He is now twenty, and with his father on his death bed and the country finally at peace, with a final treaty signed, he comes home. What he finds though may not have been what he was expecting. While he was gone his mother, Queen Eliquina, took the liberty of selecting woman for the future Kings Harem. Peasant and servant girls now serve daughters of nobles of both Terrestrial and her neighboring countries, and two princesses from peace treaties are also there, all ready to serve his majesty in his bedroom.<br/><br/>The third princess Christina Do’len from the Kingdom of Angenica. The Queen believes her to be the crowning piece for her sons Harem, even if she is from a smaller kingdom, she is known for her gift of air magic. She knows a secret though, the princess, that not many do beside the prince himself. The prince was the one who killed her older brother, and heir to the throne, on the battle field. She knows that if the prince selects her to be the next Queen then her kingdom will be sucked into the Terrestrial Empire, unless she buys enough time for her Father, the aging king, to produce another heir. In Angenica there is no royal harem like in Terrestrial, so her father must select a new Queen to make this possible.<br/><br/>Inside of the harem, life is luxurious for those who are selected, but there is always power struggles inside. Each princess and noble daughter will have brought with her two servant girls from their homes, and then be given a slave girl upon their entrance into the harem. There is also Eunuch* in the harem, who guard and protect the women as well as run errands when needed.<br/><br/>Life in the castle is rich, luxurious, but also hard. Backstabbing is common, and even worse, death can sometimes become those who do not know their station. Many things happen under the table here, and secrets are very plentiful. Can these princess and nobles survive the harem? Who will become the next queen? How many will bear the princes children, and become wives?<br/><br/>Only time will tell.<br/><br/>•   In this RP Eunech will be males not castrated, but made unable to have children from a young age. So they can still have elicited activates with the woman in the harem, but be unable to have children with them.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"castle"</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1216308/thumbs/o-CASTLES-570.jpg?4)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Harem"</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.lionard.com/files/667/foto/14336_castello-chianti.jpg)</div></div><br/>The World:<br/><br/>A History (from a scroll in Terrestrial Castle Library): This world that we live in was born without magic. The world without magic was a world of chaos and chaos. Tribes and small city-states waged great wars and no order was kept anywhere for long. Then, the seven sages came forth and put the world at peace, creating the different Empires and Kingdoms from the power that they wielded. Alliances were made and life was at peace. The magic of our world staying in the royal bloodlines, some trickling down over time into lesser noble houses.<br/><br/>Over time magic like water and earth split into two. Water and Ice, who lived on different sides of the world, were split during the first war for expansion by the dark and fire empires. The other being the Earth Kingdoms which split in two because of power struggle between two brothers. One believing that earth was within rock, stone, and sand, while his brother thought earth be within the trees and ground. The two splitting to create the sand and earth magic’s separation.<br/><br/>The nine countries each have their own elements. Fire, water, earth, wind, light, dark, healing, sand, and ice.<br/><br/>The fifth great war has just ended with the treaty between Terrestrial (Fire) and Angenic (Wind). The world is currently, for the time being, at peace.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"World Map"</div><div class="spoiler_body">Map Made with World Creator and edits done by Haibane<br/>(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/Map-Regions.jpg)<br/>Key: Red/Fire<br/>Dark Blue/Water<br/>Light Blue/Wind<br/>Light Grey/Ice<br/>Dark Grey/Dark<br/>Green/Earth<br/>Brown/Sand<br/>White/Light<br/>Orange/Healing </div></div><br/><br/>Bellow for those who are joining:<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"The Profile"</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> <br/><strong>Age:</strong><br/><strong>Country:</strong> (Talk with me about this so I can organize world structure)<br/><strong>Position:</strong> (Prince/Princess/Queen, Eunuch/Guard, Ect)<br/><strong>Element:</strong> (For Royalty Only)<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> (Picture Please!) also a short paragraph if you want to describe anything NOT in your picture – or is left out of it<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> 4-6 Sentences + 3 Likes (Turn ons + regular) + 3 Dislikes (Turn of + Regular) + Talents/fears (3 or so each)<br/><strong>History:</strong> 1-2 paragraphs, unless you want to make it more extensive. <br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Queen Eliquina"</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Queen Elizabeth May Eliquina (Goes by late-kings sir name)<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 40<br/><strong>Country:</strong> Terrestrial Empire <br/><strong>Position:</strong> Queen<br/><strong>Element:</strong> Fire<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Without the 'wings'<br/> <br/><strong>Personality:</strong> The Queen is a low key woman who has always ruled in the shadow of her husband, making treaties and fighting the battles in court that she has had to. She also, like any Queen, is in charge of the Harem until the the late Kings death when all but herself were cleared out. She is a very ambitious woman, which got her to the place of being the Queen.

