9) Character Personal History:

Born the eldest child of Queen Rhaenys Targaryen and her consort Selwyn Baratheon, Joanna is a child of war. She is too young to remember most of the war but she does recall that her aunt Liliyana murdered her father Selwyn. Joanna has few memories of her father except that she and her brothers were frightened of his scarred visage. She has stronger memories of her capitivity by Ragnor Greyjoy. Her brother Maekar, who was also kidnapped, was too young to remember any of it, but Joanna remembers her dislike of Ragnor and her fear of his followers.

Joanna grew up mostly ain the Eyrie under her mother's guardianship but spent a fair bit of time at Storm's End and the travelling Court. Rhaenys trained her to wield a blade though it was clear that she lacked her mother's inbred skill. Joanna showed more talent for political abilities so she began to spend more and more time with the Court. At sixteen she weas urged by Lord Thatcher to wed the fourteen year old Jon Royce, the heir to Runestone and a childhood companion of Joanna and Maekar when they were in the Vale. Rhaenys wasn't keen on her daughter having to make a political match. With Rhaenys as her primary role model, Joanna loathed the tradiitional concept of female submission to her husband, and so she decided that a younger husband would suit her better than an older one who might not be as willing to go along with her own wishes. She and Jon were betrothed and married within the year. Since then, Joanna has divided her time between Runestone and the Court. She is a good friend to her goodsister Queen Morgan and various other ladies of the Court. She has three living daughters and one who died in infancy. Jon is now putting pressure on her to have another child since he desperately wants a son to follow him, but Joanna is more interested in her life at Court and in playing the great lady.

10) Character Physical Description:

She has pale gold hair and purple eyes, white skin and delicate features. She is more beautiful than Rhaenys and has a more lively countenance. She is not quite as slender as she once was, now that she has had several children, but that makes her look more beautiful and more womanly than the delicate waif she once was. Joanna always dresses to advantage, usually in dresses that hug her bodice and show a hint of cleavage (sometimes) more. She likes bright, vivid colours in a multitude of shades but purple and gold are her favourites. She hates dark colours such as grey and brown.

7) Character Personal History: Daeron remembers little of the time before the sacking of Kings Landing as this was an event which imprinted itself strongly on his mind. His father Selwyn is a distant memory to him; a fearsome man with many scars. Daeron never truly had a father figure and spurned any contact that Eustace would try and make with him. Instead he spent time with himself, reading books and forceibly joining in the marshal training he was receiving, something he did with little fun.

Growing up in the Red Keep, Daeron was always fearful of the lords Thatcher and Trant. He avoided them when possible and always told his brother Daemon that they were bad men who were up to no good. As he grew older he learned to ignore his feelings for the men who ruled the kingdom and noticed that many young women at court were paying a lot of attention to him. Realizing he could use this to his advantage, Daeron became somewhat of a ladies man; charming young women into kissing him (and sometimes a little more), though he was never found out to have taken any woman's flower.

Though he had a bad relationship with most of the ruling men, Daeron did become friends with Euric Dayne, enjoying the lessons the man gave him about tactics and often playing with his childredn; Lavinya and Beric would become two of his best friends. Daeron fostered a while at Wargrove and there his betrothal to Lord Dawnrose's daughter was taken one step further. Unwillingly married, Daeron took more and more to sneaking out at night and so far the two do not have a child.

8) Character Physical Description: Daeron is around six foot tall and truly handsome, with straight black hair and the Baratheon blue eyes. His features and build however is more Targaryen, with high cheekbones and a lean figure, not too overly muscled. He dresses mostly in reds and blacks, the colours of his house, and his clothes
are always impressive.

Nymeria is the only daughter of Princess Ariadne Martell and Lord Rowan Trant. She has two brothers: older twin Prince Trystane and younger brother Prince Adrian. While Nymeria and Trystane look like their parents, there are often whispers about Adrian’s parentage.

Trystane and Nymeria have always been inseparable, doing almost everything together. They both grew up at Sunspear, spending lot of time in the training yard as well as with their mother, learning the arts of intrigue and deception, making the Dornish people think of them as another generation of vipers, but twice as deadly. It might or might not have truth to it, because the twins seem to hold morals, something that their parents probably lack.

