Heir Name:Prince Moros XIII
Common Name: Shin
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Weapon/Abilities: Shin wields a blade titled
"King Eater", the sword traditionally held by the greatest men of his dynasty. It is a sword that can grant incredible, superhuman, even demigod-like power, from amazing strength, powerful endurance, the quickest reflexes possible and myths even state that it can grant magical abilities unknown to most men of his world. No one knows from where the sword came, only that it has an unwritten history that stretches back further than any kingdom of man. In the past, it was used to decimate armies and break sieges, though in this age of apparent peace, it has fallen into disuse. One might wonder why, with such power, and only those who carry it or are destined to carry know the answer.
The answer lays in the curse the sword carries, for it gives great power, but demands the most important part of the wielder; their heart. Power can be given at the will of the user, but the more power that is given, the more of the heart is taken. The heart is only given back when the sword is allowed to consume a heart by killing something with its own heart. Whether this is a human being, still with light in their heart, a heartless, the manifestation of a heart conquered by darkness, or anything else bearing a heart, it must be killed for the sword to return the taken parts of the wielder's heart. Too long without killing will also make the King Eater consume the heart, if it's currently giving power.
Shin, being quite handy with a sword and quite a few styles of swordsmanship, which he synthesizes into his own style, wields this sword in a proud manner, though he isn't afraid of making use of its powers to give him a boost in battle, even if the full extent of its abilities is actually unknown to him. He's also fairly good at unarmed combat, knowing a few throws and he knows how to give a good punch as well. However, he has only a passing level of knowledge of magic, for in his world, it is a power reserved for when he would have become king. To heal himself, he relies on a decent knowledge of first aid and field medicine and frequently, he leans on King Eater to help him recover in battle.
What he lacks in pure strength, he makes up for in reflexes and agility, choosing more often to dodge attacks than block them, unless it's totally necessary. Putting him into a situation where he needs to block is his Achille's Heel, as often times, Shin is unable to parry.
Personality: As former heir to the throne, Shin appears to be a respectful, honorable and serious young man. He is well-educated and groomed in the image of a great king so that he might one day inherit the kingdom and rule over it benevolently, though with an iron fist. Polite to those who make themselves superior to him, his upbringing is easily visible in every action he makes, from the way he walks in public, to the way he eats at feasts, to the way he sips his coffee after a meal, to the way he carries his sword and himself; the list goes on and on, he is the spitting image of prince, an exemplary image of royalty and the ideas of chivalry he was raised on, perfectly happy to help anyone who asks for his assistance, and kindly giving to those with less than him. On the contrary, though, many people get a cold gaze from his clear blue eyes.
This trait is antithetical to the trues feelings within him, as within his heart, an ambition like none other burns, giving him a push in everything he does. Rash and yet tactical, though he may give services to others, to him, these are only secondary objectives compared to his greatest ambition, every action he takes is for his own gain. This doesn't change the fact that there may actually exist a certain kindness in him, but it is smothered by his violent drive for glory, bred by years of degradation at the hands of those he believed he could trust the most. Due to this, mercy is a concept nearly unknown to him, though it could certainly grow within him.
Shin is smart, he chooses his battles and though he may appear to be a wanderer, an exile from the kingdom he was meant to be the powerful ruler of, he doesn't walk blindly, seeking ahead of him and being more than ready to do what is necessary to achieve his greatest goal, no matter the price.
Bio: When this story begins, eighteen years ago to this very day, Crown Prince Moros XIII was born to king Tromeros I, the firstborn son of this elderly king. Though he had been on the throne for many years, Tromeros had only chosen to build his family at an old age, after years of cementing the royal power once and for all, even in an age of peace. Moros would inherit this power and would rule over a kingdom that both feared and adored a king who was considered divine and benevolent, but unquestionable and tyrannical, sitting the throne with the sanguine blade King Eater at his side. As such, Moros was raised in the best conditions through his childhood, already playing the king among the children in their games. He was pampered and educated by the greatest tutors of the realm and he was adored by the nation and by his parents.
This changed when he was barely twelve years old, upon the death of his mother and the beginning of the slow descent into insanity by his father. In the days that came, among mourning and sour treatment of Moros by those around him due the general atmosphere, he saw more and more often King Eater drenched in the blood of those who angered King Tromeros. Suddenly unsatisfied with his only child, Tromeros decided one day out of the blue to adopt the child of one of his cousins who had died at his own blade. This child,
Erebos, was older than Moros and thus took his place as Crown Prince. Moros was given the common name of Shin, as it was decided that he would never take the throne and soon he found the court turned on him. His father blamed him for the death of his mother, even if he had nothing to do with it, his tutors treated him like an imbecile and he became the toy of his older brother, Erebos, who had taken his place in every matter. Though Shin was still trained in the arts of swordsmanship and combat, he was considered less than a servant and every day became a sort of torture to him. His only goal became to take the throne for himself and be where he rightfully belonged, though it was totally unknown to him how he could do it.
Thus, he dived into the castle archives and looked for any way he could find power. Written in old, ancient books, he found the true power of King Eater, unknown to Erebos and his father, but he realized that if he killed either, he would be declared an usurper and a kinslayer and he would never have the power he desired and deserved. He would have to keep looking and he kept looking, day after day, until he made a discovery within the oldest of tomes, a log of the building of the old castle he had lived in all his life. Deep within the most antediluvian corridors of the citadel, there was a portal to another world. This linked him to another book, which revealed to him the existence of countless other worlds, some similar to his and some totally unlike his. And within these worlds, there lived beasts and beings that made the most powerful beast of his world look like a kitten in comparison. Shin hatched a plan in secret.
Taking King Eater from his father, now infirm and with Erebos soon to take the throne, he would escape into another world and he would adventure through these worlds to slay and claim the power of not only the greatest beast that could ever possibly be known, not only the greatest living being, but something even greater. Days later, on this present day, he would step through that portal with guards on his trail with one ambition in mind:
He was going to kill a god.
