[TheFool]

Spoiler: JOCELYN BARATHEON

Full Name :
Jocelyn Baratheon

Titles :
Queen Dowager

Age :
Born in 250AC / 49 years of age

Family :

Personality :
Proud and prim. Jocelyn Baratheon knew from a young age that she was to be the fairest lady in all of Westeros. Wife of a future King. Her father and mother prepared her from the moment she could walk. “You are a lady”. Now, as she approaches her golden years- Jocelyn is still as elegant as ever. Though said elegance has been poisoned by bitterness over the years. She may seem like she is the perfect woman, but people whisper that it is all a facade. That underneath it all, she has a black heart, hidden by piety and poise.

Biography :
Born during a late summer’s storm, Jocelyn was the first child of Jon Baratheon and his simple wife- Alynne Swann. At a young age, she was told that she would be Queen some day. She was betrothed to Aegon Targaryen after his first wife died in childbirth. At 15, they were wed. At 16, she was with child. She, at first, didn’t take to being Queen. She thought she wasn’t “good enough” for her husband. However, she soon grew into her position.

Jocelyn garnered a reputation as a Queen of the people. She was lovely and ladylike, and had a strong relationship with The Seven. She gave to the poor, and was at her husband’s side with every step he took. She took pride in herself. She took pride in her Aegon. And she took pride in her son, Prince Jaehaerys.

For almost a decade- life was well.

Things took a turn for the worst when Jaehaerys became rapidly ill and died. The Red Keep wasn’t the same without his charming presence. After their son’s death, Aegon soon grew depressed. Depression turned to sickness, and he too passed. Leaving Westeros in turmoil. No heir was apparent. Jocelyn instantly sided with her granddaughter, Elaena, and backed her as the next ruler to sit upon The Iron Throne.

Now, an exalted council has been called and The Seven Kingdoms stand on the brink of a war like no other. Jocelyn intends to stand by her family, and continue to keep a hold of her powerful position in the realm.

Other :
Jocelyn is very devout. She is a strong follower of The Mother, in particular.

She is an artist, and is known to paint when stressed.

She loves her family, and will do anything and everything to further their position in Westeros.

Spoiler: ELAENA TARGARYEN

Full Name :
Elaena Targaryen

Titles :
Princess Of Dragonstone
Queen ( TO SOME )

Age :
Born in 283AC / 16 years of age

Family :

Personality :
Adventurous and naive are two words that describe Elaena well. She is a ‘lady’, yes. Who wears lavish gowns and partakes in tea parties with her grandmother- but she lusts after adventure. She wants to learn how to swing a sword. She wants to travel The Seven Kingdoms by herself. But instead she is confined to her credulous life as a Princess. And despite being a Princess, born and raised in the nest of snakes that is King’s Landing- Elaena believes everyone and everything. No one would tell her a lie, right? Especially not her Grandmother.

Biography :
Born on Dragonstone, and raised in King’s Landing. Elaena was brought up as THE Princess of The Seven Kingdoms. She was House Targaryen’s prized possession. The granddaughter of a great King, and the daughter of a soon-to-be even greater King. She was very close to her mother, Jynessa, but she died when Elaena was 10.

At the age of 15, her father remarried. Melessa Tyrell wasn’t much older than Elaena, which made her uncomfortable. The two rarely spoke out of sheer awkwardness. Elaena was close with Melessa’s brother, so she saw Melessa as a kind of sister but without the sisterly bond.

Shortly after marrying Melessa, Elaena’s father died. The whole of Westeros mourned for their fallen Prince. Weeks after Jaehaerys’ passing, his own father followed. The Red Keep was… quieter. Elaena was quieter too. Two of her biggest role models had left her. Now, all she really had was her grandmother.

However, her grandmother told Elaena that she would have to assume the title of protector of The Seven Kingdoms. And now a grand council is in session at Harrenhal. Elaena doesn’t want to rule, but she is mostly numb to the situation as a whole.

Other :
Elaena suffers from night terrors. And, she is prone to sleepwalk- when said terrors occur.

Her needlework is exceptional.

Elaena’s father used to tutor her in swordplay when she was a ‘wee girl. However, he stopped the lessons when he remarried.

She is the proud owner of a cat called Valyria.

Spoiler: TYLAND LANNISTER

Tyland Lannister

Titles :
(NONE)

Age :
Born in 275AC / 24 years of age

Personality :
Tyland is bold and tactful. Charismatic and charming. Compassionate, but he hides it well. When Tyland walks into a room, said room is commanded by his presence. He wants to play in the game of thrones, but even though he is diplomatically savvy- he is often dubious in his decision making. Physically, he isn’t at his best. He was athletic in his youth, but has since become weaker as years have passed. Even though he is a man that exudes confidence- he sometimes has severe anxiety, and is known to be a worrywort.

Biography :
Born to Tywald Lannister and his second wife, Raya Payne. Tyland Lannister was a privileged child. He was always the center of attention. The golden child. Everyone gravitated towards him. Except for his family. Tyland was never close with them, especially his eldest brother- Loren. They fought all the time.

When he was on the verge of adulthood- he went to Highgarden and stayed with The Tyrells for a time. This was because he was set to be betrothed to the young Melessa Tyrell. He and her bonded quite a bit. He saw her as a sweet girl that he could count on as a true friend. He didn’t want to marry her at first, but he later did not mind. However, the betrothal was broken when Melessa’s father arranged for her to wed Prince Jaehaerys.

Tyland, in a state of slight disappointment, returned to The Westerlands. His father had passed and his brother now ruled the rock. Tyland tried his best to be an obedient young brother- but he knew that he and Loren would eventually clash.

Presently, he is on the way to Harrenhal with his brother and his brother’s host. An exalted council has been called. Tensions are high between the brothers and Tyland hopes he can sooth it. But a part of him highly doubts he can.

Other :
Tyland was a good swordsman as a child, however he hasn’t picked up a blade in quite some time.

He much prefers to use the bow, since he is a fan of hunting.

Tyland’s social circle is quite renown. He has many a friend dotted around The Westerlands. He is also known to hold banquets and hunting parties with said social circle.

He is one of Westeros’ most eligible bachelors and the fact that he hasn’t married yet has caused some controversy.

Because his father knew he wouldn’t have all the time with his son they started very early. Torman grew up without having the time to play in the garden or chase after the little girls in the
castle. It did help him eventually, because he turned out to be an excellent swordfighter and tactician. When he turned fifteen his father became sick and died soon thereafter.

At the age of sixteen, her father sent her to the Martells with the idea that she would serve as a handmaiden and potentially marry into the Martell family.

[ailurophile]

name visenya waters.
title none officially, although calling her 'princess' is not unheard of.
age 18.
family her parents were the king, aegon targaryen, and his mistress shiera arryn. she is their second child, being daeron waters' younger sister. visenya loved her father deeply and cares about her brother more than anyone else in the world now, though doesn't care much for her father's other children, or his actual wife.
personality her father's affection made visenya decide from an early age that she should be just as valid as his legitimate children. because of this, she can seem proud, becoming irritated fairly quickly if the issue of her legitimacy is mentioned. although her feelings towards others tend to be fairly intense (disliking someone means she hates them with a passion, liking them means she adores them) she is able to hide how she feels and will act as cordially as is expected of her towards those she interacts with. she has grown into a fairly cunning and intelligent young woman, quick thinking and quick witted. on the surface she is charming, witty, and clever. visenya takes loyalty very seriously, and despite her manipulative tendencies can be trusted if you have a solid arrangement with her. over recent years she has become rather flirtatious. despite her intelligence, visenya could easily be manipulated because of her pride and need for validation-- treat her with the respect she craves, pay her some attention, and she'll bend to your will without even realising it.

