[Elekta Kount]

"Fate is not a given, it is a choice; you always have a choice."
Name: Karl Ularekath
Title(s): Count
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Family: Ularekath
Relation: 2nd Eldest Sibling
Inventory:
Righteous Fury- Essentially a finely-crafted rapier from the days of the order. The weapon is quick, precise, and deadly. If that isn't already enough, Karl can activate a rune within the weapon that causes it to light ablaze in holy light, extra deadly against the unholy and unarmored alike.
Bright Omen- Similar to the Righteous Fury, can be wielded in tangent to the rapier, although its hidden away as a backup weapon.
Braces of Flintlock Pistols- 2 sets of flintlock pistols, although slow to reload, are armor piercing. Can load silver built, which deal extra damage against the ethereal.
Lockpick- Good for getting into places that he isn't suppose to get into
Spyglass- Self-explanatory, meant for looking at things that are far away.
Regiments/Command/Bodyguards:

Spoiler: Karl's Hornets

A group of men, once a band of criminals forced to serve in Karl's retinue back in the days when he was a Witch Hunter, they have since not only redeem themselves, but honorably serve Karl as his personal regiment. They are also charged with protecting the rest of the Ularekath family, not to mention l'il Haifa, who has come to become somewhat of a mascot in the regiment.
Skills/Abilities:
Administrator- As an administrator to the his kingdom, it is his job to sort out minor issues of the nation that does not warrant the direct attention of the prince, whether it is going out into the field for inspection or filling out piles of paperwork. Most people would be terrified at the amount of paperwork needed to help run a nation on a daily bases, but not Karl. Though he is by no means in love with the paperwork, Otto possess the will to tackle paperwork no matter how high they may be stacked.
Secretary- It is Karl’s job to present the tools to aid the nation, it’s also to not waste the throne's time with smaller issues, instead presenting the throne with major or pressing issues while presenting options to solve this problems. It is also his job to pass on any orders or edicts from the Prince to the lower offices.
Logistics- To carry out the policies, you will need to gather the proper resources. You must consult the treasury for fund, obtain the materials, mobilize a workforce, etc. Otto is well schooled on the logistical steps needed in order to carry out a plan.
Former Witch Hunter- Being a witch hunter requires quite a number of skills, skills that Karl still process to this day, from interrogation to marksmanship to fencing to even free-running. Karl also process a great deal of knowledge when it comes to, quite frankly, everything there is to know about the world. Least he has a book for most things.
Magic(If Any): N/A
Personality: The best way to describe Karl is unamused. Granted he can acknowledge a good joke, but that’s the thing, he really just acknowledge a good joke. Most of the time he would just snort at it or scoff, in fact, most people have not seen Karl ever laugh or smile, least, not any more... But even so, that doesn't make him anti-social, fact is he has a tendency of leaving the estate at least once a day. Karl’s job requires him to deal with many people on a daily bases, as Karl also tends to the administrative side of the kingdom. He is rather inquisitive in the way he goes about people, always observing and keeping an ear out for anything and everything, all the while he seems like he’s not paying attention at all. This makes most people think that Karl is a cold and rather unemotional fella, but Karl does all of this to keep things professional. Deep down he cares for the well being of many people, especially his siblings, but he’ll rarely show it. It should also be noted, Karl has a secret dislike of magic, though he says nothing of it for the sake of his siblings.
Bio: Karl Ularekath is the secound eldest of the Ularekath family, but he wasn't always the only one; Walter, that was the name of Karl's twin brother. Even when the two were toddlers, it was pretty clear that the two were quite the opposite. Walter was always cheerful and upbeat, while Karl...always seemed to be pissed about somthing. Nevertheless, the two did everything together, and I mean everything. From eating to sleeping, from training to going to the bathroom, the two were an inseparable pair. It was a wonder how the two got along so well, again, considering how opposite they were; Walter loved to running and playing outside while Walter preferred staying indoors, spending hours in the library reading.
Still, the two did share some things among them, chiefly that of exploration. As children, the two would go on many adventures together, sneaking out of the palace and even the capital to go adventuring. It was a childhood filled with many stories the two had, from stealing an food from a noblemen's table to almost getting swallowed by a river troll. Those when the days when Karl smiled and laughed the most, when he was with his brother, seemed like they could take on the world.
Life was simple back then, well, then life got more complicated. More and more, the twins had to take on more responsibilities, including much more book work and training. Now, while Walter struggled from bordem in the classroom, Karl accelerate in this setting. Heck, he had to bail his brother out a couple of times when school work was due. On the flip side, out of the two, Walter was always better on the training grounds then his twin, although because of it he would often tutor his brother some more in the art of fighting. It was pretty evident to everyone that the two had potential, but potentials in different areas. Nevertheless, Karl decided to stick by his twin as he went into becoming a squire for the kingdom's knightly order. The two faced many hardships, especially Karl during this time, though with the help of Walter, they were able to prevail over many obstacles. The difference was still there, while Walter wielded both armor and heavy weapons with ease, Karl was more...the agile type, the better at being a fencer then a shock trooper. This did not go unnoticed, infact, all through the process, someone had been watching...
One day, a Witch Hunter approached Karl, offering him a career path as a Witch Hunter. Karl initally said no to the offer, opting to stay with his twin. However, Walter, being his twin and knowing Karl pretty well, knew that Karl was not content with being a knight, and he was only there because Walter was there. So Walter persuaded Karl to take on this opportunity, to do somthing that used the mind more then the muscle. With his brother insisting, Karl eventually did accept the offer, and began training to become a Witch Hunter.
Walter would rise through the ranks of the Witch Hunter order. While his brother was off fighting the war head on and winning glory for it, Karl was either on the home front or behind enemy lines, gathering intelligence, smoking out enemy ninjas(quite literally at times), and investigating the lands for corrupt magic. This didn't mean the two didn't cross paths, fact was on more then one occasion the two had to work together when the Order needed a bit more muscle.
Yes, the two did there part in the war, did it for both their families and their countries...one gave more then the other...he gave his life in the name of his family.
No one really knew what Karl's reaction was when he initially received the news, as he was in the field at the time investigating a possible shinobi presence. However he felt, he never showed it on the day of the funeral...what was pretty apparent, to the family afterwards, was that after his brother's death, he hasn't been seen smiling once...that was years ago.
Life went on, and Karl continued to serve the Order, but now his wrath against agents of Horokoshi was notably more brutal. Karl did alot of things during the Order...not all of them is ...story worthy.
However, one day, Karl returned from the Order, having resigned his post as a Witch Hunter. The reason? Perhaps it had somthing to do with red skinned horn headed little girl he was carrying stright into the palace.
Karl had brought back a demon child.
At first the everyone was in an uproar; was this his demon child.
But after a brief explanation(and some head knocking), Karl was able to convince everyone that this was in fact, he did not produce this child, rather, he had adopted her.
Now the reason behind this you'd be better asking him yourself, but it was pretty obvious that his previous occupation would have caused a lot of problems with his newly adoptive demon child. So instead, for the remainder of the war, he took on a more administrative role within the kingdom and by his older brother's side, as his older brother was much like his twin, and somebody had to be in the office filling out paperwork.
The war between the kingdoms then promptly ended with the declaration of love between the two eldest children of each family.
Again, no one really could read how Karl felt of the ordeal, but...Karl was there from the start, surprisingly, supporting his older brother, if not emotionally, then at least logistically.
Now, though, he had to deal with becoming a brother-in-law to a person who had slain his twin...
...this will be interesting, to say the least...

