Character Name: Raig Baratheon of Dragonstone

Character Age: 17 (b. 381)

Character Nationality: Stormlander

Character Description:

Raig is very much a shining example of Baratheon sentiments. Tall and well-muscled, with broad shoulders from his countless hours with the spear and lance. His hair is kept slightly long, and it is as black as the others of his name. Handsome and somewhat rugged, he sports a bit of black beard that is fairly forested considering his age. Pressed into his strong brow are a pair of blue-green eyes.

Character Personal History:

The third son of Lord Beric Baratheon, Raig was sent to foster with Lord Hightower simply because he did not take to the written word as well as he took to martial prowess. With the Citadel out of the question, the next step was to find a suitable Warden.

Raig arrived six years ago, and in that time has used his charisma, attractiveness and winning disposition to place himself as an invaluable member of the adopted household. Especially in the hearts of the lady folk.

Character Traits: Charismatic, Stubborn, Courageous, Sociable, but also a bit "dim".

Character Age: 15 (b. 383)

Character Nationality: West

Character Description:

Tyana, has very long blonde hair that she usually has in a plait to keep out of the way, or just up in general, when let loose it reaches below her waist. She is slightly built and slender, with delicate features. Considered pretty when she first arrived she has been considered very beautiful now she has matured. Like most Lannisters she has brilliant green eyes.

Character Personal History:

The middle child, and only daughter of the current Lord Lannister, she was the apple of her father's eye and considered a joy of a child. She got on very well with her older brother and the two of them were nearly inseparable, but despised her little brother for taking some of the attention away from her. When the little brother was seven, she saw a means to her end by pushing him down a flight of stairs, but he unfortunately survived and Tyana was caught. After hushing up the incident, Lord Lannister finally decided to send Tyana away to the House Hightower, who were known for fostering children, for undisclosed reasons, until both her and the little brother were older, and she could return to Casterly Rock.

She has been fostered for the last five years, and is still very bitter about the whole thing, having not seen herself as having done anything wrong, and sends regular letters to her older brother, but never any to her other relations.

[Lord Oswyn Baratheon]

Character Name: Tybalt Lannister

Character Age: 17 (b. 381)

Character Nationality: West

Character Description:

Tybalt is tall and slender with a lean athletic build. His golden locks are short and often messed with a short beard to match, framing a long handsome face. He spares no expense on his attire, often in fine silks of red and gold. His constant playful smirk and easygoing nature stand in stark contrast to his calculating emerald eyes, no doubt inherited from his father.

Character Personal History:

The first son and heir of the current Lord Lannister, Tybalt was born with the weight of Casterly Rock on his shoulders. Under the critical eye of his father, he was trained constantly to one day take on the mantle of Warden of the West. Heraldry, economics, warfare, swordsmanship, and history were just some of the many topics he was expected to master.

His only reprieve from the constant pressure came in the kinship he shared with his sister Tyana. The two were inseparable as children, often exploring the catacombs of Casterly Rock. Though he did not agree with his sister's treatment of their brother, he was the first to come to her defense when their father decided to send her away to Oldtown.

Separated from his only real companion with ravens being their only way to communicate, Tybalt began to rebel against his father. Though he still kept up with his lessons, he would regularly sneak away to Lannisport when the pressures became too much and he felt like some mischief. Amongst the common people, he learned the power of the coinpurse at his belt. It quickly made him friends to go on benders with; becoming a popular figure in the local taverns, brothels, and gambling houses.

When Lord Lannister discovered his heir's new hedonistic lifestyle he decided it was time for the young man to squire for another of the powerful lords and do his family some good and hopefully mature in the process. Tybalt asked to be fostered at Oldtown so as to be reunited with his sister. Additionally, he could think of no knight more worthy to train under than the legendary Ser Derek Flowers.

He arrived almost two years ago and when he is not training in the yard with Ser Derek or conversing with his sister, he can usually be found in the company of Joss Hightower. The two formed an easy bond, having much in common as the heirs to two of the most powerful lords in the realm. Tybalt often finances the misadventures when the two lads and their friends require a break from the confines of the Hightower.

[Lord Gareth Hightower]

Character Name: Rycherd Tyrell

Character Age: 17 (b. 381)

Character Nationality: Reach

Character Description: Rycherd is tall with his mother's golden hair worn shoulder-length. At 17 he is beginning to fill out with muscle.

Character Personal History: Third surviving son of Ser Randyll Tyrell, younger brother of the late Lord Tyrell and current regent of Highgarden. Rycherd's eldest brother Ser Edwyrd Tyrell is a knight some ten years his senior, while his next surviving brother Garlan is closer in age being only three years his senior. He also has a sister Margaery, as yet unmarried at the age of 22. His elder brother Edmure Tyrell was squire to his cousin Ser Dustin Tyrell (Danyella's brother) but fell in the same battle as Dustin. Rycherd barely remembers anything of him.

Fostered at the age of four to Oldtown at the same time as his younger cousin Danyella, Rycherd has grown up not knowing anyone from his family apart from Danyella. Ambitious, Rycherd wishes more than anything to be a knight of some renown and he spends much of his time training in the yard with sword, lance and horse. Painfully aware of the reasons he is fostered at Oldtown, he is known to be headstrong and wilful, but is loyal to those he considers his friends.

