!Name: Alistair Creyon
Age: 22
Place of Birth: Bronzegate
Current Place of Residence: Bronzegate
House: House Creyon, affiliated with house Baratheon.
Family:
Father: Lord Edwynn Creyon. He is aged 60 years, but has a sickness.
Mother: Aceline Elton. She is 51 and still alive.
Sister: Nadine Creyond. She is 15, and is alive.
Uncle: Richard Creyon. He is probably still alive, joined the night's watch.
Appearance:
Garb: Alistair usually wears white/beige shirts, under a long thick coat. That coat is coloured red and is finished with Blue. There is a white Horse on it's back, which is his family's banner. The coat stretched to just under his knees. There is a small part of the breeches visible, before it turns into the leather of his boots.
Armour:
Plate Covers protect Alistair's feet from anything falling on it, or something in that spirit.
He has chain mail protecting his legs from slashes of swords, or impacts from arrows. He didn't want to have plating there as it would limit his movement.
Alistair wears a light and thin plate of steel to cover his torso. Even though it isn't really thick and therefore not extremely protective, it does give him much mobility so he can 'dodge' the hacks and slashes.
leather spaulders somewhat protect his shoulders, but it doesn't decrease his ability to swing a sword.
The entirity of his arm is covered in a light mail. It doesn't protect him like a plate would, but it does give his mother some faith.
There is a helmet, somewhere, Alistair just decided he didn't want to wear a helmet. It would lessen his sight and he'd be unable to see the enemy coming.
Height: 6.1 ft.
Weight: 194.5 pounds
Personality:
Alistair is a calm man, and won't speak unless spoken to. Before making any decision, he compares to good and the bad things. So he isn't one for rash decisions. He enjoys sparring with the soldiers, and partially training them. This to ensure that his men are always ready to fight. He loves his mother and sister, and will give his life so that they would live another day. Alistair is also fixed on making his father proud of him. Though it's hard to make his father proud, as he has no brothers or cousins to best.

Weapons: (Your characters weapon(s) of choice. Valerian Steel is only allowed if the character had one in the books, e.g Eddard Stark and Ice.)
Weapons: Alistair is trained in a large variety of weapons, but prefers the longsword he was given for his 18th nameday. So for it has only been used once, because while training, he prefers to use a regular sword, as to not damage his. Even though it can also be used from horseback, Alistair prefers to use it while standing next to his fellow soldiers.
Skills:
Alistair was trained in swordsmanship by the master at arms from Bronzegate. He taught him how to use a sword, and how to kill with it. He also taught Alistair how to ride a horse. At the age of 12, he became the squire of a knight, who taught him even more. He did feel like a servant though, and is still surprised that he managed to hold it out.
His father taught him strategies as well, as he would lead the soldiers when his father would die. He learned about morale and other things. When he was little, his father would shout at him for not understanding it. Though he didn't understand everything until he had gotten real life experience. Now that he'd gotten experience in warfare, he slowly began to remind his lessons and their meaning.
History:
Alistair was born as the son of Lord Edwynn Creyon. His mother wasn't of noble birth, and not from Westeros. His mother always took care of him, like most mothers do. She didn't want her son being trained to kill from a young age, but she also knew that it wasn't up to her to decide that. When he grew up, he learned the ways of the sword at a young age. The master at arms taught him as much as he could. Finally, when he was 12, he became some knight's squire. He had to do simple but important tasks like saddling the man's horse or caring for the his weapons and armour. He felt like a servant, but finally, on his 18th, he was knighted. His father was proud of him, but it was something he expected his son to become.
When he was a knight, his father began to teach him as well. Only not about fighting. Alistair was taught how to position men, and how to keep the spirit high. He learned that, if an army suffers much casualties, they want to go home and lose the spirit to fight. While on the other hand, if an army kills much men and wins battles, they gain confidence in themselves and their comrades, and therefore fight harder. His father also made him learn the houses, their cities, their banners and their members. He didn't, and still doesn't understand why he had to know all those things. He just thought that it was more important to know the history of their house.
When he was 19, his father and the the lord of Highever, a city only about a day's ride from Bronzegate, arranged a marriage between Alistair and Everen, the daughter of Highever's lord. He didn't really know her well. He'd seen her a few times during parties and those things, but he never really spoke to her, the occasional 'hello' set aside. A few months later, they were married. By now he just had his 20th nameday. The wedding was big, but sadly enough also very boring. Alistair never really liked these things, like socializing with lords and other people. But he also knew that these things were very important to the house and for when he would be lord. Only a few weeks after they were married, she died of a sickness Alistair's father would get from her.
Just as the war started, Alistair's father died, making him lord of Bronzegate.