name lilith baratheon (née connington).
title lady.
age 34.
family she is married to alexander baratheon, and has two children, eleanor and ethan.
personality first and foremost, lilith is a mother; to her that is her defining trait, and everything else is an afterthought. her children are what matter most to her. lilith has always been somewhat quiet, she's been described as shy, and she tends to be nervous when meeting new people. this improves when she is accompanied by her family. although she isn't totally serious, lilith often takes a backseat and would rather listen than take an active part in a conversation. she's sensible and elegant, and is basically everything one would expect of a lady. with her husband and those she is closest to, her sense of humour shines through.

name alysanne lannister (née swyft).
title lady.
age 35
family she is married to loren lannister, and they have three children: willam, gareth, and jeyne.
personality in her younger years, there was a fire in alysanne that it seemed wouldn't die down. she was always headstrong and opinionated, a bright little thing who never wanted to keep still or be tied down. some of that passion seemed to escape her when she had her first child, but it's still there beneath the surface. alysanne is a loving mother to her children and a loyal wife to her husband. she is not a stupid woman by far, although sometimes finds it easier to slip into the background and allow herself to come across as a calm, docile little lamb of a woman. her main interest is protecting her children, and maintaining her close bond with her husband. alysanne is fairly relaxed and friendly.
bio wip.
other although her children are no longer very young, alysanne still treats them as if they are, which might be a little embarrassing for them.

name lyanna stark.
age 17.
title lady.
family her parents are amelia and bryce stark. lyanna is one of four children, having two sisters (willow and lara), and one brother, theon.
personality curious by nature, lyanna finds almost everything fascinating. she has a thirst for knowledge and likes nothing more than hearing tales of great battles and warriors, and hates the idea of being kept in the dark about things. she tends to be fairly coquettish, possibly just because she has a desire to appear more mature than she is. although she'd like to think she's intelligent, lyanna is actually a fairly silly young girl, hiding gaps in her knowledge with the longest words she can think of, and her naivety is particularly dangerous to her because she chooses not to acknowledge it. she enjoys a joke, and shares many inside jokes with her sisters, and has a playful nature. when she's afraid, she uses sarcasm to mask her fear, and her remarks tend to be pretty cutting.
bio wip.

WE GUARD THE WAY

Emrys Yronwood​

Full Name :
Emrys Yronwood

Titles :

- Lord of Yronwood​

- The Bloodroyal​

- Warden of the Stone Way​

Age : 29 (270 AC)

Family :
TREE

Personality : Outwardly, Emrys Yronwood has all the makings of yet another insufferable sycophant of the court. He is charismatic yet soft-spoken, and would have you believe he's a harmless, affable man eager to please. That is the side most people see. A dim-witted, yet overall pleasant man who seems as though he wishes to achieve his goals by being well-liked. But it's a persona Emrys has honed and refined over the years. It is all that most will ever see.

Underneath the brown-nosing and the foppishness, Emrys is a calculating man, and rarely acts without weighing the potential benefits and drawbacks. His only true allegiance is to himself, and he is unafraid to employ deceit and treachery to serve his interests. He assumes that most around him think in the same manner he does, and so does not extend his trust easily. But above all else, he is ambitious. Emrys believes he's long since outgrown his humble holdings at Yronwood. The blood of the Dornish High Kings courses in his veins, and while he curries favor with the Martells today, he believes he is fully capable of securing everything his ancestors lost.


Biography : Emrys was never supposed to exist.

Born to a supposedly barren paramour and a lordling who did not care for caring for a bastard, it was clear from the start that something was amiss. It was only after the suspicious death of Emrys's father for his mother to reveal her child to her erstwhile lover, the Lord of Yronwood's younger brother, Owain. She revealed that Emrys was Yronwood by blood, and the man saw in the child a tool he could use to further his own ambitions. He brought Emrys into his household, away from the common rabble that called Yronwood home.

Growing up, Emrys Sand was taught that threats were constant, whether from the smallfolk on the street or the inner squabbles of the elite. He was a quiet boy who understood the value of being out of sight and out of mind. He also learned that his Uncle Owain did not love his brother, and by association his nephew, the rightful heir to the castle. Sometimes, however, his uncle would tell him of his true father, Lord Elwyn Yronwood of the Stone Way. Feeling out of place and dreadfully lonely, he fantasized that his father would return to Yronwood to collect him one day, a hope Owain exploited to the fullest. He entertained the boy with the promise that he would one day be legitimized, if only he could prove himself worthy of his name.

It was not until his late teens that Emrys became an instrument in Owain's plots. Owain's son and heir to the castle had come to be engaged to Elessa Drinkwater, a girl with whom Emrys was infatuated. She was beautiful, self-assured, and far out of his league, but that did not stop his hopes. One night while enjoying a feast, he drank too much and professed his affection, only to be met with raucous laughter and the assurance that Elessa did not and would never feel the same way.

So he did what any broken-hearted boy would do. He took his uncle's lessons and manipulated his cousin into bedding a young, married lady. Emrys ensured the scandal would be made public, and and his cousin was shamed. When Emrys informed his uncle of his part in the scandal, he expected to be afforded the right to court Elessa, but not only did she want nothing to do with him, Owain agreed she would make an appropriate bride after all, and took her as his wife.

Over the next decade, Emrys continued to serve his uncle. He kept his mouth shut and gave Owain precisely what he wanted, making contacts far and wide, until he was finally ready to make his move. Two years ago, Lord Owain was sent on a diplomatic errand to the island of Tarth. Their ship disappeared a month later somewhere in the Sea of Dorne, with nothing but shambles to be found on the shore and no sign of the Lord or his family. Emrys was soon named Lord of Yronwood, and secured proof of his legitimacy to adopt the Yronwood name once he was sure there was no one left in his family who could contest him.

Being a Lord has afforded Emrys with luxuries that he hadn't had before, and he has amassed a fair amount of wealth through Yronwood's flourishing economy, enough to secure contacts and resources that have proven valuable over the past year. Though he is still unfamiliar outside of Dorne, Emrys aims to make an impression at the Council in Harrenhal. Only time will tell if his machinations will bear fruit, or if his ambition will ultimately lead to his downfall.

[Braddington]

Daeron Targaryen (Waters)

Titles :
King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the realm
(Claimant), Prince of Summerhall and Ser

Age :
23, Born in 276 AC

Sexuality : Gay

Marital Status : Single


Family :





Personality :
Daeron is both fun loving and awkward with a heavy mixture of both, get him drunk enough and he will be the life and soul of a gathering but when sober (almost all the time) he has few things to say and can often trip on his own words. Still he is not overly serious unless the situation calls for it and the Council certainly qualifies for it, but he knows a humourless visage could turn away the more...absent minded Lords of the realm. In private he is the calm and brooding type often playing games with his Falcon, Artys, or studying times past pushing out the world around him. This has led to a somewhat distant mind that often wanders to other places and things he could be doing and this has translated to his family, whilst close to his sister he always felt out of place amongst Targaryens even with his adoration of his older brother. With the calling of the Grand Council he has been pushed into claiming the crown but there is nothing he would rather do more than leaving and spending his days at the Eyrie.

Biography : ​

Daeron Waters was born to Lady Shaera Arryn and King Aegon the Sixth of his name in the city of Kings Landing in 276 AC. His mother was the acknowledged and well known mistress of King Aegon and openly paraded in court as so, even though the Kings wife was furious at the birth the King himself was overjoyed and had the news spread through the Kingdoms with the Sept bells ringing all night. He was treated as the Kings legitimate son in all but name and many think Aegon simply didn’t realise he had to legitimise him and had simply forgotten, so well was he treated by the King. From his birth however the wife of the King, Jocelyn Baratheon despised the fact the King had not only had this son but had acknowledged him as such leading to a hatred of the babe. Still his early life was that of a Prince, he was taught by the same men who had taught his older brother Prince Jaehaerys and he wore the same clothes embroidered with rubies that even some Lords could only dream of affording. His mother, however, had all but forgotten him at birth, she was in it for the power not the offspring.

