[X] Plan: Sword Of The Seven
-[X]A Hedge Knight: Your father was a killer. Your father was a manslayer, and a brilliant one at that, silent as a ghost, but always a great killer.
-[X]A Septa: Your mother was a septa, a woman of the faith, learned and true… but however deflowered and loved your father, even if they could not openly marry each other.
-[X]You Dreamed of Dragons: You dreamed of a terrible thing to come. of Dragons... and Death. Some call you a prophet... others a monster who must be destroyed.

[X] Plan Early Start for the Stepstones
 
Can I just say that the Stepstone plan feels... conflicted? Clickbaity?

Like, we will most likely get a bonus for sailing that we will never use because we have a dragon. Also I don't see how any of the options picked will help us get "an early start" on the Stepstones war.

@Magoose would a bonus to sailing help at all with fighting ships on dragonback?

[X] Plan: From humle beginnings
-[X]A Fisherman: Your father sailed the waves of the sea, in search of the bounty of the sea, to feed his family, and to feed his fellow man. There was much that could be said, but he knew his trade, and you knew he would teach you that same trade.
-[X]An industrious woman: Your mother was always working, be it with your father or by herself, always working for coin to pay for her home, and her health.
-[X]You made friends with a Princess: You met a young girl at the cliffside, who was tired and cheery, lost and afraid... You led her back to her home, and the men waiting for her. She said her name and you yours. And she never forgot you,

  • [X] Plan Early Start for the Stepstones
    -[X]A Sailor: Your Father was a man who sailed the sea, with adventure and heart all through the world. Even in silence, he knew what was out there. Adventure, fame and fortune.
    -[X]You did know your mother: You never knew your mother, for she was gone. You just had a stepmother, who loved you, but knew more than she let on.
    -[X]You have a Dragon: You ride the Dragon Grey Ghost, whom you tamed as a child of 3 when you got lost wandering around the Volcanic island of Dragonstone. It saw a fellow silent brother and recognized kinship. All of House Targaryen has noticed you, and while they do not fear you… they do believe you might be a threat to their power.
    [X] Plan Dragonsmith
    -[X]A Blacksmith: Steel was what your father worked with. Horseshoes, armor, chain, and plate, to even helms and rings. He was a master, a wonderful worker, but was as fiery as his forge. Always looking for the man who will make him rich.

Wrong vote my friend.
 
With the current winning vote. Seems like the Targs are gonna know about us with being the rider of Greyghost. So curious on what they will do? Gonna bring him to court so they can influence him? And we seem pretty young still so Jaehaerys still ruling so great king what you going to do?

Well for one thing: there aren't enough Dragon riders in the world, and we will have plenty of time to deal with… other issues.

Jaehaerys On the other hand might want to marry us to one his kids or grand kids immediately.

Because no low born can ride a dragon or being controlled by the targs

Yep. There are like what a handful of Dragon riders currently? Jaehaerys but he's getting pretty old so not sure he counts? Daemon, Rhaenyra(?), Rhaenys, Laena(?), Laenor(?) and Jaehaerys wife if she is alive.

Question now becomes who does Jaehaerys marry him to? Not a lot of young Targs currently. At least him age.

Yeah Jaehaerys would want to make sure our character is tied to the Targs.

Given the winning plan I can already see two things happening.

One, we are brought to court or at least into the castle of Dragonstone.

Two, people think this is somehow Daemon's fault, despite for once having nothing to do with it.

There are currently... 10, but some are too small to really be counted, so six of combat capability?

it's complicated. Very complicated.

Well there is The Realms delight that has been born in the same year as us, and we share the Valyrian features...

I got three guesses for ya, and the first two don't count.

Possibly, depending on what happens and who actually becomes Monarch from the great council.

Because who knows, perhaps time will be a flat circle.

I mean he is the Conciliator. He will make sure his family remains in power.

Most likely, as a tamed dragon is not cheap to keep fed.

I mean... We have a few candidates for who your mother is. if that vote wins.
