HIATUS.
“what about netflix and kill?” ... asha no
Jaqen H’ghar’s first instinct is to offer the woman a dismissive arch of brow. Upon further contemplation, however, he cannot decipher whether she speaks with sincerity or in jest. He allows this confusion to momentarily mark his fine features.
“ Netflix—? ”
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this page; I really appreciate it.
On this page you will find no password, so do not fret. However, please read this if you’d like to write with me. Please read links 04. and 06. as well. Said links will give you insight into my portrayal of Jaqen and his many guises, especially if you are unfamiliar with ASOIAF/GOT.
There is an incredibly small amount of information regarding Jaqen H'ghar’s life; therefore, I will take a great amount of liberty in expanding upon the characterization given to him by George R. R. Martin in the series A Song of Ice and Fire.
**Thus, if you also write as Jaqen H'ghar, I ask that you please do not steal my headcanons or anything pertaining to my characterization. I have spent but a few years on Tumblr as Jaqen H'ghar; however, I have worked diligently to form my interpretation of him. Of course, everyone has a different interpretation when it gets to the details. I'm just putting this out here. If I feel as though you've done such a thing, I will privately take it up with you.
I do not follow blogs for the sake of following back unless I see a plausible interaction between said blog and Jaqen. ( Or, I may admire your writing/characterization!! Lbr. ) In this regard, I am very selective with whom I write with and I do this in an effort to keep drafts and pressure off of my shoulders.
I cannot stress this enough: The guise of Jaqen H'ghar is not seen many places in the books; it is challenging to get him to meet other characters, even in the ASOIAF world.
Please refer to the PSA. tag for further information.
Mutuals only, please.
However, if we're not in a mutual follow and you think our characters could have a plot line together, please do not hesitate to send me a message! I truly mean it. You know more about your character than I do, so if you think our characters could have a cool storyline, just let me know. I am really kind ooc! I do have the right to refuse, though.
Building off of that, this blog is multi-verse and multi-ship.
This account is based off of book canon. The only show influence on this blog is the faceclaim, Tom Wlaschiha, which is seen in my main verse. I do not acknowledge Season 5 and further of Game of Thrones, the show. That is, the Kindly Man oversees Arya Stark when she is in the House of Black and White—- not Jaqen H'ghar. There are many more differences, but that would force me to digress.
That all said, my verses/AU things are noted in link 03. because writing outside of canon is also fun!!!!! ( E.g., my interpretation of how Jaqen would treat Arya in the House of Black and White is quite different than the show's interpretation. )
I always accept multiple threads and ask prompts. If you want to have 7 threads going, let's do it. Do you want to send in 3 ask prompts at a time? Do it. Do you want to ask random questions about or to Jaqen? Do it. Live your life. We are here to write.
This blog’s purpose is not for shipping, but, if applicable, please do not force them.
I strongly prefer to be an exclusive roleplayer when it comes to romantic interactions. ( E.g., if an X blog would ship with my Jaqen, I would prefer that I would be the only Jaqen that X blog would SHIP with. ) However, I completely understand if my shipping partner is not into shipping exclusivity.
The only 'real' ship I see on this blog is Jaqen x Arya, but I will never force that upon you. Even then, I am extremely selective with that ship.
Nothing regarding underage relations will be present on this blog.
( Thus, when he's smirking a lot and being cryptic with her at Harrenhal and kissing her head, that is not 'shippy.' That's just Jaqen. Arya is a fucking child. THANK YOU. )
I am most comfortable when us writers are on good terms and have both in-character and out-of-character writing chemistry in order to ship our characters. If we do not click at all out-of-character, I will not be shipping with you.
My Skype ( fireoflethe ) and Discord ( inferuxs #4751 ) are available to mutuals. Please let me know your URL when adding me. I primarily use those platforms for in-character interactions, but out-of-character interactions are great as well! I'm almost always on them.
If you have a problem with how I portray Jaqen, kindly let me know what you think I am doing 'incorrectly' or unfollow me. I don’t mind. I love con-crit. Anonymous hate, if applicable, will not be acknowledged.
God modding is not welcome here. Killing or causing serious harm to Jaqen is considered God modding to me, but do not sacrifice your character’s personality for 'nice' interactions! Pushing, shoving, yelling—- all fine. Just nothing serious . . . unless you consult with me first hand.
That said, Jaqen will know who your character is when he speaks with them, unless your character is a god / supernatural creature with all-knowing powers / etc. It's his life's work to know what's going on re: ppl around him.
And please note that, as stated in links 04. and 06., Jaqen is a lethal character. He can kill your muse ( unless said muse is a god ) in seconds and make it look like an accident. Killing people is a part of his religion—- seriously. Please, never underestimate him.
