Sorry this took so damn long, life got in the way. I'm not 100% "with it" in terms of how the new sight works, so I apologies for any buggy images, weird paragraph breaks etc. House Sigil: [img=http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/157/b/3/house_reyne_of_castamere_grunge_flag_by_elthalen-d52hp9a.jpg] House Name: House Reyne House Words: Make haste when the lion wakes. House Decription/General Information (optional): House Reyne are vassals of House Lannister, and are second in wealth only to their liege lords. Throughout the Dance with Dragons House Reyne were supporters of Aegon II, and fought a costly battle in an attempt to support his ascension to the Iron Throne. Lord Domeric Reyne, the then Lord of Castamere, was a prominent player in the turbulent conflict, pouring large amounts of troops and resources into the war. Lord Domeric was a part of a host that was sent eastwards to help reinforce Ser Criston Cole at Harrenhal, however they were intercepted by infantry under the command of several Lords of the Riverlands, ultimately resulting in a crushing defeat for the greens, and the death of Lord Domeric. For a short while afterwards the House of Reyne was thrown into disarray, up until the point in time when a young Lord Darius managed to secure dominance over the fragmented house, quickly restoring his lineage back to its former affluence. While Lord Darius’ reign was one of prominence and prosperity, it was not long before his passing, due to a fatal affliction. Next in like came Abelar Reyne, the current lord of Castamere. While lacking in physical strength, Abelar’s game is one played best from the shadows, a battle of wits and intellect, using blackmail and bribery to ensure that House Reyne’s position of power is secured and undisputed. Name: Abelar Reyne-The Sly lion. Age: 35 Appearance: [img=http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo276/metalsonic2nd/Lars_zps282256a2.jpg?t=1390579229] Personality: His immense intelligence being his most deadly weapon, Abelar is cunning and calculating, his mind a vast mental bastion of knowledge. While in truth he is arrogant and has a complete disregard for social niceties, the Lord of Castamere is able to conjure an impeccable façade of grace and courtesy, should the situation demand it of him. Abelar cares little and less for honour and duty, his only true care in the world being the preservation of his house, but more importantly his own survival. He has surrounded himself with an enormous network of spies and informants, operating on every level of society and walk of life, each one keeping him informed as to the movements of noble lords and ladies from houses great and small, and the lowly chatter of the seemingly unimportant smallfolk. Name: Marik Reyne-The Dread lion. Age: 19 Appearance: [img= http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo276/metalsonic2nd/JamieLannister_zps10496e20.jpg?t=1390562191] Personality: A black-hearted killer, vicious, brutal and terrifyingly wily; The Dread lion of Castamere inspires fear in all but the hardest of men. Marik revels in inflicting pain upon others and has a dry, sadistic sense of humour. Incapable of empathy, he is even more uncaring and conceited than his lord father, the plights of others never even registering in his twisted mind. Marik has very few who he would considers friends, but often spends his time amongst the more barbaric of his father’s soldiers, caring little for the men and women of court. The Dread lion is an accomplished fighter, being an expert with most forms of conventional weaponry. While not a tactical thinker, Marik can easily hold his own against multiple advisers; his fluid and fast swordsmanship the stuff of fables. In recent times hushed voices have begun to whisper of a towering figure roaming the Westerlands, stalking through grimy streets in the dead of night and preying on unfortunate passers-by, attacking seemingly at random, before vanishing into the darkness. Marik wields Harbinger, the broadsword originally used by Domeric Reyne during the Dance with Dragons. Name: Ravella Reyne-The Laughing lioness. Age: 19 Appearance: [img= http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo276/metalsonic2nd/Malkavian_zps1ca23b84.jpg?t=1390576874] Personality: If one were to call Marik’s twin sister as inhumane and heartless she would most likely thank them for their kind compliments, before returning to whatever twisted corner of her warped consciousness she was currently seeking solace within. So many stories and so much speculation surround the young women that it is almost impossible to tell the fact from the fiction. Some say that she bathes in the blood of young virgin girls to rejuvenate her pale skin, whilst others would claim that she cannibalises the flesh of fledgling servants, or feasts on the hearts of those who take her fancy. Whether any of this is true is highly debatable, however those who have had the chance of encountering the Laughing lioness will vogue for the aura of unease that radiates off of her when she emits her shrill laughter or the horrific twitching in her feral, misshapen eyes. No one is truly sure what dark thoughts plague her afflicted mind, but she has been known to be jubilant and joyous one moment, skittish and suspicious the next, and then frightfully ferocious soon after. Name: Tytos Reyne-The Red lion. Age: 17 Appearance: [img=http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo276/metalsonic2nd/Jonsnow_zps9cd5288d.jpg?t=1390575701] Personality: Tytos is rather unlike the other members of house Reyne; he is chivalrous, courtly and kind. The young Reyne is admired by those at court and adored by the smallfolk, a shining example of heroism and gentility. Despite all of his gallant traits, Tytos possesses a lustful streak, having courted and deflowered many maidens. While perhaps not quite as lethal with a sword as his brother, and not nearly as skilled with such a vast variety of weapons as Marik, Tytos would still be considered a fine swordsman by the standards of most; having practiced his expertise with the blade for the best part of his life. His sword is Heartseeker; a skilfully forged blade that the young lord wields with the expertise of a master swordsman. Name: Leonella Reyne-The Trickster lioness. Age: 16 Appearance: [img=http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo276/metalsonic2nd/Fiora_zps71c18a36.jpg?t=1390578588] Personality: He father’s daughter; Leonella is as equally as intelligent and cunning as the Lord of Castamere. Even more skilled in the art of deception than Abelar, She uses every asset at her disposal to manipulate others into doing her bidding, and is not above stepping on others, even family, to get what she wants. Leonella has an immense mistrust of almost everyone around her, and keeps a watchful eye monitoring anyone/thing that might possibly be perceived as a threat.
