Welcome, Barrett! It's a safe bet you are with the army from the Reach marching up the Sea Road, unless you want to be in King's Landing (more people to talk to there).
If you get confused by the NPC characters controlled by PCs, check the NPC thread where they are identified.
The boy Yohn, for instance, is the son of my principle character.

1) Character Name: Aranya Royce
2) Character Age: 25
3) Character Nationality: The Vale
4) Character Byname: The Wildling, the Bastard of the Bloody Gate
5) Character Skills:
Master: Swordsmanship Expert: Archery/Other Combat Noteworthy: Warging/Greensight Noteworthy: Stealth Apprentice: Political Intrigue Apprentice: Deception Beginner: Being a wife and mother. Beginner: Healing
6) Character's Second: Elane Royce is Aranya’s older sister, and the firstborn child of Edwyn Royce, who is the second younger brother of Lord Alyn Royce. Elane is relatively plain and calm, a famed negotiator, healer and schemer. She is now the Second Naemyr in the court of the Sealord of Braavos.
7) Character Personal History (watch out, this is long):
Aranya Stone is a bastard daughter of Edwyn Royce by Lady Alyssa Hunter, conceived while Edwyn was visiting Longbow Hall. Ser Edwyn disappeared east, and never learned of Aranya’s birth. Her grandfather, the Lord Hunter, was enraged and sent Aranya to be fostered at the Bloody Gate as soon as she was weaned off Lady Alyssa’s breast. Thereafter, Aranya saw her mother only rarely, and in clandestine meetings, until her grandfather died when Aranya was fifteen.
At the Bloody Gate, Aranya grew up in a hard, masculine environment. The Knight of the Gate was Ser Raymund Corbray, a fierce and often brutal man, as well as a skilled fighter, which was why he had been awarded the position. He took over from the Gate’s master-at-arms when he saw the potential in the young girl, and personally saw to much of her training. In the Bloody Gate, with no women to school her but a frail septa, Aranya ran wild. Her sister Elane often visited, and despite their differences the girls became close confidantes.
Selwyn Stone, Lord Alyn’s son by a Baelish woman, was exiled from Runestone to the Bloody Gate when he was ten, and lived there alongside Aranya. He was as adventurous as she was, and soon the two began planning wild plots and excursions together, delighting in their mischief. Aranya would often take her pony and ride out into the mountains, laughing mockingly at the men-at-arms who tried to stop her. She would only ever allow Selwyn to keep up on her rangings from the Bloody Gate. And when she was twelve, she went on a ranging into the Mountains and didn’t come back for five months.
Search parties didn’t find her. After five months, Aranya rode back to the Gate, wearing a necklace of human ears. She had used bones to put up her hair, and wore the rough, sparse clothing of a wildling woman. After that, she took to the clans like a fish to water, and soon Selwyn was doing the same. Elane disapproved, but Aranya only laughed, and nicknamed her “Septa Elane."
When Selwyn’s half brother Rhodri was fourteen, his father named him a scout and directed him to war against certain clans, using the Gate as his base. Aranya would take the two brothers, and Rhodri’s sister Sara, out on secret excursions into the wild mountains.
When she was thirteen, she pulled a young Milk Snake into his tent, pushed him down on the floor, and made him take her maidenhead. He did not protest. When they were fourteen, Selwyn pulled her against him and kissed her. After that, they became casual lovers, and warmed their beds with other people when they were away from each other.
Aranya often joined Rhodri's skirmishes against wildling clans. Peacemaking would inevitably turn into a fight, with Aranya eager for blood. Ser Raymund learned to rely on Selwyn to try and 'tame' Aranya when he could.
Aranya accompanied Lord Breyn’s host to Casterly Rock, in the War of the Dragon and Stag when she was seventeen years old. After the Targaryens won the war, Aranya traveled back to King’s Landing, where she bedded down with Selwyn in the Tower of the Hand, until she found Callen dying and impulsively decided to protect him. With the help of the Ribbon Crone, Aranya smuggled Callen out of Westeros.
Over the next few years when they were exiles on the ship of Captain Edmure Seaworth, they traveled all over the world, and became lovers and loyal friends. Aranya absorbed the foreign worlds and cultures eagerly. She learned different martial arts, bedded men of every race, and learned many languages. She fought in wars for gold, as a sellsword does, for fighting foreign battles was exciting. She missed her sister Elane and home, but she hardened herself to her exile.
Then Callen and Aranya landed in Dorne four years after they left King’s Landing, and Aranya learned, to her misery, that her mother Lady Alyssa had died from grief at her disappearance. At Summerhall Aranya was reunited with her great-uncle Hodrick Royce – and a certain Captain Skag Snow, a cold, hard man with icy blue eyes and a curt manner. When she recognized him as Selwyn, a tension built between them, especially after Skag Snow confessed his love for her. She brushed him off, but things began to sour between her and Callen. An unexpected reunion with her kin in the capital – and grief at Breyn’s death - resulted in Selwyn and Aranya going on a mission. During that mission they rekindled their romance, and Callen legitimized them. They later married and had a child, and were given Duskendale as their seat. Around this time, Aranya also realized she had latent warging abilities and began to train.
8) Character Physical Description: Aranya is very tall, with a lithe and graceful figure. Her dark hair is long and usually either unbound or in a high braid. Her eyes are large, dark and fierce, and her smile is often wicked and mocking. While she is not a conventional beauty, many have found her extremely attractive.
9) Character Reputation: Aranya is known to be a fierce and extremely dangerous fighter, a savage and often cruel adversary. She is sometimes malicious and is known to be wild and impulsive – it’s said that Selwyn is the one left to regret her mistakes, because she doesn’t care. She is becoming known to a few as a warg as well, which has made her only more dangerous on the battlefield.

Indeed. By the way, your sig needs a / in the last italics thingie to work.
ETA: Unlike certain boardmembers who just laugh at a mistake in the sig, I'm polite enough to mention it.
