His hair is definitely his father's. John looked at a picture of his father when he was his age and they look very similar. However, his skin tone is his mother's. She came from the south and John inherited her tan skin tone. It is the only thing that he got from her. The belief of his nation is that a citizen must be strong in mind, body, and soul. John is rather muscular from a life out in the country side. His constant swimming regime keeps him fit. He has a small tattoo of his country's flag on his right arm. John always keeps his hair short since that is the style back home. [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] [center][u]• Quiet • Loyal • Intelligent • [/u][/center] If an outsider were to look at the Prince, they would think him rather odd. He is quiet and always seems to be in his own world. This is quite normal back home. He was raised with scientists, so he acts likes one. He does understand the subtleties of being a royal but he clearly has issues with it. He just does not understand a lot of the more old fashioned attitudes. They do not fit with his world view. Balls and pageantry do not make sense. It's the modern area. This is normal for most people in Pelanor. John is kind to everyone and rarely holds a grudge. His ideas were so ingrained that his parents hired a tutor from a far away kingdom to help John fit in with the other royals. This tutor helped to teach him everything he knows about acting like a prince. He may not understand the need for it but he does enjoy a bit of "old fashioned" fun. He loves to learn and always seems to be writing something in his little leather journal.

As custom decreed, he was named after his recently deceased Uncle. John spent his first few years of life learning how to be a proper prince of Pelanor. This meant he was taught to read when he was three and how to write at four. He was taught how to swim almost as soon as he could walk. The frigid waters of the sea helped to shape him. The cold water never seemed to bother him. He was then trained by the local Inuit tribes. His father had always had a good relation with the natives and decided that their son should learn from them as well. So when John was eight years old, his father had him sent to one of the Inuit villages south of the Arctic Circle. While there, he gained a love of the land and the respect of his people. They taught him how to live off the land and how to take care of himself. He spent four years living with them before he was called back home to the capital. His father had decided that he needed to learn more. This time he was to learn about how to be a modern prince. The issue was that no one in Pelanor knew how a prince should act. They knew that he would need help to fit in. So they hired a tutor from a far away kingdom by the name of Sir Ethan Rogers. The King gave him the near impossible task of changing the young prince from a wild child to a proper gentleman. John didn't really like Rogers when he first met him. The man was the very definition of old world fop. His powdered wig did not help at all. However, Rogers took to the next to impossible task with gusto. Rogers taught John everything a prince would need even if John did not think that they were needed. He taught him to waltz and how to eat like a gentleman. John never really was able to understand the art of sword fighting. It was too archaic for his liking. Eventually, the young prince began to like his tutor as a friend and confidant. Rogers also taught him to play the piano since it was "a gentlemanly pursuit". Now, his father announced that he is to be betrothed to help the kingdom. Even though John hates the idea of an arranged marriage, he would do anything for his home. It was the proper thing to do.
