Character Personal History: Rowyn was born the second son of Lord Oakheart of Old Oak. From an early age he was bookish and queit but his father, being a lively, robust man, would have none of it, and Rowyn was forced into the training yard. However, Rowyn was determined and once he applied himslef he showed great promise as a warrior. As he grew older he began to participate in tourneys and distinguish himself in both the joust and the sword, earning the pride and adoration of his father.
His older brother Rodwell ,to whom Rowyn had once been close , grew jealous and feared he would be replaced as heir to Old Oak. Shortly after Rowyn's 18th nameday, his father was struck by a terrible wasting sickness, and called Rowyn to his chambers. He begged Rowyn for the gift of mercy, claiming that he did not want his household to see him descend into senility. Rowyn fiercely refused, but after weeks of thought and his father's pleas he came to a decision. Late one night he crept into his fathers chambers and put a painless poison in his wine. The next day, the Lord of Old Oak was dead.
Rodwell's wrath fell upon the maester of Old Oak as the only one with access to poison, and in his guilt Rowyn stepped in and admitted his crime. Rodwell,who blamed Rowyn for stealing their lord fathers favour, seiged his chance for revenge and banished his younger brother, swearing that if he ever returned he would die. Rowyn,angry at his brother's refusal to understand, acceded reluctantly but on leaving he took the remowned Blade of House Oakheart with him to spite the new Lord of Old Oak. Rodwell sent men after him to retrieve it, and Rowyn fled to the capital in the hopes of evading them.
Character Physical Description: Rowyn is just above average height, lithe and slender with auburn hair and gray eyes, which can appear black when he's angry.
Character Reputation: Rowyn was well known in the Reach, but he seeks to hide his idendity from the world, and acts as a hedge knight by the name of Ser Rowyn the Reckless.

Apprentice: Horseriding
Noteworthy: Stealth
Noteworthy: Dual Swords
Expert: Archery
Character Personal History: Gawyn was born the third son of the Lord of Tarth(leaving balnk in case anyone else wants to create him).
He was neither as gallant nor as comely as his other siblings, and as a result he dedicated himself in the training yard, hoping to win the favor of his father. His efforts were in vain, and the Lord of Evenfall lavished all his attention on his other children, ignoring Gawyns sharp mind and even sharper reflexes. While his brothers were taken on as squires to renowned knights, Gawyns training was given over to an old Braavosi who stayed at Tarth because of an unknown service he once did the Lord of Evenfall. Old age had robbed the man of his skills as a water dancer, but he still managed to pass on most of his knowledge of the type of swordplay named water dancing, recognizing the young boy's potential. The old man grew to love Gawyn as the son he had left behind, and on his death, Gawyn left the Sapphire Isle, hoping to go North to the capital, and make his name there.
Character Physical Description: Gawyn, though not as comely as his siblings, is not ugly to look upon either. He is just below average height, with light, blondish hair and the startlingly blue eyes for which the scions of Tarth are known.
Character Reputation: Gawyn was known on Tarth for his temper, the product of his frustrations with his family. His father thinks him childish and impertinent, though Gawyn strives to win his favor nonetheless. Utterly unknown outside Tarth, though he hopes to win a name for himself due to his skill with a bow and the thin, twin swords he carries strapped across his back.
