The Devil's Throne - Character Sheets​

OOC Thread || IC Thread
​

An alternative reality to ours... In the 18th century, the King and Queen reside in a palace situated in East Anglia, England. Strict and old-fashioned, it's difficult to believe the way the world moves around them. However, with the power to change anything in the country the moment they wish, they are the most powerful people in England. Employing many, including guards, servants and advisers, the family holds a great level of secrecy within the walls. Anyone found to break the vow of secrecy or many other rules, could find themselves put to death without trial.

The King and Queen have three sons and three daughters. The eldest Prince, and heir to the throne, is a handsome young man, though cold and heartless by nature. He is due to marry the daughter of the highest judge in England. Many, including his own siblings, fear what will happen when the cruel prince eventually becomes king.

Recently, things in the castle have been gradually becoming more unsettled than usual, following the execution of a young servant a week earlier. Tortured before been hung, she was accused of being evil and trying to corrupt the youngest princess, simply because she was of a poorer class.​

  Personality:
  Christopher is a very serious man who rarely laughs at jokes. He has a sharp tongue and isn't afraid to speak his mind, even when he knows his words will cause upset. Most people fear him, through the way he carries himself and his ability to deliver terrible punishments. He is an extreme perfectionist and neat freak, so can be very irritable if things are out of place. He is strict with his staff and just as controlling over his siblings. Deep down he cares about his family's safety and often acts to protect them, even if he goes about it the wrong way, in their eyes. He resents the kinder upbringing his siblings have had and is still tortured by the pain he endured growing up. Not many people, including his siblings, know the truth about how the king treated Christopher and he is committed to protecting that secret. He can be paranoid, jealous and quite ill-tempered at times.
  
  Christopher finds enjoyment in music and can often be found playing an instrument or sometimes observing his sister's piano lessons. He spends a lot of time indoors, enjoying the beauty of the palace and the glorious architecture. He also loves the castle gardens and has a surprising respect for the main gardener, a now ageing man who had been around long before the eldest prince was even born. Christopher doesn't have many friends in the palace, but he isn't averse to conversing with those he deems worthy, loyal and hardworking.

  History:
  Christopher was the first of the royal children to be born, which meant from day one the heir to the throne was to be primed to become king. As a child, he wanted for nothing, with various nannies tending to his every need. He was privately tutored in a wide range of subjects, including music, languages, combat and history. The main thing he lacked during his childhood was the love and warmth of his parents themselves. They were more detached to the eldest son, hoping to raise a man who would grow to become a strong and fearless king.
  
  He adored his siblings when he was younger, especially as spending time with them was his only escape from his excessive duties and education. He tries to ignore those memories, the ones where he played, had fun and was happy, now deeming the associated feelings as a weakness. As a boy, he was frequently told he was weak and inept by his father. Whilst he was being punished and tortured by his own father, in the name of making him a strong man, he knew everyone else was getting the best of the king. Although the king was known to oversee harsh punishments to proven criminals, his other five children and most people within the castle knew their king to be a good and kind ruler.
  
  By his mid-teens, Christopher had learned that if he were to be a successful king, he would have to do as he was instructed by shutting out his emotions and focusing harder on his duties. Regardless, nothing could stop him from feeling bitter and jealous of how much easier his siblings had it, so he gradually stopped having fun with them. He decided he had to sacrifice his own happiness for now and patiently wait until he did become king, when he could then take back all of the pleasure and whatever else he felt was owed to him.
  
  One of the most defining moments leading to him becoming the cold and calculating man he is now was the loss of Catherine, back when he was eighteen. She was a young French-speaking woman who was tasked with tutoring him in the language. After many lessons, she had seen through his chilly exterior and became one of the very few people he could truly express himself with. Despite trying to cut such feelings out of his character, Christopher found himself falling for his tutor. Their secret relationship barely lasted a month before the truth found its way back to the king. and she was hanged for treason. Christopher was severely punished for apparently betraying the country's wishes by cavorting with a woman other than the one his parents would eventually choose to be his wife. After that, he learned he would have to cut out his heart if he were to survive his father long enough to become king.
  
  Over the last few years, Christopher has proven himself to his father and become the strong man he was intended to be. As the king grows tired and weary, he is giving the eldest prince more power and decision-making on his behalf. Although the king has disagreed with some of the crueller punishments, he had no choice but to accept this is the future king he created. Given the growing political tensions with their neighbouring countries, he wants to know the country has a decisive leader in Christopher, should the country go to war. When word reached the king that the youngest princess had developed a close friendship with a servant who others had often accused of being a promiscuous atheist, she was tortured into confessing her corruption. The servant never confessed and Christopher subsequently ordered her execution. He knew deep down he believed she was honest, but Catherine had also been honest and she was hanged simply for being close to him.
  
  Christopher is now engaged to be married to his betrothed, Rosalind, who was chosen by his parents. He finds her physically attractive and there are benefits to the way she can often soften the blow of his more cutting nature when dealing with those beneath him. Still, he believes she (as well as he) would benefit from controlling her behaviour and learning her place as his wife.
  
  
  
• 
  King Robert Ravenswood: Christopher despises his father and has secretly wished the man dead for half of his life. After years of torture and abuse, he doesn't see how he could think otherwise of the terrible man. In front of almost everyone, Christopher will put on an act, speaking positively of the king and being civil to the man when in public. Around his siblings, Christopher at times lets his guard down and is known to make the odd remark or allow his mask to slip to show his contempt for their father. Knowing he is the future king, Christopher will follow his father's orders and keep his dissent to himself, all to ensure the kingdom sees a united family. One day he knows the old man will die and that's what keeps him going.
  
  Queen Krista Ravenswood: He has a complicated relationship with his mother. Despite his cold and blunt nature, there is a part of him that does want someone to show him they care and so far she is one of the few people who makes an attempt to. It's for that reason that he won't hear anyone speak ill of the woman and if it came down to it, he would defend her. On the flip side, there's a resentment towards her for allowing Robert to torture him and at times he unfortunately shows his unpleasant side to his mother too. Christopher is simply unpredictable when it comes to the queen.
  
  Rosalind Langston: Christopher feels like eyes are always on him when he's with his fiancee. This means he tends to have his guard up when around her, never really stopping to think of whether he could grow to have feelings for her, or whether he should allow it at all. He finds her physically attractive and there are benefits to the way she can often soften the blow of his more cutting nature when dealing with those beneath him. Still, he believes she (as well as he) would benefit from controlling her behaviour and learning her place as his wife. He's overheard talk that a wife could tame him and have a positive effect on his nature, but that makes him all the more determined to shut off any emotions.
  
  Jocelyn Ravenswood: Like Christopher, the eldest princess can be cold and dismissive of others. Sometimes, this works in their favour and the prince likes that he's not the only one with a harsh temperament. At other times, the siblings can grate on each other and end up being rude to each other. He often wonders how much of his childhood she knows about - if she realises how twisted their father can be towards him.
  
  Margaret Ravenswood: Maggie can be patient and civil towards Christopher, so he tends to respond to her in the same manner. He takes an interest in her day, her ideas and aspirations, if she will share them with him. Though he's not the kind of person to ask again if she did brush him off. All in all, he generally gets along with Maggie, even if he isn't about to open up to her about his deepest feelings and his past suffering.
  
  Romeo Ravenswood: Although Romeo seems quite laid back and unaffected by the responsibilities of being a prince, it seems to work well. Christopher sees his youngest brother as something of a mediator. At times, it irritates him that he won't commit to a side, but at other times he sees the benefit in being that way. Whilst others are guided by their emotions and dislike Christopher for it, Romeo seems to react more objectively.
  
  Elena Ravenswood: Christopher knows Elena is disgusted with him and he understands why. He didn't want to have her servant friend, Grace, killed but after the king had instigated the whole torturous interrogation and left the decision to him, Christopher knew the damage was already done and had little choice but to order the execution. Admittedly, his own bitterness about Catherine's death helped sway his decision. He cares about his youngest sister, no matter how ill her feelings towards him. Whether she likes it or not, it's up to him to ensure her safety and he will continue to do so.
  
  
  
  Alexander Krow: Christopher is civil with the Master of Security and respects the man for his loyalty and to the kingdom. It's just a shame the man has to be loyal to the king. Still, he is content to have normal conversations with the man and refrains from making any cutting remarks towards him. He really hasn't found much reason to be act otherwise.
  
