Anyway, I'll be either making an app for Aegon or Jon Snow. I haven't decided yet.

Dany does not have any outside help. Two dragons are locked up under the pyramid, Drogon is off doing his own thing. She has no Dothraki and no Ironborn (no Westeros help) she has only the Unsullied and the Second Sons.
This does not take place after season 6, it takes place around book 4 and 5 wise. Or seasons 4 and 5 though I'd rather refer to book canon than show canon (like no Sansa in Winterfell unless the Baelish player really wants to do that)

Darksister was last wielded by Bloodraven so it's probably either north of the wall or near the Wall. While the last wielded of Blackfyre was Maelys. I'm willing to bet that since the Westeros force didn't recover it the Golden Company did. They are probably waiting to give to Aegon to help further his rule (cause some see the sword on the same level as the Crown like what happened with Daemon)
NowWhether you believe Aegon is a true Targaryen, a Blackfyre or neither it would make sense that either the Golden Company recovered it or Illyrio saw to it.

As young children, Jaime and his sister Cersei looked so much alike, that not even their father was able to keep them apart.[7] Jaime grew into a tall, handsome man, with curled hair the color of beaten gold.[1][8][9] He has flashing cat-green[10] eyes, and a smile that cuts like a knife.[4][11] Jon Snow thinks to himself that Jaime is "what a king should look like",[4] and Bran Stark feels that Jaime looks like "more like the knights in the stories".[12]
As a Kingsguard knight, Jaime wears a white armor and a white cloak.[13] On occasion he wears golden armor decorated with the Lannister lion, with gilded longsword and ornate lion's helmet.[14][15][16] He slew the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen while wearing his white cloak over his golden armor.[17] Jaime alternatively wears a crimson silk tunic embroidered with a golden lion, along with black boots and a black cloak.[4] He also wears crimson cloaks[18] and a leather jack.[19] Jaime wields a lance of golden wood.[15]
Jaime is a born warrior, with little interest in politics and court intrigue. He takes few things seriously.[11] By his own admission, Jaime only feels truly alive when fighting or making love.[7] He comes across as arrogant, amoral, and dishonorable.[20][21][5][19] Because of the death of King Aerys, Jaime has earned such a bad reputation that everything he says is usually cast in the worst possible light.[22] Jaime is rash, headstrong, and angers quickly.[23][24] He is known to have little patience,[18] and worries about the consequences of his actions only after committing the act.[25] A great warrior,[26] Jaime inspires loyalty in his men.[27][28] He is bold,[29] and does not fear death.[30]

Approx Number of military at command: 45'000.

History of the House: House Lannister is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. Their lands are in the far west of the continent. Their seat is Casterly Rock, a castle on a rocky promontory overlooking the Sunset Sea. It overlooks the thriving city of Lannisport and sits atop the most productive gold mine in the Westerlands.[1] They are the wealthiest family in the realm.[2] They once possessed a Valyrian steel sword called Brightroar, which was lost by King Tommen II Lannister.
Fair-haired, tall and handsome, the modern Lannisters are the blood of Andal adventurers who carved out a mighty kingdom in the western hills and valleys. Through the female line, they boast of descent from Lann the Clever, the legendary trickster of the Age of Heroes who swindled Casterly Rock from its previous rulers. They used to rule the Westerlands as the Kings of the Rock before swearing allegiance to the Targaryen family. The last King of the Rock, Loren Lannister, and the last King of the Reach, Mern Gardener, joined forces and fielded 60,000 men against Aegon the Conqueror. They were defeated by his dragons in a battle that came to be known as the 'Field of Fire' and lost 4,000 men. They have since served the Targaryens and now King Robert Baratheon as the Lords Paramount of the Westerlands and Wardens of the West. The gold of Casterly Rock and the Golden Tooth has made them the wealthiest of the Great Houses.[3][2]

