Westeros. A land of lords and ladies, of kings and queens, of knights and mercenaries, and of dragons and dire wolves. It's a land where the wrong marriage could get you killed, and the right marriage could get you a throne. It's a land where power is everything, and those with it, don't give it up so easily. But most importantly, it's a land of seven kingdoms.
It's been two hundred years since the War of Five Kings was ended before it had really begun. Daenerys Targareyan returned with three dragons by her side and took back the Iron Throne before any blood could be shed. Everyone had heard the stories and anyone laying claim to the Iron Throne quickly lay down their swords, not interested in quarreling with dragons. Westeros moved on with a new queen, someone that everyone respected or feared. Daenerys ruled fairly and she later continued the Targareyan tradition and married her nephew, Aegon, who was discovered in Essos. Time ticked on by and the threat of civil war slowly faded until everyone felt safe, and that war was not coming anytime soon. Life went on.
Now, Daeron Targareyan sits on the Iron Throne at the age of 17, his father having been taken by sickness. But all is not well. The Lannisters, sensing weakness in the new king, desire to reclaim the power they once wielded two centuries ago, and they are searching for allies in the other great houses. The Lannisters do not plan on backing down, and soon, sides will be chosen. Will you side with the Targaryens or the Lannisters? Will it be for personal gain or for the glory of your house? Choose carefully though. When you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die.

Name: John Stark
Age: 17
House: Stark
Family:
Mother: Lady Maege Stark, formerly Lady Maege Umber. She is a proud woman of about 48. She cares greatly about her family and would do anything to protect them. She believes that the greatest weapon one can wield is their words and she is skilled with hers.
Father: The late Lord Brandon Stark. He was taken by fever two years ago, leaving John as the reigning lord of the North and of Winterfell. He was honorable and proud, never backing down. He served as the former king's Hand.
Brothers:
John wields the ancestral sword of House Stark, a Valyrian Steel sword called Ice.
Title: Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North, and soon to be Hand of the King.
Personality: John can best be described as a Stark. Because that is what he is. He's honorable, smart, and proud. He's kind to peasants and lords alike but he isn't afraid to stand his ground against the likes of the Lannisters, a House that he has no love for.
Bio: John was born as the winter was slowly fading into summer. He was the first born child of Lady Maege and Lord Brandon and as such he was spoiled rotten. When he was eight years old his father accepted the position of Hand of the King for the then king, Jaehaerys Targaryen, and he went with him. He spent the next eight years in King's Landing, going back to Winterfell only occasionally. As such he became good friends with the now king, Daeron, and he considers him one of his closest allies. The two would often play together in the Red Keep, scaring his mother's handmaidens and spying on the small council meetings. When John's father fell ill they traveled back to Winterfell where his father died three months later, leaving him as the new Lord of House Stark. Since then he has been trying to make a name for himself as someone who respects his subjects but will fight for what he believes in.
Other:John is the owner of a direwolf named Shiera, after one of Aegon IV's bastards, a woman who seduced many men and was considered a powerful sorceress. His mother gave him the idea after he stated he wanted to name the animal something powerful. She said that most women find power in words not in weapons, and then told him the story of Shiera Seastar.
"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die."
Name: Daeron Targaryen]
Age: 17
House: Targaryen
Family:
Mother: His mother is Queen Olenna Targaryen, formerly Lady Olenna Tyrell. She is a courageous woman, not afraid to fight for her family in whatever manner possible. She is the same age as Lady Maege Stark and the two grew close while the Starks were in King's Landing.
Father: Daeron's father was the late King Jaehaerys Targaryen, a man who was praised for his strong leadership. Jaehaerys died at the age of 49, when he fell ill and died in quick succession. He was a brave man, riding into battle fearlessly to defend not only his claims, but his men as well.
Brothers:
Daeron is known for utilizing a sword that was forged in the times of Daenarys Targaryen, Athdrivar, which is the Dothraki word for death.
Title: Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms/King on the Iron Throne/King of Westeros.
Personality: Daeron has always been described as ambitious. He's always wanted power. Lucky thing he was born into the royal family. However he wants more. Some think he is too hungry for power, others believe that ambition will protect them. Whether or not they are right may soon be revealed. Daeron is also known for his temper, and could be described as obnoxious during his outbursts. However, he is a kind person to his friends and tries to be kind to his subjects as well.
Bio: Daeron was the first born child of King Jaehaerys and Queen Olenna. He was doted upon from an early age and given anything he could possibly want. Unlike some noble children, he refused to squire for a knight, stating he was too good for a position of servitude. His parents didn't press the subject and he continued on with his life. Now he is king, and he is blind to the games the Lannisters are playing, seeing as how his eyes are set across the Narrow Sea, in the land of Essos. Daeron is a true Targaryen and he lusts for the conquer. Whether he follows through or not is the million gold dragon question.