  Arabella McCallister: So far, Arabella has done a good enough job at organising his appointments and ensuring he's presentable for events. When things run smoothly, he's quite civil towards her, but if anything isn't done to his standard then he can be quite critical and dismissive. If his belongings are disturbed, she can be sure the prince will pull her up on it!
  
  Edward Grey: Christopher is quite tolerant of Edward as he seems quite serious and level, rather than overly friendly or super jolly. He favours those who come across as focused and not guided by emotions. Still, he can't help but get quite a few digs in about Edward's mother, even if he does know his own father and Edward's mother are the only ones to blame.
  
  Maxwell Tanner: So far, Maxwell has barely registered with Christopher and so he has a general indifference towards him. The younger man is a good farmer and hunter, as well as generally grooming his favourite horse to an acceptable standard. The prince also finds him to be polite and courteous, clearly knowing his place. Other than that, why would he need to care about an ineffectual person?
  
  
  

 

[ElectricDandellion]

Name: Elena Katrina Ravenswood
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Role: Princess 3 (the youngest)
Skills:
-Fencing
-French speaking
-Horseback riding
-Poetry writing
-Sharp tongue (argumentative)
-Going unnoticed when needs be
-Rapid reading of literature
-Dancing (at the balls)



Personality:
Elena is most likely the most laid back of all her siblings, simply because she has no real responsibility unlike the rest of her sisters and brothers, who are doomed to be bethrothed and married off for the sake of social class. She is particularly care free, but can be very irritable and sharp if needs be, for instance, when her siblings get in her way. Despite loving them, she’d rather give them a piece of her mind, especially when they belittle her because of her age, when she is well aware of what is happening around them. Elena knows a lot more than she lets off or allows anyone else to know.

Her fiery temper is one to be reckoned with, although it doesn’t always show. Her saltiness and sarcastic nature can always fire a few spiteful and sharp remarks when necessary. Although fearful of her eldest brother, she is envious of the power and control he has over the family and the kingdom. She is also jealous of the responsibility he holds, whilst her parents cling to remain onto her own childhood. But within the next few years, they will accept her age, and Elena feels it extremely likely that she too will soon be married off.

Being the youngest, although beneficial with her parents slightly spoiling her, also means that she is too immature to be consulted in family issues, although allowed to sit in and listen, her input isn’t really required or considered. It should be considering her intellectual ability and soaring grades through homeschooling.

Despite her flaws, she continues to be a gentle and caring sibling to her family, and would destroy anyone who tried to hurt her family or had malicious intentions. She is kindhearted and always means to do the best for the majority. Elena is disgusted at the alienation of the maids and the poor, doing her best to treat them well and critiquing family for treating them badly.

Fears:
-Being forced into a loveless marriage
-Her brother’s future reign
-Spiders
-One of her siblings leaving a candle on in the library and burning it down

Likes:
-Her family
-Nature and all that it holds
-Rain
-Reading
-Being involved in serious matters
-Parties
-Writing letters
-Horses

Dislikes:
-Forced arrangements
-Cruel people
-Constant cleaning
-Ugly dresses
-The segregation between the maids and the royals
-Her eldest brother (for ordering the execution of a loved friend)

History:
Elena was born last of her siblings, which leaves her with nothing to aim for. She aims to turn the tables, marry with her own choice and become a great leader in another kingdom, whether far away or close by. As a young girl, she adored her siblings, always having others to play with and others to teach her new skills- her favourites being taught from her brothers over years, such as fighting, sword skills, archery and wood carving. The boys hobbies she much preferred over the girls’, and, unlike her sisters, she enjoys being outside fighting with her brothers rather than baking, sewing or art making inside the kingdom. For this, she was criticised by close relatives and family friends for not being lady like, but has always been unfazed by the criticisms and continued what she loved to do.

Education has always been and always will be important to Elena. Growing up with a successful and continuous education allowed for a stability in her life, something that she could aim for. If she could aim for a good education, she would always find things to interest her and to understand. She found herself with something to aim for too, though not necessarily as important as everyone else’s, yet it grew very important to her to be at one with herself and her education. Focusing closely on English literature, biology, French and ethics allowed her to become much more comfortable in her own home, and came to a great benefit at parties and such to engage in intriguing and structural conversation.

Slowly growing up and into a woman had been tough for the youngest child knowing the responsibility she’ll soon have to face, with the expectancy of baring children later on in life becoming a fearful thought and likely to be married into an unknown kingdom, perhaps even into a dangerous one made her become fearful. Concentrating on the typically male hobbies helped her avoid ‘potential suitors’ even though she would be yet to wait a while.

Due to being obsessed with her poetry from a young age, Elena has been undeniably obsessed with the idea of love, and has been excited to experience it when it comes her way, and has been excited for her siblings to be able to experienve what the poetry had described so lightly and so gratefully. Perhaps another aim for her life.

In the latest stage of her life, with her best friend slaughtered by her brother, Elena has grown distrustful of her siblings, and disgusted with her brother. She has refused to speak to him civilly, and still refuses to acknowledge his reasoning behind the order. In spite, she manages to spill paints and such in his room, knowing he will explode to see something not in order, like his own actions.

  Personality:
  To just about everyone, Robert presents himself as a kind and merciful king. All of his children, except for Christopher, grew up with a firm but fair father who allowed them to see his good side but wasn't afraid to be strict when called for.
  
  In reality, the Queen and Christopher know him the most. They know of the dark and cruel side to the king. A man who tortured his eldest son in the name of making him a fearless heir. A man who was able to have a young woman killed simply for getting close to Christopher, then easily have the execution celebrated by having everyone believe the woman was dangerous and had committed treason. As he grows older and hands more responsibility to Christopher, Robert gradually becomes more of a puppeteer, letting his son take the brunt of any dissent within the palace.

Alexander Rotinya Krow

If they stand behind you, protect them. If they stand beside you, respect them. If they Stand against you, defeat them. Unknown

Name: Alexander Rotinya (Roe-Tin-ya) Krow
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Role: Master of security
Skills: swordsmanship, basic first aid, horseback riding, archery, advanced writing and encoding/decoding of messages, map making, very strong leadership skills, strategy planning, and great hand-to-hand combat skills
Likes: Horseback riding, animals, training new guards, reading, flowers, gardening, playing the violin, practicing hand to hand and sword combat, Feeding birds/ other small wildlife
Dislikes: Treason, anyone who disrespected the royal family (especially the king), people who don't know/understand their place, Uncleanliness, Anyone who's disobedient or insubordinate, People who complain a lot, Thunderstorms, Needles

Personality: Alexander is a very alert and observant man. Always keeping an eye on the guards and any people that roam the castle. He's very loyal to the royal family, and even more so to the king. Alexander is very trusting and confident in the king's commands, never questioning the orders that are given to him. Alexander can be seen as a very charming and compassionate man, but under the orders of the king he is fearless and is not afraid to show that he can also be very blunt, aggressive, and cold-hearted. He's very athletic and brave, working hard day and night to get the job done. He has strong leadership skills and is a patient and reliable person.
Fears: Failing, Treason, Needles, Being Abandoned, Losing his sight/hearing/voice, becoming deadly sick
Extra: He's a bit of a clean freak and hates when things are out of order or dirty, he tends to hold these high standards to not only himself but to the rest of the guards as well.

HistoryAlexander grew up knowing nothing more than his sworn purpose in life., That one day be would join the royal guard and swear his life to the king. His father was one of the top guards of the royal family and his mother was a maid that cooked and clean for them on a day to day basis. His father began teaching Alexander the basics of being a royal guard when he was very young. Training him as if he were a new recruit. It was rough and Alexander could remember the many bruises and scrapes his father had given him when they were training, but it was all worth it.

Once Alexander turned fourteen he became an apprentice under his father, going with him on every mission to learn as much as he could. With every bit of experience Alexander received, he yearned more and more to be not a good, but the best damn royal guard he could be. Though many of the missions Alexander went on were simple tasks, checking in with guards, standing watch at night, meeting up with the occasional scouting groups that left the walls of the castle, but there were a few missions that brought some fear to Alexander's heart. Some that were rougher on his mind and body and kept him up late at night. It was those missions that made Alexander learn how important being a royal guard was, and how difficult it could really be. It was on one of those missions that his father lost his life, and Alexander put his own life on the line to protect the king.

