Re: Character Discussion & Creation
So... character concepts.
I'm thinking a Hedge Knight or possible Sell Sword, depending on the nature of the group.
I know the OP in the GM's Wanted thread mentioned setting the game in the time of Ser Duncan the Tall, is that the era you're thinking of Caladin?
Also the OP mentioned more of a wandering band of "knight errants" rather than the more typical established Noble House style of ASOIAF gameplay. Is that the direction you are thinking of running this game Caladin?
One idea I did have for the "roaming band" concept was what if we were part of or trying to form our own "Free Company" (like a budding 2nd Sons or forming the nucleus of what will develop into our own version of the Golden Company). Of course depending on the Era, Free Companies may be more limited in their existence on Westeros (since they're more commonly encountered across the Sea among the Free Cities).
Another take on this idea (though it might move away from the typical "knight" concept) would be if we played Ironborn who were all members of the same ship's crew (Iron Island raiders... or "pirates" from the perspective of those we raid).
