Schade
Metallic Wonder
WIP for now. Mine and Mon's characters are siblings. His being the magically oriented one, mine will be more focused on physical attributes. As well as the slightly evil personality becaise I am me, after all.
Name: Prince Raphael Leonhart
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species & Occupation: Human Prince.
Alignment: Chaotic Impure
Main Tools/Weapons: Besides his mastery of athletic combat skills, he carries an enchanted Royal Rapier. Mostly an offensive combatant, he relies on his strength, stamina and agility. He does not care much for magic, rather than the more practical spells.
Pet/Mount: Nightmare. One of the few spells he bothered to learn, enabled him to summon dark creatures, his favorite being the nightmare. He nicknames it Shade. Shade is portrayed as being a black horse of skeletal structure, with a shadowy mane, and glowing red eyes.
Appearance: Raphael stands a bit above average height for young men of his age. He has a slender, yet physically fit build due to his daily training regiments, and he takes pride in his looks. His skin is fair and naturally pale, and he has difficulties with getting a tan, though he doesn't worry about that. He has short pale blonde hair that he keeps in a rather messy style. This is mostly his way of annoying his mother who puts too much pressure on him to look "Decent" due to his heritage. He has a sleek face with strong cheekbones, and prominent jawlines. His lilac eyes are sign of his royal heritage, and mostly have that "Ugh, i'm bored" look to them. He does, however, straighten up in social situations.
One of the more annoying sides to his role as prince of the land is that more or less every tailor in the kingdom wants to make his clothing at all times. He has his wardrobe stashed with a variety of elegant suits, jackets, trousers, shoes, socks, accessories, more or less everything. Though he doesn't care much for looking like the dashing prince charming from your weird nightmares, he does always prefer good quality clothing. This shows in his favorite attire, which is a pair of black pants and formal shoewear. Purple is the color mostly associated with his family, so of course he goes for something other than that. Being very stubborn about his family's traditions, Raphael wears a white frilled shirt with puffy arms. Over that, he wears a decorative dark blue vest that drives his mother insane. He also wears a cravat of the same color as his vest. To accessorize, Raphael wears a ring carrying the crest of the royal family, as is expected of him as he is next in line for the title of king. It has the same shade of lilac as his family's eyes.
Though his outfit is mostly for show, the main reason it is his favorite is due to how easy it is moving around in it. He hates the stiff, overly dressed styles the The entourage of tailors prepare for him.
Personality: As expected of the prince of Viso-ane, Raphael is a very elegant and mannered young man to the public eye. He is dashing, charming, polite and helpful. Those are the traits expected of a prince, and those are the traits he has learned from the numerous tutors he have had to endure over the years. He knows his way on the political plane, and know who to trust and who to be wary of. His father is very proud of him, something Raphael don't really care too much about. He is very intelligent as he has been home schooled from an early age, as well as having developed an interest for reading due to his mothers neglect during his childhood. Ironically, he doesn't take his wealthy status for granted, and is very snobby towards "Peasants". Mingling with socialites and basically being pimped off by his mother to promising young ladies is more or less an everyday activity for him at this point, and he has learned to fake interest.
Although people mostly think he's the best prince ever, his social personality is only a facade. He strongly dislikes more or less everything that has anything to do with politics, and does not want that throne once the time comes. Raphael is selfish and rebellious, due to always being put second to his sister Bianca by their mother. Since they only see their father in social events, he does not know this side of him. His mother, however, does. She always wanted a daughter, and puts little to no effort in trying to hide that Bianca is her favorite. Raphael resented his sister for this for many years when they were younger, but eventually grew to be able to overlook it. His sister, unlike his mother, was a fantastic person that was very very difficult to hate, even for him. He is very protective towards her, and has chased off quite the number of suitors he has deemed unworthy of her affection, something they argue over every now and then. She is also the only person he is genuinly nice to, though he is a little rough around the edges in his ways of showing it. He is determined, and cares little for how he reaches his own goals. The only real obstacle in his way is his status as prince. He often use his status as ways of persuading or threatening others, and always follow through on his threats. Be it imprisonment or death. Despite his rather cruel nature, he always upholds a gentlemanly stature as he knows that appearance is more important in his way of life.
Due to the partial neglect he has experienced, he was often alone as a child. no other kids dared trying to befriend a noble prince, causing him to feel isolated. This sparked what would evolve into his rebellious nature. When not in social events, he can be rude, manipulative, sadistic and borderline violent. He rarely plays fair, and have sent a lot of royal retainers to their deaths during sparring sessions, or just because he got bored of them. He has little regard of a human life, and although he dislike killing for no good reason (A good reason in his eyes), he is not above bullying people of a lower cast than himself. Though he acts a lot out of his own interests, he is bound by the social norms of his family. He does nothing to dishonor them, and keeps his shenanigans to himself. His rebellion is the little things he manage to say or do every now and then. Small victories as they call it.. heh.