Though her husband was strong and a good warrior he did not have the manipulation skills he needed for other things, which she brought to the table.

Her mother came from ____ where she gets most of her looks from. <br/><strong>Position:</strong> Princess)<br/><strong>Element:</strong> Air/Wind<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> (http://www.ourgemcodes.com/forums/attachments/charlotte-jpg.53467/)<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Princess Christina has always been softer spoken when needed, but had a free flying side. Her father once called her a caged bird when he had caught her older brother, who she has always adored even in death, with their mother who said that she should not be going outside to play games with the other children. She had always been fond of playing with them, especially one noble girl who she often spent time with at parties and things. She knew how to be reserved, but like the birds in the morning she has a beautiful singing voice and it is her staring quality. She can be rude and silver tongued if she feels the need to, but she also knows how to hide a face of emotions from everyone else. Since her brother’s death she has been very quiet, only speaking to her closest friend and guard since the news came. Likes: Magic, Singing, and sweet things Dislikes: Sour things, trickery, and shoes Talents: Singing, recitation, and throwing knives Weakness/Fears: hand-to-hand combat, lightning (storms), and snakes <br/><strong>History:</strong>Christina was one of two children born to the Angenic Kingdom. Her older brother was the crown prince and she was the beautiful princess who shared the looks of her mother who came from a foreign land. Most people in her country had darker to medium hair and middle skin tones. She was much fairer then the rest. Her brother had darker skin then her, but shared all but his nose and skin tone with their father. He was a strong man, a warrior prince and someone who everyone thought would make a great King. <br/><br/>The princess grew up at parties, in lessons, and around few beside her family. The only one being the exception was her guard and best friend. She had met the girl in their youth and seen her strength which she admired. She, being a caged bird, could not do many of the things that the other chooses to do. They stayed close over the years to the point that Christina disguised the other woman to look like a man and be able to take her with her, as her Eunuch guard. She was able to take two servants with her and by hiding her friend’s identity she brought her along to her new life. <br/><br/>Christina, who is a soft but normally well thought through young woman, has been in a state of silence since her brother’s death in the Great War. She has been sent off to be married and there is no heir to the throne of Angenica. She is worried for her people’s fates, and though she has been taught and will be obedient to her future husband (the man who she knew killed her brother) she could do nothing against him. She could only do her best to try and make herself unwanted, to save her country from being eaten up by the much larger Empire of Terrestrial . <br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Eunuch Murad Al-Behr"</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=191331.msg9294436#msg9294436">Quote from: Haibane on 06-12-2013, 15:05:28</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Name:</strong> Murad Al-Behr<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 24<br/><strong>Country:</strong> Isle of Mannhar<br/><strong>Position:</strong> Eunuch<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">NSFW!</div><div class="spoiler_body">http://www.imageweb.ws/male-porn-star/752354.html</div></div> Minus the tattoos and pubic hair.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Murad is a calm and patient man. Raised to follow his calling of servanthood his attitude has been schooled into him throughout his youth for this purpose. He is intelligent and helpful, enjoys serving others, especially women but also enjoys taking control in limited circumstances such as sexual encounters. Murad enjoys giving women pleasure, bondage and handing out mild pain such as light floggings. He also is a lover of music and can play the lyre, the Khamoa hand drums and the multi-tubed wooden pipes which we know as Pan Pipes but the Mannharians call "Utsu". He dislikes greed, cruelty, liars and seeing women harmed. His talents include playing musical instruments, dancing, being skilled at cutting and styling ladies hair and he is able to prepare food - not with enormous skill but he at least knows the unsafe plants, herbs and poisonous fish and snakes that must be avoided. Of course he is a skilled fighter with sword, spear and shield, a eunuch must always defend the harem.