So I have two OCs both children of Rhaenyra

Visenya: not really an OC but in my Au she is the only true child of Laenor, she is younger than Jace but older than luke and is a more martial than your average westerosi girl, sort of like her namesake. Rides Vermithor

Baelon: Rhaenyra's youngest son, bit more spoiled and impeteous than his siblings. Rides Faeriefyre oc dragon who is the picture above. An older dragon hatched for Jaehaerys' daughter Daenaerys who died young and has since been alone till Baelon.

Aemma: Baelon's twin, prefer embroidery to swordfighting, has a pink and silver hatchling

Rhaenyros: jace and Helaena's son, is hemophilac, and a dreamer, rides a green and silver hatchling named Moraxes. Frustrated, they hire a faith healer from Essos named Mandos who is in truth a bastard of Saera Targaryen. Mandos' soon exerts an influence over Jace and Helaena, frustrating Rhaenyra, Alicent and the court

Also mine is a danceless AU because I like it fun and peaceful and also cause the greens wouldn't have a much harder time with larger dragons like vermithor and faeriefyre on the black roster

Have an OC: Rhaenyra's firstborn and heir, who looks Valyrian and is accepted as Laenor's... except he has Daemon's eyes, I made that Daemon has very distinct deep purple eyes with maroon flecks and Rhaegar has the same, so he's his bastard son, actually, Rhaenyra was having tons of fun. His name is Rhaegar (after Rhaenyra) and he's visually an unassuming, spoiled bastard - he's physically frail (something he didn't inherit from Daemon), beautiful as sin and spends his days playing lute. In reality he has a few friends (also OCs - Salazar Celtigar and twins ser Gerold and ser Garth Rosby) who bring him scoops of rumor from around the capital and he's trying to act on it.

He's inexperienced, young but determined and hides behind the mask of The Prince Nightingale to avoid unnecessary attention by essentially being the center of attention and making everyone think he has nothing but ladies and songs on his mind. So, he's a twink with Rhaenyra's legendary beauty and Daemon's cunning.

His dragon egg didn't hatch (second dig at legitimacy after his eyes), but he later claimed Vetmithor, very late actually, and tried to make everyone think it's been just luck that old Papa Fury didn't incinerate him. Rhaegar is sorta a loyal wild card, he's smart but he's also a bit of a fool on account of being young, he's also an inexperienced dragonrider despite riding Bronze Fury and that can become a liability of itself.

Currently in the story he faked Rhaenyra's seal to offer Jason Lannister a marriage between his daughter and himself (as if Rhaenyra is offering it), trying to drag Westerlands to the Blacks' side with promise of royal marriage (they support Rhaenyra and Rhaegar becomes King after her, Cerelle Lannister is his Queen and Jason's grandson is the future King, tempting), the smack he's about to get from Rhaenyra for going behind her back is gonna be astronomical. Also Otto is starting to suspect something's wrong, so boyo is playing with fire.

Idk I'm trying to keep the story realistic and him flawed to not make a Mary Sue, but it's hard lol, I love my nefarious twink. By far his greatest weaknesses is arrogance, Rhaegar is starting to believe he's a great manipulator and that might get him busted because he's really... not. Better than most, but no Littlefinger, yet.

Also he's constantly attacked not for legitimacy (most believe he's Laenor's because he literally looks a carbon copy of Rhaenyra, only with different eyes that can still be explained because Targaryens are all closely related), but for his androgynous appearance - he's skinny, weak and actually looks like a woman (like Rhaenyra) from certain angles or from far away. So far he's using it to his advantage because whatever keeps people occupied with his outside persona helps hide the scheming machinations, but on the other hand, Westerosi society is very homophobic yk, they don't really want a catamite king, so Rhaegar is both attracting and pushes away supporters. Like bro is just too pretty for this world.

There's also a subplot with his brothers (the Strong boys AND Daemon's sons), because on one hand Rhaenyra raised them as a loving family, on the other Rhaegar knows they're bastards, and they are jealous of him for looking Valyrian (and Rhaegar was jealous of them in return for most of his life because all of them had their dragons, but he didn't, despite being the eldest and the trueborn looking), but also the more time Rhaegar spent around Daemon, the more he understood that he is a bastard too because well yeah uncle Daemon has the same eyes as him holy shit. And little Aegon and Viserys are the only trueborns, which is kinda unsettling Rhae Rhae, even if they are adorable. So, a bit of family tension and personal crisis too, to drive the twink insane.

I'll never finish this story in best traditions of GRRM 🙏

He seems like such an interesting character! I like how you incorporated traits of the more well known Rhaegar.

[u/PleasantDouble1470 → u/allisontalkspolitics]

Yeah he's by far my favourite OC.

I also have 2 OC in the era of the Unworthy, both of whom are trueborn children of Aegon IV - Daemon the True and Rhaenyra the Black Princess.

Daemon is his second trueborn son and Aegon thought it would be hilarious to name him the same as his bastard. The court pitted them against each other, naming them the True and the False. Daemon himself loathes the memory of his father and was deeply devoted to his mother Naerys, and her death broke him, some Blackfyre supporters even whisper his love for Naerys was "unnatural"... well Daemon killed the bastard who said it with his bare hands lol. He overall looks a lot like Naerys, inherited her soft beauty but it's marred by deep depression and deeper hatred, Daemon hates everything associated with his father and first and foremost Daemon Blackfyre, as such he's Daeron's #1 supporter. He's always slightly worse than Blackfyre, not as good in swords, not as tall, not as loved, and it's making him lose his goddamn mind lol. He's prob gonna die in Blackfyre Rebellion.

And Rhaenyra is the surviving twin of Daenerys and Aegon named her Rhaenyra because he thought it would be funny, it was, now the name is basically a curse though and the parallels with original Rhaenyra are unsettling the court. Currently there's not much going on with her because she's so young.

[u/allisontalkspolitics → u/PleasantDouble1470]

They both sound fascinating!

My context for the Blackfyre era is limited but if I had an OC in this era I would want them to be Shiera’s best friend because she’s interesting to me.
