Appearance:
Jaime is a tall, sinewy man, with long, curly, golden hair, flashing green eyes and a smile that could cut like a knife. He is widely considered to be an extremely handsome man.
Garb:
While he may be a member of the Kingsguard Jaime is still a Lannister and as such he is often adorned in the finest silks and leathers when not wearing his armour in the service of the king. Well fitted boots and tailored tunics make up the majority of his wardrobe and as a Lannister, only the very best of clothing will do when not in the field.
Height: 6'3"
Weight:218lbs
Personality:
Jaime is often perceived by most to be either charming and quick-witted or callous and conceited. Many times he comes off as arrogant, amoral, and dishonorable based mostly from actions in his past, such as the betrayal of the Mad King. People tend to take what comes out of his mouth in the worst possible light, and often a simple joke might be seen as an insult or grave threat to ones life.
He does little to change peoples mind, caring little for what they think of him or what he does, arguing that most have no need to see beneath what he wishes them to see. Jaime learnt a long time ago while serving the Mad King Aerys to cope with the things he was exposed to, to make the intolerable tolerable by 'going away inside himself, putting up a stoney, noncaring defense that little can penetrate to deal with some harsh realities.
Whilst Jaime has taken his vows as a Kingsguard, should they conflict with his own personal sense of honour he will often choose a course of action and follow it through to conclusion regardless of the consequences. Should the need arise Jaime is quiet capable of turning vicious and cruel to further his own agenda, and there is little he won't do to keep his personal secrets just that...secret.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Weapons: Castle Steel Long Sword & Dagger. Jaime also has access to an arsenal of lances, bows, axes, maces and pretty much anything he might need to acquire in his defence of the king.
Armour: As a member of the Kingsguard (And its Lord Commander) Jaime is often seen adorned in perfectly crafted gold plate and scale armor with intricate white detailing. A white cloak and under clothes often accompany this outfit. Other times he can be seen wearing a much darker set of banded mail, yet again finely crafted to fit his body perfectly.
Skills:
Sword Master: There are few in Westeros who can match the Kingslayer in single combat and most who try quickly find themselves lacking before his superior skill. An inborn talent for the blade and years of training have honed him into a deadly adversary capable of holding his own against single targets or multiple foes with practiced ease.
Knight and Kingsguard
Jaime started his road to knighthood at the tender age of 11 as a squire, and at the age of 13 won his first Tourney, starting a history of martial prowess that would define him in the years to come. Jaime was knighted by Ser Dayne on the battlefield 4 years later after holding his own against the Smiling Knight. Now in his 30's he has spent 2 decades perfecting his martial skills.
Not limited to sword and shield, Jaime's years of training as first a knight then as a Kingsguard mean that his knowledge of arms extends to all manner of weapons, maces to axes, spears to daggers, and even bows. His masterery of the blade and lance have however left little time to become as proficient with such weapons and have left his skills lacking in these areas. As befits a knight of his status, Jaime is also an expert horseman and wielder of a lance, as comfortable in the saddle as he is on foot and with the knowledge of how to use either to his advantage.
Lord Commander
Not simply a title, Jaime is a proven leader of men on the field of battle, be it Goldcloaks, Lannistermen or any other combination of soldiers. Trained for warfare by many great teachers, knights and Maesters, Jaime is by no means a great general but he knows enough to be a confident commander.
Position of Content
Jaime has no ambitions beyond his current status, he does not desire the throne nor a kingdom to rule, thus making it very difficult to use such things as bribes to alter his loyalty or opinions.
Weaknesses:
Over Confidence
Jaime's pride and confidence in his own martial prowess sometimes blind him to an opponents true danger, something which adds to the air of arrogance around him. While his skills with a blade are the stuff legends may one day be sung about, his over confidence may be his undoing before that time, he is after all still only one man and cannot defend himself from every angle at once.
Hidden Passions
Jaime's relationship with his sister is the cause of many rumours within Westeros and while the truth is hidden from prying eyes it is a constant struggle for the Kingslayer to mask his feelings towards her lest he be found out.
Tainted Reputation
Jaime earned the moniker 'Kingslayer' due to an act of betrayal and now lives with the mistrust this act instils in others. Much of what he says or does is seen in the worst possible light and people tend to view his actions with suspicion.
History:
Jaime Lannister is the second born child to Tywin & Joanna Lannister, slightly behind his twin sister Cersei. The two were inseparable as children and the two eventually started experimenting sexually, when it was discovered the two were separated with Jaime's bedchamers made to move to the opposite side of the Castle. At age eleven Jaime was sent to Squire under Lord Sumner Crakehall, at thirteen he won his first tourney.
