In this fanfiction piece, I'm using a "Game of Thrones" world created by George R. R. Martin in his epic series "A Song of Ice and Fire". Here, I'm introducing a male original character referring to 'OC' to the exiting storyline, with a name 'Edrick Storm', a bastard son of King Robert Baratheon but with influential and strategic abilities that could impact the great game.

The Developing Background

Born from a brief affair between Robert Baratheon and a lowly maiden, Edrick Storm has lived much of his life in relative obscurity at Storm's End. Educated by the master-at-arms of the Baratheon household, Ser Davos Seaworth, Edrick has grown into a young man of great intellect, strength, and charisma. However, the truth of his parentage remains concealed.

The story begins with Edrick, who begins to investigate the sudden death of Jon Arryn through a secret coded message. The mystery surrounding Arryn's death gives Edrick a purpose, awakening the storm that has lain dormant inside him.

Character Development

Throughout the story, Edrick's character evolves. He transforms from a naive young man to a cunning strategist, reflecting the harsh realities of Westeros. He navigates his dubious status, often exploited by the manipulating figures of King's Landing. However, he uses these experiences to shape his senses and to be better prepared for the impending political plot.

Characters Interactions

Edrick's interactions with the existing characters from the series are exciting and well-integrated. He is caught in a clandestine meeting with Varys, the Master of Whisperers, building an alliance with him for uncovering the secrets behind Arryn's death. He also has a romantic tension with Shae, Tyrion Lannister's lover, introducing an element of romance and betrayal.

Conflict and Challenges

Throughout his journey, Edrick faces multiple conflicts and challenges. His fight with the Lannisters, particularly Jaime Lannister is thrilling. The power broker Petyr Baelish views him as a potential threat and a tool at the same time, making the political dynamics more complicated.

Resolution

The climax of this fanfic comes with the revelation of Jon Arryn's murder. Edrick's decisive actions lead to uncovering the true culprits, but instead of seeking revenge, he uses the information to strengthen his position in the council.
