xxxxxHidden in the shadow of his ruling father lies a troubled man struggling to find his place of interest, whether it be the throne itself or amongst the people- this man is Vaughn. Vaughn is a tricky man to grasp- he tends to hide his true thoughts and personality when interacting with those around him. When giving orders or pondering his responses, Vaughn takes on a deadpan figure, rigid in the shoulders and menacing in the eyes. However, when mingling with others, the prince takes on a charming stance, sporting a nonchalant smile and smooth voice. Despite how he makes himself appear, Vaughn does not wear his heart on his sleeve and is not easy to read. Vaughn's schemes are thoroughly planned out, and his words are chosen carefully. It isn't easy to see this, but it is clear that the man does not expose everything about himself.
xxxxxPart of Vaughn's secretive manner comes from his history. At a young age, Vaughn lived with his mother in a common village home, but was brought to the castle when his mother died and taught the ways of a prince- however, not the rulership of any ordinary prince, considering Thysiil's ways. His father was strict and stoic, never letting emotions get in the way of his rule. He was also cunning and knew how to get his way. Vaughn picked up his father's harsh exterior, but he never seemed to impress the king. As he grew older, he became to dislike the king and preferred walking amongst the people even though he carried on his cunning ways and taste for power. Vaughn learned later in his life that the king and his mother loved each other and had him as their child, but because his mother was a villager she couldn't be crowned Queen and he Prince instantly. Usually royals were supposed to love other royals by custom. He needed to live with his mother as a villager, but because of his mother's passing he was taken to the castle to be cared for as royalty. He knew his father missed his mother, but he assumed his father never got attached to him because he couldn't bear losing a second person he loved.
xxxxxConsidering his secrecy, Vaughn isn't exactly the easiest book to read when it comes to romance. He dislikes showing his true feelings or emotions out of fear of appearing weak or being hurt- it takes him a while to open up to anyone he is interested in. He is known for being a charming character but he only fakes it, especially around those he doesn't know. However, if someone is patient and takes the time to know him, he does wish for someone to confide in. He has the potential to be a little more open, especially if someone allows him to put his trust in them.

xxxxxHobbies - archery, hiking, making artwork, equestrian activities
xxxxxPet Peeves - people invading his business
xxxxxSign - scorpio
xxxxxMount - dapple grey gypsy vanner gelding named "mars"

xxxxxVaughn stands at six feet three inches tall with a lanky but athletic and muscular build. His foggy grey eyes and arched eyebrows give him an intimidating face, despite not being much of the buff, beefy-muscular type. His height makes up for his thin figure and, along with his facial features, makes him look fit to be a prince.
xxxxxVaughn has dark brown hair that almost appears black, or a dark coffee color. He has bushy, arched eyebrows and facial hair, although he does keep it tame and trimmed. Mav often wears dark colors that serve to accent his hair, such as murky grays, shady blues, and charcoal blacks. He almost never leaves his home without a good pair of black boots, and he's one to wear jewelry.
xxxxxVaughn has a few scars on his calfs from riding horses, and on his arms and torso are scars from brawls and battles he has had. His larger battle scars hide under his clothing so they are not visible to anyone.

summary - arrogant & self-minded because of the way he was raised - cunning and quite deceitful, uses
charm to get what he wants - flirtatious - despite being a prince, he prefers to mingle with the people
& join in on their affairs rather than those involving foreign nations - dislikes his father - despite his
personality, he does care for his people - same with his friends or those he likes - tends to hide any
feelings for fear of looking "weak," which started when he was young out of fear of his father being
disappointed - for relationships, he could be a soft teddy bear with some work - protective of people
he loves

Maidens

galina mermaid - ☐
A sailor once told Vaughn he spotted a quiet mermaid while sailing. He thought it was a siren first, but the tailed creature sang no song. After looking a little while longer the sailor noticed the creature was a mermaid. Vaughn really hasn't heard anything more about this creature, but he hopes to see her for himself.

eulalia siren - ☐❋
Vaughn has heard many stories of a beautiful siren residing within the sea. If anyone were to buy into this mysterious creature, it'd probably be him, even if it wasn't out of his best interest. He's never met her or seen her, but don't all seafarers love to dream about a beautiful girl with beautiful song?

saoirse selkie - ☐ [to be ☑ - ♘]

aella nymph - ☐ [to be ❋ - ♥]

Ruling Princes

félix niraleth - ☑♘⚮
When Vaughn's father and both of Félix's ruling parents allied Niraleth and Thysiil, the two princes were expected to show up at meetings their ruling fathers and mothers had. However, their bond extended a little past discussing the nations' affairs. They would spend time in the villages together, and after some time the two grew feelings towards each other. Vaughn, realizing these feelings, backed out of the relationship and kept to formal business with the kings and queens. Fearful of a longstanding relationship, Vaughn blamed his back-out on fearing his father would catch him. The relationship on a whole was short-lived. However, he didn't want to lose Félix entirely so they remain friends and are still allied through the nations, but he wishes their friendship was stronger.

age 22

sexuality heterosexual

- traits vengeful, unsympathetic, wrathful, strong pride, can be temperamental

about:


Mara was raised as a princess of Niraleth but gave up her crown at the age of 17. She stole away on a ship one night and took her family's prized war axe with her. In keeping with the old ways, she learned the art of the axe, the shield, and the spear. After leaving Niraleth she put those skills to use as a mercenary under the name "Senua Stormreaver" and worked for years guarding various ships sailing to Valkyrin, Eristal, Oreanus, Thysiil, and everywhere in-between except her home country. At one point one of her former guards (and secretly her lover) tried to come and find her, a young knight named Ruan. He made the mistake of sailing through Valkyrin at night and met a grisly fate after hearing the Siren's song. After she found out about his death she swore to hunt down the Siren one day and put an end to her.

important details about the character:


She believes in magic and practices it to a degree - A central aspect of Niraleth's culture is respect for the past, for keeping their traditions, stories, and cultural practices alive in the present day. Legends about sea monsters, maidens, and other sidhe, have greater significance. Sometimes there's small practices like having certain herbs hung over your door to ward of evil spirits. Other times it's avoiding certain bodies of water because someone's cousin's friend's great-grandfather claimed they saw a capaill uisce there a decade ago. To people outside Niraleth it can seem like superstition but to Mara and her people it's just part of the culture.

