[h1][centre][color=39b54a]House Roxton of the Ring[/color][/centre][/h1]
[h2][centre][color=39b54a]To Rule Them All[/color][/centre][/h2]


History: The House of Roxton, during the horrifying Dance of Dragons, took little to no part in the war. This was because of their lord at the time, Galder Roxton. Galder was an odd sort, who was notorious among his court and the courts of his neighbors, in that he had a very low opinion of the Targaryens. He did nothing to hide the fact that he despised Valyrians ruling over Andal people. He was only lucky that due to his low rank, he was beneath the Targaryens' notice. When war broke out among the Targaryen family members, his first comment to his Maester was "good, maybe they'll kill each other all off". And so he and his house did nothing as they slaughtered each other.

Galder eventually died of a terrible duel. They were both drunk and armed, and he was challenged by Ser Salvon Threefoot, a newly anointed knight from a landless family. They fought the most embarrassing duel in all the Seven Kingdoms, and both pierced themselves on their own blades. The title holder after Galder was decided by a simple coin flip, and Balros Roxton succeeded. He had a child, but soon after, committed suicide. The Ring is now controlled by Frados Roxton, serving as regent for Lindsay Roxton. 

[hider=Frados Roxton]
Name: Frados Roxton

Age: 44

Appearance: Frados is very tall, towering over most of his court. He is also very wide, partly because of his military training, mostly because of his affection for meals. His light brown hair, once thick on his head, has begun to recede, leaving a bald patch on the top of his head. His expression is often sour and grim, but softens up in the presence of his niece.

Personality and History: Frados was born to Lord Galder Roxton and Lady Lima Roxton in 113 AC. Unfortunately for him, he shared a womb with another, his twin brother Balros. Balros had the gall to have been born only thirty seconds before Frados, and therefore had cheated him out of what they both called their "rightful title".

The early days for both of them were uneasy, for they were both sickly as youths. The new maester at the time, Maester Saruman, had told their parents that neither of them were likely to survive the first year, if the first week. Both, miraculously, overcame the odds and grew to childhood.

The Roxton brothers were already becoming very different people. While Balros' fate was to rule the Ring, and therefore resigned himself to endless hours of learning to make critical decisions, memorize house banners, and to listen to people, Frados decided that if he couldn't be the lord of the Ring, he would become a Kingsguard. So he went down every morning to train with the squires and footmen. The one thing they had in common, though, was a love of games. They especially adored games of chance, and took the stakes very seriously.

When they were both 18, Galder was taken by the stranger, and his land and titles passed on to Balros. His wife, grief stricken, soon followed. However, Frados had grown angry with that in the end, and challenged his brother to a duel for the seat. Quickly improvising, Balros proposed instead a coin flip to decide the fate of the Ring. Alas, luck was against Frados this time, and Balros remained Lord of the Ring.

In time, Balros found a match, marrying Jana, a lowborn woman, in 150 AC. Their marriage was fruitful, and soon they had a daughter, Lindsay, in 151. However, the childbirth was difficult, and Jana died of birthing fever soon after. Balros tossed himself out of his highest tower, unable to cope with his wife's passing.

With Lindsay far too young to govern, effective control went to Frados. To this day he rules in the Ring as a regent to his niece. He has attempted to abstain from bets, but the prospect of a good gamble still makes his blood boil.

[hider=Lindsay Roxton]
Name: Lindsay Roxton

Age: 6

Appearance: Little is remarkable about Lindsay. She is a good couple of inches taller than the average child, a mark of her father. Her hair is in light brown locks, almost yellow in the right light, a gift from her mother. She always appears intrigued by something off in the distance, which nobody else except her can see.

Personality and History: Lindsay's life has been rather tumultuous as six year olds' lives go. Soon after her birth, her father killed himself, leaving her to the care of her uncle. He was kind enough to her, but was also always busy with something, and can only spend time with her for a few minutes at a time before he's called away by another knight or servant. She sometimes wonders if had father been alive, he would have been the same.

Her uncle would frequently tell her how lucky she was, being born late and avoiding the Dance of Dragons. It was a terrible war, he said, that split the kingdom into two fanatic sides, neither of which were truly in the right. She didn't really understand all the politics of it, but from what she heard, there were dragons in it, and she liked dragons.

One thing Lindsay inherited from her father was her love of games. She was extraordinarily good at Korzion, and would spend lots of playing it against her uncle and whoever she could goad into playing. Most of the time, they lost. Perhaps that's why whenever she shows up anywhere anymore, all the servants clear out of the room. When this happens, and her uncle is passed out in bed, she would just play against herself. It wasn't as fun winning then.

Don't let Frados run into Aly--she loves betting. Approved.

I almost thought this was a joke app. Like a Morningwood.
