[list]
[*]Hair: Chris’ brunette curls are usually left natural day-to-day but for events and public appearances most often blow dried up into his perfect coif. 
[*]Eyes: Light Green
[*]Height: 6'1”
[*]Body Type: Chris has an impressive physique with toned muscles and some defined abs - not that anyone gets to see it.
[*]Clothing Style: Smart and fashionable. Chris likes to dress in designer clothes whether out in public or in private and prides himself on his appearance - you never know when you’re going to get papped. This only changes when he’s travelling - but even then he’ll have top notch gear.
[*]Makeup Wise: Bronzer, concealer and who doesn’t use a little mascara?
[*]Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings: Henri has a small tattoo across his left chest reading: “On My Honor…” in reference to both his family and his patronage of his country’s Scout Association.

[INDENT][color=A9A9A9]Chris loves the public attention that he has garnered since childhood, a stark contrast to his older brother. He’s a charismatic man who enjoys being the proverbial ‘life and soul’ of a party. Unlike his father or his older brother who would politely and honorably converse with attendees in line with all social etiquette, Chris was never afraid to charm and gossip with the women of high-society and prove that he can both hold his liquor and rule a dancefloor. He is also never afraid engage in refreshingly frank discussions on divisive or controversial issues around which his family would never approach and to say what he really thinks of someone, yet crafting the words so eloquently to escape direct scolding from the palace. This buys him both many friends and enemies amongst European high society.

However much he seems to be in the limelight it is all crafted to ensure he is never alone for long, a legacy of childhood insecurities. He is rarely solitary, preferring the validation of others as he is yet to fully love himself. This is most evident in his social media presence, a network of contacts and global philanthropic endeavours that constantly keep him travelling the world and avoiding home whenever possible.

Chronically lonely is not how anyone would describe the prince, yet it’s the truth. At odds with his family and constantly monitored by the palace. Spilling the tea both socially and politically. Being royalty and instafamous. None of these make it easy to make meaningful connections. His globetrotting self-sabotage doesn’t help either.

[INDENT][color=A9A9A9]Prince Christopher Apollonis Kalymnos, was born the second son to King Aindrea Ajax Kalymnos and his wife Queen Lauressa of the golden isles of Hellenica. A year after his older brother Jason’s birth, Chris’ was a celebration of relief as many a royal family prays for a second male heir in reserve. But as the years rolled by it was clear that Jason was growing up to be a younger version of his father and that Christopher was surplus to requirements. 

It was then that he realised he had to forge his own path and he was never going to do that by mirroring his brother’s actions. From that point on Chris pushed the envelope juusssssssst enough. He studied Geography, Biology and Anthropology not the Law, Politics and History of his ancestors. He studied abroad rather than a renowned Hellenican institution. Oh and he… experimented. This then introduced the royal family to social media....

One topless photo and Christopher’s Instagram blew up the internet. The palace was in disarray. Discussions went on for days well as far as you can call two brother’s shouting at each other a discussion… The situation finally came to a head when Chris publicly came out online forcing the pro-LGBTQ+ outcome of a parliamentary debate - a royal influence on politics the last straw for his father. Yet thanks to his mother’s intervention the results were mostly positive as she realised a lack of purpose had led to her younger son’s listlessness. Chris would work with the Palace’s publicity team and they screen and monitor his online presence. He would also take over some charitable royal patronage (notably in his fields of passion: nature, education and LGBTQ+ issues) and officially became the royal international liaison. 

This agreement has worked in harmony for the last two years especially changing the perceptions of the otherwise antiquated country on the global stage especially as an openly gay man and in regards to the environment. He now cannot wait to be at a royal engagement without his stoic, downer of a brother being there. 2 months of Instagram 24carat royal gold.

[color=8CFF88][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris follows all of Raven’s socials and loves her fabulous gown collection. They’ve only met a handful of times, her being across the pond, but maybe they’ll get on.

[color=5F9EA0][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris had met Henri only a handful of times growing up but they finally met as adults two years ago in London. Their joint appreciation of nature had brought them both to the London Natural History Museum for the launch of the 2017 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition. Then… well… Open bar. Hotel suite. PS4 till early hours. Only one bed. Uber of shame. You get it right? He hasn’t heard much from Henri since and doesn’t know if he did something wrong...

[color=DC143C][b]⇒ [/b][/color] First meeting after graduation the two sun lovers hit it off straight away with a love for high society, the limelight and good causes. He was inspired by her country’s progressive LGBTQ+ policy to come out publicly and make further positive change. In return he’s helped drive conservation in hers. It goes without saying that she’s his plus one to EVERYTHING!

[color=C22941][b]⇒ [/b][/color] Being from a neighbouring kingdom, Chris is sure they’re related somehow, especially as his mother is always asking after her. They’ve bonded over social media and have met a couple of times in San Francisco.

[color=FFD700][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris has known Alejandro since they were kids, mostly because he would go on official visits to Castilya with his parents, and Alejandro would visit Hellenica with [i]his[/i] parents. They started casually fooling around behind closed doors a few years ago, which continued for a while, although Alejandro has distanced himself physically since Chris came out publicly. Whilst really hurt initially, Leo has helped Chris appreciate Alejandro’s situation and they’ve managed to maintain a great friendship.

[color=5F9AA0][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris has a feeling he was Raiden’s [i]first[/i] but doesn’t know for sure. He had a great time in Xi’n but is royally pissed off at his friend for going along with this poltical farce of an engagement. When Raiden couldn’t give him a straight (lol) answer, Chris turned away. He hasn’t spoken to Raiden in a few months now.

[color=DAA520][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris has only met Imani a handful of times and then it’s always been at the behest of Leo. They get on well enough but Chris gets the distinct impression Imani would happily be rid of him so she could be beside Leo on the red carpet instead…

[color=919191][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris has met Beatrice a fair few times growing up and he always made sure to involve her in any games that he played with her brothers. He cannot fathom her betrothal and she refuses to tell him the truth so as with Raiden, they’ve been estranged for a few months now.

[color=darkgoldenrod][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris has met Phillip numerous times at royal, charitable and social events, and even spontaneously once on a plane. He definitely has a crush on the Marisian prince but has no reason to think Phillip at all feels the same.

[color=852538][b]⇒ [/b][/color][i]"I don’t know her well enough to comment really."[/i]

[color=852538][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris’ Instagram was recently hacked into and traced back to Dredalen. He’s therefore distrustful of the princess apparently stepping into her father’s shoes. He painfully hopes she doesn’t know about him and Rhys as that would cripple his father.

[color=3a5154][b]⇒ [/b][/color][i]"I cannot wait for a lad’s night with Rhys and Asher!"[/i]

[color=3a5154][b]⇒ [/b][/color]Chris has met Rhys a few times over the years but seeing him also have the candour to openly speak his mind to world leaders filled him with both respect and lust. They may have had private meetings after other events but the historical bad blood between their countries means that his father can never know. Rhys is Chris’s main source of political gossip and he can’t wait to talk about this Bea & Raiden drama face-to-face.

[color=burlywood][b]⇒ [/b][/color] The increased Texan monopoly hit the Hellenican economy hard. Whilst Chris respects the down-to-earth nature of their royal family, he cannot abide their flagrant disregard for universal rights.
