Ydrian’s presence is casual, possibly harkening towards the “noble fool” archetype though he likes to believe he exudes a daring persona and not an idiotic one. Setting in at five foot ten with well kempt but purposely loose hair colored a rich brown with irises of cerulean all it takes is for a ragged cloak for the handsome albeit unassuming prince to disappear into a crowd. He is well-toned and muscular, but due to his frame and genetics does not bulk to the size of a zkreli or phoeni. He holds many scars upon his back, alongside the side of his neck, and a particularly bad sword gash alongside the top of his left forearm. A fact he keeps generally covered with cloth or bindings due to his discontent toward the particular memory. Being from one of the more rural houses he lacks a huge wealth and his appearance shows that with simplistic cloaks, base tunics and longcoats, and on occasion chainmail and scalemail armor. However due to the dangers of the wilds around Kalcia if he is about he generally styles towards a dexterous defense rather than taking the brunt of the damage. Heavy armor is slow and cumbersome. His only possession of some note is a plain iron locket he keeps around his neck— it’s significance is unknown.

I’m afraid my son is all too willing to repeat my youthful errors; he may not be so fortunate as I to find a love to reign him in.” —King Thoren I Hawkhart Many could suppose Ydrian is pretty easy to read, but then again Ydrian prefers paintings over books in the first place. Though with that said there is more to the boy than perversions, curiosities, and resilience. Ydrian’s childhood was defined by adventure, curiosity, swords, and the study of knighthood even though he never became a squire. It was here that his most positive traits were framed from an early age and as those developed while he matured never relented— no, Ydrian Hawkhart was not someone who betrayed his ideals and sense of adventure. Though perhaps he became too adventurous— a sentiment uttered by many at Hawk’s Rest as the boy came to his own as he exhibited a likability that his father held in his own vivacious youth. Developing a reputation as a senseless flirt, fool, and letch in many ways due to his attraction to the females of Hawk’s Rest and their reactions to the words he uttered to them. At his centre Ydrian does not think he is particularly lustful or debaucherously poignant but rather views himself as a honest romantic in a time where the “rules of attraction” were drawn up to prevent youthful men and women from being themselves. A fact he extends to his discontent of people who put up too many excuses and political fortifications to truly be themselves which he considers a greater sin then having intercourse before marriage. “People should fly free.” he often recites in-between assaults by angry denizens who find him intrusive. Truth will be told however that despite his Casanova-like reputation that no man should dare call him dishonorable in his actions— a phrase he refuses to let go without consequences brought down upon those who question his manners, ideals, and most of all his honor. A challenge to a duel is most often uttered by Ydrian in reaction to the aforementioned situation and his opponents are generally more than willing to attempt to teach him a lesson. A lesson he has never learned, apparently. In extension to his ideals and manners, Ydrian is rarely rude and tries to be tactful in his casual honesty and doesn’t utilize his “antics” in such a way that is outright manipulative; he only wishes to exchange pleasantries and make a connection with someone. Perhaps this is his curiosity evolving into a sort of wanderlust. After all, a romantic knight in a time of peace is just a loving wanderer with a sword. [/color][/indent] [color=B48D51][sub][ ♚ ] C H I L D H O O D[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Ydrian Hawkhart is the heir apparent to The Kingdom of Kalcia should his two brother’s perish or become disinherited. The son of King Thoren I Hawkhart and Queen Aurelia Wolfe, Ydrian was named born six and ten years ago in Hawk’s Rest. The winds of Kalcia were a peaceful and idyllic outreach for Ydrian’s chilldhod, though he often found himself getting into troublesome adventures well before he was able to comprehend how dangerous the hills beyond the city itself were for any soul less alone an energetic child. To quell his adventurous spirit he was accompanied consistently by proven knights and his brothers as his father believed that Ydrian had to understand and being locked away in seclusion was only going to make him dour and even more adamant about doing what he wanted to do— the worn King would often mention House Hawkhart’s house words consistently to reinforce this fact. After all, you cannot chain down a Hawkhart in full as they will always find a way to want to spread their wings and fly free. However, King Thoren would soon realize how much Ydrian was like him in reality when he became old enough to start causing trouble beyond being adventurous and curious. A happening that would