1) Character Name: Lord Rhodri Arryn (nee Ser Rhodri Royce)
2) Character Born: 488
3) Character Nationality: The Vale
4) Character Byname: Formerly the Redspear, Ruddy Rhodri (when he’s in his cups), or the Redroyce; now called the Lord Falconer.
5) Skills updated below.
6) Character's Second: Yohn Weirwood, his son by Becca Dondarrion.
7) Character Personal History: Rhodri was born the second son of Lord Alyn Royce. As a young man, he was proud of his First Man heritage and worshiped both the Old Gods and the Seven, though events in his life have changed that. He departed the Vale for King's Landing as a young knight at seventeen, and having proven himself, the Lord Hand Michael Dondarrion named him Captain of his guard, and helped arrange his marriage to Becca Dondarrion, his eldest sister.
Shortly thereafter and under the leadership of Rhodri's brother Lord Breyn Royce, House Royce declared for Dondarrion and Targaryen in the War of Dragon and Stag. Rhodri joined the Songlord and Kit Kidwell in a campaign in the Reach, helping conquer Horn Hill and securing the surrender of Highgarden.
Ser Rhodri then led a great cavalry charge at the conclusive Battle of Casterly Rock. As a reward for his services, he was awarded Lordship of Mistfall on Cape Wrath and Castellan of Storm's End. He would eventually be made Lord of Storm's End, where he ruled for six years. Becca bore him two children in the Stormlands, Yohn, in 505, and daughter Saella, in 507.
After a great tourney at Casterly Rock, Rhodri was called away to war at the Wall against a wildling horde. He would not return to Storm's End for many years. After the battle at the Wall, new war broke out between the Targaryen Princes. Lord Breyn was killed at King's Landing as Rhodri was returning, making Rhodri lord of the Vale. However, Rhodri quit King's Landing rather than declare for his good-brother Michael Dondarrion. Still grieving for Breyn, he abandoned hope in the Seven and asked the Old Gods for guidance.
He went to Callen Baratheon to accept penance for his crimes against House Baratheon. Callen severed Rhodri's offhand and declared Rhodri Royce dead, and raised him as Rhodri Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie. After Callen claimed the rubble of King's Landing, he named Rhodri Arryn his Hand.
During this time in King's Landing Becca bore Rhodri a second son, named Breyn for his uncle. Lord Rhodri went to war again to pacify the Riverlands and force the Westerlands to submit to King Callen. He defended King's Landing while Callen reconquered the North. After the internal wars were settled, he resigned as Hand to return to the Vale. Before he could leave King's Landing, his wife Becca Arryn was abruptly murdered in the street, leaving him a widower.
8) Character Physical Description: The Redspear had been so named for both his preferred weapon and his own stature, tall and ginger haired, lean but strong. His fair skin turns red when he is in his cups, and thus he is called Ruddy Rhodri. His left hand is gone, leaving only a stump. He wears plane steel plate, the only adornment a pair of feathered falcon wings rising from his helm.
9) Character Reputation: Ser Rhodri is well regarded for his horsemanship and camaraderie with soldiers. He spent much of his youth riding against the Clans in the Mountains of the Moon, but as a man developed a reputation as an honorable conciliator. He is amongst the most famous men in Westeros.

Grandmaster: Healing Master: Negotiation Expert – Persuasion Expert – Horseback Riding Expert – Political Intrigue Apprentice - Deception Novice – Charm Novice - Ravenry and Hawking
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, It was around this time that Aranya developed her lifelong affinity for the mountain clans, much to Elane’s disapproval. In their early teens, Aranya and Selwyn became casual lovers, although they each took many others as well. 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 fought in many battles, including the famous Battle of Casterly Rock 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.
When Callen and Aranya returned, she 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. During a mission together Selwyn and Aranya rekindled their romance, and Callen legitimized them. They later married and had a child, Brynden, and were given Duskendale as their seat. Around this time, Aranya also realized she had latent warging abilities and began to train.
After Selwyn died at the Battle of Great Tette, Aranya gave birth to his daughter Selyse and has now taken her seat as the Lady of Duskendale.
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 was the one left to regret her mistakes, because she didn't care. Despite that, she is known to be fiercely loyal to her husband and her family. She is becoming known to a few as a skinchanger as well, which has made her only more dangerous on the battlefield.

