@Buddha

Don't worry, I'll have a Trout! She probably won't like the Gullies much anyways but it's the thought that counts!

[Dion]

@NarcissisticPotato That's more of a danger than a help, man!

Plot twist

[Nallore]

@BlackPanther Yeah the fox would totally end up killing the whole Hyland family. :P

[NarcissisticPotato]

@NarcissisticPotato That's more of a danger than a help, man!

@Buddha

Indeed but in times of worry, one must remind themselves that the Gullies have a character with Natalie Dormer as the FC so that's easily worth like 4+ people!

(A model of Leviathan)

◾ Positive Trait Meticulous Negative Trait Depressed Positive Trait Strong Negative Trait Cynical

◾ Personality:

Ithobal was born a spare to his older brother. This caused him to see himself as lesser, just as everyone else saw him. This caused him to be down on himself more than someone like him should be. He was born strong, just like a natural sailor. He also picked up the habit of being extremely detailed oriented while running his ship like clockwork. The feel of being lower than his brother, also caused him to not believe any compliments he receives. This also means he only believes in the one true God: gold.

◾ Family Members:

Not yet applicable (Will be edited accordingly)

◾ Biography:

Ithobal is the second son. The worst possible position to be born in for a royal. This also caused him to feel like he was not truly part of his family, since he was always seen as the second. He can be seen as a threat to his brother, but he honestly only sees himself as lower than his brother. He wanted to get out of his home in order to experience the real world, escape the shadow of his brother, and to not be murdered. Any of those reason on their own would be good enough, but with the three combined it only accelerated his exit.

While he was traveling he learned how to properly trade. He already knew how to sail, since he was raised to be good at sailing. He also learned how to handle himself with a trident, since from time to time his ship would run into pirates. His natural strength helped him in battle and it was also helpful when he needed to intimidate a merchant or two in order to get the best deal. His trade network has grown due to his meticulous planning and aggressive take overs of rivals.

His crown jewel of a ship is called "Leviathan." It was a gift from his father to him before he headed out into the world, and it was one of the greatest ships that Ithobal had ever seen. He used the large hull to carry large amounts of goods around the country. His family found it strange how willing Ithobal was [willing to deal with outsiders. Since, he felt that he never fit in with his family, it only made sense to move out into the world to find his place.

His merchant fleet has now expanded to about 20 ships and it allows him to always have trade going on even when the Leviathan wasn't actively participating in the trade. These ships are made to repel a single pirate attack at best. They are not true military threats, at least for now. They could hypothetically be outfitted for naval combat, but it would take a lot of time and resources. His trade connections help him to learn news of what is going around the kingdom.

He has been able to gain the admiration of his sailors, even if he doesn't want to admit it. Due to his ability both in battle and making his sailors rich, they feel that Ithobal is the right leader to keep them in their position of wealth and authority. Even when some aspects of their sailing falters, they do not doubt their leader. Ithobal may doubt himself though. That is much more likely, though he wouldn't allow any of this sailors see that. He dwells on any small mistake that he makes, even if he doesn't show it.

He arrived at the Quell Sea to convince his family let him win the hand of the Princess, in order to be a functional part of his family. There is also the fact that he learned that his brother abdicated, which left Ithobal next in line for the throone. He believes that if he guarantees the Princesses's hand, his family would accept him. The crazy part is that they already accept them, he just needs to learn to accept himself. If he is able to do that, he might realize that he is already in his dream position, and he would finally find meaning in his life.

I'm getting more excited for this roleplay as the time goes by!!

Do the other houses have a slogan they'd like?
I think "All in Good Time" is very nice for the Hyland family.

Let me know what you guys would like for Gully as well as the others if you're interested :)

[Pundii]

Working on my Kingsguard now, decided i'll make him a Gully to even out the families a bit :P

"From the Waves" is the best I could come up with for a Gully slogan, but i'm fairly terrible at them :P

Here we are, hope it's all good!

Lucan Gully

Ser Lucan Gully

_{"Men who want power usually lose their heads along with it."}

---

---

◾ Name:

Lucan Aedan Gully
"of the Quell Sea", a title given to him as a knight from the area of the Quell Sea
"Kingsblade", a title regarding his proficiency in combat, and position in the kingsguard
"Half-Trout", an insulting title, given by those who consider Lucan's servitude to the kingsguard a waste considering his family position - meant to imply he is as useful to the family as a bastard.

