1) Sarane Stark 2) 26 3) Northerner 4) Mistress Winter 5) Expert: translator Expert: persuasion Apprentice: charm Apprentice: oration Novice: dagger fighting Novice: healing Beginner: bow fighting Beginner: disguises 6) Ser Devor Hornwood, a 29-year-old knight who was a childhood friend 7) She was raised mostly in the North. A brief year of fostering with the Royces proved nearly disastrous and she was quickly sent home. She was trained well to be a lady, intending to be properly married off. She has been betrothed 3 times, but she liked none of them and so she sabotaged her own betrothals. Few suitors dare even try these days, and she has shown no desire to leave Winterfell. 8) Sarane is not beautiful but she is somewhat alluring. She has the brown hair and somewhat long face of the Starks, but a fine bone structure and almost seductive eyes make her more of a beauty and less of a horseface. She is taller than the average maiden, but not remarkably so. 9) Her nickname has been earned by her cool demeanor. She takes very few people close to her heart. She loves her brothers fiercely, and Ser Devor, but other than that she is said to be made of ice. She is viciously efficient and has a core of icy steel. When she wants to be, she can be charming and persuasive, made more acute by the fact that it is unexpected. 10)nora.bailey@gmail.com AIM: noramunchkin ETA: Forgot to mention, she's the oldest sister of Syd and Joffrey. I know she doesn't add much to the Stark family tree, but spinsters tend to have that problem.

1) Character Name: Ser Kerwyn Stark 2) Character Age: 38 (Birth: 467) 3) Character Nationality: The North 4) Character Byname: None 5) Character Skills: Expert - Sword fighting & Horse-riding Apprentice - Leadership & Diplomacy Novice - Battle/Warfare & Persuasion Beginner - Hunting & Survival 6) Character's Second: Daemon Snow, childhood friend who is a messenger of sorts for Kerwyn and the Stark family. Kerwyn turned him around from the thief he used to be. (Age 35, born 470) 7) Character Personal History: Uncle to Lord Syd Stark, Kerwyn Stark is one of the oldest remaining members of the Stark family. Lord Syd’s father had died when a sickness had spread over the lands, making Syd the Lord faster than most others had become. Some say it was the same disease that killed Ser Torly Lannister. If Kerwyn were an ambitious man he could have taken advantage of the time and become Lord himself, but he stuck to honor and the old ways, knowing his brother would want him their to help his son. As a child Kerwyn was the typical boy, he wanted to be a knight when he grew up. Under the tutelage of Ned Cassel, master-at-arms, he learned to fight with a sword. He was also taught things such as stewardship and oration, but he did not care for those as much. He left that to his elder brother, it was he who would be the lord after all. His now deceased father, who lays in the Winterfell Crypts, taught him to follow the Old Gods. He spends a lot of his time in the godswood, much to the chagrin of his wife Jeyne Mormont (age 30, born 475). He has three children; Aden Stark (male, age 9, born 496) and twins Lynette & Howland Stark (age 6, born 499). He has experienced the battle that has come his way, but so far there has been no great war for him to prove himself. Kerwyn doesn’t care as much for gallantry and show, he’s a simple man. 8) Character Physical Description: Kerwyn stands a little taller than the average man, but he is no mountain that rides. He keeps his hair short at the neck with a well kept forked beard that he prides himself on. Over the years he has taken measures to make sure he kept his body in the peak physical condition possible, not thick and stout with muscle, more slender and lithe. It gives him the advantage of speed and strength. 9) Character Reputation: Kerwyn is known for his cool demeanor. Some would brag of their skills and make boasts, but he is no fool. He always helps whoever he can and tries to avoid any conflict unless absolutely necessary. He’s a good father, not just to his children, but any of the children in Winterfell. Kerwyn tries to help wherever he can, and is always prepared for the winter that’s coming. 10) Contact: Tystick357 (yahoo IM, also yahoo e-mail) Hey, no Tully’s on my page . Anything wrong let me know. Also Sarane, you m ight want to go ahead and just mention or make up your parents (probably brother/sister to me) just to make the Stark Genealogy Tree looking more complete. If not, I'm sure Crakehall can make something up off the top of his head. Just wondering where you fit into the tree exactly.

