    House Reyne of Castamere

    Family coat of arms

    Family motto
    'Our Claws Are Sharp'

    Family tree
    WIP

    Family history
    The Reynes claim descent from Robert Reyne, a knight who invaded Westeros six thousand years ago alongside his fellow Andals and who distinguished himself sufficiently in battle against the Mountain Men, the Vale's original inhabitants, to be granted estates and titles in the Vale, in the vicinity of today's Strongsong. These original Vale Reynes never got further than the rank of knight, and lived the lives of middling Vale nobility for four thousand years until they were slaughtered at a feast by their host, a knightly rival of theirs whose name has been lost to history, and their lands invaded by said rival. The sole surviving Reyne, Ser Robb Reyne, avenged his family by slaying his hated rival while disguised as a traveling bard, but as the man he just killed had the ear of the Arryn King of Mountain & Vale at the time, he was soon forced to flee to the Westerlands.

    There, he entered the service of the reigning Lannister King of the Rock, fighting by his side in many wars with the Gardener Kings of the Reach and the Ironborn. He eventually became known as the 'Red Lion', especially after killing a River Lord in Ironborn service with the family's ancestral Valyrian sword 'Red Rain', for which he received the lands around Castamere and the hand of a Lannister princess. Unfortunately, it was not to last - in a later battle with the Ironborn on Fair Isle, he was slain and his sword 'Red Rain' taken by the Ironborn warrior Hilmar Drumm, who (being lightly armored) outmaneuvered him and bashed his head in with a wooden cudgel. His son and successor, also named Robb, attempted to give chase but was slowed down by his own armor, and to this day the Reynes harbor a grudge against the Drumms.

    For two thousand years the Reynes served as bannermen to the Lannisters, performing many heroic deeds even without Red Rain to prove their loyalty to the Kings of the Rock, while covertly ascending the power ladder of the Westerlands to become the second most powerful house in the land, coming only after the Lannisters themselves. By 1 AL, Lord Ronnel Reyne, Fourth of his Name, had already built up alliances with the Tarbecks, Leffords and Westerlings and was preparing to overthrow King Loren Lannister, when an unforeseen disaster struck in the form of the Targaryen invasion. Reyne and his allies agreed to answer their overlord's summons, intent on betraying the Lannisters on the battlefield, only to be roasted by Aegon's dragons before they could carry out their bloody deed. Following the deaths of so many Reyne troops and King Loren's submission, Ronnel's heirs largely forgot his plan, and the house alternated between ascents and declines throughout history like so many other houses.

    A member of House Reyne, one Ser Robb Reyne, fought for the Blackfyres during the Blackfyre Rebellion and was promptly disowned by the rest of the family, which remained loyal to the Targaryens.

    In 260 AL, Lord Raynald Reyne, an accomplished warrior nicknamed 'the Red Lion', revolted against the Lannisters with House Tarbeck. Despite his ally Lord Tarbeck's inexperience, Lord Reyne was a seasoned warrior bearing the scars of a thousand battles, and felt confident that he could succeed in realizing his ancestor Ronnel's plan. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as he was killed by an arrow to the throat in battle with the Lannisters and his host scattered. His ally, Lord Tarbeck, was captured and executed in a separate engagement. His son, the present Lord Raymun, bent the knee as part of a joint agreement with Lord Tarbeck's own successor, and the two houses were heavily fined for their audacity.

    Since then, the Reynes have spent their time licking their wounds, and by the time of the War of the Usurper they had nearly recovered at least their pre-rebellion wealth, if not quite their influence and demographics. During the war the Reynes were content to sit back and continue rebuilding, only mobilizing when summoned out of fear that the Lannisters would 'finish the job' so to speak, and even then Lord Reyne was gladdened when news broke of the Tyrells' treachery and occupation of King's Landing.

