I'm definitely still interested! I'm not sure if I'll have the same character or a different one. Roughly the same idea with the personality and such.
@HushedWhispers
Oh yeah, just a note, I think I've found a pretty good face claim. One more question, is it Slibah or Sliabh?
Rad. I'll get right to this CS then.
I think I will probably start working on the Princess of Slibah, we'll see how long that CS takes to write
Edit: @HushedWhispers do you mind helping me for the pictures? I don't really watch many tv shows that aren't animated so that makes it difficult to know where to start ^^" Planning to make the character around 15, no specific appearance in mind
So excited to see this finally up! I'll definitely be going for the same slot as King of Abhainn again - I'm on mobile now so I'll submit the character sheet in a bit.
King Maddox Auclair
{ "No treaty will eclipse the obligation I have to my ancestors and to my people." }
| Name |Maddox Kirc Auclair
| Nickname |Close companions, and his father especially, took to calling him "Madd" as a boy, and the nickname has stuck. However, the importance of his title usually trumps all nicknames now.
| Age |Twenty-nine
| Gender |Male
| Sexuality |Bisexual
| Kingdom |Abhainn
| Alliance |His loyalty is to the Kingdom of Abhainn and, more importantly, himself.
| In Depth Appearance |Maddox has an appearance that, at the very least, can be described as quite average. He stands around six feet, one inch and weighs something like one hundred and seventy pounds. He is well-built, toned from years of swordplay and hunting. He has light hair, kept short, and dazzling blue eyes that crinkle whenever he smiles. Maddox often keeps his chin and cheeks slightly stubbled, and he has been known to let a slight beard grow on his chin and along his jawline. He has very few scars, having never seen a real battle, but he does bear a light scar along his left cheek from a blade that went astray. As his role requires, he dresses well in dark shades of reds and purples, colors that symbolize royalty.
| Habits |Taps Feet || As a notoriously restless man, Maddox often taps his foot or bounces his leg as a means of subconsciously conveying his boredom to those assembled.
Deep Thought || Maddox is known for his intense expressions of thought including furrowing his brow, chewing on the inside of his cheek, and running his hand along his chin.
| Hobbies |Sparring || He is often found sparring in the courtyard to improve his swordsmanship, though he is often to easily frustrated to be much good.
Riding || When swordplay grows tedious, he will escape the castle to ride through the forests or hunt.
Games of Strategy || If the weather is poor, he can often be found playing out hypothetical battles on his war table.
| Likes |Adventure || Maddox likes to be out and about, always looking to do something new and push himself.
Knowledge || Though he often has little time for sitting about and reading, Maddox does love to know as much as he can, increasing his repertoire.
Dogs || He has loved his hounds since childhood and often takes them out when he rides, believing them to be more loyal than any man or woman.
Power || Maddox craves power, and when he has it, he clings on to it desperately, afraid it may be taken from him at any moment.
Ale & Wine || Though not yet a drunkard, Maddox is certainly on his way towards such a fate given the amount of alcohol he consumes. In recent years, having taken the throne, he has begun to limit his consumption so that he may rule more effectively.
Music || One of his lesser known passions is music, though he has never been much good at performing. However, he does love to listen to it especially to unwind.
| Dislikes |Being Wrong || Nothing spoils Maddox's day like being shown he is incorrect.
Boredom || He grows restless when he has no outlet for his energy, and it often fouls his mood.
Arrogance || Though it is quite hypocritical of him to say, Maddox detests those who think of themselves as better than others.
Defeat || He detests any instance in which he comes out the "loser". He quickly grows angry afterwards, acting rashly in response.
Having His Choices Made for Him || He still retains distaste for his father for arranging his marriage and ending the war. Spoiled as he is, he hates when he has no say in important matters.
Insubordination || Disrespect is guaranteed to cause Maddox's blood to boil, as he feels his rank entitles him to unquestioned loyalty from his subjects.
| Fears |Death || Maddox's greatest fear is death. He hopes to prove himself as a capable leader, but he worries that an early death in anything but battle will cause him to go down in history as a weak king.
