Really long character bio under the cut, because I can’t seem to shut up about this man.

Last in line for the throne of Oryn, Kristopher had a lonely upbringing.  An unplanned child that no one seemed to want, he learned quickly that the only person he could trust was himself.  As he grew older, he realized that those beyond the castle walls already had their own opinions of him.  Troublemaker, fool, annoyance.  And those were not the worst.

By the time he was a teenager, Kristopher had a well-established reputation as the kingdom’s “problem child”.  Being a member of the royal family (no matter how much he or his parents wished he wasn’t) put that reputation on public display.  Kristopher quickly learned to use it to his advantage.  After all, if everyone hates you already, why not give them a reason?

And so Kristopher took it into his own hands to publicly embarrass his family as much as possible, with little regard for himself.  At every possible opportunity, he would escape the castle, spending his nights in pubs and taverns around Westcliff.  He drank too much and rarely spent a night in his own rooms.

While these actions were partially just a distraction from his own life, sometimes Kris succeeded in making a bigger mess.  Say just the right thing and a visiting merchant might not return.  Flirt with the wrong noble’s son, and his parents might not attend a ball.  If you take enough shots in the dark eventually one might hit something.

Finally, fed up with his actions and eager to get him out of their hair, Kristopher’s parents sent him to Anvia.  Maybe he could finally become useful, or at least someone else’s problem.

Be careful Kristopher.  This is your last chance.

Character:

Having learned from an early age that his thoughts and feelings would be at best ignored or at worst used as fuel for mockery, Kris is very careful not to reveal much of his true emotions.  While momentary cracks in his facade may give someone a hint as to his feelings, he is not one to share them openly.  He maintains an outward appearance of indifference or arrogance, holding his thoughts and feelings close to his chest.

Tired of constantly being the butt of another’s joke, Kristopher is often quick to anger.  His hot-headed nature has gotten him into plenty of trouble over the years, serving to further damage others’ opinions of him.

Despite these things he can be very charming when he chooses to be, a fact that often surprises people.  He rarely shows that side of him, however, since most people already assume him to be an arrogant ass, and he doesn’t see them as worth the time to convince otherwise.  

While his drinking is partially to embarrass his family, Kris also uses alcohol as a way to distract himself from his own thoughts, which are rarely pleasant.  It is not, however, his only form of distraction.  Others include fencing, riding, and archery.  

Bullet Notes:

Last in line for the throne.

Grew up neglected by his family.

He basically raised himself, with very little interference or supervision.  

Became an excellent swordsman out of spite.

Has spent his entire late teen/adult life trying to ruin his family’s reputation.

Serious self-worth issues.

Turns into an asshole when he’s drunk.  (a lot of his self-hatred, etc. has to go somewhere, and he takes it out on others when he’s not thinking straight.)

Had lots of lovers but never been in love.

Was told that coming to Anvia was his last chance, but in reality he sees it as his first.

Hopelessly crushing on Fallon, but doesn’t believe he deserves her.

Told himself when he arrived in Anvia that he wouldn’t show everyone the worst of him, because for once it’s not what they expect to see.
