7) Character Personal History:

Darien was born to a Corbray mother and an unknown father. He was brought up in Heart's Home until he was six, when he was suddenly sent away, for reasons unknown to him. He was taken first to Braavos and then to Qohor, where he learned how to handle a sword and fought in many battle's against the Dothraki, preferring to ambush them rather than confront them in head-on battle. Upon his 18th Birthday, he decided to visit Pentos, where he befriended a magister. The man taught him that the blade is strongue, but that the tongue and mind can be stronger, and learned him the ways of intrigue and persuasion. When Darien turned 22 he received news that his mother had died; however, the letter that was brought to him also had some other information in it. It stated that his father was the late Edwyn Royce. Upon hearing the news, Darien decided to return to Westeros, with hopes of being legitimized and perhaps even knighted.

Upon returning he met his sister, Aranya Royce at Duskendale. The two warmed to each other very quickly and soon Darien got the job of finding who had poisoned several lords and ladies at a tourney feast that had been held shortly before he arrived. He was made Castellan of Duskendale for the time that Aranya went to Braavos, and soon detained a known assassin in Maidenpool. After torturing the man and finding out some information he went to Lannisport, in hope of catching the assassins cohorts.

However, a trap awaited him there and the assassin managed to get away. Darien stayed in Lannisport for several months, building up a small network, before sailing for Pyke to try and hire a notable axewoman by the name of Asha Sparr. He found Asha and hired her, however the night of the meeting he was crudely awakened by the woman and had his sexual innocence stolen. The following day, Darien had somewhat of a run in with Asha's brother, the Lord Sparr, whom he eventually killed in single combat. Severely injured, Darien was brought back to his own ship. Several days later, whilst trying to retain Asha's clothes (having destroyed her other clothes in his sexual revenge act) he was forced to flee from Pyke.

At the King's wedding Darien did not perform so well, he did however establish a somewhat stormy relationship with Asha, which ended in him being drowned and reborn. Following that, Darien went to a tourney at Blackhaven, where two mystery knight assassins tried to unsuccessfully murder him during the melee. They had been sent by the assassin that had slipped away.

Darien returned to King's Landing but soon went west to Deep Den to help defend it against the foreign invaders. He performed brilliantly in all three battles of Deep Den, as well as the retaking of Kings Landing, slaying five enemy champions and a lieutenant in total and saving the Kings Life. For this act Darien was granted lordship of Stonedance, and assumed the name of Greenstone (which had come about as Asha's nickname for him.

A week after the final battle, Darien married Asha, who was heavily pregnant, and eventually went north to help retake Harrenhal. Returning from Harrenhal, Darien has most recently attended the wedding of his niece Selyse Royce to Prince Rodrick Baratheon.

8) Character Physical Description:

Darien stands at 5'11', with a lean yet muscular frame. His hair is a black and mid length, the first gray hairs showing at the sides. Contrasting with his hair, Darien has one piercing blue eye, the other socket merely showing a scar. He still tends to wear travelers robes, mostly black, but upon important appointments he wears his lordly attire; raven black with his sigil sews to his left breast.

9) Character Reputation:

Among the Qohorik he is known as a strong warrior, sneaky and cunning. Among the Pentoshians he is known to be a bit of a manipulator, who, when he doesn't get what he wants, can burst into a fit of anger, something entirely contrasting to his usual character. For this they have named him 'the dark'. He is known amongst the Crownlands as one of the more recents lords, a man who achieved much in his young days and is now building a family. He is known as a recluse but gains respect by being the uncle of the Queen.

6) Character Personal History:

Brandon was born second child and first son to Lord Darien Greenstone, thus making him the heir to Stonedance. He was always been a very stoic and silent child, a trait that spread into his adulthood. Brandon discovered his interest in knightood early on and would ask his father all about it (who would reply that he had no idea because he was not knighted.) Brandon started pestering Darien's household knights, asking them to show him how to be like them and thus his training began. From the time Darien started being a recluse Brandon did not learn from him, but in recent years the two have been seen in the yard together. Brandon is now a young adult, knighted and ready to see the world. He has true vale blood in him and his is an intelligent, if somewhat ignorant, you man.

7) Character Physical Description:

Brandon stands at around 5'10'', with a lean and muscular frame like his father. His hair is raven black and cut short, his eyes a blue-gray hue that conveys intelligence and ferocity, if somewhat in a mild way. Brandon tends to wear simple clothes, mainly browns and blacks, and he has his house's sigil sewn to the breast of his clothes, like his father.

8) Character Reputation:

Brandon is not too well known outside of Stonedance. Inside he is known as quiet and solemn fellow, his veins completely lacking his mothers blood.

7) Character Personal History:

Aranya was born first child to Lord Darien Greenstone, and is almost certainly her mothers true daughter. A difficult child at all times, Aranya did her best to insult, outrage and hurt; causing a lot of distress amongst the household staff of Stonedance that had children. She loved the sea from a young age and would later spend a lot of time on the decks of ships, helping out with minute sailors tasks until she came of an age when she could captain her own ship, the 'Sea's Fury'. She has a knack with the sword, which she mostly trains with other sailors, her brother Brandon and rarely her parents, and she is known to inhabit several taverns in the villages surrounding Stonedance.

She has beads and feathers weaved into her hair and she most commonly wears either a set of large and thick bronze hoop earrings, or several studs of bronze and bone.
