Name: Zale (meaning "sea-strength")
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Mer/man
Position: Prince of Atlantis
Sexual Orientation: Hetero-sexual
Status: Single
Ability: Water Manipulation, Water Sorcery (Water is on his side basically, though too much use would just weaken him)
Zale is a beautiful and handsome Merman, though unlike the tale by the Finnish, he had no beard but a soft skin upon his rounded face with sea-blue eyes which complimented his blue hair and his blue fish tail. He is quite tall, though hard to put a precise measurement due to his tail, but is very talented...in music, in song, in swimming (obviously), looking very majestic (being a Prince and all). Though he may not be able to cure illnesses, lift curses and brew potions as legends speak, they do have a great deal of knowledge of the sea and all it has to offer, and are gentle creatures....unless they are threatened.
To Zale, he can never get tired living in the sea, and he can't afford to with his responsibilities. He has quite a few different attires that he wears on his human part, just so he isn't showing off his chest all the time (though he doesn't bother him yet does make him look cool). For arms, the King holds the Trident while he carries a Golden Spear, though he has two small crysknives that he holds for protection that his guards insist on if he will not let them come with him.
Note: Image to the left shows two images in one, but is the same one just at different angles with different attires
Personality: Being a Prince, means he has quite a bit of responsibility, despite the King seated at the throne, but as the King gets older and older, Zale is forced to pay attention. Now being a Prince, many females would dream of being rescued by a brave young knight or being married to a handsome Prince, but the job that comes with it isn't one to be enticed by. Zale enjoys his freedom, being able to relax, keeping the other merman happy (and of course the mermaids by simply seeing him) with his relaxed nature.
However, despite how laid back he may be, he is pretty blunt, states things how they are and moves on. What is past, is past. What is the future, is the future, living each day to the full. Though how harsh he may be, he is pretty cool and does genuinely care of those around him and what he does not like is his people in danger (though he may not be King, they are still his people).
History: Zale is the son of King Tridon. It is believed that Tridon's line came from the line of Triton, son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, some believe they came from king Neptune himself, whereas some believe that they came from Glaucus who ate some grass with magical properties and became a Merman, having more human properties, which explained why Merfolk began to get interested in humans rather than living in harmony.
Whatever line they came from, they were the Rulers of Atlantis, with the aged King Tridon on the throne, and his heir, Prince Zale, who also had the task of making sure he had an heir rather than play around. When the mermaids laid eggs, not every one was successful, and for poor King Triton, he only had one son compared to his father who had 4 sons and 3 daughters, so he had great expectations for Zale and saw him doing great things, though it wasn't showing much now. He was such a mystery, but perhaps now that he was getting older, that he would start opening up...
