The _Rike_ Ruler
Full name: Shade Hale Wyman
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Scent: sweet primrose and a undertone of strawberry jam...
Hair: Shoulder length black hair he usually keeps in a ponytail
Eyes: Light brown with flecks of gold. Shows his sternness
Height: Around 5'10
Weight: Average, on the slender side, but well-built.
Skin Tone: light, but became sun-tanned
Body Shape: Average, lanky
Mother: Mary Prescott
Father: Everett Grant Wyman (deceased)
Sibling(s): A deceased half-brother, Lex Wyman
Extensive Family: none
Ranking: Ruler of Rike
Personality: Usually stern, Shade is a serious young man. He trains hard and works hard all the time. He puts on a hard face for the world, but he has a hidden sweet side not many people get to see that often. Although he's strict, he's still kind and very fair to his kingdom, resolving issues with authority and skill.
Shade likes to sit in his garden whether it's sniffing the roses or watching the goldfish. He also enjoys strawberry jam as that was the favorite food of his only friend when he was 12 (more about that below). Shade also likes to sword fight and exercise. When he's not busy, the wise young man holes up in his library and reads for hours at a time. He's most afraid of losing another person in his life, so he chooses not to develop any close bonds with anyone.
There's no one holding his interest right now as he feels he can't lose another loved one. But because he's devilishly handsome, conveniently young, exceedingly polite, adorably innocent and also an available bachelor, he definitely is someone on every girl's heart. Not to mention, probably a heart-breaker.
History: Born to Prescott and Wyman, Shade was half-royal, half-commoner. The past ruler of Rike, Everett Wyman, had an original son, Lex, who was the future ruler of Rike.
Later, Everett had a secret affair with Prescott, leading to the birth of Shade. However, in an unseen and unplanned for turn of events, Lex was murdered by an unknown assassin. In a bustle of activity, the castle of Rike was a mess at the time. Everett's wife and Lex's mother was devastated, leading to her eventual death where she fainted, and never woke up.
The affair was revealed not by Everett himself but by Prescott. After being born, Shade had been raised in secret in Prescott's home by his mother. He knew who his father was, but was detached from society because his mother never let him leave the house. Angered because of Everett leaving her, Prescott showed up on the castle steps, ready to blackmail him. So of course, Everett needed her out of the way. A dab of poison was all she needed. But when he slipped it in a chicken in the kitchen, unknowingly, he also caused his own death. It so happened that that same chicken was placed both in the king's plate as well as Prescott's...
But the interesting thing was, Prescott had known her days were ending. When her body was found, there was a piece of paper grasped firmly in her hand that uncovered Shade's existence. He was found, shaking in his cottage home, hidden in a large chest. When his mother had left a group of rogue thieves had broken in. When they were plundering the house, Shade had hidden in the chest, but when the rogues went to move the chest out the house, one man said that it was too heavy and to just leave it. It lead to an argument, which then lead to a sword fight, ending in Shade seeing a man ripped apart.
Brought to the castle, Shade was a scarred child. Not only an orphan, he had never had someone to hold him, to love him. His mother was a bitter, angry woman. He was raised and tutored well in the castle, but still detached. But when he turned 12, five years after he had been brought to the castle, he met a small servant girl, about the same age as he. Of course, no one allowed the two children together. So when they met in secret to talk and play together, a noble caught them and had the girl cruelly hanged, isolating Shade even further. When he turned 23, he was made the unofficial ruler of the kingdom, Rike. He dislikes being in court and controlling all the peoples lives' but he was taught the job as a responsibility. He makes most of the decisions in Rike with help from his council.
Clothing: Dressed in very simple clothes, Shade does not believe in finery and flashiness, only comfort and easiness to move around in.
Powers: Expert at sword fighting, Apprentice of magic
Passions: Sword fighting, reading, sitting in his garden, the occasional duel, and strawberry jam
