As with many Career families in this day and age, the Stagg family harbors dreams of greatness, dreams of grandeur, and most importantly, dreams of victory. Known for their powerful physiques, combo of dark hair and bright eyes, and most notably, for their fearsome tempers, the Staggs are a relatively new Career family compared to the likes of wealthier families such as the Lyons, but that does little to lessen both their reputation and their skills. The first Stagg Career, Steffon, was rumored to be a Career of great skill and renown, a skillset that he put to use long after his days of reaping eligibility had come and gone. The elder Stagg fathered a number of children, both legitimate and otherwise, and personally trained them to carry his legacy before his death in a freak accident some years ago.
Upon Steffon's death, the family were split on who should inherit his estate, with a number of people favoring both Robert, the eldest, and Stannis, the second eldest. Eventually, the former won control of the estate, and as retribution, while the latter was put in charge of a significantly less important piece of property, having been passed over for a higher position in favor of the middle child, Renly.
Though no outright tensions have broken yet, there are rumors that Stannis has never forgiven his brother for the slight against him, and has largely withdrawn from the rest of the family, instead placing his trust in a number of mysterious associates to form his own Career pack. Robert, meanwhile, has quickly grown to loathe his newfound responsibilities and the stress they bring, stress that has begun to infiltrate and shape his personal life as well.
Ultimately, the bonds of blood have prevailed for the moment, keeping the family united, but with hidden ambitions and past tensions rising in the elder Staggs, the family itself may fall apart before a member of House Stagg can bring home a Victor's crown.
Hello and welcome to my latest plot. As you may have guessed if you are a fan of the show, this is a plot centering around House Baratheon and its members from the TV show Game of Thrones.
The names I have placed in the below descriptions are merely templates to signify which character is represented, and you can change the first names if you want, as long as the surnames remain unchanged.
This will not be a first come first serve sort of plot, so several people can apply for the same character if they so wish.
Descriptions are as follows:
House Stagg (Robert's branch):
Robert Stagg - 18 years old (reserved for aya )
The eldest member of the current generation of Staggs, Robert was once thought to be one of the greatest Careers of his age. A tall, broadshouldered, muscular youth, he possessed great strength and a warrior's wit, making him a fearsome match for anyone who dared to face him in battle. Known for his outgoing, gregarious, carefree personality, the eldest Stagg was a popular figure around Two, possessing an ability to make new friends with minimal effort. Recent events, however, including the death of his father, the alienation of his brother Stannis, and the newfound responsibilities that come with running an estate have taken their toll on Robert. His temperment has become laced with a constant irritability, and he's largely turned his back on his Career training, opting to indulge in drink and girls to try and chase away his woes, if only for a time.
Renly Stagg - 16 years old (played by @fabulousraven )
Unlike his older brothers, the middle Stagg has never been a fan of Career training, instead harboring a preference for more intellectual pursuits. Though he has been told that he takes after his brother Robert in looks, he lacks both the height and much of the muscle of his brother. Despite this, it is said by many that he is the fairest of the Stagg brothers instead of Robert, and what he lacks in physical strength he makes up for in charisma and a silver tongue. Though for the most part Renly is content to let one of his siblings claim the Stagg's first Victor's crown, he has recently shown interest in claiming it for himself, spurred onwards by both dreams of glory and his secret lover, Loran Vyperion.
Loran Vyperion - 16 years old (reserved for esther kim d3 {lance} )
Though not a Stagg, Loran has nevertheless found his way into the heart of the main Stagg Career pack, through a combination of his grandmother's influence, past as a mentee to Steffon himself, and the backing of Renly Stagg himself. Said to be a fearsome fighter with skills equal to Robert himself, Loran is a handsome, short-tempered boy with ambitions to claim a Victor's crown for himself, either through his own power or that of Renly's. Though on the surface it appears as if his relationship with the Stagg is purely platonic, in reality that is far from the case.
