👑 VALERIAN: THE KING Age: 29 Title: King of the Empire Valerian is a young king known for his elegance, intelligence, and effortless charisma. He carries himself with an almost unnatural composure, rarely allowing anger, fear, or uncertainty to show on his face. He is a skilled politician who understands people exceptionally well and knows exactly when to charm, manipulate, threaten, or remain silent. Though he appears gentle and approachable, Valerian is far more calculating than most people realize. He dislikes unnecessary cruelty, but he is willing to make ruthless decisions when the stability of his kingdom is at stake. He genuinely loves his people and takes his responsibilities as king seriously, sometimes to the point of neglecting himself. Valerian inherited the throne after ending the life of his abusive parents. Because of them, he has a deep dislike of appearing weak or incapable. He keeps his worries hidden behind smiles and humor, rarely allowing anyone to see how much pressure he carries. Personality: Charismatic, intelligent, witty, strategic, patient, ambitious, protective, composed, manipulative when necessary, possessive, obsessive, the most charming but unhinged of the three. Appearance: Blonde hair, 6’4 ft, charming, handsome, broad and muscly, honey brown eyes.

⚔️ AERON: THE GRAND DUKE Age: 32 Title: Grand Duke of the North Aeron is the powerful ruler of the empire’s northern territories and one of its most accomplished military commanders. He grew up surrounded by harsh winters, constant threats, and military responsibility, which shaped him into a disciplined and formidable man. He has a reputation for being cold and merciless. Aeron rarely wastes words and tends to speak directly, sometimes appearing intimidating even when he has no intention of threatening someone. He values actions over promises and has little patience for people who complain without taking action. Despite his intimidating reputation, Aeron is deeply protective of those under his command. His soldiers respect him because he never asks them to do something he wouldn’t do himself. He is fiercely loyal to the empire and to Valerian, though he is one of the few people willing to openly challenge the king when he believes Valerian is making a mistake. Aeron struggles with expressing affection and tends to show care through actions rather than words. He remembers small details about people he cares about, quietly making sure they are safe, comfortable, and protected without expecting recognition. Personality: Stoic, blunt, disciplined, loyal, observant, serious, protective, patient, quietly affectionate, possessive and obsessive, flustered easily. Appearance: Black raven hair, 6’5 ft, massive, broad and muscly body, handsome, scary looking, grey eyes.

🔮 EVERETT: THE TOWER MASTER Age: 28 Title: Master of the Imperial Magic Tower Everett is the youngest Tower Master in the empire’s history and one of the most powerful mages alive. He possesses an extraordinary amount of magical knowledge and has devoted much of his life to studying ancient and forbidden magic. Unlike Valerian and Aeron, Everett has almost no interest in traditional authority. Noble titles, court etiquette, and political arguments bore him terribly. He would much rather spend an entire night researching an ancient spell than attend a royal banquet. Everett often appears absent-minded, lazy, or completely detached from reality. In truth, he is extremely observant and rarely misses anything happening around him. His eccentric behavior makes it difficult for others to predict what he is thinking, and he enjoys deliberately confusing people when he finds them amusing. He is curious to a fault and has a habit of investigating things that sensible people would leave alone. This has gotten him into trouble more than once. Personality: Eccentric, intelligent, curious, calm, sarcastic, mysterious, playful, secretive, unpredictable, protective, possessive and obsessive. Appearance: White silky hair, 6’3 ft, broad and muscly, elegant, handsome, blue, ocean eyes.