After recently accidentally overhearing a conversation between Rowan and Ariadne, Nym has started to doubt their means and wonder whether Trystane, Adrian and Nym herself are only puppets in their parents’ eyes.

Connor was born in the year 555, the son of a simple woman and his father unknown, on the lands that belonged to Riverrun. His mother never talked about his father much as he grew up, but as Connor grew older he found out through gossip around the little village, Connor found out that his father was one of the sons of Lord Selwyn Tully.

The Long Winter hit Connor and his family hard, but they survived by eating small game like rabbit and even rat sometimes. Connor, his mother and a few more villagers, fled their small homes and took refuge in the ruins of Riverrun. There they have made their living during the cold winter, only having to deal with a few bandits at times. He and some of the other villagers have begun building small houses, using stone from the destroyed walls. The winter still proved itself the victor, as it has claimed most of the villagers that came here, only a handful of the young boys and girls is still alive.

Connor styled himself Master of Riverrun, since he was the only one with Tully blood running in his veins until Lord Oswell Tully revisited the ruin. After the Heroes of Winter returned Connor began to help rebuild is makeshift home at the behest of Lord Tully. He was taken on as a student to the castellan and learned of the arts of war and lording. Connor was eventually legitimized by Queen Rhaenys Targaryen and received Riverrun as his own castle after Lord Tully became Lord Protector of the Hightower and it’s lands.

After Oswell Tully was killed during the Great War Connor became the last living member of House Tully. He fought alongside Oswell’s men and Lord Euric Dayne and soon gained the respect of both his own men and the lords he met. After the War Connor returned to Riverrun to a Mallister bride and now rules over his lands with a fair but iron hand. He regularly goes among the smallfolk to how his care, and always personally hears their petitions. Connor has filled the halls of Riverrun with four children, though only one of them bears the characteristic red hair of the Tully line. Connor has spent the past twenty years as Lord of Riverrun well, fortifying his walls and seeing to it that the people of his lands are kept safe and happy through the troubles of recent years. After the death of his first son Oswell, Connor went into a deep state of mourning and was barely ever seen outside his solar. The birth of his youngest daughter brought him out of his depression, and he was soon seen laughing and joking with his men.

Though many lords of the realm feared the Trio, Connor welcomed them to his hall when it came to him to hold the Royal Court. Connor performed his duties as he was charged and when the Three Great Lords left his hall he welcomed them to return when they saw fit.



Character Physical Description:

Connor is of average height with a slim and built body. He has short chestnut brown hair and his eyes are hazel, situated underneath a pair of bushy eyebrows. Connor prefers the drab brown tunics to the silken fabrics; and can be seen working alongside his men on repairs and improvements. Connor sports a well-groomed beard of brown that covers a long scar received by an enemy spear during the Great War.



Character Reputation:

Connor is known as a fair but hard man. After the Great War he returned a battle-hardened commander and typically leads small ands of men against bandits within the woods of the Riverlands. The smallfolk see him as a beacon of justice, for he will not meet out punishment before hearing the whole of a story. The servants of Riverrun known Connor to be a kind father, though he trains his two young sons with sword and lance with no sympathy.

First

Character's Name: Lord Steffon Baratheon

Character Personal History: Lord Steffon Baratheon was born in 578, immediately after Lord Eustace Baratheon returned to Storm's End with the former queen Rhaenys. While Lords Thatcher and Trant were busy reorganizing the chaos of the realm, Lord Eustace relaxed at his home and so for the first several years of his life Steffon found himself in a calm peace. He always loved when the court would come to Storm's End, for he enjoyed few things more than spending time with his half-siblings, the royal triplets. He grew close with his younger brother Rodrick, pursuing the same interests of practicing with the sword, although when they reached a certain age they both began to spend as much time chasing women as working on their martial skills.

Steffon inherited his father's love of drink and laughter, as well as his father's love for Queen Rhaenys, two whom Steffon is fiercely devoted. Steffon would often hunt with his father and brothers in the Kingswood, swapping bawdy jokes, drinking, and generally having a good time. When Lord Eustace was killed accidentally in a joust in 594 Steffon's world changed drastically. At sixteen he was for the most part capable of handling the lordship of the Stormlands that was thrust upon him however he could never completely fill the massive shoes that Eustace had left behind. The squire that had killed his father by some absurd fluke, only one year younger than Steffon himself, was pardoned by Lord Eustace before he died, to Steffon's fury.

