Character Profile: Darys is shrewd, well educated, polite and outspoken. He has a somewhat sunny disposition in contradiction to his brother Orys; often making light of serious situations with japes and smart comments. This has lead to many a fight with his siblings Orys and Emrys. Being the youngest of the three, Darys uses his wit to battle his siblings as he believes them to be allied against him for his youth. Darys excells in affairs that include intellect, although this has yet to be put to the test in terms of battle strategy. Unlike his elder brother, he doesn't have much of an interest in swordplay and battle glory, and doesn't seem to be particularly good at it. He is at his best with a bow or a book in his hand.
Although claiming to be Orys' polar opposite, Darys has before shown he has a temper not to be tangled with when pushed too far. Between his brother and sister he enjoys teasing Emrys the most and has a somewhat love-hate-relationship with her, Emrys has observed that his picking on her is representative of his worldly view of women, as he often objectifies them and is extremely fond of whoring. Similarly to concubines, he is also at prey to a skin of wine. For his overall demeanor, Darys was often considered the odd one out of his family as viewed as somewhat of a fool or one of comedic value, especially by his father. Darys has often expressed his relief of his fathers passing when he is brought up in conversation. He is afflicted with a clubbed foot which forces him to limp whenever he walks, and be in constant aid of a cane. Moving tends to tire him out easily with the dead-weight of his leg
Another factor of Dary's not being taken very seriously is his pretty-boy good-looks. He is considerably more skinny than his war-monger brother, but still retains the typical Baratheon looks: tall, with very broad shoulders, black hair and blue eyes. He is a little more well kept, and has a short beard nigh-on stubble as opposed to a bush.
Skills and Attributes: Archery: What Darys lacks with a sword he makes up for in archery. Reigning the best marksman out of his siblings since they all learned to pick up bows. This skill provides that he is a good hunter, despite not being known to be very stealthy. Educated: Darys has an extremely vast knowledge as he is very fond of reading. He could tell you about every king who came to reign and what their sigil is. He is also fond of culture and has a deal of book-smarts when involving foreign knowledge. Wits: What may be undermined as class-clown syndrome, Darys' easy-going nature and smart mouth have unstuck him from several sticky situations.