Bond:
Haifa- Being the adoptive daughter of Karl Ularekath, she is someone who he looks after very closely. Of course, he still looks as indifferent as ever, but his action speak louder then his displayed emotions. him Unlike most Royals, Karl goes out of his way to tend to his own daughter whenever he can. There two things that Karl always do with his daughter, waking her up in the morning and getting her dressed and fed, and putting her to bed at night by reading her a bedtime story until she falls asleep. The fastest way to piss Karl off is to hurt Haifa in any possible way. First, he'll tend to Haifa. Then, he's coming back around on your ass and he's coming with quadruple the fury he normally displays.
Secret: There is somthing that Karl is preparing for, and it has somthing to do with seeking relics and Haifa, although he never says what...

Title(s):
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Family: Ularekath
Relation: Adoptive Daughter of Karl Ularekath
Inventory:
Books- She never holds on to the same book for too long, as she's always looking for somthing new to read.
Demonic Medallion- The last thing she has to remember her mother, Karl gave it to her after he found her.
Regiments/Command/Bodyguards: N/A
Skills/Abilities:
Reading/Writing- She's still learning, but she's getting better by the day. Hell, she could sit down and read for hours if given the opportunity.
Sneaky- Being very small, she can easily hide in places that most adults cannot reach.
Magic(If Any):
Demonic Powers- Most of her demonic powers are still dormant, yet they only manifest while she is under intense emotional stress. Some of the powers that manifest include becoming incredibly fast and strong, not to mention gaining the ability to shriek. Haifa, especially when she's frighten, my accidentally summon a demonic fire ball. It's also said that she has an alternative form, but that's yet to be discovered...
Personality: Haifa is a curious, yet shy little girl. On one hand, she's curious about everything(maybe even putting those things her mouth), on the other, she's a bit afraid of meeting new people because of the way they will react to her. Haifa knows that Karl doesn't...show emotion on his face, but that's okay with her, because showed it in other ways. Yes, Karl was always busy, but he always made time for her. Fact was, Karl taught her a lot of things, including to stand up for herself and be courageous(even if he said those words with a frown). Karl was also the one who introduced her to books, which she loves to read. Give her a book and she could be content for hours. However, when she's not reading, she loves to roam around, playing outside and even inside. Haifa is also prone to tears, especially when those who she loves gets hurt, or whenever she thinks of her mother. Haifa is also prone to nightmares where she gets a vision of this strange...man, who kinda looked like her...she would always wake up from those dreams crying. What makes her worse is her demon powers, and in a sense she loathes herself for being born this way...being born a monster. But, Karl heavily disapproves of this way of thinking. There's always a choice, as Karl always says, there's a choice to submit, or to prove them all wrong. Haifa wants to do the latter: Prove them all wrong.
Bio: Haifa doesn't remember much of her past, other then her mother. Her mother is actually really the only thing she remember. Back in those days, the two of them would live out in the wild. Wasn't always comfortable, but with her mother by her side, she had all the love she needed. Haifa's mother would feed her and play with her endlessly, whenever Haifa had nightmares she would be there to comfort her. She nearly always there for her when she needed her the most, but...there were occasions her mother would leave and go off for "business" as she used to say. It was pretty normal for the most part, as her mother would sing her to sleep, then hide her somewhere, before going to take care of "business". Sometimes Haifa would wake up, and her mother would not be there, but it wouldn't take long for her to return to her; at times, she would come back bleeding, and Haifa would cry to see her mother hurt...but her mother would always reassure her that she was alright and make her laugh in someway.
One day, she woke up, and her mother wasn't there.
At first, it seemed natural, her mother was probably still away on business. Then morning came and she still wasn't there...Haifa grew worried, but she assured herself, her mother could handle it. Then the morning came, and she still wasn't back. Haifa grew bored, and left her hiding spot, but not to far. Her mother would find her, and she probably wouldn't get upset if she just stretched her legs...that was her reasoning. One thing lead to another, and the day went by with her playing and chasing various animals in the forest. Night would roll by, as Haifa returned to her ridding spot, expecting to find her mother. But she wasn't there, so Haifa waited. Then she started to worry, where was mommy? Worry turned into tears, and the next thing
A light came, there stood a very unamused man with a latern, and he looked like he was looking. Haifa hid in her hiding spot, but try as she might, she couldn't suppress her sniffles. Didn't take long for the man to find her. He looked like a witch hunter, men and women that Haifa's mother had described for the most part as "most of lunatics...but some of them weren't that bad." Haifa was thinking that he was one of the lunatics, but, turned out he wasen't.
The man was Karl Ularekath, who's last name somehow seemed familiar.
He was a blunt man, to say the least, and well, told her that her mother had passed.
What happened next, Haifa only remembered the tears and the heartbreak, but eventfully she remember being tired out, then restrained by Karl in a...some what of a hug. She remembered struggling against his embrace but, the more she did, the more tired she became. Eventrually, she'd let herself passout in his arms, to tired to fight back...
She would awake, finding herself in bed, with the same strange man sitting next to her, reading a book, and from there, well...her life changed, a lot...
Grudge: (You may leave this blank until there are more characters. This is essentially what a member of the opposite family has done to your character that has made things personal between the two characters)
Bond:
Karl Ularekath- The only other person Haifa has ever really known as a parent beside her mother was Karl, and after her mother's death, she's left with only Karl. Haifa see's her as her dad, and although he isn't as expressive in his love as other parents she has observed, Karl's arms are always open to her, and she knows he has a warm embrace. If anything were to happen to Karl, well...won't be pretty, that's for sure.
Secret: Haifa is actually the daughter of a demon lord, a demon lord that Karl had banished initially...although, his banishment is not permanent...and if he were to ever break free, he will be coming for Haifa.
Struggle: Fitting into human society is hard when you are a demon, as nearly everybody is afraid of you. Hafia also has difficulties controlling her powers, and is somthing she is learning how to tame.

