② How old is he?17/18 (HAHAH WAFFLING DUE TO STORY POINT)
③ Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well, or does he slouch?Alamhir carries himself in a relaxed but upright pose; aka, he doesn't slouch but he isn't overly rigid either.
④ How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?Healthy!!
⑤ How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?Despite being young he moves in a smooth, controlled fashion. Mostly due to a large amount of physical training.
⑥ How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?Alamhir has mixed feelings about his looks (TO SAY THE LEAST) and honestly doesn't think much of himself. Although he's above average in terms of attractiveness he has a difficult time getting over his insecurity in regards of just about anything to do with how he looks.
⑦ Describe his complexion: dark, light, clear, scarred?Originally fair, tanned to a golden brown over time spent in the desert.
⑧ Describe his hair: color, texture, style.Crimson red, cut short in a slightly tousled style, and smooth and silky to the touch.
⑨ What color are his eyes?Similarly red with vertical pupils.
⑩ Does the character have any other noteworthy features?Mostly just his eyes tbh.
⑪ What are his chief tension centers?Center of his back and hands. Hands are the best way to tell if he's tense or worried.
⑫ What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?Depends on where he is!! Because of the way he's being trained, despite being prince he wears utilitarian outfits and uniforms suited to the desert. Outside of the desert and back in his birth city he would wear more refined and 'princely' clothes.
⑬ Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?Yes and no. The style of where he lives usually includes more loose and flowing clothing so they can appear loose on him. Also he's growing still so sizing is weird.
⑭ Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?When not actively training in something he usually wears a simple tunic and pants with boots. When traveling he'll wear a cloak and headscarf over that.
⑮ You knew it was coming: what kind of underwear does he wear, if any?what kind of underwear does anyone wear in a fantasy setting >> top SPEECH① What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?ANSWER.
② How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?Alamhir is usually soft-spoken and calm. Not so quiet that he can't be heard but not usually loud or obnoxious. He used to be very anxious and spoke little, but he's gotten more confident with time.
③ Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?accent stuff that'd only be obvious to people from his setting tbh.
④ What language(s) does he speak and with how much fluency?He speaks his native Oralian tongue (go ahead and equate it with english) and his father's dialect, which is technically unnamed and called the djiani language as a placeholder.
⑤ Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?ALL THE TIME. He's still learning his father's native tongue so he speaks it as often as he can, but also switches back into his birth language because he's familiar with it and is afraid of losing touch with it. It's also useful if he doesn't want to be understood/overheard.
⑥ Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?Definitely has to think before he speaks. He's gotten better at dealing with the unexpected but he can still get thrown off in a bad situation.
⑦ Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?Uhhh, he tries to be casual but he's always polite. He can and will use more 'royal' language but he actively tries NOT to when he doesn't need to. Being personable is an important thing to him. Being pompous just makes him feel like an ass. >> top EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL① How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?Book-smart. Sort of. Book-smart plus 'i'm being forced to train with the lowest level of soldiers until i climb to the top' smart.
② Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?Deliberate!! He leaves the impulsive stuff to Shavi and his other friends tbh.
③ Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?Alamhir is kind. It's that simple. He wants good things for himself, his friends, his family, and his people. Unfortunately he can't really live up to that- it's just the ideal he wants to strive for. So, Alamhir's always looking for the bright side of any bad situation. He's competent, thoughtful, but not overly trusting. So while he might want to expect the best of someone, that everyone will be nice and agree with him, he's not stupid enough to think that'll always be the case. Despite being in training in what is the equivilent of a knight or other elite soldier, violence is the final straw for him. He's the type that if you make him angry you fucked up, since he doesn't like to be angry and when he is he means it. As a young boy he was victimized and bullied, physically and not, so he always has that experience to look back to reflect on how he thinks and behaves as he grows.
④ What kind of education has the character had?Alamhir recieved a royal education from various tutors as a child and by the age of thirteen he had begun his training by djiani instructors in combat, survival, among other things- plus djiani diplomacy and language by his father and others. SO UH, a lot. This shit's been poured into his brain since he was a babby.
⑤ What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?Alamhir's an all-rounder because he has to be. His biggest hole in terms of training is magic since he's unable to use it, although he still tried to learn what he could. He really likes to learn and understand mythologies or religion, even if he doesn't believe in it. He's scholarly in general so he likes to learn.
⑥ Is he an introvert or an extrovert?hahahahah INTROVERT.
⑦ Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered, or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholic? Laid-back or driven?He always tries to stay calm and level-headed. He firmly believes he can get a lot farther without relying on his emotions/temper. He's driven and optimistic, but also thoughtful and prone to worry.
⑧ How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?oh boy.
⑨ Is he more likely to act or to react?Act.
⑩ Which is his default: fight or flight?Flight when he was younger, fight now.
