| Name : Theon Greyjoy Full Title : Lord Theon Greyjoy Ward of Winterfell and Heir to Pyke Current Location : The Riverlands Roleplaying Sample : Winterfell had been busy ever since Robb’s betrothed had arrived, lord and ladies buzzing around like crows to see the future Lady Stark. It made Theon sick, Robb was always the center of everything and he always got pushed to the side. Theon was the heir to Pyke yet when times got busy in Winterfell he was ignored for the Stark children, nobody valued the Greyjoy heir, when company arrived he stood with the other men of the castle usually between Ser Rodrick and Measter Luwin, he should be in the front row with the Stark children, he was a Greyjoy of Pyke, not some lord of a worthless minor house. Today it was the Manderly’s who had arrived, he’d been to White Harbor once before many years ago when he was just a boy of fourteen, it had been the one time he’d felt at home in the North, but even so White Harbor wasn’t Pyke, and it still stank of the North. The greetings had long since ended and castle had returned mostly back to normal. Theon had made his way to the brothel only to find all the good whores taken by visiting men and some of their wives as well. With his lower self unsatisfied and his boredom steadily growing Theon’s mood was darkening as he returned to the castle. By the time Theon returned to the courtyard he had a scowl firmly in place on his face, even the archery range was inhabited by northmen, there was no place for him to entertain himself. That was when Theon noticed the lone girl in the courtyard, Lady Manderly he recalled, what was she doing? She was intriguing she was a daughter of the sea, but unlike the women of Bear Island, other Northern girls, or even the girls he remembered from his home she had the beauty and grace of a woman, but the strength of a woman of the sea, and that was rare. She would be fun to torment, it was always fun to see how long a lady could remain a lady whilst talking to him, he had a way with bringing out the worst in people. ”Interesting isn’t it, you know why the Young Wolf is marrying a southern girl? Because of the tits, most Northern women are far too flat, far too ugly, some even have beards in fact most Northern girls are often confused for men under their furs. But not you no you have the tits of a southern woman.” Theon smirked he couldn’t care if he was being rude, no doubt she had heard of the dirty monster the Starks’ kept prisoner, of his whoring and drinking, no doubt that was why she was trying so hard to pretend she wasn’t inspecting him. Well Theon didn’t want to disappoint so he would live up to his reputation. History/Personality: Pride Pride is a sin you are rank with. You are Theon Greyjoy, you aren’t just a man, you are the Heir to Pyke. You are a lord and you will never forget it. You will not let yourself live in the shadow of another man. You will fight to make your name matter. You are Theon Greyjoy you are second to no man. You take pride in who you are and what you can do. Envy Envy is your mortal sin, when paired with your pride your envy will be your undoing. You are on the outside to the people around you. You are nothing more than collateral. You are Ironborn, yet you’ve spent 10 years with Northmen. You will never be Warden of the North, you will always be the outsider in Winterfell. Even the bastard is less of an outsider than you, he could become a Stark one day but you will only ever be their ward. Why do you even care? You are a Greyjoy, you will be the lord of Pyke. Why do you want what Robb has? Why do you want so desperately to be an insider, because there is one thing they have that you will never have, they have family. You will one day have lands, titles, armies, sons, and riches, but you will never have a father’s love, you barely know the loving touch of a mother, you never will know what it is like to have siblings. Your father is cold, your mother far away, your brothers are dead, and your sister grown, your family is gone. For ten years you have lived with the knowledge that no matter how well the Stark’s treat you, no matter how much you try you know they would never do for you what they would do for their own. You are not Lord Eddard’s son, you are his ward, his leverage. Deep down you know that you are truly alone in Winterfell and that makes you seethe with Envy. Lust Lust may be a sin but as of right now it is not an issue for you. You may be lustful or you may just have the libido of a nineteen year old man. You should not be faulted for your lust, you are a lord a soldier, and a man sex is your right. As a man you have three kingdoms, the bedroom, the battlefield, and the hunt, to deny your lust would be to deny your right to be a man. You are a proud and skilled lover, you bought your first whore when you were fourteen, and you have bought many a whore since. You don’t have to buy your women, you are a handsome, strong, and