I love only that which they defend."[/i]-[b]J.R.R. Tolkien[/b][/sub][/center] [indent]Leonard Jaegar Fords[/indent] [b][u]Nickname:[/u][/b]Leon [b][u]Birth date and age:[/u][/b] March, 12, 17. [b][u]Sexuality:[/u][/b] Heterosexual [b][u]In Depth Appearance:[/u][/b] Leon is 6'1" with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. He is very muscular and his face is always clean shaven and hair trim. He usually looks very stern and serious, but when there is no nobility from his kingdom around he can be seen with the goofiest grin around. The way he moves and looks just screams royalty because his father literally beat it into him leaving a few scars across his legs and back. No bruises or anything on his face or hands. He must be 'presentable'. [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] [center][u]• Brave • Courageous • Brash • [/u][/center] Leon would have everyone believe that he cares for nothing other than being a ruler. That is only because it is who his father is. Ever since Leon was a small child his father taught him that they should take survival of the fittest into their own hands. His mother, however, taught him love and compassion. Yet, if Leon exhibited the things taught by his mother in public he'd be beaten by his father. So, the boy decided that he would make himself appear to just be a mirror image of his father when in reality he was kind and caring. Rarely would anyone be able to see this side of him for his father had the whole kingdom under his control. Yet, through Leon's actions people slowly have begun to look up to him as their true leader. Leon desires to be a king that helps his people. He still knows that his kingdom's way of life cannot be changed though. He puts up with war and participates merely so that one day he can hopefully end it all.

His whole life his father has prepared and bred him to be a warring king. Within the land that Leon calls home there are many smaller kingdoms surrounding the one he resides in as well as numerous amounts of terrorist organizations. I suppose that is what can happen when the current power came to be by military coup. Many years ago within the area that these kingdoms preside there use to only be one. However, a horrible man came to the throne. After years of horror many factions rose up in the kingdom all with one goal. To overthrow the current king. After many years the faction that had its head in the military won over the rest. They placed the head of the military as the new king and this man was Leon's Great-Great-Grandfather. Things were run differently at that point. Many of the other factions were squashed, but a few escaped the lands and began their own kingdoms nearby. A few chose to stay and decided they wanted to keep trying for the throne. Jumping back to today all kings of Krieg-Königreich have in some way participated in the many battles over the years. They believed keeping the ruler as a military advocate would keep the kingdom in a steady balance and that it would eventually eliminate any opposition. Leon's mother believed differently. She wanted her children to have compassion. Up until this point royalty of Krieg-Königreich only married the nobility in their kingdom. Leon's mother was the first to convince Leon's father to seek an alliance with another kingdom through marriage. She appealed to his military mind and as a result he agreed to establishing some form of alliance. At first Leon didn't understand his mother's reasoning and still to this day doesn't. Leon, due to having to act a certain way, has never had many friends. The ones he does have are extremely loyal. His actually are only a few who works within the castle he calls home and a few he has fought with. The boy has two younger brothers and three younger sisters. He and his siblings are very close, and they receive similar treatment from their father as Leon does but no where near the same extent. Leon's life was fairly much always the same. Training in combat and tactics. Studying the way his enemies fought. Sneaking behind his fathers back to spend time with the workers in the castle. Occasionally getting caught and beat for it. Spending time with his mother and siblings. It was a routine thing for him. However, when his father came home from a diplomatic meeting one day his schedule became more rigorous. His father said that he'd finally found the perfect girl to have his son wed. From then on the king was much stricter on Leon. The boy had to be the perfect image that his father wanted him to portray.