    Now, more than thirty years after the failed rebellion, the Reynes have fully rebuilt their strength. Lord Raymun, a slothful and war-weary man in his late forties, is in no mood to repeat his father's disastrous rebellion, and of his children, none really have their grandfather's ambition. Still, that does not mean the Red Lions will remain idle if the chance for greater glory presents itself...

    Major characters:


    Raymun Reyne, Third of His Name, Lord of Castamere

    Lord Reyne presides over a council of war...or an order for more wine, it's hard to tell

    Age: 48 (born 249 AL)
    Gender: Male
    Married? Yes (to Lia Serrett)

    Physical appearance: Very tall (6'5") and lean in build, having kept fit after years of drinking and eating through military drills. Dark-haired, dark-eyed and unlike his children, proudly wears a beard in the style of his father. His arms, chest and the left side of his face all bear scars from his battles with pirates and bandits.

    Biography: Born the oldest son of Raynald Reyne, Second of his Name and the previous Lord of Castamere. Lord Reyne had an easy childhood, surrounded by the splendor of the Castamere court, and with fawning courtiers to look after his every need - until his father was killed in rebellion against the Lannisters, making him Lord of Castamere and head of House Reyne at the age of eleven. His first act as lord, at the behest of his terrified mother, was to bend the knee to the Lannisters, saving the house from utter destruction.

    He changed little from the easygoing youth he was before his father's death, and if anything the years have turned him into even more of a sot who cares only for drinking, whoring, hunting and feasting, happy to sit in his castle and be forgotten by the rest of the realm. The War of the Usurper was one of the last times where he actually got blood on his hands, and even then he seriously considered just sending his brother Edmure out to fight in his name instead.

    Personality: Laid back and cool-minded, Lord Reyne is not quick to anger, instead preferring to solve disputes with negotiations or (even after getting over his gambling addiction five years ago) luck, in the form of rolling dice, flipping coins or having the accused and accusers play a game of cyvasse in his presence. Unlike his sons, he is not particularly reverent, especially given his long history of excessive consumption, whoring and (previously) gambling. However, he does understand that the Faith of the Seven is a useful tool to motivate his people into conflict when needed, and is more than happy to use it in this manner. Furthermore, he maintains a court-septon as needed and has allowed his sons' religious fervor to burn unabated.

    A cautious politician, Lord Reyne is slow to make moves and reach decisions, but once he does he will stick to his chosen course to the bitter end or at least, until he himself can no longer sustain it no matter what he does. He prefers to wait for opportunities to present themselves rather than actively constructing them. He is similarly cautious when it comes to fighting, preferring to muster his might and the full strength of his allies behind him before striking; when he does however, he falls upon his enemies like a pride of starved lions, or at least he would like to say he does...in any case, politically or militarily, he is not one to shirk away from opportunities that present themselves to him.

    Ser Robb Reyne, heir to Castamere, jure uxoris Lord of Tarbeck Hall

    Pictured: Flaming sword, imminent slaughter of pirates. Not pictured: Pyrotechnical failure, third-degree burns (and the right CoA )

    Age:
    22 (born 275 AL)
    Gender: Male
    Married? Yes (to Lysa Tarbeck)

    Physical appearance: Fairly tall (6'1") and lean in build with long limbs, more like a sprinter than a wrestler or fistfighter. Inherited his mother's neck-length dark red-gold hair and blue eyes, and unlike his father makes a point of always staying clean-shaven. Has marks on his neck from the time a pirate chained him there and attempted to drown him by throwing him into the ocean, and burn marks on his hands from the time he fought off said pirate with a burning sword.

