[OOC] Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

[Greenie]

Sorry I wasn't able to post today x.x Some issues at work, and only managed to come back home at 11 pm. I'm three quarter way through my reply though so unless things decide to screw me over tomorrow as well (I hope not!) I should have it up.

@agentmanatee Yes, Lyvia is perhaps one of the many bastards sired by Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain that Rides. Lyvia in particular had been sired between Ser Gregor and a brewer's daughter named Layna (awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Layna).

@MrDidact Whilst normally a bastard would only have the more base born name of Hill or Rivers, who would be around to disprove the claim of Lyvia? Ser Gregor is dead, and no doubt all of his men are dead as well, either through Arya killing them off due to her list, or when defending Cersei during the war of reconquest, directly related to combat deaths, executions for their war crimes, or if they somehow survived, they'd be a the wall, so far away.

Once I finish writing their character biographies, it will make sense. For now, the aura of mystery hangs like a thick fog.

[Catchphrase]

I gotta ask, in this scenario what happened to the Hound?

[agentmanatee]

@Catchphrase I'm actually more or lesss decidingh that atm. My sheet will be up today and, assuming it's acceptred, you'll see then

[Catchphrase]

@agentmanatee cool bananas

[MrDidact]

@Abefroeman I do like a good mystery, look forward to seeing what you come up with.

@Catchphrase I like to think the Hound settled down and has as much chicken as he wants.

@DrunkasaurusRex Do you have an ETA on your next post?

[MrDidact]

@DrunkasaurusRex It's up to you. Perhaps you could face off with @kingkonrad if you enter the lists, or @Masterkeun if you enter the melee.

@Greenie Sorry for missing your post, earlier. Don't sweat it, you've got time.

@MrDidact First try

Sandor Clegane

⟡ ⟡ ⟡

< Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane >
^{❰ Male ❱}

_{A F F I L I A T I O N}

House Clegane, Sworn to House Lannister, Guard of Sansa Stark

_{B I O G R A P H Y}

Sandor Clegane has never been known as a kind man and for good reason. His upbringing was one of violence and fear as his elder brother, Gregor, terrorized and permanently scarred his younger brother by forcing his head into a lit brazier. Sandor's father purposefully covered up Gregor's violent acts and personality in order to remain in favor with his liege Lord and court. After his brother was knighted Sandor became dissilusioned with the entire concept of Knighthood, believing an 'honorable warrior' to be a contradiction, his brother proof of this. Sandor himself refused Knighthood more than once as he, like his brother, became a trained soldier in service to house Lannister. In fact, Sandor's seeming loyalty to the house and willingness to serve earned him the moniker of 'The Hound', a nickname he embraced by having his helm shaped into a snarling dog. He would continue to serve House Lannister as Soldier and bodyguard until the War of the Five Kings.

Although remaining a Loyal bodyguard to King Joffrey and even joining the Kingsguard(bthough still refusing Knighthood) he refused to indulge the cruel boys violent outbursts, especially in regards to Sansa Stark. He refused to harm the girl in any way, unlike the Knights on the Kingsguard and even protected her several times, including saving her life from a group of rapists during a riot. Indeed, despite everything it could be said that Sandor Clegane cared for Sansa, certainly far more than Joffrey or Cersei during her time in Kings Landing. During the siege of Kings Landing by Lord Stannis Baratheon Sandor Clegane finally abandoned his duty as bodyguard to the King, choosing to flee from the field after dealing with more fire than he could stomach. Before Leaving he stopped at Sansa Starks quarters, and offered to take her back to Winterfell to her family. Unfourtanetly, Sansa was still afraid of him and in his drunken state he had her sing a song for him. It is possible if Sansa is to be believed that he then kissed her before departing for the north.

After a number of adventures involving Arya Stark and the Bortherhood without Banners Sandor attempted to leave the way of the sword but was unable too. Joining up with the Brotherhood without Banners, Sandor helped to fight in the Long Dark, fully expecting to die against the White walkers. He was fortunate enough not to. Afterwards Sandor decided to make good on his word. He sought out Sansa Stark, and again offered to protect her as he had that night in Kings Landing. This time Sansa Stark, tempered with age and experience now realized how it had been Sandor who protected her and cared for her when all else around her had sought to harm her. He was her only friend and companion in this time, and she knew he would give his life for her. And so, the Hound would protect the Little bird once more, until the end of his days.

In the years since Sandor Clegane has not left Sansa's presence except on her request, devoted to protecting her as he once was to King Joffrey. Under the Same token he protects her children and husband, Tyrion Lannister. Sandor and the Imp had never been enemies nor friends before, but a certain respect grew between them in the years as they aged. Jaime Lannister was always a ponce to Sandor, a good fighter but a ponce nonetheless. As Jaime has changed so has Sandor's opinion of him, finding more to respect than he ever had in the past. Sandor himself has changed over the years. With little in the way of war and without the savage, oppressive and violent rule of the old Lannisters much of his old anger and hate has faded, especially with the death of his brother... even though he to this day wishes he had been the one to put the monster down. He is still blunt, rude and direct but has lost much of his cruelty, especially spending so much time with Sansa whom he still call 'Littel Bird'. He even in the intervening years had a son, a bastard of some unknown whore. It is perhaps only with his son that you can see some of the old, harsh Sandor Clegane anymore.

In spite of his age Sandor Clegane is still a capable Warrior and quite strong. Although no where near as fast or fluid as he used to be he can still crush lesser men in personal combat and has continued to train as he has aged.

notes: Sandor has a 14 year old son named Petyr Hill, a bastard of an unknown mother(Sheet to come). He is sometimes called 'The pup' much to his chagrin.

[MrDidact]

@agentmanatee Really good sheet, I like the artwork you found. Although I must say, that the official term for the White Walker's apocalypse is the Long Night. Just my minor nitpick.

All you need to do is add a paragraph that's an overview of Sandor's life in the past 25 years and his current situation. Did he finally get himself knighted? Has he let go of his anger? Is he Captain of the Guard? Does he get along with Tyrion and Jaime? Just a little bit of stuff like that. Otherwise, you are completely fine to go.

[Catchphrase]

@agentmanatee I greatly approve of your sheet

[agentmanatee]

@MrDidact posted the edited sheet. Gonna do Petyr's, then prolly gonna post after reading all thats happened

[MrDidact]

@agentmanatee Cool sheet brah, can't wait to see him play in the game.

I might need to make a mini-update to respond to events. Nightwing isn't quite ready to proceed with the melee yet, so this update would just move other things along such as all the character interaction at the tourney. I will probably do this after Greenie posts and Manatee puts in their intro.

Or what do you guys think, should I update with the wedding feast, party, and bedding and have the melee happen out of sequence? I'd like to hear your opinions.

[Catchphrase]

@MrDidact melee first before the other stuff, also I may leave this rp I'm not really thinking right

[MrDidact]

@Catchphrase What's the problem?

[Catchphrase]

@MrDidact personal stuff

[MrDidact]

@Catchphrase Ah well if you have to drop out for the time being, it's no issue, you can come back at anytime. I hope everything works out for you.

[Greenie]

Or what do you guys think, should I update with the wedding feast, party, and bedding and have the melee happen out of sequence? I'd like to hear your opinions.

@MrDidact

Hmm I think going in sequence would be better, personally.

Also :'D Murphy's law for me, whatever could have gone wrong yesterday DID. I ate supper at like... 11:30? But things should settle down today *crosses fingers*.
