History: Hailing from Havelan, Dalhover grew up in a landowning family, his father a knight, his mother descending from adventurers. Since the world was relatively peaceful, there was not so much need for organized military, though martial arts were important for self-defence against criminals, during civil unrest, and occasional monsters going eastwards.

Inheriting the chivalric elan from his father and adventurous nature of his mother, Dalhover grew up learning everything he could from his father and various martial artists, serving as his father’s squire. Having proved himself, his father knighted him and Dalhover served as a caravan guard, bodyguard, and mercenary amidst his adventures.

Throughout his adulthood, he was a travelling tutor who taught others the art of defence. He travelled throughout the continent; be the lands elven, dwarven, Orcish or Western badlands, Dalhover journeyed, learning survivalism and adaptability, enduring many monstrous encounters. His future wife was also an adventurous woman, Constance, who he eventually married, she living with his parents at their homestead once she got pregnant.

The travelling master eventually ended up a retainer for the Arenar courts, where he taught professional martial arts to the nobility, retainers and agents who desired so. He often shared stories of his adventures, many mixed with tragedy, betrayal by greedy friends, and violent encounters with bandits and monsters which took many of his friends’ and horses’ lives.

Other: Virgilÿ, first son; Dieterich, second son; Barbara, daughter. Constance, wife, died last year.
The first son lives in the von Württemberg homestead in Havelon, with his wife Anna and their children Johannes and Maria.
The second son lives in Alyssia with his wife Elisabeth and their triplets Caspar, Henric and Faust.
Dalhover’s daughter married Oliver August, a merchant from Alyssia, currently pregnant with their first child.

((Azi - the thread wasn't fully complete at the time you made you sheet. Please reread the thread because your current character does not work. To sum up the problems:

1. Only children of the King of Tavia can use magic.
2. Tavia is the only known nation in the world.
3. Open warfare is not really a thing in this setting.
4. The region your character hails from does not exist.

The explanation for these issues will become apparent if you read my recent additions.))

Name: Prince Llewellin Arenar: (Also called ‘Lewin” or “Lew”)
Age: 40 (Born 1854 AE)
Gender: Male.
Race: Elf
Parentage: Legitimate child.

Occupation: Healer. Being called from back from his travels, he finds himself incredibly annoyed.

Greatest Desire: A stronger constitution. Llewellin is very sickly, and he is constantly wracked with illness. He believes there were complications from his birth to Queen Adrianna. He is to become a powerful life mage, he can manipulate other’s life force, but when it comes to his own life force, he has not mastered manipulating his own. Gaining the throne may help him in that regard, according to his research.

Greatest fear: Disease, and his own frailty. He fears that one day a particularly bad bout of illness may kill him, and as such he has intense superstitions about how disease works. Illness has nearly killed him several times.

Appearance: Lewellin resembles his mother most, with short black hair, white skin, which burns easily in the sunlight, piercing green eyes, and a frightening affect that makes him unnerving and difficult to approach. His face is very effeminate (He seems to only frown. No one has ever seen him smile, not even during infancy. His skin is angelic and beautiful. He is skinny and he is under-weight. To the point that he looks ill. He hates everything he eats.

Attire: He wears forest green finery. To the point that he is called “The Green Prince” gold leaf is embroidered into white inlays in his shirt, and he wears forest green trousers. His boots are made from black leather.

Equipment He carries a rapier hates violence so much that the only way he'd use it is if Palmena and Jolina were incapacitated or dead. He went through sword fighting training in the months befo but he He also carries his healing staff. Like his brother Flynn, he weas a belt adorned with satchels containing his herbalist ingredients, and in his backpack, he carried his herbalist equipment.

Magic: Life magic: Life magic. He is to become an incredibly powerful healer, able to heal hundreds if not thousands, but he needs to work up to that point. At current juncture, he can heal maybe five people at once during any given time

Retinue: Llewellen is constantly on the move as a healer. Given the position of Chief Healer recently. He takes two retainers with him wherever he does travel. Both of whom are female. Palmena Aegisbane, his bodyguard, and his longtime friend Jolina Potionmaster, his herbalist. Both of whom are his friends.