Alexander was sixteen at the time when the royal family was attacked by some unknown assassins. After his father was shot down, Alexander had taken what should have been a death-blow and yet continued to fight against the attackers for the revenge of his father and to protect the royal family. Alexander was closer to death than he had ever been. As soon ass the remaining assailants were rid off, Alexander fell, bleeding out from his wounds. He was sure he was gonna die, but with the help of the royal family's doctors, Alexander was patched up and given much time to rest and heal.

As soon as Alexander was able to stand again he was made an official a guard of the royal family, and that's where he's been since then. Over the years, Alexander has shown his passion and dedication to the royal family, and he slowly made his way up the ranks of the guards. It took many years, but after lots of hard work and proving his loyalty and commitment to protecting and serving the royal family, he made his way to where he is now, at the top of the chain as the master of security.

• 
  Rosalind or known as Rose by close friends and family, is a woman who was never meant to be tied down. As a young child, her family went through many nannies and care takers as young Rose was too much energy to handle and often got the nannies into a heap of trouble for the things she did. She was rambunctious and loud, not wanting to learn manners and how to curtsy and what to say to someone at a fancy party. She wanted to run outside, get her dress dirty in the mud and be like the other kids she often saw exercising their freedom to live. Eventually, her family reined her back in and the girl began to take her role in the world seriously. Now as a woman, she still often expresses her free spirit and will to follow her own path through more diplomatic and proper ways. Her tongue is sharp and quick like a whip, never one for stopping mid sentence when she feels she needs to speak her mind. Fear often makes the matters worse, she often spews out whatever she is thinking right then and there and there is no way to stop it, this gets her in trouble a lot. She has a hard time budging when things aren't going to go the way she wanted them to, stubborn as a mule, she holds her ground as if she buried and cemented her feet to the earth. When she isn't having to stick to an agenda, which she hates, she is seen wandering around in the most improper of ways, often without any shoes. She feels as though she is a bird at times, stuck in a cage having to sing for whoever commands her to. Rose will make an excellent queen however, she is the face that her new fiancé can't be. Gently and kind, she offers warmth to whomever is kind to her. In the face of serious matters, Rose is as strong and as steady as a tree, never wavering and most of the time never breaking. When she is with close friends, she loves to laugh and have fun, enjoying a few drinks or two.

  History:
  Rosalind Langston was born to Harold Langston and Clementine Langston on a rather fussy night in the middle of December, Christmas Eve to be exact. The night reflected what the child would be like, well not fussy but just rambunctious. As a little girl, she wasn't the one to follow direction or stay still. She wasn't a terrible child, sweet as could be and well mannered when she wanted to be. She had built quite the track record of nannies, having replaced at least 12 of them before her parents were able to find the perfect one for her, one who could keep up with the girl who was always running while others walked. Dresses and the likes weren't her style and she tended to ruin a lot of them in her little adventures. It was only when her mother fell ill around the age of 15 did the young girl begin to take her role in the world seriously. It was hard living in the Langston household, her mother had caught an illness that she still continues to fight. The home was never the same. Her father had little patience for Rose's antics and became stricter. She wasn't allowed to play with the other children around her home, the servants children who lived on the estate with them. She wasn't allowed to skip her lessons any longer, her father had described what her life was. Nothing more than being a wife, someone to keep up the family image, a family maker. Rosalind had accepted it from then on, living the life she was being forced to live. She felt defeated, and like perhaps her mother's illness had something to do with her, as if she was a disappointment. She didn't want to hurt her mother any more than she was. Though she was never the same around her father, often dodging him and continuing to do as he wished, she couldn't grow to hate him.
  
  Rosalind grew up to be a very elegant Lady, the lessons and pressure to grow up paid off for the Langston family. Rosalind had never been aware of what she was being groomed for exactly, never really understood why it was so dire of her to become a proper lady. She had honestly thought she would have more freedom in whom she chose to marry and she certainly didn't think she would be marrying royalty. The day the King and Queen announced that Rose was to marry Christopher, it was a shock to the young woman. The cruel prince she had heard about the one who was to rule over them very soon was also going to be her future husband. Rosalind felt betrayed by her parents, disgusted that they would allow such a thing. The woman changed her perspective on the life she was living and simple chose to fight against it. She isn't unreasonable and is willing to work with this arrangement, however Christopher makes it hard to compromise. Rosalind tries hard to not fear the man, trying to find the good in him, often she is left disappointed. Rosalind is persistent however and no matter how many times the man may insult her or otherwise, she will not stop until he breaks and gives her a proper chance.

They owned a massive amount of land and she grew up in a big house with a lot of farm animals; chickens, cows, sheep, alpaca, roosters, dogs, cats, owls, horses etc. Her parents worked on the farm for a living, supplying the town with a bulk of it's supplies. They were well-known among the townsfolk as being kind people, often making bargains with other townsfolk for their products; three baskets of apples for a basket of cheese here and there. Soon enough, the farm had fallen on hard times when her mother fell ill. The doctors said without treatment her mother didn't have long to live. The medicinal treatment was expensive and her father could barely tend to the farm on his own so Arabella went above and beyond her daily chores. This only served to frustrate the family as they all wanted to see her leave and travel and do amazing things.
Being in her prime, Arabella decided she'd help out her family the best way she could by going to work. She applied for an advising job at the East Anglia Castle against her mother's wishes. Her mother knew of the prince's cold demeanor and wickedness and begged her daughter to take a different job, but Arabella knew they didn't need just any other job, they needed this job. This job would pay for her mother's medical treatments, this job would pay for the farm. So Arabella applied and was accepted.
She started her training when she was 19 under a head mistress. Her tasks were anything and everything in between. She kept track of all the prince's appointments, made sure he was dressed and ready for his events, and catered to his every whim under the supervision of the head mistress. Now, the head mistress tends to other duties and for the first time, Arabella must do her adviser chores without the watchful guidance of the head mistress. When the prince is away, she cleans and tidies his room, careful to not disturb his personal belongings.
Extra: Arabella has a horse named Zeus and a Great Pyrenees herd dog named Jasmine stabled at the castle for her own personal enjoyment and use. These two animals she picked out when she was young and rarely goes anywhere without them, but the castle forbids the presence of her dog and horse inside, for obvious reasons, so they allowed her animals to sleep and in live in the barn out back. Her morning routine is waking up at 6 AM, riding Zeus, getting breakfast, and then mapping out the course of events for the day.

Age:

Gender:
Female
Appearance:

Role:
Queen

Skills:
Archery
Floral Arrangements
Singing
Chess
Bilingual (French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, English, German, Russian)
Persuasive

Personality:
Krista has two different sides to her. One that she shows when her husband is around and one when she's not around him. When Robert is around, she's quiet and compliant. Years ago she learned to back him up in public and to reprimand him in private. Though, when they are in private she watches what she says. She's found him to be very cruel. Sometimes she will speak everything on her mind and others she'll keep quiet. When he's not, she presents all the qualities of herself that she wishes she could around her husband. Her opinions are voiced quite proudly and she doesn't always take no as an answer. Towards her children, she's always been very kind and loving. She wants the best for each and every one of them, teaching them things she believes will propel them in life.

When it comes to her eldest son, however, her personality changes. She's sweeter and kinder to him, more protective. Mostly to make up for all the time she wasn't there when he needed her to be. She's always wanted to be someone her kids could come to when they needed her, trying not to judge them of their actions. Lately, her mind has been growing tired having to deal with Robert and her malicious son. She's grown distant and has seemed to lost her happy nature that she used to have.

Fears:
Losing her family
Getting killed
Her son

Likes:
Floral arrangements
Sunsets
Dancing
Reading
Getting her way

Dislikes:
Her husband (sometimes)
Liars
Schemers
Puking
Crying
History:
Krista's life wasn't always this crazy.

In fact, she had imagined her life a lot differently. Marrying Robert was never in her plan, considering she had no interest whatsoever in being queen. But, being the daughter of a high ranking Council member sealed her fate to him. It wasn't the worst thing she had to endure. That wouldn't occur for years to come.

The happiness she experienced from the birth of her first child, her first son, was short lived. Her husband had an heir and he believed that he needed to be groomed from the day he was born. When he cried, she wasn't allowed to comfort him but instead had to listen and wait for him to cry it out. It broke her heart when he began to walk and talk, him never really getting much of a childhood. When she had more children, she only hoped that they would be able to do what she couldn't; be there for him.

Even though she watched her husband abuse him, she comforted him the best she could behind closed doors. She doesn't blame him if he hated her, letting her other children make up for her failure. However, she's beginning to see the consequences of not speaking up and taking a stand on what she believed in.

