“That’s ‘King’ Adrian, damn it! Are you some kind of idiot or something?”
Age:
18
Gender:
Male
Sexual Orientation:
Bisexual (as in, he’s been around long enough not to care anymore)
Role:
King 1
Personality:
The thing that one would notice first and foremost upon meeting Adrian is his infamous temper. Not only was he known in life for being a spiteful, venomous ruler, he's prone to snapping and blowing his top at some of the slightest of provocations, even now. And when he does, "explosive" is a major understatement. When he was alive, his staff and subjects generally viewed him as ever-so-slightly off of his royal rocker, which he most certainly was not. He very much is on his rocker, it's just that it's a crooked one. He retains this bitter disposition to date, and, if anything, the fires of his inner rage have been amplified due to the fact that he was so mercilessly taken from his not-so-eternal rest in the afterlife. He is also very quick to judge people; he tends to decide within a moment whether or not he likes or dislikes a person. God have mercy if he doesn't like them. Typically, a person that Adrian has decided against tolerating will bear the brunt of his wrath when he starts to fly off the handle. This often leads to an obnoxiously thorough nitpicking of their personality as well. In short, he'll pick out and exploit even the tiniest character flaw in his attempt to vent his anger. Now, obviously, this bellicose behavior of his means that he doesn't make the greatest teammate. However, while he is most definitely not a very good follower, he does make up for this in the fact that he his a good leader, when everything's said and done. He knows how to do what has to be done, and, surprising as it may be, he knows how to motivate those that follow him (although, really, it's quite a sight to see). He does have his lulls in his anger, proving that he's not one-hundred percent angry one-hundred percent of the time. Although it technically isn't correct anymore, Adrian is most comfortable when referred to by royal titles; it sometimes even angers him enough to get him yelling again when people don't do so.
History:
In the years of his boyhood, Adrian was rightfully and accurately dubbed “Devil Child”, but not for the ordinary reasons a boy might have been given such a nickname. Rather than conventional mischief and japery that other children his age would partake in, Adrian was much darker in personality at that particular stage of his life. He was born the youngest of the three Alistair children, all of which were boys, and thus, as it appeared, was last in line to inherit the throne upon his father's death. As such, he was often overlooked in favor of his older brothers. One could almost (but not quite) go as far as to say that the boy was neglected by his parents. When he was alone (or thought he was), he would speak aloud to himself about murdering his older brothers, so that he might become king rather than them. But, every so often, he was overheard by a servant, who never failed to inform his parents something along the lines of, "Your Grace, with all due respect, I believe your youngest child is a psychopath." Not taking any chances, Adrian was thus further isolated from his family. All the while, his anger grew, brewed, and festered inside of him. When Adrian was introduced to his knight, his first words to the young man were, "I don't like you. Go away!" Er, something of that sort. But, upon realizing he was stuck with a glorified bodyguard, he decided to use his faithful vassal to his advantage. This involved several tasks, most of which fell into the category of illegal activities. But, Adrian had several people he didn't like, and how else was one to deal with people they didn't like? Although throughout his youth he was already a volatile soul, his violent temper would not fully blossom until he was an adult, because it was around that time that the untimely deaths of his two older brothers took place. They had died within four months of one another. Each had, according to healers at the time, contracted a wretched virus and had perished because of it. This conveniently left Adrian as the sole heir to the throne, something that most definitely pleased him. And, in time, his "dear" parents both passed, and with the death of his father, Adrian, in his right, was crowned the king at long last. His rule was one of iron; there was no room for "compassion" or "mercy" or "understanding". Such things were trivial. But because of this, crime had thus hit an all-time low for the kingdom, which subsequently had improved the quality of life for many people. Like any king, he had his supporters, as well as those who would have liked nothing more than to see him perish. Oddly, he married not before his reign began, but three years afterwards to the daughter of a nobleman, which satisfied a good many of the upper class. His first son died in infancy, due to a virus so oddly similar to the same one that had ravaged his family during his youth. While his wife spiraled into depression (she would end up committing suicide later on) he felt his rage grow more and more within him. About a year or so after the death of his wife, Adrian was killed by a massive cranial aneurysm caused by hypertension. In other words, he got so angry one day, his blood pressure skyrocketed, which caused the rupturing of an artery in his brain. Even in death, his animosity remains, and stands only to increase after his unwanted resurrection.

Crush:
N/A
Boyfriend/Girlfriend:
N/A
Height:
5’ 6”
Build:
Slight, but with some lean muscle hidden beneath his clothes, most of the time. He’s rather diminutive for someone who’s supposed to look the part of an adult (Here, the term “short” was not used, because he finds that very triggering).
Looks:
As previously mentioned, Adrian is slight of build. He has slim, narrow shoulders and, in all honesty, isn't exactly the height he would prefer to be. It's a real blow to his giant ego, which, in a way, compensates for his lack of "vertical progress". His hair is red (actually red, not orange), and short, his bangs choppy and can appear windswept at times. His limbs are skinny, and his skin possesses a rather embarrassing pallor (to him, in any case). Adrian's expression is (much more often than not) twisted into a slight, semi-permanent unhappy, dissatisfied frown. He still fails to be grateful that he was placed in a body with his own gender. His face has the potential to appear either very childish or very adult-like; one of the only things, though, that makes him appear adult is his ever-present superior glare.
Distinguishing Features:
Adrian, in his new form as a doll, has a feature known as heterochromia, meaning, simply put, that both of his eyes are colored differently from the other. His right eye is red, while the other is gold. It’s unconventional, but in its lack of normality, it is appealing in its own way.
Theme:
Puppet (Violin Cover)
