Apperance and Character Edit

Preston's mop of artfully tousled blond locks sit above bright blue eyes, strong nose, and an easy grin. Standing roughly six feet tall, he possesses a wiry strong frame, that has taken more of a beating than he lets on. The tedious life of an administrator is not the life for him, for he would rather be out riding and drinking, than stuck behind a desk writing documents. With an easygoing nature, he is quick to laugh, and seeks to befriend anyone he comes across.

History Edit

Early Life Edit

Born to Lucas Osgrey and his wife Elinor, Preston, with his soft blond curls was literally the golden child of the household. Firstborn son, and heir to the Osgrey lordship, adoration was lavished upon him, and he relished every minute of it. Inheriting a strong build and quick feet from his father, Preston took to the sword as easily as chequey colors to a prancing lion. Also apparent at a young age was his disdain for history, math, and economics. Just about the only subject the frustrated castle maester could get Preston to focus on, was the care and husbandry of animals - an interest that would continue throughout his life.

Training and Rivalry Edit

While time spent on dusty tomes and soporific lectures was wasted, time spent in the training yard proved most fruitful. Young Preston showed much prowess with many of the weapons his master at arms exposed him to, but ultimately found a great liking to the two-handed sword. Despite such success, training time nearly always devolved into a nightmare once his father entered the yard. Lord Lucas was a hard, proud man, and determined to regain the status of his once prominent house. In his mind, the first step to such honor was molding his sons into great warriors of the realm. Thus Preston and his younger brother Lyonel were pushed to their physical limits every session. Even worse, they were pitted against each other every session, forced to hold nothing back. Blessed with the greater skill, Preston typically emerged the victor, but he did not relish it, nor the seething resentment that developed within his brother. Ultimately, this bitter rivalry came to a head one day when Lyonel refused to train. Despite a series of harsh words and harsher beatings, the younger Osgrey son would not relent his stance, and was eventually shipped off to ward with their mother’s family, the Oakhearts. Preston would not see his brother again until the Rosegold Rebellion. Soon after his brother’s departure, a new face took his place, one Daeron Flowers. Bastard born son of Lord Davos Bulwer, Daeron came to the household to serve as page, and eventually squire to Lord Lucas. While Lucas still pushed the boys hard, he did not force a rivalry between Preston and the newcomer, thus Preston finally found in Daeron, the brother he wished he had.

Knighthood and Tourneys - So Many Tourneys! Edit

The year of his fifteenth nameday, Preston traveled with his family to a tourney celebration of Lady Genavene Darklyn’s nameday. While not the winner of the tournament, the young Osgrey displayed much skill and valor in the matches, and his proud lord father knighted him that very day. Such success instilled a desire within Preston - desire he would would chase all over the realm. No tourney was too small for the Osgrey knight, whether they be simple harvest celebrations, or minor lord weddings. Preston entered them all.

Rebellion and Loss Edit

In 93 AC, civll war erupted throughout the realm, with the Reach and the West seeking independence, culminating in the Rosegold Rebellion. Determined to restore honor to his once great house, Lord Lucas thrust himself into the vanguard of each battle, bringing his son and squire with him. The determined lord finally found glory at what would become known as the Slaughter of Bitterbridge. But such glory came at a heavy price. Lucas slew the famed Lord Raymont Baratheon, only to perish himself, at the hands of young Roy Baratheon. A distraught Preston attended his dying father’s body, only to find himself propped up by his estranged brother Lyonel, who had been fighting amongst the Oakheart host. With the last of his strength, Lord Lucas snatched the hands of both his sons, tearfully apologized for driving them apart, and pleaded with them to work together to restore their family’s honor.

Lordship, Marriage, and more Tourneys Edit

Following the Golden Truce, the Iron Throne remained whole, and it fell to Preston to take lordship of Standfast. He hated every minute of it and shirked his duties as much as possible. His brother Lyonel, now back in service to his family in an effort to fulfill his father’s wishes, found a new reason to resent Preston. Despite their vow to their father, the brothers continued to quarrel, and it fell to their much younger brother, the bookish Olyvar to manage the household.

Satisfied with this fortuitous arrangement, Preston suddenly found himself free to rejoin the tourney circuit, and traveled the realm once again with the newly legitimized Lord Daeron Bulwer at his side. Through their travels, they found common kinship with Ser Barneby Yew, a fellow knight who relished the tests of skill, the drinking, and the chasing of pretty maidens, in equal measure. Because the Gods must create balance in the realm, Preston also found rivalry within the circuit. Ser Raymun Caswell and his band of wealthy knights seemed to turn up at every list, and Preston soon lived to wipe the smug look off his face.

While Preston was away battering and getting battered by lances and maces, changes developed within his household. It was decided without him that he would marry Lady Rhea Florent, creating a major connection with the wealthy Reach house. Shortly after their hastily prepared wedding, Preston’s brother Lyonel would accept a position within House Tyrell as captain of the castle guard of Highgarden. It had also been decided the youth, Forley Fossoway, assumed heir of Lord Titus Fossoway, would serve as Preston's squire. The boy was proved very capable, and served him well, but upon the news of Lord Fossoway's death, Forley left his service to claim his seat.

Now with the news of Balerion’s death, Preston is excited for a reason to get out of Standfast and travel across the realm once again.