    Biography: Born the second child but oldest son of Lord Raymun Reyne, Third of His Name, Lord of Castamere and Lia Serrett, his lawfully wedded wife. Ser Robb's early childhood was mostly spent under the tutelage of the family septon and his mother, as his father was far too busy drinking, whoring and eating to actually properly care for him and his siblings. At the age of seven, he was shunted off to Tarbeck Hall as a fosterling to his grandfather's old allies. It was there that he met his future wife, Lady Senelle Tarbeck, then his playmate; where he learned the arts of war from his foster-father, the new Lord Tarbeck; and where, most importantly, he acquired a deeper (albeit harsher) understanding of the Faith of the Seven from the strict and dogmatic court-septon of Tarbeck Hall. At age sixteen he returned home for his knighting, a quiet man with a flair for gardening but a religious fanatic with a distaste for other faiths.

    In his seventeenth year, Robb was captured by pirates off the coast of Fair Isle. While the pirates' captain, an exiled Ironborn reaver who had hidden out in the Stepstones for most of his life, decided to sacrifice him to the Drowned God by wrapping a heavy chain around his neck and throwing him overboard, a Westerland fleet sailed forth to engage the pirates at night and promptly smashed them to bits. In the chaos, Robb was able to overcome the sole pirate left to guard him, steal his sword and light it on fire using one of the captains' torches, killing three men (the captain included) before he accidentally burnt himself and dropped the weapon, (possibly not so accidentally) setting fire to the pirate flagship as well. Upon his rescue, he was commended by his family for his bravery and use of the flaming sword, earning the moniker 'the Little Lion', though he spent the next year recovering from severe burns to his hands and arms and still bears their scars today. On a personal level though, the incident has done little more than to deepen his dislike of the Drowned God.

    Personality: Highly introverted, Robb largely keeps to himself and his religious texts. While he is perfectly capable of carrying a conversation to the finish, he is not the type to start the talk, instead preferring to bury his head in religious books such as 'The Seven-Pointed Star'. When he does speak, he always does so in a polite, formal and quiet tone, and refrains from cursing. However, beneath his civil exterior he is a religious fanatic unswervingly committed to the Faith of the Seven, and is often barely capable of repressing his distaste for Westeros's other religions, holding the Old Gods of the North in disdain as a backward superstition and the faith of R'hollor as a dangerous infidel religion from outside the continent.

    On a completely unrelated note, Ser Robb enjoys gardening more than hunting or falconry and almost as much as reading religious texts, and has made the greatest contributions toward Castamere's lordly gardens. He also has a habit of sending out doves in place of ravens, a habit borne of his religious zealotry and with more than a little inspiration from the works of Baelor the Blessed.

    Ronnet Reyne


    Age: 21 (born 276 AL)
    Gender: Male
    Married? No (Septon)

    Appearance: Short for his house (5'6") and squat. Chubby, ham-fisted and ungainly, but with a much kinder face than his brother. Inherited his father's dark hair and eyes, though not the traditional Reyne beard.

    Biography: Like his siblings, Ronnet grew up under the tutelage of his mother, Lia Serrett, owing to his father's sloth and boorish ways. He was later packed off as a fosterling to the Hightowers of Oldtown, while his older brother Robb was sent to the Tarbecks of Tarbeck Hall. At Oldtown, he immediately fell in love with the vast libraries of the city, with books dating back thousands of years, and awestruck by the beauty of the Starry Sept that used to house the Faith of the Seven's leadership until Baelor the Blessed constructed his Great Sept in King's Landing. It was here that he decided to become a septon, peacefully spreading the reach of the Faith unlike his warmongering, fanatical brother. His relaxed father, who already had his preferred heir in Robb, saw no problem with this.

    Personality: More open than his brother, Ronnet rarely drops the genial smile he usually wears on his face. He is generous and kind, at least to those of the Faith of the Seven - he has a tendency to preach to those who do not, and to spurn them if they refuse to listen to him. However, this should not be taken as a sign of weakness; while Ronnet is far more peaceful than his brother, he is similarly capable of excusing sufficiently evil deeds as long as he can find something in the framework of the Faith of the Seven to justify them, and he is just as stubborn when it comes to clinging to his faith.