Age:
23
Gender:
Appearance:

Role:
Princess 1

Skills:
Bilingual (French, English, Russian, Spanish)
Painting
Horseback Riding
Archery
Sword-Fighting


Personality:
Jocelyn is the definition of an ice princess. Not only does she have bad circulation making her touch cold, but so is her attitude. If you weren't her brothers or sisters, she was likely to give you the cold shoulder and probably wouldn't let you bother her. She's always snarky, even around her parents and will always be snarky no matter the situation. The girl is a no nonsense type of person and if it doesn't have anything to do with something she's interested in, she'll dismiss them. It makes her really hard to befriend but once you get used to it and get used to her then you'll understand why she acts that way.

Sometimes you can catch the nicer side of her when her siblings are around. The girl lives for her younger siblings and would rather them not see that side of her. She would die for them, even her eldest brother. It shows her loyalty and how much she believes that blood is thicker than water. She also tends to hold grudges against people that last for a very long time. Usually it'll last until she forgets about it, but it's very rare that she ever will.

Fears:
Spiders
Outsiders
Tears

Likes:
Archery
Alcohol
Dancing
Spending time with her siblings
Eating

Dislikes:
Men
Cheats
Chores
Running
Strangers

History:
Jocelyn's birth made Krista very happy. She had finally had a daughter and someone who could comfort and be there for Christopher. Growing up with him kind of sucked, but at the same time she understood a lot of it. She was always jealous of how much attention his mother paid to him when they were growing up but as she got older, she kind of figured it was because he was going to be king someday and would need a different type of grooming. Never would she think that it was because of how her father had treated him. But, this also lead her to be a bit distant at times and cold.

Her upbringing was just as strict, having to take classes and learn different skills each for a different reason. If she was going to get a husband, she would need to have skills that attracted the different kinds. Joce hated this but went along with it anyway, her natural sense of duty taking over every time. Her life was great until the day she was taken advantage of by one of the men at court. He forced himself on her and when she threatened to tell, he threatened her family. She takes her family very serious and from that point kept it to herself. Even though it happened nearly 7 years ago, it destroyed her trust in strangers and men.

Although he knows he shouldn't, he likes to speak to the royal children whenever the opportunity arises. He finds it difficult to respect the distinction between master and servant, wishing everyone could simply treat each other equally. He sees many injustices around the palace and wishes he had a voice that could be heard.
  
  With his fellow servants, Maxwell is fun, friendly and pretty laid back. He enjoys getting drunk despite hating the hangovers. Maxwell is perhaps born before his time, often feeling suffocated by the conservative and judgemental attitudes.

  History:
  Maxwell was born on in the royal stables and has barely ever left the palace since. His father was a farmer, tending to the animals on the farm on the edge of the palace grounds. His mother was a maid, whose duty it was to serve the meals and wash the clothes of the family. Maxwell remembers very little of his mother, for he was only a toddler when she died giving birth to his younger sister, Amelia. His father did his best to care for the children whilst still working on the farm and overcoming his grief. Maxwell believed his father did the best job at raising him and it was always bonus that the other servants grew found of the two children too.
  
  Maxwell learned his farming and hunting skills from his father. It wasn't until he was 14 that he also developed an interest in the horses and would help out one of the stable boys, Elroy, learning as much as he could from him. As the years went on, Maxwell had a couple of relationships with female maids. After they had ended, he realised he was attracted to his friend, Elroy. It wasn't until he was 16 that he told his friend how he felt. Although the two shared a kiss, Elroy announced the following day that he was leaving to return home to his family. Maxwell believed he had scared his friend away, not because Elroy didn't like him but because he feared what would happen if anyone found out about them. Maxwell managed to pick himself back up and was soon back to flirting with the maids and other female servants. Despite only having relationships with women, so far, he knows he is attracted to men in the same way and that it's a part of him he can't just shut away.
  
  Maxwell's father died from illness two years ago, leaving his son to take over the farming duties whilst also managing to tend to the horses when needed. He's very close to Amelia and shares everything with her, knowing his sister would never betray him or tell of his secret. As Prince Christopher grows more powerful, Maxwell grows more fearful of what may become of both himself and the kingdom. He has always been loyal to the royal family, but he struggles to ignore the cruelty he has witnessed with his own eyes.
  
  
  
• 
  King Robert Ravenswood: Maxwell would never speak ill of the king and always works hard to please him. Regardless, he is intimidated by him and knowing how conservative the man is, he fears what would happen if he took a step out of line. More accurately, he fears what would happen if he got too close to the princes or princess, as well as if the king ever found out he'd once kissed another man.
  
  Queen Krista Ravenswood: Maxwell is much more relaxed around the queen. He sees a gracious and kind woman. He carries out any duties for her because he wants to, not because he has to.
  
  Christopher Ravenswood: Maxwell remembers a little of the eldest prince when he was still a child and he recalls seeing him happy. But then there seemed to be a rapid change in Christopher which brought a much darker side. Maxwell always tried to be open-minded about the heir, but then his good friend Grace was executed for supposedly corrupting Elena. Now he fears what could happen himself if he upsets the prince, so he tries to go by unnoticed by the man.
  
  Jocelyn Ravenswood: Maxwell tries not to get too close to the eldest princess, having heard she can be cold. However, she likes riding her horse and he always wants to talk about that with her, but he won't do so unless she starts the conversation.
  
  Romeo Ravenswood: Maxwell believes Romeo to be a kind and friendly prince. Like the other royal siblings, he's afraid to start conversation with him in case it's deemed as improper.
  
  Margaret Ravenswood: Maxwell has recently started speaking with Maggie as he's helped her with training her horse. Following Grace's execution, he's still a little hesitant of seeming too friendly with the princess. Still, he feels relatively comfortable in her presence.
  
  Elena Ravenswood: As Grace was one of his close friends, Maxwell also spoke with Elena a little in the past. That changed when the poor servant was executed and now he feels like he shouldn't be seen around the youngest princess too often in case he gets in trouble for it.
  
  Rosalind Langston: Maxwell acts very formally around Rosalind, especially if Christopher is also present. He does feel concerned for her as she has to marry the dark-spirited prince. He would never be so bold as to approach her, even though she seems kind to the servants. Still, if she approached him he would be ever so kind to her.
  
  Alexander Krow: Due to the man's high position and the fact he works closely with the king, Maxwell treats Alexander like one of his direct superiors - even as far as to address him as "Sir". Sometimes he sees the man feeding the wildlife and often feels the urge to talk to him about the birds, but then he figures the man is too busy for that so pushes the idea aside.
  
  Arabella McCallister: Maxwell likes talking to Arabella, when he does get around to seeing her. He often takes care of her horse and dog, especially if she's too busy working for Christopher to be able to get out to her animals in time.
  
  Edward Grey: Maxwell isn't sure what to make of Edward, so he simply settles for being friendly and approachable. Having said that, he gets the feeling Edward wishes to climb the social ladder so wouldn't be too concerned with wanting to approach someone as unimportant as him anyway.

• 
  Maggie is probably the quietest sister, often rather listening than speaking when stumbling into conversation. When she does speak however, she is very soft spoken. Maggie is kind to everyone she comes across not taking on the same traits as many of her other siblings. She enjoys the company of the servants and often tries to interact with them when she can. However after the incident that her brother had so radically reacted to and another servant was killed, she had to force herself to once again blend into the background. She doesn't like to be the center of attention, often trailing behind her siblings at events and social gatherings. She doesn't enjoy a lot of noise so she is often trying to stay around the quieter parts of gatherings if she is forced to attend, which happens a lot more than she would like. Maggie isn't a push over but she sees her place in the family and simply lets it be. She is a woman and she understands her part as one, not fighting back against her family like some of her siblings might. She isn't a conservative but she isn't liberal. Being the middle child places her in the middle of almost all stances within her family and she is sometimes the black sheep for it.

