LOWBORN, RIDLEY STORM

[attr="class","bioheader"]personality.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]The best way to describe Ridley would be that he is independent, yet incredibly loyal. He didn't choose to be a bastard, but he was lucky enough to be warded by his birth father of noble house Baratheon. While he is very kind and selfless, though he can be stubborn and rather argumentative with those he does not agree with. Despite being taken into the family, he does not get along with his father at all due to the fact that he expected everything of him. Despite being a bastard, he was the first child under Baratheon care, and because of this, his father was incredibly demanding of him.

Ridley has a hard time talking to others, having experienced isolation in his youth, and having a fear of losing those close to him. Ridley's words and actions often stem from a fear of being unable to meet the expectations of those around him, but as a counterbalance he has a desire to please them.
[break][break]
He is rather complex, having dealt with a lot of emotional turmoil as his mother died when he was born and his father had to cater to the demands of his trueborn children, leaving Ridley feeling alone. Nevertheless, he is not bitter over it, accepting that sacrifices had to be made. Ridley is still trying to figure out who he is, and struggles articulating his feelings. Not only was his father neglectful emotionally, but because his is the eldest, he was expected to be perfect in every way.
[break][break]
He keeps a lot bottled up, especially with confronting how he feels. His half-siblings had noted that Ridley was difficult to control and quite rebellious as a child. When Ridley struggles coping with things he tends to avoid the issue and become even more withdrawn. When he acknowledges the situation is bad, his first instinct is to focus on himself rather than the people around him, or even his closest friends.
[break][break]
Even when his life was in danger, Ridley refuses to back down. Enemies are taken aback by his unorthodox fighting style, and he could achieve victories greater than his abilities would suggest. Ridley was driven by a fierce, persistent determination to win, and his guts in battle have proven to work in his favor. However, his volatile emotions could often drive him to behave childishly, and became tiresome to his friends at times. Ridley himself could not control his tumultuous soul.

[attr="class","bioheader"]history.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]Ridley was born in a brothel not far from Storm’s end - to a young woman who had, in the past, slept with a man whom was of riches and status - Rodric Baratheon. From the moment she knew she was pregnant, there was no question where it would have come from. She had been convinced that this child was his. Only few new her secret, and she had intended on keeping the child herself, but that all came to a standstill when the child was born and the mother had been dying.
[break][break]
Unsure of what would become of the child, his mother had requested he be sent to Storm’s End to hopefully be taken in by Rodric. Since he had no children yet of his own, perhaps he would see this as opportunity, and upon hearing the name of who his mother was, he would know that it was, indeed his kid. It would be hard to argue otherwise - he was born of the same raven hair and cerulean eyes.
[break][break]
And it surprised everyone when he had indeed accepted to ward this child. His own wife had been pregnant with their trueborn, but he felt it necessary to have a father in the life of this boy. And so he grew up alongside his half siblings - lucky to live under House Baratheon… without ever actually claiming the name for himself.
[break][break]
Being the bastard of the family was bittersweet for Ridley - he received the care and education required of the kin of a noble house, but shame and ridicule also followed him like a shadow. Many whispered about where he came from, wondering whether he truly was the son of Rodric, despite being the spitting image of him in his youth.
[break][break]
He was required to attend all family events, but was unable to sit with his family. And while his father had drove it into his brain that he would never be considered a true Baratheon, he was expected to act as one. Any mistakes or faults of Ridley would surely bring shame back to Rodric.
[break][break]
Once Ridley had turned 17, he decided to leave Storm’s End. He felt he had no purpose for his life and headed to bigger things - perhaps to the city to find a job or apprenticeship. He traveled around a bit, and continued to meet up with his family when necessary.
[break][break]
He ends up joining up with a rag tag group of people, some of lower houses, others that are bastards. They trained together, fought together, and never stayed in one place for very long. They eventually became known as the Brotherhood Without Banners. And Ridley was elected their successor should their current leader pass.
[break][break]
They are not necessarily against having banners, or holding allegiance to the crown - but they are more so what it says in their title - brothers. They were either left behind by their houses, or were bastards that held no actual place.
[break][break]
After the death of the King, Ridley returned home to Storm’s End, where he met with his family to travel to King’s Landing and pay their respects. He did not tell them about the group he became part of, for he didn’t want them to fear he was turning against them. That was never his intentions.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]CROSSBOW- Ridley is trained in using his sword, but his true skill lies in his crossbow, which was gifted to him by his father before he set off for (what he assumed would be) King's Landing.