7) A cousin to the Lord Lyas Bolton. He was born and raised by his father Rymer Bolton (younger brother to Terant and adviser until his death) at the Dreadfort. At an early age he recognized that he was not cut out to be a part of court and found no interest in all the knowledge that Rymer had gained in his life. Instead he found himself enthralled by the teachings of Diers Snow the master at arms of the Dreadfort. Daily he would train with Snow and hone his battle prowess both physically and mentally with books on the art of warfare of the Dreadfort's library. Being scoffed at as a fool by his father and several other relatives only enforced his will to train. After his father's death Morax left the Dreadfort and struck out with a band of sellswords accross the Narrow Sea led by Burke. Over the next several years Morax tested his skills on the battlefield and after rising to the top of the Black Twilight's through his strategic prowess felt that it was time to return to his home as it had finally reached him that Westeros was falling apart.

9)He was generally well liked amongst the rabble of Dreadfort and his cousin when he was younger. However he made a name for himself in the Free Cities and he was not so well known that his reputation of tactical skill and ruthlessness got carried to Westeros.

He has a younger brother who he has always been better than, and Janus has always been in Auron's shadow. Auron's Uncle is the Lord of Starfall. Auron's father died in a horrible accident, when he was walking along a path near Starfall a storm came in and Lightning struck him, and because he was wearing his sword he died quickly. Auron was 15 when this happened, and quickly began intense training. After several years of training, Auron was knighted at the age of 17, after he saved his brother who had been kidnapped. Auron has since traveled about with his brother Janus, looking for fame and fortune. The wars have left Auron unaffected physically, but he is unsure on which houses of the Six Kingdoms to trust. He fully accepts and believes in Princess Emelia Martell's choice to leave the Six Kingdoms, and believes preserving Dorne is the only thing worth fighting for. Auron wants to one day become Sword of the morning, wielder of Dawn. He also wants to become Lord of Starfall, and a General in the service of Dorne and Princess Emelia. But, until then he will travel, slowly gaining fame and fortune until he is worthy of those titles.

Reputation: Ser Auron Dayne is well known throughtout the western coast of Dorne, for he has done many deeds around Starfall. Auron is known through out all of Dorne, but not much is known about his deeds outside of Starfall. All that is known is he is a magnificient great sword fighter, and has much potential for his young age.

Character Name: Callen Baratheon
Age: 28
Byname: The Storm King, the Laughing Storm, the Stag
Nationality: Stormlands
Character Skills:
Grandmaster: Warfare Master: Ambushing Expert: Sword fighting, Charisma Apprentice: Flute, Statesmanship Novice: Scouting, foreign languages, higher mysteries Beginner: stewardship, business, horse riding
Callen's second Edmure Seaworth:
master: Sailing/Seamanship expert: none apprentice: naval warfare, stealth novice: foreign languages, axe fighting beginner: knife fighting, persuasion
History: Callen was born to Rodrick Baratheon and Elyssandra Velaryon. He was fostered in Riverrun where he learned the art of warfare and strategy. He is noted for the defeat of several outlaws.
Callen was married in secret to the then eleven Bethany Tyrell whe Callen was but 18. When his father was killed Callen had the marriage annuled and then moved on Casterly Rock. Although he victory was beginning to swing in his favour he was defeated by the arrival of Aegon Targaryen and his dragon. Taken in chains to King's Landing he was imprisoned for a number of months, but when Prince Maerys tried to kill him in a fit of rage he jumped from his tower cell into the Blackwater Bay.
When he washed up on shore he was healed by Lilith Royce, and protected by Aranya Royce, then Aranya Stone. He began his exile, first sailing to Braavos, and then as a member of Edmure Seaworth's smuggling crew. In the subsequent years he fought as a sellsword, worked as a smuggler, and saw all the wonders of the east.
Upon his return to Westeros Callen first made for Summerhall, which he had rebuilt (Callen is noted for his love for architecture). There he met Hodrick Royce, his mentor, who helped him regain his power. During the siege of King's Landing Callen revealed his presence and the Reach rose for him. After Rhodri Royce surrendered himself into the King's hands Callen took the Vale lord into his service.
Callen quickly rebuilt King's Landing, improving on the old version. Although he married Bethany once again, after falling in love with her, she was killed by wildlings while travelling to the Vale. He then married Anya Stark, with whom his relationship is shaky at best.
Then their were rebellions, wars, etc etc.
Physical Description: Callen has inherited the build of his mother's house rather than his father. He does have the deep blue eyes and black hair of the Baratheons, but his Valyrian heritage has caused silver to dust his temples. He still has a young look, but his body is scarred from all his experiences in the east, as well as a large burn from the Battle of Casterly Rock. There is also one given to him by a particularly feisty wildling girl, but he's in no mind to show you that one.

