[X]Prince Daemon: The Rogue Prince, the exact opposite of his brother, callus, intelligent, and daring. He is a brilliant warrior, a Dragonriders of great power, with a powerful dragon by his side in the Blood Wyrm. There is just one problem. He does not like being told what to do, and he is expected to return to his wife, Rhea, the Bronze of Gulltown. However, he might jump at an opportunity to leave the Vale. If you catch his interest and attention.

It would be extremely weird to me to not be of the Faith.

Daemon because he is pretty martial type guy and able to teach us how to fly our dragon.

Faith because really want to make that Silent Sisters connection and there are people in the Faith that know sign language. Doesn't hurt having the major religion in your corner.

I don't want Lucien to be particularly pious so picking the Seven and then ignoring it 90% of the time is my choice.
 
[X]Lord Corlys the Sea Snake: The Sea Snake is an oft-forgotten, but no less important member of the family… well in terms of events. He had been the Admiral to your father in his last adventures and made your father very rich. Though he does not like your father due to events that you do not know about, he is willing and able to bring you back into the fold.

Relatively safe choice; also one of a few Targs with a half-way good relationship with their spouse

I think that the religion aspect should be a very important aspect of the character because, as much as I respect George, he REALLY underestimated just how important religion was to medieval society.

The preacher wasn't some guy your family drags you to every weekend, he's a representative of an entire way of life that permeates everything you know.

The real life septas and septs didn't just serve as preachers, they served in damn well every function of society at the time. Education, administration, health, you name it, a religious institute is gonna be involved. You can't separate medieval society and religion, because there's a good argument to be made that medieval society WAS religion.

its going to be important in some ways. But not the focus, because we are not really part of the governance of this kingdom. In fact, we're going to be an outlier unless you chose to get involved. to use an archaic term... We're a adventurerer that happens to live in a feudal society, that does not really have roots

Not nearly as much as others, as, unless you chose to interact with them: The people who run your faiths (the storm singers, septons, red priests) will either be bound to their own septs, be in very small number, or far away in the east.

The only ones who will reasonably be seen on a consistent basis will be the boys from the faith of the seven.

And the Old Gods just don't have that sort of hierarchy.

Or in Magoose Terms: I just wanted to give you all the choice to flesh out the MC, and give stats and bonuses to it.

A statement about the next coming omake:

Turns out, Dad just really hates slavers.

I don't see the appeal of Corlys. He doesn't have the means to help us improve one of our most unique and useful trait: being a dragon rider. Whereas with Daemon, Hightower, or Viserys, there's varying degrees of dragon lore to be learned. As for sailing, martial prowess, and even political savy, we always have Lucien's parents to rely on. Dragon riding/dragon lore, however, we don't really have anyone close to teach us.

Concerning Lucien's faith, I don't really have a preference. I just feel like The Seven is the most plausible...
 
In Taverns Dreams

    • In Taverns Dreams:

    (Valaar POV)

    Myr, how you missed the city. Well actually you didn't, but the lads surely did, because they knew that there was going to be much profit in Lys. Or rather they knew there would be much whoring at the City. Despite the lads being unmarried and not tied down, you make sure that they didn't get themselves into debt.

    Their mothers would be very upset if they wound up in prison, and you were not in the mood to pay ransoms.

    Yet as you sat, drinking at the tavern, you were utterly bewildered when you heard a horn. A merchant's horn. The Horn of the Magistrate.

    And he never sounded the horn unless he wanted to speak to someone.

    And in came the Grand Admiral of the Narrow sea, for the Triarchy. Craghas Drahar. Otherwise known as the Crabfeeder. A vile vicious bastard that had on many occasions tried to arrest you on trumped-up charges, to get your ship, and crew to serve him.

    Yet here he waited, before he joined the table, making the entire tavern vacate.

    "Silent one." He said with a glare as he took a seat, a knife twirling around as you eyed him. "Have you heard the news?"

    You nodded as you leaned back into your seat. "The Triarchy now rules Myr." Yes you had heard about it, the Eternal Alliance that would dominate southern Essosi politics. If it could actually survive longer than a decade.

    You did not speak, instead you just rolled your eyes. The Crabfeeder was not amused at the lack of reaction, as her lurched forward and grabbed you. "It would be very well that I kill you now, a thorn in my side that was always escaping and smuggling. Even if I had no proof, Westerosi are all criminals and vagabonds, who have no respect for civilization, and order."

    Coming from a man who feeds people to crabs? Rich as a Lysini whore.

    Why haven't you? Because you can't.

    The Crab Feeder let go. "There is a tax now on Westerosi ships. All Westerosi ships. Five hundred dragons."

    And now he was pissing you off. "If you don't pay them, your ship will be seized, and its crew…" He gave a smile. "Well, The slave markets have become very bare as of late, of Westerosi slaves."

    You stood up to face him. "You have one hour." He ordered. "The gold, or your life? What is more important?"

    Honor, but since he had none, you wouldn't mind if you did that. He was a fool, he should have captured you.

    You whistled, and your crew stood up and ran towards the ship. The lads knew that they would die soon. Best do what you came here for them.

    The Crab Feeder was quiet, but he then smiled. "Goodbye Valaar."

    You then nodded.

    Well time to ruin his day.
    --------------------------------------------------

    The ship was full of women. Many of them were going to be forced into becoming pillow slaves or worse.

    And you had just stolen three ships worth of them. The Lads did well.

    You looked to your first mate. "Everything is in order." You signed and he nodded. "Set sail to Westeros, Storm's end, I'm sure Lord Baratheon will be pleased to learn about how many of his daughters are being returned to the Stormlands."

    "We still haven't found out who is running the operation to get slaves out of Westeros Captian?" His first mate replied.

    "But they do not know who is disrupting their slave trade. Now to the North gentlemen." You signed.

    "And send a rider to King's Landing. Tell the Old King that the mission was accomplished."

    AN: Well it turns out that dear old Dad is one badass dude.

    Why is everyone voting for some impulsive and callous responsibility ducker who doesn't give a damn about lucien beyond avoiding his wife.
     
    So just so you know: Dad decided to fuck over his enemies by working for the Crown to disrupt the Essosi Slave Trade.

    A truly based revenge:V

    Because he's the best Dragonrider that won't be dead in three years. He's also a really good regular fighter.

    Soon he might upgrade to Admiral of the Royal Fleet.

    Because guess what, he's one of the few people who can. and Corlys might be losing that title at court because of... Well...

    You know the Baelon's on a timer right? And there is a little great council coming?

    OP Dad, if this had been a modern setting he would basically be a Super Spy or a member of Black Ops that retired and decided to come back out of retirement to show the young'uns how it's done, and because his past life has decided to come back knocking.
