Name: Adrian Mason
Age: 19
What your city/town is like: Ashlind is a small settlement, with an equally small garrison of troops. It produces just enough grain to support itself, and despite not being exorbitantly wealthy, the standard of living for the citizens of Ashlind is high. Almost everyone within the town limits is part of a comfortable middle class, and the families that reside there have done so for generations, in harmony with each other. Life in Ashlind is comfortable because in the eyes of the rest of Ardin, it is entirely meaningless... aside from the fact that it is the only geographical obstacle in between Verria and Vanir.
This fact threatens to disrupt the happy existence of Ashlind and its people. If Verria and Vanir were to go to war against each other, Ashlind would most likely be destroyed and claimed as a strategic post by one of the armies. And so, Ashlind finds itself in a difficult position; if they favor Verria too heavily, it might anger the governing forces of Vanir, to the east, and if they ally with Vanir, the same could be said for Verria's forces to the west. So, the leaders in Ashlind have came to the conclusion that the only way to continue to survive and thrive is to ensure that a lasting peace is brokered between the two cities.
And that leaves us with the reason why the village leaders son was sent to Verria. He is not there to win, but rather to make sure Vanir's candidate doesn't lose.
Appearance: Adrian is 5'11 and lithe, with a close cropped head of blonde hair. His eyes are a light blue, matching a clear sky perfectly.
Personality: Adrian is soft spoken and generally shy, preferring the woodlands and the animals within it to a large city. As the son of an (albeit low ranking) noble, he is well schooled in many subjects, and because of that he is quite intelligent and knowledgeable.
Other: Adrian is an able hunter, and would much rather utilize a bow or ranged weapon before a sword. Also, he loves music, and his first love will always be a beautiful melody or ballad. He is well aware of his duty to his loved ones and his village, and knows that he should be entirely focused on aiding Vanir's suitor in winning the competition. However, there is one problem...
Adrian has been in love with Giselle ever since he first saw her, years ago while attending a diplomatic ceremony with his father.
