First Name: Nathaniel Sky
Last Name: Cromwell
Age: 17
Appearance:
History: Raised as elven prince of the small country of Latvia, Sky has always gotten everything handed to him on a silver platter. He was born September 12th, 1991 in the royal quarters of his parents' palace. Father Frederick and mother Genevieve instantly knew that this boy's powers were beyond what anyone would have expected, and that he would soon rule his country in all his greatness. Problem was, though, that no matter how long Sky practiced his magic, he never got very far with it. There would be a few sparks, maybe even a gust of wind, but never anything spectacular. The only thing he was good at so far, was opening locks. Not exactly a pastime his parents liked, either. Their agitation brought to them a great elven doctor, one who could sense powers and tap into the fears and disabilities of its owner. His advice had been to get Sky into a school for magic, which would encourage him to explore his powers. But also so he could be watched closely by the most powerful witches and wizards of all times. Surely they could make this young prince grow into a great king, right? Most importantly for him though, would he finally find some real, honest to god, friends? Because the ones he had at home, his supposed friends, were obviously only after the status and money it brought them. He only hung out with them because his parents told him he needed friends if he wanted to be a loved king some day. And how could he ever disobey his parents?
Personality: Sky is a guy who, even though he has the weight of a throne hanging over his head, has stayed level-headed throughout the years. Even though he might seem stuck up to the people who don't know him, he's basically a good guy at heart, can get along with a lot of people, except the ones who choose not to get along with him. What sometimes stands in the way of his happiness is his growing frustration with his magical incompetence, which causes him to sometimes blow up a thing or two when his magic backfires. When frustration or anger hits him, it is evident in his eyes that turn a cold icy blue, whereas when he is extremely happy they turn a deep forest green. The brilliant gold that he heard was only possible when he felt a burning love for something or someone, he had not yet experienced. But as romantic as he is, he would love to find the girl of his dreams some day soon. Being a prince weighs hard on him and he is not at all delighted by the prospect of ruling a country, but because he has no other choice, he has learned to live with it. He hated to admit it, but being a prince had it's advantages too...like buying himself the best horse that money could buy.
Sample RP: "Nathaniel! Nathaniel come here this instant!" His mother called from the kitchen, annoying the hell out of him with her high pitched voice calling out his first name, which he loathed. She probably wanted to introduce him to her newest 'gem', a girl who was supposedly to be his girlfriend and with that the future queen of Latvia. What were these girls thinking, giving them selves up to a life of aristocracy, never being able to just run outside and do whatever they pleased, nobody watching them from around a corner. He knew very well what life would be like for him after his coronation, if it were ever to happen, anyway. He would have no freedom, no privacy. He would be a man of the people and everyone 'deserved' to know what he was doing at any moment in time. How dreadful this might sound to you, which it also did to Sky, he didn't have a chance. He had no brothers or sisters, nobody to claim the throne when he would step down. Well, except for his uncle, but he wouldn't give it to him for all the gold in the world. He was literally doomed.
With a sigh, Sky walked into the kitchen to stand eye to eye with, yes, a girl. A pretty girl with long black hair, warm honey eyes and full lips that any guy would love to kiss. But she was not the one, Sky knew immediately. She may just be the most endearing girl in the whole wide world, be the best partner in bed, the most suited to be queen, but she was simply not HIS queen. There was just something in her eyes that was not quite right and he knew that it had to be right from the moment he saw her, he had to know and feel it. His eyes shifted from her to his mother and he shook his head once before walking back out the doors and back to his chair in the library across the hall. His mother would sigh, he thought he could even hear it that very instant, and apologize to the girl, taking her out to the front doors to bid her a safe journey home, however long that journey might be. To be honest, Sky did feel sorry for those girls. They obviously had to provide for their families, or else they wouldn't have taken these rigorous steps to get money and status. But he would not take one of them for anything less than love, he was not that kind of guy. Maybe this trip to France would do him good. He would stay there for a couple of years, meet some new people, maybe even the girl he would take home to be his queen. And hopefully he would finally succeed at some magic!
Wow, this is a hard one. Definitely NOT Cossu, but I am thinking not Sournois either.... hmmm ok must be Rouerie!