Guess who this is?
1) Character Name: Rhaegar Targaryen
2) Character Age: 26
3) Character Nationality (Stormlands, The Reach, etc): Valyria
4) Character Byname: None
5) Character Skills (Choose 2 beginner skills, 2 novice skills, 2 apprentice skills, and 2 noteworthy skills and 1 expert skill):
Expert: Sword Noteworthy: Dragon riding, History Apprentice: Statesmanship, Battle Novice: Charisma, Statesmanship Begginer: The Higher Mysteries, Parenting
6) Aellion Targaryen, Rhaegar's sister and wife:
Noteworthy: Archery, Dragon riding Apprentice: High Harp, Finances Novice: Charisma, Statesmanship Begginner: Signing, Lore
7) Character Personal History:
The first and only son of Maerys Targaryen, Rhaegar learned from an early age what it is to be a parent. Though his two sisters were of the same age as him he quickly grew to care for him. His father had lost his wife at an early age, which resulted in a troubled mind, a mind unable to properly see to the needs of his children.
Rhaegar preferred books to war, but he did learn the art of fighting, which all boys of noble birth must. He had enjoyed his stay in Braavos, where his family had lived for hundreds of years. When his family reached Westeros he stayed behind while his cousins rode to Casterly Rock. He set about making changes to the order of government, but when his family returned he also returned to obscurity. He and his sisters were shunned, pariahs not of choice, but because of the stigma surrounding their father.
The only one he could turn to was the desposed Callen Baratheon, who in effect was also a pariah at the time. Though there was distrust between the two, they did come to respect one an other. Perhaps this is why, when the Storm King returned to the Iron Throne years later, he sent Rhaegar and his sisters into hiding rather than have them executed.
Currently Rhaegar and his sisters are in an unknown location, guarded by Horas Blackwood's men. All three know how to ride a dragon, having been taught by their uncle, who had a soft spot for them.
=====================
The older of Rhaegar's sisters, Aellion is apt to dress as a warrior, with her hair in braided coils or bound in rings, and wields a bow. She is a passionate, temperamental woman. She has an eye for numbers, and is a very accomplished financer. It was with her help that the Targaryen wealth grew in Braavos.
Her sister Rhaeyns is the more feminine of the the two. She wear's her hair loose. Rhaeyns is the flirt, Aellion the seductress. Small breasted and with a pretty face, her sister vuloptuous. Both sisters love their husband and brother, and in their own way compete for him.
8) Character Physical Description: Rhaegar looks very much like the Rhaegar Targaryen of old. With almost the god like beauty attributed to him from his Valyrian heritage.
9) Character Reputation: A quiet man, but with the ability to attract the devotion of others. He prefers books to war, but will not shrink away from conflict. Somewhat stigmatized due to his father. Rhaegar calls himself a prince, in the hope that some of his cousins have survived.