become a burden for the king and a nuisance for his people. A very gratuitous nuisance. In additions to his exponential growth as a swordsman and potential knight Ydrian learned he also held talents in being magnetic towards people; particularly women. Whether it was with his antics, company, or how he looked it always seemed like he could never say the wrong thing and when he did his companions wrote it off as him acting like a jester. Following his first affair with the young sister of a servant at Hawk’s Rest when he was three and ten years past his nameday a whole new world became revealed to him and the stories about his father’s “conquests” only started to make sense. For many this began Ydrian’s downward spiral that few could’ve predicted due to the fact it seemingly came out of nowhere with no pretext to really trigger the behavior. Many courtiers in his father’s court gossiped about many theories but even with nicknames such as “The Harem Prince” bothered him none. After all, such people did not know him so their belief was founded in speculative ignorance. However things only seemed to get worse as he found himself getting into trouble. It seemed the only way his father could keep him from “conquering” the whole kingdom was to have him focus solely on his martial education; though he had never exactly waned in his training, duels, or jousts. Eventually things reached the breaking point and King Thoren decided Ydrian needed to be educated where more eyes could be on him with girls who wouldn’t let his foolish behavior woo them— The Conclave.[/color][/indent] [color=B48D51][sub][ ♚ ] M O T I V E S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]His father’s words were pretty clear— either Ydrian learns some proper manners at The Conclave or he need not come back at all. He was a little hurt by his father’s threats especially considering the stories they told of the young Lord Thoren in his youth. But words were words and his father was lord of the kingdom. Besides, despite the reputation of the overbearing “citadel” that The Conclave was Ydrian was positive he’d meet someone quite beautiful there and that was worth all of his wine and paramours being taken away. [/color][/indent] [color=B48D51][sub][ ♚ ] C R E D E N T I A L S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75][u][b]Diplomacy:[/b][/u] For a tromani, Ydrian seems to have a way about the science of language better than any other of his siblings. This isn’t to say he uses immaculate words or is utterly airtight in debates— it means he is charming, convincing, and likeable or at least to the point of deception; and worst of all is that he [i]knows[/i] it. As a fan of the more interesting gender he has wooed many in his attempts though living in a rural kingdom has its disadvantages. His father prays he has no bastards lying around. [b]Faith:[/b] From his perspective religious studies are dreadfully dull and pointless. The scriptures are there and god isn’t. It’s not like he’s cynical about the goddess, it’s just that outside of the words she’s left she isn’t a big player in things anymore. He did like the part where Gaea is said in the scriptures to follow your heart and find the one person you care about to be in union with. It might take him awhile to find that special someone though. It’s alright, he’s had a head start practicing in that matter. [b]Intrigue:[/b] Knowing secrets are nice, but Ydrian prefers people telling him them over elaborating a whole scheme to get information. If a woman isn’t interested he’ll try again but he won’t do it underhandedly like some sort of crow. In the realms of politics he imagines that if he ever inherits he’ll just hire a talented spymaster like his cousin, Aleron. [b]Magic:[/b] It’s interesting, but his father never had the coin for a court wizard. He supposes he could learn a thing to do if there are some alluring girls in the class to help… tutor him. [u][b]Martial:[/b][/u] Before becoming lords, the Hawkhart’s were knights of a greater tromani house and in a line of tradition continued to this day Ydrian keeps his sword sharp and his body sharper. This is his most skilled asset even with his skills in charm and diplomacy taken into account— a fact that is clear when he goes into any mock (or actual) duels even with a little inebriation. The sword is like an additional limb and he has proven he is a better swordsman than his brothers and could be better so then his father one day. Ydrian is also a surprisingly decent brawler with a good eye and reflex in a fight; he has on one occasion beat a drunk knight after the two got into a particular scuffle over said knight’s daughter... Ydrian won. [b]Stewardship:[/b] The science of managing coin is so boring to Ydrian, and understandably so for someone who uses what others have saved for him in one or two ways— visiting the blacksmith or visiting the jewelsmith. He is no mathematician that much is for sure.