He often alternated between the Eyrie and Kings Landing is his early years and his first night at the Eyrie was when his dreams began, every day since he dreams of himself soaring the skies over the world seeing all from above like a falcon. His sister was born, his full sister just after his 5th name day. At first he did not know how to react, the concept of a full sister was beyond him but he took a liking to this new person almost immediately with a connection he had only ever felt for his brother. Just after his 7th name day a daughter was born to Jaehaerys and he found himself fascinated that all Targaryens had distinctive silver hair whilst he had bucked this trend and he began to investigate why this was so, his love of books began here and one too many nights the Grand Maester would awaken to find Daeron hovering over one of his books asleep whilst a candle still burnt beside him.

As the years progressed a new Master-At-Arns arrived in the capital, Lord Stark. In an effort to get Daeron ingrained with the major houses he had to squire for Lord Stark, whilst of course not a knight the Starks could teach Daeron more than just the scripture the Seven espoused. This experience gave him a sense of honour even if it did embed his brooding and reclusive nature, eventually however he was handed over to Lord Commander Royce of the Kingsguard, a man he saw as a figure of history in the making. During this time he became a competent swords man, whilst no master he could hold his own against any average knight and if needed could use all his willpower to best stronger opposition, all the while he dreamed of the mountains. On his 16th name day he was finally knighted in a grand ceremony in front of many Lords of the realm by the Lord Commander and was granted all the permissions of a man by his father, he immediately left for the Vale where he spent 6 months in somber isolation at the Eyrie. One day whilst hanging off a balcony looking down on the Vale below a falcon came and sat next to him, he gave it some of the food he was eating and felt an almost psychic connection with the bird who started following him wherever he went, eventually it became his accepted pet and he named the bird Artys after the Falcon Knight. During this time the King also allowed him to pick a personal banner, he chose the 3 headed dragon of House Targaryen emblazoned with Arryn blue, surrounded by white with a blue ring around it to honour both of his houses.

The day Jaehaerys died was when his isolated and quiet life came to end, the Arryns immediatly pushed for him to be legitimized and be appointed heir to the throne much to his own protests whilst the King lumbered with heartbreak at the death of his beloved son, it all came to a head with Aegons death not a few months later. Now the Grand Council has been called and much to his own disapproval he is one of the three main claimants in a land on the brink of civil war....

Other :
He is a competent swordsman with an intelligent but kind mind. He has a pet Falcon named Artys.​

Qoren, the lord of Dorne, has come to be identified by his title as much as anything else. He's been the lord of Dorne for over 20 years and his method of rule is well known. He is a man who is known to be cold, never becoming hostile but his razored eyes and sharp gaze is well known. He is a man who deliberates his actions carefully but moves decisively, and entirely free of emotion, and some of his foes would say honor or even basic morals in addition to that. He has made hard decisions for the good of not only his house but dorne as a whole but sometimes sacrificing the few for the many and while he is respected he is not well loved by many. But never the less none will deny the skill he's run the country and helped the land prosper in a way many would have struggled to without the steps he took. Yet some who have known him for years know he was not always like this, but any other sign of that person he used to be has disappeared under the sharp gaze of the Lord Paramount he had become. And with storms on the horizon, he would lead dorne though this crisis, no matter the cost.


Biography :
When he was young prince Qoren was a fairly carefree man, he was not blind to his responsibilities as heir but more then willing to skip out on some of them for enjoying the beautiful if harsh land he was born in. He did well in his studies in both swordplay and politics when he decided to try, but his attention was often times elsewhere and he did not progress like he could have. The boy he had been had changed however when his mother died because of a minor dispute between to desert villages over a well. She had gone to meditate and it turned violent, killing her accidentally in the process. He and his father had a conservation following the funeral only the two of them know of and since then he tackled his studies with steely-eyed determination and the friendly boy with an easy smile were gone and he began morphing into the lord he would eventually become.

Yet his will has never wavered since then in his will to see Dorne strong, and he never will again.


Other :
While a capable fighter in his own right he is no master, preferring to blend a few styles of combat together and recruit many talented masters of such arts to educate his children and his servents. He himself is more of a tactician and politician, focusing on the bigger picture and leaving the thrill of the fight for others to experience.

Due to his expansion of both Dornish industry, trade, and even factor of the military at the expense of mostly his own houses personal wealth over the last 20 years many have suspected what exactly what required the extensive use of personal funds when he could have drawn on other vassal houses to lessen the burden but other than to avoid conflict no much reason is known about his great investments or to their scale.

Family Echo - Free Online Family Tree Maker


Personality :
Prideful, anyone could easily tell that this prince of Dorne had enough pride to be called arrogance. Unlike this father and sister, he never saw any of the responsibility that came with being a member of a great house. He was the third son and got to enjoy all the advantages that entailed with very little of the responsibility. Since he was young he always had an affinity and interest with a sword, an interest his father was willing to indulge. At first, the trainers in dorne suited him but he always wanted to know more so his father obliged. This became a trend as he always wanted more. More money, more woman, more trainers, more battles, more fights. He was Greedy and in many cases Arrogant yet his skill was not something to look down upon. Despite his more negative qualities, he is well loved by his family and in return, he loves them though he rarely shows displays of affection. He would fight and die for dorne and he loves the land he grew up in and the people who lived there. And over time his father noticed he had a trait that made people want to follow him, for every person he offended with his pride when it came to being a leader he seemed to have a talent for inspiring those around him to fight with him, no matter the odds. Loved or hated this prince of dorne is surely gonna be remembered.

Biography :
Born as the third son of house Martell even at a young age Ryden understood the position afforded to him. He understood why his father's servants called him lord in the hallways and bowed to him, he understood why the guards, despite being much stronger and older then him as a child listened to his orders, and he understood why other great lords, leaders of thousands of men themselves, always acted friendly with him. These facts lead to a sense of pride for what he was and a developing sense of arrogance. He was better than others, wasn't how other people treated him proved he was different then the rabble? He went around like this much of his childhood, being a terror for the servants of the Sandship as he climbed high walls, went anywhere he pleased without guards, and said anything he liked, often offending others. It changed somewhat however when his father, tired of complaints and soothing wounded egos placed a sword in his son's hand, hoping to channel his energy into something fruitful. From a very young age, Ryden Martell seemed to have an affinity for the sword. He trained near endlessly without any encouragement, for he enjoyed the challenge of the contests his father and trainers would put him through and even would add more challenges of his own devices to further test himself. As he grew big enough to fight evenly with other far more senior fighters he would begin challenging them, uncaring if he lost, only wanting to see more of what they had to offer. His father had hired other trainers to increase the dynamics of his army and he took advantage of that. He would train with barvosi swordsmen, knights of the seven kingdoms, grizzled mercenaries of essos, and would even have his father buy a single unsullied to train him in the spear and shield combat that they were known for. In addition, when his son jumped into a group drill he learned that his son seemed to have an affinity for command as well. His skill and radiant confidence seemed to inspire people he leads to greater heights and many of his rougher edges smoothed out some with people who fought with him in combat and his trainers had helped mellow him out slightly from when he was a child as well. Since then his father has been working on honing his son's talents and now the time may have come to put them to test on something more than bandits. Will his training be enough to save him? Only time will tell but if there's gonna be a war, this prince would make a name for himself.

Other :
While preferring sword and shield combat in single duels he has been known to be proficient in spear and shield combat, use of a greatsword, and even can use a mace with some proficiency.

One of his later trainers was one of the legendary unsullied of Astapor. After hearing of their legendary skill he convinced his father to hire one, who had him shipped from Astapor to train him. But he befriended this individual and afterward freed a number of his fellows who now follow him as leaders of his unit having trained others in a very similar style, though the core of the unit is at a different level being the genuine article.

