Character Information
Name: Jon Snow (aka Aegon Targaryen)
Canon: Game of Thrones the TV show
Canon Point: Episode 7x05, Eastwatch, plus CRAU from the Sphere
Age: 23
(canon) background: Wiki
(CRAU) background: Shortly after his arrival in the Sphere, Sansa sat him down and explained the story of his parents, which was then something he had to start figuring out how to accept. He was able to consider more about what it meant when Ned arrived and the two of them were able to discuss it. When Robb arrived and Jon had to explain it to him, it was an opportunity for Jon to assure Robb (and himself) that he was still the same person Robb had always known.
Events in the Sphere such as the appearance of ghosts from the past, or the sharing of memories, forced him to continue to reckon with his past, and sometimes his newly-discovered identity. Although he hasn't fully come to terms with it yet, he has started to acknowledge his heritage more.
He relaxed a bit more in the Sphere, too, after starting to make some friends, and after he realized that his life's not in danger just by virtue of who he is. After he met Inesa, Sansa's best friend, he discovered that he could have some happiness in his life, especially some without complications, when they started living together.
abilities: Since he was raised in one of the great Houses of Westeros, and joined the Night's Watch, he is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, especially with a sword, and a skilled horseback rider. He is also a good head at military/battlefield strategy.
Personality: Since he was raised by Ned Stark, away from all the machinations of court in King's Landing, he inherited Ned's strong moral compass. He'll do what's necessary because it's necessary, but that doesn't mean he enjoys it. He puts the good of the whole above what's best for him, as evidenced when he risks his life on a dangerous plan in the hope of being able to stop an army that threatened everyone in Westeros. He does what he feels is right, and he's never cruel just because he can be.
Another trait Jon got from Ned is his incredible loyalty. Once he has sworn his loyalty to someone, that loyalty is absolute, unless that loyalty conflicts with something to which he has a greater loyalty. He swore fealty to Daenerys, but when he realized that she was a threat to all of the lands beyond Westeros, his loyalty to all of the people who would be affected by continued wars caused him to break his loyalty to Daenerys and deal with the threat. This is also why he fights to protect those who need it, such as those who can't fight for themselves. This extends to those considered outcasts by their society, which he himself has been his whole life due to being (supposedly) an illegitimate child. This loyalty has also led to Jon developing leadership skills. Due to his loyalty to his friends, others will follow him, even when that's not what he set out to get them to do. He became the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch at a young age after a relatively brief time of service, elected to the position after helping to defend Castle Black against an attack. Northmen named him King in the North after he helped regain control of the region. In neither case did he put himself forward for this; it was others who wanted to see him in a leadership role. These are roles he takes on reluctantly but once he has them, he does them in the way he thinks will benefit the most people.
Like anyone else, he does have his faults, too. Due to his demonstrated stubbornness, he sometimes has a hard time following advice. There are ways that he thinks things should be done, or ways he wants to do them, and he doesn't tend to take the advice of someone who suggests it should be done differently. Sometimes he turns out to be right, and sometimes he doesn't. He's also honest to a fault. He's bad at lying, and can't do it even when obscuring the truth would be better, such as when attempting to gain allies. Because of his unflinching honesty, he can't usually see treachery in someone else until it's too late. At least until it kills him, at which point he does become more wary, but no less honest.
Inventory: Clothing made by Inesa and Sansa, with a three-headed wolf embroidered by Sansa; a fur-lined cloak; a knife worn in his belt for protection; his sword, Longclaw; I would also like for him to have his direwolf Ghost, if at all possible.
Which of the following would they most like to have in abundance: limitless good luck, the freedom to act without restraint, the ability to teach and to learn, or for everyone to just relax?
