Post by Ser Zaric Blackmont on May 18, 2008 14:43:57 GMT -5
Name: Ser Zaric Blackmont
Age: 28 (born 1470)
Nationality: Dornish
Byname: The Wasp Knight, The Butcher of Uplands
Skills 80 – Axe fighting 70 – Horsemanship 70 – Battle Tactics (Raiding) 60 – Scouting 60 – Spear-fighting 60 – Intimidation
Personal History
Zaric was born the second son of Lord Orthos Blackmont and Lady Jenna Blackmont (nee Marbrand). He was a constant companion to his mother, whom he adored. The youth lived in fear of his father, the domineering and violent Vulture, and so he latched onto his mother, who raised him as a considerate young man. Lady Jenna’s dreams of a son in her image died with her when Zaric was only eight years old. Although she was gone, her specter remained and he strove harder to comport himself in a manner she would find pleasing. The second son of Blackmont had the natural athleticism of the men of his family and was studious in his pursuit of learning the skills of a knight (he aspired to become a knight of the Kingsguard).
Lord Orthos trained his son as appropriate, but he had time only more his eldest son and heir Andrey and would leave Zaric to his own devices. But heightened tensions between the ancient rivals of their house, Irwyn of Uplands, put the family in a threatened position and Zaric suited up for war and joined his father and brother in the fight against the bannermen of the Tyrells. The violence peaked with the death of Lord Orthos and bitterness over his loss and pervaded every aspect of daily life in Blackmont Keep. The fury of the defeated house could not be contained.
The new Lord had little love for his brother, but he used the aspiring knight to institute a pogrom of butchery against the smallfolk, knights, and lords of House Irwyn. Zaric led the warband that achieved the ultimate revenge, ravaging the lands and women of the enemy house for three days, leading up to the death of the heir to Uplands when he rode out to meet the raiders. The attack earned Zaric the moniker of the Butcher of Uplands, which he wears proudly to this day.
House Qorgyle did nothing in response to protests and Zaric discovered a penchant for casual violence, sexual brutality, and nearly inhuman cruelty that has never left him. It was these years of raids and murder that changed the quiet, good-natured boy into one of the most feared knights in Dorne – the Wasp Knight.
Knight at age nineteen, Ser Zaric has served faithfully at his brother’s side, his fist to project on those who displease Blackmont. But having always been a natural competitor to Lord Andrey, their relationship deteriorated over time until Zaric had no choice but to leave or commit fratricide. He chose to leave and seeks a place within the household of his liege, the ruler of House Qorgyle.
Description
Zaric is just short of six feet in height and is athletically built with broad shoulders and chest, a slender waist, and muscular arms and legs. The Wasp Knight’s lustrous jet black hair is parted in the middle and frames the sides of his handsome, chiseled face. Zaric has a sharply aquiline nose, misty light blue eyes, and reddish-brown skin from long hours in the sun. He has thin, cruel lips and a lazy left eye. The Wasp Knight wears scalemail into battle to maximize on his speed and strength, and wields a wicked long-handled battleaxe with a cruel spike on the end of the haft. He is arrogant and proud, carrying himself with a deadly confidence and grace that can shake the will of weaker men. He has no peer in his hatred and has had several scandals with the young women of several Dornish houses. Ser Zaric is aloof and soft-spoken, speaking bluntly with little thought for the sensibilities and feelings of others when he does. He is fierce and warlike, utterly fearless with steel in hand. His personal heraldry is a black wasp on a yellow field.

My second died. Hence, a new second. 1) Character Name: Lord Tristifer Mudd 2) Character Age: 19 3) Character Nationality (Stormlands, The Reach, etc): Riverlands 4) Character Byname: 5) Character Skillpoint Distribution (out of 300):Flail: 75 Battle Command: 65 Naval Warfare: 65 Drinking: 65 8) Character Personal History: Tristifer was born in 1481, and soon became a child lord when his father, Lord Allester Mudd, was slain by Ser Arthur Royce of the Vale during the River War. His mother, Lady Jenna Hawick, passed away not long after. His uncle, Ser Terrence Mudd, ruled the Oldstones until Tristifer turned fifteen years of age. The young lord has refused to marry thus far, preferring to have his fun. He has competed in several tourneys and performed admirably, longing to become a great knight. He has trained, drank, fucked, and trained during the last three years of his life. He has recently rode north with Lord Mallister's host with fifty of his men. 9) Character Physical Description: Tristifer is tall and athletic, having just grown into his body-- he is now a man. Many women find him handsome, though he is no Jaime Lannister or Rhaegar Targaryen, having more of a rugged and self-willing attractiveness to him. His hair is a dark black, as are his brows and shadow-beard, that never is seen unkept or completely smooth. His eyes are a bright blue, and his nose is a surprisingly pleasant feature despite being broken several times. Somehow the man makes it work. His teeth are whiter that usual and naturally straight. His build is a mix between lithe muscles and broad chested; he fits neither category completely but could be placed in both. 10) Character Reputation: His reputation is that of an outgoing, charismatic young lord, and a willing fighter.