Cats || He has a very intense fear of cats, for his mother had one than often lashed out at him as a boy.
Open Water || Having never learned to swim, Maddox fears lakes and oceans and the fact that he could drown.
| Personality |Maddox is a man who has grown up wanting very little in his entire life except the approval of his mother and father. He comes off as spoiled and bratty, which certainly isn't wrong. He often acts will little regard for the consequences of his actions, even though if he thought his choice through more carefully, he certainly would be more capable of better decisions. Maddox is quick to anger, and he releases his anger verbally with hardly any filter.
It is a shame, for Maddox certainly would have an intelligence to rival any opponent if only he were to tame his anger. He is also quite immature, which does not help his thought process. Maddox views war as nothing more than a large game with high stakes. He is a risk taker through and through.
Still, Maddox is well-spoken from years of being tutored to take over Abhainn. He knows much in the ways of the history of the two kingdoms. He craves a challenge in every day life, though he certainly still grows frustrated with any opponent, animate or not, that he can not overcome. His ambition is startling, for when he is knocked down, he comes back stronger and more determined than before.
| Background |Scandal has followed Maddox as long as he has known life. He was born to King Frederick the Sixth by a mistress, though attempts were made to pass the boy off as the Queen's true born son. These lies lasted very briefly, for it was quite common knowledge that Frederick's wife was infertile, unable to provide him the heir he needed to continue the line of royalty in Abhainn. While his "mother" never grew to accept the bastard child, Maddox received Frederick's full attention. As such, he was spoiled despite his father's efforts to instill leadership and wisdom in the boy. As Maddox grew up in a war-ravaged country, he became fascinated with the conflict. Often, returning knights would find him running after their horses, begging for a report of the situation.
His father urged the boy to focus his passion into his studies, and though Maddox was reluctant at first, he eventually grew to love studying history, the tales of soldiers and their kings who fought valiantly for Abhainn. Maddox was in his teens when his father announced the plans for the treaty that would end the war and unite the kingdoms through marriage. The boy shut down, growing distant and gloomy as his past time was snatched out from under him.
Maddox channeled his frustration into drinking and sleeping around. Perhaps his apathy was what drove Frederick to the grave when Maddox was twenty-four. He was coronated shortly after, ascending to his father's throne as he had been expected to do since infancy. In recent years, he has certainly grown more lively and interested in his studies, perhaps preparing himself for something greater.

@HushedWhispers Ah thank you Anna Poppewell was perfect :)
And here is my finished character sheet! The background isn't amazing but hopefully it's fine ^^"Princess Elaisse of Slibah
{ βI will follow what I am told to do, but I only hope it does not ruin my life.β }
| Name |Elaisse Aiora ?? of Slibah
| Nickname |Ela, El
| Age |15
| Gender |Female
| Sexuality |Bisexual
| Kingdom |Slibah
| Alliance |To Slibah, and the current King of Slibah
| In Depth Appearance |Standing at 5β2β Elaisse is relatively short. She could certainly be described as pretty, if not necessarily beautiful β but she has a year or two to grow into that. She is slender with slight curves. Nothing particularly special there. Her hair is a dark brown and wavy. It falls to midway down her back where she most often lets it sit loose with only a few sections pulled back. Ela has light blue-grey eyes that complement her dark hair well. She will always be found wearing dresses, mostly in elegant designs suited to her rank. However sometimes she will wear something simpler if an activity requires it.
| Habits |Fiddling with hair
Smoothing out her skirts
Rubbing her cheek, especially when talking
Picking at her hands and skin
| Hobbies |Calligraphy
Embroidery / Needlework
Playing the Harp
Reading
Chess
Art
| Likes |Sketching and Writing
Walks
Company of Small Groups
Collecting Flowers and Plants
Music
Libraries and Books
| Dislikes |Large Congregations of People
Arguments and Fighting
Dancing
The Cold
High Places
| Fears |Crowds
Strangers
Losing everything
Direct Confrontation
| Personality |Elaisse is softly spoken, often more in the background than at the forefront of any conversation. She prefers the company of only a few people and struggles with larger groups β which can be difficult considering her status. Though shy Elaisse is quite friendly and finds it quite easy to get along with people. This is maybe partly down to how easy-going and agreeable she is. Even though she can struggle to talk in certain situations Ela always tries to be polite.
