ANNOUNCING the arrival of PERROS of house DAYNE, SWORN SWORD of DORNE. rumors around the courts talk of their LOYAL yet RETICENT nature, and bards have often likened them to THE BURNING OF A FALLING STAR, A MILK GLASS SWORD ALWAYS WITHIN REACH, THE SOUND OF CRASHING WAVES, AN FIERCE LOYALTY AND UNWAVERING PRIDE. it is said their loyalties lie with HOUSE MARTELL, but will they succeed in bringing their side to victory? may the old gods and the new show them their favor in these turbulent times, for they will surely need it.

HEADCANONS
perros birth was just like any other; his father was fifth in line to the seat of house dayne and that number was only expected to grow as his elder siblings had children.
he was sent to serve as a page and cupbearer to house martell at the age of six. he was given an excellent education and was treated well by the noble family, but more than anything he was trained at arms - raised from the start to be a fierce knight for the house. as he grew he proved himself as a capable soldier, becoming a squire, and eventually being knighted at the age of fifteen. perry's connection to the martells was more than fealty, feeling a more fierce loyalty to the martell house than his own.
during his time with the family perros had become friends with the children, but particularly with the princess illaria, so when she took the throne he was more than happy to swear his life and sword to the now ruling princess.
despite his skill with a sword and training to be a relentless soldier, perros was never cruel or vicious. he had been a sensitive boy, and this trait carried into adulthood in any way he could manage it. he became known amongst the people for his generosity and chivalry, stories of his honorable fights often told. a favorite amongst the people being an instance in which he paused a fight in order to allow his outlaw opponent to take up a new sword when theirs had become too damaged. there is a rumor that he has been known to extended apologies to enemies before they meet their demise at his blade.. though this has never been confirmed or denied.
he is also very superstitious.. 100% believes in magic and the wrath of the gods.
he owns three horses; a rose grey sand steed named swan he uses for daily ride, a blue roan destrier named ghost that is reserved for tourneys, and a black courser he is yet to name because its a warhorse and he thinks if he doesn't name it he'll be less sad if it dies in battle (he's wrong) (also yes they are all named after constellations, he's cliche)
many young boys in westeros, and all young boys in house dayne, dream of wielding the ancient greatsword dawn. that dream had become a childs fancy by the time ser arthur dayne fell, even more so when a decade passed and dawn remained at starfall. it was two years ago, during a tourney in celebration of his uncles nameday, that the ruling lord named perros as the star of the morning, bestowing upon him both the honor of title and carrying dawn as well as the pressure to remain virtuous and skillful.
the years passed and his aunts and uncles died childless and his father moved up the line of succession, but for some reason the idea of him actually becoming ruling lord never seemed realistic. even so, one year ago lord edric died.. vorian taking the seat of starfall.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
his siblings! especially his older brother, the heir of starfall. i feel like it might be interesting if he's almost the opposite of perros - more ambitious and greedy.. doesn't necessarily have to be cruel, but just not this overly honorable softie. AND/OR if they have some tension with perros being named sword of the morning.
formal flame.. someone that would have visited sunspear in their teens and had a romance with perros but ofc had to leave at some point. the seriousness of the relationship and where it will go after they meet again can be plotted!
