Character You Are Using: Aditya Je'kal
Aliases: “the Crown Prince of the Ali'tian Empire”
Appearance: Aditya keeps his dirty blonde hair short cropped and generally neat in appearance. If the length reaches his shoulders, he gets a trim. His eyes are dark blue and piercing. An object of his stare might believe his eyes to be piercing his or her very soul. His skin is very fair and smooth. It appears as though he has not worked a day in his life or exerted himself in anyway. He is strong, as strong as a 190 year old elf should be, but his physical strength is not exceptional by any means; more average. His agility on the other hand is considered excellent and has aided him in his youth in winning several sporting events with other elves in his age group.
Aditya typically wears white undergarments; trousers and a blouse cinched up by a leather belt at the waist. His footwear consists of either a mid-calf soft leather boot with fur at the top and small tassels or poms at the rear of the boot or a knee-high black hard leather boot used for riding. He also has a pair of soft leather sandals, similar to moccasins that he wears around the palace. He wears a golden necklace depicting the sigil of his father's family. It is a symbol of
an eagle in flight. Aditya generally wears either a red or dark purple tunic over the white under blouse and then a violet robe with or without a hood over this attire.
When he goes into battle, which has happened on a few occasions, he has a full set of layered steel armor. His arms, chest, hips and lower legs are covered by the layered steel armor. His back, thighs, groin and neck are covered by mail armor. He wears a pointed steel helm with a mail skirt at the rear of the helm to protect the back of his neck. The layered armor allows him to move freely and improve agility when dressed in armor. Many of the pieces of his armor are adorned with red and gold colored silk for ornamental purposes.
Speech Color: White
Personality: Aditya is selfish, pompous and arrogant. He is intelligent to the point where he knows to listen to his advisors, but will always seek glory; attempting to triumph his name whenever possible. Aditya seeks to build a glorious reputation for himself as not only a skilled warrior, but as a talented leader of Elven warriors. The only times Aditya is generous is when it serves his own purpose. He would never miss an opportunity to boast his accomplishments.
He is filled with self confidence and believes all lesser mortals should bow down to him. He is the premier eminence in every room he enters. Only those people of equal station may address him. Aditya hates humans. He doesn’t care for dwarves either.
Strengths: Skilled diplomat, excellent horseman and good skill with the bow.
Weaknesses: his own arrogance creates an air of hostility amongst those he mistreats.
History/Brief Bio: Aditya worships his father, Adrastos Je'kal as most sons do, but the casual observer may not detect a few differences between the two. Aditya admires his father's power, intelligence, diplomatic skills, generosity, martial prowess and his bearing.
Aditya passionately hates humans especially the Northern Khar variant. He does not care for dwarves or the southern Norivanian humans. He is however curious about the Oolarg from Mallik and would like to learn more about them. They are very reclusive, which only piques his interest.
Although he passionately hates the humans in the North, he tolerates his father's position. It would be a lie to say he is not waiting for the day when his father passes the crown to him, but he is in no hurry to have his father assassinated. He remains devoutly loyal to his father. He would never consider committing patricide or contracting someone else to do it for him. He does love his father.
It is known in the north that Aditya does not share his father's compassion for the Northmen. For those in the North who appreciate the tentative peace, they remain silent, not wanting to upset the delicate relations with the Elves. For those men desiring a return to troubled days when warriors swept down from the frozen north and raided the Elven forests, this could be an opportunity to return the world to the way things used to be. Their lust for battle may be renewed with the son elevated to the Ali'tian Throne.
Aditya believes the Elves are racially superior to humans and dwarves. Half-Elves; those of mixed bloodlines are scum, something to be scraped off ones boot before stepping inside a dwelling. Half-Elves do not deserve to be at court let alone hold any positions of responsibility.
Aditya has not yet bound with a dragon hatchling. During the preceding Dragon moon festivities, Aditya was stricken with an ailment that had him bed ridden. He was forced to remain in bed with a fever. The illness weakened him physically and made him delirious. He was near death during this illness, but his constitution and desire to live pulled him through.
Aditya has ridden horses since he was very young and is considered an excellent horseman. He also has trained on the use of the Elven Bow which he has acquired an exceptional skill level in its use. His bow of choice is an ornate Elven construction made from the finest Osage wood available in the Mörka Forest. This forest is located east of the Insjön Blod Lake. The Lake was at many times in the history of the Ali'tian and the men of the North reddened by the blood of both peoples.
Aditya did train on the use of the sword and acquired an above average skill level in its use. He has always preferred ranged or mounted combat over melee fighting. He has also begun training at the novice level on the use of natural magical arts. He can prepare a small sample of potion that provides a boost in energy to anyone who drinks it. Some have given it the name Aditya's energy drink. It does not provide a huge boost, but enough to overcome mild fatique, not enough to tip the scale in a fight toward the user.
The military leaders of his father's house have trained him in the Martial Arts of a Leader of men. He has studied complex engineering systems and understands basic tactics for maneuvering large formations of elves on the battlefield. He is a strong proponent for the combined arms techniques for integrating foot soldiers, heavy swordsmen, longbowmen, Light Rangers and mounted Dragon Riders in combat. He sees himself as a Mighty Elven Warrior King who will one day rule all of Khar, in a nation devoid of humans and dwarves.
Meticulous in appearance and attire, Aditya demands that the servants pay special attention to his clothing which is usually either white, red or dark violet in color. He becomes aggravated or seriously annoyed if his articles of clothing are not well taken care of.
Having never ridden a dragon, Aditya is secretly fearful about the experience. He would never express this feeling outward or say anything that might make him appear weak, but the fear does reside within. In that same breath, he is excited about the upcoming Blood Moon festivities. He has no idea what dragon will choose him. He knows it will happen. He has considered the various dragons and is kind of hoping for a black dragon to compliment his lithe agile abilities. He sees himself as a mounted archer toppling his enemies from the saddle wielding his Osage Bow.
Other: Aditya travels with his Valet, Arun Adrasta (age: 349) and his personal Body Guard Belanor Magris (age: 227).