AU threads are highly welcomed and I will jump on the opportunity to write them. Hit that link 01. and we’ll go from there. Or, send me a IM. Seriously.
I will gladly tag triggers for you if you ask!! This is what a trigger tag looks like: abuse //. Period not included.
If we are in a mutual follow, I ask you to PLEASE tag any images pertaining to NON-HUMAN/ANIMAL-like creatures—- shadow-like things that are lurking and shit. Like demonic shit that creeps into your room. These images cause me extreme fear and anxiety.
nonhuman //, tw: nonhuman, or nonhuman cw . . . all work for me! Whatever tagging style suits you!By default, I tag abuse and sexual assault for my followers, but nothing else unless asked.
This blog is VERY low activity. I am a university student doing a combined honors degree, who has two jobs, and who likes to read in her free time. I also have another blog.
Thus, I am NEVER able to reply in a timely manner. Also, I take a long time to write in general. You may drop me a reminder about a reply, but wait a week before doing so. I RARELY lose threads; it's likely in my drafts and just. sitting there. lmao.
I truly do have a lot on my plate and I will never pressure you for a reply. This is a hobby, y'all. A HOBBY.
If I didn't make it clear, you are always welcome to message me. I don't bite. Really! Gosh.
** This blog is in no way affiliated with George R. R. Martin, HBO, Tom Wlaschiha, Nicola Wincenc, Adrien Brody, or Aidan Turner. Damn, how I do wish it was.
Please do not take ANY of the icons or graphics or content on this blog; I will know if you do and confront you about it.
And, of course, the writing is mine.
Please read through this page before interacting with Jaqen, for almost all of this information is crucial to how I portray him. Note that a lot of creative license is used in this blog due to the lack of information regarding him.
A man, also known as ‘Jaqen H'ghar,’ is a member of the House of Black and White, or The Faceless Men. The Faceless Men is an organized group filled with men ( and the occasional woman or child, in rare cases ) who have the ability to change their appearance on command.
They are highly trained and skilled assassins who serve the Many-Faced God ( or, gods that represent Death in all religions mentioned in A Song of Ice and Fire ) and carry out their ‘deeds’ in complete secrecy. Most deaths carried out by the Faceless Men appear to be completely accidental to onlookers.
Jaqen H’ghar is a Lorathi from the Free City of Lorath, a man and place that few people know about. But Jaqen, in particular, is a façade of a man
the man who claims to be Jaqen H’ghar is truly no one, and his inherent identity is unknown even to himself.He has extremely angular features that mesh well with his long hair, which is split in the middle: red on one side and white on the other. His eyes resemble that of bronze and his body is extremely lean and toned. He is known for smirking when outside of the House of Black and White
a lot. His voice holds an accent that sounds German, and he has NO concept of personal space. ( I promise that's canon lmao. )Jaqen is first seen in A Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire posing as a criminal, alongside two other men who are not faceless. Arya Stark sets him free and, in return, he finds her in a heavily damaged castle known as Harrenhal and helps her cross three men off of her ‘hit list.’ He tells Arya to give him three names ( three people to kill ) so that three deaths may be payed to the Red God, because she saved three men, including himself, from fire. He grows to be fond of Arya and refers to her as ‘lovely girl.’ When he says this, he means it platonically.
Hopefully you now know enough about Jaqen to adequately write with him and me. Thank you very much for taking the time to read through this little biography I compiled. Now, here are some basic facts containing information I have gleaned together that make up my portrayal of Jaqen.
Name: Jaqen H’ghar.
Referred to as: Jaqen H’gar; a man; no one.
Age: Unknown, but assumed to be anywhere from his mid twenties to early thirties. It varies.
Gender: Male.
Hair Color: Half red and half white.
Eye Color: Bronze.
Ethnicity: Lorathi.
Sexuality: Heterosexual? ( CELIBATE unless noted otherwise in specific verses. )
Occupation: Faceless man and servant to the Many-Faced God.
This is a note to let you know that no one should underestimate a man/Jaqen H’ghar/any of his aliases at any time.
Jaqen H'ghar's characterization is built upon smirks and cryptic sayings. He is extremely polite and is obsequious to Arya Stark.
However, this does not mean that he is weak or immediately willing to be your character’s friend.
Jaqen H'ghar is a faceless man, of the The House of Black and White, which is a highly secretive and anomalous guild because of the incredible, coveted, mind-boggling abilities of which its servants possess.
He can mix and create poisons at a fairly advanced level; he can detect lies as easily as he inhales ( based on intonation [ or lack thereof ] in voice, micro-expressions, body language, &c. ); he possesses incredible hearing ( to aid him when on missions ); he has stealth beyond that of any hunter; he can change his ENTIRE identity with the swipe of a hand; and, he can compartmentalize his emotions and his memory.
Please do not underestimate Jaqen H'ghar and expect to be the exception.
