6) Character Personal History: Aemon was born the second son of Harold's grandfather. Born when his father was close to forty he was raised with his brother's son. He quickly realized he wasn't going to rule and threw himself into becoming a warrior. His love of reading began as he learned about Aemon the Dragon Knight, his namesake. He read all about the Targaryen prince and then branched out to other great warriors. Over time reading became more important than knighthood, but more on that later.
Aemon grew up big and topped out a little over six and a half feet, his body being lanky but chorded with muscle and little fat. He performed feats of strength. One reportedly of him yanking a rampaging bull to the dirt by its horns, eventually breaking its neck. Most of them where lost to history, but once and a while he will hear some of the common children talk about Ser Aemon, the Knight of Rivers and Fords. Who killed the frog king, and ate a whole goose in one sitting. Or supposedly defeating a prince and bedding the man's royal sister. Being happily married the last part was most certainly an embellishment.
As time wore on and his strength waned, Aemon had the foresight to lay down the sword and take a look at reading again. He quickly sharpened his mind on the likes of Septon Denys and Prince Aeryn the Wordsmith. He found that he could learn so much more from devouring the books with his mind then he had gallivanting around the countryside.
He has spent the last ten years perusing the libraries of Step Stone keeps and fighting in the King's War.
7) Character Physical Description: Ser Aemon is tall with broad shoulders that have been bent and bowed by the weight of responsibility. He has long white hair and a closely cropped white beard. Even in old age his powerful gaze hasn't lost its touch, but he has learned to diminish it at will. He has a kind aura about him and a slight yet sad smile on his face, hidden slightly by his beard.
8) Character Reputation: Known as a formerly great knight who has since taken up reading, he hasn't touched a sword in years. Known for feats of strength in his youth, he is now known for feats of wisdom and wit. He is a skilled negotiator and is often used as a diplomat for Lord Harold. He is quiet and kind, but is occasionaly roused to fury, usually by his grandson.

6) Character Personal History: Raised by his grandparents after his father died and his mother became a moody, secluded madwomen. They tried to instill upon him a sense of humility and thankfulness. He relished rebelling against them and when his grandfather took him as his squire he was excited. He had heard stories about his grand dad but was always told they were just that, stories.
Not given a traditional knight to look up to, he learned how to fight smart, not with brute strength. Not that he wouldn't have been able to do that, he is the spinning image of his grandfather and has intense strength. He squired for his grandpa in the King's War, acting as his squire and messenger boy. Once knighted he stormed several castles and took place in many battles, occasionally in a command role with Aemon, but his blood sings for battle and he mostly fought in the vanguard.
7) Character Physical Description: Meryn is tall like his grandfather but the sands of time haven't worn his strength yet. His sandy hair is kept short and is usually in disarray with a look of being barely matted down. He inherited his grandfather’s smile but it has a slight mischievousness. He usually wears a beard or five o clock shadow, having had to shave for some event he didn't want to go to.
8) Character Reputation: Called the Otter for his playfulness and his time spent on riverboats. Meryn is known as a clever fighter and man of great strength. He has fought in the vanguard of the army for the most part, but when entering excessively dangerous territory he is seen beside his grandfather.

Character Age: 68
Character Nationality: Riverlands
Character Byname: N/A
Character Skills:
Apprentice: Poisons
Apprentice: Deception
Novice: Political Intrigue
Novice: Healing
Beginner: Singing
Beginner: Drinking
6) Character Personal History: Born to house Smallwood, Lyselle was a third daughter to a tiny house and so was able to marry for love. She loved books and enjoyed bagging on her husband. Which allowed them to get along perfectly and make some history. Supposedly the one who was kidnapped by the Frog King, or was she the one who Ser Aemon bedded after defeating a Prince in combat?
7) Character Physical Description: Of medium height with an hour glass figure and a plump face. Her pale skin matches her recently silvering hair and her clear laugh. She is the opposite of Aemon but yet they seem perfectly matched for each other. She lets her husband talk and that allows her to look around and notice things he can’t, her eyes constantly scanning.
8) Character Reputation: Known as the clever wife and confidant of Aemon Tully, at least around Riverrun. Outside of that, not many know her. She has a wild side to her, and enjoys an occasional drink and loves to sing, sometimes at a tavern with her husband. The war has taken its toll on Lyselle, she smiles less and dreams of home. Seeing many wounded and mutilated bodies has made her dream of home.
