TYRION LANNISTER
"I wasn't deterred. I was the smartest person I knew."
personality: Were wits alone enough to win the throne, Tyrion would have found himself king of the world before he reached age nineteen. He is extremely intelligent, perceptive, and clever.. possibly too much for his own good. He manages to frequently outsmart his opponents and further prove that he should never be underestimated. Due to his status as a dwarf Tyrion is very accustomed to being ridiculed and has developed an extremely thick skin. In the rare event someone’s comments do evoke a reaction out of him, it often involves picking apart their character in a way that would make a poisonous viper cringe with discomfort. He is a realist, acutely aware of his own strengths and weaknesses, and equally aware how to use them to his advantage. Likewise, he prides himself of reading people as easily as he can a book, and often playing them without them even realizing they’ve been duped.
Having no expectations to live up to like his siblings, Tyrion is able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Which often entitle drinking himself silly and bedding more whores than he knows what to do with. He gets a particular brand of pleasure out of causing his father embarrassment and irritation, long since having accepted that he will never have the man’s love or respect. Having had very few good relationships throughout the course of his life, Tyrion is extremely loyal to those who show him kindness, and he has an affinity for outcasts underdogs. He has a sharp tongue that gets him out of almost as many precarious situations as it gets him into. Despite the frequent danger, Tyrion gets the same thrill out of a battle of words that another might get wielding a sword, even going as far as to refuse to leave King’s Landing under threat of assassination, telling Shae that “These bad people, it’s what I’m good at. Out talking them, out thinking them, it’s what I am and I like it. I like it more than anything I’ve ever done.”
"Tyrion prided himself on a great many things. His wit, his intellect, his ability to drink a man three times his size under the table, and remember in perfect detail everything he did to a woman after… well, Tyrion prided himself on quite a bit. However it wasn't until being forced to become the hand of his idiot nephew that Tyrion realized his patience had gone long without due reward. And he had every intention of correcting that as soon as he was done with this dreadful task. "I can hardly understand why you've insisted on coming with me." "I assure you it's not for my enjoyment." he huffed, nodding towards a guard who shot him a look of remorse in passing. Really the only reason he had been adamant to come had been because the archives contained the single copies of many important documents, which would be very unwisely left alone to the devices of the tyrannical toddler. He rolled his eyes at Joffery's next remark. "You're lucky I won't have you beheaded for such an insult." "Perhaps you should refrain from threatening to behead me for a few days." he suggested, voice thick with amusement that no one else dared to insult Joffery with. "If my memory serves me correctly you've already done so three times this week and I fear by the fourth the line may have lost its entire effect." He might as well try and educate his nephew.. No one else seemed to have managed it. "Well? You've got me here safely— your accomplishment for the day." Actually, he'd gotten Joffrey there without anyone losing their heads, and yes, that was quite remarkable he did feel rather accomplished with himself. He stood with his lips pressed in a thin line, however, allowing the boy to go on. He was rather accustomed to insult— he rarely wasted his time responding to ones so uncreative. ”Go find something more important to do with your time. That is… if anything that takes up your time has the slightest bit of value.” "I will try to find something to match the grandeur of killing puppies," he remarked with slow sarcasm, turning and reaching for the doorknob."
