But if you’d asked him, he would’ve said he was cursed. He was haunted by whispers and feelings, never intelligible, ever disturbing. Once he did learn to control that aspect of his powers, he soon caught on with more advanced techniques, like influencing and even controlling them. He can do so to animals decently enough, but humans are another matter. Trying to make someone move their arm up and down tires him out incredibly. [/indent] [color=809C40][b][u]In-Depth Appearance[/u][/b][/color] [indent]As a member of the Royal Court, Emmund takes great care to look his best, although he is careful not to look gaudy. His usual attire consists of a sleek woolen jopula with finely engraved buttons, a thin belt around his waist, pants and boots. He prefers earthen colors, browns and dark green, colors that don’t attract much attention.[/indent] [color=809C40][b][u]Likes[/u][/b][/color] [list][*]History and politics [*]Ale [*]Dogs [*]Playing his flute [/list] [color=809C40][b][u]Dislikes[/u][/b][/color] [list][*]Being in crowds of people. The more people there are, the harder it is to ignore their thoughts. [*]Ghost stories. He’s very easily spooked. [*]Being told he’s a bit young for his job [/list] [color=809C40][b][u]Biggest Fear[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Emmund’s worst fear is losing control of his powers again. He remembers what it was like to be flooded by everyone’s minds. It took him years of training to figure out how to block them out, how to filter them and listen to only those that he wanted to hear. If he ever lost the ability to do that, he might go insane. He nearly did, once.[/indent] [color=809C40][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Emmund is a man of little words, extremely observant and analytical. It does him wonders as a member of the Royal Council. He also hates attention, preferring to slink into the background, doing his equivalent of people-watching, which resembles more people-listening. He lets down those barriers he built up long ago, just a little, enough to let a buzz in. He does it more often than he realizes, dozing off into the buzz. Which is why Emmund usually comes off a as a bit of a distracted daydreamer. However, it ends up working to his advantage. Part of why he’s such an adept diplomat is because of his abilities. As far as the Destined legend goes, he doesn’t much care for it. He’s not Marked himself, and he’s never really interacted with many of who are. The Galinese royal family isn’t ‘blessed’ to be Marked like its Orewegian counterpart is. He’s quite interested in his visit to Orewyn during the Festival of Destinies, wanting to see firsthand Marked interactions.[/indent] [color=809C40][b][u]Background[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Emmund was born in Corrick to a noble family. His father had been one of the King’s closest friends, and his mother a member of the Royal Council. His was a life of luxury and privilege, yet he didn’t really get to enjoy them. The voices made it impossible to. He’d been hearing them since before he could remember, drilling into his mind, threatening to erase what was in it before. By age seven the voices had become unbearable, and Emmund lived in agony. He was thought mad, scratching at the floor and pleading in tears for everyone to shut up, even when no one was speaking. His mother eventually went to the temple to find out what was wrong with him. The clergy quickly identified Emmund’s sickness as a result of his unchecked magical powers. A young Emmund was taken to Lady Moirain, a fauna elemental, priestess to the Earth god Ran. She became one of Emmund’s teachers, and magic training was now included in his daily lessons, along with history, political science, and music. He soon became a prodigy and joined the Council as its youngest member in history. He was recently sent as an ambassador to the Royal City of Orewyn, to lead the current peace talks between the two countries. Despite the previous war between the countries being officially over, tensions are still high, and the borders of the Riddenmar are violent. Emmund hopes to create a more permanent peace. And what’s more permanent than marriage?[/indent] [color=809C40][b][u]Extra[/u][/b][/color] [indent]FC: Domhnall Gleeson, [color=809C40]#809C40[/color][/indent][/hider]