This was the fist time his fiery temper truly revealed itself, when he tracked the boy down on in Storm's End where the tourney mishap had taken place, and beat him to death with his bare hands. The corpse was discovered several days later, but never investigated because few in Storm's End cared that the squire who killed their lord was dead. With that, Steffon assumed the Lordship of the Stormlands and has since worked to ensure that they remain strong and stable. In early 597 he married a daughter of Lord Caron, his wife becoming Lady Catelyn Baratheon who was renowned by many as the most beautiful woman in the Stormlands. She became pregnant shortly after their marriage, and at the beginning of 598 their first son and heir was born, named Selwyn to honor the uncle that Steffon never met.

Lord Steffon is a skilled swordsman, preferring a hand-and-a-half sword but being able to fight with various different types of blades. He is also skilled at using only his fists as weapons, and is a middling Jouster, though has not competed in any tournament jousts since his father's death four years ago.

Character Physical Description: Lord Steffon is tall, having inherited is father's towering height, albeit without inheriting his massive frame. Steffon could be considered lanky by some, though his long arms and legs are densely muscled without appearing to be so. He has deep coal black hair that he often wears tied back in a tail, and his eyes are a strange shade of purple; obviously a mixture of clear Baratheon blue and the lilac from his mother's Targaryen heritage.

He's got high cheekbones which tend to give his visage an exotic foreign look, and he's got perfectly even pearl-white teeth. He keeps himself clean-shaven at all times. He's dashingly handsome and has got a charming smile and has never had any trouble bringing willing women to his bed. Steffon tends to dress in black garb stitched with gold thread and the crowned stag of House Baratheon emblazoned in gold on breast.

Character Personal History: Ser Rodrick Baratheon was the youngest of Rhaenys Targaryen's children by Lord Eustace Baratheon, and so he grew up with his brother and sister at Storm's End, though they would attend court whenever it came to the Stormlands. He was close with his older brother Steffon, and never begrudged him the lordship of Storm's End. He studied the arts of battle as well as command of vessels at sea. He was only thirteen when Lord Eustace died in an accident and Steffon became the Lord of the Stormlands. Rodrick could never quite match his brother at arms despite his larger frame, favoring a large spiked warhammer over a sword. He squired for Lord Ivan Grandison in Grandview, learning at the old man's feet about the knightly code as well as the code of law. Rodrick follows the faith of the seven, though whether he has true faith of not is a secret to which only he knows the answer.

Character Physical Description: Ser Rodrick looks more baratheon than his brother, haivng inherited their father's frame as well as his height. He stands an even two meters, thickly muscled to the point where he can swing his huge spiked warhammer with one hand. Though few relics remain from the era of the early Baratheon Kings, it is said that Rodrick looks much like King Robert I, rather than his grandfather and namesake. His personal arms are a crowned dragon, gold on black.

7) Character Personal History: Barristan’s life started at Dawnrose Keep as the son of Lord Edmure the new Lord Paramount of the Mander and his mother Lady Sarah Caswell. Barristan remembers nothing of the violent beginnings of the rule of Thatcher and his two minions but remembers the thrill of seeing the court come. Being the eldest and a Dawnrose from the line of the Dawn Raider the young man took to the sword like a natural talent. As he grew older and was joined by brothers he began to see things how the really were. Edmure was always a cold man to his son. Barristan would find his father looking at him and when the child would turn and smile at his father Edmure’s face would go white and he would make some excuse to leave.

But this do very little troubled to the young boy as he grew close to his Uncle Ser Randal. The blond haired man was always smiling and smuggling Barristan and his brother’s sweets and toys to play with. At the age of 12 his life was changed. Barristan had gone up too see father and mother to ask to go and spend time on Oakenshield when he arrived there he found his parents arguing. As there words grew louder Barristan heard his mother yell that he never loved him and only married him for power. The laughter that came from Edmure’s mouth was harsh; he yelled back that he only did it for Lord Paramountship. From then on Barristan always looked at his parents differently.

