Name: Ser Richard Stryker
Age: 35
House/Affiliation: The Nights Watch

Appearance:
A tall, broad shouldered man with a weather beaten face and close cropped blonde hair.
Stryker bears a vivid scar across the left side of his face and a once handsome nose that. has been broken in multiple places
In the cold climes of the far North, The Ranger is almost always found clad in sturdy boots, gauntlets, leather breeches and shirt, wool doublet, gambeson, chainmail and thick furs, all black.
A thick leather belt at Richards waist holds his Broadsword, pouch, dagger and hip flask while a pair of spare knives are thrust into his high boots.
Stryker also carries a large, double handed Wildling long axe usually found either slung across his broad back or resting easily over one shoulder.

Biography:
A lowborn Hedge Knight from Storms End who won his Knighthood, horse and armour in a card game, Stryker spent most of his life on the road.
Sleeping in ditches or under hedges and taking work where he could, the impoverished Knight took part in a few skirmishes and Tourneys, preferring the meele to the joust.

At one such Tourney, the wedding of some minor Lordling, upon finding Meele's were not customary at such affairs, Stryker entered the joust and promptly lost his horse and armour when he was unseated by an unknown Knight bearing a snail as his sigil.

Without a horse and armour the Hedge Knight became first a Mercenary then a Bandit, preying on trade caravans as they made their way from the Capitol up the long and dangerous Kings Road.
However it wasn't long before the Gold Cloaks caught up with him, wiped out his band in a small yet bloody skirmish and dragged the disgraced Robber Knight back to Kings Landing in chains.

It was there Stryker was given that simple, age old, choice, The Noose or The Wall.

Upon arriving at The Wall, fervently wondering if he had made the right decision, Stryker's past combat experience and tarnished title carried him through his training and into the ranks of the Rangers.

Richard Stryker has since become a loyal and dedicated member of the Nights Watch, leaving his old life behind to take the black, the Ranger has battled Wildlings many times beyond the wall and earned his place at Castle Black.

In a recent skirmish with a Wildling band almost within the shadow of The Wall itself, Stryker took a deep leg wound and while infection did not take hold, The Maester has forbade him from future Rangings until he is fully healed.

In response to this and Stryker's insistence he is not a cripple and still of use, The Lord Commander has instead decided to send him South, down the long Kings Road to the Capitol in order to seek new 'recruits' for The Wall.

Approved.

The Others are beginning to attack the Wall. If you've any questions on what to, or to not, include in your posts just ask. <3 Otherwise, have fun with it. You're the only character at the Wall, so you're the lone PC against an army of undead.
