game of thrones themed roleplay
stark
"Winter is Coming."
The once great house of the North and companion of wolves. In the snowy lands of the North, Stark Castle now sits as a barren wasteland of ashes and the Head Family either dead or in exhile, those that remain try their best to pick up the pieces of the home they came to adore. Those from House Stark tend to put family and honor before all else. Though they've also been known to have a vengeful streak in them. They never forget the names of their enemies. When winter comes, expect no help from one of the few families that have the means to survive. The North Remembers.
laNnister
"Hear Me Roar."
The Lannisters of Casterly Rock seem to be the most powerful family in all of Westoros at the moment. They hold the Iron Throne in the palm of their hands but they do not stand unopposed for it. Rumor has it that the acting King has as much right to the throne as any common folk. As he is not a Baratheon son but instead a product of that his mother has tried to keep quiet. The most hated family in the land, they value power, family and reputation. While they don't make the best company, they are the greatest allies. As the richest family in Westoros, a Lannister always repays their debts.
Tyrell
"Growing Strong."
For years the Tyrell family was content with their gardens and their children, more than happy to stay out of the way of politics. Until the daughter of the Head Family developed a hunger for the throne. To place her beside the king the Head of the House Tyrell has been doing all they can and so far all has been well. The Tyrell family has allied themselves with the Lannisters despite the whispers that in their lands it wouldn't exactly be news to find man laying with man and woman with woman. They value kindness, acceptance and family.
Bolton
"Our Blades are Sharp."
Now one of the most powerful house of the North, House Bolton leave pure fear in the hearts of their enemies. Known to bring about the best mercenaries and torture techniques, House Bolton is not one for mercy. They formerly showed loyalties to House Stark but with them gone, Bolotons take orders from no one yet they have no desire towards the throne. Too many games and secrets for their tastes, but a flayed man holds no secrets. They are known for their strength, cunning, and mercilessness.
night's watch
The Night's Watch is a military order of only men who vow to take no wives and father no children to guard The Wall, a fortification that gaurds the borders of the seven kingdoms from whitewalkers and everything else that lies on the other side of it. Despite being such an important structure as the years passed without incident and what lies beyond the wall became little more than myths, Watchmen have lost their influence. The only soldiers the kingdom sends are thieves, rapists, murderers and the other scums of society, with the exception of a few naive dreamers who hadn't known any better. They value only their duty and abandoning their posts will result in death, if they catch you.
Baratheon
"Ours is the Fury."
Formerly the house that ruled Westoros, the Baratheons pride good times and sunny days. This house consists of what is left of the Baratheon brothers ( Robert, Stannis, and Renley ) and Robert's many many bastard children. Though the lands are not safe for those with the old king's bood in their veins should very well keep it to themselves. Otherwise, you might find a mercernaries blade at your throat.
tArgaryeN
"Fire and Blood."
The masters of dragons and, long ago, the family that held the throne are all but extinct. When the last Targaryen king went mad and ordered the death of thousands it was the Lannisters that put him down, but they didn't stop there. Instead they ordered the execution of every Targaryen they could lay hands on. The only ones left alive were lucky enough to have escaped to exile. Like the Lannisters, they pride themselves on power and the belief that the throne is rightfully theirs, which they plan to take back by force.
frEy
The Freys, the only house with a larger target on their backs than the Lannisters. At the start of the war, the Frey House had remained neutral until a broken promise by the Starks led their Lord to trap and slaughter the Starks at an event forever known as The Red Wedding. Their only protection lies with their accomplices, the Lannisters, and their ownership of the Twin Castles of Green Fork and a vital bridge known as the trident. They value honesty and are known to be vengeful.
greyjoy
"We Do Not Sow."
The best fisherman in the lands, the Greyjoys are loyal to no one, not even each other. After betraying and burning House Stark to the ground, the Greyjoys find themselves with next to no allies. They value pride and independence. But they never forget those who have slighted them.
wildlings
The wildings are a society all their own. They live in the snowy mountains of the North beyond the wall. They are comprised of those that belief the seven kingdoms are doomed when winter arrives and would rather take their chances amongst the Others. While the wildlings may not be the brightest or most graceful, they turn downn no one. Giants, wargs and a host of other creatures can be found amongst their numbers.