History: Llewellin was born to Queen Adrianna 6 years before her death, and but he barely remembers her. After he was presented to the king, a physician noted that he was incredibly frail. As a result, the king coddled him and rarely allowed Lew to leave the palace. Physicians told him of his condition which gave him many superstitions on the nature of disease. Specifically, he believed that his illnesses were the result of crimes he committed in a past life, and that his illnesses were created by Aedus Lifebringer specifically to annoy him. He was rarely allowed outside his room during his childhood, and he grew to be a very sheltered naïve boy, easily deceived by other people. When he did leave his room, it was to bathe, eat, and drink. Growing up, he was given the best education and he developed eagerness to learn. His naivety left him bitter as people began taking advantage of him.

History:

Long weeks virtually imprisoned in his room, due to illness left Lew bored in his youth. At age 15, a servant took pity on the boy and taught him how to garden on days when he was feeling well. The idea of creating life, even if they were just plants fascinated young Lew, and it is said that a year later, his talent in life magic emerged. He also had a minor talent in nature magic, but the idea of creating life fascinated him more, and as a result his talent for nature magic disappeared.

At age 20, a physician examined him and determined that Lew was sterile and unable to procreate with women, which came as a relief to Lew, as he figured out, later that year, that he was homosexual. That year, he was assigned Palmena Aegisbane as his bodyguard, and he also met his first friend, Jolina Potionmaster. Lew became friends with both of his vassals. Palmena gave him a jade dagger, which Lew spent a fortune on having enchanted to his specifications.

At 30, his health improved, and he was allowed greater freedom to leave the palace. The next few years were spent on his studies in life magic, as well as dalliances with men of the upper classes, and in one case a peasant gardener whom he was working with in the palace, after conversations with the prince, the gardener and Lew began a “secret” affair, which didn’t stay secret for long. Whispers abounded that Lew began a secret affair with one of the gardeners.

The rumor was true. the prince bedded him, then dumped him after he got what he wanted. Soon after the gardener was dismissed from service by the king, and Lew received quite the lecture from the nobility, and his father about why not to bed peasantry. The issue had to deal with both Lew’s safety and the safety of the palace, the king did not want peasants to think that romancing Lew was a way to get close to the king in an attempt to gain favor with him

He took ill several times at age 35. One of these illnesses also nearly killed him. After he recovered from that illness, the King summoned him He was to travel the land as a healer in an attempt to improve his constitution. Before he left to begin his position as a traveling healer. His research concluded that if he were to gain the throne, then he would be able to do that and so much more.

He especially does not like his brother Flynn, and his propensity for death magic. Though he has not seen Flynn in years, he considers himself Flynn’s antithesis He is incredibly naïve and sheltered, and wise, but easily deceived. This is where Palmena and Jolina come in. They are not easily deceived. Lew abhors violence, blood, Cand drunkeness, obnoxiousness and especially foolishness. His continence makes him difficult to approach, as he never smiles.

In the field, he is also a practiced herbalist who together with his retainer, Molina have become two very fine herbalists. We're he even remotely interested in her, as she wished he were, they'd be a great couple. Then a messenger arrived after long months of tracking Lee to tell him that he was required in the capital. The timing couldn't have been worse. He was busy innoculating a village against disease.


Anything else: Hopefully second time’s the charm? :3

Name: Princess Ariadne Arenar
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Parentage: Legitimate heir, illegitimate child

Occupation: Commander of the Kingdom’s Military.

Greatest Desire: To see what she loves live and flourish. This originally was limited to a very few things, but has greatly expanded as her life went on.
Greatest Fear: To lose what she loves as she watches helplessly.