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Murad is a native of the island of Mannhar, which lies in the southern Glass Sea east of Tayto Jungle. He was born in the city of Khaar on the coast, a great trading port (marked as #2 on the world map). Khaar is also famous for producing the world's finest eunuchs and there is a whole social caste devoted to this calling. The Shamans of Khaar perform rituals and apply medicines that make the young boys in training infertile. They may still enjoy (and give) sexual pleasure and even reach ejaculation but their semen carries no seed. It is thus clear and thick, but never milky. The Shamans also apply herbal creams and essences that encourage the male parts to grow, and the unusual size of the eunuchs of Khaar is another reason they are prized as servants.<br/><br/>Murad was chosen by his parents at birth to attend Khallah Al Misnr or the Great School of Service and here from the age of six to the age of eighteen he was brought up to know only how to serve, to be discreet, to give women pleasure and to fight - to defend them; the four key elements of being a eunuch. He learned to read and write and his numbers. He was sold to his present owners by a travelling eunuch trader who called at Khaar when Murad was nineteen and had just graduated. He has been in the harem for five years and is considered trustworthy, loyal and extremely good at pleasuring women.<br/><br/>Murad being of a servant mind is also able to use his schooling to give pleasure to men on the few occasions that guests at the palaace have asked for such. He does not consider himself attracted to males but as a servant will obey and give them pleasure as they request. He tends to close his mind to such acts but does not actually find them distasteful.<br/><br/>While at the palace he has learned the local language and can speak and write it tolerably but not fluently.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>I made a couple of assumptions with this character. First I assume we're in a generic medieval fantasy setting before gunpowder so I mentioned sword/spear/shield as weapons. Likewise with the musical instruments. Second that this world is like our own and we are in the northern hemisphere and that south is towards the equator and hotter lands. Mannhar is inspired by Morocco, a nation of desert dwellers, mountains, oases, etc. It has cities, a king and government and it trades mostly in slaves, spices and cloth, particularly silks. It also grows large crops of a plant whose beans or seeds are roasted, ground and used in a hot sweet drink we can assume is equivalent to coffee. Huge plantations of these crops are owned by wealthy nobles. I or our GM can give this drink a name. Herbs can be added to it to make it an aphrodisiac as well.<br/><br/>The port-city of Khaar I imagine to be on a coast, somewhere equivalent to Essaouira.<br/><br/>http://www.photographer-passion.bugs3.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/essaouira-2.jpg<br/><br/>http://winteriscoming.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/essaouira-harbor.jpg<br/><br/>For many years this city has trained young men in special schools for the duties of being a eunuch. There's several small schools but also the Great School and the young men who graduate from here are highly prized and sell (as slaves) for very high prices. The price pays for their education and is enough to give the parents of the boys enough to retire on, so the culture of having sons attend the school is popular.<br/><br/>Mannhar is a sea voyage away, there's no land route. Murad will wear whatever costume his owners dictate; it might be just a loincloth, it might be baggy silken pants and a shirt with a waist band in the Arabian style, it might be a military uniform with weapons as part of his duty or not. He might live completely nude, oiled and ready for action, I have no preference.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"First Princess Catherine Hawke"</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Catherine Hawke<br/>Age: 18<br/>Country: Amalia: A medium sized kingdom known for its grand gardens, bountiful farmland, and it’s good work with fortifications.  Its people are distinguishable by their hair, which is on the lighter ends of the colors (blonde, light brown, white, etc) and green eyes.<br/>Position: Princess<br/>Element: Wild (animal talking and such)<br/>Appearance: http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/1303641-bigthumbnail.jpg         <br/>She has smooth, white skin with the slightest of tans.  Her breasts are somewhere between small and medium in size.  She has a slender build and doesn’t have much muscle definition though she makes up for strength in speed.<br/><br/>Personality: Catherine is a kind and caring person.  She has many hobbies and there are many things she does to spend her time; like walking through the woods, reading books, running, etc.  She gives respect to many people, even those far under her station.  Though many think her naïve she truly is not.  She is smart in many things and takes many cautions, though many are on the secretive side.  She hates fighting with others and will try to resolve to other ways.  