OT: what chars do u see as in life

[thespaniard]

Ok ive wondered who u think what character would be in History.
Ill start with i see Robb stark as Hannibal Barka ever since i saw someones (sorry for forgetting your name) signature saying ive won every battle but somhow im losing the war because of Hanibals campaign through Italy where he slaughtered thousands of Romans and was outmatched in every way but still managed to just pown. Until the romans sacked carthage anyway

[Heart of Madness]

It sound like the House of York vs. House Lancaster, as GRRM said it was intended to be.

But I would say Robert was like Henry VIII if anyone. Roose Bolton reminds me a little of Richard III as well.

Hmm.. I kinda see Cersei Lannister as Mary Queen of Scots. Both tried to rule, but failed pretty miserably, and both married close relatives (Cersei+Jaime, Mary+Lord Darnley)

I'd also think of Loras Tyrell as Richard the Lionheart. Both great warriors, both rather flawed, both with questionable sexuality...

Lol! So true! I've always hated Roose Bolton for some reason (probably because he betrayed Robb who I really liked >.>) but he is an awesome character. I have no idea who hes like, though. Emperor Nero, maybe?

[Captain Zoran]

Roose bolton = Darth vader?

[achudnow]

We're talking about real life people here xD

Although, regardless of that you're onto something there. Roose Bolton and Darth Vader are kinda alike.

Star Wars is not an science fiction movie, it's an historic biography. As stated in the rolling lines at the start, this was a long time ago.... It is known.

"Ramsay....I AM your father."
"No...THATS IMPOSSIBLE"

Khal Drogo and Ghengis Khan both conquering horselords

This signature?

I agree with Heart of Madness, can't really look past the War of the Roses comparison for Lannister and Stark, even the colours are the same (being from yorkshire may explain my affinity for the Starks then)

Roose is like Darth Vader, only he's never going to lose.

[Heart of Madness]

How is Roose like Darth Vader? If he doesn't remind me of Richard III, I don't know who to say.

[achudnow]

War of the Roses is one of the first things I thought of when I heard "House Lannister". Also, I think Westeros is loosely styled after Britain, with Aegon Targaryen "the Dragon" being William the Conqueror.

[Murfmurf]

Joffrey is blatantly Richard III. He's supposed to be a bit bonkers, whereas Roose is cold and calculating. Well, that's what Shakespeare would have us think anyway

I know this isn't person but a place but braavos is definatley venice.

Is Arya therefore the Merchant of Venice?

[achudnow]

King's Landing is London! I bet none of you even guessed!

How about Eddard Stark? I can't really think of a good person for Eddard.

[Túrin_Turambar]

Margaery Tyrell = Anne Boleyn

[lh197]

Margaery Tyrell = Anne Boleyn

I think the casting director may have picked up on that one too..

[Evilstein]

Khal Drogo and Ghengis Khan both conquering horselords

Drogo more like Attila (but Drogo failed ! Attila no !), btw both Attila and G-K was wiser and know about politics as they have a good Council made by them too.
