Haha, I don’t think it’ll make too much of a difference!
Possibly not, but I would be remiss in making my character to screw that much with the lore. In truth I don't actually need to change very much, some names is really all that needs changing and one or two events.
also GODDAMNITMANATEEKHFLHDNLND... I didn't do my research on my own god damned house sonofabitch. I need to edit my sheet now(I assumed housse Wylde was not even mentioned pass Jon, but now I have to edit *sigh*) thanks for bringing this to my attention Gowi... I got work to do on biography
I’m not particularly certain myself. The only reason I validated it with Damon is “heir” and “responsibilities”. On that note, would you be on Damon’s sort of task force for Fairmarket?
Most likely yes, I would like to know also what Damon thinks of Jon, who is not a born riverlander, and married his sister. But yes, as a knight I'd imagine he is on the force, though with war on the horizon I don't think that force will last to long!
"I was not born here, and this may not be my home, but I will do as Wyldes always have, and bring the storm to your enemies"
Appearance
Jon Wylde looks every bit a Stormlander. He stands at 5'10 and weighs about 180 lb., he has the thick build of man who's been fighting most his life, and fighting in heavy armor at that. His hair is thick and has an almost matte black color to it, very smooth, and now longer than he regularly would keep it, reaching just below the top of his ears, he tries to keep it combed back. His face is largely shaven, save his sideburns. His face is free from most scars, other than a particularly nasty one underneath his chin that is hard to see due to its placement. It runs from almost the center of his chin to wear his throat meets his head(a VERY lucky scar... most hit like that would be dead after all). His dull blue eyes give him a somewhat softer look, this in addition to his lack of scars mean he has remained largely handsome, if now gruffer than he once was. His chest is broad, making the tall man more than a little impressive, and his left arm is ever so slightly longer than his right(long enough to be noticed upon inspection but not at a glance or passing look). He has a fighters build, his arms, chest and legs well toned but not particularly large or bulging. His legss are long, and unlike his arms are perfectly equally proportioned.
Personality
Ser Jon Wylde acts the way a knight of Westeros should in most aspects of his life, he upholds the kings laws, respects the lords and ladies above his station and generally believes himself a pious follower of the seven, but he is not all chivalry and valor. If nothing else you could call Jon Wylde Hard workig, though those who ee him in a more negative(or positive) light would call the man ambitious. Jon Wylde is no stranger to hardship, and understands if you want something you have to take it yourself, by force if necassary. Though some call him cruel or hard - hearted, Jon considers himself a student of hard knocks, and refuses to help anyone who he thinks can help themselves, and prefers to focus on his own goals and hardships, often focusing only on his and his own, leaving others where they lay. He has worked long to get where he is, and he dosen't let anyone forget it. He may come of as hostile or unapproachable in this regard, but those who know him understand that if he were not this way he may very well be one of the smallfolk.
Jon Wylde believes himself the equal to any knight in the realm, and believes with work he can be equal to the lords as well. He sees the major Noble houses for what he thinks they are, several savage beasts, held together by marrige, money and empty oathes. He has little respect for those who see them as truly "noble" or right, looking at them like he would an army to be fought. Though he is in his element at war the young Jon Wylde is no fool among lords, and understands they play a delicate game, one that he wishes to learn. If he is to get any farther in life, he knows he must learn the war of politics like the war on the field, and seeks tutelage in this regard from the house of his wife. Any who are not a knight or lord Jon Wylde considers largely beneath his notice, though he tries hard not to let them know that... though he largely fails as speaking with those beneath his station fills him with boredom and frustration. Jon's temper is unlike other men, he rarely flies into rages or curses at the sky or whoever it was that angered him, but rather maintains a calm veneer to hide his anger, letting it fester and losseing it when necassary. He attempts to be happy when those around him are, but he pprefers to maintain the serious air of important men, preferring work to relaxation and war to peace as he can easily become bored with most things. There are exceptions to this, he will never grow tired of those he considers closest of friends and his familiy, who is always willing to protect and provide for.
A serious man with much to gain and much to lose, Jon Wylde works on the field and in the court, intending to rise above the rest, and get what he so diligently works for.

Biography
Third son to Lord Casper Wylde, nothing much was ever expected of the young Lordling, house Wylde being a loyal if lesser house in service to House Baratheon. Early on Lord Casper decided Jon, like his brothers and Grand-uncle, needed to be a knight. So at the age of 8, he was squired to Ser Humfrey Wagstaff, Castellan for House Grandison. Jon served Ser Humfrey loyally, though the man never liked his squire, thought him to interested in the Games the lords played for power. He often told the boy, "No third son is ever going to get the chance to inherit much of anything boy! Be a good knight, and marry some lady and perhaps then you'll reach your greatest heights. You'll never be a part of the game's of lords." hoping to discourage the minor Lordling from ever forgetting his place. During the Greyjoy Rebellion, Ser Humfrey insisted on being placed far from the actual siege of Pyke, dealing with those Greyjoy forces still fighting outside of their stronghold. Though not as glamourous, and clearly chosen by Ser Humfrey to avoid any real danger, Jon distinguished himself and was Knighted for his bravery and skill. Returning to Rainhouse, only now did Jon learn of his brother Darnis Wylde's death at the siege of Pyke, and that he would inherit his brothers arms and armor to honour the formerly oldest son of house Wylde. Jon agreed, taking his brothers shield, armor and sword, and began his own career as a knight.