In the year 595 when Barristan was Ten and Nine he was made Lord. This great event came with the death of his father. Edmure had taken his four boys out hunting. When they came across a buck it instead of fleeing or falling from a spear it charged and gouged Edmures side. The wound soon festered and the once great warrior withered. Before he died he called Barristan to him. First the two were silent then Edmure began to speak, “I’m sorry Barristan I was never a good father.” Soon father and son began crying. Barristan told Edmure that he had done his best and he did have a good childhood. Then Edmure was silent again. Then barely a whisper he began to talk again. “I wanted to hold you son but every time I looked at you I saw the children that fell to my blade. I did many horrible things in the Long Winter something’s that I and the Seven will never forgive me for.” Barristan then stood and hugged his father. As he held him Edmure died. As Barristan left his fathers chambers he walked into the great hall tears streamed down his face, “Lord Edmure Dawnrose, Lord Paramount of the Mander. Loyal Servant of King Daemon Targaryen, Rhaenys Targaryen before him and Selwyn Baratheon before her. Warrior of the Long Winter, Wielder of Truth….” Barristan almost looks like he’s not going to finish, “Is dead. I, Ser Barristan Dawnrose first son of Edmure Dawnrose am now Lord Barristan Dawnrose.”

8) Character Physical Description: Like all his family Barristan is a big man. At the age of 22 he stands at 6’1 with broad shoulders with very light brown hair.

6) Character's Personal History:

Titus Bracken was conceived during the final months of his father’s life, in the end of 575, just before Lord Gennar met an untimely death brought on by gorging himself lampreys. Titus’ birth also marks the only posthumous delivery (and needless to say, the most ominous one) in Stone Hedge’s last hundred years: during the grueling four-hour funeral service for the late Lord, the grieving Lady Bracken went into labour. After quite some time a healthy boy was delivered, an occasion which was met with much rejoicing by the commons, but a general wave of disappointment amongst the cadet branches of House Bracken that had nearly snatched the lordship from their hitherto childless cousin, Lord Gennar.

Lady Jeyne Bracken (nee Banefort) was a protective mother, and she was, with due cause, highly suspicious of her late husband’s family, whom she generally observed as lacking any moral fiber. As a result of this, Titus was raised for half his life at House Frey’s court, where his uncle Lord Edwyn served as Regent and Lord Paramount. He became a favourite of his mother’s elder brother, and a rival to the man’s son after a particularly nasty fallout they encountered in their early teens.

In terms of his own courtly education, Titus proved to be a capable learner with a keen interest for swordplay and action. As he grew older he began to build a reputation at court for causing petty feuds between courtiers and playing his rivals off against each other, an interest which would greatly influence his future political developments. The resultant effects of these activities fermented within Titus to become a deep desire for the cunning aspects of politics, thereon leading to a series of friendships with opportunistic characters, men of dubious reputation and not wholly unlike his other Bracken cousins.

Upon his 15th nameday Titus was betrothed to Aerie Thatcher, the daughter of the Hand/Regent. Aerie had been given as a ward to Lord Gennar Bracken; a balanced deal brokered between the Lord Regent and Gennar in exchange for certain trade rights.

The union itself, has thus far been amicable with the two spending most of their time at court together. However, it is, at its heart, a political marriage and one that has over time greatly shifted to House Bracken’s favour. To appease would-be dissidents in his wife’s demesne, he frequently visits Harrenhal, making sure to bring their young daughter Ailsa along.

His travels have not taken him far out of Stone Hedge, and only recently has he gone further than Riverrun, visiting King’s Landing a couple times within the last year.

7) Character's Physical Description:

A man of modest height, with a wandering and visible curiosity, he is not a man of impressive or unique appearance, but rather of a calm and composed demeanor. Short dark hair crowns the head of his clean-shaven face. Only a handful of the most perceptive would recognize the occasional of Titus’s stares as sinister.

8) Character's Reputation:

Known for his love of family and service, he is generally well liked by the lesser nobility who owe him fealty.

At the age of 11 she snuck out, determined to make a gift of a deer that she had seen to her parents, something that almost cost her her life and resulting in a ban on hunting for a few years. In that time she favoured the longbow, determined to make herself good enough to rival even the best of the Dothraki archers.

He led a mostly uneventful youth and young adulthood, but upon bending the knee, he realized his visions and began the construction of a massive roadway system, rocketting the Northern trade up to as comparable standards as the Reaches.