Appearance: In base attributes, exactly like her twin. They have the same color hair, skin, and basic build. However, in terms of how Ariadne styles herself, it couldn’t be more different. Her hair is short, cut to a length that many nobles would consider unladylike, which might be one of the reasons she does it. Although she certainly has the stereotypical slimness of the elven race, she is very well built, her combat training and practice serving to keep her in excellent physical shape. In opposition to her twin, her left eye is jade green while her right eye is pale violet.

Attire: Unless there is a very abnormal circumstance, she will be wearing one of two things. The first is her combat gear, which is a set of armor specifically tailored to her that uses some of the best materials the kingdom’s smiths would have access to. It has the kingdom’s symbol on it and provides both excellent protection and mobility.
The second option is her non-combat military attire, worn essentially everywhere that combat attire would be either a hindrance or unnecessary. She has a version made out of both heavy and light material, so as to wear in virtually all seasons with little need for discomfort. It is hardly ornate, as her request during the design was to not make it gaudy like most higher-up formal attire, but it does have the element of gravitas that she needs from such an outfit.
The only common exception to either of these is when she is doing her daily physical training, or practice sparring with any of her soldiers, in which case she would wear simple, common clothing.

Equipment: While she can use nearly any weapon with a reasonable degree of effectiveness, Ariadne’s weapon of choice is a weighted metal quarterstaff. She also carries a pouch with several fist-sized, dense metal spheres, designed to be extremely sturdy even under massive pressure or after a large impact. The equipment she carries with her apart from her arms and armor depends on what she needs to get done, and she has a very large variety of hand-picked and tested equipment for basically any excursion.

Magic: Force Magic: The ability to exert and manipulate forces.

Retinue:

History: Although it was a very small part of the twins’ young life that was rough, it was a part that stuck with Ariadne more than she would have liked. Before their invitation to live in the palace, and a bit after as well, the negative emotions that were directed at them set off two things in the young elf. One, a feeling that she had to prove she wasn’t somehow worse than everyone else, and two, a desire to make sure her family, those she cared about, could live without such issues.

Both of these feelings persisted through into her adult life. Taking a position that seemed useless, throwing everything she had into making the military a functioning force; that was her answer. It wasn’t until she had adopted the position, however, that she realized just how badly off it was. Most of it was absolutely useless, and even the parts that were active and therefore better weren’t always in a good spot. Cleaning up everything was a lot of work, and would continue to be thus up until the current day, but it was in this work that she found a greater love for her kingdom and her people, and those under her command and those she had sworn herself to protect would always come before all else.

Other: I almost certainly forgot something in here.

((Pink - There are a few issues with your sheet.

1. The references to an uncle who can see the future and predict his destiny. Even if said character is supposed to be dead by now, I'm not comfortable with that sort of magic being in this RP.

2. His magic is a bit too powerful, even by the standards of this RP. The ability to will dozens of dangerous magical creatures into existence from nothing, in his sleep, is too far. A summoning domain of magic could work, but it would need to be separate from the life domain - meaning without the various healing abilities and whatnot. And it would need to be toned down to the point that he can't summon magical armies, wreck entire cities, or permanently create new species.

3. The ability to create entire races of people is also something that can't be allowed. As far as anyone knows, only the god Aedus was able to do that.

4. The story of him delivering a child on his own in the palace is a bit far fetched. Even if he did somehow know what to do, there would have been others in earshot who would have taken notice and intervened before it could get to that point.

5. The "he is so powerful he needs to hold himself back" narrative is not something I'm personally comfortable with. In my experience this usually winds up meaning the character is always as powerful as the player needs him to be. Also it seems like you're framing him as being definitively more powerful than everyone else, which is something I'd like to avoid

6. Additionally - and this is partly on me for not clarifying - magic in this setting is not just a super dangerous and unstable power you suddenly have and must learn to control. Rather, the process is more like you suddenly find yourself with a small amount of power that is severely limited in what it can do. And the more you use it, the more you push the limits of what you are capable of until eventually you get to the point where you can be a walking terror on the battlefield or a bringer of miracles.))