⑪ Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?Alamhir has an easy sense of humor even though he doesn't seem like the type. He likes sarcasm and more subtle humor, as well as overly obvious and obnoxious humor. He's not the type to say jokes or pull pranks himself (although he's been pulled into them) but yeah. Even if he can't always show he's laughing he likes to get amusement where he can (his dad is Super Serious so if he gets too into a joke in public he gets embarrassed).
⑫ Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If so, how does he deal with them?mmmmmmmmaybe anxiety. Things have gotten better with time.
⑬ What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?Discovering he's incapable of using magic (a Big Thing in Oralian society), meeting his father, beginning his training...
⑭ What does he fear?Failure. Disappointing others. Being hated for who is he. He's the child of two different races and kingdoms, so it comes with a lot of baggage, all of which he's suffered for.
⑮ What are his hopes or aspirations?To unite the djiani people and people of Oralia. YANNO NOTHING BIG.
⑯ What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?HAHAHAHAH that he's super gay and has a boyfriend, whoops >> top RELATIONSHIPS① Describe this character's relationship with his parents.Uhhh complicated and based mostly on duty/sense of duty. He's aware his birth was purposefully orchestrated and wasn't out of love or anything like that, but he tries not to be resentful about it (and usually succeeds). He cares about them but is overall closer to his mother.
② Does the character have any siblings? What is their relationship like?No siblings, plenty of distant relatives through his mother's bloodline- less from his father's.
③ Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?Not... really.
④ Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?Way more than his actual family tbh. Largely his mentors and friends he's made over time.
⑤ Who is the character's best friend? How did they meet?Shavi Oshunin... who was originally his rival before Things happened. (storytelling ayyy)
⑥ Does he have other close friends?ANSWER.
⑦ Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?It takes time for him to truly trust and rely on someone and consider them a friend. He's not rude or anything but yeah.
⑧ Which does he consider more important: family or friends?ANSWER.
⑨ Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?In a relationship.
⑩ Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse???? this question is confusing. he's not cheating no.
⑪ Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?HAHAHAHAH
⑫ What does he look for in a romantic partner?Someone who's honest, dependable... and looks past his status as prince. Honestly the person he's with is the last thing he'd expect but it turns out is exactly what he needs.
⑬ Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If so, how does he relate to them? If not, does he want any?Nope.
⑭ Does he have any rivals or enemies?LMAO SHAVI. Originally at least. The other Big Problems in his life are basically the entire Parcius family, especially Helena and Henry, the children of the heads of the family.
⑮ What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey Scale?Gaaaaaaaaaaay.
⑯How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?ahahahah
⑰ What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?he's too shy for this shit god >> top BELIEFS① Do you know your character's astrological sign? How well does he fit the type?ANSWER.
② Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?ehhhhhhhhhh
③ Does this character have a personal code of ethics or morals? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?An honor code has been hammered into his head by his dad, which basically equals if you make a promise you better make it happen. Plus other stuff.
④ How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?His attitude is basically curious but indifferent. He thinks myths and gods are fascinating (which is why he enjoys reading about them) but he's skeptical about their existence for lots of reasons.
⑤ What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational, or does he have a good reason for them?honestly as long as you're not a dick for no reason he's good >> top DAILY LIFE① What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?He's a prince so technically fuckin rich. But all that's more or less been stripped from him so he's got no real wealth or valuables to his name right now besides some weapons, a horse, and a damn wyvern (who needs gold when you have a DRAGON).
② What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?Still technically a prince and he is addressed as such but Alamhir is basically undergoing the training that all djiani heirs do (or else they can legitimately be passed up as heir and an outsider can be chosen). They have to prove their worth and value to their people and their soldiers in order to show themselves competent, among other things. As the djiani see it, their king or queen is burdened with the right to rule- it isn't a right by birth (although it gives precedent) and, in the past, there have been multiple mutinies against 'unfit' rulers. The best way to do that? Work on their level in basically every facet you can. So he is. To any other Oralian noble it'd be a travesty and an overall miserable experience but he loves it.
③ Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?BLAH BLAH WORLD AND STORY STUFF; he has a room to himself in the barracks since wyvern riders sleep either alone or shared with one other. He technically has a personal room in the fortress his father rules from but he doesn't sleep there.
④ Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?honest...ly...... sweets and seasonal fruit from the market, wine, things he can't otherwise enjoy or ask for or he'd get laughed at.
⑤ What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?He's a prince but currently in training as a Kawyrn (wyvern rider) which comes with all sorts of duties.
⑥ What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?What does he like to do when he has free time??? sleep tbh. No, he likes to hang out with his friends and chill. He doesn't get free time often so when he does it's best spent doing nothing, occasionally getting out of the capital city to chill somewhere else.
⑦ What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?if there's one thing the pretty austere ajanzir fortress has is rad food and he loves the shit out of it. ALSO AGAIN, seasonal fruits and wine. >> top ASSOCIATIONS① Color ➠ Red.
