”I am a Paladin first, a Prince second, and a man third.”

Image


Nickname- N/A (at the moment)


Age-22


Gender-Male

[font=papyrus][size=190]The first thing many people notice is Uxio's height. While being tall enough to have a commanding presence, Uxio isn't a giant. In fact, when he is in uniform armor, he is hard to distinguish from other knights or paladins he might be with. As for his features, though, he takes after his father, with very light blonde hair, high cheekbones, and an elegant air about him. His face, though handsome, is not known to have a very regal impression, being not quite rugged, but not altogether elegant or refined as well.


Eye color-Dark brown


Hair-Blonde


Height-5'11"


Weight-152


Skin Tone- Somewhat tanned, but one can still tell that he is, or would be, very pale.


Build- Uxio's body is strong, honed more by sparring, fighting and being a soldier than other physical work. Whereas, as a child, he was slender, now he is muscular and physically fit.


Body Markings- Uxio lacks many visible scars, but has small ones nonetheless.


MENTALITY: Simply put, Uxio prefers to keep busy. When idle for more than a few days, he begins to feel anxious and, as he says, "restrained". Thus, he spends most of his time in the service of the army. He is not, however, a stranger to times of rest, as he often naps during the day when he has nothing else to do. In front of the general peoples of the kingdom, he is a confidant, heroic man who has accomplished many amazing feats at a young age. In front of his family and close friends and allies, it is almost as though he has not outgrown his youth. He will often think of his own shortcomings and problems, though knowing full well that he is surrounded by those with far more serious issues to deal with. When push comes to shove, though, Uxio will act. Whether or not the actions are right doesn't matter, as he often leaves the consequences to deal with afterwards.
”QUOTE"


Fears- His own shortcomings as heir to the throne


Likes- Uxio does enjoy his popularity as the Prince, and makes the most of it. At the same time, he enjoys the life of a soldier and Paladin.


Dislikes- His father, being in one place for too long


Quirks- Uxio will sometimes try to get all of his sleep done during the day, as at night he is often plagued by nightmares.


Personality- As always, a prince must be a leader. In front of others, Uxio is enigmatic, decisive, cares for his people and subordinates, and acts the model of a prince celebrated by the people of the kingdom. When he is truly angry, he often acts rashly, without thought to his own well being or the well being of others. Often times, he is actually the same person he acts like. But his own self-doubt makes him unsure and weak, traits which he does not show to others.


Relationships: King (Father), Queen (Mother), younger sister, younger brother. More relationships will possibly be announced.


History- Uxio began life as any prince of his kingdom might- he was well educated, taught to be a leader, how to fight, and learned many advanced things at a young age. Not out of talent, but out of the skill of his teachers, and his own perseverance and desire to please the king and his people. Not only that, but, as a part of the royal family, he displayed a high aptitude for magic, in which he was also trained. At the age of twelve, he began training to become a knight of the kingdom. He experienced fighting and war soon after, and became accustomed to it. By the age of fifteen, he was working his way to becoming one of the King's Paladins. By that time, he had done much to display his skills in being a military leader, even if not naturally inclined to the arts of strategy. By the age of nineteen, he had accomplished great feats in the name of the king, enough to earn him the title of the King's best Paladin.




P.S. please ignore the name in the image. I am unable to draw well and have thus resorted to using someone else's picture for my character, obviously.

So begins...

Uxio Rocha's Story

Uxio Rocha looked down at the boy on the ground at his feet. In all honesty, he was at a loss as to what to say. To him, it seemed like a boy had just thrown himself from the crowd. Not that something like that hadn't happened before, but for a split-second his training had taken over and be had been about to take the ragged little creature's head clean off.

So now he stood over a reddening boy, one that couldn't be over the age fifteen or sixteen, maybe less judging by the lack of even a hint of hair on his lip, a hand on the hilt of his blade. As Uxio took another second to take look at the boy, his gaze fell on the sword. It was splintered hunk of wood, barely fit to be called a stick. A smile spread across Uxio's face. Not the Prince's smile. A smile of nostalgia. One from hot summer days spent swinging a wooden sword, dreaming of becoming a knight worthy of the adoration of the kingdom. A hero.

