Personality: Alistair is a calm man, and won't speak unless spoken to. Before making any decision, he compares to good and the bad things. So he isn't one for rash decisions.

Though it's hard to make his father proud, as he has no brothers or cousins to best.

Dislikes:
Weapons: Alistair is trained in a large variety of weapons, but prefers the longsword he was given for his 18th nameday. So for it has only been used once, because while training, he prefers to use a regular sword, as to not damage his. Even though it can also be used from horseback, Alistair prefers to use it while standing next to his fellow soldiers.
Armour:
Plate Covers protect Alistair's feet from anything falling on it, or something in that spirit.
He has chain mail protecting his legs from slashes of swords, or impacts from arrows. He didn't want to have plating there as it would limit his movement.
Alistair wears a light and thin plate of steel to cover his torso. Even though it isn't really thick and therefore not extremely protective, it does give him much mobility so he can 'dodge' the hacks and slashes.
leather spaulders somewhat protect his shoulders, but it doesn't decrease his ability to swing a sword.
The entirity of his arm is covered in a light mail. It doesn't protect him like a plate would, but it does give his mother some faith.
There is a helmet, somewhere, Alistair just decided he didn't want to wear a helmet. It would lessen his sight and he'd be unable to see the enemy coming.
Skills: Alistair was trained in swordsmanship by the master at arms from Silvershield. He taught him how to use a sword, and how to kill with it. He also taught Alistair how to ride a horse. At the age of 12, he became the squire of Torin Lannister, who taught him even more. He did feel like a servant though, and is still surprised that he managed to hold it out.
His father taught him strategies as well, as he would lead the soldiers when his father would die. He learned about morale and other things. When he was little, his father would shout at him for not understanding it. Though he didn't understand everything until he had gotten real life experience. Now that he'd gotten experience in warfare, he slowly began to remind his lessons and their meaning.
Weaknesses: Alistair has the tendency to drink too much, and then becomes a bad guest or host. This has caused him some troubles, like disrespectful treatment by lords, and fights with his family. When he first experienced battle, he understood that he had a problem when a few of his men were drunk and died. Now he is trying to get it under control.
Alistair easily picks a fight. If someone insults him, he gives the other man a chance to apologize. If he does not, Alistair challenges him to a fight. Most of the times he'd win, but there were also times that he'd lose everything. He doesn't know whether it is something passed down or that he developed it for some reason. He does know that he won't let anyone walk over him.
History:
Alistair was born as the son of Lord Edwynn Creyon. His mother wasn't of noble birth, and not from Westeros. His mother always took care of him, like most mothers do. She didn't want her son being trained to kill from a young age, but she also knew that it wasn't up to her to decide that. When he grew up, he learned the ways of the sword at a young age. The master at arms taught him as much as he could. Finally, when he was 12, he became Torin Lannister's squire. He had to do simple but important tasks like saddling Torin's horse or caring for the his weapons and armour. He felt like a servant, but finally, on his 18th, he was knighted. His father was proud of him, but it was something he expected his son to become.
When he was a knight, his father began to teach him as well. Only not about fighting. Alistair was taught how to position men, and how to keep the spirit high. He learned that, if an army suffers much casualties, they want to go home and lose the spirit to fight. While on the other hand, if an army kills much men and wins battles, they gain confidence in themselves and their comrades, and therefore fight harder. His father also made him learn the houses, their cities, their banners and their members. He didn't, and still doesn't understand why he had to know all those things. He just thought that it was more important to know the history of their house.
When he was 19, his father and the the lord of Highever, a city only about a day's ride from Silvershield, arranged a marriage between Alistair and Everen, the daughter of Highever's lord. He didn't really know her well. He'd seen her a few times during parties and those things, but he never really spoke to her, the occasional 'hello' set aside. A few months later, they were married. By now he just had his 20th nameday. The wedding was big, but sadly enough also very boring. Alistair never really liked these things, like socializing with lords and other people. But he also knew that these things were very important to the house and for when he would be lord.
When the war started, Alistair was tasked with rallying the soldiers, and then to lead them into battle with the Lannisters. He knew who they were, but didn't quite know anything about how they fight, or how large their army was. He did know that they had loads of money, and that they could buy thousands of soldiers if they really wanted.
After that, he went to King's Landing in his father's stead to swear fealty to the new king, king Joffrey. He stayed there for a while, and was stuck when Stannis Baratheon attacked the city. He joined his former mentor and valiantly fought against the Baratheon forces until the battle was won.
RP Sample:
It was a nice day, not too warm, not too cold. It didn't rain, and there was almost not a cloud in the sky. It seemed like a perfect day for two armies to clash. As only son of a lord that served the Lannisters, he was chosen to lead his father's men. His group was tasked with defending the centre of a small hill. He positioned his men, so that the pikemen protected the swordsmen from the cavalry, and the swordsmen protected the pikemen from the enemy infantry. Both groups protected the archers, as they were the weakest.
The enemy came closer, almost in firing range. The archers were readying their bows, as the infantry was getting ready to stand their ground. They had the clear advantage. Uphill, and with the sun in their back. The man that chose this place for a stand was quite a genius. They would cut trough the enemies like a hot knife tough butter.
”Archers!! ready!!”
”Take aim!”
”FIRE!!”
The archers sent a salvo of arrows in the air, on their way to hit the enemy. Arthur had a secret in his pocket though. Once the enemy infantry got to his men, he would send the cavalry that is hidden in the woods, to the enemy archers and flank them. He just had to blow a horn to initiate their attack. Minutes seemed like hours, and the enemy finally got close. Arthur's men prepared themselves. They would either live or die today, their fate was in their own hands. The enemy archers were exposed.
Arthur blew the horn. The horsemen stormed out of the woods and smashed right trough the formation of archers. In seconds, all their archers were annihilated, and the riders shifted their attention to the back of the enemies that were fighting their friends further up the hill. They ran up and killed the enemy from behind.
The battle was won, and the horsemen were tasked with gathering the stragglers. The others were allowed to sit down for a bit, and to eat and drink something. They'd deserved it. Meanwhile, Arthur sent a raven with the news to his father, and the commander of the army. Now, they'd wait for an answer, and hoped that they wouldn't be attacked.