    Unlike his brother, he does not enjoy gardening, though he most certainly does enjoy reading books. Though his father has dismissed this as unmanly, Ronnet has nevertheless seen allowed to keep a small library of religious texts and historical books in Castamere.

    Ser Ryman Reyne
    Age: 19 (born 278 AL)
    Gender: Male
    Married? No

    Physical appearance: Fairly tall (6'2") and extremely spindly in build. Has a long face that led his brothers to mock him as 'Rider' (as in, 'of a (long-faced, obviously) horse', usually wearing a frown, and framed by straggly shoulder-length dark hair, matching his beady eyes. He is already growing the traditional Reyne beard.

    Biography: The third son of Lord Reyne, and the one to resemble him most in appearance. Since an early age, his life has been a long chain of bitter failures and personal losses, from his older brother Samwell accidentally breaking his favorite toy when he was four by sitting on it, to his brothers poking fun at him as 'Rider' Reyne owing to his literal long face, to his best friend dying in an accident involving explosive watermelons when they were nine, to a lance splinter embedding itself in his groin during his first practice joust when he was fifteen, to being publicly rejected by a Lannisport prostitute when he was sixteen, among many other personal disasters and humiliations. Nevertheless, at 17, Ser Ryman is still holding on to the idea that his life can, in fact, improve despite his last sixteen years being nothing but one massive downward spiral.

    Personality: Bitter, introverted and miserly, Ser Ryman is not a fun person to be around. He does, however, love to rant about his countless misfortunes whenever he is given the opportunity.

    Lady Rylene Reyne
    Age: 16 (born 283 AL)
    Gender: Female
    Married? No

    Physical appearance: A fair young lady with long red-gold hair like her mother and oldest brother, blue eyes, a pretty face and an attractive figure, though nothing to lose a kingdom over as her father and even she herself admits.

    Biography: Youngest daughter of Lord Reyne and twin sister to Ryam Reyne, Lady Reyne grew up in a constricting environment, surrounded by fairytales and septas telling her she should not aspire to be greater than some lord's loving, doting wife. The one time she dared engage her oldest brother Robb in a mock swordfight, their septa broke them up and had them both punished. By now, she is grimly looking toward a dull future as some lord's wife, masking her frustration with the situation behind a facade of acceptance and even happiness.

    Personality: While on the surface she has done her best to imitate the princesses and ladies of fairytales, always wearing a smile on her face and pretending to nod & go along with whatever the men of her family say, inside Lady Reyne is immensely frustrated with her situation. She most certainly does not look forward to becoming a toy of any lord, which unfortunately is the very role she has been told to accept from an early age, and has covertly been trying to frustrate her father's attempts to marry her off. Above all, she wants to be free and to marry whomever she loves, not to be forced into a marriage with a distant lord her father has arranged for her.

    Senelle Tarbeck, Lady of Tarbeck Hall
    Age: 22 (born 275 AL)
    Gender: Female
    Married? Yes (to Robb Reyne)

    Physical appearance: A pretty young lady with light red hair, the fair skin attributed to the nobility, grey eyes and a lithe figure. She would be prettier if she wasn't frowning most of the time, many (including her late brother) say.

    Biography: The youngest daughter of the late Lord Theodan Tarbeck, granddaughter of the very Lord Tristifer Tarbeck who was killed in a failed rebellion against his Lannister overlord, and older sister to the late Lord Tytos Tarbeck. Outshone by her older sister and younger brother from an early age, the future Lady Senelle Tarbeck found solace only with her playmate Robb Reyne, a fosterling packed off to Tarbeck Hall by his uncaring father at the age of seven. Lady Tarbeck saw the rest of her family die off or be made irrelevant before her - her father died acting independently of the Lannisters, recklessly coming to the aid of the Targaryens in the War of the Usurper only to be cut down on the Trident, her older sister married a Swyft of Cornfield but died giving birth to a stillborn son, and her brother Tytos died playing with wildfire. All this has left her, once the most overlooked of the Tarbeck children, mistress of Tarbeck Hall, and a rising player in the Westerlands with her marriage to her old friend Robb Reyne, now heir to Castamere.

