[OOC] Never Ending Battle ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

[PopeAlessandros]

This is a 1 x 1 RP between PopeAlessandros and AkiBlue, if you're not us, don't post. Also, M/M, don't like, don't read!

Base Idea: The knight has fought long and hard in the war, and now the war is won. As traditions dictate, he is now the chosen one to marry the next in line for the throne. His deeds in battle has earned him the right, and to turn down the tradition would shame not only him, but also the royal family. The only child of the king and queen, the crowned prince, is not eager to be married off like this, especially to the hero of a war he never supported, and while he begrudgingly agreed that traditions must be upheld, he is more than a little unsettled at the idea of marrying a complete stranger, and a fighter to boot. His own interest run more towards the magical aspects of the world, and he's convinced that a soldier would never understand him.

Setting and stuffs:

I see an old Japanese palace with the nice red pillars and that sweet roof design. Also, set. . . . .Set in the time before electricity, and in a land with non earth domestic an wild animals. Like the gaellahorses from Escaflowne, and the turtleducks from The Las Airbender and stuff like that :P I see my guy having a pet. . . .Something he keeps with him that often pesters your guy. I seee. . .Large gardens, and the palace is set against a huge forest, whole in front is a stretch of forest with a plain on the other side. I see a large stone walkway and rock garden leading up to the steps that take you to the big front doors. I see these people as humans, no extras save for the magic, and magic being common enough that it is an actual field of study. Also see them not having a problem with two guys marrying since they don't 100% rely on the bloodline thing. Our guys could adopt and everyone would be fine with it.

I see my guy having a hard time adjusting, even if he wants to, and having his "Friends" visit, making remarks about the prince in non too polite a manner.

You are on the plains, then you enter a thick line of trees. The path is twisted and dark, but not too long. Once on the other side the land opens up and you are on a wide stone path leading up to a long set of stairs leading to a big black set of doors with beautiful carving and metal studs. The walls are the traditional bottom half stone, top half paper windows, and above that a classic dark green Japanese roof. It is two stories high, with a few towers, one for each corner, and this is where the royalty sleeps. The palace is a perfect square, with a huge garden in the middle open to the sky, and several smaller ones here and there both inside and out. The back part of the palace runs right up against the forest, and some of it's branches hang over the roof.

Small pet that hides in a pocket or something. Like a ferret.

I dunno, I like how is. I was just thinking that some of the gardens had koi pools because those are nice. And the Prince's tower would be in the back. . .right. Back right, yush.

To no longer being a soldier and the like. Also, he never thought he'd be the hero, so, marrying the prince!? Oh boy, now he has to learn to "Be royalty".

He probably has kind parents, though strict when it comes to tradition. . . And he himself is allowed to study magic. What's the basis of magic in this era?

Elemental, the six basics with potential for the sub groupings. Fire, water, earth, air, light, and dark.

Transportation just like horseback and carriages, since we are reversing in time. And turtle cars. . .

I see the Prince not too much of a shut in, but is kept inside for his safety often. Maybe because of the fear of the war and possible assassins? Maybe?

I see the village being a bit spread out, maybe having several crop and animal farms so the country will be more self sufficient.

There's a central part, where all the shops and most of the homes are, with the farms spreading out for miles around.

Any other place to add in the mix? 'Nother palace, secret hiding place in the forest behind the castle? Oh wait- I could do that. Hrm. . . Etc?

Okay, think in shapes. Palace is in a clearing in a forest in the shape of a rectangle. In the front the forest is not too deep and leads to open plane, of to the sides the forest stretches on for a while, one side leadning to a mountain side, the other a great river, more forest, then a plane, and behind the palace is a very thick, very huge, forest. So! The village would be a few miles away from the front of the palace with the open plane between the palace and the village.

Main -

Akito Moranaga

Name: Akito Muranaga

Race: Human

Age: 23

Height: 5' 6”

Weight: Average :P

Hair: Waist length, black, silky, normally kept in a high pony, bangs left loose and parted in the middle.

Eyes: Black.

Skin: Fair, but with a slight tan from training out of doors.

Build: Stocky, kinda thicker than average like most warriors, but with a swordsman trim to his figure. No bulging muscles, but a toned body.

Clothes: Traditional light blue Kimono with black hakama pants to show his rank, with a matching light blue haori he wears for special occasions and white obi.

