Post by Deleted on Sept 15, 2012 18:47:47 GMT
Name: Theon Greyjoy
Age:20
Place of Birth: Pyke
Current Place of Residence: With Robb's army, marching south.
House: House Greyjoy
Family: Balon Greyjoy, Father
Asha Greyjoy, Sister
Alannys Harlaw, Mother
Euron Greyjoy, Uncle
Victarion Greyjoy, Uncle
Aeron Greyjoy, Uncle
Appearance:
Garb: Theon wears average clothes of the North, in contrast to his Ironborn heritage. He often wears furs, accented with various trinkets and rings that he has bought from around Winterfell and Riverrun. There is generally a sword strapped to his waist, and he has a tendency to wear tick soled boots.
Height:5' 10"
Weight: 150
Personality: Theon is arrogant, believing himself to be better than almost everyone around him. This leads to confrontations, and never backing down from fights. He is clever at jibes, always quick to insult, and quick to anger when he is insulted. This anger is a terrifying thing, and transforms the generally arrogant Theon into a vicious monster.
He is always smiling, like life is a joke that only he knows. This is sometimes unnerving to people, but Theon doesn't care, he just keeps on smiling. He cannot handle humiliation, and will spend days fuming and plotting ways to get back at whoever humiliated him.
Theon has a very good sense of humor, and is able to make a jest about almost anything. This can come in handy, because some people can be won over by a good joke.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Weapons: Bows, but also fights with a sword when the occasion calls for it.
Armour: Theon owns a set of armor, made for him by the castle smith of Winterfell. It is black steel, and on the breast there is a large kraken. It is standard armor, not very ornate, but it is strong.
Skills:
Archery: Theon is one of the best archers in Westeros, and can outshoot many others. This comes in handy during battle, as he can soften up the enemy with a volley of arrows before they clash.
Humor: Theon has a naturally good sense of humor, and is clever enough to make up a good jest on the spot. This can make some people look past the arrogance that consumes the rest of him, and consider him a decent person.
Weaknesses:
Arrogant: Theon is arrogant to a point were it can be impossible to stay around him, if he thinks himself better than you. Some people he acknowledges as being his betters, a few High Lords, the Clegane brothers, and other great knights. But if you aren't one of those people, Theon will make note of how he is better than you at every opportunity.
Stuck in the Middle: Theon was raised to maturity in the North, but his childhood was spent on the Iron Islands. The disparity between these two places makes it difficult for Theon to fit in, as he is not a true Northman, or an Ironborn. He desperately wants to be accepted in the Islands, and will do whatever it takes to secure his position.
History: Theon was raised until the age of ten by his family on Pyke, the seat of House Greyjoy. He trained in the arts of war and sailing, and was trained by the master reavers of Pyke in the ways of the Ironborn.
When his father deemed it was necessary to separate from the rest of the Kingdoms, the other Houses of Westeros came flocking in on the Iron Islands. The rebellion was crushed, Theon's brothers were killed, and Theon was taken as a hostage by Eddard Stark of Winterfell. He knew that he would be separated from his family for a long time, likely until his father was dead. Theon waited, patiently, as Ned Stark raised him almost as one of his own. He knew that he would never be a Stark, but he still thought of Robb as a brother. Sometimes he thinks that he might not be treated as a son when he returns to Pyke, and that he will need to prove himself.
Ned Stark's unfortunate death left Theon in a precarious position. He stayed to fight with Robb, but word is that he may be sent to attempt to secure the allegiance of House Greyjoy to the cause of the North. He fights as a protector of the King in the North, but he longs to return home to the salt of Pyke. His father has recently died, falling from a bridge above Pyke in a storm, and he longs to return home now more than ever.
RP Sample:
Theon stared out over the North, looking from the highest tower in Winterfell. Wintertown stretched out below him, and in the distance he could see the Wolfswood. The North was a cruel, hard place, and Theon Greyjoy was a man who didn't belong there. The winds howled around his head, and Theon thought it sounded oddly like a woman wailing for her loved ones. It very well could be, after the recent siege of Winterfell. The smallfolk had suffered, undergoing casualties. Good thing too, Theon thought, a smirk gracing his face less of them to complain. The peasants always complained to the Lord of wherever they lived, unless it was the Iron Islands. A man there was judged by how well he could fight, and how he pillaged. If a peasant had the audacity to complain to their Lord, it would be laughed off, and they would be sent back to whatever ship they came from. That was they way it should be, a man judged by his worth. No weak fool of a man should be able to be a knight just because he was charismatic. It took a strong man like Theon to lead, and lead he would.

Likes:
- Battle: Theon enjoys watching as the lesser die at his feet. He knows he is better, and takes joy in the proof. When he wins in battle, his joy is unmatched. The arrogant side of him delights in watching the failure of others.
- Sex: Theon, like many other men, just enjoys sex. He is often found wenching in whatever village is closest to him.
- Robb Stark: Robb Stark is the person who was always kindest to Theon, and they grew to be like brothers. Theon enjoys the company of Robb, and the two are close.
Dislikes:
- Weaklings: Theon has an intense dislike for weak people and smallfolk. He is cruel to them, as he considers himself better than they are.
- The Cold: Theon hates the cold, and would much rather be warm. He is not meant for the North, and it seems to reject him with the weather.
- Wolves: He doesn't like wolves, they frighten him, although he would never admit it. Their size and strength is somewhat intimidating to him, and he hates direwolves all the more because they are larger than the average wolf.
Weapons: Bows, but also fights with a sword when the occasion calls for it.
