Alright. He's a young prince (12-15) (his old name was stupid, changing it too), and he's very short. He constantly dresses as fancy as can be... and he wants to conquer the world. Srsly.
He trys to pretty much buy anyone he can for his army and achieve world domination.
(Not to do anything bad... he just... wants control and for everyone to worship him)

He's not too unique so far though. He's bratty, selfish, high and mighty and always flatters himself example: "As your amazing wonderful ruler, I declare today a holiday. In honor of ME! Ha ha ha! For I am so great, leading us to victory of the northern region!"
He can be a bit merciful but only if you're able to convince WHY he should be. He tends to work his servants like dogs
and loves his life. I'm unsure if he'll have any abilities of any kind, as before he didn't. But now that I think of it, he will probably need SOME way to defend himself in case of a rebellion.


Any ideas?
4 words.. Kyle. Epic level bodyguard.

Finding a reason why the prince hasn't been killed off or otherwise abandoned for being a little prat would probably be a good idea. Whether that falls under abilities, a brainwashed army, or the favour of some high king or something, that I don't know, but it seems like it would be pretty important to explain that, to me. :)

I say give him a curse that turns him into a llama. :P
Or a...dang...what's them things called. Them ginormous australian rats.

That would probably be the first thing. I was actually thinking of him having this ability (useless to him) but that prevents something bad from happening to his people... not sure what yet. Some sort of evil curse around the lands they live in perhaps or something.

Ha ha! Kyle would be an amazing bodyguard. Not to mention no one would touch the little brat if Kyle was around.
Cept River cause he's a big dummy head. Heh.

I actually like a curse idea. Maybe some kind of animal. And maybe only when he gets mad or something...
I think something like a mouse or rat would be hilarious. Rat would suit best as they can sometimes be greedy little buggers (cute, alas, but greedy).
Oh oh! A ferret! Cause ferrets are just weasley little cleptos!

@Lance: Ha ha, yep. River is a huge dummy-head.
And yes! A ferret sounds great!


Oh, also, i' thinking of doing his entire profile in FIRST-PERSON. Just for a change.
Where he brags about his amazing and wonderful self the whole time in a hilarious manner (sometimes accidentally revealing his bad side by ranting about how people say he's selfish and how ludicrous that is). Anyone like that idea?
I like the concept of you talking about how great I am in first person. I think it would be marvelous to expedite my grandeur...oh wait you mean the kid prince guy brat. Heh.

Ha ha. Well if we go with the idea of Kyle being one of his bodyguards, he'd probably speak pretty highly of him (more as a threat to people) LOL. Such a little pest.
What time frame would he portrayed as so I can add another character sheet to my already extensive list that needs to be done AND I'm actually making progress on.

Oh man. Good question. I'd have to say semi-past timeframe.
Due to the royalty thing. I don't see him that great with cellphones and stuff.

Of course, he could just be in an isolated area of the world and not know of such things too... Hmm hm...
But I think he'd do better with a medieval setting.
Magic usage?

yes. Magic usage is fine. I see medieval/fantasy. Due to the factor of their probably being monsters/demons about.
Then consult the 90% complete basic form of Kyle that shall serve the part. It's also the same version in which Flare and Sazuki are training with.

Woo! : )

he he, Well now I just have to decide a name, and what his ability is that protects his people from whatever curse I hadn't thought up yet.
Perhaps he does so through some magical artifact? May be easier to think up an item that does it instead of an actual ability.