Personality:
Kyros is a calm and a collected individual who tries his best to excel at what he does. Despite him trying to make himself out to be ruthless in terms of his work and the things he has done during it, he still has a conscience. There is an underlying sense of guilt from his actions as a spy for his nation that has haunted him for quite a long time. These feelings of his are often hard to pick out for most, as he is able to mask them exceptionally well. He often breaks his seriousness when near close friends and his siblings, with him being a person who enjoys spending time having fun with those he loves, with him realizing how quickly they could be taken from him. He is not confrontational about problems and struggles to bring up things in a direct manner unless they are of absolute and vital importance, with him dancing around the subject long enough until the person he is conversing with understands what he is talking about. Kyros has been trying to get rid of this part of himself, with it leading to him taking a lot less risks with his job as a witch hunter. He rarely fights with people during his missions and only does so if there is no other way to avoid the encounter. He is open minded to new ideas, with him having little to no problem with the marriage between the two warring nations coming up. He despises traditions and superstitions of the old, believing that the ideologies of the past do not apply to the present. In his line of work, he has little care for fairness, with him getting the job done and leaving the worrying after he is back home. He will try to find the easiest ways to accomplish his goals, with those methods requiring a lot of cheap tactics. He was a person who enjoyed cheating every now and again as a child, with this translating to his work. Although taking the life of another is a last resort for him, he will not hesitate once he decides to do so. Overall, he is an individual who values the happiness of those who he cares about and the well being of his nation.

Bio:
Kyros was born into the Ularekath family as the fourth child. With him being much younger than the three of his brothers, he was never really too close to them early on. As the younger child, he was the one to receive more attention than the parents, with him having to go to school and study. He did pretty well academically, with him doing fairly well with sciences, mathematics and harsh subjects that required logic, with him doing poorly in others where art and creativity were involved. Kyros was never a big fan of such things and valued development and the future above all else. The many traditions and superstitions followed by his family were things that he dealt with but secretly despised. But he could never speak out and share his opinions of such things with anybody. He bottled up most of his feelings early on, with him preferring to not open up to many people. This got him used to not being direct about many things which shaped him up to not being confrontational later on in his life.

His older brothers, specifically the twins, were always fighters. At least that is how it seemed to Kyros. Walter and Karl would always be practicing fighting and whatnot where Kyros would occasionally watch them from afar. Despite him thinking that it looked "cool", he himself did not fight with others too much as a child. He would always get the things he wanted in an indirect way, with him preferring not getting caught in the process. It was in his early teenage years where he developed a sense for stealth and being quiet about things over all. It was only an interest he had however, with him occasionally practicing but never fully committing to a job where he would have to work behind the enemy lines undetected. That was until his brother signed up to be a witch hunter. As soon as he found out, Kyros aspired to be a witch hunter just like his older brother whom he looked up to. Often times he would beg for Karl to teach him a few things and would greatly appreciate it the times he did. He worked on being as fast and efficient as possible, while also learning magical abilities that would benefit him in this line of work.

His earlier missions were incredibly easy for him to pull of. He had years and years of training under his belt, leading to him dispatching the tasks he was given quite easily. His confidence rose substantially as he was starting to think of himself as being impossible to find out. That was until the one mission that changed his outlook on most things. Kyros had not enough proficiency with his cloaking skill, which meant that he would flicker every now and again. This would not prove to be too detrimental in most cases which is why he did not practice it that much. But in this one mission, a guard spotted him which lead to his detection. Up until this point, Kyros had not taken a life from another. The first life he did take however, was one that he certainly would never forget. While running from the Horokoshi guards, he ran into two women who belonged to the royal family. With him being completely unaware of this and being in a state of complete panic, he impulsively and wildly slashed at one of them, mistaking them for guards. His strike had killed the Queen, a moment that he could recall to with complete clarity any moment now. Stumbling from shock and fear, Kyros turned and ran with tears in his eyes unable to cope with what he had done.

The experience changed him as a person. He still disliked direct confrontations. However, he was okay with killing now that his hands were bloodied. But the guilt from that one murder haunts him in his every waking moment, with him trying his very best to ignore it ever happened. He realized how important family really was, with him feeling bad for taking a member from another family away. Kyros tries his best to enjoy his time with those that are still with him, spending more time with them. But the encounter has also encouraged him to start training even harder. Now he is a fairly proficient spy whose skills, abilities, and magical prowess increase steadily, with him protecting his siblings and the interests of his family above all else. He had no objections to the marriage, with him not being as tied to older ways of thinking and despising your enemy as others of his country. Whatever made his brother happy, made him happy too.

Grudge:
[PLACEHOLDER] for stealing his favorite dagger that was gifted to him.
Bond:
+Karl - Mentor-Student|Older Brother that he learned from
+Merliah - Really good friend

Secret:
He has murdered the Horokoshi Queen

Struggle:
Immense guilt from murdering the Horokoshi Queen


Relationships:
Karl - As his older brother, Karl is someone that Kyros naturally looks up to in many ways. Him being made witch hunter is one of the biggest reasons as to why Kyros decided to become one in the first place. He is the first person Kyros goes to for help and advice on general things, trusting his wisdom and judgement. Despite Karl showing indifference to many things in terms of his emotions, Kyros knows that he is a person who deeply cares for his family and those around him. At the end of the day, Karl is a great person to share a beer with to him.
Haifa - The demonic adopted daughter of his older brother was one that

Kyros himself was wary of at first. But he trusted his brothers judgement above all which, combined with him being generally openminded, lead to Kyros accepting her into the family. Despite him not getting to be around her too much, Kyros does try his best to to be friendly with her and entertain her. Although not as protective as Karl, Kyros would not allow her to be in harm's way if Karl himself is tied up.
Florian - Although not as close to him as his other siblings, Florian is still the eldest, leading to Kyros respecting him. To Kyros, he always seemed to be made for the position of the king with his personality and pretty much everything about him which was something that always slightly ticked him off. But his courage in standing up for what he wished for despite the odds was something Kyros approved of. He has recently become slightly more distant to him, as does fear what would happen if the bride told his brother of the crime Kyros had committed. Nevertheless, he supports Florian's every decision and will always be there to help him and to protect his interests, unless they cross with his.
Merliah - In terms of friendship, Merliah is arguably the closest to Kyros as she is the one he has the most fun with when around. Her exaggerated and energetic attitude compliments his which leads to them being able to connect relatively well. He knows of how she does not like being a princess and being confined to her room most of the time, often thinking of her as a boy trapped in the body of a girl. She frequently asks about the many situations and adventures he has encountered on his journeys, intently listening as he tells the story in an exaggerated but fun way. He often brings back gifts and cool things he steals from behind the enemy lines for her. Kyros always cares about the well being of Merliah and is not afraid to break a few rules here and there if it means keeping her happy.