[Horas]

Character Name: Dunnock Keath

Character Age: 16

Character Region: The Riverlands

Character Description: Dunnock is a strong, broad-shouldered boy with a square jaw and rough calluses on his hands. His shaggy auburn hair shades a pair of wary brown eyes. Dunnock’s closed expression often gives the impression of sullenness.

Character History:
When Dunnock was just a young boy, the maester came to Lord Keath and told him that his son was such a bright boy that he could make a fine maester. For this slight, Lord Morrel Keath had the maester beaten and commanded him never to speak to Dunnock again. After that, Dunnock’s days were spent working in the training yard and caring for his father’s arms and armor. Mistakes were punished harshly.

Lord Keath's madness was an open secret, evidenced by the brutalities and paranoid rants. But no one suspected that anything would come of it – House Keath’s strength bordered on insignificant, with only a cramped keep and a handful of knights to its name.

But madness knows no reason. Lord Keath assembled his knights and his son and squire Dunnock, and declared war. He raided his neighbors’ lands, and though he was soon beaten back, he retreated to his keep and swore he would see all his enemies dead. It was only after a long siege that the incident that became known as Morrel’s Madness came to an end.

Dunnock’s father died in the fighting, but Dunnock survived. Because of an act of heroism on the part of Dunnock’s grandfather, still remembered by House Tully, it was decided that House Keath would not be stripped of its keep outright. But all agreed it was essential that Dunnock be fostered by a good loyal lord, to ensure that he did not become his father’s son. Dunnock is nervous to see what awaits him at the Hightower.

[Tytos]

Character Name: Vardis Blackwood

Character Age: 15

Character Region: The Riverlands

Character Description:
Vardis is a typical boy of his age. Of average height and gangly body, Vardis has yet to fill out his stick-figure. He has short, curly brown hair, and a peach fuzz mustache. He has light blue eyes and a sharp jaw and cheekbones.

Character History:
The second-born son of Lord Blackwood, Vardis is several years younger than his older siblings, both in their mid-twenties. A surprise child, needless to say. Vardis was raised mostly by the septa, ignored by his parents who doted on their older children. Vardis spent a little too much time around the men-at-arms at Raventree Hall, causing him to be a boisterous and troublesome little boy, a little too fond of mead and fighting. His parents decided to rid themselves of their trouble teen, and send Vardis off to foster at the Hightower. Lord Blackwood told him before he left, “Make friends with that Dunnock Keath, don't want him to turn out like his father.” Like Vardis cared about that stupid son of a madman.

Character Age: 15 (b. 382)

Robb is a young man, not yet fully grown, with broad shoulders and a slender build. He stands about 5 feet 9 inches, but since he is still growing, he is believed to become quite tall.

Character Personal History:

Robb was born the third son, and youngest child, to the Lord of Ashemark and his wife. He was a quiet child, never making much fuss about himself, which made his parents worry about him in the beginning of his childhood. He was raised as any child of a noble family is in Westeros, though Robb's father contemplated the idea of sending his third son to the Citadel where he would become a maester. However the fate of the gods seemed to think differently as both his elder brothers were killed in battle during the last war, which leaves Robb to become the Lord of Ashemark the day that his father is guided to the next world. Robb was sent to Oldtown to serve as a ward to House Hightower as punishment for his father's rebellion against the King.

[schizophrenicknight]

Character Name: Renly Greyjoy

Character Age: 17 (b. 380)

Character Nationality: IronBorn

Character Description: Renly is a tall powerful looking youth of seventeen, he has the atypical Iron Islands look. To those who knew Theon Greyjoy would say that he is his son if not his younger twin. He wears his black hair short and spiky, his grey eyes are piercing and challenging. He wears a chain-mail studded tunic at all times, due to his blanket challenge to the house of Hightower that he'll accept a challenge anytime or place should anyone feel worthy. Renly is around 6'4" and 186 lbs. He wears a chinstrap mustache he cultivated meticulously, he is always smiling and appears well at ease.



Character Personal History: Renly is the son of Victarion Greyjoy, and heir to the Iron Islands. Little is known to who his mother was, but rumor has it that she was a beautiful woman in the court of casterly rock. Right away Victarion knew that the boy was special so he took him back to the islands as soon as he was able, little Renly took to the Islands like he was born from the rocks themselves. He was a defiant child, proving that he was IronBorn through and through. When he turned the age of four when he couldn't go with his father he decided to take a plank out of his long boat; which resulted in sinking it. Instead of killing his son he sent him off to the Hightowers to foster him. There Renlyk saw a side of the world that challenged him. Knighthood, Tactics, and strategy, Renly vowed that he would honor his father and become the deadliest knight commander that westeros had ever seen. Even the king's guard would tremble before him. He is the only fosterling that Anthony Hightower will spend time with, because renly as an only child on the Iron Islands had to make friends with the birds and occasional dolphin that appeared near the shore. Also he treated the younger child like an equal; more than once Lord Hightower had to speak to Renly about his choice of actions when it comes to the other fosterlings and his youngest son. It causes the other Fosterlings to resent him a little, due to treating a Hightower better than them. More than one unheard of fight has happened between Renly and other male fosterlings. Renly trains with Michael Hightower everyday and both are if not equal swordsman they are close. It is whispered throughout the place that if you best one the other will find you and avenge the slight. Sapphire Hightower is often seen near the training yard watching Renly train; although she tries to be secretive most of the place realizes the attraction that Sapphire Greyjoy has for Renly Greyjoy.