[hider=The King][img]http://media2.popsugar-assets.com/files/2015/08/26/058/n/1922398/faf882af_edit_img_cover_file_16956073_1440543085_big-19175326e0dMLSVi0.xxxlarge/i/Michael-Fassbender-Movies-Netflix.jpg[/img] King Herrick is a very aggressive and brutish fellow. From the day he was born he was taught that only two things in this world mattered. Power and love. If one ever contradicted the other he'd have to choose which mattered to him the most at the time. He believes the quickest way to peace is through brute force and eliminating all adversaries with no mercy at all. He does deeply love his wife and children despite the way he treats them at times. He is often quoted as saying, "Either they hate me and become the strongest, or they love me and become weak. I'd rather they not die from being weak." Usually no one can convince him to do anything or get what they want from him. The only person who can consistently do this though is the Queen. His love for her is much more powerful than his desire for power.[/hider] [hider=The Queen][img]http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/france-german-actress-diane-kruger-arrives-to-attend-the-official-of-picture-id50833563[/img] Queen Adelisa grew up as a child knowing she would marry Herrick. It was basically her duty. Before know the only people that the royal children were allowed to marry were children of nobility within Krieg-Königreich. The nobility at first came from the various generals at the time that Krieg-Königreich came to be. All members of these generals families became nobility. Nobility was also those who were distantly related to the current ruling family. Of all the nobility at this point in time though a few were becoming restless with the way the kingdom was handling things. Queen Adelisa came from one such noble family. Due to this her ideals were different from her future husband. Despite this they still loved each other very much. Queen Adelisa has always been kind and charitable and due to these traits and teaching them to her children the way Krieg-Königreich is run may change in the next few years to come.[/hider] [u]What the Kingdom is Known For:[/u] Strong Military Strength, Being fairly powerful while technically being a baby among other kingdoms, Their colleges that specialize in the teaching of military tactics.(Basically they have the Harvard and Yale of military colleges and universities) [u]Kingdom History:[/u] Krieg-Königreich is still a baby kingdom when considered alongside the other powers in the world. They first came to be many years ago as a result of a military coup. As of right now there is Krieg-Königreich and many other much smaller kingdoms around the main kingdom. There are also many terrorist organizations fighting within Krieg-Königreich. This all started when the area that all these groups reside had only one large kingdom over it. When the peaceful King Hans died his son Alfred became the king. He was nothing like his father. He was a horrible man and performed many injustices during his reign as king. After many years of this finally the people had had enough. Various factions sprung up within the land. After several years of war the tyrannical king finally died and the man who sat on the throne next was Corrado. He was one of the generals of the most militaristic faction that had sprung to life. They soon gathered their forces and pushed out the remaining factions as best they could. Many dispersed. Others stole land on the outer edge of the kingdom for their own and started their own kingdoms. A few stayed hidden within the land and became considered terrorist by many. The new King Corrado gathered with his closest allies and publicly announced them as nobility. These men gathered together and decided they would rename the kingdom to Krieg-Königreich. Which in their native tongue signified that they would not put down their arms until all enemies were fully dealt with agreeing that once this occurred a new name would be taken at that point. From then on the kingdom heavily focused on the art of war. Erecting colleges and universities for the sole purpose of strengthening the militaristic mind of their youth. They decided that they would take survival of the fittest into their own hands and verbally dictated all royal family members were only to wed those of the kingdoms nobility. However, they neglected to make it an official law. Skipping many years ahead and past two kings the current rulers are King Herrick and his wife Queen Adelisa. Not much has changed over the years other than the military power has gotten much stronger than before. The kingdom now allows foreign youth to study within their institutions as long as they are not from a rival kingdom or from a kingdom allied with their enemies. The majority of the terrorist organization have forgotten what they are even fighting for and have established themselves as religious sects rather than seeking power. Also two out of the fourteen smaller kingdoms have been over taken by Krieg-Königreich. Now the royal family is ready to present Leonard Jaegar Ford, the first of his name, to the rest of the world and to his soon to be wife. This is to be a major occasion for Krieg-Königreich and could very well shape the future of this kingdom.

He wants to be a kind ruler, but because of his father many believe he is cold. Leon hopes he can show the other future rulers of the earth that he wasn't like the man who he has a blood relation.