 

[Hypnos]

Name: Gawen Tyrell
Titles: Knight of the Kingsguard
Age: 25
Appearance:

Personality: Hotheaded and brash, Ser Gawen Tyrell is a man chiseled from the same stone as his father; possessing a certain swagger that can only be expected from a scion of one of Westeros’ most powerful families. Though at first glance he might appear to be a fairly level-headed individual, quick to laugh and slow to anger, the truth is not quite so appealing, and Gawen has a hard time controlling his emotions, especially when he is in an ill-mood, which is not an uncommon occurrence. Whilst he attempts to uphold all of the values of a true knight, and views himself as epitome of chivalry: claiming to do all that he does in the name of glory and honour, Gawen has been known to neglect certain aspects of his duties, with many of his decisions and stances being in direct opposition to the knights code. Rash and easily fooled, Gawen is not much of a planner, nor is he one to think things through before rushing straight into action, leading to many impulsive decisions, the consequences of which are often left for someone else to deal with. Stubborn as a mule and proud to a fault, Gawen is never one to admit his own wrongdoing, yet he is quick to hold a grudge against anyone who would do him wrong.

Biography: The oldest living son of Lord Baelor Tyrell, and the first in line to inherit the lordship of the Reach, from the moment of his birth, Gawen Tyrell had been a problem child. Initially he had been the younger of two twin boys, however sickness had taken his brother before he reached his first name day, a sickness which had almost claimed Gawen’s life as well. This dire circumstance led to Gawen receiving a very intimate upbringing, with his mother keeping the boy by her side at all times lest she lose the child like he had lost its brother. This did not sit well with Lord Baelor, who expected the child to be raised amongst his household where he could be taught to fight and lead like the other boys his age, rather than sitting beside his mother learning to sew like a woman. Upon numerous occasions within his early life, Gawen would be taken by his father to learn the masculine arts required to be a lord, however Gawen always seemed hesitant and was quick to resist change, always reverting back to his mother. Eventually Lord Tyrell would get so tired of this that he would simply give up with the child, allowing him to waste his life away whilst he instead rested his attention upon his other, more promising sons. This would change however upon his mother’s death.

Upon Gowen’s eighth nameday, his mother would give birth to a final child, and in the process she would die. This left Gowen without the figure who had loomed over him his entire life, and give Lord Baelor the chance to once again attempt to mould his son into the man he wanted him to be. Baelor Tyrell grieved for his wife, but he did not waste any time in seizing the opportunity to influence his son, now Gawen had no alternative but to listen with little interest as his father instilled in him values of traditional honour and bravery, and whilst once he had been a sweet and fairly effeminate boy, he was now expected to become a brave and honourable knight. Under the tutelage of his mother he had always enjoyed fun and games, but under his father, who was still hurt from the loss of his wife all of that stopped and Highgarden became a generally more sombre place.

By the time he had reached his late teens, Gawen had grown to resent his father along with the lot he had been given in life. He began to seek out ways to actively spite his father including taking a lowborn girl as a lover, claiming that he would one day marry her and that their children would rule as Lords of Highgarden. In truth, Gawen felt very little for the woman, but he knew that her low status infuriated his father, and that was enough for him to proclaim his eternal love. Of course, such an arrangement was not sustainable. The woman would become pregnant with Gawen’s child, yet he was hesitant to actually marry her, everything had seemed fine when it was simply a ploy to anger his father, but when things got serious Gowen wasn’t sure he was willing to commit to marrying this woman. So Gawen did what any brave knight would do in his situation. He ran from his problems.

He would take a small retinue of knights from his father’s household and journey across Westeros as a tourney knight, leaving the woman in the hands of his father who was more than happy to see his son finally become ‘a man’, even if the circumstances were not ideal. This would only last for a few months before Gawen caught the attention of King Aegon VI during a tourney to celebrate the tenth name day of the King’s granddaughter Elaena, in which he would unhorse several notable knights. The King gave Gawen a place within the court (partially due to his important name) and Gawen would live in King’s Landing, attending to odd duties, but mostly attending balls and participating in tourneys and the like. King Aegon even offered Gawen a spot within his Kingsguard following a vacancy, however Gawen was unwilling to commit to a life of celibacy.

Gawen would not see his father again for many months, until eventually Lord Tyrell took the time to visit his son in the capital. Lord Baelor explained that he had dealt with Gawen’s former mistress, giving her moon tea for the child and sending her far away so that she could no longer be a problem. He likely thought that this would help to ease the tension with his son since, after all, it had caused him to leave, however he was wrong. Gawen was fickle man and the thought of his father murdering his child was not one that rested well with him, he flew into a frenzy, rejecting his father’s suggestion that he return home and reclaim his rightful place as heir of Highgarden. Instead, spite drove Gawen to make a decision that would define the rest of his life: he accepted King Aegon’s offer and joined the Kingsguard.

His father was furious, though he would not show this publically, and would in fact commend the King on his decision to honour House Tyrell with such an esteemed position. Gawen would be appointed as the sworn shield to Princess Elaena, the King’s granddaughter and would begin to grow close the young lady. She was young, full of energy and innocent of all of the woes of the world, the perfect foil to Gawen’s miserable cowardice, she brought out the best in him, treating him like a brother, the sort of family he had never had back in Highgarden.

Gawen never mended the relationship with his father, even when Baelor was appointed Master of Laws and Gawen’s sister (who was little more than a stranger to him) was married off to Prince Jaehaerys of Dragonstone. Gawen now spends his time moping around, being generally bitter.

Other: Gawen is proficient with both a sword and a lance and made a name for himself as a tourney knight.

Name: Melessa Tyrell
Titles: Princess Dowager, Tyrell Scion
Age: 17
Appearance:

Personality: Gentle and ladylike, Melessa Tyrell is the perfect exemplar of a young woman at court, enjoying every aspect of traditional palace culture. She likes to dance, to sing, to dress up in fancy gowns and watch tourney’s featuring brave knights and acts of gallantry, some might call her simple compared to the great schemers and boisterous court personalities that had occupied the role of Princess consort in the past, but in truth, Mel has little interest in the intricacies of politics and web weaving. This is not to say however, that she is stupid, far from it, but her interests lie with topics far more mundane than the game of thrones. Loyal to a fault, and compassionate about those that she cares about, Mel is a fairly weak willed individual, when it comes down to it, she would rather be of use to someone else than to carry out her own interests, which has made her very poor at getting her own opinions across, especially when confronted with a big personality such as her father or her (former) husband.

Biography: The youngest child of Lord Baelor Tyrell, and his only daughter, Melessa’s birth marked a great tragedy for the people of Highgarden, when her mother, who had always been a frail woman yet had persevered through the births of three other children, passed away. Melessa was named in her honour, and lived under her shadow throughout the majority of her early life. If her brother Gawen could be described as a problematic, then Melessa would be the golden child. Lord Baelor loved his daughter dearly, more so than all of his other children, and that was apparent by the attention that he showed her. Whilst Gawen was off rebelling, Mern was reading a book and Garth was lying drunk in an alleyway somewhere, Mel would always remain by her father’s side. When she was an infant the court had joked that she was Lord Tyrell’s tail, and age did little to displace this habit.

As she grew older and began to mature into womanhood, Mel found herself the subject of much admiration from potential suitors and lords and knights of the realm. As early as fourteen she received an offer of marriage (which her father had politely declined) and from that point onwards it was not uncommon for people to touch the subject of her marriage whenever they spoke with her father. Lord Tyrell held out however, this was his only daughter, the last vestige of his late wife, and he would not marry her off until he received an offer that blew him away. Eventually, that offer would come.

Tyland Lannister was the younger brother of Lord Loren Lannister, and on top of a strong family name he was a rather impressive specimen. Charming, charismatic, attractive: Lord Tyrell was impressed from first sight, and Mel herself was smitten. An arrangement was made to betroth Mel and Tyland and seal a bond of blood between their two houses, Tyland would come and stay in Highgarden for a time, where Mel would fall head over heels over what seemed to be the image of a perfect knight. Unfortunately, it was not to last, whilst Lord Baelor had been negotiating a dowry with the Lord of Casterly Rock, he spied a bigger fish. Baelor Tyrell had been appointed as the King’s Master of Laws, and suddenly he found himself with access to the ear of Aegon VI. Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen had been without a wife since the death of Jynessa Martell and he was still without male issue, Lord Baelor was able to influence the king into favouring the Tyrells for a potential bride and suddenly the Lannister marriage was called off. Inwardly, Mel was distraught, though she did not outwardly show so much as a hint that she did not want to marry the Prince, who was already many years her senior.

