HIGHBORN, jeren stark

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

[attr="class,"bioentry"]Some say the window to the soul are the eyes, however, Jeren’s passageway exists in his smile. Even before his nigh-perfect teeth usher in light, the confidence to execute such an action exists well before. A man of unrivaled assurance in himself, the stark is devoid of many palpable insecurities. From his earliest namedays, the eldest son of Cassius was made aware of his faults and his strengths and was expected to allow both to live through him in harmony. Adventurous, the man sees himself as not only the heir to Winterfell, but a resident of the world and searches for the answers that dagger his overwhelming curiosity; willing to travel throughout Westeros and beyond to find them. [break][break]

A gifted leader and passionate soul, the stark’s loyalty lies with his people, even to a fault. Raised to cherish those who braved the north, the preservation of his people resides above all else and the guiding body for his actions are in assumption of their need and concern. His earliest memories were ruled by compromising positions as his father, who tailored himself to combat, allowed Jeren to make decisions on his behalf, for better and for worst. As he grew, the mistakes minimized and the successes more plentiful as he now acts as the chef advising body to the lord of Winterfell. What once was a chore became a lifestyle, crafting the young man into a capable strategist and scholar.[break][break]

Fascinated by the tales of the world, Jeren from youth had a natural affinity for literature and art, never taking to battle. His inclination to charm, truth and human pleasantries often miscommunicate his intelligence and grit to others who have met him. Still, trained harshly in the disciplines of war, the firstborn of Lord Stark is a skilled warrior, though finds no pleasure in taking the lives of others. Seeing bloodshed as merely an inconvenient necessity, Jeren compartmentalizes the brutality and transfer it into something purposeful.

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

[attr="class,"bioentry"]A cold unequaled guided the young stark into existence. Thick blankets of white cascaded from the skies and winds more furious than the dragons of old speared throughout as the cries of the newborn echoed stridently. Lord Stark and his wife had finally given birth to their eldest of three and on this night, the child who shared the same nameday as his grandfather, would also share his name: Jeren.[break][break]

The young cub showed wide curious and hints of potential for a very young age. His mind wandered and tales of victory, conquest, adventure and mystery excited him far more than any blade. Winterfell strengthened his body and mind as the cold steeled his skin and the various scrolls and tales fortified his mind. Pubically, he’d denounce violence and bloodshed, offering the opinion that words were sharper than any axe, and he followed that dogma. His days were spent reading the stories of better men, and when he wasn’t sleeping, his eyes eagerly absorbed more. Winterfell’s Maester supported the future lord’s inquisitiveness and complimented his pursuit of knowledge. For the majority of Jeren’s childhood, the two were inseparable. It wasn’t until the boy’s tenth nameday that Cassius intervened, feeling the mind wouldn’t succeed if the body wasn’t on par. The young wolf was being trained to learn, not to rule. His current route would develop a follower of knowledge, not a leader of man. Still, Jeren challenged the belief. A man could not lead until he knew how to follow and wisdom penetrated armies where swords merely couldn’t reach.

As such, his training was intensified, and the boy rebelled. The harder his father pushed, the more Jeren resisted. This constant tugging and pulling would persist for several years until reality settled.
[break][break]

Now a young man of fourteen, Jeren was thrusted into his first real battle. A small society, some miles outside Winterfell withdrew their loyalty from the Starks and attempted a coupe. Retaliation pulled Cassius into the fray and Jeren was forced to join. The resistance was short-lived and on the eve of such tragedy, the heir drew first blood. The sight stained his conscious and his resolve diminished. Cassius, the overbearing, but protective father consoled his child and reminded him of their duty to the North, and reminded him that a king was only as powerful as his people. Their conversation, more intense in time, only worked to return Jeren to a state of calm and gave him new purpose: to build a united front where such disloyalty wouldn’t exist.
[break][break]

From that day until his last day, Jeren vowed to do better. To be better. Growing into a capable warrior under the direct tutelage of his father, the stark successor found himself more involved in the political landscape of Winterfell. Where his father favored warfare, he prospered in strategy and reason. Soon, he had become among the most trusted advisors to the Lord and assisted heavily in the daily operations of his people. When Cassius hosted guests or ventured elsewhere, Jeren prioritized following along, learning as much as he could of the world beyond his own walls.

During this time, their loyal direwolf, Scarlett had passed. While losing a member of their family, the Starks were gifted with her litter to compensate. Nearly raised by their mother, Jeren was granted ownership of one of her youngest cubs, to which he would emulate the care and love its mother gave to him.
[break][break]

Currently, Jeren still serves his people and his family foremost. Wielding his mind and weapon on equal standing, the young wolf with his cub would work towards his rightful place as Lord Stark. What occurred between now and then? He knew nothing of, but would welcome it with open arms.

[attr="class,"bioentry"] Dyzun [Direwolf] -- Eyes more vivid than the sun and fur that renders him indiscernible while immersed in the north, the white cub is the youngest of Scarlett’s litter. A livewire, Dyzun, while as large as his sister Yara, is the more spirited of the two. His playfulness is only matched by its utter beauty as its coat is absent of any inconsistencies. With a personality to match Jeren’s, the jovial docile creature is overly protective of him and his family. Those who pose a threat to Jeren aren’t spared from the strength of his jaws.[break][break]


Scarlet – Named after their original direwolf, this beautifully crafted longsword exemplifies the heart of the north. Forged from the most durable folded metals Winterfell could offer, the longsword was design to endure. Thick black comprises the fabric of the handle as the guard, polished and refined, resembles twin wolves protruding from other sides in perfect unison, showing the affinity for the mystic creature it’s moniker took from. A lesser weapon to Ice, this blade is meant for combat and truly is a successor, alluding to the journey meant for its owner.