Gendry Stagg - 14 years old (reserved for Kingston Cesaire D3A [Tom])
The eldest, and currently only known, of Steffon's illegitimate children, Gendry is a good-natured, diligent, and naive boy. Learning about his Stagg heritage only recently, he grew up as the apprentice to a blacksmith, learning that trade as opposed to that of the Career. He later learned of his bloodline through Steffon himself, and accepted an offer to be taken in and raised as his own son, due to the death of his mother as a child and the low income his apprenticeship had generated. Within a couple of months after he had joined, however, Steffon was dead. As he had never known his birth father before his death, he quickly came to regard Robert as the father he had never had.
Bianca Tarbuck - 17 years old (played by sbeeg )
Another outsider that found their way into the heart of the Stagg Career pack, Bianca is a tough, diligent, powerful Career that caught the eye of the Stagg family, particularly Renly, due to her skillset. As one of the few fighters to defeat the Stagg's protege, Loran Vyperion, in single combat, Renly, impressed with her ability, invited her to join his branch of the pack, an offer that she accepted. Fiercely loyal to her patron family, especially Renly himself, she is fully prepared to enter the Games alongside either Robert or Renly, if only to protect them as long as she is able.
House Stagg (Stannis's branch):
Stannis Stagg - 17 years old (reserved for Noah Vau - D2 (Cato) )
Never has there been a Stagg quite like Stannis before. As opposed to the charismatic, gregarious nature of his father and brothers, Stannis is a stern, stubborn, unforgiving boy, possessing an air of coolness in contrast to the warmth exuded from other members of his family. He, like Robert, takes largely after his father in terms of physique, inheriting both his height and his muscle, and he is said to be one of the few boys that can meet Robert in battle as an equal. Though he is younger than Robert, his belief that he lacks the self discipline to claim a Victor's crown for the Stagg family is firm enough that he believes that he would be more suited for the task instead, a belief only strengthened by Robert's recent spiral.
Davos Seaworth - 18 years old (reserved for d6a georgie cham 🍓🐢 frankel )
Known as the Onion Career due to his low birth, Davos is one of the few that Stannis considers a friend. Impressed by the boy's smarts and dedication, Stannis eventually took him into the fold of the Stagg family, granting him both proper training and enough funds to support himself and his family. A honest, kind-hearted boy, he fully believes in Stannis's ambition to claim the Crown for himself, though he is leery of recent arrival Melisandre, who claims to harbor the same beliefs. He has a soft spot for Shireen, Stannis's youngest sister.
Melisandre - 17 years old (reserved for ali )
A recent addition to Stannis's Career pack, Melisandre is a mysterious figure, possessing great intellect and a silver tongue. What she lacks in physical strength she makes up for with several tricks honed by years of practice, making her an unpredictable and deadly fighter. She harbors a strong belief in a strange god, and claims to have powerful resources that can ensure that Stannis can achieve his goal of claiming the Victor's crown. She is somewhat at odds with Davos, Stannis's other key supporter, despite their supposed shared belief in him.
Shireen Stagg - 13 years old (reserved for я𝑜𝓈𝑒 )
The youngest of the Stagg siblings, Shireen is a sweet, innocent, almost delicate girl, and the sole daughter of the Stagg dynasty. Closer to Stannis than any of the rest of his siblings, she was the only one who ultimately decided to join his branch of the pack instead of remaining with Robert. Though her face is somewhat disfigured from a childhood disease and her Career training has only just begun, in large part do to Stannis's reluctance to introduce her to it, she possesses a wisdom well beyond her years.
Johann Wolfe - TBD years old (played by Onyx )
With nothing left for him in his home of District Eight, Johann arrived in Two one winter, freezing cold and half-dead from emaciation. Stannis first took him in, unwilling to leave him to battle the elements, and when his identity as a relative to a pair of semi-finalist tributes in a past Games became public knowledge, he invited him into his own version of the Career pack as well. Though it has taken time for him to adjust to the radically different lifestyle of Two, Johann has settled reasonably well, and there are even rumors that he's fallen for a local redhead in the past months.