Melessa met Prince Jaehaerys for the first time three days before they were to be wed, he was a nice enough man, but he was not what she had hoped for in a husband and his affection towards her seemed more fatherly than that of a husband and a wife. Mel suffered in silence however, she would not ruin the plan that her father had spent countless nights concocting and she did not want to embarrass House Tyrell by seeming ungrateful at the chance to marry a prince. So marry him she did, and she did everything that was expected of her as a wife.

Whilst her marriage life was not exactly the greatest, she did find herself attracted to the life of King’s Landing and countless balls and dances were enough to keep her occupied, she was never unhappy with her life as Princess consort, though that did not stop her from wondering what life would have been like under different circumstances. A few months into the marriage and Mel was already pregnant with Jaehaerys’ child, which was cause for much celebration, though of course this did not last long since Jaehaerys would pass away only a little later, leaving behind him an unhappy widow with a child still in her belly.

Other: Melessa and her brother Gawen share the same nameday, despite being born several years apart.

Melessa is a very accomplished, singer, dancer and musician, but she does not know the first thing about fighting.

  personality
  

  

  
  Despite of her being a fifteen year old girl, Aregelle Stark, the youngest daughter of Bryce and Amelia Stark, is mature for her age. She may not understand much, but she is not naïve and ignorant in the ways of the world. She knew that the world is sometimes not fair and not all men have a good heart. She’s a very mercurial young girl, often quiet and moody. But there are times when she is spirited, charming, and childish just like any children in her age should be. An inquisitive and relentless girl. She could be a little mischievous sometimes, causing a little trouble here and there, and due to her charming and innocent looks, not to mention her way with words and reasoning, she often got away with things. She can be deemed as arrogant and snobbish but Aregelle is kind to those beneath her station. She is quite known to be honest. Almost brutally and won’t held back nor lie if she can.
  Other : Aregelle is good at horse riding, not bad at needlework either. Has a passion for archery but is still working her aim. Follows the old gods but is fascinated by the faith of the seven. Fond of going to the godswood just cause she finds it peaceful. She collects dolls and has a couple of them and is very protective over them.

  personality
  
  A woman with a hidden past and Cyrenna likes to keep it that way. When asks, her life begun when the day she joined the mummers.

She is headstrong but knows when to keep her head down. Cyrenna possesses the right amount of ambition and power to do her job quite well. She poses as a timid, polish and a quiet woman but in reality she is ruthless to those who crosses her and would punish them just to make a point but she is also generous and amiable to those who help her. Cunning, ingenious, shrewd and well-knowledge, not to mention the vast connections she now possesses and controls, she is a force to be reckoned and an ally worth working with.
  
  biography
  
  Cyrenna ran away from Seagard when she was 10 and 3. The talk of her going to wed some Frey was the last straw. She endured the years where she was taught on how to act, walk and talk just like a noble woman that she is but then when her parents set her off to marry a snot-eating chubby cheeked Frey, she set off to create her own fortune. She hated what had become of her older sisters and refused to be of the same fate so running away was her resort. Not smart and granted, a
  decision out of whim, she did anyway. After stealing money and necklace worth selling and a family heirloom, a brooch, she set off and stow away to the caravan that delivers the supplies from Seagard. But sadly, the caravan only took her to Maidenpool, the place where she stayed for at least a year. With nothing else to go on, she resolve in stealing anything she can to help herself.
  
  One hungry night, she finally thought of selling her body just to get by but then another prospect walks her way. With her hard earned skills of thieving, she picked pocketed a random item out of the man. As it turns out, he was the Master of Whisperers and Cyrenna just stole an important document from him. Once caught, seeing past the crime and acknowledging talent, he took her out of Maidenpool and brought her to King's Landing where his company of mummers is located.
  
  They're mummers that travel all over the countries, from Essos and Westeros and back to perform apart from gathering news for the Master of Whisperers. For years Cyrenna stayed with the company, learning their ways such as acting and juggling and performance and at the same time, learning how to deceive and gather information without getting caught.
  
  When she was 10 and 9 she finally stayed with the Master of Whisperers, and learns the trade and how to handle their 'network'. She was his prodigy. When she was 20 and 2, the Master fell ill and died with natural causes. And with that, she took the title and continued to serve the cause she was taught.
  
  NOTE :
  - Cyrenna Mallister is her real name but she denounced her family and never spoke of them since the day she ran away from home. Apart from the late Master of Whisperers, no one knows her true identity.
  - She has a sell sword, a banker in Braavos and a Wise Master for lovers whom all think that she is a just mummer.
  - Due to her upbringing, she knows how to write and read already and has background familiarity about the great and noble houses. She also has an extensive knowledge about poisons and understands and possibly speaks Valyrian apart from the common tongue.

  Full Name
  Harlan Royce
  
  
  Titles
  Ser, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Harlan the Runeknight, Linebreaker, Maybe More Pending a Brainwave
  
  
  Age
  63, Born in 236 AC
  
  
  Family
  Father: Raymund Royce
  Elder Brother: Edmund Royce
  WIP
  
  
  Personality
  Harlan Royce is, in short, an ideal Lord Commander. He is a gallant man who is always willing to lead the charge. However, age and experience has tempered youthful recklessness into a measured, quiet bravery. This experience and wisdom is something he shares readily, and he is able at mentoring people. Very little moves Harlan, but injustices, cruelty, and suffering most definitely do, even if he expects them. His many years in King's Landing, silently bearing witness to the plots and betrayals of others, have left him weary of political games. He has a discerning eye and is an excellent judge of character, which serves him well in the noble courts, but is occasionally overrun by cynicism and mentally declares someone to be a bad egg on no evidence other than his own experience that they probably are. He also has the occasional blind spot, such as towards a few of his Kingsguard. Gawen Tyrell you bloody bastard.
  
  Regardless of this cynicism, Harlan is a man of immense grace, dignity, and virtue. He is often idealised as a kind of example to live up to, and a knighthood from him is worth a ship full of silver in some circles, if not even more, and this is not without reason. Patience, valour, prudence, chastity, honesty, temperance, diligence, courtesy, and generosity are all among the qualities he lays claim to. This means his support is a valuable commodity for those less scrupulous than himself. To be around him is almost to have his knightly character rub off on you. Whether it sticks or not is down to the individual, however. In terms of flaws, Harlan is excellent at keeping his under control. In moments of weakness, he can be distant, overly aggressive and provocative, and destructively angry. These moments are rare, and Harlan is quick to find something to hold to rather than let his failings get in the way of his duties.
  
  
  Biography
  Even from birth, it is said, Harlan Royce was an ideal son. He never so much as cried, the story goes. In actuality, Harlan was much like most other children in his position, that just makes for a less boring song. The primary influence on the man he would become was his childhood fascination with stories of knights and the noble Kingsguard with their white cloaks and unwavering duty. In a way, he never really grew out of the fantasy. He just grew into it. With his brother Edmund competently filling the role of heir, Harlan was free—even encouraged—to pursue his martial ambitions. He was a warlike child, and proved quite rowdy as a young boy.
  
  It was at seven that Harlan left Runestone to become a page to Ser Osmund Corbray, who at the time was the Knight of the Bloody Gate. From Osmund, Harlan learned many things. How to develop his uncanny talent, for one. But more importantly, Osmund schooled Harlan in the proper conduct of a knight and a good man. While Osmund himself was not a paragon of these things, he hoped that Harlan would be. He would not be disappointed. It was Osmund who first taught Harlan the value of not mindlessly throwing himself into a fight, though it took a rough lesson or two to get it through to Harlan at first. Of course, Osmund could not claim all credit for who Harlan grew into. Some must be said of Harlan himself, who was bright and open enough to properly learn all the lessons Osmund had for him, and of strong enough moral fibre and will to hold to them as he matured.
  
