition between the ducal houses.

Bavaria will look to conquer Venice and Milan. Austria also Venice and Hungary. Franconia Danes and Poland. Swabia, the best house, will have France.

Econ21, I think we should have a Duchy of Swabia meeting sometime. Any thoughts?

Also, when is the game starting? I can't wait to get stuck into this.

With the Houses, they should meet and the Head of Houses (if there are any) should be able to say something like

We need to stop Swabia, they are getting too powerful, ill give a general troops to take a settlement to stop Swabia's advances. It could add to the Roleplaying.

Also, in Beefeater's HRE AAR, the way he outlined the houses, that would be a really good idea.
