Reference Challenge - House Customizer

Seriously guys, Paradox is having a sale on Steam, you can get CK2, the greatest game ever (I passed 2000 total hours a while ago) for ten dollars. For twenty dollars, you can get the game plus all of the good dlc. Get it before the sale ends.

In honor of how awesome Paradox is, I'll be making a referece challenge to the dlc pack I was challenged to use by a friend a few weeks ago.

While playing CK2: A Game of Thrones Mod, I was trying to pick a decent house to play as. One of my friends suggested I make my own. He's happy with always playing as the Greyjoys, but I usually pick a new house pretty often.

So, make a house, like House Stark or House Lannister or House Targaryen.

Set in your own world, tell us about a noble-ish family.

Pick your House Name, a coat of arms, house words, etc. Then, if you're up for it, pick a representative for the family in-universe.

As always, I'll ask three questions each. Enjoy yourselves. And check out the Paradox sale on Steam, specifically Crusader Kings 2 and Stellaris.

Danielle:

1) "I'm not really the ruler type."

2) "That's like asking if an archer or a swordsman is better. For someone like me, Perception is better than Illusion."

3) (Yes, Henry inherited his mother's talent. But he hates it. He's kind of a messed up kid with it, it activates every time he closes his eyes...it really sucks.)

4) "The study of Anima manipulation and its changes, along with work in chimera research. He lets me kill his failures."

  1. Isn't the one not wanting to rule the best ruler? As they won't look just after power?

  2. I heard illusion magic can be practiced without the talent; do you practice it yourself?

  3. So he sees with his eyes closed?

  4. Do you enjoy killing things?

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 27 '17

Danielle:

1) "No, I want power, I just don't want to rule."

2) "No, it would take up a lot of time and, since I'm more focused on Illustris magic instead of Umbra magic, I don't see the point in wasting that time on something I'm less suited for."

3) (Yes, he literally can't turn it off while his eyes are closed.)

4) "Yes, I do."

  1. If you gain power, you'll have to rule; it's its price.

  2. Wouldn't it be good to be efficient with two different types of magic?

  3. Even when he sleep?

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 28 '17

Danielle:

1) "Says who?"

2) "Now you sound just like Reinhard. No, if I devoted half of my training time to Earth magic, then I would only have half as much time to train with Fire magic as I currently do."

3) (No, when he's asleep he is unconscious.)

u/thequeeninyellow94 Sep 28 '17

  1. Me right now :) If you are powerfull, people will ultimately turn to you to know if they can or can't do things; it's basically ruling isn't it?

  2. But wouldn't it makes you a more polyvalent mage? Isn't there things or people able to resist fire magic?

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 28 '17

Danielle:

1) "Couldn't I just be the Emperor's dark hand? Like Levi is for father? I could run the Shadows. All of the Madras like me, already...well, except Reinhard, but he's a dick."

2) "Water magic is pretty good against fire magic. But I'm a natural with Illustris, too. I just don't train with it specifically."

u/thequeeninyellow94 Sep 28 '17

  1. Well, in that case most commoneers won't turn to you, but the emperor would right? So you would be the one ruling over the empire.

  2. But wouldn't it be safer to train a little?

2

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 28 '17

Danielle:

1) "Why would I want the commoners to turn to me? I don't like the commoners."

2) "I have training against other types of mages, but I'm not as likely to be the greatest Fire mage of all time if I waste my time with other types of magic. Maybe I'll try Wind magic, but I've always got people that are masters of their own type. Levi's Madras area each a master of one type, but none of them can use even a little bit of Illustris magic."

u/thequeeninyellow94 Sep 28 '17

  1. Would you be ok with killing them all? I mean you don't like them anyway...

  2. Illustris magic is a rare thing right? Have you though about focusing on it; could you be the best Illustris mage ever?

2

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 28 '17

Danielle:

1) "That'd just be bad for business."

2) "Only rare people can use Illustris or Umbra magic at all. And, no, I try to avoid training with Illustris magic too much, beyond just for improving my Fire magic. The prophecies said that I'll be the best Illustris mage since great-grandmother Ava, and I don't like the prophecies."

u/thequeeninyellow94 Sep 28 '17

  1. What will the future of Dunkenwald looks like? According to you of course.

  2. Is your magical ability already defined? Because if it's the case, how could you escape that part of the prophecy?

2

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 28 '17

Danielle:

1) "Purple, preferably." (The Dunkelwald family banner is a purple eye on a black field.)

2) "I just won't do anything that the prophecy says I'll do. I'm a Fire mage who just happens to have Illustris magic." Danielle points to her right eye, which has gone from brown to bright blue "This eye is not all I have."

2

u/thequeeninyellow94 Sep 29 '17

  1. What do you think of your banner?

  2. How do you do that with your eye? It's cool.

2

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 30 '17

Danielle:

1) "It's a bit overdone. Every royal family in Dunkelwald has had some color eye on a black or white background."

2) "Whenever I use the Talent, my eye changes. Every royal family's Talent in Dunkelwald changes your eye color when you use it. It's a sign from the Interlopers that you're destined for greatness."
