Name: Prince Flynn Arenar.
Age: 31.
Gender: Male.
Race: Human.
Legitimate: Yes.

Occupation: Flynn took up no official duties, instead long since leaving the capital to travel to the four corners of the land.

Greatest Desire: Immortality - to have all of time to seek truths and watch over those who come after.
Greatest Fear: To lose himself and become a stranger while walking the path he has chosen.

Appearance: While there are plenty of rumours and hearsay about Flynn being some disfigured caricature of a dark mage they have little basis in reality. Indeed, Flynn's looks fit his princely heritage well - his hair black as night, loosely curly and cut relatively short, but long enough to have a naturally windswept appearance stemming from a lack of styling. His eyes are wide pools of deepest blue, a sharp, piercing quality to them that has made many a person halt in their tracks when his gaze intensifies. Whether the stares that meet them find warmth or a biting chill depends utterly on circumstance.

One quality that is spoken true is that of his pale skin, a trait he has been unable to change in any meaningful way despite many a day spent under a hot sun. Even so, his body is in fantastic shape - healthy and athletic, very well taken care of despite his focus on magecraft, lean muscled and relatively tall at 5'11". Flynn has his share of scars scattered about, one of the few visible being a straight cut on the left side of his chin a rough two inches across, the worst of it covered by some light facial hair he keeps neatly trimmed.

Attire: Away from court for so long Flynn has little to no taste for the 'finer' clothes many of the nobility enjoy, finding his own enjoyment in comfort and practicality rather than posturing. Dark coloured breeches with well-worn dark travelling boots, a long-sleeved white shirt covered by a sleek, black leather cuirass with matching leather vambraces. Over this Flynn wears a dark coat that reaches to his thighs. I am Inferi.

Equipment: A strong belt with a number of easily accessed satchels and pouches, a straight-bladed dagger sheathed on his left - seemingly simple and unremarkable, in excellent condition, but a close inspection proves it has been used often. What is not so clear even from close inspection is the powerful necrotic magic imbued into the blade. Flynn has a pretty large backpack full of his various tools for camping and travel, not to mention curiosities and texts for those relaxed nights by a campfire - albeit he is rarely the one to carry it, that task being given to one of his two permanent 'retainers'.

Finally, set into a deep inner pocket of his coat is a large, leather-bound grimoire. The material is strong, unworn by the passage of time and damage of the elements, warded heavily with his magic - protection from would-be thieves who'd be more likely to have a hand rot off than get more than a few steps away with it.

Magic: Necromancy - or more broadly speaking, death magic.

Retinue: When Flynn first left the capital a host of eight retainers went with him, mixed between those truly loyal to him and those who went simply because they were told to. Now, the prince has but two permanent retainers who walk by his side everywhere - their faces and bodies covered in cloth and solid armour, the slits of their helmets providing only a violet glow to those who look close enough. One wields shield and longsword, the other a hefty two handed maul.

History: Born to the queen, or rather the king's wife at the time, Flynn wanted for nothing in his childhood. He was polite, learned quickly and took great interest in spending time with his siblings whether older or younger. The boy garnered a reputation around the castle as a protective brother, lashing out at those who had bothered or 'hurt' his siblings in some manner, as best a child understood such things, which was often not well as some occasions were as simple as them crying over not wanting to eat vegetables. I am Inferi.

Flynn's mother passed shortly before his tenth birthday, some advisors to the king later theorizing that such a trauma had played a part in how his magical talents manifested, for young Flynn discovered a powerful aptitude for death magic. Many were quick to 'strongly suggest' he dismiss his aptitude and follow another path, perhaps that of his weaker aptitude for earth - but Flynn was not easily dissuaded from the macabre practice he had been granted. Indeed, he took to the magic like a fish to water, fascinated by the power and refusing to toss it aside because some old nobles around him found it unpleasant.

As a result Flynn ended up distanced somewhat from his siblings, not overtly - but with subtlety as caretakers nudged schedules and dropped casual suggestions that it was Flynn that did not wish to spend time with them. The friendly golden boy falling to controversy as rumours began to spread, even at that early age - vindictive and judgmental. Was it any wonder that he sought to take his leave of the capital entirely?

And he did at the age of 15, far earlier than his other siblings were granted such freedom to choose their path, the boy left with eight retainers, some willing and others ordered. He took to the roads and the freedom it provided, doubling down on his talent for necromancy all the more, growing a hunger for knowledge and secrets that may be hidden away in the corners of the realm. The young prince saw and experienced the cultures of many, learned of the dark places and went to them - slaughtering bandits, facing down vicious monsters and deepening his strength over death. All the while leaving the innocent untouched, many a face able to recall only fond memories of the charming young man who had graced their lives for a few short days.

Now he returns to the capital for the first time in years as his father's call reached even him. With the return of the Black Prince many wonder what kind of person Flynn Arenar truly is.

Other: Eh. I am Inferi.

Name: Princess Chloelle Arenar (Pronounced Klo-Ell)
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Legitimate: Yes .

Occupation: Socialite/Investments in a series of fashion boutiques.

Greatest Desire: The throne. But is it greed alone that drives her, or something darker?
Greatest Fear: Being abandoned, left to die alone and forgotten like her mother.