But soon the moment passed and the Prince was back. A porcelain puppet pulled by elegant silk strings. The Prince of the kingdom was not the Paladin Uxio, the champion. He was the gentle, caring man beloved by the people of the kingdom, and the man they hoped to follow. He had not the power of the Paladin, nor the human qualities that Uxio himself had buried beneath the surface. He was royal and elegant. But to Uxio, this was no act nor puppetry. This was him to his people and the way he must be. And that was simply it.

And so the Prince took his hand and put the boy on his feet, giving the boy a wide smile... Until he saw the boy's eyes. When he saw the boy's eyes, he felt the Prince slip away, replaced by the sense of duty, of honor. Of the power he wielded in the name of his kingdom. The eyes of the Paladin stared into this peasant boy's own like they would reveal some great secret. And the Paladin grinned. Had he ten warriors with eyes like that, full of fire, wise of things far beyond the years they had seen, an army of thousands would stand not a chance.

"What's your name?" Said the Paladin, already confident of one of his choices. "Never too early to start recruiting."

And deep inside, the Man in Uxio wished sullenly that he should have eyes such as those.

A sour frown formed across the face of Lieutenant Abreu, in stark contrast to the smile that lit up the prince's. Though he had come to expect behavior of this sort from his prince and commander, the seasoned lieutenant nonetheless could not understand his motives. If the boy was fit to be in the army, which, in the eyes of the lieutenant, was not the case, then he would very easily be able to pass the tests that they would hold in the center of the town. But the prince still chose to recruit this small, rather girlish boy. Abreu wouldn't have been surprised if the child hadn't done a day's work in his life, as fragile as he looked.

With one last glance behind him at the small company of soldiers and back at the prince and their newest edition, he sighed. Hopefully this town would have better to offer.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ten youths, not including Sayd, had been picked by Uxio's second in command, Abreu. It was a large town, but not by any means large enough for them to expect any more.

Uxio, at least, was satisfied. He would have been satisfied even if none of the boys who applied to recruit had been selected.

"Sir. May I ask you a question?" the voice of Abreu said to the side.

Uxio glanced at him and nodded. "Of course."

"That boy. Sayd. Why did you not have him go through the proper procedures?" Abreu said, straight and to the point.

Uxio glanced over at Sayd, who he had told to wait while the recruitment was going on. "He would have passed," he answered simply.

"How do you know?" replied the older man.

Uxio shook his head. Abreu was a logical and serious man. It made him a good commander of the troops and strategist when it came down to it, but all he saw in Sayd was a skinny, untrained boy.

"Trust me. He would have. If he's not cut out for the life of a soldier, I'll personally have him sent home."

Abreu nodded. "I will trust you on this, sir. But I won't go any easier on him than the others."

Uxio nodded and turned away as Abreu left. He hasn't expected anything less. Now, though, he made his way to Sayd.

"Sayd. We'll be leaving to make up camp for the night near the village in a few minutes," Uxio told him, all business now. "I thought I should warn you that if I or one of the others in command finds you lacking as a soldier in training, I may have to remove you from my company. This is a rule that applies to you more than any other recruits. Think of it as a price for any of the... Special treatment you may recieve."

Uxio smiled at him now. "And speaking of that, I expect to begin training immediately after the camp is set up and you receive your equipment." He paused. "Unless, of course, you would rather spend your time getting acclimated to your new lifestyle."

Jorg
Jorg had been traveling with the slaves for ten miles until they met a rendevou point where he left them to a larger force led by a loyal captain. He took ten bandits with him to move to another rendevou fifteen miles north of Mill Pines. There was a small military outpost that would send out a patrol to the now smoky town. The patrol would need to be destroyed so that the group holding the slaves wouldn't be hunted down. "Alright men!" Jorg shouted to his bandits. "We're going to get the the rendvou before sunset so no resting!"


Kork
Kork was a Lieutenant in Jorg's rabble of bandits and was ordered to kill the Prince. One of the neighboring kingdoms was willing to pay big gold for Uxio's head. The plan was that twenty bandits would set fire to the local tavern as well as killing civilians to draw the soldiers to them. On the way there the archers who had hidden on the rooftops would send volleys at the prince. If that wasn't enough he had ten bandits hidden in the crowds. He was stationed with the five archers on top of a roof top. He waited a few moments until a smoke gradually rose into the air, starting as a small puff to a river of smog. Then there were screams as his troops began to hack at any near the tavern. Kork's drawing finger was getting itchy.
