No, I meant 'Other' as in another House, group, nation, city-state, organisation, affiliation, non-profit charity.... Whatever. So the Others can be there as well, but it doesn't specifically mean them.

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

I have to identify with the Starks, specifically Eddard and Jon Snow (I know I know he's a bastard and we don't know how much of a Stark, yada yada yada yada).

I believe you do what is right and let things fall where they may.

I wish I could associate with the wealth of house Lannister though!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

I tend to identify with the Starks, not only for Eddard's leadership, but for where Winterfell is located. I love the snow and the thought of living in a castle where hot water is piped in just thrills me!
I also like the Tully's (except for Catelyn and Lysa). When Lord Hoster was dying, the scenario seemed so soothing - to be able to see the river that you love and know you will soon be carried away with it - if I had a choice, I would be Brynden - The Blackfish - what a great man!

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

It the Starks for me. I believe in the pack of wolves that stay together live. The family unit is over looked and to me at least is very important in development socailly and emotionally. Besides my dog is part graywind part ghost and all shaggy dog.

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

Everyone is going for the Starks, predictably. They're just the most loveable.
I went for Targ, 'cause I'm fantastic half the time and insane the other half. Oh, and because I'm a pyromaniac . Gimme my dragon! And some wildfire! Now!

Why does no-one love the Tyrells? Or the Baratheons? Poor babies. At least the Tyrells are pretty, and the queen of thorns would be an ideal relative... Assuming that being a relative put her on your side.

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

i chose the Tyrells... Who wouldn't want to be beautiful, rich, powerful and have the most beautiful part of the seven kingdoms to call home... And of course, they always end up on the winning side. Aside from that little incident when they sided with the Targaryens and beseiged Storm's End... but still, they emerged from that war unscathed and the key to maintaining the throne. For without the near limitless food they produce, much of Westeros would starve.
Olenna would be a great relative. You just know that if you get on her good side she'll do all in her considerable power and influence to give you what you want. Though she'd hold that favour in reserve for later when she wanted something back.

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

Starks here for me. I like that they don't compromise their values for personal gain, Ned and his honor being the model here, in fact it is often against their personal best interest. I despise sell-outs and hypocrits so this quality speaks to me.

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

Martells for me. Mainly because my mum lives in Spain, so I have a good feeling what the landscape of Dorne would be like, but mainly because they're such an interesting bunch of characters, very different to the staid bunch from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.

Re: Wolf or Lion? Dragon or Stag?

Baratheon. I liked Robert a LOT, despite some of his more unpleasant quirks. (Then again, it WAS Cersei he was inflicting those on, which mitigates that somewhat).

Also, I feel like Stannis (who I used to like a lot before he got mixed up with that Red Woman) has probably the truest, fairest claim to the Iron Throne. Just my opinion.

Unfortunately for you and Stannis, he does not get a whole lot of love and sympathy in these parts.