Maric is the bastard and eldest son of Ser Byron 'Greatswan' who is a distant cousin to Lord Guilan. Maric resembles with the Greatswan alot and for that reason is highly regarded by the smallfolk of Stonehelm. Despite a bastard, both him and his trueborn brother Clifford received a fair education on Lord Guilan's household, although many consider this a mistake due both brothers had some claim on the lordship; the lord himself dismissed the threat due they were distant landless kin.
Lord Guilan used his connections in order to repay Ser Byron for his services. He sent Clifford to the Citedal after his rather early knighthood to be trained as maester(needless to say, he failed utterly) while his brother had the honor to squire for Ser Garlan the Gallant of House Tyrell and getting acquainted with one of the most powerful families of the Seven Kingdoms notheless, making Highgarden his home for 8 years.
After he was knighted before the Seven by Ser Garlan, he made the traditional trip to Essos for a man of his status. Maric followed his brother and together the joined the Golden Company, through the company they learned about other cultures, ethics, Essos itself and of course the Lord of Light to whom they converted in Pentos before their final departure from the grand eastern continent.
It has been almost a year since their return and now the realm is turned asunder by civil war thanks to the rival claims to the Iron Throne. He and his brother with a loyal contingent of a 1,000 men and 30 ships(out of 40) have left from Red Watch to swear their fealty to Stannis Baratheon.

Lord Guilan, disgusted from the previous war is not interested fighting another great war that would cost his people dearly so he pleaded illness and declaring for none's side in the War of the Five Kings but alas his son and great nephews have taken 1,000 men each to fight for each of the Baratheon brothers name.