When she is in her element Elaisse will open up a bit. Though mature for her age of fifteen she is bright and cheerful when doing the things she enjoys more. When with family or others she knows well she is quite animate, finding it easier to talk. She is quite emotional and struggles to not let her emotions show even when it would be better to hide them.
As a Princess, Ela doesnβt exactly act spoiled β however she is definitely naΓ―ve. She knows very little of the life outside her own. What she does know is from the books she loves to bury herself in. While smart she is also quite innocent which means it is quite easy to take advantage of her. However, she is quick to learn. She is also very far from ambitious. If anything Ela is the opposite; she will follow those that she is loyal to without questioning it. She doesnβt have much will of her own out with of a wish to live a peaceful life. Though she is slowly beginning to grow more confident with the thought of voicing her own opinions as opposed to being entirely passive.
| Background |The daughter of the current King and Queen of Slibah, Elaisse grew up want for nothing. Her life so far has been an easy one. She spent her time devoutly studying to be a Princess, and future wife of some noble. She picked up most things easily enough, not minding needlework or music. Some others she struggled with, such as dancing. Even as a younger child she enjoyed sketching, using a quill and ink to draw some kind of random design β quite often around letters.
Ela didnβt spend much time with those outside of her family or a few noble ladies closer to her age often. Out with of the required social gatherings she tended to keep more to herself. As a result she managed to avoid most kinds of gossip and scandal. She is unlikely to get involved in anything romantic until marriage, which is something that works perfectly fine for her.
Not much has happened in her fifteen years of life, sheltered as she was from the war and other happenings. It is not something she is particularly looking to change anytime soon.
| Extra |Uhh Middle Ages I guess
I think I'm going to try to craft a whole new character. I liked my character before, but I don't think that Filthy Mudblood will be joining judging from her inactivity, unfortunately :( therefore, the feud is no longer there... But! I may make a new King-obsessed character!
<Snipped quote by Lionhearted>
You can rival with my character. :)

Prince Jaxton of Slibah
{ "I don't get how we can't just let go of our past. Shouldn't we have already learned that war brings nothing but destruction?" }
| Name |Jaxton James {Last name to be added} of Slibah
| Nickname |Jax, to friends. James, to family.
| Age |17
| Gender |Male
| Sexuality |Asexual
| Kingdom |Slibah
| Alliance |Jaxton sides with Slibah, as it is his kingdom. However, this doesn't mean that he is closed off to the idea of the two kingdoms being in an alliance - in fact, he welcomes it and will do nearly anything to keep the peace between the kingdoms.
| In Depth Appearance |Jaxton stands at a height of 5'9" and he's still growing. He weighs rather averagely but he does have a conditioned body thanks to training daily for self-defense. He stands up properly, of course, and exudes an aura of confidence - just like what any royal should be. He has brown, curly hair and dark brown eyes that usually sparkles with a certain hint of mischievousness every now and then.
He tends to wear anything that is laid out for him. He doesn't mind if he has to weary stuffy royal suits or just simple silken clothing. In fact, Jaxton is kind of curious about commoner clothing as well but knows that his parents would never allow him to wear something like that in public. He seems to like simple clothing though whenever he does have a choice and doesn't have to keep up appearances. He wears a silver pendant around his neck that he personally had made.
| Habits |
- Jaxton tends to rub his pendant whenever he begins to become uncomfortable in a discussion.