    Personality: While aloof and outwardly calm, inside Lady Tarbeck practically shakes with frustration and anger, all of it directed at her Lannister overlords. She holds the Lannisters responsible for the sorry state of her family, their devastation of the Tarbeck lands in the rebellion, and the death of her father (in a 'you-could-have-done-something-to-prevent-it' manner), and has already revived her grandfather's desire to oust them in her heart. Still, it is a matter she has only discussed with her husband Robb, who has sworn under the Seven never to reveal it, and who has declined to rebel against the Lannisters anytime soon (or at least until they offend the Seven) anyway. Having grown skilled in the act of concealing her true emotions and desires under a mask of cold calm over her years as a neglected daughter of House Tarbeck, Lady Tarbeck is now just biding her time for a chance to unseat the Lannisters.

    House Baratheon of Dragonstone

    Coat of Arms

    Family Motto
    "Ours is the Fury"

    Family Tree
    wip

    Family History
    Baratheons of Dragonstone was formed in 283 AL after the War of the Usurper when the new king, Robert I, named his younger brother, Stannis, Prince of Dragonstone. Stannis took the title as a slight, since he would have preferred the richer lands of Storm's End, the ancestral Baratheon castle, but Robert wanted a strong leader in the old seat of House Targaryen. Around 287, Lord Stannis took Selyse Florent to wife. During the Greyjoy Rebellion of 289, Stannis, as Robert's Master of Ships, led the Baratheon fleets to victory in the Battle of Fair Isle.


    Main Character(s):
    Orys Baratheon, Fourth of His Name, Lord of Dragonstone


    Age: 35
    Rank: Lord of Dragonstone, Bannerman of Crownlands

    Orys Baratheon, Fourth of His Name. Brother of King Maegor I Baratheon. Orys is much like his father, Stannis Baratheon. Calm, honorable, merciless and even cruel if the need arises.

    He has born at Dragonstone, ancient Castle of House Targaryen. But, in the War of the Usurper, this Castle was conquered by Stannis, with Robert Baratheon's orders.

    Family tree
    WIP


    Family motto
    "As High As Honor"


    Family history
    The Andals, the race of which the Royal House of Arryn is, first set foot on Westeros more than 6000 years ago, and the tales tell of the Winged Knight, Ser Artys Arryn, who had slain the last of the Mountain Kings who inhabited the region now known as the Vale. Ser Arryn became the leader of the House Arryn of the Eyrie. The House Arryn submitted to Aegon I Targaryen, also known as Aegon the Conquerer. He granted House Arryn the titles "Lords of the Vale" and "Wardens of the East", which the Arryns still hold. During Robert's Rebellion, the Arryns supported Robert Baratheon.

    House Baratheon Tree

    Family History
    WIP


    Main Character(s):
    Maegor Baratheon, First of His Name

    Image:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Age: 33
    Alias: Maeglor the Stag and Maeglor the Storm Caller
    Rank: King of Westeros, Lord of the Iron Baratheons
    Marital Status: Single
    Children: 2 bastards (Brandon and Alayne Rivers; Mother believed to be a servant of Maeglor)
    Maegor Baratheon was born in 264 AL to Stafford Mystwaeld and Leyna Baratheon, the sole existing child of Gawen Baratheon. The Baratheon is the younger brother of Robert the Usurper, who began a war known as Robert’s Rebellion in 282 AL, which brought an end to the 300 year old Targaryen power. Maegor was a proven commander during the War of the Usurper, leading Robert’s forces in many battles including the Battle of Ashford and the Battle of the Trident. Robert would become King of Westeros in 283 AL while Maeglor continued to serve his elder brother well as proven general and capable administrator. However, in 297 AL, Robert died in a hunting accident. With no heirs waiting to sit upon the throne, Maeglor was crowned Robert’s successor as Maegor I the Storm Caller. Though he is technically known in history as Maegor II.