  History:
  Margaret Helena Ravenswood was born the middle child and the 2nd princess to the Ravenswood Family, being the middle child was hard but adding being female to it and there was more problems than one could imagine. As a young child, Margaret was the calmest of the children, often well behaved and rarely acting out. She did as she was told without hesitation and still does to a degree. She grew up around a family who always had conflicting opinions and almost everything, Maggie often found herself caught in the middle of such debates and couldn't choose a side for herself. In order to free herself from the struggles of being caught in the middle, Maggie found her passion for horses and horseback riding, often spending her times alone with the horse than inside with any humans. The animals were calm and down to earth, never bickering or arguing. Margaret gets along with all of her siblings, including her older brother Christopher, who is feared by many. His siblings often argue with her since in one way or another their brother had hurt them, but Maggie could never find herself able to family the cold shoulder, no matter how cruel they were. One man in her life that tends to leave her feeling odd was her own father. Years of standing in the background and not placing herself in the spotlight gave her time to observe her family a bit closer than most would get a chance to do. Maggie enjoys her place in the background but hopes to be able to escape such a life that her family is now living through marriage, hopefully of her own free will and not being forced into something that would make her unhappy.

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Role: Second Prince

Skills:
Quick Wit
Rhetoric
Swordplay |Moderate|
Horseback Riding

BiographyHector was the second son born to the King and Queen. They had already birthed their heir, his older brother Christopher, and so, for the most part, he was free to do as he willed.

He was a charming young boy with a curiosity as vast as it was insatiable, and more often than not he was found in the library with his nose in a book or perusing the vibrant palace gardens. Sometimes his eldest brother would join him, chatting affably whilst he read, and showing him around the seemingly endless property when he desired to go outside. Hector loved the days he and his brother spent gallivanting around the palace, and he admired the heir greatly. Christopher was kind, wise, and strong, and always seemed to make time for his family.

It came as a shock when his older brother drew away, opting to become cold and aloof where he was once friendly and sympathetic. Hector dealt with this as best as he could, and as years passed he thought of it less and less.

As Hector grew older, he desired to leave the castle and its tense, stiff atmosphere. Not permanently, he assured his father, only a simple few trips. At first, the King only relented on the condition that Hector strictly visited noble houses and noble houses alone. He argued that the peasants were prone to rash and dangerous behavior, that public places put royalty without guards at risk. And while his argument held merit, Hector wasn't content. His curiosity was a vast and insatiable thing, and he wanted to see more than the stone walls and duplicitous facades of other nobles. He wanted to see their people.

In the face of unrelenting stubbornness (likely helped by the fact Hector was not the heir), his father begrudgingly allowed him to visit a neighboring town; with a sizeable guard, of course. Hector was elated and thanked the King profusely.

His elation did not last long, however. Even as they reached the outskirts of the settlement, Hector knew something was wrong. The serfs of the town were pitiful; covered in muck and filth, their clothes littered with holes. They were a downtrodden people, suppressed by their land-owning lords. Hector was disconcerted by what he saw and immediately desired change. He knew that things could -- should -- be different.

His reformist views became, and remain, a source of contention between Hector and his father; after all, his son opposed the very system that kept them in power.

PersonalityPersonality: Hector is a bright young man with a curious spirit and an avid desire for knowledge. Despite growing up surrounded by the brutal intrigue of the court, he strives to remain compassionate, especially in the face of Christopher's stiff demeanor. He detests the social borders erected between royalty and servants and will typically befriend anyone regardless of station or class. However, after his eldest brother's recent display of violence, he has tried to be more subtle.

Hector is also a bit of an idealist. He believes that much of the standing order in England can be better than it is. Being rather liberal himself, Hector champions many of the beliefs other nobles despise, leading him to be relatively unpopular in the King's court. Often he can get lost in his enthusiasm, speaking of philosophy and theoretical governments like it's second nature to him. Many of the nobles find this behavior to be ridiculously frivolous and unbefitting of a prince.

  History:
  The daughter of the Duke of Cambridge, Cassandra has known the royal family since she was a child. She often accompanied her parents to the the palace upon royal invitations and grew quite fond of the royal family from a young age. She was educated to the highest standard, both academically and socially. Cassandra was sixteen when her mother died from a long-term illness and with her father often absent from the manor, the teenager accepted an invitation to become a nanny to the royal children.
  
  Christopher was just a baby when Cassandra first started her role, so she was able to see first hand the years when the eldest prince was still considered human. A few years later, the eldest princess was born and then the younger four siblings came along. Cassandra grew fond of all the royal children, learning of their own personalities and needs. Those first ten years were the happiest she had seen the palace.
  
  Whilst working at the palace, Cassandra learned from the King that her father had succumbed to ill health, just as her mother had. She made sure to contain her grief around her children, but found comfort in one of the knights, Sir David Harewood. It wasn't long before the pair fell in love and became engaged. Around this time, Cassandra ceased being a nanny and was instead promoted to be a tutor to the children and supervisor of the female servants.
  
  Ten years ago, the King once again delivered bad news to Cassandra, informing her that David had been killed in battle against the French. The news hit her hard and she hid away for a time, trying to overcome her grief. It was only the unrest in the palace which snapped her back into her normal self. She could see Christoper begin to change. At first, she could see only fear and pain in his eyes, but this gradually turned to cold hatred. She knew the child they had known was lost, perhaps forever, and she vowed to stay around the palace to help the royal children in the years to come.
  
  In the ten years since David died, Cassandra has been so busy with her duties to think of her own future and happiness. This is something which she deeply regrets, fearing she will one day be rejected by the palace and become an old spinster.

  Personality:
  Jasper was granted knighthood at a young age, causing him to grow up quickly. On the chaotic battlefield, immaturity led to a premature death. He is a withered veteran, bound to the castle due to his past shoulder injury. Despite his bitterness for being cutdown in his prime, he still fulfills his role as a royal guard around the castle. He has molded a tough exterior around him, slowly built up from his childhood. He may seem rude and crass to the unacquainted, but his friends know him as a charismatic character who loves to drink and socialize.
  
  His free spirit couldn't even be detained by the authority figures on the battlefield. He enjoys to push the boundaries and exercise his abilities to abscond corporal punishment. While his superiors expect him to follow orders, due to him being knighted, he will still follow his gut - even if it means disobeying his superiors. Despite this, he is extremely loyal. Molded to the image of his commanders' liking since birth, he would happily lay down his life for the kingdom. In fact, his greatest fear is death without purpose.
  
• 
  
  History:
  Jasper was born the second child of Hector Crossman II, an advisor for King Ravenswood. Jasper and his older brother, Hector the III, were put into special training from birth, on the path to knighthood. When they weren't doing their rigorous training, they spent their time around the castle. Jasper enjoyed being mischievous and pulling pranks on the guards, often scolded by his brother when caught. Unlike Hector III, Jasper wasn't as ambitious about becoming a knight. He would often ditch practice whenever he saw an opportunity. He felt as if he was being robbed of his childhood and envied the other children in the kingdom, who got to goof off to their hearts content. He and his brother were around the royal family for most of their life, growing close to the King's children. Jasper especially liked Maggie, his usual partner-in-crime when it came to his elaborate pranks.
  
  Jasper got his first taste of combat in the Battle of Ponza, fighting alongside his brother in Italy. After proving himself, he and his brother were knighted by the king. To his brother and father's dismay, he broke the tradition of knight's seldom humility and instead celebrated in the local tavern with his mates. He continued to battle alongside his brother in the Italian War until his injury. During the Battle of Marciano, Jasper took an arrow to his left shoulder, directly into his rotator cuff. This left him with the inability to raise his shield to protect him. Ditching his shield, he managed to fight his way through the battle with one functioning arm.
  
  After being evaluated, it was decided that he could not fight alongside his fellow knights without the ability of his left arm. He was sent back to the kingdom while his arm healed back to it's full potential. He was separated from his brother, who continued to fight on the frontline without him. Jasper was finally able to spend time with his father. The time, however, was short-lived - as his father died from pneumonia four months later. Jasper has spent his remaining time as a royal guard, allowing his left arm to heal somewhat naturally.

  Morgana is often characterized by her loud, outspoken attitude noticeable even from a distance that one might even think the royal family owns a parrot; her voice is known for driving the dogs mad, setting off the palace guards into alarm and scaring several stable boys because her voice reached a pitch akin to a siren. She is shown to be very expressive in her speech; often imitating the sounds of things when she does not know what to call it, and shouting loudly when she is upset. She also has a considerable temper which is comparable to a volcano: sudden, destructive and with many casualties. When angered or frustrated, she has a tendency to rant vociferously to herself.
  
  Even with that, she can still be feminine...surprisingly. While she is generally shown as compassionate and helpful towards anyone in trouble, she's also a vulnerable, stubborn and very short-tempered girl. Despite her temper, Morgana has a more prominent gentle side. She has come to the aid of her rivals, even consistently feeling compassion towards or helping people who try to make her life miserable. She has a tendency to trust others blindly unless someone tells her otherwise.

