... # narrative.
what separates a lord from his fellow man ? what makes them better , and so much more worthy of the titles bestowed upon them ? it's an answer you've pondered time and time again , the mysteries of which you've been chasing from your youth. so far , all you've discovered is this : all men drown the same , and remain helpless before the seas. it was life's only assurance , and so the only one you deemed worthy to abide.
the rest , well , you'd long since decided it was easier to figure out along the way.
the youngest of the greyjoy's amongst your generation , the rumours say you earned your sea legs long before you'd ever touched down upon land. with a brine in your blood , alongside flesh and bone , they deem you carved from the same tempest as the storms ; as overwhelming and dangerous as the floods so familiar to your home. basking in chaos and calling home to troubled shores , perhaps it was to the benefit of your father that you so preferred the open seas. keeping you from your islands and sailing to where the winds dared you to go , such was the life of a wanderer , and ever hedonistic satisfaction.
you do what you like , and you do it so well.
growing blood thirsty and impossible to control , you are better raised by the ironborn aboard their ships in lordsport than high up within the sea tower of pyke. happy amongst your travels , and soaking up the pleasures to be found in lands far and wide , the new winds bringing forth the rumours of a blood feud between to - be kings and queens is the herald to the start of long and arduous battle of your own. loyal to your heritage , and yourself above all , the disregard of inheritance and the so called ' rightful heirs ' has you seeking to gather power for your own self ⸻ your own pleasure. and if nothing , you have always been an expert at that.
... # wanted connections.
— bad influence , alexa play good girls go bad by cobra starship featuring leighton meester <333 rory is understandably no parent's idea of a good influence , and boy oh boy , does he ever relish in it. ( not to say roryn greyjoy has something of a corruption kink , but … that is exactly what i'm saying ). give him a new little lord or lady for him to enchant , to promise adventures and excitement to break them free of the same old life on land. not necessarily a romantic / amorous connection in itself , but could have potential overtones ? rory just loves getting up to no good , and a downfall is surely that much sweeter when he can drag someone down with him , that's all <333.
— seeking mutiny , taps the mic … is this thing on ? no ? yes ? oh great … well ! calling all second sons and those otherwise in line for a heirship just out of reach … with the new winds bringing forth new tidings from the crownlands , roryn has gotten into his head the idea of fucking off with named heirs and lines of succession. believing his sister ariadne a better fit for the ruling seat of pyke , and himself the destined lord captain of its fleet , he's on the hunt for likeminded folks who seek to play out similar plots. so do you enjoy rebellion ? seek the sweet freedom only successful treason can grant ?? reach out to roryn greyjoy now to make your dreams come true <333
— regrettable loverboy , you ask me about love and i tell you about violence type beat … yeah yeah yeah. romantic prospects aren't exactly plentiful in roryn's life , neither one to be sought out by the lord , but ultimately : something to come along and smack him silly across the face. to be dragged off towards , kicking and screaming , crying and throwing up. devotion is bestowed to so very few in his life , and shown mostly through acts of dedicated , yet heinous violence ⸻ and truly , how many would have the heart to stomach such a thing ? still , when he loves , he loves wholeheartedly , regardless of the consequences , to both himself and your muse <333
