## Appearance and Character

Ulrick had been named after
one the Previous Swords of the Morning, Ulrick Dayne, Whom had been said
 to be one of the greatest fighters and Knights in the history of
Westoros, he was gifted telltale signs of his Daynish features. His dark
 purple eyes and sandy blonde hair were a trademark of his heritage. To
those around he he was an enigma, an oddity. He stands at just barely
under six feet tall. But his shoulders are wide and he has a great
athletic build. He although isn't without his blemishes. He wouldn't be
unattractive but his scars he'd acquired fighting a particular bandit
'King' in his youth. Muddled his striking appearance. A wide scar above
his right eye, and a massive impact scar beneath his left. Showing that
he'd have been on the receiving end of a crushing strike that broke his
cheek bones. His high cheekbones, patrician nose, and rough kept
appearance add to his ascetic. He has curly sandy blonde hair, that he
keeps cut close due him saying 'it curls wildly if it grows too long.'
His general style of dress is very bland, and non-extravagant- And
pertains to a small-shirt of starch white cotton white fabric coupled
with a bland pair of trousers that are none expensive looking and
leather boots. Though he does dress appropriately when its called upon
and has a wardrobe that isn't too outlandish but would fit in in most
regal settings. When not attending to Ser Aron Redmane he is often seen
sitting in the castle court yard near his small and humble quarters,
under a lemon tree that grows in the courtyard.

## History

Ulrick was born unto
Gerris Remane and Allyria Dayne, Under a Matriarchal marriage. This
marriage provided her with three sons, but Gerris was recently killed in
 the last rebellion. But Ulrick was the last son, making him Allyria's
sixth son and third son in succession.

Ulrick had almost been
born with a sword with his hand. As his mother would say. Who, by now
was more adept at raising her boys. He was raised with hearing the
stories of old, of knighthood and his house's fortune and history. He
was instilled with a sense of a duty, honour, and pride. Ulrick had
revered the memories of his father. But it'd been obvious that, Ulrick
was a standout among most his brothers growing up. Though most of them
were all largely good swordsman, they had all adopted their own various
roles to how their mother had groomed them too.

Personally,
Ulrick was a quiet and reserved child. He took to heart the tenants laid
out by traditional knight hood and is by all standards. A bit different
than most in the region one being more of a traditional knight by
Westerosi standards. Unfortunately he had never been truly Knighted as
per his wishes. He knows that it very much a hard to come by dream for
him considering that status of the kingdoms. He himself prescribes to
the ideals of the Seven fully, but isn't openly Militant. Viewing
himself as an embodiment of the Seven's Will in a sort of, 'Let me be the
 example of a good and justly man of the faith' Ulrick in his
later years saw the futility of him remaining at home. Deciding to
become a sworn sword to House Redmane, as part of a 'gift' her mother
sent to Aron Redmane, Which in all honesty he wouldn't mind. Ulrick had a
 sister he'd never been all that familiar with and this was his chance
to seek glory for his Namesake. When Ulrick arrived at Redwater, Ser Aron was surprised that Ulrick was not a knight, let alone never having squired. Even though Ulrick was too old, Ser Aron took him as his own squire in order to honor his late brother's name.
