DJ Mormont (')

Lord Paramount Jon Jamie Aramis Mormont (a.k.a. Diablo)

DJ is the Lord Paramount  of House Mormont following the assassination of his father Vorchei Mormont. He is outwardly quite obnoxious and mean, even seeming evil at times, but he is really just a deeply troubled and traumatised boy. He has no self worth and doesn't know how to get people to like him though craves for attention. He feels like his life is something that is out of his control and he has been desperately trying to find that control. Really, he is a skilled individual and is capable of a lot which he has displayed in certain scenarios but would be capable of a lot more had he been encouraged.
His only true friend, his favourite person, is Duncan Sand who he created the ukulele with. He travelled with him and others (Gilly Stone, Jon "the ghost" Sprinklage, Ragnarr MacReed, She-Nay-Nay Thrush, Eddard Mormont, and Captain Prospero) doing quests for the immortal Gazza.
Currently though, he is running for The King in the East alongside Peter Sand and Robb Stone. He does not expect to win but hopes he can be taken at least a little more seriously within his family as a result of his run.
He goes by DJ which is an abbreviation for Diablo Jon. This may seem like a meaningless choice however this is in fact an attempt by DJ to go back towards his Ahtroni ancestry. The previous Ahtroni rulers - the Seltras - used to have a tradition of naming every second born child two names that abbreviate to DJ. So in fact DJ is tying back to this tradition in an effort to appreciate and represent his ancestors. He is quite proud of his Ahtroni heritage and he feels like he relates more to the less Pentosi views on varying social constructs brought about by House Renly in 1200 during the unification of Pentos.  
He is a favourite of the local tabloids of The Bear Isles with his various misadventures with his archenemy Achilles- Benoit Skall gaining major attention by the public. He has since left Sailstead though there are still reporters gathering information about his various escapades during the war.

Personal history

Parentage


DJ is the second born child of Vorchei Mormont and Yara Mormont after Catlynn Mormont and grew up being a general menace. When he was born the local tabloids raved about the new heir to House Mormont and quickly began theorising about his future and the life he would lead based off of the very few personality quirks he showed as an infant, however, none of them guessed the peculiar character he would become and the sort of infamy that would make his name known well in The Bear Isles as well as various places in Pentos
He was brought up in a fairly cold household. His father took to ignoring him and dismissing him whenever he was brought up. His mother treats him well and believes in him, though it seems to be founded in pity for how his father treats him. He does not have the most pristine view of his parents and does not respect them or their decisions which only further drives the rift between them apart. He does want them to love him, he wants to have a nice family but he doesn't know how if the others put no effort in either. He doesn't know how to feel about the fact he will never be favoured amongst his siblings and so he isolates himself from family matters.  
He does like at least one member of his family though. That is his great Auntie Cassiopeia who taught him how to knit. She used to take him on day trips around Bear Island and would teach him life lessons. She was very much like him, the least favourite amongst her siblings, rebellious and challenging. She sympathised with him and tried to give him what she didn't. He would quite often spend late nights listening to her old Ahtroni stories in her small cottage outside of Sailstead. Stories that made him feel happy. She is his favourite family member.

Early life


He immediately took on a sadistic (and semi-masochistic) personality, partnered with the general inexperience of his parents, he was enabled to cause pain to those around him and to himself. Nevertheless, he was still adored by his mother who kept his umbilical cord as a necklace as it was the first gift he gave her. He never really excelled academically to the dismay of his father but he knew the streets and the streets knew him...He became known around The Bear Isles quickly gaining his notoriety from his success in the fighting pits of Sailstead. He thoroughly enjoyed others like him, he loved seeing the similarities between him and his opponents as he took the light out their eyes.  
When Eddard Mormont was born, DJ grew extremely jealous as Eddard was clearly his dads favourite offspring. He started to act out and suddenly most his antics were aimed at Eddard culminating to a point where, when Eddard's friend Asda died- he tricked Eddard into the casket and allowed to get buried. The island went into a lockdown as people were searching for him and after the third day DJ fessed up because his fighting pits were closed. Eddard then revealed what had happened even noting that before he was forced in he was force fed Asda's raw, rotting flesh and then thrown in with his deceased friend. This was extremely cruel, even for DJ, and so he was evaluated by many of the best psychologists of The Bear Isles who concluded that DJ had bipolar disorder which caused his impulsive behaviour and mania as well as psychosis. This was not well received by his father who somehow managed to ignore him even more  
When DJ was aged 5, he was kidnapped by House Hardrada and held for ransom that his father refused to pay. He was kept for 6 months before being sentenced to execution which he escaped. However, he didn't return until six months later when his uncle, Rickon Mormont, found him in the shady district of Sailstead and decided to enrol him into the fighting pits. He has not told many people about what happened for the six months he was unaccounted for, however, there have been many theories proposed in The Bear Isles media such as running away with a circus, getting kidnapped by pirates or cultists, or even going on an adventure through to House Sand; he has not confirmed any of these theories.