    Maegor is a proven general and capable administrator that is known for his kindness to the people and to those who supported his brother during the War of the Usurper. He is a man of meritocracy, one who seeks individuals of merit and ability to be within his government. He also seeks advice from those who helped his brother, especially Eddard Stark who took over command of Robert’s army after the Battle of the Trident. However, Maegor has the shared trait with Robert of being stubborn and hard headed. He is known for being reckless and rash when it comes to decisions, however if given the chance to relax and showed his error, Maegor would calm down and apologize for his actions, thinking and speaking with a more clear head. He is also known to have a quick temper that rarely turns violent. He has an attentive eye on the loyalties of other Lords and does his best to counter their ambitions.

    Brandon Waters

    Age: 14
    Rank: Squire
    Marital Status: Single
    Children: 0
    Brandon Waters is the eldest bastard of Maegor I. His mother, a woman of unknown name and from the Crownlands, was freed from servitude after the Sack of King's Landing by the Lannisters during the War of the Usurper. The woman was offered as a servant to Maeglor who accepted her with open arms. Brandon was born in secret, but to Maegor's knowledge, as the woman continued to serve her savior. Though a bastard, Maeglor still loved Brandon. He ensured good education for the young boy and he has proven to have great potential in the military. Brandon is currently being trained by Ser Godwen Thorne, a loyal commander and adviser of Maegor I. However, Brandon is a rather sickly boy who is prone to frequent sicknesses, leaving him to be seen as a rather weak child.

    Alayne Waters

    Age: 13
    Rank: Maid
    Marital Status: Single
    Children: 0
    Alayne Waters was born to the same mother as Brandon. It was an unexpected and rough pregnancy for the servant, but a baby girl was born successfully. Alayne bore her mother's beauty and became known as the Fair Maiden of the Baratheons. She would be raised and educated by her mother. Alayne voluntarily became a servant like her mother, which Maegor reluctantly allowed. Alayne remains close to her father, refusing to serve anyone else unless ordered by Maegor. She is a rather shy woman of great potential in poetry and music.

    Ser Godwen Thorne


    Age: 24
    Rank: Sworn Sword and Bannerman of Rosby
    Marital Status: Married
    Children: 2 children (Robb and Helyna)
    Godwen is a long time friend of Maegor. Both were raised as brothers and proved to be quite a team. When Maegor went off to war with his brother, Robert, Godwen refused to remain behind and followed his superior. The Sworn Sword would save Maegor's life a few times during the War and was made the King's personal bodyguard and close adviser afterwards. He was also promoted to the rank of Bannerman of Rosby for his dedicated service during the War of the Usurper. Godwen is a very silent and stern individual, an intimidating figure to many. However, Godwen has a great temper when it comes to those who are rude to the King and his reputation. He is also secretly greedy of his connections to the ruling family and tries to do anything to prevent those ties from being ruined.

After assassinating one of his fathers rebellious bannermen and singlehandedly sabotaging the whole rebellion, He was rewarded with a knighthood.

    House Baelish in Lannisport

    Family Details
    House Baelish is not a Noble house by any measure - though they share a surname with House Baelish of the Vale. House Baelish is a freedmans house, though with great aspirations. Based in Lannisport, the house is headed by Petyr Baelish, who possesses a talent for moneymaking.
    Sigil
    A , borne upon a half dark red, half deep gold banner.


    Petyr Baelish
    The elder of the Baelish twins, Petyr displayed far more cunning than brawn as a boy, outwitting his twin frequently during their arguments. Growing up, he took his fathers money and doubled it through sound investments - an aptitude and love for coin obvious. Once his father had died, and his mother left, he travelled to Lannisport with the majority of his parents money, in order to begin his life as a Merchant, aiming to gain power at the heart of the Lannisters.

