[ sam reid. lord lannister a. 38. cis male. he/him. ] the king welcomes tybolt of house lannister of casterly rock ! all of court has heard that they are intelligent and charming, but whispers claim that they are also vain and dramatic when no one is looking … how much of that is true, we will soon find out. asking around, we are told that they remind people of letters written in secret to lords he has never met in order to keep the peace, a doublet of fine red velvet undone to the clavicle after a long day, long golden hair tied back in a ribbon as red as the field his sigil dances on, a love of the sea that no cat as big as him should have ─ that should give the bards something to sing about ! unbeknown by most, to prove that he is a better choice of ruling lord than his father is the real reason why they answered the call of the king, but with so many rumors flying around, who is to say what the truth is ?

ii. background & personality
He was born in the Summertime. The sunset sea was calm and the pregnancy had been an easy one. Tybolt was born screaming, the sign of a healthy child, and Casterly Rock rejoiced at the news. Loreon had an heir. A boy.
Tybolt was soon joined by siblings and he cared for them all very deeply. The Lannister children grew up as Lions of the rock and were rarely seen apart from one another. Tybolt, as heir, was tutored extensively by maesters and teachers brought in from Old town. He was taught to fight with a broad sword and shield and made to sit at his fathers elbow and learn to rule.
Like any child of noble blood, he was married of and his wife sent to live on the rock with him and his family. Tybolt was already a semi-notorious rake and had no desire to settle down with his wife. In fact, his behaviour seemed to get worse once he said his vows. He took lovers of all genders, had favourites, gave them gifts, all to the chagrine of his lovely wife. However, it isn't to say that Tybolt was cruel to her. In fact, he has grown to care for her over the years, but maintains his debaucherous activies despite that.
Tybolt proved to the noble lords of the Westerlands that he was as good as, if not better suited to rule than his father. His decisions were swift but well considered, he did not linger or mull on things that were not his concern, and it seemed that mire importantly to the men loyal to the Rock, he did not involve his mother nor his wife in any of those matters.
More and more Lordlings sought him out at feasts, asked him what he thought about certain matters, asked if they could petition him for a decision about their land, their children, their taxes to the crown. It was happening more and more often and Tybolt couldn't help himself. He was a Lannister after all, as notoriously ambitious as his grandmother before him.
Tybolt continued to aid whoever asked for him and now, having travelled North for the funeral of the late Lord Stark, he is determined to prove himself to all of Westeros, not just his westerland Lords, that he is fit to rule as Lord Lannister of Casterly Rock.
iii. headcanons
He's right handed.
He had a stutter as a child that sometimes returns if he's very stressed or very afraid.
His favourite colours are Red, Gold and emerald green.
He has a thing for muscles and long necks. He likes brunette woman and men who look like him.
His eye sight seems to be getting poorer the older he gets so when he's reading or writing he has to wear a pair of tiny lil spectacles so that he can see. He has a habit of looking up over the rim of them disapprovingly.
He loves the sea. Tybolt commissioned a small vessel for short trips out of the Lannisport bay and is a strong swimmer.
He has a love of reading and writing, mostly poetry but he had dabbled in short stories and he has several thick leather folders of his own work that he does not let ANYONE see. He likes to read tucked into a high nook of Casterly Rock that overlooks the sea.
He absolutely despises venison and his favourite food is summer isle citrus fruits and small stuffed chickens. He's an avid yapper over meals and it often takes him double the time to finish his food.
He dreams of sailing to Lys and the summer Isles, and perhaps further afield, to the lands of Yi Ti.
