ASOIAF first books revisions+some overall verse upgrade

Just finished reading first book and here are my suggestions for stats, abilities and keys for some characters. I want to warn in advance that this revision thread will be very boring and will affect to weakest characters of the verse with their not strong feats.

[Brann Stark]

I think there should be two keys in his profile.

Pre Crippled | Crippled

I think this makes sense because in current Bran profile there are such abilities like: weapon mastery and skilled horse rider (with references in chapters and in intelligence section), but these abilities relate only to healthy bran before he fell from the tower. After the fall, he clearly can't have this abilities. In addition, pre-crippled Bran must have this ability:

Acrobatics

(I want to say that imgur recently deleted all my ASOIAF scans. So now I'm uploading them to vs battles fandom. I think that as a proofs, I will copy the text from book and specify chapter, and I will add scans later to character profiles)

A Game of Thrones Bran ll
{The rooftops of Winterfell were Bran's second home. His mother
often said that Bran could climb before he could walk. Bran could
not remember when he first learned to walk, but he could not
remember when he started ce to climb cimmD either, clleI, so so he ne supposed supposed it must
be true.}

A Game of Thrones Bran ll
{Lord Eddard ordered him to the godswood to cleanse himself. Guards were posted to see that Bran remained there alone all night to reflect on his disobedience. The next morning Bran was nowhere to be seen. They finally found him fast asleep in the upper branches of the tallest sentinel in the grove. As angry as he was, his father could not help but laugh. "You're
not my son," he told Bran when they fetched him down, "you're a squirrel.}

A Game of Thrones Bran ll
Then for a while the guards would chase him whenever they saw him on the roofs, and try to haul him down. That was the best time of all. It was like playing a game with his brothers, except that Bran always won. None of the guards could climb half so well as Bran, not even Jory.}

A Game of Thrones Bran ll
{good climbing. You could go straight up to where the gargoyles leaned out blindly over empty space, and swing from gargoyle to gargoyle, hand over hand, around to the north side. From there, if you really stretched, you could reach out and pull yourself over to the broken tower where it leaned close. The last part was the scramble up the blackened stones to the eyrie, no more than ten feet, and then the crows would come round to see if you'd brought any corn. Bran was moving from gargoyle to gargoyle with the ease of long practice when he heard the voices.}

So. Bran in first key should have: weapon mastery, skilled horse rider and acrobatics. In the second key, he still have only limited time travel . I'm not touching on this key yet.

{Then for a while the guards would chase him whenever they saw him on the roofs, and try to haul him down. That was the best time of all. It was like playing a game with his brothers, except that Bran always won}

I think this passage maybe says that Bran can easily ran away from guards, who must be athletically trained warriors.}

Durability: Human level or Likely Street level

Likely Street level is due to the fact that Bran fell from highest tower in Winterfell. In the book, at the end of Bran II chapter, it is simply written that he fell. He survived, however, he fell into a coma + besides, navigating through the following chapters, it's hard to say if he survived because of his durability or because of some magic from another character, so the street level doesn't seem particularly suitable to me. But Human level durability should be fine:

A Game of Thrones Bran II
{instant of vertigo, a sickening lurch as the window flashed past. He shot out a hand, grabbed for the ledge, lost it, caught it again with his other hand. He swung against the building, hard. The impact took the breath out of him. Bran dangled, one-handed, panting.}

Bran resisted the impact against the wall. I think it should be maybe Human level durability

Stamina: At least Average
Since Bran climbed walls a lot and he defeated Tomen in their fight, he beat Tomen while he was exhausted on the ground, they were both wrapped in a lot of rags+armor. (A Game of Thrones: Bran II amd Arya I)

[Jon Snow]

Social Influencing (Leadership)

A Game of Thrones Jon IV
{The others were still in the common room when Jon returned alone but for Ghost. “Where have you been?* Pyp asked,
“Talking with Sam," he said.
“He truly is craven,” said Grenn. “At supper, there were still places on the bench when he got his pie, but he was too scared to come sit with us.” “The Lord ofHam thinks he's too good to eat with the likes ofus,”
suggested Jeren. “T saw him eat а pork pie,” Toad said, smirking. “Dо you think it
was а brother?” Не began tor make oinking noises. “Stop it!” Jon snapped angrily.
The other boys fell silent, taken aback by his sudden fury. "Listen to me," Jon said into the quiet, and he told them how it was going
to be. Pyp backed him, as he'd known he would, but when Halder spoke up, it was a pleasant surprise. Grenn was anxious at the first, but Jon knew the words to move him. One by one the rest fell in line. Jon persuaded some, cajoled some, shamed the others, made threats where threats were required. At the end they had all agreed}

[Tyrion Lannister]

Attack Potency: Human level

A Game of Thrones Tyrion IV
{"Go away!" the boy screamed back at him. "Tm a singer, I want no part of this fight!"
"What, lost your taste for adventure?" Tyrion kicked at the youth until he slid over}
+
{I believe that's horse blood," Tyrion said. The singer's hand came crawling out from beneath the dead animal, scrabbling in the dirt like a spider with five legs. Tyrion put his heel on the grasping fingers and felt a satisfying crunch.}

Tyrion can kick a young singer. And can break his fingers with foot. I think this should be enough for human level

Speed: Athletic Human combat and reactions speed

A Game of Thrones Tyrion IV
{Suddenly Marillion shrieked, covering his head with his woodharp as a horse leapt over their rock. Tyrion scrambled to his feet as the rider turned to come back at them, hefting a spiked maul. Tyrion swung his axe with both hands. The blade caught the charging horse in the throat with a meaty thunk, angling upward, and Tyrion almost lost his grip as the animal screamed and collapsed. He managed to wrench the axe free and lurch clumsily out of the way.
Marillion was less fortunate. Horse and rider crashed to the ground in a tangle on top of the singer. Tyrion danced back in while the brigand's leg was still pinned beneath his fallen mount, and buried
the axe in the man's neck, just above the shoulder blades.}
+
{Tyrion thought inanely as the second man came for him. Tyrion ducked under his
sword, lashed out with the axe, the man reeled backward}

Tyrion can keep up with Highlanders, who are experienced warriors.