Character Quote
Name: Florian Ularekath
Title(s): Prince, Heir Apparent, Sir, Knight of the Bright Blaze
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Family: Ularekath Royal Family
Relation: Eldest Sibling

Appearance: (Preferably Images, skip if you already posted it above. No Real Life Images)
Inventory:
Regiments/Command/Bodyguards:

Knights of the Bright Blaze: The oldest order of knights in all of Ularekath. Dating back to the first kings of Ulareketh they have have trained and fought by the side of the royal family. The only thing that has changed in this order since its birth is the fashion of the times. Beyond that these heavy cavalry shock troops, made up of all levels of nobility, had stood before every challenge they have faced however bloody it left them and sent all who tested them packing. Their charge made all the more vicious by their habit of setting their lances on fire.

Spoiler: Bright Blaze Knights

The Household Guard: This smaller regiment HAS moved with the times. This small regiment of musketeers was originally founded as a fashion statement by earlier Ularekath monarchs wanting to show off their military's progress in the black powder arts. Over time, as technology progressed and gunpowder became wider spread The Guard's weapons and gear improved in quality. Now they have become the musketeers of the modern age, making for body guards that can go where a knight lacking his horse cannot. They are sworn to protect the persons of all royal family members and once the wedding goes through that will include Kora.

Spoiler: Household Guard

Skills/Abilities:
Swordplay and horsemanship: The Bright Blaze are as old as the kingdom of Ularekath itself, its founding members being warrior thanes to the Ularekath warlords that first carved their country. Since then it has been a part of their order's traditions and privilege to train and guard the royal personage. Once he was of age Florian was sent to the order to be trained in the arts of war. Here he learned how to ride with ease, trained day in and out with lance and sword. By the time he was knighted Florian was at ease riding in a heavy cavalry charge and war would only hone his skills.

Command: It is not enough for a Prince and a Knight to follow along with orders like a common foot soldier. Though not a grand strategist Florian is trained in commanding troops in the field, rallying those around him to hold strong or charge. It may fall to people like Karl to think up detailed plans and thanks to Florian they can survive contact with the enemy if he could borrow and old phrase. This same air of gravitas is something that follows Florian off the battlefield as well, even without shouting his title he can walk into a room like he owns it and project a presence that makes others want to get on his good side. Something he can take for granted at times.

Courtly Etiquette: Having pride is one thing but it would not fit a man of breeding to shame himself in front of dignitaries and envoys, lest he cause them to think his people savages because of his own behavior. Florian can walk while balancing a book on his head if need be, but usually he finds it more efficient to adopt the proper stances and motions of greeting. He may not be a scholar when it comes to linguistics and the history of other cultures but he does at least know what NOT to do and can lay on the charm when needed.

Magic(If Any): None

Personality: Florian is what a man of Ularekath should be. Mainly because he never stood a chance of becoming anything else. A life spent under the stern eye of royal tutors and instructors have drilled the values of Ularekathian masculinity into him.

Fiery in his passions and stern in his manner. Florian holds himself like a true prince of the land of fire and iron, never lowering his gaze and always speaking with a clear and commanding voice before his people. He walks with the straight back and swaggering stride of a knight of the noble class. In public his air of command can be one of his greatest weapons as he brings a lifetime of training and lessons to bare. He can summon a warm laugh that would put any plaintive at ease, a searing scowl that would silence his detractors, and even a roaring battle cry that would light a fire in the hearts of his soldiers to hear it. Such was the fury he showed when entering battle that he earned the nickname “The roaring flame” among both armies. A reputation that spread like wildfire.

Florian is described as stubborn by most but simply considers himself certain his views and is slow to be won around by new ways of thinking. Surprisingly he actually respects such hardheadedness in others, even if it puts them at odds he would not disrespect someone who stands by their beliefs. He does, however, disdain those who are easily swayed or will alter themselves simply for gain, calling them 'Politicians' and 'Devious'. He handles stress with the same aggression and desire for action he approaches most things and though he tries to control his temper he finds it hard to hide his emotions when his blood is up. Kora is one of the few people that have shown a skill for calming him.

In private, among people he's more comfortable with, Florian lets down some of his defenses and acts more like a person and less like a monarch. Though he tries to not show weakness in front of his family he can never fully hide the fatigue recent events have put on him. Although he'd rather be out and about doing something rather than sat at a desk reading dusty tombs Florian does have a soft spot for philosophy. He isn't very good at expressing such things though and his interest tends to take the form of pestering whoever he's talking to with questions.

Bio:
In his youth Florian was everything a kingdom such as Ularekath could want in an heir. A fiery and brash young man, eager to settle every problem with a duel and happy to get into a scrap if the other fellow didn't have a sword. Loudly sharing a drink with his fellow squires and getting caught with serving girls on a summer knight. Yet not so foolish as to cross a line that would be deemed unforgivable. This was just a lad enjoying the life he'd been born into.

Soldiers around the castle could be heard to laugh about his latest antics when he was free from his tutors and say things like, “You could share a mead with that lad, Florian.”

So it was with eagerness and arrogance that Florian went on his first mission abroad. The first test set by his father to make him ready for matters of state. It was a simple thing, to attend a ball in a neighbouring kingdom and renew their trade contracts with Ularekath. So of course he ended up challenging a nobleman to a duel in front of the party hall after hearing the man speak rudely of a woman at the party. Florian maintained he HAD to do it for his own honour as a knight and for the honour of the young woman in question who he assumed was beautiful despite not having seen her. The thrashing he gave the man was something he could take pride in and put on a good show for the crowd he felt. So imagine Florian's shock when a Horokoshi girl came forward to thank him for needlessly representing her in a battle she did not ask for!

