I'll probably post my sheet tomorrow or Sunday. I think Robin is 16 and Aemon 20 so I'll make my character 18. Is there any particular hair/eye colour I should go for as a Rosemont?

As a house, you guys should decide upon the most common hair colour(s) and eye colour(s), but pretty much anything is fair game, save for platinum blonde or flamboyantly dyed hair. Platinum blonde is Targaryen, and none of you will have Targaryen blood. Not through being [&@%!] or [&@%!] of [&@%!], yeah no. Tyroshi love brights, and will wear flashy clothes, and dye their hair and beards in blues, greens, reds, etc. Would not recommend. Bit of a social stigma, as one might expect. Too garrish, and you'd be seen as Tyroshi, not Westerosi.

Purple eyes are PROBABLY a no-no, as well. Indigo, lilac eyes and the like are traits found in people of the blood of Old Valyria--so, once again, Targaryens. House Dayne had some purple eyes, too.

But any other hair/eye colour is pretty much fair game. Up to you guys. Maybe there was some mingling with a [&@%!] born in the Westerlands, and someone got passed down some shiny Lannister goldilocks. Or some Riverlands blood--Red brown hair, blue or green eyes. Northerners? Black/brown hair, brown eyes, green eyes. Maybe ancestors from Dorne, or across the Narrow Sea. Curly hair. Long hair. Straight hair. Whatever, really. Go nuts, excepting for those few exceptions.

[All hail! ●]

I'll get my sheet up tomorrow.

[Kerr ●]

I'm planning to go for brown hair and green eyes. If that's okay with everyone.

[Baloth-Kul ●]

I believe Robin's appearance was red hair and...I dunno. Green eyes? --So between that and your plans, Kerr, it seems that your house should be mostly, if not exclusively, brown or red haired, with...whatever eyes. Green, blue, brown. Or you guys can (re)coordinate it however you like.

Oh god jesus that's terrifying, please, no. But, excuse me. Ahem.

First of all, you have 29 points, and not 30--it'd be 35, but the -5 because he's a child, yeah, but you still have 1 point left over. If you wanted to make it a -6 to CASPIE, then...sure?

It seems unclear to me--what exactly are the BENEFITS of the Eerie trait? Might want to message Dirty Spaceman about that, in fact.

Did the lord and lady not have any accounts or funds outside of the keep, no other relatives or allies who might have rebuilt the keep? It's unlikely, but not impossible that all their wealth was in the estate when it burned. Who was House Cillínglas sworn to? They probably would have rebuilt the keep, but the debt would need to be repaid in time with increased taxes and such. It isn't impossible that the keep wasn't rebuilt, but it's a little dicey--final call is Dirty Spaceman's, of course, but I'd say it's okay for you to gloss over the fine details of it. Maybe details for you to consider writing down for your own purposes, I dunno.

Another minor detail, but I would recommend against capitalizing when referring to the brothers as The Twins. The Twins is the name of the stronghold occupied by the Freys, that crosses the Green Fork. Just to avoid potential confusion. Not a big deal.

You might want to consider writing the history of how House Cillínglas was founded, and perhaps...message one or all of us DMs, how the keep burned down, if you plan on making it a future plot point. Perhaps the brothers could eventually reclaim their lands and rebuild their keep.

Otherwise, looks good. Apart from that creepy child. Nyeh.

[Hissien ●]

I mean I already got it approved...

[Baloth-Kul ●]

If you don't want the left over CASPIE point, fine. But I shall...conferrrr with my DM brethren on what exactly your trait will mean. Because I'm uncertain.

[Kerr ●]

Here's my sheet. Robert Rosemont, the second son.


So your character is literally a backstabber Baloth? Very trustworthy. We're all going to be safe around him.

I debated whether to make a son or daughter. A son would allow for more freedom but dealing with the societal expectations placed on women would be interesting too. Hmm.

Really what I decided to do is take your typical slacker character type and make them a noble.

[Dirty Spaceman ●]

Hair/Eye colours: For reference, Lord Rosemont has light brown hair and brownish-blue eyes, and Lady Rosemont (due to Connington lineage) has red hair and green eyes. Anything else (in the realm of realistic a.k.a. common colours) could be assumed to have been inherited from a grandparent.

@Hiss: My mistake, I guess I sent you mixed signals when I responded to your PM. I'd just gone over the key bits to make sure that your character and trait ideas were OK, which they were. Really, though, now that you've added in that extra CASPIE point, your actual sheet is good; however, I would like it if you and/or Shadow could devise a House sheet for House Cillinglas, along the lines of the ones in the OP for Houses Rosemont and Wendbridge. Some history and extra info for them should lay to rest most of the concerns that Baloth has already brought up. Other than that, you're approved.

@Kerr: Lookin' good.

[Rook ●]

The sheet is largely the same, just with a few minor edits and details, the largest of which being the name-change.


I thought on what Baloth said, so I didn't fill in the CASPIE for Beauty. In lieu of attributes, maybe the DM could decide what she would succeed at. Alternatively, I could use CASPIE, but have the dog take a penalty to the total number of points like a child character.

@Kerr; "Tell me: if I'd stabbed the Mad King in the belly instead of the back, would you admire me more?"

@Rook; Unless my co-DMs disagree, I think it best we forego CASPIE for your dog. A dog has less capacity than even a lordling, so yeah. We can determine successes for your dog, but one thing--personality and temperament and such. Is Beauty defensive, aggressive, utterly passive? Cowardly? Brave? And would you and my co-fellows prefer that you control the dog's actions, or that we do? I'm fine either way. The dog just can't, of course, be given a complex command to go to this place and scout it out, as one would expect. This isn't D&D.

[Dirty Spaceman ●]

I think Rook can describe Beauty's passive actions (just giving presence to the character, e.g. having her play around or follow Edmund or interact with other PCs), and when he actually wants her to accomplish something relatively serious, then he can have Edmund give a basic command (not like going to a place and scouting it out ) and we will DM its outcome (to determine how well Beauty actually interprets the command plus as how successful she is in executing it). And due to dogs having excellent smell and hearing, we could occasionally do a check roll where she may detect any hidden details or objects in the scene. That sound good?

As for Edmund himself, accepted, and you can probably take out "Subject to Change" next to his age unless of course he's one of those famous magical Westerosi age-shifters.

Work in progress due to images being hunted by me.



In the spirit of the Hound, [&@%!] the pictures, [&@%!] the waiting and [&@%!] it.

Okay, I'll tentatively add your sheet to the OP because I like to update things, but you need to fill out Physical Appearance and Starting Apparel(*) A$AP, regardless of whether you've found an image or not. (You probably shouldn't have submitted an unfinished sheet.) And if you can't find an image, remember you really don't need one. It can help, sure, but it's equally good to let everyone formulate their own image of the character based on your descriptions.

(*) Unless you subscribe to .

Also, a couple of backstory things: if he was "tossed aside" by his mother, then how come he remained with her until he was 6? And maybe change "the [&@%!] of House Lannister" to "a [&@%!] [etc.]", as from what I know "the [&@%!] of House Y/Castle X" is typically used for one sired by the ruling lord, not a lesser member.

Oops. Thanks for telling me and fix'd.

Edit: Also, I found this:
Should be helpful for seeing what kind of arms and armor are common in Westeros.
