Faction:	The North

Occupation:	Knight?
Rank:	Lord
Age:	17

Description

Of average height, the young Stark is maybe seventeen or eighteen, and is thin and wiry. His cheekbones are high and his features are just a little sharp, betraying a certain sense of youth. His hair is thick and a little unruly, dark and curly, and rarely does what he wants it to. His eyes are a dark grey-blue.

He generally dresses in toned-down clothes in earthy colors - greys, dark greens, blacks. His clothing's generally well-made, though, and clean - a quiet nod towards comfortable living.

Background

Growing up, Andolin was the product of a life of being assured that he would never actually have to be the one in charge, and yet reaped the benefits of being in one of the great houses; he was a cocky, overconfident child who spent most of his days riding and hunting and training with some of the other similarly aged children. He showed an early talent in horseback riding and archery, and thus these talents were honed above all others. He's practically lived on a horse since an early age.

However, things change; at sixteen, he was involved in a terrible hunting accident. It was mundane - his horse tripped and lost its footing, and both boy and horse went crashing to the ground. He came out of the ordeal with a broken leg - and, although the healers did a remarkable job with it, when it was healed the boy was left with terrible pain that came and went with the cold. Which, in the north, is unfortunately frequent.

He was recently sent south to Oldtown; the Lord of Winterfell was there, after all, and far enough south to where the cold of the north wouldn't plague him so much.

After spending some time in Oldtown, he and Loryn hunted down a great beast. He left for a time afterward to visit Winterfell, but came back after a few months; upon his arrival, Malcolm offered him knighthood for the slaying of the beast and his proficiency in the Wildling battles. He was reluctant, but eventually took the offer.

RP Hooks

Horseman: He's at home on horseback, even after his recent accident. He enjoys going out riding, even just in leisure.
Hunting: He's good at it, but after the recent incident is a little more timid than he used to be.
Archery: Turns out he's a pretty decent shot?
Artist: Being laid up for awhile brings one to develop other talents, and drawing turned out to be one of those he was drawn to.
Socializing: He's making more of an effort nowadays.
Recently Knighted: Even he really has no idea what the hell he's doing.

Blue

Blue is his horse, and is a big, drafty Northern animal who is gentle as they come. For such a talented horseman, it seems like this horse may be a bit too gentle and too calm and not spirited enough, but Andy seems to have a lot of affection for him.
