With an uncle like his, he grew up thinking there was no issue with affairs between siblings. A family shame that took root, before the uncle died in his sleep five years ago. With no skills, and appetites that need no public outlet, the brother has been isolated and hid. As such he will never be the heir. He resents this understanding. <br/>()   Dark Secret -- I have been active as a secret messenger between the prince and princess, even though their love is secret, even forbidden. If the rulership finds out, I may be put to death, even have my family stripped of everything. <br/>1    Obligation to Father, as the heir, I must marry up, seeking a profitable and status oriented marriage. <br/><br/><br/>Will these work for flaws, also can you assign a rating for the Dark Secret, I would appreciate this. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As to the brother, he can definitely be a problem. As a member of the family, I can't just bump him off. As a member of the family, he knows of my goals, and some of my interactions. He is in a prime position to poison waters, and leak information to hinder the Prince, Princess, or my goals. I have used information I found out in the palace to keep the princess in the right light, while her siblings efforts have been hurt by my knowledge. Keeping him out of trouble would probably be the biggest issue, Ah. ok. Not Enemy, Ward. Keeping his secrets, keeping him out of trouble, dealing with his appetites and scandals, and keeping him out of my bed. There are staff who 'watch' him, but they are underlings and he has a puffed up sense of worth. I spend time smoothing over ruffled feathers and tending to his scandals. Though with Ward, I may take it at a rating (2).<br/><br/>I can take Dark Secret 3<br/><br/>If anything it becomes harder to marry up once I become an Eclipse, what is up from there? Marry the Unconquered Sun himself, that is more a Zenith thing. And who wants to marry Anathema. Troubles, troubles, troubles.
