Hmmm, the 'lieutenant' could be a favored 'whipping boy' of the eldest prince [Who i'm going to be making once there's a CS and more details to work with] =3 that is to say, someone he 'spars with' on occasion and seems to use to show off, but ultimately is just 'maintaining his princely demeanor' while helping to nurture a guard showing potential over the rest, even he does so in a way that hurts... he wouldn't be the only one of course, just, so far, the only one controlled by a player XDTo be more specific, full contact sparring, forcing someone into a position where they can't 'hold back because he's a prince' and allowing him to both keep himself sharp and inject a bit of more viable experience into the guard... afterall, nanny pandering around him being a prince and making it easy would just leave him a less suitable swordsman should he ever need to 'defend the realm' XDI

Yes, a sparring partner would be an interesting involvement for this character within the role-play. I am more drawn towards my character and Drake's wet-boy character to be childhood friends and at some point down the line being betrayed by Drake's character. Thus the role-play leading off to the capture mission of Drake's character which leads my character and his character through a series of locations. Awesome hunting time.

Edit: 

I might also involve a father figure into this role-play for my character. I am still trying to decide whether they will be related or not, this father figure. While the mission to chase and apprehend Drake's character is waiting to be accepted, he will try to convenience my younger character not to go. At some point perhaps the father figure will follow him and be killed by Drake's character which will dramatic change his thinking, perhaps turn him evil through the obnoxious blame of others.