For several years after, Ser Jon Wylde was a hedge knight, going from keep to keep, lord to lord searching for work and attempting, rather clumsily, to stoke his own reputation, attempting, unsuccesfully, to gain the favor of a lord. He repeatedly attempted to make in-roads with the daughters, nieces and other children of lords and ladies but never made progress this way or any other, as the second son of a minor house with a talented Knight for a brother Jon had little chance of convincing a Lord to marry his daughter. And so it went for onwards of four years, the young knight unable to court the support he required to maintain a stable income, struggling to aford food and keep his weapons and armor in proper condition, knowing his father would not support him, as he expected his sons to take care of themselves. During this time, he heard of a tournament being held by house Tully to honour the marriage of one of their nephews, with a fine reward to the winning knight of the joust. So again Jon Wylde set off, praying to the Seven this would be the tournament he needed.
Jon arrived two days before the start of the tournament, and nearly left moments after he arrived. The vast majority of the Knights participating were landed knights of House Tully and the houses of their bannermen, and Jon was one of only a couple of hedge knights to attend leading the knights who served the Tully's to berrate the landless knights for even showing up, using the monicker of "robber knights" to describe them, ignoring Jon's Lordly origins, calling him the "second robber knight". However, as Jon began to become fed up with their constant taunting, he had what can only be described as a lucky break. Throughout his four years of attempting to court his way into the good grace of lords he had had a fletting run in with one Elyana Vypren while serving the Frey's earlier in his career. They had found one anothers company enjoyable, but Jon was released from Lord Frey's service shortly after their meeting so the relationship went no farther as Jon had to move on. Now, whilst walking the grounds of the tournament, he ran into Elyana again. They rekindled their old friendship, as it was still a day prior to the tourney, Elyana explaining her family had been invited to attend by lord Tully and Jon confessing his hope to win the prize and earn some prestige for himself. He confided in her his myriad of failures to court any sort of permanent position amongst the lords he had served, and his seeming in-ability to gain a reputation and lamented his current state of affairs. It surprised Jon then, when Elyana made him a proposal(if an offhand joke he took literally or not), suggesting that Jon speak with her father, Lucias Vypren, and ask for her hand in marriage. Jon took the suggestion to heart, and decided to remain and try to win the tournament befor asking Lord Lucias for his daughters hand, hopefully impressing the man with his skill and earning the money to support himself in one fell swoop.
As the tournament commenced Jon made his intentiions clear by carrying lady Elyana's favor, holding it throughout the tournament. Perhaps it was his burning ambition, or luck, or his honest skill but Ser Jon Wylde defeated all comers, the landed knights and landless falling to his lance. In the end, Jon Wylde won the tournament, and shortly after asked Lord Vypren for his daughters hand in marriage. Unbeknownst to Ser Jon Wylde, Elyana had used her own diplomatic charms to convince her father of Jon's honor and abilities as a knight, as well as his potential being the second son of House Wylde. Apparently this, and Jon's victory at the tourney were enough and a year later the two were married. Since that tournament around two years ago, Jon has served house Vypren loyaly, in spite of remaining a landless knight, even providing lord Vypren with a grandson Rickard Wylde. Now, as war comes to the Riverlands and a king rises in the north Jon prepares to stand with his wifes house, wherever their loyalties lie.
Equipment
-Set of heavy steel armor (Wylde regalia, previously his brother's, in the style of Baratheon bannermen armor)
"Ser Jon Wylde never looked back as he rode from Rainhouse, swearing not to return until he had earned his House renown, power or both"
-Horse -Longsword -Oak shield (Sigil of House Wylde, a golden Maelstrom, displayed) -Travelling clothes -Winter attire -Other assorted clothing
Other: On the council of Lord Vypren Jon serves as both a miltary advisor(in spite of his lack of skill at grand strategy) and as a political advisor, assisting in dealing with other houses and generally playing politics, seeing as Damon couldn't care less for such pursuits.
Is yet to recieve any official title, though is sometimes called Ser Jon the calm storm(in reference to his personality and house sigil, a blue maelstrom on a field of gold), or simply Jon the Calm, he mostly ignores the nickname
Serves on Ser Damon Vypren's force in policing Fairmarket.
Appearance: About 6'9, and extremely muscular outside of armor (yes I know its from one punch man, but it was closet I could find, especially with the armor)
Powers: Metahuman, control over electricity. Unlike similar heroes or villains, Lectro cannot create lightning, shock others or otherwise cause direct harm to others with his powers. Instead, he is able to stimulate his own muscles with electricity, increasing his strength drastically, or control electronic devices(at most he can cut poer to an entire city block). He uses his power to power up the suit he has named himself after as well.
