This post is looking for a GM. Real life gender isn't relevant to this. If anybody is looking for a GM for a KOTOR 2 retelling, feel free to reach out and request my prompt for it.

I've been especially eager as of late to participate in a RP that explores the opposite side of an already almost completely unexplored time period of Planetos -- the Long Night, and, instead of seeing it through the eyes of the Andals in Westeros, witnessing it through the eyes of the residents of Yi Ti and eastern Essos at large.

Given how comparatively little information we're provided on this region, much less two thousand to eight thousand years ago, I'd welcome a GM enthusiastic about an especially massive amount of headcanon. The way I'm currently imagining it the RP would explore the contours of what is essentially the Spring & Autumn Period, the Bronze Age collapse, and Dawn of the Dead all rolled into one. Yi Ti, the developed place it is compared to the rest of the world, is a hotspot of conflict between migratory movements, local warlords and imperial officials, malnourished and scared peasants, and, eventually, zombies.

As for the actual plot itself, like the rest of this prompt I'm open to suggestions and complete redrafts, but, as it stands right now the running idea I have is that our player / main character is the fabled but extraordinarily mistranslated Azor Ahai. A woman of low birth; a merchant, most likely, who finds herself in a position to climb the social ladder during our version of the Spring & Autumn period and eventually, through sheer accident, stumble into prophecy and enter the history books of defeating the Others and saving the world.

Again, not intentionally. The character I'm working with here is a fairly evil and cruel person with a malignance and ambition tied with Qin Shi Huang; a legalist autocrat. But, again, I'm entirely open to ideas and counter-suggestions. Don't take a great deal of this prompt as something I'm married to, since I swing between ideas all the time.

Unless my partners want to go some Jade Empire RPG route instead, this RP would naturally be a very politically charged story involving commerce, warfare, statecraft, and a generally gloomy and unpleasant atmosphere. Per my usual rules, I welcome my character being maimed, killed, plagued, and generally fail at things they attempt so long as they aren't sexually assaulted. This RP was loosely inspired by my other prompt, the Heart of Darkness, and will share vibes with it.



Thanks.