  Morgana Vangala is the eldest daughter and second child of Lady Brena and Lord Stephon Vangala. Stephon is the head of House Vangala. The Vangala is one of the constituents known houses for its everlasting power and influence.
  Morgana was born and raised in the palace her father was one of the trusted officials and her mother a friend to the many nobles. Morgana's has an older brother, Star, two younger brothers, Hugi and Nicolas, a younger sister, Georgie, and a "half-brother" Mandar, with whom she had a distant relationship due to her mother's influence. Morgana enjoys proper "lady-like" pursuits and is good at sewing, embroidering, poetry, singing, dancing, literature, etiquette, history and music although she failed in all of them yet she still found them very fun to do. When she was young she dreamed of being a regal Queen, and that just like in the epic songs she would meet her knight in shining armor. She has inherited her mother's coloring, like most of her siblings, and her mother thinks Morgana will be even more beautiful than she was when she was younger. She is often seen in contrast with her sister, who has neither her looks nor her accomplishments in feminine activities and comportment.
  
  By the age of 10 things begin to slowly unfold and her family begins to disappear from the picture. Her father was called a traitor and was killed in an attempt to escape his hanging. And in revolt, his sons followed and one after another they were either beheaded or died trying to reach the king while her mother died merely of grief. All that was left of her family was her and her younger sister which didn't last long the young lady became very ill and no one would provide for proper medical care. The Royals to piety on the girl and there he rin the kitchen until the age of 12 when she began taking care of the princess serving one at a time as a handmaiden at times she would do chores for the princes.

Personality:
Alexandrine can be described as bold, prideful, and even a little arrogant at times for those that have met her once. I’m truth, she is all of those but more. She is very passionate, and cares for those that she loves dearly, and can be very overprotective of them, she’s loyal, and willing to sacrifice herself for them. Due to how she was raised, she’s very prideful, and indeed is immensity competitive when it comes to less ladylike activities, such as swordplay and hand to hand combat, especially against men. She can be a bit too blunt at times, usually judging a person based on what she’s heard or seen, and her sharp tongue often leads her into trouble, especially with authority, her pride demanding she defend her honor and pride. You’ll hardly see her cry, instead her temper lashes with such a fury, it could make some of the bravest men hide. Overall, Alexandrine is a passionate, caring, strong, blunt, clever and bold girl, unafraid of a little danger and always seeking adventure.

History:
She grew up under a strict noble household. The Williams family was once well known, and respected, and had close ties with the royal family. She was the eldest of seven sisters, but not the oldest of the family. She had two older brothers as well. Her father was an untraditional man, and believed his daughters should be as able to fight as any man, and should never rely on one, believing they could marry whoever they wanted, and would never have to depend on a man. He wanted them to be strong, independent, and most of all be themselves. They’re mother of course, disagreed with this, more traditional herself, and believing they could only ever marry if they acted like proper ladies. Of course, Alexandrine’s father was a stubborn man and trained them in swordplay, and hand-to-hand combat skills, an area where Alexandrine far surpassed her sisters, favoring such trainh rather then the dancing and etiquette lessons her mother forced upon her. Alexandrine has wide ambition, and wanted to see hw world, taking after her father’s passions, she was incredibly close to him, more of a son to him then his actual sons, and she was closer to him then anyone else, spending nearly all her time with him. Of course, she learned how to be a lady as well, and assumed many responsibilities being the eldest daughter.


Unfortunately, her father wasn’t close enough to tell Alexandrine everything he was doing. Including his own plans to try and overthrow the Ling. He began to doubt the Kings rule, and saw Christopher wasn’t going to be such a forgiving King. After a young servant girl was tortured and hung, her father made his move against the crown, unfortunately, written letters revealing he was a traitor against the crown were revealed into the public after her father was betrayed. Her father was executed for treason. Her father, previously bringing in all the wealth, now gone, allowed for the family to decline. Slowly the wealth they once previously owned began to go down the drain, until they became nothing more than commoners. Of all places, to everybody’s bewilderment, Alexandrine tooka job as a maid in the royal palace, and some believe she has altering intentions rather then just keeping her family alive with her earned money.

Half Brother: Christopher Ravenswood
Half Brother: Hector Ravenswood
Half Brother: Romeo Ravenswood
Half Sister: Jocelyn Ravenswood
Half Sister: Margaret Ravenswood
Half Sister: Elena Ravenswood

Languages Learnt: English, French

PersonalitySebastian is very astute. Being raised knowing how to survive on very little made him crafty. Despite his mothers gentle heart, Sebastian is prone to being hot headed when provoked too much, however he had never raised a hand or blade to a woman or child. His mother ingrained in him a sense of loyalty to people he cares about and a deep sense of right and wrong. As he grew up this line between right and wrong blurred as he undertook some unsavory things for the sake of helping people.

His mothers passing made Sebastian jaded and cold, especially when knowledge of his family's history came to light. In his eyes, he saw how they flourished while his mother wilted in her efforts to raise her son. He wanted to do her proud and because of this, his actions take stock of what his mother would have done or said at any given time.


Biography

Sebastian grew up in a small nameless village as the only child of his mother Shiera. The main mystery of his life was the indentity of his father, since it was a well guarded secret. The only information he was ever given was that his father died in the war. He was told his looked similar to his father but he had his mothers eyes. Sebastian grew up with a fascination in wielding a blade. He was thought to wield a blade by the family's neighbor.

When he was 10 Sebastian became lost in the woods during a storm and had to survive on his own. It was this traumatic experience that led Sebastian to become a hunter for the village. With the survival skills and experience with a blade, he became something of a village hero. Hunting and giving out his spoils to those who needed them. It was often said he had the heart of a prince, which would make his mother sad though he did not know why.

He was 16 when his mother passed. She had been suffering from fever for a while and despite the best efforts of Sebastian and the town healer she passed away. For the first time in his life Sebastian was left alone. Sending his mother off to sea as she wished, Sebastian inherited his mothers home and belongings. While looking through and sorting what would be kept and given out, Sebastian found a lockbox. Containing a silver pendant of a Sword with a small sapphire hilt and a stack of letters.

It was that night that Sebastian learnt of his fathers true identity. He was the bastard son of the king and based on the letters, the king knew of his birth. Further reading showed that his mothers family, a merchant family in France disowned her when the pregnancy came to light. His mother had been in love and the king promised her marriage but instead abandoned her when a better prospect came along.

For the next number of years Sebastian turned cold and jaded. Selling the home he grew up in along with anything he did not need any longer, he kept the pendant and some letters before leaving the small village.

Over the years, Sebastian became a successful thief. Stealing from those he found lacking of any redeeming qualities to provide for innocent people but mostly for himself. He perfected many shady arts such as lock picking, sneaking and the use of a bow.

Zachariah Soloman King

damaged people are dangerous because they know how to make hell feel like home. unknown

age:
21

gender:
m

appearance:
dark, dirty blonde hair with pronounced facial features. deep, murky green eyes with hints of blue, chiseled chest and jaw, lean and decently muscled with a height standing around 6'1. often dresses quite simply, with a wrinkled white dress shirt and black dress pants, thick hair in a disarray, cigarette in hand wherever he goes, accompanied by a black dress suit slung over his lean shoulders. when the occasional special event or two come, zachariah is obliged to tame his unruly curled hair into more princely terms.



role:
closest friend of the eldest Prince ; powerful ally ; unofficial 'advisor'

skills:
zachariah is very adept when it comes to wooing the hearts of ladies, and when he wants to be, he can be quite devilishly charming. he is an expert at knife throwing, and always has one (or three) hiding beneath the folds of his shirt. he is decent in his swordplay, though none could match the skill his good friend Christopher possessed. zachariah is blessed with a sharp memory and ability to fire back verbally when needed. he is skillful in being sly and suave, yet at the same time, is able to be just as boisterous and rowdy as the drunkards in the local tavern classes below him. he is bilingual, able to speak both french and english because of his french roots.
the most dangerous thing about this man is that he is able to put on two faces. A double-sided coin, a double-edged sword that can fool a fool into believing him to be a friend, when really, he's the enemy.