Skills: A career criminal even before he got his powers, Lectro is an experienced brawler and street fighter, skilled at breaking and entering, intimidation, as well as general violence and causing mayhem
Equipment: Blackout really only has one piece of equipment, he armor. A suit provided to him whilst in the employ of Lexcorp, this large powered armor gives the already physically powerful man the ability to lift a car with one arm. Similarly, it allows him to "pump up" by syphoning electricity from nearby sources into his muscles as well as the armor, and he can grow to be up to eight or nine feet tall, increasing his strength enough to rival many more powerful heros. However, he can only push the armor so far before he overloads its circuitry, basically destroying it and turning into a heavy, cumbersome weight that he simpply can't move in. It also can be broken, though it is made out of steel with a titanium alloy top layer, making this somewhat difficult. It also in no way protects his head... he was always to vain to wear a helmet. It helps him in no other way than protecting him and increasing his strength.
Weaknesses: His armor also makess him cumbersome even when powered, forcing him to rely on his endurance to win fights. It also makes him a very large target, bulking him out and increasing his height even when not being "pumped up". His age is also starting to catch up with him, hindering his speed further.
Psychological profile: Blackout is a cruel, vindictive, greedy, vain and self centered individual who cares for only a few things, money, power and his own comfort. Being a lifetime criminal, Lectro has no sympathy for anyone who isn't him, enjoys violence on a casual scale and is generally an unpleasant individual. Largely professional when on the job, Blackout however does have his limit, and often runs when a situation turns to bad, making him somewhat of a coward. To him, no money in the world is worth his life, he's just too god damn pretty and strong to deprive the world of his presence.
Though not particularly smart, Blackout is not a dumb brute, and he is possesed of an amount of low cunning, often setting crude traps and making underhanded schemes, though these are rarely more than short term ways to deal with problems. He has very little ability to plan ahead, letting others do that for him and preferring to think on his feet. He knows his weaaknesses and strives to minimize them in any fight through any means necassary, though he can sometimes become overconfident and ignore impportant details. In the end, if he comes out on top in the short term, Blackout is happy.
Biography: Born in the lower income projects of Metropolis, Adam Crenshaw was always a big kid, and he knew it. From the time he was old enough to walk he was making sure people knew he was in charge. His father was a factory worker with a severe drinking problem, putting his mother in charge of keeping food on the table. From age 10 Adam was already almost five feet taall and over a hundred pounds, becoming a bully and controlling his own little gang throughout his school days. When he was about 16 Adam got into real crime, drug deals, armed robbery, mugging you name it and he would do it if it meant he got payed. He used alot of this money to help out his mom at home, as by now his father was an unemployed alcoholic, and he made sure his wife knew it. Even though many of his friends had dropped out of school by now, Adam refused to, he wanted the knowlegde he thought he would need to run a gang properly. On his gradution, Adam cam home beaming, to find his mother dead and his drunk father bleeding from a wound on his arm. Adam, who now at 18 was 6'5 and over 200 lb. flew into a rage and killed his father... after that he caught the place on fire and struck off on his own. For w good few years he was muscle for hire, working for any gang that could buy him, and any boss who needed something done that required his particular skills. He wwas in jail a couple of times, but for the most part these were DUI charges and other petty crime, meaning his record was relatively clean since he was good at what he did.
When Adam was around 25, after almost a decade of crime, he was approached by a man who said he was from Lexcorp, and that they needed muscle. At first Adam was just another thug for the corporation, doing whatever they needed him to. When he was about 29, the Black Zero Event hit metropolis, and Adam discovered a nifty new little trick he could pull off. After learning he could control electricity, Adam became more important as a sort of D - class metahuman in employ of Lexcorp. He got the attention of a few higher ups, and they provided him with a new toy, the Lexcorp XZC - model 12.3 powered armor, specifically designed to make Adam into a power house. Taking the name Blackout he was now a villain with power. Coming into contact with superheroes now, Blackout showed time and time again how he could trounce the minor heroes troubling Lexcorp with varying degrees of ease, he thought he was incincible... till he drew a foul card and faced off with the big S. Now in his late twenties, Blackout was supervising the movement of a large amount of dangerous material from Lexcorp assets in Metropolis to Gotham, when Superman made a surprise appearance. Blackout, fully convinced of his own invincibilty, challenged supermn to a one on one... and lost terribly. Superman reduced the big headed enforcer to a pile of broken armor in seconds, moving on to stop the rest of the operation after defeating the minor villain. Blackout was lucky enough to escape this encounter, though now more sobered than before.
After that Blackout drifted, eventually getting his armor repaired and working as a freelance operator for a myriad of criminal organizations, even joining up with the Club of Villains at one point and helping to try and put Batman down for good, but again failed along with the rest of the group. Now? He drew another foul card, and is now in a no choice situation in the suicide squd... what a load of shit.
