What do you see characters doing in the real world?

Har!  Good question again @Varysblackfyre321.  This is a fun exercise.  I'm not sure about Danerys being into charity - a dragon does not plant trees - but I could see Robb the jock and Jon the goth.  Here are a few ideas.

  • Robert Baratheon - outspoken former general who is on all of the American cable new shows complaining about our military strategy and threatening to run for president some day
  • Jaime Lannister - something like a Prince Harry - member of a rich family that is followed by the gossip magazines for all of his exploits and adventures, but ultimately not being seen as a threat to do anything of any real consequence in his life
  • Cersei Lannister - Marine le Pen
  • Theon - your average fuckboi who gets caught date raping a college girl but then the judge gives him a suspended sentence because he has rich influential parents

Meh, I don't know about that. I always thought of Dany as a girl who wants to good but not the oppurtunity to do so in the way she wants due to her setting. As 14 year old girl she couldn't really destroy anything and I don't imagine she would.

What do you see characters doing in the real world?

Being mindful of their age.

  1. Daenerys - Happy to get her driver's license.  Goes to a private high school.  Class president and prom queen.  Does volunteer work at the local shelter.  Has three Rottweilers.  Fights with her older brothers.
  2. Tyrion - Spoiled son of a billionaire.  Womanizer.  Gambler.  Drunkard.  Tabloid material.  Think of a darker Arthur Bach. 
  3. Jorah - Over extended on his credit.  Working overtime to keep Lynesse happy.  Drives a Chevy Corvette.
  4. Jon - Moody and quiet.  Keeps to himself.  Average student.  Spends most of his free time playing video games.  Plans on joining the priesthood.  Owns a Siberian Husky.  Drives a hot rod Camaro.
  5. Sansa - Best dressed girl at school.  Struggling in academics.  Terrible in math.  Favorite class is home economics.  Not good in athletics.  Member of the school cheerleading squad.  Daydreams about the captain of the football team but he pays her no attention.  Owns an Afghan Hound.
  6. Robert - Business owner.  His business is about to go under.  Forced to pay child support to a half-dozen women.  Enjoys sports, hunting, and hanging out with the boys.
  7. Renly - GQ's style icon of the year.  The image of the metrosexual male. 
  8. Viserys - Heir to rich dad's fortune.  Drove a red Ferrari until he lost his license for too many moving violations.  Graduated from a prestigious high school but spent too much time partying college.  On academic probation.  Fraternity boy.  Wears expensive clothes and popular with the girls.  Fights with his older brother and younger sister.
  9. Rhaegar - Disappointment to his father.  Makes his living as an artist.  His specialty is body painting.  Married to Elia.  They have two children.  Rhaenys goes to pre-k at the local public school system.  Rhaegar plays at the local club to make extra money.  He doesn't drive.  Elia is a stay at home mom. 
  10. Little Finger - Wall Street executive.  A self-made man.  His holdings include stocks in gambling casinos, brothels, and pharmaceuticals, the legal kind.  Suspected of doing business with the mob but never proven. 
  11. Varys - Cross dresser in his spare time.  Special Assistant to the Targaryen family.  His day to day duties are unknown.

I feel like Jorah would probably be in prison for creeping on an underaged girl (Dany)

Joffrey would be a 4chan kid who threatens to shoot up the school daily so has to get sent to the special education room 

Ramsay is a serial killer with an episode of Law and Order based on him coming soon

Aegon is in the middle of a court case to be declared the dead millionaire Aerys' heir.

Mance and the Wildlings would all be libertarians

Ned is a judge who assumes all his children will grow up to be in the judicial system as well

Sam is the nerdy kid who spends all his time in the library and doesn't realize that the popular girl Gilly actually has a thing for him

Jon is captain of the soccer team, keeps trying to get Sam to join him

Arya Stark is moved from one foster home to another after her carers mysteriously die. Committed to a secure institution, which equally mysteriously burns down, and she can no longer be found. No one's looking too hard to find her.

The Baratheons

Stannis is trying to keep the family business together but his nephew and his brother's widow has the controlling interests.  Meanwhile, unknown to the family is the secret bastard Gendry who wants his share of the business.  Stannis at the end of his wits on what to do hired a special consultant from overseas to help bring the business out of the red.  Heiress Shireen is suffering from a mysterious skin deceased that caused disfigurement. 

The Targaryens

The Targaryens are engaged in a dramatic court battle to see who will inherit daddy's billion-dollar conglomerate.   Eccentric billionaire Aerys left it all to his favorite son Viserys before he got assassinated by his security detail.  Daenerys and Aegon have each retained the services of high profile lawyers to contest the will.  The Targaryen genetic research labs have managed to hatch fossilized dragon eggs and the company's common stock has tripled in price at the news.

Stannis and Eddard Stark are both judges, though Stannis is aiming for the Supreme Court (though he’ll never get picked because he wants to investigate former presidents).

Robert Baratheon is a disgraced former star athlete living on his past glories, getting into scandals every other month.

Ramsay Bolton is in a maximum security prison for murdering his brother, and is cell mates with Gregor Clegane and Vargo Hoat.

Tywin is the former Vice President, now a lead speaker in the Senate. He is also a main shareholder of his family’s business and is ceo in all but name. His daughter Cersei is in line to succeed him, while his eldest son Jaime is the highest paid sports player of his time wnd his younger son Tyrion is a womanizing alcoholic college professor.

Jon Snow is the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, working as a policeman under his biological uncle Benjen and police chief Mormont.

Robb Stark is a hotshot lawyer making his name speaking for the downtrodden such as his wheelchair bound brother Brandon.

Sansa Stark is estranged from her family working in the cosmetics industry. She doesn’t call often, and refuses to speak to Arya.

Arya is an investigative journalist living on an allowance from her father. She has worked for wiki leaks and has narrowly avoided prison due to her family connections. She occasionally helps Robb, has investigated Sansa’s peers for shady business practices, and keeps in touch with Jon.

Littlefinger works in finance, starting out as a hedge fund manager and rising high ever since. Is a silent partner in several companies, keeping offshore accounts under three different names.