powerful man. You aren’t Robb Stark, but if you wanted a wife you could have one. You don’t want a wife though you just want the sex. You just want the attention, because when you are with a woman there is no Robb Stark there is nobody else, and for those paid for hours you are the only man who matters to the whore. Deep down though you do get jealous of the other men who sleep with your favorite whores. Honor You believe in honor, your father taught you honor, he taught you what it meant to be a Greyjoy he taught you to pay the Iron Price, but it was Eddard Stark who taught you real honor. You have the ability to be an honorable man because of him but you’d never admit it. You want honor you crave it. You want the respect and power that comes with true honor. You want men to respect you and fight for you, you would do anything for honor. There you go again letting your pride confuse honor with glory, a great soldier can earn glory a great man has honor. True honor is a way of life, an honorable man does what is best for his family no matter the cost, he keeps his oaths, protects the meek, admits his wrongs, learns from his mistakes, and carries out his own justice. You struggle with honor, you let your pride get in the way, and you will risk your values for personal glory. Loyalty Your loyalty is split you say you are a Greyjoy, but you were raised by the Starks. You are who you are because of the Starks, but you are too stubborn to realize that. You will be loyal to the Starks but only if it doesn’t conflict with your loyalties to your family. By all rights you should be loyal to the Starks above or equal to your own family but your pride doesn’t let you see all they have done for you. Loyalty is something you crave, something you believe you deserve. You see yourself as a great man who deserves the respect and loyalty of the people of the North and the Iron Islands, but what have you done to earn it? Family You have two families, you have the family that you were born into and the family that took you in and raised you. You are too proud to call the Starks your family, but when was the last time your father sparred with you? When was the last time your mother tucked you in, or your siblings wrestled with you? Robb, Bran, and Rickon are as much your brothers as the brothers you lost when you were nine, you would kill for them. It was Catelyn and Eddard who cared for you and treated you like one of their own. You were a prisoner, a boy taken in a war and held as collateral to keep your father from rebelling again. Despite who you are the Starks let you eat at their table and study with their children. You were treated as well as any of the Stark children. You love Sansa and Arya, but never once, even as Sansa began to develop have you ever looked on either one with a single lustful thought, and you would beat the daylights out of any man who did them wrong. Never once has your father or mother tried to get you back, your sister has never come to visit you, why haven’t they come for you? You have been abandoned by your family. You fear that your father wishes you had died and your brothers had lived. You fear that your people and your family would never rally behind you if your father were to die. Why do you still cling to them? Why do you refuse to embrace the family you truly have? Soldier You are a soldier, like any lordling you can fight and you can ride. You are skilled with a sword and swift on a horse. You are knowledgeable in the ways of war and you can wield every weapon in Winterfell’s armory. There is one weapon you are truly a master of, you are a master with the longbow: “The boar can keep his tusks, and the bear his claws. There's nothing half so mortal as a grey goose feather.” You are a master marksman, with a bow and arrow you are a force to be reckoned with. You’ve swung a sword and drawn a bow since you were old enough to walk. You’ve sailed since before you were even born. You are a sailor, even if you are very rusty at it, the sea is your blood and you take every chance you get to stand on the deck of a ship. You long for the sea and one of the best moments of your life was the week you spent in White Harbor. In White Harbor every day you had the sea in your lungs, and there were ships as far as the eye could see, it was one of the few times you felt at home whilst with the Starks. Lord You consider yourself a Lord but are you really truly a lord? You know of honor and war, but you would easily throw your honor away for glory and pride. You are the heir to Pyke, but you haven’t looked upon your castle since you were nine. You live in the shadow of Lord Eddard and Robb. How mighty of a lord can you be when you are still just the ward and prisoner of a more powerful man? You believe you deserve respect and power but you haven’t earned it. Would men follow you to battle Theon Greyjoy? You doubt it. You are a lord in name but you are not one in strength of character.
