Here he is. Dargo and I are currently in talks for me to play his Braavosi dancer daughter, but we'll see. As for the writing sample, I wanted to try him in a position that might not come up in the IC. There will be tons of time to see him charging off into battle to try to stab something.
[fieldbox="Allec Harlaw, grey, solid"]
Name: Allecthen Harlaw
Age: 23
Great House: Greyjoy
Personality: Arrogant and self-assured, Allec is a skilled warrior, but he fails to live up to his potential due to impulsiveness. Some would go so far as to call him an oversized child, but that would earn them a ruthless smack from his shield. When in battle, which is where he prefers to be, he shows an uncharacteristic focus, but he is prone to showing off and underestimating should he feel he is not being sufficiently challenged. Impatient, bold, brazen, and obessed with the idea of honour, Allec seeks out adventure and danger to prove his worth. Should he find a comrade capable of keeping up with him, he shows signs of almost being a team player.
Appearance: Standing at 5'8" and having something of a wiry frame, Allec does not look the part of a ruthless warlord. In fact, nothing from his clean shaven face, well-kept blonde hair, or his ornamental armor screams House Greyjoy. He has a thin scar adorning his upper lip. Despite his penchant for grooming, he doesn't mind ending up caked in dirt and blood when out in the field.
Occupation: Sellsword, and son of the noble House Harlaw, aspiring raider under Lord Pyke
Skills:
-Shortsword: 15
-Shield: 10
-Lancing: 10
-Music: 5
-Seduction: 10
Other: Athough he doesn't always advertise the talent, Allec is a fairly good lute player. He never knew his mother, but his father insists she must have been a Lannister bastard girl, accounting for Allec's blonde hair and uppity attitude.
Special Weaponry: He carries a round heirloom shield that bears the crest of the Harlaw family.
Pets: A young, scrappy cat that survived an attack from his father's attack dogs. He calls her Trouble. A sandy coated cat with a ragged left ear and a scar on her left rear haunch, Trouble used to come and go as she pleased, but she has recently taken more to following Allec around on some of his escapades.
Allergies: Shellfish. It is an allergy that causes a great deal of frustration among cooks in Ten Towers.
WRITING SAMPLE:
He ran a hand across the light stubble that dotted his chin as he clenched his jaw. Sitting upon one of the many low walls that snaked through the yard of Ten Towers, Allec stared intently at the little bundle of fur, its leg still bandaged. The stray cat wobbled across the hewn stones, and as she teetered close to the edge, the blonde quickly tugged her up by the scruff of her neck. He clicked his tongue impatiently and ruffled his hair with his free hand, "You're going to be trouble, aren't you?" The feline mewled curiously and tilted her head at the phrase. The young man laughed and placed the cat down on the dirt below, "Is that what I should call you? Trouble?" When she made no response, Allec hefted his shield and shrugged, turning his back on the animal and continued to pummel the dummy before him. Loosing a few quick strikes with his sword, he practiced his footwork around the target, trying to pry his attention away from the fluffy intruder for long enough to get back to his all-important practice. Upon turning over his shoulder, the Harlaw heir noticed that Trouble was conspicuosly absent from his line of sight. Spitting to the ground below, he shook his fist and grunted, "What an ungrateful, foul little roden-" He looked over the wall as he went on, and noticed Trouble flicking her tail at him mockingly with the closest thing she could muster to a grin as she sauntered off. Allec blinked and laughed in spite of himself.
"Just as well. You'd be worse for me than an amputation, y'hear?" he called to the beast's retreating frame. He checked around the courtyard to make sure nobody had witnessed his momentary diversion, before tackling the unsuspecting dummy with full force, and pummeling it with the rim of his shield. He let out a satisifed grunt when he looked down at the carnage and then let himself back into the tower, completely ignorant to the fact that Trouble had slipped in with him, between his feet.[/fieldbox]
