Call for Character Proposals

posted by Ginger at 10:50 PM, December 29, 2003 | Filed under : Character Proposals | Comments and Followups

Because we’ve had five lurkers, all of whom we’d love to have play, inquire about the open spots, we’ve decided that the best thing to do is to ask for concepts and see which ones best fit with our group and current plotlines. We won’t be making decisions on the concepts for some time (depending on how the move goes, perhaps until the far side of the move) but we wanted to put the information about what we wanted out there now so people would have the maximum time to think about their ideas.

If any lurkers who have not to date expressed interest would like to join, this is the moment to tell us. It is possible to come in without being versed in the detailed history of the game, as some of the players can tell you from previous experience.

We expect that we will get more good proposals than we can take and will both face difficult choices and end up turning down (for now at least) characters who would make excellent additions to the game for sheer lack of space.

• A new character that has never been played before.
• A character whose background and parentage fits in the existing HOC background.
• A character that fills a niche not otherwise occupied in the game.
• A character that brings out aspects of the game that are currently underutilized (e.g., NPCs, setting)

1. Who is this character? What is his or her background and Amber parentage? (unknown royal blood/flexible is possible)
2. Why has this character not appeared/been mentioned in the campaign to date?
3. What does this character add to the campaign? What is his or her unique niche?
4. What kinds of plots would this character generate/participate in? Where does he or she fit into/latch onto existing relationships and characters?
5. Why do you want to play this character in House of Cards?

Contact the GMs with any questions you may have.
