[@Savage]I have an idea of a runaway prince/noble son turning mercenary, and was wondering if you preferred either, and if there was anything I needed to note of making a (former) highborn.

So based on the research I've done, which I admit isn't very extensive and just a very broad surface level, Princes are a pretty high noble title. Usually this is given to the son(s) of the king. Sometimes this isn't the case, and that's pretty much were I stopped reading because all of the politics of Medieval Europe are very confusing. Anyway, fact is that the current king, Osfirth II, has no kids. So being a prince wouldn't work out to well, however there are many other high ranking noble classes that exist. See the last hider I made for a link to a page about the ranks of nobility, it will be able to help you out I think. 

Other than that, just keep in mind that the life of a noble is pretty much like playing King of the Hill. You are always squabbling with all the others to try and out do them in the eyes of the King and gain more prestige, land, and power. Other than that though you have a great deal of freedom to write out your character.