Being a handsome young man of royal heritage, Raphael encounters young socialites wanting to marry him on a daily basis. Not very uncommon for young men in his position, as the future king does need a queen after all. What no one else besides his sister knows though, is that he would rather spend a night of passion with one of his male retainers instead. Raphael is gay, and though he consider it somewhat of a hinder, he doesn't let it bother him. However, If this came out, it would be scandalous, which is why he is very careful not to let anyone else know. His mother is getting more and more pushy with finding him a wife, although his father is more open and tells him not to worry, and that someone will come by eventually. Unlike his sister, Raphael is not romantic of nature, and can wait as long as he needs to; he's in no rush. He does, however, enjoy talking about guys with his sister.
He resents his mother. For all reasons mentioned above and more. The two of them never have anything else but toxic conversations consisting of mean comments. The two of them making amends is likely not going to happen in the near future, if at all. The strained relationship between them doesn't bother him at all, and he is respectful when the situation requires it. She is the queen, after all.
History: Raphael is the firstborn son of the Viso-Ane royal family, heir to the throne of king Rolof Leonhart when the time comes. As the title suggests, anyone with the name of Leonhart is expected to be of high standard and class. Due to all of this, Raphael was put into homeschooling from very early on, earlier than his sister did. However, His mother, Queen Orianna Leonhart had always wanted a baby girl, and therefore mostly left Raphael for the servants of the palace to look after. When she finally got a girl, Raphaels younger sister Bianca, she more or less cut off all contact with him. Despite being spoiled into the heavens above, without the loving care of his mother, Raphael felt rather empty inside. His father was the only one always showering him with affection, the few times a year they actually saw each other.
Despite being replaced with his sister, he holds no grudge against her to present day. She is adorably whimsical, and he feels obligated to protect her. He was envious as a kid though. He saw the affection his mother gave her, while all he got was strict lectures and diciplinary actions. His childhood was lacking, to say the least. He always sees the harsh reality of things, and grew to be rather cold of nature due to this. This was hidden whenever he was in social gatherings in the name of the throne though, as he had an image to uphold, wether he liked it or not.
His childhood was very privilegded, and he knew well that nothing is free, despite actually getting everything for free. The spoiled nature of his upbringing has made him somewhat shallow and snobby, especially to those under him in social rankings. Luckily for him, this is socially acceptable in the noble circles of which he threads, so he doesn't need to hide that side of himself too much. His homeschooling was the best, even though his impatient nature and "I am better than you" attitude made it very easy for him to get his way around it whenever he disliked what went down. Although interested in learning, it was the physical classes he enjoyed the best. fencing and workouts was a great way of releasing some of his agression, though it is easily seen in his otherwise elegant fighting style. Although he disliked the courses of politics and etiquette, Raphael knows how important they are, and is well educated on the topics. Despite that, he doesn't bow under to the snobby lifestyle unless he absolutely has to. He enjoys spending time alone, or with the male retainers, and cares little with the formal affairs of his parents.
However, one fateful evening when he was involved in a romantic escapade with a rather dashing young butler, his sister accidentally walked into his room and caught the two. It was awkward. Very awkward, and the two didn't speak for a few days. Raphael really worried that his mother would come and scold him or banish him from the land or just plain out order his execution. Nothing happened in a few days though, so he decided to talk to his sister. It was awkward at first, but it was very obvious that she cared very little about what gender his lovers were, so long as he found romance and a happy ending. (Or at least a happy evening amirite)
After that, the two of them connected on an even deeper level. She shared with him stories about he and her own lover, A commoner knight of the castle. Though he disliked her mingling with commoners, he figured he wasn't exactly in a position to scold her on that. He also told her about how he experienced growing up, which made Bianca seem regretful. She had thought his mother was as good to him as she was to her. Unfortunately for his sister, her relationship didn't last as the knight was killed in combat. She seemed different after this.
When the rather uncommon illness was starding to spread throughout the kingdom, his father traveled around the kingdom in search for answers, as was expected of him. In his absence though, the people turned to Raphael for comfort and solace. All he could do at the time was reassuring them that his father would return with news as soon as possible. That never happened though, and the people grew more and more worried. His sister presented the idea of traveling themselves in search for answers, and although he was initially against the proposal, after a few unpleasent conversations with his mother, he accepted.
