Plot Ideas! - ThistleProse - 18.Apr.13
Go wild, guys! Brainstorm to your heart's content!
Some ideas I've got:
- General contuses is that the Lord needs to step down/get knocked off
- Bastards angling for the Lord rank
- Heir's children angling for Lord/Lady rank
- Lots of I wanna rule the hold bitchery opportunities, really XD
- XD apparently that's all I've got off the top of my head.
AND POTENTIAL B'JIN DRAMA. I totally want someone to adopt his kiddy LOL. The brat would be R'nd's age (so almost 30) and he should look enough like B'jin to cause a double take >D hehehe

Tossing it out there that S'kef has two grown daughters who are bound to recognize him as well :o

I would be happy to help flesh out a family tree for the current Lord Holder that includes all of the children (dead, alive, legitimate, illegitimate) of his four wives (and their bastards, too!). The sordid Hold family drama is going to be suuuuper interesting, and a family tree would help keep these bitches sorted out, lol.

Go for it! XD
Re: Plot Ideas! - Lauren - 18.Apr.13
Will do! Do you have a general feel for how big the Lord Holder's complete family should be? I want to be vague enough for people to have the freedom to choose their character's design (ie, I won't assign genders to children in the family unless you tell me to), but I think a skeleton family tree would help. I can be as general or specific as you want, lol. If you don't care, I'll go nuts with the details and see what you think. :D
Re: Plot Ideas! - ThistleProse - 18.Apr.13
Generally speaking, only the details I included in the Character opportunities. As with you, I wanted to leave it as open as possible while outlining a boundary :)
I'd say go all out on the deceased individuals (gender/ages/even names if you want) but otherwise leave it fairly open. The women brought in can have ties to other major/minor Holds (men are less likely to move in, since women would be shipped off to live with them) so you can have some fun with that too if you want lol. There are some character relations floating around somewhere, but I forget where the thread is.
I think the legitimate family will be smaller, and probably more direct lines; but you can go wild with bastards. I kind of envision the holder family sort of Game-of-Thrones-y... Knocking each other off, mysterious deaths, bastards hiding in shadows so they don't lose their life... But I'm pretty blood thirsty like that LOL.

Ohohohohoho, we're on the same page then. Maybe a history of madness here and a dash of betrayal there, and the Telgar soup will be nicely seasoned.
I'll definitely look for the character relations thread. That should help quite a bit.