Florian would have made some excuse to leave, living with the embarrassment of accidentally defending his ancient blood enemy but social protocol meant he had to at least share one dance with the girl. It was during that dance he learned her name was Kora... and he kept getting lost in those stupidly beautiful eyes...

Perhaps they'd both had too much wine that night but he found himself by her side for the rest of the night, talking, laughing and dancing. For the rest of his week away Florian would wander the palace grounds in his spare time and hoping to run into Kora again if only to prove to himself that the fluttering in his stomach he felt that night was just because of the drink and the fight. He did find her again, and he did feel those same flutters again. The girl seemed so quiet and shy, how could she do this to him?! At least he could go home and forget about this eastern temptress and her soft spoken ways and how she always smelled like flowers!

Only that wasn't to be the case. Pleased with his success at this fledgling trade mission his father saw fit to send Florian away again. This time to a Horokoshi border kingdom. Florian shouldn't have been surprised when he ran into Kora but he was, and he didn't handle it as a prince should, falling over himself like a damn fool. This was where things truly took shape when he learned that Kora returned his feelings. After that Florian found every excuse he could to travel, trading secret missives with Kora whenever he could to arrange when they could meet in secret. Their families would never understand and Florian had no idea what they could do about it in the future... but for now he was happy to steal what moments he could with Kora.

It was during this time that there began to be a real change in him. The brash boy began to fade and in his place stood a man. A Prince who threw himself to his duties, held himself with dignity as well as pride. Someone who looked to the future of his nation. That man would face his greatest test when the conflict with Horokoshi got truly bloody. The men of the royal line rode out to war, with Florian and his fiery clad knights at their head. Holding council with his advisers and strategists, and leading his armies like a wrecking ball into Horokoshi territory. In the heat of the moment he fought with all he had, fought for the men beside him and closed his heart to the death that surrounded him. When the fighting was over for the day Florian would retreat into himself and pray that Kora was safe and that she could stand to look at him if they ever met again.

So it was with a flood of emotion that he almost cried when he saw her again and felt her run into her arms. For a moment the world disappeared and all felt right, as if he could forget all the violence he'd seen and committed. Until the world saw fit to interrupt them and Florian had to steel his voice before drawing his sword.

“This is the future queen of Ularekath and I shall strike the digits from any man who dares lay a hand on her!” He roared at the approaching soldiers. He would have to get down on bended knee before Kora later and beg her forgiveness for giving such a terrible proposal but it got his point across at the time.

So now Florian has a wedding to attend, a hurting family to bring together, and the joy he feels at finally being able to be with the woman he loves is only rivaled by the stress of bringing two nations that were born to hate each other together in peace.

Grudge: (You may leave this blank until there are more characters. This is essentially what a member of the opposite family has done to your character that has made things personal between the two characters)

Bond: Kora - Where to even begin? The love of his life. One Florian has fought for. Gone against the will of his father to see. He stood against his own men, just to stand by her side. Now he finally gets to and all the word's eyes are on them, he just hopes he's up to the challenge.

"Wind Cutter:
His most prized possession, Shin carries around a steel alloy katana, hand crafted for him by the best smith in all of Horokoshi. The blade is very well balanced, with the grip lacking any form of ornate decorations, a feature made at the behest of Shin. It's meant to be placed on the left side of a person's hip, but Shin has started to wear it on his right side as a sign of respect.

Dragon Blades:
The Dragon Blades are an elite group of swordsmen directly under Shin's command. They are chosen from some of the best swordsmen in the nation.

Magic(If Any):
None
Personality: (+1 Paragragh)
In his youth, Shin was a brash, overconfident young man, determined to bring honor and glory to Horokoshi. But after the war, he made a drastic change in character. He was calmer, more considered. Instead of defeating his enemies with sheer, overwhelming forces he took a more careful approach, trying to defeat them as cleanly as possible. He also became extremely dedicated to his honor, being polite and respectful for everyone, even his sworn enemies. To him, his own personal feelings don't matter compared to the power he answers to, so he tries to suppress his hatred for Ularekath.
Bio:
Born the second child of the Horokoshi royal family, Shin was expected to look after his younger siblings and answered to his older sister while also helping her run the country. He was always a brash, confident personz and his exceptional sword skills only made his ego even bigger. He hated the Ulkareth because his country had always hated them. He had no idea why they fought, and he frankly didn't care. It brought him and his family honor, and that was enough. It was his first taste of real battle that would change him forever. The blood, the carnage, the hatred. It was too much for him. As the years went on, he committed horrible atrocities, becoming increasingly bitter over his situation, and the monster he was becoming. His greatest regret is killing one of the twin princes of Ulkareth. It was dishonorable, as Shin acted out of desperation, throwing dirt in the Prince's eyes before impaling him with his wazikashi, a blade meant only to shed his own blood. Then, as suddenly ad the war had began, it ended. He was bitter and angry, hating what he had become. He lost everything, his father, his mother, his honor. Everything. And why did it end? Because his sister fell for some pompus prince who fought against him. He held a hatred for his soon-to-be brother-in-law, and hasn't truly accepted him yet. It was during this time that he fathered an illegitimate son with a peasant girl, and he tries to spend as much time with her and their son as he can. He cleaned himself up eventually, determined to force himself to make peace with his enemies. But the scars remained, and scars don't heal easily, if ever.

Grudge:
He hates Florian for leading the war against Horokoshi and suddenly calling the war off.

Bond: He feels guilty for killing the Karl's twin brother, and is naturally forgiving of the surviving brother.

Secret:
He fathered an illegitimate child, and intends to marry his mother under the guise of her being a widow.

Struggle:
He has developed a bad drinking habit to try and suppress his problems.
Relationships: (Essentially the relationship dynamic between the character and his/her respective family)

Hobbies:

Dislike:
Dishonor, disrespect, selfishness.

Fears:

He has been assigned as the princess' bodyguard after the attack from the witch hunters of Ularekath, and he's now 32 years old. He doesn't appear next to the princess, but rather stays in the shadows and will only be present when called upon, or when absolutely necessary i.e. when Rui is in danger.

