In Character Information
character name: robb stark
Fandom: game of thrones television series.
Timeline: post season one.
character's age: 18.
powers, skills, pets and equipment:
As Robb was marching with his bannermen, he will arrive in full armor, sword and shield. Robb is an exemplerary swordsman, having been trained since he was a young boy in swordsmanship.
There’s also his direwolf, Grey Wind, who accompanies Robb everywhere he goes in canon. Grey Wind is entirely obedient to Robb in canon, and fiercely protective of him as well. Direwolves are larger and more intelligent than regular wolves, and the Stark children are rarely seen without them.
Lastly, like Jon Snow, I would like to give Robb the power to possess his direwolf. In canon, it is never specified whether or not Robb ever achieved this ability, but it stands to reason if his siblings could do it, then Robb should have the potential to as well and the mist would jumpstart this ability the same way it did for Jon.

one.two. personality:
The fundamental thing to know about Robb is that he is his father’s son through and through. He is Ned Stark’s firstborn and was raised to exemplify the values Ned held dear. From a very young age, it was drilled into Robb that he would be the heir of Winterfell, that he would become the Warden of the North and all the responsibilities and duties that went with those two things would fall to him.
Robb’s honor is the be all, end all. There is nothing more important to Robb than living as an honorable man. He has a very black and white view on the world. Actions are either honorable or not, and there is literally no middle ground to be taken. And he’s so stubborn into the bargain that there’s literally no swaying him once he’s made up his mind. He’ll stick to his decision, and take the necessary action, and no one’s council will stay his hand.
Unlike his father, however, Robb possesses a certain sense of humor. He’s noted for his charm and charisma, for how his men love him because of it. It’s one of the main ways he differs from his father, for people observed how Eddard Stark appeared to be frozen through, while Robb is all laughter and warmth. In the right company, Robb is extremely warm, prone to jokes and hugging those close to him.
He expresses himself without hesitation, never holding back his opinions. If the situation requires it, Robb will present his thoughts politely and calmly, but never falsely. What he’s feeling, he says, and nothing sways him from that. He’s honest to a fault, and most of the time lying never occurs to him, and in the event it does, he always defers to simply stating the truth, because lying would be a stain upon his name and his honor.
The most important thing to remember about Robb is how young he is. He’s just barely older than a boy, and he has literally no experience in leading troops. Underneath all his actions, Robb is afraid. The weight he is carrying is momentous, and it weighs very heavily upon him. He looks to his mother and his bannermen for advice, but is unable to lean heavily on them and still retain his power. He is caught treading a very fine line, and he is very aware of it.
why do you feel this character would be appropriate to the setting?
Game of Thrones takes place in a very gritty, harsh environment. Robb has dealt with many different kinds of battles in his life, and there really isn’t much he could encounter in-game that he wouldn’t be able to deal with mentally and physically.
