Here on Westeros Games we fully encourage custom characters in this 'Game of Thrones' AU game. There are different kinds of custom characters and some are treated a little differently then others, here's the breakdown!
Custom Great House Character: A player created character whom is a family member in a Great House. A Custom character might slide into a Great House and become an entirely new sibling (such as Torin Lannister!) or might replace an existing character (such as Kargan Greyjoy, replacing Balon).
If you wish to create a custom character for a Great House that already has characters in it, please contact the OOC Head to develop something appropriate.
Bannerman: Informally called a "bannerman" character this character none the less represents just that. A bannerman to a Great House. Bannermen characters are 'attached' to a Great House, that is they receive soldiers from the OOC head of the Great Family they are affiliated with. A bannerman may may be from a minor House created by the player or a custom character from a canon House.
It is worth taking into consideration while from an OOC stand-point (OOC House Heads should keep this in mind too!) the Great House gives their bannermen troops to lead, from an IC point most of a Great Houses army is soldiers put to the cause from their bannermen!
Minor House Lord: While each bannerman is a Minor House Lord IC, they use troops from the Great House army and do not receive income tax money every two weeks. The Minor House Lord however, while generally affiliated to a Great House, is much more fleshed out. A Minor House Lord creates their House and has their own standing army & their own income tax to purchase soldiers or assets such as a Castle or Stronghold.
Please see 'here' for further details on Custom House creation.
While not required, I would suggest people take a look 'here' as well. Might be worth considering when pondering a character concept.