Jaime was Knighted at 15 by Ser Arthur Dayne after defeating the Kingswood Brotherhood. While returning to King's Landing he met Cersei for the first time in quite some time, she warned him that Tywin intended to marry him to Lysa Tully, which would see the two almost constantly separated. Instead Jaime joined the Kingsguard at the urging of his twin sister so they could be closer to each other but Tywin left as Hand of the King following Jaime's appointment which resulted in Cersei being brought back to Casterly Rock, and Jaime was now stuck guarding the King. Jaime served faithfully but was conflicted about the King's actions, such as the vicious rape of the Queen and the execution of the Starks. When Robert's war broke out Tywin sacked King's Landing and when he reached the throneroom Aerys demanded Jaime cut down Tywin, Jaime instead murdered King Aerys.
Although Eddard Stark protested, arguing that Jaime should at the very least be made to join the Night's Watch, Jaime was pardoned by King Robert Baratheon I and, along with Ser Barristan Selmy, continued to serve in the Kingsguard. Robert also gave him the name Kingslayer, an apt title for his earlier actions. Though reviled by the realm for his betrayal, Jaime considers the slaying of Aerys to be his finest act. His true motivation for killing King Aerys remains unknown to the masses.
Though his sister Cersei was wed to Robert and made Queen, she and Jaime renewed their illicit relationship and continued it throughout Robert's reign. In the following years, Cersei would give birth to three children: Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen. Though believed by the realm to be Robert's children, Jaime is the father of all three, and all three resemble their real parents.
After the death of their foster-father Jon Arryn, King Robert travels north to visit Ned Stark at Winterfell and persuade him to become Lord Arryn's successor as Hand of the King. Jaime himself is Jon's successor as Warden of the East rather than Robert Arryn, who would have been the traditional appointee. The king is accompanied by much of the court, among them Jaime, Cersei, and their brother Tyrion.
While at Winterfell, Jaime and Cersei attend the feast given by House Stark. Later, they are caught having sex by Bran Stark. Bran is shocked and almost falls from the tower. Jaime pulls him up and then throws him out of the window, intending to kill him to keep the affair a secret. Bran survived but fell into a coma keeping the Lannisters affair a secret for now.
With the death of Robert, Jaime returned to Kings landing to stand watch over the Iron Throne untill a successor was named in his nephew Joffery. There he remained, witnessing Ned Starks execution with the same stoney expression he had born through his service to the mad king. Now Lord Commander of the Kingsguard Jaime is sworn to the King and serves him with the same devotion as he has the others before him.
Most recently he found himself a captive of the Starks, held for months in a small cell and threatened numerous times with death. He is currently on his way back to Kingslanding as part of a hoped hostage exchange, his only escort the warrior woman Brienne...
RP Sample:
Jaime sat astride his a powerfull looking grey steed slightly to the rear right of the Kings shoulder, close enough to intervene but not to close to impose on the young man. While he may have been a Kingsguard, he had little interest in listening to the petty bargaining that came with such an event. He had no liking of the young King duty demanded that he serve him to the best of his abilities and that is what he would do till death released him from his service.
His face bore no expression as he watched the guests arrive at the kings calling, paying their respects as they entered the courtyard. His white armour gleemed in the sunlight, the rays dancing off the polished surface of his breastplate and shield, long white cloak running over the hind quarters of the beast he rode.
As his brother Torin arrived he aknowledged the younger man with a simple nod and little else, he was here to guard the king and not make small talk with the other Lords, that could wait untill the evening when he would be relieved by the other members of the royal guard. He let his eyes skim over the others assembled, bowing his head a little to each in turn that he recognised or caught the eye of, Lena Arryn, Adelaide Baratheon and his father numbered amongst the guests that he counted.
He caught the eye of the old man of the Lannister house and held his gaze for a few moments before bowing his head again in respect, to both the head of a great house, and to his father. Despite what happened between them he was still family and deserved nothing less.
It was the next entrant that caught, the base of his weapon thudding into the ground of the courtyard as he strode in as bold as day and loud as protesting ox. Jaime's hand immediately went to the hilt of his sword, sweeping back his cloak as he did so, the hands of the Kingsguard following suite as they eyed the grey bearded man warily, knowing full well what he was capable of with that weapon in his hands. His hand tightened round the leather grip and his jaw clenched as the Reaper made his mock bows and prostrated himself before the young king, face down in the dirt.
Despite what he felt about the presence of the Greyjoy the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard held his tongue but kept his hand on his weapon, eyes on the Lord of Pyke.