This passion was coupled with his incredible affinity for the Seven's teachings, and once the trade ways opened up, the roads became littered with his own piety as he began to usher "Seven Merchants" around the North. These ministers were loaded down with supplies of sacred books and items and began their job of conversion. This created some schism at first, but desolved soon with his marriage to Jara Reed, and over the next eighteen years, she gave him fifteen children, eleven sons and four daughters.

He has recently become interested in the more architectural aspects of the Realm, and has become infatuated with disseminating court life.


Character Physical Description:



What was once a man of average height and thick build became atrophied by years of a sedintary life style. Valrus now sports a more flabby frame, though not without it's hardness of muscle. He is a ferocious looking man, though is more gentle than appears. His most distinguished feature is his elaborately groomed and very long moustache, which he takes great pride in.

[Princess Lyssandra Martell]

First: Aryanna Dayne, age 17 as of the year 600

A charming girl that was sent from her home of Star Isle to the King's travelling court to serve under the tutelage of Queen Morgan Targaryen. She was told at an early age that she had much to aspire to and many oppurtunities as a result of her fathers hard work and loyalty. When she first arrived she was nervous and timid but as she has been growing she has started to fit the mould of courtly life and manners, enjoying it and the perks that it provides. She loves to read poetry and stories and sometimes writes her own. A minor knight from Dorne(Ser Maryn Drinkwater) wrote her poem after his arrival to King's Landing and she liked it enough to befriend him, though he has more feelings for her than she does for him. Some men dare not approach her or treat her extra kindly due to her status and reputation and those who do interact with her find themselves impressed by her charm. She tries to find some light in the depressing void that is the court, as it travels from one area to another, where men are scared to speak openly, though she is content that they behave themselves.

In her studies she has been taught how to nurse wounded, though she is not used to the sight of blood and would rather not have to dirty herself. Of other things she has learned it is the important of information and gossip in the court, to have advantage over others ranging from fashions to having leverage in conversation, should she need someone to do something for her or owe her a favour. Apart from these skills, she also takes pleasure in dancing.

Arya is usually among the shorter ladies in a room. She makes up for her stature by her acute fashion sense and wonderous jewelry. Her breasts are small and she sometimes is jealous of women that are more well endowed but she does not think of it long. Her hips are wide and her bottom is large. Her smile is one of her more captivating assets and she uses it to charm men and women.

Character Personal History: Beric Dayne was born the second son of Lord Euric Dayne and Princes Alysanne Targaryen. He was a soft and lovable child, and was very close to his mother. She died when he was a boy of five, and he was distraught for the better part of a year, scarcely willing to do anything besides mope. Eventually, he was healed of his childish grief by time, and grew into a good natured youth, enjoying the outdoors and all activities that involved anything besides sitting about. He was an apt hunter from a young age, and took to the sword with a natural grace that belied his age, and enjoyed the Braavosi lessons he received, although, he did not pursue them beyond a basic knowledge of the language, which he understands better than he speaks.

As he grew older, he began to appreciate his father more, and would spend hours sitting and speaking of battle and generalship, and simply enjoying the tales the man could tell. He spent his time split between Kings Landing and Starfall, enjoying both places nearly equally. He enjoys the company of his older sister Lavinya, though he takes merciless pleasure in giving her trouble. He ribs her and nags her, and is a general pain in her ass, enjoying every moment.

His time in Kings Landing was very enjoyable to the handsome youth, as he had a perfect opportunity to pursue his two highest pleasures: fighting and chasing after women. His father’s connections insured that he was given only the very finest instruction with the sword, training with men like Ser Owen Lannister (whom he respects highly, as like Beric, he stands to inherit no lands) to say nothing of his famous father. The city also gave him more than ample opportunity to enjoy the loveliness of women, which he took full advantage of.

He still travels back to Starfall reasonably often, though he now spends much of his time traveling with the King’s Court, seeing all that the Kingdom has to offer and living the life that any young man dreams of, moving from woman to woman, without ever needing worry about running out of strong drink. He has many friends among the men of court, and thoroughly enjoys his life.

Character Physical Description: Beric is tall and handsome, inheriting his silver hair from both sides of his lineage, which he wears of middling length, just above his shoulders. He stands around six foot two inches, with a lean and athletic frame. His eyes are a very dark purple and normally show exactly how he is feeling. His face is very expressive, which his mother had told him as a boy showed a lack of self discipline, and his thoughts are often given away without a single word.