~20 of Daenerys Targaryen's Dothraki warriorsDaenerys is the only daughter and youngest child of King Aerys II Targaryen, the "Mad King", and his sister-wife, Rhaella. Her father died during the Sack of King's Landing, before she was even born. The usurper Robert Baratheon installed himself as king, having defeated Aerys in the conquest known as Robert's Rebellion. Her pregnant mother and brother Viserys, fled to the island of Dragonstone, the ancestral home of House Targaryen, to escape Robert. Daenerys's brother Rhaegar Targaryen was also killed in the war and the forces of House Lannister murdered his wife, Elia Martell, and children, Daenerys's niece and nephew, during the Sack of King's Landing.
But unbeknownst to her, Rhaella, and Viserys, her oldest brother Rhaegar had another son by Lyanna Stark, Jon Snow, who was raised by Lyanna's brother Eddard Stark in Winterfell, joined the Night's Watch and later became the King in the North.
On the night Daenerys was born on Dragonstone, a vast storm raged. For this reason, she is sometimes called "Daenerys Stormborn". Her mother died soon after she was born, leaving her an orphan. As a baby, she was taken into exile in the Free Cities with her brother, Viserys, by loyal retainers, among them Ser Willem Darry.
After years spent fruitlessly trying to raise support to retake the Iron Throne, Viserys and Daenerys were given sanctuary by Magister Illyrio Mopatis in the Free City of Pentos. She dreams of finding a peaceful home and a place to belong. She lives in constant fear of Viserys, who hits her when his temper is risen (in his words, whenever she "wakes the dragon"). Living under Viserys' domination has left her meek and malleable.
Viserys and Daenerys stay at the estate of Magister Illyrio Mopatis who has brokered a deal for her to marry Khal Drogo of the Dothraki. Daenerys does not want to marry him, but Viserys has traded her to Drogo in exchange for an army of 40,000 men of Drogo's khalasar, which Viserys plans to use in his invasion of Westeros. Viserys tells her that she has no choice. Viserys fondles her under the pretext that he is seeing how she has grown; she looks off into the distance.
Daenerys tries to convince Drogo to invade so their son might claim the Iron Throne, but the Dothraki do not trust ships and water their horses cannot drink. Now that Viserys is dead, Drogo does not feel inclined to honor the bargain. A wineseller attempts to poison Daenerys to fulfill Robert's orders. She is rescued by Ser Jorah and Rakharo. Following the assassination attempt, Drogo reverses his decision and swears that he will lead his forces across the Narrow Sea and seize the Seven Kingdoms in blood and fire.
After Drogos's dead, Daenerys leads the remnants of her khalasar across the Red Waste, hoping to find shelter in the far lands of the east. She tries to feed her newborn dragons, but they refuse the raw meat she offers. She regards the dragons as her sons. The mare Drogo gave her as a wedding gift dies of exhaustion and Daenerys decides to send her three bloodriders, Rakharo, Aggo and Kovarro, with their remaining horses to explore in three separate directions, knowing that they are her last hope.
Daenerys unsuccessfully appeals to the merchant nobles of Qarth to lend her ships. The warlocks uses their magic to murder the rest of the Thirteen. He repeats his invitation to Daenerys, telling her that her children are at the House of the Undying. Daenerys flees and Jorah attempts to kill Pree but is only able to dissipate one of his many duplicates.
Daenerys returns to Xaro's home to confront him for his treachery and finds him in bed with Doreah. Hurt from the betrayal, Daenerys takes them to his vault, which proves to be empty, and locks them inside to die. She salvages enough valuables to buy a ship from amongst his possessions.[25]
Following their journey from Qarth, Daenerys's ship arrives at the city of Astapor in Slaver's Bay. By then, Daenerys's dragons had grown to the size of small dogs. While these dragons were now capable of hunting fish for themselves, they are still not large enough to be used as weapons of war to invade Westeros. Thus, Daenerys needs an army. While the Unsullied, the elite warrior-eunuchs produced in Astapor, are regarded as some of the finest soldiers in the world, Daenerys knows that their being slave-soldiers would become problematic in Westeros, where slavery is outlawed. However, Jorah convinces Daenerys that she has no choice but to settle for this solution since she has no other means of acquiring an army. While Daenerys considers expanding her tiny Dothraki khalasar, most of whom have become seasick since the Dothraki have never traveled on ships before, Jorah explains that the Dothraki would only join her if she were strong.
Upon arriving in Astapor, Daenerys is given a tour of the Unsullied barracks by the Unsullied's owner, Kraznys mo Nakloz, with his slave girl Missandei translating his Low Valyrian into the Common Tongue of Westeros for Daenerys. Since Kraznys does not know that Daenerys understands Valyrian, he frequently insults her.
With the Unsullied under her command, Daenerys sacks Astapor with little resistance. Once it is done, she addresses all of her Unsullied warriors and tells them they are now free. She also gives them the option of leaving unharmed or fighting under her command as free men. At first, the Unsullied remain quiet, not knowing what to do with their newfound freedom. however, one Unsullied soldier begins to beat his spear against the ground, signifying his allegiance to her. The rest of the Unsullied follow suit shortly thereafter. Now in command of an army of free men, Daenerys marches forward with her new army while her dragons fly overhead and roar triumphantly.
During their journey to Yunkai, the next great city of Slaver's Bay, Daenerys ordered the Unsullied to elect a commander from their own ranks. The officers ultimately choose Grey Worm, who like all Unsullied, was given the name of a type of vermin. When Daenerys instructed the Unsullied to go back to their own names or pick new ones they like, Grey Worm elected to keep his, as it was the name he had when Daenerys Stormborn set him free.[29] While Daenerys and Barristan were confident that they could conquer Yunkai since that city only bred sex slaves, Jorah expressed his concerns that the city's defenders would not fight them on the battlefield but would rather strengthen their position behind the walls and utilize guerilla tactics against her army. He also viewed the Yunkai campaign as a distraction from their main goal of taking Westeros. Dany was, however, adamant on freeing the slaves of Yunkai, who number in the hundreds of thousands.
Daenerys and her army eventually arrive at the gates of Meereen as she begins her siege. She is faced with a champions duel where a riding knight of Meereen challenges her to choose a champion that will fight for her. Daario Naharis, commander of the Second Sons and the most expendable member of Dany's entourage, volunteers to be her champion. Once Naharis quickly dispatches the Meereen champion, Dany begins her siege of the city by speaking to the gathered slaves and then catapulting the broken chains of those she has freed across the city walls, demonstrating her previous successes. As the slaves examine the broken chains, the Great Masters look on, perhaps in fear.
Attended by Tyrion Lannister, Missandei, Hizdahr zo Loraq and Daario Naharis, Daenerys sits in the royal box at the Daznak's Pit as Jorah Mormont gives the traditional dedication to her and manages to be the last fighter standing. At this moment, Jorah suddenly hurls a spear at the royal box – embedding itself in a Son of the Harpy sneaking behind Daario. Suddenly, Sons of the Harpy reveal themselves on every level of the arena and begin slaughtering collaborating Masters and freedmen alike – Hizdahr included. Jorah and Daario evacuate Daenerys from the royal box, while Tyrion rescues Missandei. Finding the exits blocked, the group makes a stand in the center of the Pit with remainder of the Unsullied defenders. Seeing they are hopelessly outnumbered, Daenerys takes Missandei's hand and closes her eyes, ready to face her death.
At that moment, a draconic screech pierces the air, and Drogon descends upon the arena, flying out of a giant flame burst. Many of the Sons scatter in terror as Drogon bites and mercilessly burns the nearest ones to death. The Sons rally enough to attack Drogon with spears, which Daenerys hastily makes an effort to remove. Trying to get Drogon out of the Sons' range, Dany climbs atop his back and bids him to fly ("Valad"), becoming the first Targaryen dragonrider in over a century. The Sons of the Harpy temporarily routed, Daario, Jorah, Missandei and Tyrion look on in astonishment as Drogon, with Daenerys on his back, soars away.
Later, Daenerys finds herself far away from Meereen, atop an impressive hill in a sea of green grass. Drogon is still recovering from his wounds and is uninterested in flying back. Unfortunately, he's also not interested in finding them any food. Daenerys wanders away to find something for them, but is shocked to see a trio of Dothraki bloodriders emerge. Within minutes, an entire khalasar has her surrounded. Understanding what might happen to her, she quickly removes a ring and drops it in the grass, determined to leave a trail.