- He taps his leg whenever he becomes anxious, especially if he becomes impatient about something.
- Jaxton's eyes tend to wander whenever he talks to someone - from the area surrounding them to the person themselves. He seems to avoid eye contact as much as possible.
- He tends to ramble when he gets too excited.
| Hobbies |
- Swordsmanship
- Jogging
- Singing
- Horseback Riding
| Likes |
- Sword fighting
- Physical Activities
- His family
- Relative Peace
- Interacting with people
- Having fun
| Dislikes |
- The idea that he has to rule someday
- Fighting
- War
- People getting hurt
- Being lonely
| Fears |
- He's scared of losing any of his family. If not their lives then he's afraid of them losing their trust in him.
- He fears that the relationship will continually devolve and end up in another war.
- He's an insecure person thanks to advisors tending to talk about him negatively as a royal so he fears that he will never be up to the expectations of the people around him.
| Personality |Jaxton is a kind and caring person, especially towards his family. There are little things he wouldn't do for his family. Even so, he's a very opinionated man and isn't afraid to speak what is in his mind even if it would end up with him being in trouble. Since he's the kind of person who actually wants everyone to get along since he fears another war is coming, one can easily see how being opinionated and fearless can be troubling. However, this doesn't seem to bother Jaxton at all as whenever anyone would blow up at him, thinking that he had his head in the clouds, he would just go to run or train so that he can keep his cool. When he finds himself in disagreements with his family, he would often just shut up about it. However, it's assured that he would bring it up soon after.
He goes a mile and an extra for the people around him. He's selfless, to a fault. Jaxton rarely thinks about himself. He thinks that the ideal king is someone who thinks about his people first before his own personal needs. While this does seem to be a great mindset, the world isn't as black and white as he thinks it is. He is aware of this but he delusions himself that the world is a better place than it really is. Honestly, it only makes it all the more obvious that he isn't ready to rule. There has been talk around that the crown would actually go to his sister, and he hasn't shown to be bothered by it very much.
He usually is a calm person and very hard to anger because he's such an optimistic lad. However, when he does become angry, he really does lose everything and he flies off the handle. Jaxton usually regrets it afterwards and tries to apologize, but what he has said cannot be taken back so easily. He tries to be as trusting as possible, but he finds that he is starting to lose the ability to trust anyone aside from his family. It saddens him greatly to think that he is falling into the cynical world which he finds horrible because it simply means that he can't change anything.
| Background |Jaxton was the firstborn of the current king and queen of Slibah. This came with a lot of responsibilities - more than he wanted. He was taught etiquette and politics from a young age. History was one of his strongest suits when it came to his private tutoring and he knew well the effects of the war that was brought upon by their ancestors. This was the reason why he feels so strongly about the alliance. This was when he started to like the idea of actually being allied to Abhainn. While it was all well and good at first, as he only had the best intentions in mind, it soon became obvious that he fails in a lot of aspects in being a king. First and foremost, while he is open-minded, he doesn't seem to think up of solutions to problems quickly. He's rather indecisive, especially when it is an urgent matter - among many things. This was what led to most of the advisors to the royal family to think that maybe he wasn't fit for the crown, no matter how hard he tried to prove himself.
In the process of him growing up, Jaxton had tried his best to live up to the expectations of his parents and everyone else around him. However, he found other interests in life aside from becoming the king and ruling. He found admiration in swordsmanship, which he now trains daily in. When he wants to be alone, he usually takes his horse and rides off to another part of the land just to get away from everyone else. He has met countless people in his escapades, usually people who tend to wander around. He's made friends with these commoners but he never told anyone that he has come into contact with anyone else while he was out. He knew that he would get in trouble because of his carelessness, but hearing their subject's voices had always been a pleasure to him.
| Extra |- His horse is named Shadow
- Hm... I've never had a favorite time period so I'll just go with the post-modern period.

Do you want to talk about how the two get along considering they are siblings and all?
