HIGHBORN, aerys targaryen

[attr="class","bioheader"]personality.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]Two sides of the same coin. To the world, Aerys presents quite the perfected persona. Comfortably social, easy going and relaxed, even charming— on the surface, there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary from a Targaryen prince. A need for power, an empathy, and a dream— these are hidden behind the facade the boy maintains. People only see as much of him as he allows, and the rest remain as unplumbed depths. Aerys wants to be able to stand on his own and make a change. There are some things he needs to protect, and since youth, he's known that the weak cannot be heard. There are no lengths he wouldn't go to to achieve his goals, pursuing his own path with a relentless determination and an unyielding stubbornness.

Aerys is calculating. His actions are all deliberate and have some meaning behind them. He spends much of his time learning to understand the world so that he might further his goals. Because of this, he understands that, in the known world, power comes from knowledge and position. That isn't to say the prince is entirely mechanical. He’s full of life and with a sense of humor that often came at the expense of others. Aerys approached most problems pragmatically, but his aggressive and domineering nature often played an equal part in his solution. His self-confidence supports and is supported by his devotion and tenacity, an overflowing source of willpower within him that pushes him far beyond the limits of his psyche and body.

All of this passion is hidden away behind a distant and playful front. The reality is he's an empathetic person, however little he'd like to admit it. Those he wants to protect, those he couldn't help, they can't quite leave his heart. As such, there's a seriousness in his eyes, accompanying his determination. The paths, the goals laid out before him, Aerys won't be deterred or distracted.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]"The day I was born, the known world shook and the seven
heavens cracked open. The stars realigned. Rivers changed their courses. A comet appeared. Choirs of angels proclaimed my greatness. All lemon cakes were free."

At least that is the story Aerys Targaryen likes to tell. Though the story of his birth grows increasingly embellished with every telling of it, it is one of note. The maester was away and two assistants were delivering the boy. One assistant had stumbled, knocking over a brazier and starting a fire while Aerys was being born. Tears and smoke filled the room and Daeron was said to murder both assistants not minutes after Aerys’s birth using a nearby morning star, tossing the bloodied weapon and picking up Aerys after. The boy Targaryan remembered none of that, though. What he did recall was seeing Firaxes while sitting on Aegon V’s lap when he was just a toddler. Even now the image of the large dragon was a vivid memory and one he would never forget. Aegon V never did get to take him on that ride like he promised, having passed away just after Aerys’s fourth name day.

Aerys’s upbringing was what one could expect from living as a prince. While there were many princes and princesses running amok with the Targaryan surname, it was Aerys that was often referred to as the prince of princes. Though the legitimacy of Daeron’s claim to the iron throne was in question now, for all of his life Aerys and the rest of the world believed that he would one day be king. He was groomed to lead the seven kingdoms early in his life. Receiving the finest education, training, and counsel that a noble of his stature could get. It was difficult to be humble when given such treatment his entire life. Even the heads of other great houses showered him with favors in hopes that their daughters could one day be queen. After his 17th nameday, his father sent him away for nearly two years with a number of knights to visit the seven Kingdoms so that he could learn more of the world he would one day rule. He came to understand his role in the world quickly and felt the heavy burden of the crown as far as two generations away as it occupied his every thought. Aerys found a normal experience only when he snuck out of the Red Keep to mingle with the commoners under a fake name and disguise. With how other pureblooded Targaryen’s spoke of him he thought maybe he would find a connection with the people of King’s Landing. And he did. Whether they were smugglers, farmers, or smiths, Aerys got along with them. Whenever a member of his grandfather's kingsguard followed him on his adventures out, that life quickly came to an end as his secret was spilled among commonfolk and nobles alike.

Aerys’s life changed one night after his 19th nameday. A dream so real he knew it was a vision. It came in flashes and through the A three headed dragon, the Targaryen sigil, stood over the ashes of the Red Keep. Each head sinking their teeth into one another's neck, spilling blood and flesh. As each of the head’s were on the verge of decapitation, Aerys’s vision came to a sudden end. It was that vision that drove Aerys's every action since. After weeks of stress filled days, Aerys Targaryen disappeared. Some say he ran away. Rumors suggest he took his own life due to the pressure he felt being groomed to be King since birth. There are even those who would suggest Rhaegar conspired to take his nephew’s life to strengthen his claim to the throne in anticipation of the King passing. In reality, Aerys had smuggled himself to Essos, in search of answers where he has remained for the last five years.

[attr="class","bioheader"]inventory.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]Valyrian Steel Armor (⅓) - Aerys’s time in old valyria led to the discovery of a set of armor, a scale breastplate specifically, forged out of valyrian steel. Dark and smoky, the set of armor’s faint purple hue could only be seen when the sunlight hit it directly. Aerys wore it like thin silk, the armor hugging his frame comfortably. His travels through Essos led him to joining a small expedition party to old Valyria. It was there they discovered a set in the ruins of a city, it’s condition after so long a testament to it’s valyrian steel. The party was bankrolled by wealthy man with powerful ties to the criminal underworld throughout Essos and Aerys knew he wasn’t going to be able to keep what he as a Targaeryen felt entitled to. So he stole it. Between his livid companions and the stone men that littered the ruins, Aerys was only able to get away with ⅓ of a full set, but it wasn’t without painting a permanent target on the prince’s back.

Besides what he finds on his adventures, Aerys typically carries a 150cm longsword,a set of lockpicks, a flask of whiskey, a curved dagger, and two pocketfuls of sand.