Accessories: Sword and sheath worn on the left side. Sheath is a deep red with the symbol for his house carved into it: The many tailed fox. It also has a few nicks and signs of wear and tear from battle.

Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Swordmaster and stealth expert.

General Personality: Akito was shy as a child, almost to a fault, and he still is, in a way, he's just good at hiding it. He's not very outspoken, but when he has an idea he thinks is good he will fight for it to get heard no matter what. He's quiet and unassuming, and other than his fellow soldiers isn't good in crowds. He has a very gentle nature, not really suited for a warrior, however his passion for protecting his homeland is unparalleled. He enjoys quiet, and will often sneak away to find it.

Background: Born in a small village that was destroyed by invaders not long afterwords. After being relocated to a new village he lived there for several years, not impressing anyone, doing his chores, and spending many hours away in the woods or far up river. It was one of these trips that saved him from yet another raid, but in this one, he lost his parents. When he returned to find the wreckage still in flames, he fled without so much a tear shed. He did not weep for his loss until he was safe and sound in an encampment of the imperial army, given shelter by the captain. He rode with them, having nowhere else to go, and was adopted officially a year later, after the party responsible for his parent's murder was wiped out.

He joined the order as soon as he was able, having trained with his father and the other soldiers since his adopted father could not give up the job just because he had a son, and the captain himself did not have a permanent home to send him to. They would often joke that they were simply a pair of orphans who managed to find one another. As he was always with the troops they became his family and he became quite a talented soldier. Only a few could rival him with the blade, and no one could come anywhere near matching his stealth. He did not however develop the blood lust that a lot of the life long soldiers tended to, instead retaining his love of nature, art, and animals.

On his fifteenth birthday he received a baby Audrat one of the soldiers found while hunting for dinner. Akito raised the infant and eventually it became an invaluable asset to the young man. It's thin ferret like body made it easy to slip through small cracks, while it's almost feline claws and head made it a formidable weapon. It was also key in the mission that made him the hero of the war. After the war was won he went to the ceremony where great deed were honored to support his father and his fellows, and was absolutely floored by the announcement that he would be the one to wed the prince. Knowing that it is for his people, and it would make his father proud, he did not question nor deny the arrangement, however he is at a complete loss for how to proceed.

Race: Human

Age: 21

Weight: Wouldn't you like to know

Hair: Slightly above shoulder length, shaggy jet black hair

Eyes: Brown

Skin: Tanned skin from being in the sun a lot.

Build: Slender

Clothes: 'Edo, feudal lord garb' - As a prince, he wears the traditional haori and hakama. The style itself is often flashy and bright to signify his status. He enjoys deep red and gold colors. He doesn't wear shoes often, unless he has to go out of the kingdom.

Accessories: Mainly for festivities, he may wear accessories. Often, to keep his hair out of his face, he may wear a red headband or tie his hair back.

Powers/Skills(If Applicable): He studies magic, the basic six elements. He's accomplished creating light and fire the best.

General Personality: Most would consider him as a regular prince. He's well behaved and kind to the people. He's a relatively calm person although a bit stubborn at times, especially when he can't get things his way. The one thing that truly fascinates him is his studies in the elements. Not having many friends or any at all, he's fine with being alone for periods of time. His servants are always around so it's no big deal to him.

Background: Hiro is the first and only son of the royal Saito family. His mother was incapable of giving birth after the first, and because of such, his parents dubbed him as a 'miracle child'. Being such a miracle, they do their best to keep him safe and happy without locking him away from the world. Occasionally, the two slip up and do exactly this, but it's only because they worry so much. The three live a normal royal life, well until recently when his parents told him that he was to be married. Now, he and his parents have been bumping heads a little more lately.

Set Ideas

Oh, at some point, I see them fighting and something making Akito snap and pin/throw Hiro to the ground or something. A moment where Hiro seems to have forgotten that though he may appear shy, he's killed a lot of people.
I see it startling Hiro, maybe(hopefully) even scaring him to add some drama.
My first vision was him grabbing Hiro-kun's neck, which could still happen, but that would be an extreme moment.
I was thinking it could be a little time later, when Akito feels Hiro may be trusting him in a meaningful way, and he brings up his concerns over the activities of some of the servants. And in true prince fashion he hasn't seen any odd behavior or paid attention to the servants enough to realize some are acting weird and calls Akito a warmonger or something. "Just looking for a new enemy to attack unjustly" or something like that. Maybe have this chat happen a day or so after a fight about wars themselves.