[/div][div class="rightside content4"][div class=title]personality:[/div] There are many words to describe Rui, perhaps the best one would be easygoing. She's always wanting to do something with a member of her family during her free time. If she couldn't get any of them, she would be spending time with Suijin. She's a just and kindhearted person towards the townsfolk of Horokoshi, and whenever she's feeling social, would enjoy a drink and a party in town. She knows when to have fun and it helps her cope with the brutalities of war. Rui knows the line she can't cross and doesn't indulge in any relations that will dishonour her family. Her benevolent heart isn't limited to people, animals and mythical creatures alike experiences her kindness. Perhaps that was what Suijin liked in her and chose to stay by her side. On the battlefield, her confidence and bravery is contagious amongst her comrades, and she always makes sure she's there to support whenever needed. Making her an easy and dependable leader to follow. Although, when it comes to her duties as a princess, politics and paperwork, she would always push it on someone else or slip away. She's too impatient and restless to be sitting on her arse all day doing things she has little to no interest in. But if her family ever asks her of anything, she would make sure it's done to the best of her capabilities.

[div class=title]struggle:[/div] Rui thinks that she's never able to be as gifted and strong as her siblings.[/div][/div] [div class="container page5"][div class="leftside img5"]

[/div][div class="rightside content5"][div class=title]bio:[/div] Being the youngest in the family had its perks and its drawbacks. Rui was doted on by her parents and older siblings, but it also meant she had to live up to her parents' expectations as her elder siblings are all gifted and skilled in leadership or fighting. She herself did not want to be in any of their shadows as well, but she needed to learn the basics. And where better to learn than from the best of the best? She wasn't very good at strategies or thinking of tactics with her mother and didn't have an affinity with magic. She matched better with her father and brothers, she liked the rough-housing, the training that pushed her to the limits, the rush of adrenaline. Above all, she loved spending time with her family.

[div class=title]the witch hunter attacks...

[/div]

16 year old Rui laughed and patted the Zheng's mane. She had named her Raiki for the mythical beast's roar sounded like claps of thunder. She had planned to introduce her to her two brothers, and they were now waiting for their arrival. The beast kept thumping its massive paws on the ground, and Rui thought that the creature was just as excited and nervous to meet them. Oh, how naive she was. Raiki roared and shoved Rui out of the way with her head just as an arrow flew out of the tree line, barely missing the beast. She wasn't sure which to be more shocked at.

Without wasting another second, she jumped to her feet and grabbed her spear. She was barely ready for a real battle, but she had no choice. The group of soldiers already approached them and the crest of Ularekath was easily recognisable on the soldiers metal armours. Seeing her kingdom's enemies only fuelled her will to fight back more. Raiki charged first, bowling through the soldiers while Rui struggled to fend off the fast bullets and crossbows, but managed to disarm them long enough to get back to Raiki's side. A soldier held a crossbow to the beast while it fought his comrades. With a war cry, she swung her weapon at him. His blood splattered on her hands and cheeks. Her mind raced like a million miles a second, it was her first kill. Her beast's roar stole her attention and time seemed to have slowed down.

Raiki's massive form slumped over a man as he pulled out his rapier from her chest. "No... No!" The fallen soldier at her feet was long forgotten as she charged at him in anger. Fat tears blurred her vision, her scream was filled with pain and wrath. But before she could even reach him, she was swooped up in her brother's arms and landed awkwardly on his horse. "Shin! (Brother's name)! We.. We have to kill him! He.. He killed her!" She begged them through her sobs. Her eldest brother only turned away and galloped back, holding on to a struggling, crying mess of his youngest sibling.

Rui shut herself away for a while, mourning for the loss of Raiki. She had already considered her family. She's never felt this helpless and hopeless before, and was at an absolute loss about what to do. It was only thanks to the efforts of Shin and (brother's name) that she finally came out of her room. Her feelings of loss was still raw and they comforted her, being patient with her, and motivated her to grow stronger to protect those she loves.

Rui fought in her first official battle when she was 18. Thankfully, she and the regiment came home victorious. Battle after battle, her father sent her out to fight for the family, but never to the front lines. And she felt hurt, thinking that he did not trust her skills enough, and that she couldn't be out there with her brothers, fighting for Horokoshi with them. She tried persuading Shin, but even he shut her down. Leaving a pouting, childish girl at home. Dwelling on things that upset her never made her feel better, so she decided to go for a swim. It was the next moment that made her day (probably her life) better. There, swimming with her, was a water dragon. It was about half the size of her that time, and she nearly mistook it for an eel or a snake. Rui kept going back to the same spot along the river to find him. To her delight, the mystical beast grew fond of her as well, and she named him Suijin. The princess would try to bring the creature home, but he would never wander any further than the forest edge. But she loved him like family and had a feeling he did too.

After the war with Ularekath, she was devastated when she found out both her parents were gone. The last time Rui had dealt with death was years ago, and it was a horrible time for her. With the death of both her parents, she feared that she would return back to her depressing state. She of course, blamed the enemy, burning more with vengeance... But Rui also blames herself for not being there (again unable to protect those she loves). When she found out her beloved elder sister was to wed the crown prince of Ularekath, feelings of shock and betrayal was an understatement. Nevermind her sister's choice, she still didn't see any reason to get along with their life-long enemy. And she doesn't know how she'll react the next time she sees Karl.

Kora - Elder sister: Rui would find comfort talking to her. When she was younger, she loved talking to her about simple, daily happenings. Being the only sister she has, Rui wanted to be a little like her one day- to be poised and graceful. Even if her elder sister fails to see her own abilities, Kora is the perfect queen in her eyes.
Shin - Eldest brother: Rui respects her eldest brother like no tomorrow. Especially after the witch hunters' attack, she's very close to him. She admires his swordsmanship and belief of honour. As they grew older, she saw the change in Shin. The battles had taken a toll on him, and she unfortunately have no idea how to help other than trying to talk to him; just like he did to help her many years ago.

Skills/Abilities:

Piano

Magic(If Any):
None

Personality:
Merliah is best described as an excitable, impulsive, reckless, optimistic, energetic, and short-tempered girl, which is consistent with her normally exaggerated expressions. Due to her great determination, she is always up for a challenge, even if it seems too difficult for her. As Merliah is very social, kind, and truly compassionate, people are often drawn to her happy disposition. She is also very immersed in her own fantasies, and sometimes does not account for other peoples opinions. Though she has little discipline for study and finds it boring, Merliah is very clever. Merliah is very creative and eschews tradition for innovation. However, she does not have a great sense of her own capabilities and her overconfidence contributes to a tendency to look before she leaps. Despite her impulsiveness, ultimately Merliah is a selfless girl who will risk her own self to do what is right.

