THEATRICS AT LAST, WE WILL HAVE LUCIEN BECOME INSUFFERABLE! In all seriousness let's train up theatrics, regular diplo, and intrigue for social skills, throw in camouflage and sword and shield for martial stuff, and maybe take tactical command and sailing out of respect for dear old dad.

Remember this is one time skip before things get serious across the world.

Also Essos is about to go on fire.

The three daughters uniting upsets the balance of power
 
[X]You were at Dragonstone, looking at The Sheepstealer for the first time: She was a strange beast, but she seemed to be acknowledging and accepting your presence. You were trying to teach that blasted glutton to fish, and stop stealing sheep. And protect her from the Cannibal and idiots who sought to tame her.
 
Well the Council worked out just gravy for us, seriously i dont know how much better it could uave gone.
 
Well the Great Council vote was really close, meaning more people are against Viserys. That's going to make the Dance more fun. We are officially a prince with all it implies and need to choose what we learned over the years. For our personal banner I'm thinking grey three headed dragon on blue background, referencing Grey Ghost and the Sea.

-[X] Banner (A one headed dragon on a blue field, the dragon is flying above a westerosi ship colored black)
-[X]You were with Daemon, on the Road, with his children: He was angry and mad, but the moment you saw Maester Vaegon… sitting at a tree. "Good, we don't have much time."

What do y'all think of this, I'll clean it up later (and get some nice pictures) but I'm thinking the skills are a decent mix of training and learning.

Edit: Going to post this edit to see if the picture works, I'm also going to work on getting an actual banner designed but for now the description is all I have, it's supposed to be gray ghost over the sea and the ships of our youth.

Edit: The picture doesn't work.

Edit 3: Gumiho said the link was working so I'm putting the plan up for votes, I'll post the completed banner later.

Well pic works for me now. But having found the rp you got it from, i find it hilarious that Targaryen OC is onown as the drunk.

I pulled the best "young Targaryen" art I could find, didn't even realize it was attached to an RP. Here's hoping our escapade with the Northmen doesn't become a too regular thing.

Um the pic isn't working for me?

No offense. but I really want to see the pic.

Alright, now it should work, apparently the picture has been used a couple of times across a number of sources and sites, last one said viserys and this one says aegon iii, so its anyones guess as to who it actually is (might actually be that RP character gumiho was talking about), but its also one of the only pieces I found that's of a child Targaryen.
 
Question. It says we cannot train dragon riding (I assume that it is because it is already so high). Can we train Dragon fighting (as in fighting from a dragon and with a dragon)?
 
@Tabascoheath Why limit tactical command to small groups of men? We can just write in Military Tactics, which could cover anyhting from commanding small teams, battles, raids, etc. unless that's too broad? Also, are we forgoing strategy as well? We're a pretty martial character, so I wouldn't mind leaning into the more macro aspects of waging war.

Gonna be honest here, I see no need for either camouflage or theatrics skill...

Edit: Just gonna add another plan here.

Differentiating Military and Naval tactics to make ground warfare distinct from naval warfare. Also, though I consider the Lying skill useful, am not sure if we want to keep Lucien honest or not so I replaced it. Otherwise, borrowed a lot from Tabascoheath's plan.

[X]You were serving as a Squire with Daemon, partaking in a tournament: The King's Landing Tournament grounds were incredible, and finally putting your training to good use.
 
[X]Plan: Princely Education

like this plan

hopfully we give our siblings dragons of their own

maybe kill the Cannibal to increase dragon numbers
 
@ColonelRogers @Tabascoheath , there is a lot of redundancy in both your plans (i.e. Theatrics help us to also lie, naval command is folded down with Sailing) let's take advantage of the things that can be taught by both Daemon and our parents...

[X]Plan: No Time To Explain!!! Mysterious Maester Edition.
-[X]Lucien
-[X]Train skill: sword and shield
-[X]Train skill: horseback riding
-[X]Train skill: Court Diplomacy
-[X]Train skill: Navigation and Sailing

-[X]Learn skill: Theatrics
-[X]Learn skill: Camouflage
-[X]Learn skill: Poetry
-[X]Learn skill: Music and Dancing
-[X] Banner (A one headed dragon on a blue field, the dragon is flying above a westerosi ship colored black)
-[X]You were with Daemon, on the Road, with his children: He was angry and mad, but the moment you saw Maester Vaegon… sitting at a tree. "Good, we don't have much time."

Reasoning... We know a war is coming so let´s get down the rest of the extremely useful combat skills that Daemon can taught us (camouflage, horseriding, sword and shield, lance, and bow) Dimplomcy and Theatrics are a great combo (an also as proven by Daemon they can help a lot to be more popular) and I think that Music and poetry can help us a lot to open up...

And about the adventure, I kind of want to know what that 96 was about since it was left hanging the last time.

-[X]Your Parents being made members of the court: Father was made Master of Ships, which was a powerful political statement after Corlys requested a leave of absence for dealing with a personal matter. Mother was also the nurse to assist Aemma Arryn… but she was having a great many doubts.
 
@Fanhunter696 It's specificity with some overlap rather than just plain redundancy. I do see your point, but I think we're both trying to avoid being too broad with the skills so that they're acceptable to the QM. For example, Sailing and Navigation are explicitly shown to be two different skills in Lucien's character sheet. It would be cool if we could collapse certain skills into one, but better to have some overlapping skills than a skill being too broad imo (I'm sure Magoose will let us know if we're being too broad or specific either way tho).

Yeah, but it is the only two that I have grouped together because it kind of makes sense, I mean we also grup together Writing and Reading, and it was OK...

If @Magoose say that we cannot learn Sailing and navigation together, I will just erase the navigation portion and focus on sailing this turn.
