Alright, here's my shot at a character. Let me know if I messed anything up.
Name: Horas Tyrell
Age: 28
Nationality: The Reach
Byname: Nothing widely used as yet, but the commoners mutter and call him 'The Sorceror' behind his back.
Skills:
Expert Poisions Expert Healing
Apprentice Courtesy Apprentice Study of Mysteries
Novice Languages Novice Intrigue
Beginner Negotiation Beginner Riding
Second:
Personal History: As a boy, Horas Tyrell was a meek and mild-mannered child who preferred a good book to a sturdy lance. As the third trueborn son of Randyll Tyrell, he stood to inherit little, and his father found it unlikely that he would distinguish himself with the sword. And so at a very young age Horas was sent off to Oldtown to begin his training as a Maester.
Here Horas distinguished himself; he was quick-witted and studious, and rose rapidly. Maester Mors remarked that never in his fifty-eight years at the Citadel had a novice earned his silver link so quickly. But Horace had habits that irritated his instructors as well. The second link on his chain was made of Valyrian steel, for the study of magic and mysteries, a subject frowned upon by most Maesters. Horas never neglected his other studies, but became increasingly obsessed with the study of magic. And then, one day, Horas was gone, leaving only his partially forged chain and a brief note on his bed:
Thank you for the opportunities at the Citadel. Heading east to further my education. Will keep in touch and be back soon.
Keeping in touch proved to be an infrequent, brief letter once every few months or few years. And “soon” meant fifteen years. Horas has recently returned to Westeros to find it a very different place. He is currently heading to Highgarden to greet his family.
Physical Description: Horas is a short, slim man with light brown hair and pale blue eyes. His features are modest and friendly. There are no callouses on his sword hand, but there are an array of strange burns and small scars. Horas prides himself on keeping a cool head, and his face is often a mask of courtesy. Long ago he decided that the Tyrell colors were too extravagant for his tastes, and so his banner displays a grey rose on a green field.
Horas would almost be forgettable if not for the highly noticeable eccentricities he picked up in the East. For one thing, his lips are stained permanently blue. It is also rumored that his shoulders and back are covered with tattoos, but this is difficult to confirm.
Reputation: Horas more or less fell off the map of Westerosi nobility for fifteen years. Now that he has returned, however, he has caused quite a splash. No one seems quite sure where Horas Tyrell spent the last fifteen years or what he was doing, so rumors fly. He was in Ibben, Yi Ti, Braavos, Asshai. He can summon demons from the seven hells and turn men into toads with a word. Tyrell does his best to discourage these rumors, but his efforts seem to only have encouraged them.

i really think you should be a stark, martell or lannister, as the tyrells and royces are very overcrowded

Whoops, totally forgot my second.
Second: Rhogo, a Dothraki savage. Wears an arakh on each hip; it is said he is deadly with them. It is whispered that Rhogo owes a great debt to Horas. When not enjoying the fine Westerosi wine, Rhogo acts as Horas' bodyguard and messenger.

I thought the thread with the family trees said House Stark was closed. If they aren't, I'll be a Stark. If they are, I'll be a Lannister.

I would recommend a Lannister at this time, but everything else was great!
(Please register though).

1) Character Name: Eva Lannister 2) Character Age: 21
3) Character Nationality (Stormlands, The Reach, etc): Westerlands
4) Character Byname: None, as yet
5) Character Skills (Choose 2 beginner skills, 2 novice skills, 2 apprentice skills, and 2 expert skills): B - Archery B - Languages (Valyrian) N - Courtesy N - Riding A - Intrigue A - Healing E - Seduction E - Charm
6) Character's Second (you roleplay through this character to speak on behalf of your main, when they are not able to attend): Gracia Flowers, her mother's bastard daughter, currently in King's Landing
7) Character Personal History: A distant cousin of Lord Baldwin, Eva lived in Lannisport with her mother for many years after her father's death when she was only 7. At 15 she travelled to Dorne with her sister and lived there for 2 years until moving on to King's Landing, where she lived until the last year. While she was there the news of her mother's death reached her and she returned to Lannisport to live with her family at Casterly Rock.
8) Character Physical Description: Eva has the long golden curls and sparkling green eyes of a Lannister. She is tall and slim, very athletic.
9) Character Reputation: Eva has a reputation amongst the Lannisport men for being a bit of a slut, but she does know when to stop. She has absolutely no qualms, in general, about using men to get what she wants and can cajole information out of almost anyone pretty quickly. She is known as being a little bit dangerous and hot-tempered but she doesn't tend to show that side of herself to the public. Some people think she is not much better than a jumped-up backwater girl as her relation to the current Lord Lannister is relatively distant, however she is determined to prove that she is definitely worthy of being part of the family.
Hope this is OK!!

Character accepted, but I would like two Blackwood's (atleast) until I allow other Houses to be picked.

Alright, I've registered. I'm a Lannister man. History should be pretty much the same, personal colors are crimson and grey now. I'm not quite sure how I fit into the family tree here, so I suppose I'll just be a cousin or something.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'll just be a Blackwood

Welcome about Eva & Horas. Don't worry too much about which House you are - you can always betray your nearest and dearest and blame amnesia