Bio:
Merliah is the youngest out of her siblings and the only girl. She didn't have a chance to grow up with her mother because she was killed trying to protect Merliah when they were attack. Merliah grew up having been very over protective. Her father didn't want anything like that to happen again and wanted to make sure she was protected. As she grew up she was kept in her room a lot and always had guards around. Which made restless. She had to learn all the proper and noble things a princess was suppose to learn. Even so she could tell that she wasn't able to do more like her brothers. She didn't even know magic. It wasn't just the father that was over protective her brothers were as well. Though her brother Kyros didn't mind breaking a few rules sometimes. When she turned 13 she had finally had enough and demanded she get to leave her room more often. They all agreed but she had to at least have one body guard always at her side. Which she agreed to. Merliah was known as a bit of a trouble maker. Always doing and getting into things shouldn't. She loved reading or having someone read her advanture stories and wish she could go one to. She would listen to her brother Kyros tell her stories about his travels which made her just want to leave and go out into the world even more. Even though she has a body guard around all the time she still gets into trouble usually dragging him along. Though he will manage to stop her. Sometimes she doesn't mean to cause a ruckus. Sometimes it just happens. Right there is a wedding happening and well she isn't thrilled with it considering these were the people who took her mother and she's not sure if she could ever forgive that.

Grudge: (You may leave this blank until there are more characters. This is essentially what a member of the opposite family has done to your character that has made things personal between the two characters)
Bond: (A specific bond, usually an event, that causes the connection between this character and another member of the family to be very close)
Secret: (Something that this character wouldn’t want to tell the rest of the family except maybe for the member that they share a bond with. Maybe to protect them, maybe out of shame)

She often tries not to utilize her own knowledge, as she claims she has no business being involved in wars, however when it is absolutely necessary, she acts accordingly.​

Magic:
-​

Personality:
Kora is a kind-hearted woman, the happiness of others matters most to her, she is quick to forgive and forget and wishes to be on good terms with everyone. She is also an extremely intelligent individual, quick to understand situations and not easily fooled by lies. Kora is a woman of few words, often shy and quiet. Albeit kind and smart, like any other, she has defects; she is not a warrior, she is not strong, she cannot defend herself... all of these traits caused the people of Horokoshi to doubt of her ability of being the ruler of their kingdom... this has led Kora to be emotionally frail, although she tries to hide it, as the future queen, she cannot show weakness... this is indeed her biggest trait, hiding her feelings for the sake of her kingdom and her loved ones.​

Bio:
Being the eldest child of the family was both a blessing and a curse. In the bright side, her mother and her had an unbreakable bond, they were always seen together, conversed about everything... they could not be separated.
This was not always a beneficial thing however, the queen of Horokoshi grew too overprotective of her daughter, to the point of even defying the king's wishes.
The king wished for a strong heir, capable of fighting wars and leading armies, but the fear of losing her precious daughter... the queen could not allow this, she did not allow Kora to partake in any sort of combat training, fearing that she would one day lose her to a cruel bloodbath...

Time can be a wonderful thing, Kora grew to become a beautiful woman, but with age, responsibilities come too.
One day, she was asked to attend a ball in (PLACEHOLDER) in place of her mother, who had a killer headache that day. The event was going well, she would not stray away from her father's side, and would mostly let him do the talking.
However, this was only until her father left her to speak to the ruler of the kingdom...
Right after he left, a high ranked nobleman of Horokoshi, who had been brought along by the king, approached Kora and began to insult her, accusing her of not being worthy of the crown, pointing out her defects, and speaking rudely to her.
Kora did not show any signs of sadness, but in truth, her fragile soul had been broken by his words; she was about to leave, but to her shock and everyone else's, the prince of Ularekath, heir to the throne, stepped up and challenged him to a duel.
The victory of the prince was to be expected, he was known to be one of the best warriors of Ularekath... after defending her so bravely... she could not let him leave without at least thanking him.
It was much to her suprise when he asked her to dance with him, but after what he did for her, she could not refuse, and again to her suprise, the prince danced as well as he fought... his eyes were mesmorizing... everything about him was perfect, his name... Florian. After some glasses of wine, they spent the night the together, talking, laughing, and having fun. They met many times after that special night, and one day, the truth came out, they were madly in love with eatchother.

When the war between the two kingdoms finally broke out, Kora knew she had to something, her mother had recently been murdered by an unknown individual... her beacon of light was gone... but she couldn't give up, she had to do something... all her mother wanted was for her to be happy... and the only way to achieve that was ending the war.
She knew exactly what she had to do.
She endured so many things... but it was all worth it in the end... she ran to Florian's arms... and he, in his own way, proposed.
It was the happiest day of her life.
Their marriage is soon, the war will finally end.

Grudge:
Against Kyros, youngest prince of Ularekath.
He was her mother's murderer. Kora is not one to hold grudges, but killing the person she loved the most was too huge to let go. She does not know his identity yet, but she will soon...

Rei Arashi
Title:
The Blood Tempest
Age:
32
Gender:
Male
Family:
Horokoshi
Relation:
Royal Retainer
Inventory:
Specialized Nodachi: It's made in such a way as to allow Rei to quickly pull and retract his sword without sacrificing range, but at the price of heft.
Skills/Abilities:
Skillful Swordsmanship - He is not a master of the sword by any standard but he still is better than most, he specializes in quick sword draws that allow for decisive, life-ending strikes. It requires a lot of dexterity to pull of correctly, fortunately, Rei only requires to open a wound.
Trainer - He has spent many years teaching in a dojo which has given him many skills advantageous to the training of new recruits into soldiers.
The art of war - From a pairing of experience and learning from a young age he has a knowledge of many war tactics and the ability to adapt them to the situation.
Magic(If Any):
Master control of water magic: He has such control over water that his fighting style focuses around cutting an opponent and using their own blood as a weapon from then on, effectively making it so he only needs to pull out his sword once. He can control any liquid in the range of his sword expertly unless there is something between him and the liquid, such as a wall or a body in most cases.
Personality:
While he seems like a patient person on the outside Rei in reality only keeps quiet and reserved because so he doesn't end up situations too annoying to deal with. Earlier in his life, he used to be a lot more brash to situations and people he found as annoying, but as they say with age comes wisdom. He isn't a bad person though, while he does lack the understanding for basic formalities he is a very loyal to his friends and liege. That along with having to try and become kinder so that his daughter may have an easier childhood, though it has mellowed him.
Bio:
He was born in a family of retainers that has served the royal family for generations. Due to that very reason he was raised to be the best possible retainer to the royalty of the empire. Emotionless, cold and ruthless he would be a sword for the empire to wield towards their enemies without discrimination. And for most of early his life, he matched the expectations. It all changed when he met a certain girl, she wasn't a beauty or incredibly smart, maybe that's why she approached a killer in training, but no she was someone who treated him like a human.