◾ Age:

27

◾ Gender:

Male

◾ Sexuality:

Heterosexual

◾ Origins:

The Quell Sea

◾ Residence:

Corevial Castle, Currently
The Gully Keep, Previously

---

---

◾ Brave ◾ Prideful ◾ Unambitious ◾ Sarcastic ◾

◾ Personality:

Lucan has always held a decent relationship with those in his family, but he has also retained the ire of some, including his father, over his lack of ambition. At no point in his life has Lucan showered any remote interest in the titles which are his by birth, and he has actively worked to ensure he does not need to take on such titles and lordships in the event of his father's death. Some in his family believe this lack of ambition to be a bad thing, and they view him as being against the cause of the Gully family. Others however view it positively, it makes Lucan less of an obstacle for their own ambitions, and humble a generally quite proud man.

Lucan is more than aware of his own skills and accomplishments, and he has no quarrel with touting it. He always has his head held high, and despite his lack of ambition or even major contribution to its efforts, he is incredibly proud of the Gully name. He makes it well known how his work in the kingsguard serves his family more than anything, he claims that often his position retains a great deal of pride and respect for the Gully's in the eyes of the king. He is most proud however, of his skill with a blade. A champion fighter, Lucan will flaunt his ability whenever given the opportunity.

It is not uncommon for Lucan to have that ability put to use in work other than protecting the king. From time to time, the king sends Lucan on particular missions of a nature which he can only entrust to those close to him in his court. In a trail-by-combat, Lucan is usually the go-to champion of the crown considering his skill, and to this day he has never lost a duel. Lucan is quite happy to take these missions and assignments, no matter how dangerous, he feels an immense thrill in the danger, and is considered by many to be quite brave.

Lucan fancies himself rather amusing and witty, and a friendly conversation with him is likely to result in a number of sarcastic or sly comments from the knight. This can be particularly irritating in certain cases, as sometimes it can be quite difficult to tell when Lucan is being sarcastic. This attitude also can make some believe he is unserious, or that he cares little about a situation or serious conversation should he be making such comments.

◾ Family Members:

Ithobal Gully - Brother
Amelia Gully - Sister
Tybalt Gully - Cousin

◾ Biography:

From a young age, Lucan knew quite well what lay before him as the first-born son of Lord Gully. It was explained to him at a very young age the incredible weight of responsibility, and the power which he would one day have. While others in his family, and around Lhivoria would have likely killed to be in his position, Lucan found he had no desire for such a life. He did not vocalize such desire for a great deal of time however. For much of his young life, he simply followed the training that was given to him, both as a lord and a warrior. He was squired to a knight in the Gully court, and served faithfully alongside him for many years, learning the ways of the blade.

As he was trained, Lucan saw as his younger siblings were born, saw how they took to the noble life in a far better manner than he did. Reaching the age of seventeen, Lucan was knighted properly, but did not immediately return to his home in the Quell Sea. Lucan spent some time in the Capital speaking with the king, eventually agreeing to take the vows to join the Kingsguard. He briefly returned home to explain his decision to his father. Considering the fact he'd kept his lack of ambition relatively secret from his parents, Lucan's father was quite displeased initially, but Lucan would not be convinced otherwise.

Leaving his home in the Quell Sea at the age of twenty, Lucan traveled to Corevial Castle and began his servitude in the Kingsguard. He served loyally for many years, and during his time there grew close with many members of the royal family, including the young princess. The king often assigned Lucan as his daughter's personal guard, should she have gone away, and there were more than a few instances in which Lucan actively defended the princess or other members of the royal family from bandits, assassins and others. He rose through the ranks relatively quickly, and came quite strongly into the King's graces as he became second-in-command of the Kingsguard.

It was at this point Lucan began his personal assignments for the king, unintentionally becoming more involved in the politics of the kingdom as a result. When the king wished to make a threat, or a 'suggestion' to a lord or family which had ideas against the king's interests, Lucan was often sent to deliver such a message. It was not uncommon for these threats to escalate, in which case Lucan had to put down one or two noblemen who took particular offence to the message of the king.

On one particular mission, Lucan was sent along with the lord-commander of the kingsguard to deliver such a message to a Vaernin noble family. The lords took great offense to the king's threat, and attacked both Lucan and the lord-commander. During the fight, the nobles who attacked them were killed, but so was the lord commander, stabbed through the back by one of the noble boys of the family. Lucan returned to the capital with the body of his superior so he could be properly buried, and afterward he was appointed as the new Lord-Commander, taking on his duties without question and continuing his work for the crown.

◾ Biography:

A trueborn summer child, Trystan was the youngest of the Hyland children. Being the youngest, he was given everything he asked for growing up. He was also kept away from all things deemed bad by his mother. Thus, even though he received all the proper training and education a trueborn son of a high lord would, he is still very shy and protected.

Through out his years, he has always looked up to his older brother, Edwin. To him, Edwin was everything he couldn't be. Handsome, a born leader, and a better swordsman than any he has ever seen. He strived to be like Edwin. However, in recent years he has become more rebellious. Striving to be even better than his brother has been his motivation in his actions lately...