The fighting pits


One famous opponent of his was the child of the lucrative House Skall who ran the exports and imports of all legal merchanting that brings much wealth to The Bear Isles. This person was named Achilles- Benoit Skall , who is around DJs age and was introduced to the fighting pits alongside DJ by Rickon Mormont. They mostly fought each other in the gladiatorial events where killing ones opponent was not necessary. They kept it this way to promote drama from rematches throughout both of their successful escapades. DJ considered Achilles his number one enemy, though unlike his other enemies, he did not wish death to befall him. The both thrived off of each others existence and in a way became close. They would spend time together "gathering information" off the other to perhaps gain an upper hand in their battles, though unbeknownst to either - this was only an excuse from both parties to cover up the fact they were lonely.

Post War


He was captured by House Hardrada at the invasion of bear island at the beginning of the war. He was found by Ramsay and Co. and promptly joined their group to the dismay of his least favourite person, Eddard, though he found a great friend in Duncan Sand teaching him to make ukuleles and causing hijinks and chaos in their wake.  
After he joined the group he formed a trio with Duncan Sand and Ramsay Reed and they blew up Bridgetown by buying barrels of wildfire and pouring it throughout the town, then lighting it when they were leaving on a stolen pirate ships. Then at Ironborn DJ split with Duncan from the rest of the group to go with Ramsay and The Nightman whilst the others left with Eddard and The Day Man.  
Then Duncan and him left Ramsay because Duncan didn't want to be evil like Ramsay and Duncan is the most important person to him as he is the best and only friend he's ever had. Him and Duncan then went sailing, trying to meet with the remaining members at Gazza's island. They had to subsist off of sea water and wood for two weeks until they landed in Hard Holme like Jack Sparrow in Curse of the Black Pearl. There he and Duncan became buskers using their new invented Ukuleles singing It's a Beautiful Day by Micheal Buble under the monikers Piers Morgan and Suncan Dand. There hi jinks ensued and Hard Holme was blown up using wildfire which they gave the name Green Party Juice.  
They then set sail going back to Sailstead but they were pulled through a portal by Gazza onto Captain Prospero's ship. From there they set off on a whole quest to save Gazza from a sickness by sailing to Haci to find Harwin and Gazza's old books.  
There they found a closed off town called Datlof where it seemed lived the only people on the island. They wall themselves into the town because of vicious, tiny creatures referred to as The eves. There Jon "the ghost" Sprinklage possesses a barmaid called Bessie 'the barmaid' Barmoid who he keeps possessed for the next few events.  
The group then go to an abandoned town that appears to have been ravaged, evidence of advanced technologies like Gazzarite Steel. While exploring a tower at the centre of the town, they see Datlof getting attacked by a fleet of ships and go to help in the morning.  
They then get captured by the attackers who were found out to be Vampires. They escape with the help of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his son (Michael or something). The group split up to find what has been happening by sneaking into the tents where DJ finds Dark Steel that seems to only be used by the Vampires.  
His brother gives him 2 rings he found making DJ feel a sliver of regret for all the things he'd done to him

Education

DJ was taught by one of the best tutors in The Bear Isles mostly about inventing, science, and history. he did not like these lessons (except inventing) and frequently ran away. he enjoyed his fighting and sailing lessons as well as his woodworking and music ones. he also completed 4 terms of music theory in a school. He invented the ukulele with Duncan Sand 10 minutes after meeting him. Duncan and he also found a way to subsist off of salt water and wood for more than two weeks without any other food or clean water. He mostly learns through life experiences and adventure and often chases after new adventures whenever the opportunity arises.

Employment

When DJ was younger he got a job in the town to be closer to his rivals. He became a butcher and started to collect the gallons of blood he'd drain from the pigs and throw them through his enemies' windows. Eventually he shifted to another job as an exotic break dancer at one of Sailstead's world famous clubs- Tumble in the Jungle , owned by gay icon Pingu of House Pingu.

