Age: 12
Appearance & Build: Roth is unlike many Ursuuls. He has fair smooth tanned skin without hardly any blemishes, only a few freckles on his cheeks. His hair his brown and often messy as he hardly ever takes care of it. Like his father he has blue eyes, but they are very light. He has long eyebrows and very red lips. Unlike his other kin, Roth is small and frail.
Personality: Roth is a creative, curious, and idealistic to a T. When he finds something that he doesn't quite understand he tries to figure it out or at least try to firmly grasp the idea. He likes the idea of creating a cultural exchange in Khalidor and opening friendly relations with the South. As a pacifist he strongly believes that all life is sacred and should never be taken from anyone. HHe does, however, know that sometimes war is necessary even if he doesn't like it. He is also strongly against human bondage.
Roth knows that his father is very harsh, yet he still loves him even so. Though he does not believe his father should sit on the throne as he thinks that the country needs a kinder leader instead of a feared one.
Who are they: Roth Ursuul, heir to the Godking of the Empire of Khalidor.
Where they live: Though he had lived in Khalidor for most of his life, Roth is currently in Galapagos city overseeing a smugglers guild.
Past: When Wanhope traveled south to visit foreign lands after he took the throne, he took a fancy to a baker's daughter in Galapagos City. Upon her pregnancy he took her back to Khalidor to raise his future aethling. That was Roth's mother. Most aethling were thick with only Khalidoran blood, but not Roth. he had the blood of two nations in him and his mother constantly reminded him of that. Growing up he was not like his brothers (Those that Wanhope had sired with various other women). He took interest in academic studies instead of traditional studies of war that future Godkings were taught. His tutor was Fayvus, the last known elf in Khalidor who had been enslaved by Roygarris himself and watched over the royal library.
While the other children studied strategy, he would study mathematics. When they tested magic, he tested science experiments with his tutor. He became well versed in the history, geography, and languages of various countries not only his own. He studied trade, diplomacy, and philosophy as well. Fayvus hoped that these studies would guide Roth to the path of becoming a more fair ruler than his ancestors.
Wanhope assigned Roth to his rite of passage to become an heir when he reached ten. With the help of an advising meister, he was to establish a smuggling operation in Galapagos to smuggle grain into Khalidor. Roth and his adviser worked relentlessly each day to gain a high status in already existing smuggling dens. After one and a half years, as well as merging three thieves guilds too, the mission was a success. Although many smugglers died when caught by the patrols they did send much needed grain into Khalidor. Thus Roth became the only current heir to the throne.
Unbeknownst to his father, Roth's guild also gained much profit by smuggling people in/out of Khalidor. Political fugitives could find the country safe from their enemies and smuggling Khalidoran slaves into Galapagos to be freed.
equipment: Padded cotton with leather straps, a flute, a lute, and a dragon glass dagger that his father gave to him for show.
