IdentityFelix Blackwood (Ser)
Age20
CharacterisationIn stark contrast to his sister, Felix is amiable and warm. He wears his heart on his sleeve, which often garners him favour with others as his willingness to open up only makes them trust him more. Easy to get along with, and a damned good drinking partner if he doesn’t say so himself, he has a knack for making allies. He tends to get caught up in the moment and doesn’t consider the consequences of his actions, which has caused a tendency for him to land himself into troublesome situations. Although by no means unintelligent, even he would admit that his strengths lie more in the physical pursuits, rather than in plotting and scheming. It would be a rare sight to see Felix pouring over books or coming up with detailed plans.
Most of his youth has been spent hunting, drinking and attending tourneys. It is only in the past year that Felix has begun to set his sights on the Queensguard. Somewhat squandered recently, he always had a natural talent for both sword and horse. Although his father is happy to see him finally take a more serious direction in life, he is disappointed at his lack of want to be a Lord and carry on the Blackwood line. This revelation has also garnered much protest from Cassandra, who under the new laws set about by Queen Deanerys, would become Lady of their house.
The eldest of five siblings, Felix has been particularly close to Cassandra throughout their childhood and they share a great degree of fondness for one another. Harald Blackwood often says that they are like two sides of the same coin and does admit that it is a strange picture to see them apart for an extended period. Although such whispering are strictly kept within the household, there are rumours amongst the servants that perhaps they are a little
too close.
Attributes and talentsA dicey historyAlthough probably not viewed by many as a strength, Felix prides himself on both his drinking and gambling abilities. Though it may have gotten him into trouble in the past, it also garners him favour with the common-folk and his generally well liked by them because of this.
BullseyeAs fitting for any young noble, Felix was brought up learning many of the important arts including sword-fight and archery. Gifted with a weirwood bow as a boy, he has particular skill in archery and likes to insist, that even drunk, he’s one of the best shots in the Riverlands.
Place your betsHe enjoys and thrives in anything related to tourneys, be it archery, melees, axe-throwing etc. Despite his pleads over the years, Harald Blackwood has yet to hold a tourney at Raventree Hall, insisting that it is a frivolity that would take them years to pay off.
Sibling loveBeing the two eldest children, and with a significant age gap between themselves and Samson, Felix & Cassandra were always inseparably close throughout their childhood. The Blackwoods have always been a close and loving family, but in their case, it’s rumoured to having been taken a bit too far...
