Character Name: Jon snow
Novel of Origin: A song of ice and fire series.
Appearance (Pictures Preferred): You have seen the goddamn game of thrones series right?
Side in the War: Neutral like a true nights watch
Brief Literary Bio (What your character did in their Novel):Jon is fourteen years old, he accompanies his father, Robb, Bran and Theon Greyjoy to an execution of a deserter from the Night's Watch. On their way back to Winterfell, they encounters the direwolf pups, five for the Stark children and another albino pup, an outcast from its litter, for Jon.
Jon's position both inside and outside the family subtly chafe him over the years until, when he nears adulthood, he joins the Night's Watch, after his uncle Benjen suggested that the Watch could use a man like him. On his journey to the Wall, Tyrion Lannister accompanies him, and their friendship is fostered by their shared position as noble outsiders.
At first Jon remained aloof and distant making no friends; he scorned his fellow recruits who returned the feeling, resenting him because of his noble background. He feels particularly alone as his uncle Benjen leaves to lead a ranging. After a fight between Jon and several recruits, a talk with Donal Noye helped him correct his attitude, and he soon became a natural leader, mentor, and friend to most of his fellow trainees, earning him the enmity of the master-at-arms, Ser Alliser Thorne. Jon also protects Samwell Tarly from bullying by some other recruits.
After being raised to the black, Jon was angered by his appointment to the stewards, as he expected to be posted to the rangers. Though in time and with the help of Samwell, he realize that his assignment as Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's personal steward was intended to groom him for command. During a wight attack on Castle Black, Jon saves Mormont's life and receives serious burns on his hand. Mormont gives him the Valyrian steel bastard sword, Longclaw, of House Mormont, and has a direwolf head engraved onto the pommel in honor of House Stark.
Although Jon has learned to fit in with the Watch, he has difficulty separating from his old life. At the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings, Jon became torn between his family and his vows to the Watch. Jon found himself imprisoned after striking at Ser Alliser, who provoked him by mocking his father and after learning of his father's arrest. After his father's execution, Jon tried to desert to join Robb's army, even though the common penalty for deserting the Night's Watch is death. His new friends bring him back, however, and save him from this fate.
The next day, Lord Commander Mormont, chastises him for running and after Jon finally decides to honor his bonds and fully commit to the Watch, he accepts his place as Mormont's squire and prepares for the journey north, on the large Ranging into the Far North that Mormont leads.[12]
A Clash of Kings
Jon is part of the The Great Ranging north to investigate the goings-on in the Haunted Forest beyond the Wall after disappearances of several rangers, including Benjen Stark. After reaching the Fist of the First Men, Jon happens upon an old warhorn and a cache of dragonglass, which he distributes among his sworn brothers. Afterwards he is picked to accompany one of the three scouting parties into the mountains, led by the famous Qhorin Halfhand.
In the Skirling Pass, they come across a groups of wildling sentries, and Jon is one of those assigned to take them out. He kills one, but discovers one of them is a women. Jon takes the girl Ygritte, prisoner instead and later when Qhorin ordered Jon to kill her, he secretly let her go [15]. The party is later discovered and pursued by wildlings led by Rattleshirt. Before they are overtaken, Qhorin commands Jon to join the wildlings and discover their plans, making Jon appear to be a traitor. Ygritte is part of Rattleshirt's band and believes that Jon has abandoned his former ways after he kills the Halfhand at Rattleshirt's command.
A Storm of Swords
Jon meets with Mance Rayder and convinces him that his desertion is sincere. During their conversation, Jon learns Mance's plans to invade the Seven Kingdoms. For a time, Jon breaks his vows of chastity and becomes Ygritte's lover. He hesitates between betraying her or leaving the Night's Watch. Jon joins Styr's mission to scale the Wall and take unaware the skeleton crew left manning Castle Black. After scaling the wall, he gets the opportunity to escape as the wildlings are attacked by Summer in the vicinity of the abandoned Queenscrown. He manages to escape in the confusion on a horse, but not before taking an arrow in the leg.