Appearance: Chloelle has a delicate and almost doll-like appearance, from the heart-shaped face (eyyyy) to the soft, doe-like eyes of shimmering chartreuse, framed by long, thick, black eyelashes. Her hair – vibrant shades of golden blonde – floods down over her back to brush against her hips in curling waves, the tips of her pointed ears visible through the yellow locks. Her body is a slender hourglass, one used to wearing corsets and fancy attire.
Attire: As an investor of fashion boutiques, Chloelle is never seen in the same outfit twice, her dresses leading the way in fashion among the nobles. For this particular beginning, she wears a gown of satin, hugging her torso in a halter style all the way to her hips, where it widens into an A-line skirt that flares out towards the bottom. Gold detailing adorns the front and embraces her back, whilst diamonds dot across the skirt itself. The dress is a gradient of colours, starting from a chartreuse green to match her eyes, and fading downwards into a striking turquoise blue. Gold and white diamonds encircle her upper arms and neck, whilst her hair is worn loose – with a delicate lattice of gold chains and tiny diamonds gently laid over the top. A soft white chiffon shawl drapes over her arms, keeping her lower arms only vaguely hidden.

Equipment: Chloelle’s sole preference is a short elven blade, about the length of her forearm. It is usually kept strapped to her right thigh – concealed under her skirt.
Magic: Water

History: The last of the elven children to be born to Queen Adrianna, Chloelle was three when her mother fell ill and was unable to aid her King. Over the following two years, the illness ravaged the queen to a shadow of her once elegant and beautiful self, before she passed away with Chloelle at her side. No tears were shed from the then-five year old Princess. Instead, she dedicated herself to her studies of water magic and etiquette with the intention of becoming the finest princess of the empire. By the time she reached twenty years of age, she used the funds allocated to her to invest in a string of fashion boutiques, choosing to profit from the nobility's hunger to always be at the forefront of fashion. It has served her very well thus far. By her current age, she became a regular face at social gatherings, balls and parties - building relations with the other noble houses to garner their support, and making herself the centre of social politics.

Retinue: Ladies-in-waiting:-

- Lady Alyndrae of House Jonelis - Her House is loyal to the King

- Lady Siorra of House Iliran - Her House is neutral in the political world of nobility

Personal knight:-

- Aedan Varis

Other: Chloelle is known to be a gentle extrovert, offering a warm welcome to all.

Name: Princess Adrienne Arenar
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Legitimate: Yes, in that she is a viable heir - however, she and her sister were born out of wedlock.

Occupation: Diplomat. Adrienne works closely with the other royal negotiators and diplomats, but she is based in the capital and rarely leaves for outreach events. She prefers welcoming guests to the palace and ensuring everyone feels comfortable.

Greatest Desire: A better world. Adrienne wants to see fairer representation for the little people. Beyond that, it's not clear exactly what her idea of a better world is - yet.
Greatest Fear: Furthering conflict. Although she recognizes its place in the world, Adrienne would hate to knowingly contribute to people's suffering.

Appearance: Adrienne has an angular face with high cheekbones and a perfectly-practiced neutral expression. She carries herself confidently, often lending her angled cheeks and rounded eyes an almost ethereal quality - as long as you ignore her height. Standing at about 5'6, she's not the shortest person, but certainly short for an elf. Like most of her race, her ears stretch into pointed tips at the ends.

Her Grace tends to keep her waist-length auburn hair pulled into a braided bun at the crown of her head, though she keeps two strands loose at the front to frame her face. This serves to soften some of her sharper features, and works to highlight her heterochromia. Her left eye is a pale violet, but her right is a jade green.

Her body is slender, and although she's not a skilled fighter, she tries to maintain a slim form. As such, she has more of a swimmer's body than a fighter's.
Attire: Her Grace can often be seen in clothes befitting the daughter of the king, although she tries to keep them as simple and understated as possible. Usually, she can be seen

in a dark velvet gown of crimson, with a cloak of thick black material when she gets too chilly (which is frequently).

Equipment: Adrienne is far from a combatant, usually preferring to talk her way out of confrontation. However, she does keep a small dagger strapped in her waistbelt. Besides that she mostly just carries a small pouch of coin for errands and rarely travels far enough to warrant more.
Magic: Adrienne is, ultimately, an empath. She can reach out and sense people's emotional state so long as she can see them. And for non-royals, she can even manipulate their thinking, resulting in a near-mind-control level of control. This lessens once she is no longer in sight of her target, but often her "guidance" lingers to some extent - for example, if she eases someone's anger, they won't be quite as angry even once they walk away. Other royals are able to resist this, but they can accept her power if they choose.

Retinue: Lord Fyrbryn of House Reyalia - a nobleman of a distant holding who spends a lot of time in the palace as a representative of his House.

Dame Syrila Devon - a knight assigned as Adrienne's personal bodyguard, and her loyal confidante.

History: Born out of wedlock as the younger of identical twin sisters, Adrienne had a rough early start to life. However, the king's dalliance with the twins' mother was quickly discovered, and the two resulting girls were invited to live at the palace as legitimized children. Their mother named her Adrienne - a subtle nod to the reigning Queen's name. Otherwise, she grew up largely interested in the various traditions of the neighboring duchies and lands, often spending time speaking to visiting dignitaries about their homes.

By her teens, she had already decided on her magical focus. She dived into her research headfirst, bolstering those skills alongside those of diplomacy. In the time since, she worked to earn herself a name as an fair negotiator and effective mediator. She's spent much of the
