Robin Mertyns

Robin Mertyns is the thirteenth son of Alesander Mertyns, the Lord of Mistwood, and a knight of the Kingsguard of Aegon VII Targaryen. The thirdborn of Lord Alesander's fourth wife, his mother is the current wife of the infamously virile Lord, and current Lady of Mistwood. He joined the Kingsguard shortly after his twenty-second name-day, after the death of Ser Garon Mullendore, who passed in his sleep.

Character and Appearance
Robin is a mouse among giants, to his dismay. While his brothers, Galladon, Arryk, Erryk and Rogar all tower above him well above six feet in height, Robin stopped growing at the age of five and ten, never growing further than five and a half feet tall. He is extremely touchy about the subject, and his unusually short fuse is lessened even more for every inch he lacks in size, making him an extremely volatile and bellicose man. He wears his dusty blonde hair short, cut above his ears, with the scruffy, patchy beginnings of a beard clinging to his chin. He has narrow, strong-set features, and an overall average appearance to him. Robin's grey eyes are as muted as the rest of his appearance, and display little else than boiling Napoleonic rage.

Despite his lacking height, he is broadly built and barrel chested, with clearly defined muscles in his arms, torso, and legs, with small patches of blonde hair spread about his body unevenly. His hands and feet are almost overlarge, far disproportional to his height and weight, to the point of it being another sore subject for him.

At his core, Robin is angry, rash, exceedingly prideful, standoffish, and an insufferable know-it-all. Simultaneously, he is soft-spoken, kind-hearted, open-handed, and quick to attach himself to others. Above all else, he is insecure. His negative traits often overshadow his positive ones by simple virtue of the grips of not only his vices of choice, but the crippling self-consciousness that constantly wracks his brain, causing him to be irritable, nasty, and withdrawn in most settings.