Jon survives his arrow wound and reaches Castle Black, where he learns that his brothers, Bran and Rickon, have died at the command of Theon Greyjoy. There he helps Donal Noye in the Defence of Castle Black against Styr's raiders. All of the raiders are killed, including Ygritte, who dies in a grief-stricken Jon's arms. After the fall of Donal, Jon receives command of the Wall's defences against Mance's direct assault. Using his natural leadership, Jon successfully holds the Wall against overwhelming odds for several days. However, upon the arrival of Alliser Thorne and Janos Slynt to Castle Black, Jon is arrested for his earlier defection and forced to make an assassination attempt on Mance during a parley. Before Jon can attack, Stannis Baratheon's forces make a surprise appearance and route the wildlings.
Jon's service defending the Wall earns him popular support and his release from imprisonment. Due to the efforts of Samwell Tarly, Jon is voted as a compromise candidate between rival factions of the Watch for the post of Lord Commander. Though Stannis offers to legitimize him, which would make him Lord Jon Stark of Winterfell, if Jon will recognize Stannis as king, Jon refuses and becomes the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. His earliest acts as Lord Commander serve to frustrate the plots of Stannis's priestess, Melisandre, by secretly sending Mance's child away from the Wall and impersonating him with another.
A Dance With Dragons
Slowly Jon grows into his position as a leader. Jon takes up residence within Donal Noye's quarters, following the blacksmith's death in the previous novel. Jon is continually harassed, predominantly by Stannis's men, who have taken up residence within Castle Black and the Nightfort, which Jon granted to Stannis as thanks for his aid against the wildling assault.
Jon rebukes all demands from Stannis to settle his men within the Gift, claiming that the land and all of the 16 unoccupied castles along the Wall as belonging to the Night's Watch. He sends Sam to the Citadel to train as Castle Black's next maester. With him, he sends Gilly, Maester Aemon, and the infant son of Mance Rayder, the last two for fear that Melisandre might want to use their royal blood for her magic. When Jon orders Janos Slynt to garrison one of the abandoned castles along the Wall, Janos refuses and Jon beheads him for insubordination, using Longclaw to carry out the sentence himself.
Jon continues to displease his fellow commanders of the Night's Watch by sending the wildling Val to treat with Tormund Giantsbane. This results in a fragile alliance between the Night's Watch and the wildlings. Jon settles the wildlings on the Gift and gives the warriors the opportunity to guard the Wall by garrisoning unoccupied castles against the Others. As the wildings are moved into the gift, Mance Rayder is given to the flames by Melisandre.[20] It is later revealed, however, that the burned man was in fact Rattleshirt under a glamour created by Melisandre. Mance is sent by Jon to rescue his sister Arya Stark from Ramsay Bolton, being unaware that it is actually Jeyne Poole.
With Stannis about to march on Deepwood Motte, Jon advises him to seek the help of the Northern mountain clans. Following Jon's advice, Stannis is able to secure the allegiance of the clans, greatly augmenting his own strength. Soon after Stannis has taken Deepwood, news arrive of Ramsay Bolton's impending marriage to "Arya Stark". Stannis immediately marches on Winterfell, the chosen site for the marriage, to face the forces of the Boltons.
Melisandre tells Jon she sees in her flames a girl on a dying horse making for Castle Black; Jon is convinced it must be Arya escaped from the Boltons, but the girl turns out to be Alys Karstark. Melisandre also tells him she sees him surrounded by daggers in the dark, but he pays no mind to this warning.
Weeks after Stannis has departed for Winterfell, Jon receives a letter purportedly from Ramsay Bolton entitled 'Bastard,' which claims that Stannis has been defeated and Mance Rayder captured. It demands fealty from Jon to House Bolton if the Night's Watch is to survive. Jon responds to this letter by relinquishing command of an impending ranging and announcing his intention to ride South against the Boltons. He does does not order the Night's Watch to fight with him, but asks both wildlings and black brothers alike to join him of their own volition. Jon's decision (which is in violation of his oaths) causes great discontent within the Watch's upper leadership; in the confusion resulting from Wun Wun's killing of Ser Patrek of King's Mountain, he is stabbed repeatedly by Bowen Marsh and other black brothers, who attack in tears while muttering "for the Watch". Whether or not Jon survives this attack is currently unknown. Is this ok cause I copy and pasted it.