He grew up on the streets of Braavos until he was twelve when he was caught trying to pickpocket a man and was caught by city watchmen. Using the skills he learned on the streets of Braavos he escaped his cell and killed the two guards on watch. So after that a man in a black and white robe approached him and took him to the temple of the Many-Faced God. For the next ten years of his life he was trained as a Faceless Man until a day came where he learned his superiors were more political and he thought. They were selecting targets without payments to further their own plans. He then killed his handler and went into hiding for the past three years. Recently he has ended up in King’s Landing looking to take a station with a lord perhaps.
Character Physical Description: An average looking man who is rarely noticed. He has shoulder length brown hair; 5’9” and a cold hard look in his eye.

Edit: I have been informed that assassinations roll your weapon skill and your stealth and that an "assassination" skill does not apply. Crake, if that is not the case please let me know and I will change my skills back to 75 assassination.

Lord Domeric Tyrell
26 years old
80 Greatsword 70 Intrigue 70 Ambush 70 Battle command 70 Diplomacy 40 Charm
Lord Domeric Tyrell was born in 1472 to Lord Mason Tyrell and Lady Ophelia Hightower. A strong heir, he went through the trials of losing all four of his younger siblings in a boating accident on the Mander in 1489. His mother soon killed herself with sweetslap. In his anger and frustration, he led the armies of the Mander into several large scale battles, culminating in a defeat to the Ironborn at the Battle of Harlaw in 1492. Coming home with a better sense of the world, he swiftly worked on his already keen skills of dealing with people and avoiding violence through diplomacy. He married Lady Belle Rowan in 1490, but she died during the miscarriage of their first child in 1496. Since then, he has looked around Westeros for a bride, and hopes the wedding of Lord Caravel will provide him with a chance to meet some women he has yet to become acquainted with.
He has an odd affinity for the North, having been rescued off a disastrous battle off the Iron Islands by a northern fishing boat. He is also on good terms with most of the other lands, though he loathes Ser Zaric Blackmont for his sheer brutality.
Physically Lord Domeric is very fit and normal height and weight, though practice with his greatsword Ironfel has broadened his chest and arms. He never jousts on account of finding it a largely useless diversion, though he is a known gambler and will bet on near anything. He does not chase maidens or women in the way other men might, and he seldom drinks. He has reddish hair and green eyes, and some have made the joking comparison that he looks oddly like a Tully.
Reputation: 9 years ago any man would have said the Tyrell heir would be a fire that burned too bright too quickly, but since his defeat in the Battle of Harlaw, that opinion has changed. He makes long term plans and seldom acts quickly, but his bannermen respect him now for his clever plans and generosity.

2) Character Age: 25
3) Character Nationality: The North
7) Character's Third Name/ Skillpoint Distribution (out of 200): Archery: 65 Scouting: 50 Ambush: 45 Sword: 40
8) Character Personal History: Raised on a farm a half days ride from the Dreadfort Harwin always assumed he would inherit the family farm until the day wildlings, that had climbed over the wall, killed his family and burnt the farm. Harwin was spared only because he was at the Dreadfort town picking up new tools for his father. When he returned to the farm and discovered what had happened he returned to the Dreadfort and took up service as a man-at-arms for Lord Bolton. Soon, because of his skill in scouting, he became the leader of Bolton's outriders. When Jon Bolton marched to the Nightfort to fight the wildlings Harwin accompanied him and, after the battle, decided to swear himself to the Night's Watch in memory of his slaughtered family.
9) Character Physical Description: Strangely enough, Harwin looks like a Bolton. With the lifeless black hair and the pale skin he has often been mistaken for one of Lord Bolton's sons. However, while most Bolton eyes are dead and only light up while inflicting pain, Harwin has a fire burning constantly behind his eyes.
10) Character Reputation: Respected at the Dreadfort and ready to make a name for himself in the Night's Watch.