Character Name: Emelia Nymeros Martell
Character Age: 34, born 482
Nationality: Dornish/Valyrian
Byname: "The Silver Princess"
Skills: Grandmaster Insight Grandmaster Manipulation Grandmaster Rulership Master Magic Noteworthy "Needlepoint" (may or may not be Royce-style) Apprentice Medicine&Poison Lore Apprentice Seduction&Sex
Second: Her daughter, Nymeria Targaryen Noteworthy: Swordsmanship Noteworthy: Statesmanship Apprentice: Battle Apprentice: Horsemanship Novice: Archery Novice: Charm Beginner: Skinchanging Beginner: Lance
Character History: Emelia Sand came out of absolutely nowhere. Paidain Martell's supposed bastard daughter, she was raised in extreme obscurity, though she has since let it be known that her mother was a Targaryen of some stripe. She was legitimated in 501 AC and elevated over her half-brother and sisters, and five years later succeeded to the throne of Dorne after her father's death in a riding accident.
The first month of her reign was tumultuous. With Dorne already wracked by the Dragon-and-Stag civil war, many of Dorne's nobles, led by the cantankerous Lord Wyl, at first suggested that she was not even Paidain's daughter, merely an opportunist. She quickly put that, and the entire civil war, to rest by a cunning stratagem of reasserting Dorne's ancient independence, then holding it against the Dragon Kings until peace was restored and Rhana Martell married to the young King Aemon's brother. She promptly bedded her sister's husband, producing a child: Nymeria Nymeros Targaryen. Emelia continued to enjoy good relations with the Targaryens until the next war.
In the War of Three Kings, Emelia Martell stayed virtually out of the conflict until it ended, then drew taut an alliance with the Riverlands and forced the victorious King to accept her independence. Callen was much less friendly with Emelia, and they spent years alternately struggling against each other and standing fast as allies before finally developing a firm alliance that betrothed Nymeria to the royal heir.
With Callen dead, Emelia attempted, but failed, to take the regency for King Rickon. She has not publically chosen which side she will support; it is known that she is corresponding with both sides.
Character Description: Emelia has grown more beautiful, not less, as she has aged. Her hair is the silver-blonde of the Targaryens, either bound up with needles or brushed down to her mid-back, framing an almost smooth face that betrays only a few of the lines her age might give her. Her eyes are a deep blue, and whenever they look into a person's eyes it seems like Emelia is reading their minds (that may just be a consequence of her reputation, though). Her skin also appears to have finally developed a bit of a tan over the years.
Reputation: Emelia Martell has been the subject of nearly as many rumors as King Callen. She is extremely popular in Dorne, though the opinions of the rest of Westeros are much more mixed; she is known to deliberately overturn social conventions simply because she can. She makes no secret that she is a lover of women, and that she has taken more lovers than Queen Anya ever did; it is widely rumored that she also takes her pleasures with her pet snake.
Sexual adventures aside, Emelia is best-known for her extreme luck and incredible intellect and insight. It is known that she can read the lies off someone's face, and even look into people's minds and find their darkest secrets; she is also known for her incredible tendency to have events unfold exactly in the way she would want them. Whether this is simple luck, or whether she makes her own luck, she does not say.

7) Character Personal History:
Kit Kidwell was born the fourth child of Ser Alwys Kidwell, younger brother of Lord Gabriel Kidwell. When Kit was born, House Kidwell was just that--a house with little lands and perhaps a dozen retainers. With time, however, the house grew and Kit was sent to foster with Lord Sylas Caron- where he was to receive a military education. Kit fell for Lord Caron's daughter, and though his infatuation for her was short-lived, they carried a great friendship which in turn created a stronger bond between Sylas and Kit. The Songlord's daughter married early and died in childbirth...this shattered Kit, who's platonic love for the Songlord's daughter led to a dramatic change in character. He became extremely devoted to swordplay and technique, and devoted all his time to it.
He became even more shy and reclusive than he used to be, but despite this he enterred a tourney in honor of the Songlord's daughter. In this tourney he bested Lord Osgrey in the melee, whereupon Kit was knighted immediately.
He has fought and killed many individuals, including two Kings, two Kingsguardsmen, his uncle, and dozens others. Before he went into hiding he had only a small number of friends: Sylas Caron, "Black" Ben Tollett, Ager Gaunt, and Rhodri Royce. The things that matter most to him now are his wife Rhae, and his two children. His love for and from Rhae is the driving force in his life.
For the past three years, Kit has disguised himself as a knight named Ser Junas Rhysling and taken refuge in Myr as a farmer. Locally he prospered as a farmer and weapons trainer.
Kit has also been busy raising his young family over the past few years. His young son is named Gabriel (after the uncle he regretfully slew), and his daughter is named Hara.
Kit's protegee in Myr for the past two years has been Damien Vance, the third son of Lord Vance of Wayfarer's Rest- a youth who at 18 sought shelter far away from his abusive drunkard of a father.
8) Character Physical Description:
Kit is short of 6 feet by a couple inches or so. His face and appearance were never too important but he could be considered attractive by some standards. In the years since he has been in hiding his has hair grown considerably. It now falls several inches past his shoulders and he occasionally wears it in a tail.
9) Character Reputation:
Being a kingslayer and kinslayer, Ser Kit was regarded as the most notorious knight in the realm. Despite his reasonings, people hold their own opinions (generally viewing him as a horrible man) and are often quick to make judgments of his character.
Regardless of this, Ser Kit is regarded as the greatest swordsman in the realm and owns 'Dark Sister', the Valyrian steel sword which he took from a treasury chest in King's Landing.
After Kit met his wife, Rhae, rumours grew that he was a changed man. He started to become a sort of recluse and kept himself out of the public's eye most of the time.