She is extremely hard to anger, but it isn’t too hard to make her sad.<br/>3 Likes <br/>Turn ons: Breast play (she likes being touched there)<br/>Oral<br/>Teasing<br/>Flirting<br/>Regular: Animals<br/>Nature <br/>People who are kind to her<br/>Other things (The list would be to long)<br/>3 Dislikes <br/>Turn off: Vore and Gore<br/>Potty/Scat play<br/>Hard biting (biting only if it doesn’t leave much of a mark)<br/>Regular: Lizards<br/>Jerks<br/>Anyone who stands in her way (to things she truly wants)<br/>Talents: Flute playing<br/>Cooking<br/>Good with animals<br/>Fears: Darkness (as in room with no windows, she likes the night time)<br/>Being completely alone (usually in cities and such, she doesn’t count being with animals as being completely alone.)<br/>Lizards (one of the only animals she dislikes and actually fears)<br/>History: Catherine was born into the Hawke family, which is the royal family of Amalia.  She is the eldest daughter of the king and queen.  She has one older brother (Romus) and two younger siblings, a brother (Jack) and a sister (Isabele).  She always got along with most of her siblings and very rarely disobeyed her parents.  Throughout her childhood she was trained in the arts of being a princess and about self defense, through force and information.  She was always treated kindly by the people and by animals.  When she was younger her natural born ability at nature magic barely ever came up, she usually only used it to talk to small animals like birds.<br/><br/>During Catherine’s teenage years she did only a few rebellious things, such as wandering the capital city late at night and sneaking off to the forest.  It wasn’t until about 16 when she started using spies and such.  She started using such things because within her grew minor suspicions.  These came from the assassination of the queen.  She had been killed one day from a dagger wielding assassin who snuck past her guards and slit her throat, he had been captured shortly afterwards but the death of her mother by assassin made Catherine more cautious and suspicious.  Though she still went out and about, she had spies looking around.  Her spies were orphans and the poor people of the kingdom, whom she would pay to look out for anything suspicious.  Around the time she also put her magic to more uses like settling arguments between some animals and helping them with their problems in general.  When she reached 18, the topic of the nearby Empire starting a harem and the prince of it looking for a bride her parents jumped at the chance.  Catherine was sent off to the harem, hopefully to become the princess lover and bride and to forge a great alliance.  She herself was anxious to meet the prince and hopeful that she would be the one chosen.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Second Princess Muriel LeFene"</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Muriel LeFene <br/><strong>Age:</strong> 18<br/><strong>Country:</strong> Aqualeia - a cluster of islands in the Glass Sea dubbed <em>The Water Country</em>, Aqualeia is as it always has been; a culture of the sea. Great artisans and crafters make their home in the Water Country. Fine jewelry, pottery, and other such crafted goods are often imported to the mainlands. Aqualeia is also the fishing country, as one could guess, with great ships which sail the seas in search of the best seafood. <br/><strong>Position:</strong> Princess<br/><strong>Element:</strong> Water<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br/>(http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n612/Ember-Star/Female%20Art/1468078-bigthumbnail.jpg) <br/><br/>Muriel stands at 5 feet 6 inches tall. Obviously a princess in every way, she has long soft red hair which flows down her back, and bright blue eyes the color of the bluest sea water. Her lightly tanned skin is soft to the tough and without the blemishs of work, while her body is nicely fit and depicts the tone of one who has been swimming since before she could work. With soft pink lips and a swewt smile, Muriel's kindness shines through in her every expression. <br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Muriel is expediently kind and sweet. She's never known cruelty in her life, and is horrified at the thought of it. Though one should generally not compare this innocence and kindness with nativity. She does have an education and understanding of the darker world beyound the safe bubble of the palace and her homeland.