Game of Thrones AU GM // Targaryens won the Rebellion, Rhaegar is the new king // Open scenario and proxy allowed

~*~

As the player, you have the choice to create your own character and shape the world around you, or witness the changes and react to the events unfolding. You can be a noble, commoner, or anyone in between, with your actions and decisions influencing the story.

The reign of King Rhaegar is still young and the scars of the rebellion are fresh. The future of Westeros hangs in a delicate balance. What role will you play in the game of thrones? How will you navigate this new world?

In this alternate universe, Rhaegar Targaryen emerged victorious from Robert's Rebellion and became king. This outcome significantly altered the lives and personalities of several key characters:

1. Rhaegar Targaryen: As king, Rhaegar is focused on healing the wounds of the rebellion, preparing for the prophesied return of the Others, and ensuring a stable succession. He's haunted by the loss of Lyanna Stark and the choices that led to the war. Rhaegar is a melancholic and introspective ruler, trying to balance his mystical inclinations with the pragmatic needs of the realm.

2. Jaime Lannister: Jaime killed Aerys II to save King's Landing, but Rhaegar kept this a secret. Free from Cersei's influence and serving under a king who understands his sacrifice, Jaime has the chance to become a true knight and find redemption. However, he struggles with the weight of his actions and the complex dynamic with Rhaegar.

3. Cersei Lannister: With her father exiled and her marriage to a loyal Targaryen bannerman, Cersei is effectively a political hostage. She resents her loss of status and separation from Jaime. Cersei could either adapt and scheme her way into power in her new position, or become increasingly bitter and resentful, turning to self-destructive behaviors.

4. Tywin Lannister: Stripped of his titles and exiled to Essos for his role in the Sack of King's Landing, Tywin is consumed by a desire for revenge against those he believes wronged him. He could use his wealth and cunning to build alliances and undermine Rhaegar's rule from afar, or he could turn his exile into an opportunity for reflection and personal growth.

5. Oberyn Martell: Oberyn is deeply affected by the murder of his sister Elia and her children. Executing Gregor Clegane provides some catharsis but also takes a toll on his psyche. He becomes even more reckless and emotionally volatile, turning to hedonism and potentially substance abuse to cope with his pain.

6. Doran Martell: Doran is focused on securing justice for Elia and navigating the delicate political situation with the Iron Throne. He's cautious and calculating, working to extract concessions from Rhaegar while secretly plotting to build Dorne's strength and influence.

7. The Starks: With Ned Stark likely dead and the Stark family greatly diminished or scattered, any surviving members (like Catelyn Tully/Stark or the young children) would be facing an uncertain future. They could be hostages, exiles, or struggling to rebuild in a hostile North.

8. The Baratheons and Arryns: These rebel houses would have been largely wiped out, with survivors like young Renly Baratheon and Robert Arryn facing disinheritance and uncertain fates.

9. Ser Arthur Dayne: After failing to protect Lyanna at the Tower of Joy, Arthur is haunted by guilt and a sense of failure. He remains loyal to Rhaegar but struggles to find his place and purpose.

These character changes and dynamics provide rich fodder for storytelling in this alternate universe, with each character grappling with the consequences of Rhaegar's victory and their own choices in a reshaped Westeros.
