Ryman Tully

Introduction
Ryman Tully was the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands at the outbreak of the Second Dance. Holding no close connections to Daeron Waters or Queen Elaena Targaryen, Ryman Tully initially joined forces with Baelor Tyrell. Events later in the war would see the Riverlands swearing their allegiance to Daeron Waters, who they would go on to fight for. for the wars duration.

Appearance
Ryman Tully II resembled his father, for whom he owes his name, greatly. While sporting a darker extension of the iconic Tully appearance, including dark auburn hair and a muscular build. Lord Tully kept himself well groomed and at his peak whenever possible. During the war, Ryman kept himself with a familial sword - Fish Eater - passed down for four generations already.

When commanding on the battle field, Lord Tully kept himself in plate armor with the sigil of his house brilliantly displayed, a tuft of horse hair painted red sticking half a foot from his helmet. He became known as the most decorated man to never draw his blade.

Personality
The Lord of Riverrun was known to be effeminate compared to many of his peers, prone to admiring nature and being a supporter of the arts. This, combined with his timid nature, made the man difficult to respect and easy to mock. As a Lord, Ryman attempted to be fair with all his vassals, only ever raising his voice when treated with blatant disrespect. Transparent attempts at intrigue between feuding Houses of the Riverlands made Ryman little friends. During his rule, it is said his commanding wife had more say over the land than Ryman himself.

In matters of the family, few who knew the Tully's could attest to him being equally as bad a parent as a lord. Ryman adored his children and practically worshiped his wife, bending to her whims out of his inner desire to please her. Likewise, Ryman's three children were spoiled fiercely. They were given ample space to grow and develop, although Ryman had stressed on them the importance of moderation - Lord Tully himself ardently opposed to alcohols and other substances that altered one's mind.

As a man, devoid of duties to House and Land, Ryman was sociable and polite, if not awkward at times. A love for history, poetry, sculpture and painting had seen much of his time in the solar of Riverrun or the nearby woodlands. Many once spoke that, if Ryman had spent the time he used to learn the brush and white canvas, he'd of made fierce knight. Time and time again, Ryman seemed to oppose violence, until all other options were extinguished.