personality:
zachariah is a complicated character. his motives are anything but guessable. he's always three steps ahead and you never know what moves he might make next. though he seems like a dolt only born to fuck around in town, wasting his fortune away, he is more than what his reputation makes him up to be. cunning and sly, zachariah handles his position very well---his influence is powerful in the Court, especially when it comes to the eldest Prince, despite his youth and supposed idiocy and promiscuity that is so often rumored and gossiped around court and castle. zachariah does not mind the 'fool' the Court paints him out to be because that meant he was underestimated. zachariah of all people knew that underestimation was deadly, especially in the malicious game of politics. he does nothing more than use it to his advantage. he's a prick most of the time, not gonna lie, and arrogant as well.

zachariah is also damaged. his backstory is one not to be proud of, nor is it worthy of praises. his past is a glass broken in pieces, and as a result, so is he. the cigarettes he carries are a way of escape---so are the drinks and the women, even politics serves as a distraction for him. these are the similarities he shares with his close friend Christopher, the eldest prince, who had his own fair share of life's tragedies. he is peter pan at times, simply because he wasn't allowed the time to properly grow up.
zachariah has this cold exterior for a reason---to hide the wounds of his past. i couldn't tell you what he truly was because he himself does not know---he's been holding up this hardened exterior for so long, it became a part of him. and though it may seem these are all but negative traits, zachariah does indeed have some positive ones. for example, zachariah is headstrong and determined, in the things he wants, loyal to a fault to his one and only closest friend, the eldest Prince, clever and witty at times and a grin that makes you immediately swoon and trust him for no reason.
and though it may be a cliché. it has a ring of truth: only someone truly special can break the wall this man has so carefully built around himself.

history:
zachariah's family was powerful. there was no doubt about it.

the family possessed more lands than the stars and were the second most powerful, after the King and Queen of course. the two families were incredibly close---zachariah's father and the King had been close friends in their younger years and their bond had stood the test of time. zachariah was the only child, destined to inherit a vast empire alongisde the Royal Family.

and for a time, zachariah's life had been sweet, raised in the lap of luxury. but even as a child, one could tell the striking difference between zachariah and the other high-born children. the boy had an innate rebel streak, a tendency to disobey, to oppose the traditions and seek his own path. he was a hooligan---a trickster, a jester, often driving his tutors and nannies mad. he despised the stuffy, tight outfits and pinched shoes, hated attending his tutors' sessions, hated being confined for so long. he was a free spirit, and spent as much time as he could outside.
he would often gaze out the window, watching the street children play off in the distance---zachariah did not mind the scruffy, dirty appearances of those common children; he was envious of them because they had something he thought he lacked.
the freedom to make his own choices.
it didn't take long until his parents shockingly found their little duke scurrying in the dusts of a dirt road, playing ball with the other village children, his fine clothing and appearance a stark contrast to the immediate environment around him, already streaked with dirt and mud. his parents were shocked and indignant. they swept and took the boy away, and that was the last time he'd ever be allowed to go beyond his castle's walls.
of course, he only a child then. the poor boy was lonely---despite having a loving father and mother, he was in desperate need of a friend.
in came christopher.

the eldest Prince of the King and Queen was three years his senior. the first time they met, it was at a royal ball, celebrating the Prince's turning of thirteen, the beginning of adolescence. it didn't take long until both boys were sneaking around the ballroom, pulling little pranks, thieving away at the dessert tables and committing overall mischief. it was the beginning of a bond that they would cherish in the coming years.

yet in the coming years, all was not well. the prince, now an adolescent, was being pressured more and more, his father incessantly pushing harder and harder for his son to become the fearless and powerful king that the King desired. it was a cruel time---and when it became unbearable, the prince turned to zachariah for comfort and peace. often, the prince would take sanctuary in the dwelling of his friend. that way, their friendship grew stronger---you could almost call them brothers.

alas, not only would there be tragedy for the prince, there would be tragedy for the young duke as well. at the young age of twelve, zachariah's father died of tuberculosis, fighting a long hard battle before he lost in the dead of night. this loss was a hard hit to zachariah, especially at such a young age---he and his father had been relatively close; the man had taught zachariah the art of knife throwing, of horseback riding, of swordsmanship and his son mourned for weeks, months. the death had almost changed him completely.

his mother however, seemed to be not the same. Just months after her husband's death, she remarried to a cruel, harsh man whose only intent was to have his children (zachariah's new half siblings) inherit the massive fortune zachariah's father had in store for his son. the man cut ties with the Royal Family, cutting the funds and the land agreements that they had, meaning zachariah and christopher met no more. and so, not only was zachariah robbed of a father, he was robbed of a friend and was about to be robbed of what should be rightfully his.

here was what became a family rivalry---zachariah against his new stepfather. the man took liberty to beat zachariah, to be harsher and crueler to him than he was to the other children. zachariah was constantly outcast, singled out, alone and abused for much of his later childhood. the stepfather was adamant that his eldest son, Robert, who was about two years older than zachariah, be given the fortune by birthright, even when the will had deemed the possessions go to zachariah. the constant debate between family members took a toll on zachariah.

to escape the harsh realities of home, zachariah began to smoke and drink, sneaking off in the middle of the night to go into town disguised, seeking for distractions. he soon became a regular at the local taverns and brothels, making friends and enemies and maybe both at the same time. he became a mischiefmaker, recalling his childhood antics. zachariah cared little for the damage it would make to his reputation or to the reputation of his family.
his only thought?
fuck it.

zachariah still had christopher though. even with the endless growing list of new princely duties and responsibilities preparing the young man for Kingship, the two managed to stay close. the young prince knew of his friend's troubles, with father and fortune, just like he had with his old man. these similarities kept them close through difficult times. he also knew of his friend's scandalous habits, and though he severely disapproved it, he also knew it was zachariah's way of coping. but was it the right way of coping?

in came zachariah's eighteenth birthday. and despite the passionate opposition spawned by his stepfather, zachariah earned his fortune and power. the backlash was fierce. after all the scandals and rumour of zachariah's trip to town and his infamous behaviour, one couldn't trust a rebellious rascal to handle all that power and money. it had to be given to someone responsible and even-minded. his stepfather was baying for his blood. zachariah was facing a controversy and possibly a death sentence that even he could not handle. he needed help.

so, he turned to the only person he could truly trust.
christopher.

the eldest Prince, now a young man of twenty-one, gave zachariah what he needed, remembering the young duke's benevolence in their early years.
protection.
protection from his stepfather, from his family, from the Court, even from the King, who was becoming frailer and weaker as the days go by. and in return, zachariah, displaying a remarkable brilliance for financing and politics, managed to rebuild those financial ties between the Ravenswoods and the Kings, setting in land agreements and funds that would benefit them both greatly, making the rich richer and the poor poorer. zachariah also developed a sizable influence in Court thanks to christopher, displaying his cruelty in the participation of the torture and executions of criminals. he himself plans to humiliate and execute his stepfather, in a very public manner, as a show of revenge and power to those who doubt him.

in the end, this tumultuous past of his has turned zachariah into the man he is now.
a young boy who was never given the chance to grow up, a cruel and powerful duke with a brilliance astounding many, a charming, witty, rebellious rascal willing to take risks and lives for adventure, and finally, a mighty ally and surprisingly loyal friend to the eldest Prince and to the kingdom.


extra:

relationships/opinions zachariah has of others

christopher mathias ravenswood ( Misty Gray ) : zachariah and christopher have been close ever since zachariah had been a young boy of ten and christopher a budding adolescent of thirteen. As the years went by, christopher's parents' expectations were unbearably cruel, and the poor prince was getting punished for every little fault. when it was too much, he would often seek refuge in the stately home of zachariah, taking comfort in the younger boy's friendship and generosity, something his own home lacked very often. they grew an inseparable bond, and as they grew into young men, both powerhouses in their own respect, they became partners in crime---christopher, not forgetting his friend's unending kindness, returned that favor by giving zachariah the protection he would need against his family, who want to see him hang for bringing such dishonor and shame to the family name because of his unruly behaviour, and against the Court, who severely dislike him, seeing the clever but cruel way he handles his power.
zachariah pays back to christopher by giving the eldest Prince unending financial support thanks to his immense fortune, a loyal political and powerful ally, as well as an 'unofficial' advisor.

elena katrina ravenswood ( ElectricDandellion ) : zachariah knows elena's sharp tongue and enjoys testing her temper, seeing how much of a wild one she really is. you could call it flirtation or just call it what it is; a good ol' folly aimed at amusing the powerful Duke.

king robert james ravenswood the second ( Misty Gray ) : the king is weary of zachariah, knowing the boy's tendencies, but he also knows the boy is an extremely powerful ally, and if all comes to war, the kingdom would need the boy's help.