  Two years later, Harlan was elevated to being Osmund's squire, and the lessons continued. Osmund told him tales of the men he had met and known. Men like his uncle, Ser Gwayne Corbray, or the Lord Commander at the time, Ser Duncan the Tall. It was following the examples of men like these that Harlan was knighted at sixteen, after Osmund was wounded in an ambush by mountain clansmen and Harlan rose to the challenge, rallying the patrol and personally leading the counterattack that saw the clansmen off. Reluctant to leave his mentor already, Harlan stayed at the Bloody Gate for a time, continuing to receive Osmund's wisdom, gain experience, and mature.
  
  On his twenty-second birthday, Harlan returned to Runestone as a grown man, far removed from the petulant, angry child that had left it. His father, Raymund, was on his deathbed. While Harlan had indeed been rather distant from his family, he loved his father, and further understood his duties to him. Regardless, his return was met rather coolly by his brother, Edmund. The word somehow did not feel right for Harlan. He understood Edmund was his brother, but felt nothing brotherly for him. The two had changed too much, and were too different to reconnect in any meaningful way. For the rest of their lives, the two would remain somewhat respectful towards each other, but otherwise distant.
  
  With both his sons at his side, Raymund passed in his sleep two weeks later. In the years following, Edmund attempted to persuade Harlan to marry, but Harlan refused, his head filled by visions of a white cloak. The two fell out, widening the rift between them even further. It was somewhat fortunate, then, that in 260 AC, two years after Harlan's return, the Ninepenny Kings came calling.
  
  Harlan seized the opportunity, abruptly departing Runestone and joining the fleet that sailed to the Stepstones. He distinguished himself above all others in the battles of the year that followed, even fighting alongside Victarion Greyjoy as he burst through the ranks of the Golden Company and slew Maelys the Monstrous. Harlan had his own share of bastard-slaying, chasing Daemon Blackfyre, Maelys' cousin, and slaying him in yet another duel, and thus ending the Blackfyre line. There is a story going around that he saved an important man's life, but the exact identity changes between tellings, and Harlan swears up and down that it's a fabrication anyway. Regardless, he did catch the eye of the Lord Commander at the time, and on the war's end he was made a Knight of the Kingsguard.
  
  Thirty-nine years and two successions of exemplary service later, Harlan had been Lord Commander for a decade and a half. And then King Aegon VI died, and things... escalated.
  
  Other
  An incredibly skilled swordsman, but slowed greatly by age. While he was a legendary knight in his prime, he is no longer that man. He is no longer unparalleled, merely falling within a vague upper echelon. Impressive considering his age, but that won't stop a sword. Has an excellent sense of style, blending a fashionable mix of practicality and aesthetics, tends to accidentally set trends in the Red Keep. Never drinks, as he's a massive lightweight, but he claims it's because he sees it as more becoming of a knight to always be unimpaired by wine. Both are the reason. Harlan has a soft spot for all of his old squires, and feels great pride in Joron Corbray, his favourite.

Lord Ryman Tully

Spoiler

Full Name :
Ryman Tully II

Titles :
Lord of Riverrun
Lord Paramount of the Trident

Age :
Born in 253 AC
46 Summers Old

Family :


Personality :
A kind, compassionate man, Ryman Tully has often been called the father of the Riverfolk. He looks at every peasant in his land like a father would their child. Unfortunately for the children, Ryman's not a very good father. He tries, though, and that's what matters. His many failings, if it's in stocking up for Winter or finding a way to increase the flow of trade into the Riverlands, have taken a toll on the lord. He puts forth a strong smile, he'll laugh loudly, but a life time of never measuring up to the standards of his father and a scrutinizing glare from his wife, seen in Lord Ryman's worst nightmares, has made him soft, malleable. No stupid man, no, Ryman is just a craven, unable to look you in the eyes if you begin to shout and accuse him of a crime. Somewhat withdrawn, the few friends he has describe him as thus: a kind, and compassionate man, who would wish to treat the smallfolk like he does his children.


Biography :

Son of Lord Ryman Tully the First and Lady Jeyne Blackwood, Lord Ryman Tully the Second has been Lord Paramount of the Trident for the past decade and a half. In his mid twenties, Ryman Tully the First and his second son, Sir Roger Tully (then early 20's) went on what seemed like a regular hunt. Lord Ryman (the second) was supposed to join his siblings, but was held up at Riverrun. During the nearly two week hunt, Father and Son found their luck waning, with little to boast about apart from a boar cooked early on in their venture. Roger Tully, unwilling to return empty handed, took off at the first sight of a buck. Despite Lord Ryman's warning, Roger raced after the buck, spear in hand and fire in his eyes. The chase lasted but minutes. Amidst the thrill of the hunt, Roger's horse gave out underneath him, a leg bending and breaking as it tripped. Tossed, flying through the air and landing with a resounding crack, Roger struck the ground. The scene was described as one of pure agony, palpable in the air, as father rushed to his fallen child. The small party immediately backtracked, heading for Riverrun to get Roger the treatment he desperately needed. Alcohol filled in his belly, it is said that Roger apologized profusely to his father, before dying in a peasant's wagon not days later.

Lord Ryman (the first) was distraught. It's said he never regained his wit, strength faded as he drowned out sorrow with wine. Much like his son, Lord Ryman would collapse within the year, drunk on Arbor Gold and dropping from the ramparts of the castle. He died a day later, never regaining consciousness. At 26, Lord Ryman (the second) became defacto Lord of Riverrun, soon named Lord Paramount as well. Devastated by the death of his beloved younger brother and then his father, Ryman escaped to the solitude of his keep, refusing to meet any of his lords, leaving his recently wed lady, Pia Piper, to handle the funeral plans and greet well wishers. Emasculating as that was, Ryman's life would be marred by controversy. Hints of his wife mingling with Lord Walder Whent sprung up, handmaidens being the likeliest culprit. Ryman had them hung for those words, refusing to believe them. In the years after, Ryman has had several children. The first named after his grandfather, Edmure. The second, after his father. And the final daughter named by Lady Pia. His reign has been unremarkable. Rumors of the cheating wife and the bastard children no great secret, though rarely mentioned to his face.

Other :

Lord Ryman is a deep ally to the arts, often painting portraits of others upon their request (or his insistence). He isn't very good, though he finds it soothing, especially during the Autumn.

  Faceclaim: Henry Cavill
  
  Full Name :
  Alexander Baratheon
  
  Titles :
  Lord of House Baratheon, Lord Paramount of The Stormlands, Lord of Storm's End, Ser Alexander
  
  Age :
  38 years old (Born in 261 AC)
  
  Family :
  Family Tree
  Alexander is married to Lilith Baratheon née Connington and together they had three children: Emma Baratheon, the oldest one, Eleanor Baratheon and the youngest one Ethan Baratheon.
  
  Personality :
  Alexander is a man of family and justice. He will do whatever he must to keep his family in power, but he will not use dirty tricks to achieve his goal. Not at first at least. He is known for his fairness in trials and judgements and because of that he is considered by some one of the best rulers the Stormlands has ever had. However, and this is hidden from the public eyes, he is not a honorable fool. Against backstabbing and dirty methods, he fights fire with fire. Furthermore, just like others, he wants his House to raise in power and get even more wealth and strength. So he will do whatever he can to keep his sister and children as members of the royal family.
  
  The thing he loves the most is his children. As a great warrior, he doesn't have many weaknesses, not in the battlefield at least. Hurting his family might be the best way to hurt him, but good luck for those who try. If anyone messes with his son and daughter, they will get pierced by the stag's antlers.
  
  Biography :
  "I was never meant to become the person I am today. These titles I received and still bear up to date were not mine by right, not at first at least. My foolish older brother was the one destined to rule over the Stormlands, under the King's name of course. However, arrogance and cockiness brought his death sooner than everyone expected. He might have had a bright future waiting for him, if it wasn't the foolish decision of fighting someone bigger than him, faster than him and stronger than him. Don't get me wrong, my brother was quite skilled at combat, but like my old man used to say, there is always someone better than us in this world. In one of those small tourneys, he got pierced by a sword in the chest. No matter the talent, no one can survive that. So, with the death of Jaspar Baratheon, I had to take House Baratheon's reins.
  