Accomplishments & Achievements

He ruined his brother's life and he created the ukulele with Duncan Sand and survived a perilous journey of two weeks without food or water, subsisting off of wood and sea water. He has great knowledge of the human body, both because he is a murderer and a slut. He has also been a key part in the destruction of both the city of Bridgetown and the city of Hard Holme using wildfire along with Duncan Sand. He has also got a palantir which he bought from a shopkeep at Gazza's island.

Failures & Embarrassments

He is disliked by his father. He also got caught torturing Eddard in the Asda incident. He also generally believes himself to be a disappointment to everyone but her wouldn't tell anyone that. He is very lonely and believes this is for a reason; he believes his life to be a waste and wants to justify the space he has taken in the world though he does not know how as all his attempts have ended up digging him deeper into his less than favourable public reputation.

Mental Trauma

When he was only 5, DJ experienced his first traumatic event. He was kidnapped by people from House Hardrada and was put up for ransom. Vorchei Mormont, his father, decided not to pay the ransom, showing no remorse for refusing to pay for his own sons life nor for the fact that they would kill or imprison DJ if the ransom was refused. He was kept in a tower in Hard Holme for 6 months, barely being fed and being deprived of things such as a bed and a toilet. Once it was clear that the ransom would not be paid, he was set to be executed in the town square. When he was being escorted down to the square, he managed to escape from the soldiers and ran through the town, losing them. He ran into a small group of ruffians who saw a defenceless and desperate child and decided he would be a good toy to keep. They kept him for another 6 months - testing the extents to which one could push the human body. They hurt him to just before he died and then healed him back to normal. This process broke his mental state and gave him a sense of hopelessness. He eventually was found by one of the ruffians mothers who helped him escape and stow away onto a merchant ship from House Newt that was leaving for Bear Island, specifically Sailstead. When he arrived he wandered for a few days, nobody would let a scruffy looking kid into the noble district. He thought he'd have to live the rest of his life on the streets and so started to try and find a way to make money; he entered the outer ring of the city where the fighting pits are and ran into his uncle Rickon Mormont who entered him into the fighting pits along with a child he'd picked up, Achilles- Benoit Skall. When he returned home after winning his fights his father did not apologise or even show any form of emotion in response to his return.

Intellectual Characteristics

He is not very academically gifted, he hated his education and is not the greatest at writing subjects like English and history. He found it hard to focus and is very much a kinaesthetic learner. He can learn very quickly if he wants to, often with interesting things to him like fighting, woodworking or even street related things like the back alleys and gambling.

Morality & Philosophy

He knows what he does is bad, he just doesn't see the point in being good, there are no true consequences in life and he just wants to feel something. He wants attention and approval and he doesn't know how to be a good person so he does the bad stuff instead. He finds anything he's not good at infuriating and leaves it, he hates hardship and doesn't want others to see him fail. He wants friends but he doesn't know how to keep them so he makes them enemies instead. He would die for the people who actually stand by him because he knows he has no one else and will probably never have anyone else again.

Taboos

Being a decent person. He doesn't like them and breaks all the social taboos he wants.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

He has no motivation, everything is meaningless and boring to him. He's just alive so he'll make it interesting. He could honestly just sleep for his entire life and he wouldn't care he just wants to be out to see what influence he can have on people. He wants to have control because his own life is out of control and the easiest way to do that is to control others, to change their lives even if its brief, and it just so happens that ruining someones day comes naturally to him.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

He is good at woodworking and always carries a carving knife and wood glue, as well as strings for his ukes. He is also fairly inventive. He is good at sailing and knife fighting as well as ruining peoples days. He also has an affinity for crime. He is bad at logic, he cannot figure things out and he hates trying to. He is not very good at academics especially maths. He's bad at understanding people, he doesn't get why people are nice but he does have empathy he just doesn't care about. He doesn't like the fact he cares about people as it is much easier to him to live without care for others.

Likes & Dislikes

He likes blankets because they make him feel warm and wanted.He likes dancing and putting on a show for people. He also likes plush toys because they are his friends and will never leave. He likes jelly and rhubarb and custard. He likes raw carrots, they crunch and he likes the crunch. He dislikes rules and authorities and social norms, he tries very hard to break all of them. He dislikes himself and has low self-esteem but he wouldn't tell anyone that, too much pride. He also dislikes chickens, the meat is weird to him and the animals move like they deserve death.
He also likes his herritage and plays into the more Ahtroni side of his family. He enjoys being a part of the culture and feels accepted by it even though he generally doesn't have any friends. He has spent a lot of time in The Archives reading about old myths and stories as well as just general history. He probably enjoys the Ahtroni so much because he relates to a lot of old characters and historical figures and doesn't feel like his type of people are accommodated in the current Pentosi culture.