    'Winter is Coming'

    Family Tree
    WIP

    Family History
    WIP


    Major Characters
    Lord Eddard Stark, First of his name, Lord of Winterfell
    A man who values honor above all else, he would sooner die than live without it. He works tirelessly to try and further his house, yet seems to never get very far because of the ways he sticks to his honor so rigorously. He believes in the gods of the first men, the faces in the Weirwood and he hardly goes a day without praying.


    Benjen Snow, First of his name
    In a moment of weakness Eddard created a bastard with a woman he hardly knew. This baseborn boy was brought to Winterfell to be raised alongside Eddard’s other legitimate children out of a sense of duty that came with his honor, therefore he is a learned child who has most of the skills you would expect of a legitimate child. The one thing he has that most people do not, is a major need to prove himself to all because of him being baseborn.


    Godfrey Stark, First of his name, Protector of Moat Cailin
    WIP


    Cordbury Stark, First of his name, Lord of Bear Island
    WIP


    Richard Stark, Freedman Merchant
    Richard Stark is the younger brother of Eddard, after seeing Eddard marriend and with sons he left Winterfell. He had never been much good with weapons of any kind and found that he prefered to count coins, and read books. These queer tastes led him onto the path of becoming a Merchant. He has decided to start this career as a Merchant down in the lands near King's Landing, hoping that his name shall not be used against him or to discriminate he is starting off in the world with next to no coin and none of the comforts he is used to.


    Robb Umber
    He decided to join the watch when he was far from his father's seat. He has close ties to the Starks as he was risen as a ward and became one of the family in all but name and blood. He is a fierce fighter and a fiercer drinker, know to get rowdy and look for a fight.


    Eddard Stark - 39 Years Old
    Richard Stark - 35 Years Old
    Godfrey Stark - 20 Years Old
    Benjen Stark - 19 Years Old
    Cordbury Stark - 17 Years Old

    House Targaryen and House Velaryon

    Coat of Arms

    Words :
    The Old, the True, the Brave
    Fire and Blood

    History
    wip. At least one of these is obvious.

    Major Characters

    Rhaenys Targaryen, Queen of Westeros, Lord of the Andals, First Men and Rhonyar
    Age : 27

    Elaena Targaryen
    Age : 27
    The twin sister of Rhaenys and could be said to be her polar opposite.
    Maegor Targaryen

    Lord Aenys Velaryion of Driftmark
    Overlord : Baratheon of King's Landing
    Land : Driftmark
    Age : 45
    The Lord of Driftmark since his father's death in 279 AL. Fought in the rebellion as a Targaryen loyalist up until when the Tyrells and Redwynes ceased fighting,and he swore fealty to the Baratheons and would be pardoned as he had done minimal in the war, but due to his house having the blood of old Valyria and the fact his wife was a Targaryen, but one who had virtually no claim to the throne, he would be harassed by others on claims of being a Targaryen loyalist, a Targaryen himself, or anything in between. While he has proven his loyalty to the Baratheons by fighting in the Greyjoy Rebellion as a commander in the Crownland fleet from his flagship the Pride of Driftmark, and against some rouge sellsails, he still harbors some loyalty to the Targaryen, but mainly those who are descended from his sister's marriage to Prince Aemon or relatives of his wife.

    Dameion Velaryion
    Age : 22
    The heir to Driftmark. Was to be married into House Targaryen but the marriage never occured due to the Rebellion. Since then has focused himself on becoming a excellent naval captain and archer, being groomed to succeed his father when the time comes.