<br/><em>Likes;</em> Swimming, seafood, sunrises. <br/><em>Dislikes;</em> Cruelty, beef, cold weather <br/><em>Talents;</em> Making jewelry, fishing, reading stars<br/><em>Fears;</em> Heights, being alone, spiders. <br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> The youngest of three, with one older brother, and one older sister (in that order), Muriel was the baby of the family. Pampered and adored, she had the best of everything growing up. As with most Aqualeians, she was taught to swim before she could even walk, when she could walk she was taught to fish by her father and brother, and she was taught how to craft beautiful trinkets by her mother and sister. She was also trained in the art of reading the night sky, be for navigation or to recognize the histories and futures written there. <br/><br/>As she grew, it became apparent of he beauty and her parents soon began plans for whom she should marry in the future, for with a beautiful daughter comes a bargain with neighboring lands. They actually had other plans of who would be offered Muriel's hand when the offer from Terrestrial came, though Muriel didn't know this herself. She had, in fact, had developed a sort of relationship with a fisherman's son. Though her parents knew nothing of it and it never went pass a soft peck on the lips. <br/><br/>So, it came with surprise and protest when her parents announced that she would be sent to Terrestrial to bid for the Prince's desire. Though, it didn't take much convincing when they explained the logic of the joining should he pick her. So, with some reluctance, she left, hoping the Prince wasn't as mean as some of the stories she had heard. She knew the joining of Fire and Water would be an unlikely one, but she also knows all the good it would bring her land and family should he pick her. With that determination in mind, she plans to hopefully win over the Prince's heart. Or, if she can't do that, at least leave a good impression on him to improve future relations between Terrestrial and Aqualeia. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Prince David Eliquina"</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> David Eliquina<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 20<br/><strong>Country:</strong> Terrestrial Empire<br/><strong>Position:</strong> Prince<br/><strong>Element:</strong> Fire<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/>(http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/66/r169_457x256_11966__Dusk_2d_fantasy_warrior_king_prince_picture_image_digital_art.jpg)<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> David could hardly be considered cruel. He is, however, demanding; much like his father before him. In most cases, especially when it came to his people, he was a fair and just man. He does have particular ways that he desires results, and can often be quick to anger if everything does not proceed the way he plans. This can often be attributed to his element, as fire has always seemed to boil just beneath the surface of the man. Sometimes, though, people attribute his temperament to his youth.<br/><strong>Ons/Likes:</strong> Control, command, heat<br/><strong>Off/Dislikes:</strong> Being questioned, cold, rain<br/><strong>Talents:</strong> Adept at most forms of combat, master with swords, strategist<br/><strong>Fears:</strong> Losing his power, losing control, failure<br/><strong>History:</strong> David had been groomed for power from an extremely young age.

After completing his training as a knight, he has been away for five years to serve various posts along the border. He was sent to learn even more about dealing with command and leadership.<br/><br/>The death of his father hit him hard, as while there may not have been a traditional love between them, he respected and admired the man deeply.

He always keeps a clean shaven face and is never seen anywhere without the cross he adorns around his neck.<br/><strong>Personality: </strong><br/>Vhaun is quite the reserved man, which may be found odd in this day and age, even for him with the cursed background he shared. Some may believe he may share resentment towards his cousin’s, spite towards his father who was older than the latent king;  but in reality, these trivia matters don’t ever rise up for the male to ponder or reflect upon. He is quite sated and satisfied where he presently is and he is no where near a saint as much as he may present himself to be to the general public eye. Dear no, the man is far worse underneath that charming smile he shows to others and confident aura he perches comfortably upon. He is knowledgeable enough to know that by winning the hearts of the general people, he may have a chance of more power imaginable within the Empire. He also carries a lack of fear about him as he knows well his self worth; or perhaps that too could be possible arrogance? Not that he is one to get bullheaded and put himself intentionally in harms way, still he doesn’t as easily back down either like a spineless coward. <br/><em>Likes</em><br/>Trade, sex, tricking/deceiving/outwitting others, reading on trade or warfare tactics, making observations, and usually coming out with a profit. <br/><em>Dislikes:</em><br/>Frivolous women, greedy people, beggars, open sea, titles, being ‘ordered’ to do anything, and being mistaken that his wealth comes from his family line. The latter the highest of pet peeves.<br/><em>Skills:</em><br/>-Tactical and clever.<br/>-Deceit, blackmail,  bribery.<br/>-Reading, writing, counting.<br/>-Mercantile, he knows the flow of trade and how to always make a profit.<br/><em>Flaws:</em><br/>-Not a combatant.