  My father and mother died years after, but not before leaving behind six children. Honestly our sigil should've changed to a rabbit for how many descendants they reproduced. Besides my late older brother, my siblings are: Jocelyn Baratheon, the current Dowager Queen, Alys Baratheon, my sister who died very young, reason why I don't hold many memories of her and finally, the twins Jon and Joy. We all have a good relationship, which makes me very proud of our united family.
  
  Continuing the story, since I was the heir, I had to learn faster and much more than my brother and sisters. Fortunately, and while I am not a religious person I still have much gratitude, I had to thank the gods for being blessed with the capacity to learn quick and well. I became the man I am today, a strong knighted warrior and strategist, as well as a cultured man.
  
  After I became officially Lord of House Baratheon, the next important step of my life was the marriage with the beautiful daughter of Lord Connington. I married Lilith, a breath taking red haired woman who I grew to love as the years went by. Together we had three children, my precious gems and the things I care most about in this world, who we named Emma, Eleanor and Ethan. They are both beautiful children, well educated, though Ethan is more fragile than what I wished. He already knows how to swing a sword and hold a shield up, but he is nowhere near I was when I had his age.
  
  My tale now takes us to the present, where a Council with the Lords of the seven Kingdoms are to reunite and discuss who should we support as the new heir to the throne. My decision is already been made, as I will take sides with the person my sister is supporting. Nevertheless, I will still attend this meeting and wish for the best. I can feel the atmosphere changing and become heavy. I sense a dark cloud about to cover Westeros with its shadows. But one thing is clear, I pity the soul who comes to my Kingdom looking for trouble. My father used to say "he whom sows winds, harvests storms". Well, to whoever is planning on becoming a stag's enemy, be ready, for we are prepared, and you will not leave the battlefield without the cold pierce of our antlers and the devastating blow of our fury."
  
  Other :
  -Alexander is not fond of wine, reason why at parties you will see him drink two cups maximum;
  -Alexander's equipment:
  +his sword, which has a cross-guard that represents a stag's antlers. This cross-guard is made of metal, although it is painted in dusty white to look like the animal's weapon;
  +his armor, a very well made armor by the finest of blacksmiths in Westeros. The helmet has two antlers, one in each side, as a tribute to Alexander's House's Sigil;
  +his warhammer, rarely ever used by Alexander. This big bludgeoning weapon is reserved for a true war and battlfield and not only for mere duels;
  -Those have seen Alexander fight, or dueled him themselves, know that while he is not that fast, his swings deal destructive blows if they hit something;
  -Alexander, along with his siblings, has a personal motto taught by their father: "He whom sows winds, harvests storms".

House Dayne

Spoiler

Violet of eyes and tall, Lord Dayne stands at an inch above six feet with a lithe frame.

Full Name :
Steffon Dayne

Titles :
Lord of Starfall
Ser
The Sword of the Morning

Age :
31
Born in 261

Family :


Personality :
Many Houses play the game of thrones, intending to advance their social standing and personal power through trickery and word play. While Steffon is not opposed to having his noble house gain greater honors, he has no great interest in turning from a Dayne to a Viper to don a cloak of false virtues. Steffon was raised to always achieve and progress through life with all the ethics of a chivalric knight. It will be his actions, not exaggerated by the scheming lords of Westeros, that win him personal glory. Not who he has poisoned. Steffon Dayne cherishes his swordmanship above most else, but admiration for travel threatens to overtake it on certain days when he resides at Starfall. In recent years, Steffon Dayne's faith in the Seven - and even the chivalric oaths he holds so dear - have come into conflict with the death of his wife and unborn babe. Steffon fights to believe in the Seven, having heard repeatedly that they have a plan for everyone. But, the Lord of Starfall struggles to understand the plan they have for him, taking away his future cruelly. Holding true to his values, Steffon doubts himself at times, wondering if it's worth it, living as he does with piety and morality constantly intermingling in his mind for every action. Some days, he feels tired, ready to abandon the persona he's forged around himself.

Biography :
House Dayne's reputation can hardly be called speck less, with wars against the Sandy Dornish and those of the Reach darting back for centuries. Still, they retain a reputation of a strong and honorable house, with a great thanks to their mythical sword, Dawn. Steffon, growing up, was immersed in stories of his ancestors and their actions that - to him at least - shaped Westeros for the better. He did not stop just at past Swords of the Morning (or a Sword of the Evening) but the great warriors of the continent itself. Lord Gwayne Dayne made it no secret that he wanted Steffon to be the very model of a modern knight. Strong, honorable, dutiful, handsome, skilled. These traits, most at least, did not come easy to Steffon. Frequently, tours of Dorne or other kingdoms of Westeros were put on indefinite hold. Lessons by his maester, reading and writing specifically, were sacrificed all so that Steffon could spend four additional hours, five days a week, with his father and the Master At Arms at Starfall. While Steffon had an affinity for fighting, learning how to properly wield a sword, ride a horse and joust would push him to the brink. His mettle was tested more than once in his youth, and losing the first ever joust he participated in threatened to break the aspiring knight. With a strong slap from his father whenever he was down and encouraging words from his mother or the Master at Arms and Steffon felt compelled to try again - and even harder. By his 17th year, Steffon competed in his third tourney and surprised himself when he nearly won it. Alas, the joust proved to be his undoing, having broken four lances on his rival before being ejected from his saddle.

When 20 years old, Steffon and Lord Gwayne would leave Dorne for a period of three years, only periodically returning for whenever Gwayne needed to pay homage to his liege lord. The two and a small host of retainers traveled the Reach, Riverlands, Crownlands and parts of the West, building Steffon's reputation and giving the now knighted young man the experience he direly wanted. His placement in tourneys, big and small, remained consistent. He would be one of the final four knights to still ride, never achieving that coveted winner status. This would change during Steffon's final year out in the country with his father. A tourney in the Reach, drawing lords from even Dorne near, saw Steffon's finest moment. There, he met a young woman, blonde of hair and with eyes of the sea. His heart stricken, the young knight boldly propositioned her. A promise was made to the woman - and of course her father - that if Steffon could be the finalist and win the tourney, he would take the hand of Arianne Fowler. With Arianne watching him, Steffon broke seven lances on his competition, earning himself an equal if not greater amount shattered on his shield. Tired with a soreness of no meager quality growing, Steffon and this knight met for a last clash, rending the rival from his seat and Steffon the victor.

Arianne and Steffon wed shortly after that, returning to Starfall for a short year, before Ser Steffon saw the outside world as more alluring than Dorne. Gwayne, finding no fault in his son wanting to leave once more, had Steffon ask his new wife. Arianne Fowler, a kind woman who had no great love for Dorne or the Red Mountains, would allow Ser Steffon to leave, only if he took her with him. With a small host for protection, the future Lord and Lady of Starfall left Dorne together. For two years, Ser Steffon jousted, dueled with blades, and participated in few melee's, victory coming to the man naturally, as long as his Lady wife was there to watch him. She empowered Ser Steffon with his greatest defeats occurring whenever Lady Arianne was off and away.

Ser Steffon, if asked, would describe these two years as the happiest time of his life. It was not to last. Shortly before turning 26, Ser Steffon was bid to return to Dorne after hearing an illness his father had been battling for months now. The maester (who had read to him the message from Starfall) described the situation as dire. Gwayne Dayne was losing the fight. With haste, Ser Steffon and Lady Arianne raced back to Dorne, arriving quickly to check upon Gwayne. The old man, resentful of the fact he chased his son from the outside world while Steffon was still so young, tried to shoo away the younger Dayne. It did not work and for the last month of his life, Gwayne and Steffon spent their time together in Starfall, mending to the smallfolk or playfully swinging swords at each other. Strength was fading in Gwayne like the Red Fork to the sea, yet he refused to abandon the blade, even if his swings were shallow and exhausting. On his final days alive, Gwayne called Steffon to his bedchamber. There, they discussed Gwayne's passing, advice on ruling - a lesson that was neglected compared to his knightly training - and picking up Dawn. Gwayne exclaimed in his final day in Dorne that he believed Steffon was worthy of the sword, showing every trait required. A somber farewell, Gwayne would die in the night and Steffon, now lord, would pick up the greatsword.

