-Socrates
Role: Prince of the North
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-three
Nicknames: The name Cedric does not come with any nicknames, besides Ced or, if you are desperate enough, Ric(k). Only those close enough to Cedric may call him these names. Others are expected to call him by his title or "sir" or simply Cedric.
Height: Six feet, one inch
Weight: Two hundred and five pounds
Build: Strong and sturdy with well-defined muscles especially in his arms and abdomen
Hair Colour: Cedric's hair is such a dark brown, it would be considered black by most.
Eye Colour: His eyes are best described as light, hazy green with a tinge of gray around the outside.
Scars?: Cedric doesn't have many scars, considering he's never been in a war. However, he wears a few scars from training on his arms with pride, bragging occasionally about them to women and greatly exaggerating the circumstances surrounding the "wounds". He also has the occasional bruise or welt from the slap of an upset woman. These too, he tries to show off as battle wounds.
Brief Written Description: Built like a true Lancaster, Cedric stands at six feet and one inch, just a bit below his elder brother. In weight, however, he only falls five pounds short of his brother. Ced is a very well-built man with thick biceps and chiseled abdominals. This exterior appearance can be extremely intimidating to most (then again, who would mess with a man who stood so tall and was built so sturdily?). Ced has dark hair, which he usually keeps cut short. A thick stubble covers his chin and cheeks, though he trims it short for important events. Cedric's one defining trait, making him somewhat different than his elder brother, the king, is his eyes; light green with a mixture of gray, they certainly catch the attention of most. While he's never served in an actual war, he does bare a multitude of scars from training exercises.
Clothing Preference: Cedric is quite the show-off when it comes to clothing. For training, he usually only clads himself in trousers and boots, going shirtless. Inside, with just his family, he can be found wearing well-fitting tunics with trousers of some material and leather boots. For social events, he certainly goes all out, wearing fine fabrics in brilliant golds or dark greens. It is more for impressing women, however, than actually setting a good example for his family.
Skills:
* Cedric inherited a natural charisma from his father and has had his brother's charisma rub off on him. He speaks well in social situations, but can seem a bit rude or innappropriate in other situations due to his forceful ways of speaking and acting.
* Ced has a knack for crossbows. While he can wield a sword relatively well and decapitate a few training dummies, his real strength lies in his aim.
* Despite having not proved his strength in battle or having any power besides the title of Prince, Cedric is known for using his strength and muscle in arguments, going so far as to threaten if need be. He uses his fists more than his words.
* Let's just say he's quite talented in bed, too.
Quirks:
* He's shallow and hardly considers other's opinions.
* Cedric can drink much more than most men without becoming drunk. This is partially due to his body size but also due to the tolerance he's built up over the years of drinking.
Likes:
* Women
* Alcohol
* Control or power
* Fighting and sparring
* Glory or being respected/worshiped
* Crossbows
* Hunting
* Talking
* Sex
Dislikes:
* Being told what to do
* Disrespect
* Loud-mouths (besides himself)
* Women who reject his advances
* Lectures
* Fire
* Oceans
* Thunderstorms
* Working
Fears:
* One of Cedric's greatest fears, though it is quite trivial, is the fear of being rejected by a woman in a very public situation. His ego has swollen to such a size that, should such a thing occur, he'd become greatly ashamed.
* Though he is shallow, Ced, deep down, fears for his life and the life of his family in the impending war.
Written Description: In one phrase, Cedric is an arrogant, self-serving playboy. Besides his alluring charisma, strength, and skill in bed, Ced really has no redeeming qualities. He's lazy, planning to do no more work in his life than his has to while still reaping the benefits. Though so young, he's shallow and naive, caring only for his opinion and what he thinks. His passion for good alcohol and even better women constantly blinds him from the real world. In fact, it's a miracle he even knows of the meeting being held. Athletic and charismatic, he's a people person who could spend an entire day doing nothing more than hunting with his brother's court. He would do so, actually, if he weren't hungover most mornings. He has a minor fear of fires, having burned himself as a child, and of oceans, fearing he'll drown despite his strength. He actually can't swim, surprisingly enough. Thunderstorms are just annoying to him; they disrupt things and make the ground outside wet and hard to practice on. One of his only fears is that of losing his family. He will protect them through thick and thin, despite his usual ways.
Relationship Status: He is single, although certainly not looking for a long time relationship.
Family: Orion Lancaster (brother); Amalie Lancaster (sister-in-law); Elenna Lancaster (sister)
Secret Word: This is War
