[hider=The Decadent Dandy] [h3]King Knight of Pridemoor Keep[/h3] [img]http://img08.deviantart.net/315c/i/2014/206/a/4/such_dandy_by_bizarrejuju-d7s6w1b.png[/img] "Be not timid!" [b]Nickname:[/b] Pridemoor [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Canon:[/b] Shovel Knight [b]Personality:[/b] Pridemoor takes, well, much [i]pride[/i] in himself. He has a very strong, commanding presence about him. He is charismatic, charming, and attentive to those around him when he chooses to be. Pridemoor is also very flamboyant and full of himself. He is also a smart person. However, his intelligence is often overshadowed by his lack of understanding for politics. His over usage of incorrectly used [i]fancy words[/i] doesn't help to show his brain either. The knight values power and admiration above all else, and dreams of reliving his days at Pridemoor Keep; his desire to rule once more inspired King Knight to call himself Pridemoor. Pridemoor believes himself to be of royal blood, when technically he's not. Insults towards his being of a [i]Self-Proclaimed King[/i] will make him furious. [b][s]Short[/s] Biography:[/b] Pridemoor, as he now calls himself, was once the great ruler of Pridemoor Keep. Well, he didn't really [i]own[/i] the property, he just overpowered the previous king with the Enchantress' mighty army. In his one week of glory, he spent his time doing the most kingly of things: practicing his royal strut, perfecting his wine glass gestures, searching for future queens at Pridemoor tavern, getting rejected, picking the color of confetti for his grand entrances. Pridemoor felt like a king, because he now was one, the only one that mattered, and all other kings sucked, because they weren't Pridemoor, and there was only one Pridemoor, and that was Pridemoor, that Pridemoor sitting over there, sitting on Pridemoor's throne, that belonged to Pridemoor. However, we live in a cruel world where all things good must end. For when that dastardly shovel fiend [i]visited[/i] Pridemoor, he not only refused to bow to our beloved king, but he also swindled him of his possessions and throne! Pridemoor Keep was taken over shortly after, and the original was king re-crowned. And what of our poor, far more superior king? He was forced to clean the halls of his [i]OWN[/i] kingdom! How unfair! How rude! How can someone unworthy of the throne march in and take it from Pridemoor? It was despicably uncanny. However, as we do live in a cruel world where all things good must end, we also live in a cruel world where all things good must end where the good can also be reincarnated into something grand. For a month into this work at Pridemoor Keep, the king was mysteriously taken away against his will to the futuristic land of [i][b]Suburbia[/b][/i]. Pridemoor quickly realized this to be a gift from the gods themselves: a new kingdom for Pridemoor to rule over! However, as we do live in a cruel world where all things good must end where the good can also be reincarnated into something grand, we also live in a cruel world where all things good must end where the good can also be reincarnated into something grand save for the times where the good isn't grand and you're left in a worse standing than before. Pridemoor quickly found himself unable to forcefully take the town over without an army. When he became apart of the community's politics, he couldn't get enough support to keep himself in the race. Rather easily, he was ultimately beaten by his much more qualified opponent. They aren't even a king! They can't rule over a people like Pridemoor can! After three years of living in the neighborhood, Pridemoor has found himself comfortably apart of the community. He is currently unemployed, as he was recently fired from his job at the local cafe for his temper towards customers. Pridemoor now spends his time hosting house parties in attempt to earn political support. Pridemoor hopes to run for mayor once more, very soon. This great land of Suburbia deserves a [b]King[/b], and nothing less! [b]Possessions:[/b] His kingly armor, his kingly crown, his kingly staff, an expired driver's license, and his kingly cape. [b]Abilities:[/b] Pridemoor isn't just a king, he's also a knight! A King Knight if you will! He knows how to fight. [b]Occupation:[/b] Unemployed, but he is trying to run for Mayor again. [b]Other:[/b] He despises the current mayor for beating him long ago. Pridemoor will childishly spread lies about his rival to give himself a better political standing.[/hider] [/center]