[/color][/indent] [color=B48D51][sub][ ♚ ] C O M P A N I O N S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]In all honesty as much as King Thoren would’ve liked to, the Kingdom of Kalcia simply cannot afford to send much of anyone. He would sent his elder sons along with Ydrian had they not been important and the kingsguard is so small it is hard to really bother especially with King Thoren repurposing the bulk of the kingsguard into protectors of the people. So with one or two male servants it is with a heavy heart that Ydrian travels unaccompanied. [/color][/indent] [color=B48D51][sub][ ♚ ] R E L A T I O N S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75][b][color=00a651]★★★★[/color] Princess Aleandra Charlottian Pridedane:[/b] Similarly aged to Princess Aleandra and with relations between their houses going back centuries, it was no surprise the two had met prior. In the earliest moments of his childhood, Ydrian had a sort of friendly acquaintanceship with the ever so perfect princess and admittedly by the time he was ten years past his nameday he found himself to have developed his first crush to a girl through her— feelings he never admitted. He liked her company as rare as it was, but as the years went on it became evident that would be the last time he would see her as both his parents found his sudden shift towards wild vivaciousness and promiscuity as counterproductive toward further relations with House Pridedane and unbenowst to him was effectively banned from such interactions. He’s oblivious to whatever she thinks of him but is thrilled to possibly be continuing their acquaintanceship at The Conclave. If only he knew. [b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Princess Anareliea Ayelet Hulevia:[/b] Ydrian has not had the pleasure of meeting the daughter of the late Patriarch, but from what he knows she is a very political creature with a distinct opinion on theology that could prove difficult to deal with. However, Ydrian does not make presumptions based on gossip and chooses to take people as they actually are when he meets them. [b][color=00a651]★★★★[/color] Prince Brendan Ophelius Tromvara:[/b] Ydrian once sprouted a friendship with Prince Brendan when he was a boy barely one and ten past his nameday during the coronation of the King of Tromania to which House Hawkhart had been invited to attend as tromani houses tended to be. Growing more confident in himself, Ydrian had taken up several growing passionate interactions at the event including Lady Rivellia whom unsurprisingly was alongside Prince Brendan. Perhaps it was Ydrian’s confidence or his wild passion that struck interest from the tromani prince, but the two did not part on negative terms and continued to talk through letters subsequently. [b][color=f7941d]�[/color] Prince Edgar Kazimir Marlowe:[/b] [b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Prince Ezran Selran Taake:[/b] Ydrian isn’t particularly sure if he’s met with Prince Ezran in his life or not, but given their similarity in ages and records as skilled swordsmen of his generation he is rather excited to meet him. Perhaps they can have a friendly duel to see which is better— aladori steel or tromani steel? wardens of the wood or frontier knights? It would be interesting to see who comes out on top in such a friendly rivalry. [b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Prince Seldo Leonine Forletus:[/b] He has never met the Prince of Forlonia by any margin of knowledge, though his grace and intelligence has been praised by many individuals who have spoken his name within Ydrian’s presence at imperial events. Such things are a non-factor in his wisdom of Prince Seldo and he wonders how far his grace and intelligence actually go but not in a dismissive manner— Ydrian is legitimately curious. He looks forward to meeting him at the very least. [b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Prince Maco Subdar Queon:[/b] Ydrian has never met the Prince of Phoenis as far as he can recall, nor has he heard much things said about him that he could have overheard. Thus he is particularly unknowing in what Prince Maco could be like. [b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Princess Rhelissa Sevareviel Fel:[/b] Outside of the possibility of meeting Princess Rhelissa at a gala, ball, or something of the sort it is clear that if he has met the Princess of Aladore it has been something that was so insignificant it was forgotten possibly by both of the parties involved. He of course knows of her reputation as a quiet girl with an insensitive and razor-sharp wit that intimidates many of her peers, but such gossip is something he doesn’t think about often as he feels it uncourteous of him to dally in such talks that lack honor— people are more than what people think of them. He looks forward to knowing her if she wishes to. [b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Princess Telaivas Telamonius Turanis:[/b] Princess Telaivas and Ydrian haven’t particularly met and all he knows is the obscure amount people have whispered in the halls of Hawk’s Rest which is nearly non-existent. So to Ydrian she is an unknown force that he only knows by name and name alone. [/color][/indent]
