VISERYS TARGARYEN madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin “We will have it all back someday, sweet sister,” he would promise her. Sometimes his hands shook when he talked about it. “The jewels and the silks, Dragonstone and King’s Landing, the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms, all they have taken from us, we will have it back.” Viserys lived for that day. - A Game of Thrones PERSONALITY "ALL THOSE YEARS OF RUNNING FROM CITY TO CITY ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE USURPER’S KNIVES, PLEADING FOR HELP FROM ARCHONS AND PRINCES AND MAGISTERS, BUYING OUR FOOD WITH FLATTERY. HE MUST HAVE KNOWN HOW THEY MOCKED HIM. SMALL WONDER HE TURNED SO ANGRY AND BITTER. IN THE END, IT HAD DRIVEN HIM MAD." Until the age of eight, Viserys was shown respect, deference, and devotion. After his family was murdered and he and his infant sister were forced across the Narrow Sea, he had to beg for those things, and was denied all of them. Where Daenerys adapted to adversity and change, Viserys resisted it every step of the way. His view of the world is very narrow and revolves entirely around the Iron Throne. Even without a crown, a throne, or an army, he still styles himself King of Westeros. He doesn't for a moment consider that the people might not want him as their King, or that to raise and lead an army he has to earn a people's respect; he believes he is entitled to it by birthright alone. He's rooted in his past and unable to develop and grow beyond it. He's very proud with a very delicate temper to match; he often imagines slights where there were none. He's very vicious when provoked and calls his fits of temper "waking the dragon", something he frequently warned his sister against doing. He's very physical when he's angry - not because he's strong or particularly threatening, but because he holds on to the delusional belief that no one would dare strike him back. What's very plain to others - that he holds no real power, that he would be a terrible ruler, that he has a bee's chance of taking back the Iron Throne - is unthinkable to Viserys. Whenever he hovers on the edge of realization, he snaps. He refuses to accept his situation and because of that is powerless to improve it. Flattery soothes him. Gifts, reassurance, respect - he can go from white-hot in anger to calm very quickly so long as his conditions are met. Treat him like the King he isn't and he'll accept you; treat him like the beggar he is and he'll react viciously. He holds no respect for other cultures or peoples and takes no care to hide his derision (because, again, Kings are allowed to say whatever they like and no one can contradict them). When calm, Viserys is unpleasant but manageable. If unhappy he sulks and mutters - most often to himself - and at his worst doesn't seem quite aware of anyone else in the room. If he's happy he's almost pleasant - smiling, confident, if also a little insufferably smug. Whatever his mood, he won't allow anyone to forget who he is and what's due to him. APPEARANCE THE BRAVE MEN DID NOT KILL DRAGONS. THE BRAVE MEN RODE THEM. Viserys is tall and thin, with a gaunt face and long limbs. Underfed and uncoordinated, he's not a particularly intimidating young man. He bears the traditional Targaryen coloring: fair skin, silver hair, and violet eyes. His hair is dry and wavy and brushes his shoulders; he's both proud and guarded about it, as it serves as a very loud visual marker of who he is to both his friends and his enemies. He dresses in remnants of the fine things he's worn over the years, and it's clear by their state that his wardrobe hasn't been refreshed often. The hems are fraying and the cloth is worn and torn in spots. He wears heeled boots to make himself taller and favors clothing in red and black, the colors of House Targaryen. Most of his clothes follow the undershirt, tunic, and trousers formula, with a sword belt and a half-cape as accessories.