With time love blossomed between the two and for once in his life he was happy, that wasn't to last though. A weapon isn't meant to feel so he was sent to war in order to separate the two, but before he was sent he was promised that if he were to bring the helmets of 250 Ularekathian Knights he would have done enough for emperor so he would be excused of his duties and allowed marry the girl. He then engrossed himself in the war, using the skills he was thaught to. He brought death to the Ularekathian cavalry divisions killing them left or right and even if they weren't knights his bloodlust only managed by his will to return to his beloved. However, a decade later he achieved his purpose rocking to the gates of his family manor with the helmets of 250 Ularekathian as he was promised.

And so due to a pairing of fear and astonishment, he was pardoned from his duties as a retainer and he married the girl who waited for him 10 years. Life was good, he opened a dojo on a remote forest lake near the border with many disciples attracted by his reputation, he was even gifted a child by the gods. Half a decade had passed in blissful peace, but it wasn't too last. During the night a forest fire was spotted, a forest fire so strong only the Ularekathians could have been responsible. He and his disciples managed to make the detachment retreat with effort but by the time he returned to the dojo was on fire, his wife died in the flames and his young daughter suffering permanent scars.

For revenge and his daughter's safety, he pledged his loyalty to the royal family once more coming into their service once more which brings him to this very day.

Grudge: He only knows that the commander behind the assault was of the Ularekathian army.
Bond: The only person he has a bond with is his daughter, he will make sure that she will grow up to be happy even at his expense.

Skills/Abilities

Magic
Air Dashing - Ricardus is able to propel himself 5-10 meters in the blink of an eye. Like a jump, the distance is dependent on his stance and how much strength he puts into the dash.

Air Current Sense - Ricardus is able to sense the change in air current, enabling him to detect disturbances in the air. Though he doesn't rely on this ability during battle as he is unable to sense with his armour. Rather, he uses this while hunting. Where he usually only wears basic gear.

Personality
Ricardus could be compared to a flying bullet. Once he's made a decision, he doesn't stray from his path or let anyone get in his way. War is his way of life and the reason for his existence. He yearns for battle and the blood of his kingdom's enemies. Ruthless and brave, he takes pride in his skills on the battlefield and out in the wild, along with his rugged good looks, it's no wonder he's every woman's dream. He brings his cocky attitude to everything in his life, but he knows when to bite his tongue and back down when facing the royal family and his mother.

Virtues: Loyal | Patriotic | Dauntlessness
Hobbies: Hunting | Camping
Fears: To never die fighting for his country, like his predecessors

Biography
For generations, the sons of the Kron family served as knights for the royal family and Ricardus was no exception. He was born and raised for the sole purpose of fighting for his kingdom, and dying honourably for his kingdom. His world revolved around training, war, and his family. With the family's loyalty and reputation, they are one of the families the royals trust and rewards handsomely. His family home was just outside the castle and was heavily protected. Ricardus grew up with Bryce, though they are not related by blood, he cares for him like a brother he never had.

Like a perfect knight, he rarely questions orders he gets from the royal family. Others call him a war machine because of this. Well, they aren't wrong. Since he was sent out to the war, his head count exceeded his peers and quickly rose in ranks to stand next to his proud father. He was known as the whirlwind on battle grounds, as his fighting style mimics one. Swinging his broadsword expertly and swiftly, cutting down enemies all around, like a 'vortex', many get caught up in his path and are defeated. Ricardus couldn't fight by his father's side for long, he died in battle against Horokoshi. Even with his family's motto instilled into him, Ricardus can't help but to hate his killer. What son wouldn't, right? Ricardus was devastated when he found his king ended the war because he's with a Horokoshi woman. It was too coincidental, and he strongly thinks that the princess had brainwashed Florian somehow. His way of life ended too soon, but he managed to get a job along the border between the two kingdoms. At least there he could still fight for his kingdom than being a bodyguard with no threat to fight.

Relationships

Bond: [PLACEHOLDER] and Ricardus grew up together, they trained and fought side by side. He is the one man he trusts with his life.

Bryce can form flames both in his hands and on his blade. When in his hands, he can launch small balls of flame, while on his sword, they burn hotter, being able to cut through iron if he puts enough effort into it.

Personality: (+1 Paragragh)
Bryce is a bastard, and he knows this. He stopped caring what other people thought about him w long time ago, and he shows this in how he acts. He's cocky, laid back, and doesn't take many things seriously. He hates his father for forcing him to abide by his family line. He values personal freedom above all else, and thinks everyone should be able to cast away the chains of their status or family name to carve their own path in life. Which sucks for him because he wants to do both of these things, but can't.

Bio: (+2 Paragraph)
Bryce was born the bastard of the King of Ularekath, growing up in a small village just outside the capital. His mother died in childbirth, and he was sent to the local orphange where he was tortured and bullied for his heritage as a bastard. He was always a fighter, fighting his attackers off with ferocity unseen by most. It was this time that his magical abilities began to manifest, and he burned the orphanage to the ground in panic. His biological father soon arrived, legitimizing and adopting the boy. Bryce was furious with his father. He was to be a knight, and bravely serve Ularekath as a member of the royal family. He hated being a bastard, and his step-mother made it known that he wasn't welcome. The only comfort he had was his siblings. Well, half-siblings. He was always close to Walter, as they shared the same light-hearted demeanor and we're both trained as knights. He was soon Knighted and sent to war, and he saw his closest sibling die before his very eyes. Saw him stabbed through the guy by the eldest son of Horokoshi. He was even more bitter after this, as his mother blamed him for Walter's death.

The only thing that brought him peace after Walter's death was the death of his step-mother, finally giving him some semblance of harmony. He began to grow close with his comrades, especially Ricard, and they're complete and utter bros now. He's still bitter about the war, and was never that close to Florian, so he feels no good will towards Horokoshi. In fact, he hates Shin like no other, and would kill him if he could.

Shin killed Walter, the sibling Bryce was closest toz and despises him.

Relationships:
Florian:
He was never close to Florian. In fact, he always hated Florian for being the golden son, free of blame or wrong doing.

Merliah:
He's never been close to Merliah, but deeply cares for her. She has an innocence and optomism he wish he still had.

Bryce feels unbelievably guilty for Walter's death, so he stays away from Karl.
