However, this doesn't mean that he is closed off to the idea of the two kingdoms being in an alliance - in fact, he welcomes it and will do nearly anything to keep the peace between the kingdoms. [/indent] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]In Depth Appearance[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Jaxton stands at a height of 5'9" and he's still growing. He weighs rather averagely but he does have a conditioned body thanks to training daily for self-defense. He stands up properly, of course, and exudes an aura of confidence - just like what any royal should be. He has brown, curly hair and dark brown eyes that usually sparkles with a certain hint of mischievousness every now and then. He tends to wear anything that is laid out for him. He doesn't mind if he has to weary stuffy royal suits or just simple silken clothing. In fact, Jaxton is kind of curious about commoner clothing as well but knows that his parents would never allow him to wear something like that in public. He seems to like simple clothing though whenever he does have a choice and doesn't have to keep up appearances. He wears a silver pendant around his neck that he personally had made.[/indent] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]Habits[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][list][*] Jaxton tends to rub his pendant whenever he begins to become uncomfortable in a discussion. [*] He taps his leg whenever he becomes anxious, especially if he becomes impatient about something. [*] Jaxton's eyes tend to wander whenever he talks to someone - from the area surrounding them to the person themselves. He seems to avoid eye contact as much as possible. [*] He tends to ramble when he gets too excited.[/list][/indent] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]Hobbies[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][list][*] Swordsmanship [*] Jogging [*] Singing [*] Horseback Riding[/list][/indent] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]Likes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][list][*] Sword fighting [*] Physical Activities [*] His family [*] Relative Peace [*] Interacting with people [*] Having fun[/list][/indent] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]Dislikes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][list][*] The idea that he has to rule someday [*] Fighting [*] War [*] People getting hurt [*] Being lonely[/list][/indent] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]Fears[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][list][*] He's scared of losing any of his family. If not their lives then he's afraid of them losing their trust in him. [*] He fears that the relationship will continually devolve and end up in another war. [*] He's an insecure person thanks to advisors tending to talk about him negatively as a royal so he fears that he will never be up to the expectations of the people around him.[/list][/indent] [hr] [center][img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/cddf544ac939c2b1b77fd454830fa504/tumblr_inline_mtt6nkYnw81reat58.jpg[/img][/center] [hr] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]Personality[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Jaxton is a kind and caring person, especially towards his family. There are little things he wouldn't do for his family. Even so, he's a very opinionated man and isn't afraid to speak what is in his mind even if it would end up with him being in trouble. Since he's the kind of person who actually wants everyone to get along since he fears another war is coming, one can easily see how being opinionated and fearless can be troubling. However, this doesn't seem to bother Jaxton at all as whenever anyone would blow up at him, thinking that he had his head in the clouds, he would just go to run or train so that he can keep his cool. When he finds himself in disagreements with his family, he would often just shut up about it. However, it's assured that he would bring it up soon after. He goes a mile and an extra for the people around him. He's selfless, to a fault. Jaxton rarely thinks about himself. He thinks that the ideal king is someone who thinks about his people first before his own personal needs. While this does seem to be a great mindset, the world isn't as black and white as he thinks it is. He is aware of this but he delusions himself that the world is a better place than it really is. Honestly, it only makes it all the more obvious that he isn't ready to rule. There has been talk around that the crown would actually go to his sister, and he hasn't shown to be bothered by it very much. He usually is a calm person and very hard to anger because he's such an optimistic lad. However, when he does become angry, he really does lose everything and he flies off the handle. Jaxton usually regrets it afterwards and tries to apologize, but what he has said cannot be taken back so easily. He tries to be as trusting as possible, but he finds that he is starting to lose the ability to trust anyone aside from his family. It saddens him greatly to think that he is falling into the cynical world which he finds horrible because it simply means that he can't change anything. [/indent] [color=0048BA][b]| [u]Background[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Jaxton was the firstborn of the current king and queen of Slibah. This came with a lot of responsibilities - more than he wanted. He was taught etiquette and politics from a young age. History was one of his strongest suits when it came to his private tutoring and he knew well the effects of the war that was brought upon by their ancestors. This was the reason why he feels so strongly about the alliance. This was when he started to like the idea of actually being allied to Abhainn. While it was all well and good at first, as he only had the best intentions in mind, it soon became obvious that he fails in a lot of aspects in being a king. First and foremost, while he is open-minded, he doesn't seem to think up of solutions to problems quickly. He's rather indecisive, especially when it is an urgent matter - among many things. This was what led to most of the advisors to the royal family to think that maybe he wasn't fit for the crown, no matter how hard he tried to prove himself. In the process of him growing up, Jaxton had tried his best to live up to the expectations of his parents and everyone else around him. However, he found other interests in life aside from becoming the king and ruling. He found admiration in swordsmanship, which he now trains daily in. When he wants to be alone, he usually takes his horse and rides off to another part of the land just to get away from everyone else. He has met countless people in his escapades, usually people who tend to wander around. He's made friends with these commoners but he never told anyone that he has come into contact with anyone else while he was out. He knew that he would get in trouble because of his carelessness, but hearing their subject's voices had always been a pleasure to him.

[@FernStone] Do you want to talk about how the two get along considering they are siblings and all? [/quote] Accepted. :) Good job on the character.