She tends to act and dress Thysiilian in order to hide the fact that she's from Niraleth + more details on her appearance - Her first instinct as a Niralethi is to be bold and assertive but in emulating Thysiilian style she's learned to tone it down. Most of her clothes are close-fitting and in dark earthy tones ( possibly "borrowed" long-term from a certain friend). She favors practical clothing over anything fancy, especially when it's waterproof so she can wear it at sea. Physically she's about average weight, average height for a Niralethi women but short compared to other people, not very curvy, and fairly muscular. She's tanned well from her years of sailing and working under the sun and keeps her hair back in long, dark braids. Under her clothes she wears an iron medallion forged with an ancient symbol of protection.

The main reason why she left Niraleth - With war brewing between the various nations, the queen and king or Niraleth began to consider marrying Mara off to a prince from another kingdom in order to form strong alliances. Mara, who was meanwhile having her secret affair with Ruan (how she pulled that off without anyone in the clan finding out only the gods of sea shall know), would have absolutely none of it. She raged against whatever arrangements they tried to make, argued at length, until finally she was promised to [ if anyone has a prince character who fills this role hmu]. A month before the marriage was supposed to take place she fled in the middle of the night and "Mara" hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Relations

Ally - Enemy - Undetermined

[Saoirse - The Selkie]

[Celeste - The Nixie]

[Aella - The Nymph]

[Eulalia - The Siren]

Plans on hunting her down eventually and putting the family axe somewhere unpleasant. As Senua she always heard tales of the Siren's deadly song and was wary of sailing Valkyrin waters at night. People could make dozens of excuses and explanations for why ships would be would wrecked or found adrift for no reason and the crew found dead in unspeakable ways. Ever since Ruan, she stopped questioning who or what might be responsible.

[Galina - The Mermaid]

[Felix Argentum - Prince of Niraleth]

If anyone hurts her brother she'll find them and put the family axe somewhere unpleasant. Being the two oldest siblings made them close and Mara was always more protective over her older brother.

[Vaughn "Maverick" Matius - Prince of Thysiil]

She threatened once that if he dared break her brother's heart she'd put the family axe somewhere unpleasant. Thankfully she never needed to do that. Mara and Mav became close friends while he was dating her brother and their countries were negotiating alliance. Most of what she's picked up about Thysiilian culture she got from him, especially the part about archery.

[Nicolas Taylor - Prince of Eristal]

[Kaltian Setira - Prince of Oreanus]

She call him "Kal", and he'd know her better as "Senua." They met after she left Niraleth and she was guarding one of his ships. He was easily one of the first allies she made. In a way Kaltain reminds Mara of herself, bound to serving a nation and a crown but still wanting freedom, and for that she sympathizes with the prince. She trusts him to watch her back as long as she's watching his.

⧫ History ⧫
She was born to her mother, a Naiad, and her father, a human. Her father was unique in that rather than being coaxed into staying with the nymphs, he had fallen in love with her mother before he even knew of her true identity. She grew up with the idea that she would one day find love as her mother did— an idea that she embraced whole-heartedly. One day, though, a beautiful maiden came to the lake and asked permission to join the Naiads in the water. Of course, the Nymphs refused— any non-Nymph's contact with the water resulted in a huge decrease in their power while the water worked to fix all the impurities that plague a human's heart— explaining that they only granted such an honor to a human in dire need. The woman pleaded and pleaded, crying that she could not stay on land come nightfall, or a horror beyond their imagination would occur. Finally, when the sun's last rays just barely cleared the horizon, young Aella began sobbing with the woman and extended a tendril of water to make contact with her. That was all the witch needed. Within seconds, she had sapped the the life and energy after every nymph in the lake, leaving only Aella. "Sweet little one, don't think I'm saving you for your good deed." The witch purred. "I'm just letting you live with what you've done. From now on, you are only a danger... come nightfall!" With that, the witch cackled and disappeared. Of course, she quickly regretted casting such a spell, as when Aella's new curse took over for the first time, her first victim was that horrid old hag.

⧫ Vaughn/Mav ⧫
Aella finds Mav... amusing, for lack of a better word. She has seen him many times, but only at her river in his special cove, so she has not been exposed to any aspects of his personality other than quiet brooding. While this would deter many, or possibly even irritate them, she finds it delightful to have such a chance to observe a human for such extended periods of time, especially since he brings that beautiful horse with him all the time. She does find him quite handsome, though, and wouldn't mind if he decided to stay at her inn for a few days.

[Horse]

@Peachfuzz221 - Just added it to my post <: ! I'll have my character's information finished soon as well!

[Cats&Cucumbers]

Aella is open for relations!

@Peachfuzz221: This is probably a stupid question but just to be sure- are our assigned partners the ones that match up with our number&nation? xD sorry i mean it seems pretty obvious but just on the off chance that you planned on assigning us partners after I was just making sure haha
