We will soon be taking applications and setting up Book Characters on Reflections of the Wheel. We'll be brainstorming the process with all the players, but I'll post a few initial thoughts here.
Players who already have a character of the same rank and "guild" of the book character will be given first choice and priority if multiple people apply for the role. For example, anyone playing a Warder will have first dibs on Coulin, Hammar, or Vitalien. Anyone playing an Aiel will be able to apply for Gaul, or Urien, or Sulin.
If someone plays a SPECIFIC role that is taken up by a book character - for example, Aralima, Queen of Andor, it is up to that individual player whether or not they want to change the RP of their character, and then play the book character (in this case, Morgase).
Several book characters will be created for immortal use, as well.
Book Characters will be in the NPC guild, which will give them the ability to teach any of their skills, and will probably make them "Nogain".
Additionally, there will be "generic" NPCs.
Any character from the books may be applied for, but soon I will have a list of very specific ones that I want to fill.