Hope this is alright!
1) Sara Royce
2) 25 (I think, if that's wrong I'm sorry)
3) The Vale
4) None, but if she gets her way that'll change, the sooner the better!
5) E: Archery, E: Persuasion, A: Riding, A: Sword-fighting, N: Charm, N: Intrigue, B: Diplomacy, B: Hunting
6) Martia Stone, best friend
7) Sara is the second child of Lord Alyn Royce and his only daughter. She grew up in relative comfort a the Vale but is desperate to get out into the wider world like her brothers and get some glory for herselfand her family. Her one ambition is to remembered as the woman who was better than any man she met. She was betrothd once but her husband-to-be was killed by bandits and she has been distraught ever since, refusing every other suitor, of which there were lots. Also because of this event, she was very moved by the recent deaths of the small council by bandits.
8) Sara is tall for a woman but slight of build. She has long, brown hair that naturally curls but is normally braided for practicality. She has deep, brown eyes and a warm smile.
9) Sara is well known throughout the Vale for being friendly and charitable. However, everyone knows about her ambitions and she is known to be short-tempered when roused and proud. She is still much loved by her father's bannermen though, especially among the younger men. She will not hesitate to do most anything to get to the top.

1) Ser Steffen Lannister
2) 25
3) Lannisport/reach
4) The Worm
5) Expert Political Intrigue Expert Infiltration
Apprentice: Ambushing Apprentice: Sword fighting
Novice: Persuasion Novice: Horse riding
Beginner: disguises Beginner: Survival
6) Nealon Spear. Appointed champion since birth, as well as close friend and associate.
7) Brother to Ser Zachary Lannister, Ser Steffen is the older son of Randwin Lannister and nephew to Lord Baldwin, Warden of the West. Unlike most boys his age, Steffen did not dream of battle. He dreamt of a throne, and power since the tender age of 11. Although commonly displaying talent at both swordplay and horse riding, Steffen frustrated his father, who was to depart westeros soon after, by showing more interest in maps, listening to tales of kings and dragons and chasing local peasant girls.
As a result, Steffen found himself negelected, and grew closer to his champion Spear, and other lowborn friends. It was among these that Steffen found his love of trickery and falseness. The more he listened to mercenary tales of riches, often coupled with betrayal, the more Steffen questioned the ideas of honour and loyalty he had been weaned on. After his father departed Westoros, Steffen immediately began to ply his trade in lannisport, bribing petty lords, 'taxing' the locals, and building himself a powerbase in the area.
Steffen gained extensive contacts throughout lannisport, slowly building his wealth. He was reported to have gained his knighthood by bribing ser Arthur Marbrand at the age of 17, although like many things concerning the worm it was never proved. It was during this time that he began to being reffered to as 'the worm' as opposed to the lion, due to his apparent desire for talking, or 'avoidance of battle', and his particularly oily charm used when talking to superiors. To the horror of family members, Steffen took the title on, adding a sigil of a worm next to the golden lion of lannister.
At the battle of the Golden tooth he was responsible for ambushing the rear of the enemy, although it is rumoured that Steffen himself stayed out of the battle, having a loyal sword arm wear his arms while he 'entertained' the daughter of a local petty lord. At the age of 22, he was expelled by lord Baldwin, only for him to ply his trade of treachory in the reach. Although it has never been proved, Steffen was rumoured to lead a group of mercenaries there, ambushing trade wagons and even attacking the odd village. After 2 long years of absence, he returned to lannisport assuming a position of power in the city, much to the dismay of local residents, and to his younger brother ser Zachary.
8) At just above average height, and of slim build, Steffen bears a bald head, blue eyes, thick eyebrows and high cheekbones. Steffen is famed for dressing less than spectacularly, preffering simpler clothes than most members of the lannister house. Clean-shaven, Steffen bears a childhood scar on his leg from falling on a sword.
On the battlefield, he is openly seen sporting his own brown cloak of the worm and lion. His weapon of choice, the sword, is seen on the right side of his belt, as befits one left-handed. Although he has been accused of being craven, most of his associates would claim him to simply prefer some forms of warfare over others. He would rather stab a man in his sleep than fight him in a duel.
9) Ser Steffen's reputation is that of an oily noble who can appear honourable, but to those who know him well it is evident that his loyalties are always to himself. Skilled with long swords, he can be effective and brutal in melees when his back is to the wall. He sees tourneys and archery as foolish past times, however, and generally stays away.
His manipulativeness and greed is on the 'cersei' scale of things, and he has often expressed disappointment in his brother's honourable nature. Although his own nature has made him a 'true' lannister, he has not earned many friends amongst his family, with his loyalties often questioned. Steffen, in turn mistrusts his family entirely, and sees his name only as a vehicle to power.
He gained his less than honourable reputation after beating a young whore to death in public, after she 'insulted' him. (It is believed that she claimed he had not paid)

