Appearance and Character

Arryk is a tall lad, an inch taller than his Lord brother even. He is lean and handsome, his appeal and status as a bachelor well renown throughout the realm, but he is not particularly strong, although he can handle himself in combat with a sword. Despite being the twin of Lord Grafton, the two are apples and oranges in terms of appearance. Arryk has the blond hair of younger sister, kept quite long but well groomed, and the only aspect he shares with his brother are his piercing grey eyes. The knight's face is oval-shaped and sharp, sometimes covered in thin puffs of hair.

He is just as kind as his brother, and even more well-spoken. Vardis' twin brother is easier to approach and much more gregarious, however, and it is said that he has a great lust for both women and men alike. He has very costly tastes and is not nearly as good at handling money as his brother is. He loves lavish feasts and tourneys. Regardless, he is great at holding court and being well educated as he is, he also makes for a good diplomat. Grafton is also a family person and would risk everything for his siblings.

History

Youth

Arryk was not any more interested in developing his martial prowess any more than his brother was. However, he took his Lord father's lessons quite seriously, and was more attentive than Vardis when it came to learning how to fight. Like his brother, however, combat was not his main interest. Vardis seemed rough and harsh, but he compensated for it through his ability to forge and his good statecraft, whereas his brother Arryk was the one easier to talk to, and cultivated by his passion for books. As a child, he was most passionate about tales of Old Valyria, as well as tales of Aegon's conquest.

While his brother found peace in the Starry Rites during the time of the Hammer Uprising, Arryk harbored no such sympathies for the Faith of the Seven. Even as a child, he only loosely if at all believed in the Seven.

Adolescence

Arryk was a promiscuous adolescent. In the times of the Great Famine, he would rather profit from lowborn girls, bending them over for something ever so frugal as a piece of bread. Arryk was not nearly as kind nor as disciplined as his brother Vardis was as a teenager, but he was the better manipulator and knew well how to justify his behavior, so punishment was never harshly met. Vardis was smart enough however to see through his brother's acts and, out of fear of being spited by his twin, resolved to change his way. When the Great Famine was at an end, the boy seemed much kinder, but just as opposed to the Gods as before, perhaps even more so. However, he too gathered a certain sympathy for the smallfolk which was unknown to him until then.

The scion was knighted by his father in 399 AC, right as he came of age. Although not a distinguished warrior, he could hold his own and he fought with agility, which warranted his knighthood.
