[hider=Prince Marwood of Renais] [img]http://oi845.photobucket.com/albums/ab14/Coolxxangel/abc.jpg[/img] Name: Marwood Sex: Male Class: Cavalier Starting Weapons: Reginleif, Steel Sword History: Magvel itself maintains it's many nations with all of them forming the council of Heros with Carcino being an exclusion to the countries age-old system. The nations maintain their own lines of royalty and vote on a leader of the council who holds the position for life. This council's leader speaks for the entire country before the rest of the Concilium. The Council of Heroes exists on Magvel because though the nations have many differences each nation was founded by a legendary hero from long ago and they respect the bonds those warriors forged together in hopes of peace. Magvel above all other things holds peace and stability in high regards, as such the council usually avoids being drawn into wars or trouble from distant allies as best it can. The youngest child of Queen of Renais, Marwood was her bundle of joy and baby of the family. She actually took the time to teach him to ride herself. As such he desires to make her proud yet at the same time with age came distance and difference. While his mother relies on codes and formal declarations Marwood is normally on his horse with a squad of knights by the time she starts issuing orders. This has caused much division between mother and son, with Marwood often leading knights into battle against bandits and other threats without having approval from his mother. Aside from that, he is good friends with the general's of his country, he often finds himself in their company or training with them. As a prince, he received a formal education and lessons in history, strategy, and etiquette. He threw away etiquette preferring to spend many a night out in villages or celebrating victories with his men. He even formed a special group of cavaliers that ride with him to villages and towns under assault, thus with almost all his training being done on horseback. Marwood and his unabashed love for his nation have caused trouble for the Queen in the past, with his tendency to cause head for battle without waiting for proper orders. Marwood and the Cavaliers of Renais have saved hundreds of lives by disobeying the command structure. Yet while hailed as heroes it troubles his mother that his free-form fighting is not proper of a prince. He has a history of being rather bold and challenging letting nothing stand between him and his moral compass, politics be damned. Thanks to a recent incident involving trouble with Jehanna mercenaries Marwood has been ordered to join the diplomatic group from Magvel. Also threats from his mother to marry him off to some princess and let them try to reign in his bravado. The brash Knight of Renais has been sent off, his other only hope the diplomats keep him in check so he doesn't cause a worse incident while abroad. Personality: Marwood is brash and unapologetically eager to protect and help those in need, while he upholds the standards of a Knight well his noble sensibilities are almost non-existent. He often ignores protocol or traditions in favor of whatever needs to be done getting done. Honest and forthright as well Marwood tries to make sure he is always doing the right thing, caring more about people than anything else he cannot stand by while they are in trouble. Other: An avid singer and storyteller Marwood spent his younger days sneaking out and telling singing and telling stories at the local tavern. He has secretly wanted to be a bard but royal duties prevent that and he also wishes to marry someone he loves rather than an arranged marriage like his mother has in mind, possibly to secure a new ally. He is a sucker for a good romance book, though he doesn't like people to know. He gets very nervous around girls and has never been good at discussing women. Princesses have scared him since boyhood when his mother began threatening to marry him off to one. [hider=A Classic] Erika and Seth from Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones by far my favorite game. [/hider] [/hider] My idea is that since Magvel is a rather peaceful continent in its history compared to others the nations simply maintained the individuality and the leaders of the countries send one of them forth to represent them all. Keeps Magvel diverse and different but also plays to the fact that they would a nation now that is unrepresented and might feel slighted by them for future problems.