This did not come without criticism. Some believed that Lord Dayne took advantage of his father's passing to satisfy his own lust for glory, thus donning the moniker "The Sword of the Morning". Others, slightly more familiar with Gwayne and Steffon, would describe it as Gwayne trying to appease his son and be a good father one last time. Tournaments were no longer the stables for Steffon. Instead, he resided at Starfall, where he would remain until the present. A year and a half, Lord Steffon's wife would give birth to a daughter, to the joy of both. They had been trying for a decade to conceive but faced numerous problems. Alas, it was not to be. Trouble giving birth led to Arianne's demise, not before naming their daughter and apologizing for leaving her husband so early. Not two days later, Little Elyn Dayne would pass away, too feeble to survive. This would rock Steffon's world, radically shaking his views on both his faith and his dedication to chivalric values.

Lord of the Marshes
Lord of Nightsong

Age :
35, 264 AC

Family :
Donnel Caron- Brother
Joselyn Baratheon- Sister-in-law
Alexander Baratheon- Brother-in-law



Personality :
Caron is a cunning, Machiavellian, unpredictable, and ruthless manipulator of court politics. He is at times capable of putting on a seemingly friendly face with a friendly smile - but his eyes don't smile when his mouth does. The exact inner motivations that drive Caron are unclear, as are his ultimate goals, but he has no real loyalty or genuine affection for anyone. Behind his smiles and forced mild manners, Gaheris is shrewd and calculating, willing to casually dispose of people who trusted him, like a man replacing a coat he no longer needs. He is an extremely intelligent man, not only a genius at financial matters but at cynically controlling those around him


Biography :
Gaheris was born before his more known brother, Donnel, making him the first heir to Nightsong. Throughout his youth, he remained the quiet boy known to stay close to either a bow or a book, while his younger brother was known for his charm and charisma. Keeping his inner demons quiet and his ideas against his family , he decided to pressure a career in archery.

At the age of 18, he joined the Caron Guard, a elite group of rangers that operated within the marshes of the Stormlands and Westerlands. There Gaheris found his home. The serenity of nature, along with his passion for archery provided the man with the escape he needed from his noble ties. Becoming the group’s Head Ranger at the age of 25, he felt his life was complete... Until he met her... In a supply trip to Oldtown, Gaheris met a young seamstress named Angelina, and instantly was mesmerized Lying about his last name, he made it his priority to win over the maiden in his short time in town... And he did. But, their time came to an end, and once again he was tossed back into the woods.

At the age of 28, he soon got word of his father’s passing, leaving the burden of royalty upon his shoulders. His fellow rangers knew it would be best for him to return home, and decided to escort their leader home... Until an attack from the Dornish marshes, for reasons unknown, surprised the group. In that attack was where Gaheris lost his grasp upon himself, and sucummed to the attack. Five of his men died that day, along with the fatal injuries to his back and leg...

Waking up back in Nightsong to the news was world-shattering to the newly named Lord of the Marshes, as well as earning the ironic nickname Arrowhead for the amount of them removed from his body. Hearing it would take months to recover demolished the man’s spirit, and wished for solitude most of his days... In that solitude, he relished in his thoughts, not able to accept the powerless state he was in. He would do better. He would play the game...


After making a full recovery, minus a limp and backache, Gaheris took his new duty and name with a oddly relaxed and accepting attitude. But little did anyone know of his new intentions...

Personality: Arrans upbringing characterized his personality. Practising every day with his own father as his personal trainer has made sword fighting the most important thing in Arrans life. Communication, education and women always coming second, resulting in Arran to be known as an emotionless, controlled and stable man. Which was not the case. Identity and sexuality was a daily challenge that Arran constantly oppresses by instead focusing on fighting. His strongest dislikes are noble lords and ladies, politics, theory and religion since he was never schooled.
Arran can be direct, rude and honest to disguise his weaker sides. He doesn't trust strangers easily and needs time to develop a feeling of care for others.

Within its tall walls, he was trained by his knighted father, ser Greg Royce, to become a better fighter than him.

Resulting from this was Arran becoming one of the best sword fighters in Runestone, respect and loyalty to his father but also a shaking relationship between them, built purely on Arran pushing himself to always improving. Arrans personality strongly reflected this harsh upcoming. His reason for now going to Harrenhal is to take his father place because of sickness.

Other: Arran was a respected and talented swordsman. Carrying one of the finest blades, Royhart, which only could be used by someone matching his strength. His talent with the sword from a horseback was not as impressive, but still better than most.
Arran had no one he considered his friends, only acquaintances. He never attends parties as a guest, instead, he stands by as a guard. This meeting going to be a new experience for him.

Good-Brother: Donnel Carron
Good-Sister: Lillith Connington

Nephew: Ethan Baratheon
Nephew: Jaehaerys Targaryen
Niece: Eleanor Baratheon

Great Niece: Eleana Targaryen

PersonalityFrom an early age, Jon knew there was no grand titles that would come his way. In a way this was liberating as he was free to do as he wished. Of course he did not view this as a child. Only seeing himself as a spare to be kept should something happen his older brothers Jaspar and Alexander. Of course this Rougish attitude would influence his choices later in life. Jon is like a summer breeze as his mother would say, impossible to hold down, even harder to control.

Jon is a law onto himself, however something he takes seriously is his family. Despite his non-chalant, laid back attitude, whenever his family need him Jon can be counted to stand by his family.

From his time travelling, Jon became more "liberal" regarding relationships. He saw the struggles his siblings went through during the initial stages of their relationships and made a silent vow he would not go through that sort of torture. Besides a 3rd son, so far down the line of succession to Storms End was not the top of most lords choices. So while his siblings knew of Jons preferences it was kept within the family.​

Biography​

Jon Grew as the youngest son of Lord Jon Baratheon. From a young age a few things were very apparent. His older sister Jocelyn would be queen of the seven kingdoms and the seven help anyone who derailed or threatened that and another was that Jon's prospects regarding his position were little to none. As the third son he would stand little chance to inherit anything beyond a small piece of unclaimed land of the Stormlands. As a child this made Jon incredibly Jealous and Bitter, however as an adult he was glad to be free of any kind of confinement.

As Jon grew, he was a wild child preferring to play and explore than study. On more than one occasion he earned his parents ire. It was by chance that Jon learnt that his father had no plans for him long term. His sisters would wed to gain their house power and his older brother would inherit the Storm Lands. Jon decided he wanted to explore, not just Storms End, but the seven kingdoms and maybe even Essos.

When Jon turned 16, his father agreed to these plans. Jon would travel first around the Stormlands before moving up to Kings Landing to visit his sister, then make a loop of the kingdoms, The Vale then to the North before moving back down through the Riverlands and Westerlands before moving through the Reach and Down to Dorne.

Jon travelled as expected and upon arriving in Kings Landing, slid right into court life. Of course the Queens youngest brother visiting court got him some attention as expected. While there, he done a few things to make sure his family's position remained intact. He knew his Sister, while devout had issue with his fluidity regarding who warmed his bed. But Jon's unwavering loyalty towards his sister kept this from becoming an issue.

After his travels in the kingdoms was done, he made his way east. Spending time as a member of a mercenary company and moving around the free cities, Jon gained valuable experience. It was this experience that led Jon to build up his own network of informants. With the idea of pulling in knowledge from various places and pick out what the family could use.

Others1) While he is fluid with relationships, Jon has a preference for men.
2) Jon learnt from an early age how to pick locks with much success.
3) Jon is adept with multiple weapons including A spear, A sword and an Arakh.
