Enoch's PC:

Keyth Storm

Disgraced Maester-in-training
Son of Ser Eduard Storm, Keyth was sent to Oldtown to serve as a novice in the Citadel, serving in the Rookery until some undisclosed scandal forced him to withdraw; his family sent him across the Narrow Sea until the furor died down.
He lived in Myr for a few years before leaving for Tyrosh, where he settled down until the rise of the Nine. During that time he befriended the ruler of Tyrosh, even saving him from a poisoning attempt while the Nine advanced on Tyrosh. His success turned to ashes, however; within months the city fell and his friend was executed. Keyth fled back across the Narrow Sea, haunted by the fall of Tyrosh and determined to avenge his friend.

Gear: Castle forged Bastard sword (+1 on attack rolls), 3 throwing (Hand) axes, Dagger, Chain Mail, tbd

Background: Born the 4th and last of the Valmont children; Asher grew up in the shadow of his older brothers and was largely left to follow his own goals due to his healthy 'heir and spare' siblings. With this being the case; the young lad threw himself into his chosen goal of becoming a legendary swordsman. At the age of 16; with the Stormlands noticeably at peace and no wars looming in Westeros for him to test his fighting skills; Asher decided to hop a ship for the Free Cities and try his luck at being a sellsword. The next 3 years were certainly trying and while he rapidly became a very good swordsman; he also learned the hard-way about the darker side of being a legendary swordsman. Still, it wasn't all bad as after defeating a legendary Dothraki warrior in single combat; though at the cost of being forever afterwards marked by the Arakh scar he received on his neck and jaw; he gained the respect and service of another Dothraki warrior by the name of Voqarro. Voqarro pledged to serve him for life and so far he has not had any reason to regret the partnership of his capable warrior companion. The two have started teaching each other bits of the other's language and both are always eager to become better swordsmen.

Rusty Tincanne · #4 Post by **Rusty Tincanne** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:56 am

Name: Darryn Drinkwater
Player: Rusty Tincanne
House: Valmont

Age: Adult
Status: 2 – retainer (Master of the Hunt)
Role: Expert (hunter)/Rogue

Determine Background: After having been orphaned at a young age, Darryn Drinkwater was raised by his woodsman-uncle from whom he learned to shoot a bow and live off the land. When he became a man-grown he used those skills to journey through the southern parts of Westeros, enjoying the life of a freeman. Late one summer he found himself being chased through the parts of the Reach for hunting (uninvited) on the lands of Lord Foller, a petty, lesser lord in that region. Darryn fled home to the Stormlands to avoid punishment.

A year later, with Winter upon the lands, Darryn found himself cold and hungry. He heard of a small tournament being hosted by Lord Valmont, and desperate to earn coin for women, shelter and clothing, he entered. He won the hunting contest, bringing down an albino stag which had been released. Due to the speed at which he had tracked and killed the stag, Darryn was asked to stay on as a huntsman of the house. He graduated to Master of the Hunt when his predecessor died hunting a boar.

Though he respects Lord Valmont greatly, Darryn clearly enjoys the luxuries his position affords him: easy access to drink, women, food and hunting. He has even escorted other visiting lords hunting, including Armond(?) Connington.

Goal: Security; Darryn wants to ensure he has continued access to the Lord’s woods, table, ale and wenches.
Motivation: Stability; Darryn enjoys the lifestyle Lord Valmont allows him and will work to keep the Valmont name/reputation/wealth stable.
Virtue: Dutiful; Ever appreciative of his current station, Darryn works to please his Lord.
Vice: Libido; Darryn has an appetite for sex. He likely has a few bastard children born from serving wenches and farmers' daughters.

Ser Eduard Storm, The Scarlet Knight
Sworn Knight, Bastard Brother of the Lord

Age: Middle Aged (43 years)
Status: 3
Role: Leader (Knight)

Eduard is strong and handsome with an aura of authority that overcomes his other flaws. He inspires loyalty in those closest to him and has a cadre of dedicated veterans. He would be a fitting Lord (especially in his own opinion), but due to his bastard birth has never had anything handed to him. He instead serves his brother, trying (unsuccessfully so far) to get something lasting, such as being named his own banner house. He is a man immersed in hard realities, rolewise, a "cleaner" and problem solver for other nobles. While he and his brother might conflict, he was acknowledge and they were raised together... he is protective of the House and of his nephews and son.

Background:
* 233 AL (26 years before game start): Fought with his brother against outlaw Lord Peake while laying siege to his castle of Starpike in the Dornish Marches (the Reach side). It was a bloody siege in defensible, mountainous terrain and so made them appreciate the holdings of House Valmont. His brother's arm was crushed; Eduard became his champion thereafter.
* 234 AL: At 20 years old, he brought home his wounded brother and a beautiful Dornish girl as his bride. They had a whirlwind passionate romance at first, and their son, Keyth, soon followed in 235 AL.
* 236 AL (23 years before game start): One of those who rose to crush the 4th Blackfyre Rebellion at the Battle of Wendwater Bridge; knighted afterward. Swore himself to House Valmont and built up the Crimson Riders as he patrolled their lands, kept the peace, and handled the Lord's business (all while avoiding his uncomfortably-emotional wife and young child).
* 245 AL (14 years before game start): His wife died of sickness in the long winter, ther son only 10 years old. He tried to step up as a dad but ended up in conflict with his preteen greiving son. Agreed to send him to the Citadel.

Marullus: a very minor correction; but the 4th Blackfyre Rebellion saw very few Westerosi rise for the REBELS and the royalists lost less than a hundred men killed at the Battle of Wendwater Bridge; plenty of Houses rose for the King.

I just wanted to make sure that was understood.

Marullus · #7 Post by **Marullus** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 8:27 pm

I totally misunderstood that, so thank you! I will fix the sheet in a moment. I will also buy a tourney lance and shield since we're going to tournament at game start. I now read the combat chapter and realized I made a glass cannon who wouldn't have survived battle let alone three campaigns, so shifted attributes.

max_vale · #8 Post by **max_vale** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 10:14 pm

Not necessarily; keep in mind that the lethality for this game (in my opinion anyway) is greatly overblown…..basically, people with really high skill CAN force wounds; but if average rolls are made, combat can last a LONG time….and it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to one-hit kill anyone except really minor mooks.

But feel free to modify whatever you like!
