7) Character Personal History:
Owen Lannister was born the first son of Lord Tyberion Lannnister and Lady Annelise Corbray, who died in childbirth when he was but one year old. As a child, Owen was quiet and shy, with a distrusting nature. He was very close to his two full siblings, Aranya and Tywin as a child, and remains so to this day, though he cares little for his natural born and half siblings (who are extremely numerous) with the exception of his bastard brother Ser Perry Hill and his half sister Jeyne Lannister, who he is very close to.
Though he disapproves of his father’s infidelity, and dislikes many of his half siblings and step-mothers, he remains a loyal follower of his father, and maintains a amicable relationship with Lord Tyberion. Based upon his father’s many bastard children, Owen decided as soon as he understood such things, that he would never father a bastard.
Owen was a slight boy in his youth, which was disconcerting to him, for he dreamed of one day becoming a great knight. At the recommendation of one of his father’s guards, he began to wear a full length mail shirt day and night when he was eleven years old. For nearly two years, he was never seen without his mail, much to his father’s new wife’s irritation. Whether just though the natural progression of his body or with help from his burdensome choice of a garment, by age 13 Owen had begun to fill out with strong lean muscle. What is clear, however, is that by his constant wearing of mail he earned himself a byname, which is widely known and used, the Silver Lion. He was gifted a beautiful suit of finely crafted gold armor, with heavy and intricate silver inlays in vine-like patterns by his father after he was knighted, which make the name a bit archaic, though it is still heavily used.
Owen possesses a great deal of drive when he has set his mind to a purpose, and as such, he worked harder and more frequently in the training yard than anyone else he knew. This resulted in him gaining a great deal of technical skill at arms, his footwork and coordination seeming near limitless. It wasn’t until the west was declared rebellious by Thadeus Thatcher that he was able to truly test himself. He fought in a number of battles against the Riverlander’s campaign, and by his valiant performances was able to earn his knighthood a fortnight past his 15th name day.
Later, he joined the Targaryen forces as they marched north to battle the Others. He was lucky enough to survive the encounter, and now looks forward to returning to Casterly Rock and finding a girl to make his wife. His wide interests are not limited to those of a marital nature, as he also enjoys playing the harp and dabbles in bits of poetry and singing. He enjoys hunting boar and deer and also does a bit of hawking. He also has an appreciation of history, and is a very amateur historian.
8) Character Physical Description:
Ser Owen is tall, though not overly so standing around six foot two, with wide shoulders and a lean muscled frame. His hair is a rich, dark gold falling in waves about his shoulders, which contrasts with his dark brow and dark eyes to give him a ruggedly handsome look. His face is angular, though not harsh, and he usually smiles, though he is not a giddy person. He is missing the pinkie on his left hand, cutoff by a sellswords dagger in battle against the armies of the Riverlands when he was still but a squire.
9) Character Reputation: Owen is known as a formidable warrior, and is widely respected. He has a great many loyal friends, though he is known to keep his thoughts mostly to himself. He is known to be a hard worker and serious young man, and is considered a devout follower of the faith.
10) Followers: (See description under board)
Ser Dylan Farman: Ser Dylan was born in 337, the third son of the Lord of Faircastle, and as such, he devoted himself nearly entirely to martial endeavors. He fights with a two handed axe, delivering brutal cutting power, so much so that some say he must be part Iron Born. He stands a shade under 6 feet, though he is built like an ale keg, with a great powerful chest, and arms and legs like tree trunks. He is haughty and eager to fight, and nearly as eager to beat a woman with his fists as he is to lop of a head with his axe. As such, he has a great many enemies amoungst the nobleman of Westeros, though he is devoted to his brother, the Lord of Faircastle, as well as to his overlord, Lord Tyberion. Rumors about him are abundant, mostly concerning which pretty young lass he has raped or murdered of late, though some of them are surely fabrications.
Ser Ambry Hill: A twenty year old bastard of a distant Lannister cousin, Ambry fights with longsword and buckler. He is quiet and reserved, in fact, little is known of him.
Ser Liam Crakehall: Ser Liam is the second cousin to the Lord of Crakehall, and though old (born in 324) is still a formidable fighter, and an even better tactician. Known to be a leading advisor and mentor to the young Owen Lannister, Liam is well respected throughout the west. He is missing his left ear, though the empty space is normally covered by his salt and pepper hair, though he refuses to tell the tale of how it happened.
Alyn Hill: Alyn Hill is the illegitimate son of a Lannister cousin, the result of his mother being raped by bandits while traveling. Lord Tyberion considers him a slight to the honor of his house, and refuses to look upon the man, nor grant him the knighthood that most would argue he deserves. Despite all that, Alyn is well respected as the finest scout in the West, and is famous for brutally torturing any enemy he might happen to catch, most always learning valuable information in the process. There is little to respect about the man himself, though his talents are all too obvious.
Ser Jason Coolhearth: Ser Jason was born the legitimate son of a lowborn farmer in 341, and grew up working in his father’s fields, sowing and reaping the barley that kept food in the mouths of him and his younger sisters. Always feisty and strong, Jason had an interest in wrestling and boxing, and before he was even a man grown had bested all who would challenge him around his families small farm south of Lannisport. Satisfied with his skills, he decided to attempt to become a swordsman. Though he could not afford a real sword, he learned quickly with self-made wooden swords, and soon fancied himself a true warrior.
Though he did not realize it at the time, his lucky day came when he was eighteen years of age. Riding to town one warm summer day, he spotted a group of travelers on the road ahead of him. Curious, as the horses were unfamiliar to him, he cantered up behind them and soon realized that it was a group of women, Lannisters by the look of them. One was very beautiful, so he rode along behind them. He was just about to turn around and head back north, as he’d ridden far beyond the village which was his aim, when out from the hedge beside the Searoad stepped four men in ragged leather, wooden clubs in hand. Seeing that the women had with them only one guard, he galloped forward to assist. By the time he reached them, the guard had already managed to kill one of them, though he was now on his back with a dagger to his throat. Jason leapt from his galloping mount and entangled himself with the bandit, soon freeing the dagger from his hand and using his own weapon to kill him. The other bandits lost heart and escaped into the woods before Jason and the guard could give chase. So pleased by his valiant assistance, the Lannister girl brought him back to Casterly Rock with her, where Lord Tyberion held a small feast in his honor and offered him a position on his guard. Jason was quick to accept, and served his lord well for a number of years, earning a knighthood in the fighting during the West’s rebellion. When knighted, he took the surname Coolhearth, so he might have something to pass on to his children. Going north with Ser Owen, he fought with great vigor in the battle beyond the wall, though it nearly cost him his life.
