Hey everyone, so I wanted your opinion. I see many people either downcast about the system itself or the fact he can summon. That he's not strong enough or that it's too easy for him. I see many of these comments as I read every comment that comes up. After reading a few other fan fictions, I see that it might be the case. So, I ask you all, my readers, would you rather have this story completed in the same fashion it has been going down, with a multitude of plot holes and unexplained events with the fast pace it has been following or would you rather me start a new fanfiction. One of which without a system, one that I detail more on even the smaller events with more attention dealt towards multiple lords instead of just what I think is relevant towards you to understand. I could go with many choices on houses as I love a few houses and am intrigued by many more. While I can say I'm biased towards the North just because most of my favorite characters came from there, I could also go with houses like Tyrell, Hightower, Martell, Lannister, Baratheon, Valaryon, Blackfyre (of the mind that it was stated specifically that the male line of Blackfyre were extinct and thus can be presumed a possible chance that it could have female Blackfyre around), and a few others.
Tyrell- A huge prosperous domain that could help the MC in his ambitions or just securing the safety of his house. Could start anywhere between 230 AC to 280 AC. Possible bloodline of Garth Greenhand and all the advantages that bring in possible abilities or advantages.
Hightower-One of if not the oldest official house in not only the Reach but also in Westeros. Huge base of knowledge dating from the beginning of it all from possibly not only Westeros but also Pentos and might even have knowledge even of further areas. Possible Magical tomes and all the fun business that it has. Close ties with the Citadel and the faith of the seven. By far one of the richest and strongest houses in terms of stability and even militarily compared to single houses being able to field around 6000 to 20000 troops at a time by the time of the five kings(had to search that one up and compare notes between different sources, honestly wow on just how strong that house is and kind of scary since I had no idea all the conspiracies and everything else involved.)
Martell- Everyone respects the Martell's for the simple fact that they were probably the only house to win militarily against the Targaryen's. Key word militarily since a few houses won in different ways with a lot less bloodshed. Very defensible positioning and honestly who doesn't think it'd be cool to try your hand at being in Dorne with so many beautiful people who just so happen to also be one of the richest in Westeros. Honestly, it would be challenging considering House Lannister and House Reach don't exactly have favorable relations with them.
Lannister-Tough, that's what I can say since the mines are drying up and not many people like the Lannister's. Not to mention how they're surrounded by enemies all around. But hey, a couple of good people in the right places could provide great bonuses to their trade and bring the diminishing coffers over the later years to overflowing, keeping them from losing the title of richest house.
Baratheon- Honestly don't know much about this house other than how it started and how they could possibly have two of the strongest bloodlines but so do a few options as well without having to face storms all the time. Great naval ideas could make them rise to the top having a great defensible location and being smart about it but you do have to watch out for the vipers.
Valaryon- Honestly a great house who hasn't gotten a lot of spotlight. Has Targaryen blood, great seafaring abilities and is very humble considering their bloodline could put them in contest for the throne. A smaller house compared to the others but still available.
Blackfyre, Definitely Original content with a lot of the shenanigans that would have to be done since most of it couldn't be confirmed and just speculated on loyal fans with this topic. Female Blackfyre survived the nine penny kings and her descendant lives on whether with another house through the years with possibly their bloodline as well. Possibly the strongest pairing in terms of potential personal strength but would have to have a good backstory on how it happened and which house would take them in. Possibly one from the Reach or Dorne since the rest of Westeros just makes me think it wouldn't happen. Physical features could carry over from the silver to light blond hair and purple or red eyes to a mixture of that to the house that took them in.
All these ideas stem from possible ideas I have found, thought about or even questioned myself about after listening or reading others' opinions. I'm thinking of a story taking place a few years before Robert's rebellion giving the MC a chance to gain merit or demerit depending on his side. Later on possibly serving a house or great house or maybe the heir or bastard of one. Magic would probably only happen if the starting point was with a bloodline from Targaryen, the reach, the north, or even the Stormlands unless you guys wanted someone from Pentos or even further which would be a lot harder.
As for weapons of choice I guess it would really depend how they were raised and their stature. I personally love the spear, great axe and greatsword, even a glaive fits my style. Though I could make a sword and shield focused or even a dagger user. I would make a dual sword style since it just conflicts with my own style too much unless it was smaller blades like daggers, maybe and just maybe short swords. But long swords as dual wielding just makes me cringe.
As for his looks, well I'll let you decide what you'd like and customize your ideas.
Short-5'0 to 5'5
Average-5'6 to 5'10
Tall-5'11 to 6'6
Goliath-6'7 to 7'2
Weight will vary depending on the height like a muscular man at 5'6 might be 150 to 180 but he'd just be super skinny at 6'6.

Armor ideas for when they are grown and young separately as he will have to grow like any person-
Just put pictures attached to this comment and say if it's when he's young or grown up(16 or older).
Casual clothing is the same deal(like what he will wear in court or on his travels-
Anything I missed you can comment on here.
I could also do a crossover involving skyrim elements or something similar.
