Here's an example of a CS, with some sections of course omitted due to inapplicability: [hider=King Joffre II 'The Valiant' of Fauchier] [b]Dynasty:[/b] of Gamme [b]Titles:[/b] Most Honored King of Fauchier. Duke of Gamme. Count of Dantène. [b]Appearance/Personnality:[/b] King Joffre II of Fauchier fits his title well: he is the very personnification of the Fauch ideal. This is not necessarily a good thing. True, he is the noblest knight in the kingdom, and his valor and courage in battle are renown the world over. Nevertheless, his arrogance similarily outstrips any of his peers, and he is prone to emotional outbursts, rushing to action blindly without considering the consequences. At the age of 37, he has the appearance of a sellsword a decade older, covered in scars from old battle-wounds, his complexion aged prematurely by the stresses of his office. He is almost always in horsed and in armor, charging off to one battlefield or another, and he is notoriously ill-tempered when forced to stay in one place for extensive periods of time. [b]Biography:[/b] Joffre was born in the year 7601 to King Eros II, his birth marking the height of Fauch power. His father would be gone for the first years of his life, fighting in foreign lands against the Etrurian Emperor over control of the strategic county of Ruthweiler. When his father returned, it was covered in glory, having inflicted a crushing defeat on the Imperials. Joffre was four years old at the time. He grew up much as any prince, with the best tutors, and spoiled rotten. Nevertheless, his life was doomed to be one of trouble. King Eros's health began to falter not long after Joffre reached manhood, but instead of dying, as most expected, he continued to linger on, clinging to life as his reason failed him and he became more and more wretched. The King's weakness opened the doors of the Royal Palace to the ravenous aristocrats who had for many generations been deprived of titles and powers. These nobles shamelessly abused the King's declining health in order to extract land and wealth from the crown. Among them was Oran, Duke of Coromis, who managed to snatch the recently conquered Ruthweiler from the King's possession, citing ill-rule. This enflamed Joffre, and began a life-long feud between the two. The Crown Prince began to assert himself increasinly in government, though he was utterly inept at the art of ruling, being ruled by his passions, and not by reason. He ignited a low-level rebellion by imprisoning a group of nobles, among whom was the Duke Oran, on pretext of conspiracy against the Crown. Their relatives quickly seized several key loyalist castles, humiliating the Prince in the field. In the end, cooler heads managed to prevail, and the war was avoided under a comprimise deal, under which the captives would be released in exchange for the return of the castles, but Joffre always saw this as a mistake, that he should have continued the war, and exterminated his enemies among the aristocracy. King Eros II, now known as 'the Senile', finally passed away in the year 7627, and Joffre was crowned in the same year. The decade since has seen more of the same sort of rashness and arrogance on his part, with many whispering that his reign has only survived so long thanks to the able counselors of his father, most of whom are now. In particular, his conflict with the Duke of Coromis has grown more bitter and violent with every passing year, as assassinations and underhanded attacks have grown increasingly common. [/hider]