alexander rotinya krow ( Angelofwishes7 ) : zachariah tolerates the man, knowing full of the sacrifices he took to protect the royal family.

rosalind gwyneth langston ( Bellz ) : to be truthful, zachariah is weary of her. betrothed to the eldest Prince, she is his future wife and possibly a future influence as well. zachariah is adamant that she not exceed his level of power and influence.

arabella mccallister ( Emotional Enigma ) : zachariah knows her task as an advisor to the eldest Prince, and keeps a careful eye on her even though in his eyes, she is more of a servant than anything else.

queen krista mareina ravensood ( Melanin-Gxdess ) : these two seem to be at odds with each other. being a mother, krista knows well when she sees a man not fully grown up, damaged more than anything else---a dangerous combination indeed, especially when it comes to his power in politics.

jocelyn luna ravenswood ( Melanin-Gxdess ): she's seemingly as cold as zachariah is, and that's what he likes about her. but alas, the eldest princess cares little for men.

maxwell tanner ( Misty Gray ): a lowly servant who mercifully knows his place.

margaret helena ravenswood ( Bellz ): a quiet one. zachariah has once tried his flirtatious tricks on her when he was very drunk once, but it didn't go very well. though she may be silent, her rejection was indeed deafening.

willard 'arm' armstrong (NPC): a hardworking, loyal servant to the Royal Family. zachariah recognizes his work and respects the old man for it.

romeo lance ravenswood ( mkuchiha ) : a peacekeeper. so in zachariah's eyes, not very likely to disturb his plans.

hector damien ravenswood ( Lost ) : the two men have never seen eye to eye. prince hector was a man of the people. zachariah? well, he was a man of power. you get the idea.

lady cassandra marie summers ( Misty Gray ): zachariah knew her well enough---she was, after all, the daughter of the Duke of Cambridge, who had once been a very close friend of zachariah's father before he died. a sharp-tongued woman as well---a bold trait, but should it go any farther than a snapping word or two, it wouldn't end well for her.

morgana s. vangala ( s u n ) : a rather unpleasant woman by nature, at least by zachariah's view. loud and inconsiderate, arguing way too much for a woman whose sole purpose is to care for the siblings. zachariah had her warned for her behavior more than a few times---a sign for her to control her temper or else.

alexandrine williams ( Ms. Sparrow ): zachariah knows of alexandrine well---daughter to a fallen noble, executed for treason against the Crown. she fascinates him---a high-born living the life of a servant. she is nonetheless a temperamental woman, with an admirable feistiness and boldness most wouldn't dare show.

[That Poppy]

"Men don't like taking orders from women they can barely stand speaking to them."
Name: Nurbana Furizual
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Appearance: ​

Nurbana wasn't meant to look like an angel her dark hair and skin did not match the medieval and Renaissance ideal of the fair-skinned, blue-eyed blonde despite her rather severe features she was still an attractive young woman in an exotic unconventional way. Except for her striking eyes, Nurbana's facial features were rarely remarked upon, even by her admirers "Reasonably good-looking". "Not one of the most handsome women in the world" she made a good impression with her fashion sense, inspiring many new trends amongst the court ladies she understood the importance of ostentatious display.
Nurbana's charm lay not so much in her physical appearance as in her vivacious personality, her gracefulness, her quick wit and other accomplishments. She was petite in stature, and had an appealing fragility about her… she shone at making music, dancing, and conversation. In her youth, she is "sweet and cheerful" and enjoyed gambling, drinking wine, and gossiping. She is also fearless, determined, charming, ambitious, politically astute, highly intelligent (even though she couldn't read) and intellectually driven. However, under stressful circumstances, Nurbana could be sharp-tempered, verbally aggressive and sharp-tongued.
Her appearance still retains its famed distinction, and she has a powerful yet alluring presence, despite her petite stature, and her remarkable skill in dance, conversation, and music made her shine.

Role: Foreigner/Daughter of a head court offical
Skills:
-Skillful cook
-Hard worker
-Manipulative
-Silver tongue
-Taming Snakes
-Poisons
-Exotic dancer
-Sword Dancer

Personality:
"The first lesson I ever learned was never to wait for a man's rescue."

Spoiler: Persona

Nurbana is portrayed as being vengeful, ruthless, embittered, cold and calculating. Having turned against her closest friends and even her own family, Nurbana zealously pursues what she believes to be right as well as the downfall of her enemies, even those she once cared about. She is a highly isolated and darkened character who resembles her biological father far more than she cares to admit since she, like her biological father, has suffered greatly on an emotional level and is unwilling to let go of past suffering. Additionally, Nurbana seeks to avenge her losses but ultimately fails to achieve satisfaction, which dooms her to be perpetually unhappy. In spite of her apparent callous antipathy, on rare occasions, Nurbana shows a sorrowful melancholy that she herself does not expect to feel when her father dies. Despite her vindictive and unforgiving personality, however, Nurbana remains a powerful, arrogant, intelligent, overconfident, and ferociously determined individual. Her darker characteristics are largely the product of external influences while her truer nature was portrayed as one of immense compassion. This nature has arguably not disappeared due to the melancholy she sometimes showed and she does at times reveal a vulnerable side of herself, such as her shock and hurt on hearing of her father's death, her deep conflict, her fear at being rendered powerless and her elation.

"Don't ever presume to touch me ever again!"
Fears:
-scared of dying
-Her power taken away from her
-Being poisoned
-A woman's beauty
-Being a slave once again

History:

Spoiler: 6 year old Nurbana

Take me away from this world and to heavens door
how can I live in this world without you, father?
why did you take me to this land of hate and sorrow?
What does it mean father?
When they say I'm an orphanage now?
They say the daughter of Furizual has no father now
What did I do? please come back father
Don't leave me in this place come take me home, father
Come and see what they did to your girl father
They slapped my face and they burnt my little dress father
They burnt our tents and they stole all of our things father
They took my veil and they ripped my earnings father
They beat my aunts and chained my uncle father
They have no shame and no hearts their so cruel father

uncle will bring water from the banks this is his word and I know he won't break my heart
Where is he now father how can we stay apart?
why has he not returned where is my uncle father?
If my uncle was here he would protect me father
where is his flag why does it not fly anymore father
Father where is my younger brother where did you take him to?
Father his lips where so dry but he could not tell you
and yet he smiled as he went to the battlefield
our mother's pain is so deep it will never heal
she said they shot him through the neck why oh why father
what could a six-month little child do to them father
There was no hand to hold walking across the desert
you were not there to hold me or to quench my thirst
there was no kiss to soothe my father when I was hurt
To wipe my tears father I could not find your shirt
I look for you but I cant see you anywhere
but then I look and I see your head carried upon a spear
Father my eyes desire you and my tears they flow
father, I see the birds they are all flying home
Will I be free to my home very soon
or will this dark prison cell be my only home

​

Nurbana's renown family surname was well known in many foreign lands this generated a certain family's carnivorous greed for the Furizual simply wealthy riches that they so easily obtained. Openly addressing several maintained the idea that the Furizual did not merit their fortune because they didn't recognize how to utilize it, to greater there 'territory' they used this as a justification to attack. Any powerful man could have taken the Furizual's fortune because their military tactics weren't the best plus the climate was in very bad conditions in terms of heat. The Ravenswood was one of the strongest and they held an interest in growing there riches thus they attacked, of course, they weren't complete brutes. They offered an alliance which the Furizual declined and then they attacked killing Nurbana's father in the process and her younger brother. This allowed for many of the Furizual enemies to attack taken the royal family and its residents as hostages. Nurbana worked as a slave in many royal households along with her mother and uncles. While being dragged through the deserts to go to their next destination Nurbana still being a child was thirsty her uncle had begged one of the guards for water whom so kindly called the Lord who threw the water on the desert sand. Her uncle left to look for Nurbana's water and never returned.

By her teens, she was sold off to the Ravenwoods as a servant.
And as a servant, she worked extremely hard and all things came to an end when her mother married an official who was involved in the court as one of the highest men in terms of well and loyalty to the king. At first, it was odd for Nurbana since the man had already had a wife and was married with 6 kids 2 of which were girls. Growing accustom to her new lifestyle wasn't easy since her mother and uncles including herself served the royal family once by one whether it be foot rubbing which Nurbana usually did, her youngest uncle was a stool to the king at one time. Yet Nurbana has still yet to read since this isn't her first language either.

Extra:
-Can't read
-Not very proper lady