^Whoa, nice job with Steffen there. It's strange; you made him, for the most part, exactly like I imagined him to be even though I've hardly said anything about him. One thing though: It was out father who left Westeros, not me.

1) Ser Maurin Lannister
2) Character Age:30
3) Character Nationality: Westlands (Lanisport)
4) Character Byname: (The) Cat's Claw
5) Character Skills: Expert: Sword Fighting Dirty Fighting Apprentice: Seduction Dagger Fighting Novice: Infiltration Negotiation Beginner: Translation Horse Riding
6) Character's Second: Lyle Doggett, One of the 'Troublesome Trio'
7) Character Personal History: Maurin Lanister is the first-born son of Osgood Lannister, younger brother of Trahel Lannister, and Sirela Doggett Lannister. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Maurin was coddled for the first 6 years of his life by his mother's constant attention. Unfortunately, life has a way of changing for the best or worse at times, and his mother Sirela passed away during child-birth with his younger sister, Selena.
Osgood Lannister was devastated by the loss of his wife, an arranged marriage that had grown into a deep and lasting love. Maurin, devastated by the loss of his beloved mother, overheard his father screaming at his new-born sister and he would never forget eight of those words-"I will make you regret killing your mother". Without thought for his own safety, Maurin dashed into his mother's deathbed and covered his sister's body with his own. Osgood severely beat Maurin that day, leaving lasting marks on his back from Osgood's strap. From that point forward, Maurin protected his younger sister, causing trouble to take the focus from his sister or intercepting his father during his tirades.
As a young man constantly beaten, he took to swords and competition to grow stronger. He befriended two young boys, Piers Bettley and Lyle Doggett and spent a good amount of time getting into trouble with them. His father, seeing his son's progress, thought best to enter him in a tournament hosted by the Starks. Wary of leaving his sister alone, he asked his best friends to keep an eye on her.
Cunning and driven to prove his prowess, he took his first two jousts with perfect passes. Before his next match, he seduced a young woman he thought to be a commoner and missed the remainder of his jousting while otherwise engaged. He placed well in the melee competition, but his thirst for reputation within tournament ranks was slaked by his new-found passion for women.
Upon returning home, he was happy to find his sister and two friends had survived without him, his father having been called off to Casterly Rock. It turns out his first foray into love, turned out to have a more permanent lock on his life as later that year he was forced to marry Yvonne Stark, daughter of Rynwulf (younger brother of Tarwin and Kerwin Stark). He had his first child a few months later, Phelan Lannister.
A few years later, his father met an untimely and unfortunate accident out hunting. Fortunately his second son, Marten, appeared later that same year and he made his first adult appearance at Casterly Rock with his two friends and his family. He has made more and more frequent journey's to Casterly Rock since this, spending time with Lyle and Piers, who have both taken up positions there. He currently has 4 children, Phelan (13), Marten (10), Yvonne (8), and Maurin (5).
8) Maurin is of average height and in excellent shape. His shoulder length, straight golden hair is well groomed except for a few strands that tend to fall in front of his eyes at times. He tends to dip his eyes and brush the hair away, looking up from beneath heavily-lidded light blue eyes causing women's hearts to flutter. He face is perfectly proportioned and is hard for women and some men to forget. He maintains a clean-shaven appearance.
9) Character Reputation: Maurin is known as a constant trouble-maker and seducer. The 'Troublesome Trio' of Maurin, Piers, and Lyle have a regular table at many of the taverns in the Lannister lands and enjoy a modest night-life.

Characters accepted, but Kerwin must be Rynwulf's older brother for it to work out realistically.