<br/>-Quite the gambler.<br/>-Often gets sea-sick<br/>-Poor physical capabilities.<br/>-Refuses to address others by ‘title’ during trade.<br/><strong>History: </strong><br/>“Are you sure you weren’t adopted?”<br/>A question that he often finds himself presented. It is not from first glimpse that he falls from the family tree in resemblance, but it is also his mannerism as well that makes people wonder. His family line fell off the apple tree in power inheritance, his father wasn’t lucky nor was the child he bore.  Vhaun never had a touch for combat as some of his family may share, open sea warfare was also another lack of his. At a younger age he would cry and throw fits on a vessel and at an older age would lose his stomach and heave. It was determined from that point onwards that the young nephew of the King was a ‘black sheep’ of the family lineage.<br/><br/>His family even lost pride for him, he was taught the fundamentals of reading and writing, along with counting; though he was often denied anything beyond that. Unlike other noble and royal boys and girls who might have been showered with gifts growing up, Vhaun was punished and kept away with such luxuries. Even to this day he carries a fine resentment to such, but it is not just the fact of free gifts that bother him. It is the audacity that many would assume that the boy got his wealth from his family line and no where else in his life; if there was anything he obtained from them, than it was the knowledge they allowed him to have, but from that point on he sharpened his wit to be as dangerous as any blade.<br/><br/>When he was not spending time studying, he was sneaking out to view the city and the common people. Those that lived a lesser life were fascinating in his opinion, in fact they were just like him, but more free than being caged in a mansion. Even what was more entertaining was the fact that they found relief through prayers at the cathedral. These adventures taught him plenty through the years, most importantly that he was not the only one struggling and there were plenty others like him.<br/><br/>At a young age of seventeen, his family was in a bind. One of their contacts in trade was doing poorly, so Vhaun decided to offer to take the man’s place. This was a laugh in itself, his father believed the boy was joking. How could a mere young child do any better than a trained merchant that they hired? On the other hand, this could also prove beneficial as a means to exile him from their line, just by having him set himself up to failure.<br/><br/>Instead, Vhaun surprised them all, within one year he was turning a small commerce into a growing fortune. By going the lengths of different trade outs and scouting out goods, he made a manuscript to reflect off of in a ‘supply and demand.’ Many traders would usually seek quicker routes, but a long solid route that may prove dangerous but pay out in the end was what he always took. He has been a gambler through his years and even if there is a loss in trade on the way, it would been a small one. Buy low and sell high, is his motto.<br/><br/>Still, his profits didn’t always go fully into the pockets of his greedy family. He took his earnings and within a few years broke away from his dealings to do his solo trade. One may imagine the ruckus this created, but Vhaun had nothing more to owe them. His trade efforts has even drew attention from the royal family and also the public eye as well from the various donations he has made towards the church and offerings he has given the poor here and there.<br/><br/>To this day, Vhaun plays the to-go-to guy role in times of need for commerce or money. Lending is something he does, but he rarely does it in lump sums; unless he may be under employment from the royal family and then he doesn’t mind playing around with their wealth to make more. After all, who in their right mind would build a debt to the kingdom and not repay it? When he is not trading and playing the role of the merchant, he is seen visiting the various churches and winning the hearts of the people of his kingdom.<br/><br/>Despite these good habits of his, Vhaun is far darker than the eye lets on. Everything he does is for his benefit and personal gain, even the wealth he obtains and the charity he provides. He has an ambition to have the church armed and for himself to take up the highest position over them all for a private army that would rival the Fire Kingdom’s own. Except, it would not be led by the Empire, but the leading patriarch of the church instead.<br/><strong>Bodyguards:</strong><br/>Vhaun is usually seen everywhere he goes with one or more of his personal trained bodyguards. <br/>Rufus (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/Morkael/DemonDragon/a71876b21489bff7c83ecbb15cb777dee4f2c1b9_zps6ff8cbbc.jpg) - A former mercenary of the Earth Country, age late forties.  Has minor power over Earth element.<br/>Aldell (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/Morkael/Evil%20Dudes/ec35b60098bd0925f0c931c969e54be7.jpg) - Origin unknown.
