IE saying you are from a great and noble house and fabulously wealthy while flying your punisher around and dying 100 times might not get the capsuleer reaction you are looking for RP wise. Maybe you are the first in the House to be a capsuleer, etc etc and work your way up from there.

Hense the prior statement - "minor noble holder with little influence" until the skills are high enough to justify gloating about high and mighty.
Starting a house when no one knows you in the RP community is the perfect opportunity for the house to gain its notoriety as a house name with less emphasis on the individual. Your actions, in the sense of nobility I would think, would have to reflect, to a large degree, the general attitude and policy of the house you're representing. I would also think it not be inconceivable that a commoner in Amarrian society managed to work his way up to the status of a holder thus having that character be the first to root himself into the noble line. That's the idea I'm going off of. I'll be doing some reading on Amarrian chronicles, attitudes and government policy to fabricate the House of Heidrich's attitude towards certain affairs.
The problem is that you have no power over the npcs in the game.
Claiming it at any point of your career will discredit all your work that you have put into this project.
Now that I am reading this I wonder if we ever had anything in PF about the succession rules for Holdership, like if it is obligatory primogeniture or not, like if it is cognatic or not, or like if it is just by the decision of the Holder himself/herself. And if that varies or not depending on the various places around the Empire.

First thing first - Samira, thank you for all of that wonderful information on the finer points of Holdership. That'll help me a great deal in the development of the house.
Secondly, I retracted the original plan to turn the house into a house of minor nobility and decided to make it a "common" house with no real influence of any sort until later on. But that was probably confused with the statement I made in the description pointing to the implication of having made the decision not to own land which, by definition from Samira's information, wasn't even possible to begin with unless you were a titled noble house. I'll be fixing that in the actual in-game corp description next time I log in. At some point in time, though, it is my intention to earn the house the ability to be considered some type of a Holder house. Under what circumstances that'll end up being I haven't decided yet. But I hope my interaction with the role playing community will help to shape that.