Virtues & Personality perks

He's entertaining and that's the only thing he'll actually do that's somewhat nice to people. He can make light of situations and turn them positive even if he does it out of a place of hopelessness and deep rooted irony. he means not what he says but its's hard to tell. He is quite an interesting character and has many quirks and intricacies that make him quite interesting to talk to.

Vices & Personality flaws

He is mean to people. So mean. He lies to himself constantly and acts rebellious in ways to show that he is in control. He has no destiny and people can't decide what he does in the future. The expectations laid upon him as the heir to House Mormont have no effect on him, or rather he'd hope they didn't. He disregards everything anyone wants him to be and battles within himself to find meaning. He tries to find distractions, things to happen in his life in big ways, the magnitude of things he needs are most easily found by doing vile things, and so he does them only worsening his own his own view of himself.

Social

Contacts & Relations

He has a best friend Duncan Sand who he would follow to the ends of the world. Duncan has been his only friend and has served as an anchor point for DJ during times of mental crisis. He may not feel comfortable telling Duncan anything about how he feels but he is thankful and will do anything he says.
He also considers the rest of the group as somewhat friends as they have done a lot together and DJ has felt like he has contributed a little worth to the team as a whole. He is fairly divided from the rest of his family. He talks to his mother, Yara Mormont, the most though feels like he can't open up to her because he won't be the son she wants him to be.
He never really interacted with his younger siblings (Cameron Mormont and Meera Mormont) much but they both seem to have a form of respect towards his general disobedience and arrogance.
He very much dislikes Eddard Mormont because Eddard is the favourite child and is everything his father expected him to be. However, he has began to reflect on the actions of his life and now feels remorse and regret for what he did to Eddard. He feels like he should reconcile with him and has started to try and at least act indifferent to Eddard's presence.
He is probably second closest to his archenemy, Achilles- Benoit Skall of House Skall. They spent years "gathering information" about each other by "pretending" to be friends with the other. They went on many accidental adventures together and Achilles is the only person who knows what happened at Hard Holme when DJ was between the ages of 5 and 6.
He hates his father Vorchei Mormont who has basically ignored him his entire life. He wants to impress his father but has given up due to the fact he has not even been acknowledged by him.

Family Ties

His mother is Yara Mormont, father is Brandon Mormont,younger brothers are Eddard Mormont and Cameron Mormont, older sister is Catlynn Mormont, and younger sister is Meera Mormont. He is going to get married to Ollena Sprinklage from House Sprinklage.

Religious Views

DJ does not believe in any gods, as per the Ahtroni culture. Though he doesn't discriminate against people with religious views it changes nothing about he he treats them. He knows about pretty much all religions as Sailstead is a popular place for merchants from all across Pentos and so he knows of religion from all sorts of different cultures.

Social Aptitude

He can appear very egocentric at times. People often find him initially very cocky and unlikeable at first however, this is because he wants people to like him and overcompensates for his confidence and pretends to fit the "bad boy" archetype. He willingly overcompensates to push people away but subconsciously he doesn't overcompensate too much to create the small possibility of someone actually wanting to be his friend. He only seems to have some form of manners when addressing his mother or when listening to a druid tell old Ahtroni stories.

Hobbies & Pets

He has a bear living in Sailstead called Penny who is like him both in stature and personality, though she has much more luck gaining friends. She is currently under the care of Vorchei Mormont . His hobbies include, woodworking, music, thieving, sneaking, conniving, treachery, murder, fighting, sailing, self-hatred, and knitting.
He often takes Penny on walks in the mornings at 5 am (he's a morning person) and likes going on runs along the beach with her.

Speech

He doesn't speak formally but doesn't have any weird inflections or speech patterns, not using much slang either. He doesn't want others to find his speech weird so he is surprisingly normal toned, though he doesn't have a good concept of his volume and is either speaking too loud or too quiet.

Wealth & Financial state

He has no need to accumulate wealth, if he needs something, he'll usually steal it. Though he did get a couple jobs making money as him working makes him feel like he's worth something. The money he gained from these jobs served as a physical manifestation of his self worth, it made him feel better, so if he comes across money he is happy, he has something he earned and he can hold something to show he is somewhat appreciated. He is contributing to something - the economy.