Approx Number of military at command: Above
History of the House:Once a noble family of the vast Valyrian Freehold, an empire spanning most of the eastern continent, the Targaryens were given control of the island of Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea some centuries ago. After the obliteration of Valyria in the Doom, the Targaryens launched a devastating invasion of Westeros using three dragons to spearhead their attack. In a short period of time, six of the seven formerly independent kingdoms had surrendered to the Targaryen leader, King Aegon I, unifying the continent under his rule. The last hold-out, Dorne, joined the kingdom through a political and marriage alliance some two centuries later.
During the increasingly erratic reign of King Aerys II, his son Rhaegar was said to have kidnapped Lyanna Stark of Winterfell for unknown reasons. When Lyanna's brother Brandon protested, Aerys responded by having both him and his father Rickard Stark arrested and executed. This sparked a massive uprising led by Eddard Stark, Robert Baratheon and Jon Arryn. At the end of this war Aerys and Rhaegar were dead and the Targaryen power-base in Westeros destroyed. Aerys's youngest children, Viserys and Daenerys, were taken by Targaryen loyalists into exile in the Free Cities of the East.
Generations of compound inbreeding have preserved in the Targaryen bloodline the classic Valyrian features of silver-white (platinum blonde) hair, and very fair, pale skin. Allegedly, this also preserved in their bloodline the ability to successfully bond with and ride dragons. They also seem to be somewhat more tolerant of extreme heat and high temperatures than other people, though they are by no means invulnerable to fire – or at least, not all of them.