A Game of Thrones Tyrion VIII
{"Die,' the man grunted, chopping at him savagely. Tyrion
barely got his shield up in time, and the wood seemed to explode
inward under the force of the blow}

Tyrion blocks a blow from Stark warrior with shield
___________________________________________
Stamina: Athletic

A Game of Thrones Tyrion VIII
(The battle for the Green Fork takes place in this chapter. Tyrion tanked multiple blows on the armor he was wearing. And he himself killed several people while on horse)

Most important feat of stamina:

{The knight came thundering down on him, swinging the spiked ball of a morningstar around his head. Their warhorses slammed together before Tyrion could so much as open his mouth to shout for Bronn. His right elbow exploded with pain as the spikes punched through the thin metal around the joint. His axe was gone, as fast as that. He clawed for his sword, but the morningstar was circling again, coming at his face. A sickening crunch, and he was falling. He did not recall hitting the ground, but when he looked up there was only sky above him. He rolled onto his side and tried to find his feet, but pain shuddered through him and the world throbbed. The knight who had felled him drew up above him. "Tyrion the Imp," he boomed down. "You are mine. Do you yield, Lannister?" Yes, Tyrion thought, but the word caught in his throat. He made a
croaking sound and fought his way to his knees, fumbling for a weapon. His sword, his dirk, anything .. "Do you yield?" The knight loomed overhead on his armored
warhorse. Man and horse both seemed immense. The spiked ball
swung in a lazy circle. Tyrion's hands were numb, his vision blurred, his scabbard empty. "Yield or die," the knight declared, his
flail whirling faster and faster. Tyrion lurched to his feet, driving his head into the horse's belly. The animal gave a hideous scream and reared. It tried to twist away
from the agony, a shower of blood and viscera poured down over Tyrion's face, and the horse fell like an avalanche.}

And after this Tyrion got out from under the horse and remained conscious despite the pain in his arm. I won't copy a lot of text because this thread will become even bigger.

[Arya Stark]

Attack Potency: Human level

A Game of Thrones Arya IV
{She plunged through the kitchens and buttery, blind with panic, weaving between cooks and potboys. A baker's helper stepped in front of her, holding a wooden tray. Arya bowled her over, scattering fragrant loaves of fresh-baked bread on the floor.}

A Game of Thrones Arya V
{She was on it in the blink of an eye, grabbing a wing as the pigeon flapped and fluttered. It pecked at her hand. She grabbed its neck and twisted until she felt the bone snap.}

A Game of Thrones Arya V
{Arya wriggled between Baelor's feet and threw herself into the
crowd, drawing Needle. She landed on a man in a butcher's apron,
knocking him to the ground}
___________________________________________
Stamina: Athletic Human

(I'm also not going to add the copied text here because this thread is already very boring, long-winded and nerdy. So I'll just explain: I think Arya should have athletic stamina because she often trained with Syrio+caught cats. In some chapter (which I will definitely add to the references) She ran into the cellars of the red castle, walked there for a long time, and after she got out on cellars a few miles away from red castle, she walked back to it. Later, when Ned was captured and Arya escaped, she lived on the streets of King's Landing for an indefinite number of days catching and eating pigeons.

[Daenerys Targaryen]

Abilities:
Resistence to Fire and Heat Manipulation

A Game of Thrones Daenerys X

{at the belly of the night. As the smoke grew thicker, the Dothraki backed away, coughing. Huge orange gouts of fire unfurled their banners in that hellish wind, the logs hissing and cracking, glowing cinders rising on the smoke to float away into the dark like so many newborn fireflies. The heat beat at the air with great red wings, driving the Dothraki back, driving off even Mormont, but Dany stood her ground. She was the blood of the dragon, and the fire was in her.}
+
{And there came a second crack, loud and sharp as thunder, and the smoke stirred and whirled around her and the pyre shifted, the logs exploding as the fire touched their secret hearts. She heard the screams of frightened horses, and the voices of the Dothraki raised in shouts of fear and terror, and Ser Jorah calling her name and
cursing. No, she wanted to shout to him, no, my good knight, do not fear for me. The fire is mine. I am Daenerys Stormborn, daughter of dragons, bride of dragons, mother of dragons, don't you see? Don't you SEE? With a belch of flame and smoke that reached thirty feet into the sky, the pyre collapsed and came down around her. Unafraid, Dany stepped forward into the firestorm, calling to her children. The third crack was as loud and sharp as the breaking of the world. When the fire died at last and the ground became cool enough to walk upon, Ser Jorah Mormont found her amidst the ashes, surrounded by blackened logs and bits of glowing ember and the burnt bones of man and woman and stallion. She was naked, covered with soot, her clothes turned to ash, her beautiful hair all crisped away ... yet she was unhurt.}

[Overall verse tier]

What I find very strange is that a lot of characters have this tier: 10-A, higher with weapons. Let's think about it. IRL swords and knifes is 9-C https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/European_Longsword


As you already know, most of the characters on the ASOIAF page are trained and experienced warriors. Even in the first book of ASOIAF, there are many moments when it describes how warriors kill each other (cutting armor, flesh, and bones). I remember seeing a couple of moments where even Tyrion with a weapon could easily cut through flesh.

So I think all the characters whose level looks like this: 10-A, higher with weapons, should have this tier 10-A, 9-C with weapons
