[color=crimson][b][u]Strengths:[/u][/b][/color]
[b]Charming:[/b]
Duncan is a sweet-talker, a ladies man, an pretty much good at making anyone smile. He's very charismatic, exudes charm like a mist hanging around him, and has a smile that is know to make ladies weak at the knees...and he knows all this about himself. He's cocky, and definitely comes off as the type that gets around in his spare time. But he really hasn't. He's a very noble gentleman at the core, he just likes to have fun. It's all just fun and games to him, as he doesn't take much seriously. But he has a way with words and with getting people to like him, the right people.

[b]Honorable:[/b]
 Being raised a noble by birth, Duncan was raised with a certain type of class that offered him the ability to partake in many practices, as he was spoiled rotten. He has mastered the way with the sword as a child, and can even wield greatswords and spears. He is a very talented warrior, and has a pure warrior's heart when it comes to his future kingdom(or so he hopes). He is a very honorable person, quick to throw himself into the line of danger if it means saving the life of another. 

[b]Loyal:[/b]
All his life, Duncan has only known the kingdom of Astaria and it's people. He has been raised on their streets, lived off their food, and bartered with their merchants. He is a Astarian man through and through, and he is very loyal to his kingdom and his people. He has the right heart to lead, if given the chance, and he knows it's what his father would want. But his father is also a greedy man, Duncan is not. At the heart, he's a loyal, compassionate man. 

[color=crimson][b][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/b][/color]
[b]Silver Tongue:[/b]
Duncan can often say very sarcastic and snarky things that would be quite worth a smack upside the head. He's blunt and has a silver-tongue, giving him just enough ammunition to earn him a nose in the air if he doesn't learn to hold it from time to time. He will say all of these things with an obnoxious, sarcastic air about him to, all while shooting the person he says them to a crooked smile and a teasing expression. It's quite possibly going to be the reason he gets smacked time and time again.

[b]Second in Line:[/b]
Being second in line for the throne, Duncan could very well never be a royal in his life. If the current regime continued to rule, he would have no way to get the throne unless they stopped ruling over Astaria. This has made tensions a bit high between the families, especially between his father and the current King, because it's well known that Duncan's father very much wants Duncan to be King. He's very vocal about it. Duncan wants it sure, but he isn't one to cause a big fuss over it. He doesn't see the point, whining and complaining doesn't get anyone anywhere. He honestly thinks his father needs to settle down and relax, but he won't voice those opinions. 

[b]Popular:[/b]
Duncan is a very popular man, with everyone. But especially with the ladies, though he doesn't get very far with any of them really. It's all mindless flirting, as Duncan has secretly only been with two women intimately in his lifetime, both long time lovers of his spanning at least a few years. But that doesn't change the fact that Duncan gets along with the ladies very well, and knows them all by name, usually. There's one or two he forgets (maybe more), and that'll earn him a sour expression and a huff. But usually, the ladies flock to him, which can put others off sometimes. 

[color=crimson][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color]
Duncan Emory is charming, sweet, charismatic, loyal, honorable, protective, humorous, laid-back, and just an all around nice guy. He can come off as quite the flirt, and can say things sometimes that get him in trouble. But he tries to just be a good guy to everyone, as much as he can at least. He's very determined, courageous, and strong. He's known for his good swordsmanship skills, and the number of duels he's won. He's been in quite a few battles, and is known for his Knightmsanship he acquired when he turned eighteen. He's a very disciplined man when he needs to be, and a very undisciplined man when he wants to be. He knows how to play any role he needs to, in order to get ahead with people. He's a social butterfly. But he has his demons as well, the things that haunt him inside. He's not all flowers and rainbows. In front of the people he is, but there are secrets he keeps.

Like how intimidated he is by his father. Like hos protective he is of his mother, since she gets the worst of his father's wrath(after him). How protective he is of his younger sister, who is the only one his father particularly likes. How he treats his maids and other family servants with compassion and understanding, rather than the harsh way of his father. Duncan has his secrets, and he doesn't share them with just anyone. He's a very private guy, not liking to talk about the deeper side of his life. He doesn't like pity, and he doesn't need any pitying looks either. He'd rather deal with all of it on his own. 

[color=crimson][b][u]History/Bio:[/u][/b][/color]
Duncan was the first born to Frederick and Amelia Emory, which meant he was now first in line for the throne if the royal family ever ceased to rule. Being that there was a law in Astaria that no unmarried royal can rule, this was quite a possibility for him, and as such made his father hold him to impossible standards of grooming and the like. Duncan never had much of a childhood, his father raising him with an iron fist, pumping him full of information on the kingdom he'd one day rule (as he father told him), of the other nobles and the various noble lines, of the royal family and their heritage, of the proper ways of etiquette and the like for a gentleman. When he wasn't doing that, he was taking swordsmanship lessons and riding lessons, learning various languages and being taught how to play the flute (a secret love of his). He was constantly busy, as his father wanted him to be ready at a moment's notice once he turned eighteen.

So it had been a hard childhood...his mother had been his silver lining though. She was sweet and loving in a way that always put him at ease, especially when Duncan's father was having one of his yelling fits. When his younger sister Eliana (Liana for short) had been born, Duncan and her had developed a very quick and close bond as well as he was a major part of her childhood. He and his mother both raised her closely, his father always off during the day making connections and talking up the important people whilst Duncan was in his lessons or helping take care of the family. He would spoil his daughter every day when he got home with gifts and the like, though Duncan knew it was only because she was the pretty one who he would later arrange to marry off to some rich family with good connections, always looking for that extra jolt of power. 

When Duncan had turned eighteen, he's been knighted. He served in the Royal Army for five years, his father fully supporting the decision as it gave him more connections and people who would later support his rule. It would make him one of the people, which would give him bonus points(or so his father said). Duncan personally had only joined because he'd wanted to. He thrived on the discipline, the adventure, the excitement of battle. He had gathered quite a few war stories over the years too, as well as accolades for his accomplishments. He'd been a very good Knight. 

Now, he was back at home and ready to rule. But since he still was unmarried, he couldn't take the throne. The current royal families princess was in the same position as him as well, and it seemed they were in a race to wed before the other first, lest they lose the crown and succumb to the other's rule.

His "Arranged" Future Wife:

Name: Ophelia Marie Saint-Claire
Age:26
Personality: She's ditzy, not that intelligent, and basically an airhead that just relies on her looks to get herself ahead in life. Just the type for Duncan's father to set him up with, so that Duncan can do whatever he wants. Duncan honestly can't stand her.