Allegiance paid to: No one yet
Appearance (Picture appreciated):(Image)
Personality: Artheon has, despite his young age, seen more battle and treachery in the nine year he has been selling his sword than more do in a life-time and those experiences has profoundly marked him, leaving him both deeply religious and fiercely hedonist.
While ruthless with those he consider as traitors, incapables or simply disposable; he also tries to remain as just as possible and to lead by action, earning him a quite positive reputation among his men.
Cunning and ambitious; he is ready to act mercilessly to advance his own interests or the ones of his "blood-brothers".
As the son of a noble; he kept the, somewhat peculiar among people of his profession, habit of reading, carrying a sort of "mobile library" along the diverse others papers documents, bills and contracts of the company.
Skills: Competent diplomat and administrator, brilliant commander and warrior.
Weaponry (If any): A Volantian Pure-blood (geld), a black armor (ignore the golden one of the picture) an helm and a red cape, a kontos (4 meter long lance), a cavalry crossbow, a shield and a longsword.
Military Strength : One mercenary company of 9000 men composed of 3600 horsemen (with 2280 light cavalrymen/mounted crossbowmen and 1320 heavy cavalry men/cataphractes) and 5400 footmen (with 2700 hallebardiers/pikemen, 900 heavy infantrymen and 1800 crossbowmen and archers).
Biography (At least a well written Paragraph please): Artheon's uncle, Colbat Bywater, was, like most of the seconds sons of Westeros who felt in disgrace, sent by his family to the Free Cities to punish him for impregnating a betrothed noble maiden. His sister, Alyssa, who was only ten at the time and already stubborn as a mule managed to sneak and join him; after much deliberation, she managed to makes him accept her presence and followed him around. Colbat traveled around the Free Cities, his noble-birth and the credentials his father had gave him helping him to serve as a guard among the household of rich merchants rather than a mere sellsword. This continued for five year before he eventually reached Volantis and offered his service to Balaegor Valarys, the heir of a local noble family and a relatively prosperous merchant. His little sister had, during the journey, grown from a tomboyish kid to a beautiful young girl whose charms didn't let Balaegor indifferent. Incredible thing in this xenophobic place that is the city of Volantis, he asked his brother to take her as his third wife rather than as a mere concubine. After some discussion with her on the subject, Colbat eventually accepted and settled here for a decade as the Captain of his Palace guard while Alyssa enjoyed an happy marriage, giving birth three time, first to two girls : Saenna and Daela and then to a boy : Artheon.
He enjoyed a good education, tho not the best as he was no heir to the family but only the fourth in line, centered around inculcating him the understanding of administration and giving him some martial bases, he also developed a profound love of the books around that time and started to learn multiples languages, his mother's tongue of course but also the dated High Valyrian that not even the Volantians of inside the walls spoke and the differents idiomes of the Free Cities. When he was ten, Robert's Rebellion happened with his grand-father declaring himself a loyalist. Despite Alyssa's supplication to remain in the city with her, Colbat gathered some sellswords and sailed back to Westeros to fight with his house. He, along his elder brother and father, met his end in this war and, after the utter defeat of the Targaryen, his mother, who along Alyssa were the last remaining member of the main branch of the Bywater, was forcefully remarried to a Baratheon's supporter and her titles stolen this way.
As Artheon eventually reached adulthood, one of his elder step-brother, Ragaelor, was poisoned for officialy unknown reasons even tho it apparead obvious that it was the work of another one of them who wanted to secure his own place in the succession line for their father's legacy. Quite frightened by this event, Artheon accepted the offer of two of his good friends, Horonno Dohru and Vogaro Volnyros, who wanted to create a mercenary company to earn themselves some fame and gold as their status of seconds and thirds sons let them no place in the family's business as long as they hadn't proved their worth. To achieve this goal, he loaned a rather important sum of money from his father who was all too happy to grant him as it meant moving away someone who could have either been the target or perpetrator of a fratricide plot.
With this money, Artheon hired ninety-nine others seconds and thirds sons from others poorer nobles families and helped them equip themselves, then, he and his comrades decided to name themselves the "Sons of Valyria" and went away to sell their swords to the highest bidder.
The company rapidly started to earn fame thanks to the discipline and efficiency of it's fighters. Soon,to these three founding Captains who each commanded one hundred men, others were added again and again as the company grew bigger and bigger. To avoid loosing the coordination that made it's reputation and ensured it's longevity, they first added Magisters chosen by three captains among themselves that would have power over them and then, after three or four years of it's existence, started to hold yearly elections with every Captain voting to chose three "Triarchs" who would command three Magisters each.
Both Vogaro and Artheon managed to easily keep their place and it was only a bolt he took in the head that stopped Horonno from doing the same, letting the third place of Triarch to turn in the hands of different Captains each year.
Another five years passed and experience and fame came with them, leaving the "Sons of Valyria" a respected but desperately unemployed company as no war had broke out in the entire Essos for three whole months. Some sellswords were already preparing to disband when a good news reached the Triarchs' ears, the Westerosi King had beheaded one of his Suzerain Lords and war had erupted, at least.
Leaving the Continent behind them, the company headed toward to the Seven Kingdoms in hope of plunder and rape but, something else was also on Artheon's mind as he sailed away toward his mother's land; a strong desire to take back what he had been unjustly deprived of.