    Minor Characters
    Prince Aemon Targaryen
    Age : 52
    The Mad King Aerys II's younger brother. Did not stay often in King's Landing after his brother returned from Duskendale, and watched as Aerys's insanity drove more and more lords into rebellion, and when the rebellion happened, along with his retainers and some mercenaries, remained in King's Landing to defend it from the Usurper's forces. When the Lannisters entered and began sacking the city, he broke out with his forces supported by some defenders to save his children from the Lannisters and go into exile along with his wife on some island.
    Jaehaerys Targaryen
    Age : 12
    The youngest of the four children of Prince Aemon, and the most annoying. Considered a brat by his mentor Davos, it seems he will amount to little other than being a royal brat with a sense that he deserves whatever he demands, and will lash out at anyone who denies him.
    Ser Davos

    It has been gone over with the mods, and they are the equivalent of Danaerys, so (very few) shall have knowledge of her.

    Name
    House Baratheon - The Lords of the Stormlands


    Crest



    Lord Leofrick

    Lord Leofrick Myst Baratheon
    Position: Lord (Stormlands and Mistwood)
    Age: 32
    Appearance:

    Personality: Dark. Noble, but very dark. Rules the Stormlands with an iron fist - good to those who follow his will, but very strong willed and doesn't take anything from anybody. A hard man, who has been very sad since his wife's death birthing her youngest child.
    Marital Status: Widower


    Sir Merek Mystweald

    Sir Merek Myst Baratheon
    Position: Heir
    Age: 17
    Appearance:

    Personality: Extremely chivalrous to the point of chauvinism, he basically memorised The White Man's Burden and lives by it and some old books of romantic chivalry. Extremely just to himself, he treats those inferior to himself as sub-human scum. He is also a very hard man like his father.
    Relation: Son of Leofrick
    Marital Status: Unmarried


    Sir Tobran

    Sir Tobran Mystweald
    Age: 15
    Appearance:

    Personality: One of the two 'black sheep' of the family, he is kind, but hardly a true Baratheon (it is said that he is more Mystweald than Baratheon). This can be seen by his duties and fighting style - whereas most of the Stormlands' rulers fight in the style of the lords of other houses, Tobran leads a small band of men that keep order in Mistwood's vast forest. He isn't the most chivalrous, and doesn't hesitate to resort to thievery, but he is a noble hoodlum in the style of Robin Hood.
    Relation: Son of Leofrick, brother of Merek
    Marital Status: Unmarried


    Fendrel

    Fendrel Mystweald
    Age: 65
    Appearance:

    Personality: Flat-out evil, he enjoys torturing and raping people (young and old, men and women, he's a flat-out sexual predator and pedophile). He hates the rest of the family, and styles himself Lord of Mistwood, as he was caught on the wrong side of the succession when Letholdus died and left the land to Leofrick.
    Relation: Uncle of Leofrick
    Marital Status: Widower (rumour has it he murdered his wife)


    Laurence

    Laurence Mystweald
    Age: 12
    Appearance:

    Personality: A young, kind boy who found himself unfortunately the son of the bastard Fendrel. After Fendrel apparently murdered Laurence's mother, he ran away and moved in with Leofrick.
    Relation: Cousin of Leofrick, son of Fendrel.
    Marital Status: Widower (rumour has it he murdered his wife)


    Maerwynne Mystweald

    Maerwynne Mystweald
    Age: 16
    Appearance:

    Personality: The realist of the group, she's somewhat depressing to talk to but when engaged she has a dizzying intellect.
    Relation: Older daughter of Leofrick
    Marital Status: Unmarried


    Elaine Mystweald

    Elaine Mystweald
    Age: 15
    Appearance:

    Personality: Shy
    Relation: Middle daughter of Leofrick
    Marital Status: Unmarried


    Alys Mystweald

    Alys Mystweald
    Age: 14
    Appearance:

    Personality: A beautiful, kind, happy, always laughing girl - the baby of the group, analogous to Lalaith from The Silmarillion (or The Children of Hurin). Everyone loves here, though Fendrel has tried in the past to kidap her and rape her, she does not know that and shows even HIM love.
    Relation: Youngest child of Leofrick
    Marital Status: Unmarried and closely guarded
