There's gotta be some Game of Thrones action going on, right? Stop hiding.

You haven't read the books? Shock! Awe! I may or may not have finished Game of Thrones last night and subsequently may or may not be a hundred pages into Clash right now. Tell no one.

Did I read it correctly that all the canons come from the same time as the first character that applied? So, if you were the first with Ned, the world of Westeros picked up from the point that his head and body become separate entities?

I'm trying!! I just hate reading Catelyn's parts lmao.

And, no that would be incorrect. The world through the door comes from one particular canon point (right at the end of the first season) but everyone comes from different points. Dany comes from the last book I think and Robb comes from after the red wedding, etc. I wasn't the first. We had a Tyrion first and then Jon and Ned so we just decided to have the world set from that canon point instead of something else. Plus, all the characters have to be at least 18, so for some of them, it's less of a jump to take them from further along in the series.

If that's not clear, I'm on my phone ATM so I can definitely clarify when I'm at my computer and not the grocery store XD

Some Ned you are, pbsh. Catelyn's chapters don't bug me, I think in part because of who she keeps company with. Rodrik Cassel is kind of a boss, and then she meets up with Petyr/Ned, Tyrion, and Robb's bannermen. That and I'm a sucker for wartime stuff, and she's with the northern army for a not-small portion of time.

No, no, I gotcha. When you're done buying Oreos and hot sauce and stuff, maybe you could explain what it's like to pick up a character that's already been played?

XD Part of it is because I've seen the show already and it followed the book (so far) very closely, near as I could tell. I love the show so much too XD

It really depends on who you pick up. Tyrion didn't do much and the characters he interacted with are all gone now. With Arya and Jon, their OCs are still in game (they're Vegas sides), so it could add an extra dimension on their parts since they remember having Arya and Jon respectively. I personally tend to approach it as "Hey, you're a new version, not the old version, but you're still my kid so I'm going to love you forever and ever anyway" and Ned will be able to explain how things work.

Also. I really wish I'd read that while I was still in the grocery store because I would've bought double stuffed oreos.

	You're also not limited to characters who are alive (obviously), but I mean like...if you wanted to pick up Brandon or Lyanna or any of those, that would be awesome too!! (Reply to this) (Parent)
