Königreich der Welten ("Kingdom of Worlds") is an advanced, first-world country that incorporates some of the best teachings and ideas of all other countries into its own universities, producing intelligent students that often go on to become prominent scientific revolutionaries, capable military commanders, and efficient manufacturers and inventors. Where the Kingdom of Aciras is a sort of Cultural beacon, Königreich der Welten is a military and intellectual beacon. They are the Germany that never fought the World Wars, meaning that they never had such severe setbacks and have a strong military (akin to today's American military- no one country alone could match it), as well as the startling intelligence of many German people (Most of America's greatest innovations were done by Germans).
That being said, Königreich der Welten doesn't have as much resource-rich lands, nor do they have the largest industry (though they are prominent innovators of a great many things, such as cars, guns, tanks, aircraft, watercraft, and other larger pieces of technology, as well as some of the more secure, expensive portable pieces of technology), and because of their more hands-off attitude (besides terrorists and smaller, more rogue nations), lack as much diplomatic power and influence. On the social and political scene, they're rather laidback and neutral, though many do have feelers out, trying to predict or sway Königreich's actions.

Niklas König of Königreich der Welten
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.-George Santayana
Niklas Kasimier König
Nickname: Nik, or Kas/Kaz
Birth date and age: February, 16th, age 19. (16-19.)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In Depth Appearance:
Niklas is a tall, well-built lad, though not especially large or bulky. He has the posture of a soldier, or an old-fashioned proper gentleman, rather than the more modern teenage slouch. He has bright hazel eyes, and large hands, rough from use already. Should he wear short sleeves, one will seen scars on the outside of his forearms, small and short to slightly longer, thicker ones, all of them straight from a clean cut. A scar on his left hand, from the middle of his middle finger, stretching all the way down to his wrist, curving away from him, slightly, long and thin. Decently sized shoulders act as a base to a normal-proportioned head and neck, with brown hair.
Personality:
• Honor • Intelligence • Integrity •
Niklas is an outward, friendly character who doesn’t appreciate, or take, any shit whatsoever, unless he is aware that it is joking and friendly, and not serious. He has some tolerance, more so for less intelligent people, but he has a tendency to try to solve things like a gentleman- through a duel, or something similar. If such a thing does not let up, he gets vicious, to the point of broken bones. And while casual, he's a goofy, fun person to be around, that'll have a great time without breaking a single rule. Well, only one or two rules.
Likes:
- A good book
- A good gun
- Military history
- Interesting concepts
- Friendly, respectful people
- Just about anything, including games
Dislikes:
- Disrespect, dishonor, or a lack of integrity
- Foolishness
- Boring things
- Extreme temperatures
- Being [seriously] challenged or doubted
Fears:
- Snakes
- Being helpless, unheard, ignored
- Not knowing
Biography: Niklas is his father’s son- a proud, independent individual who values honor and intelligence, and won’t put up with any bullshit. He can be kind and caring, and can go out of his way to help some one. He’s someone that wants to help, though he becomes the opposite if you piss him off. He can be patient, if he sees some value in it. And for the most part- he doesn’t believe in love. He sees maybe compatible matches, where both sides don’t mind the other, but little more.
He grew up in his father's palace, exploring its vast corridors, rooms, wings, and ballrooms. The entire building is designed to operate both as the Royal Family's home, an emergency military headquarters (being an extremely modern, advanced, and resilient building, renovated every decade to incorporate the latest technology), and an emergency bunker for civilians in the case of a bomb raid. From a young age, he was taught both by his mother and father, as well as several tutors and a nurse that took care of the more day-to-day maintenance of a child.
The child, growing up around what was essentially a sprawling modern castle, became quite pampered [if quite intelligent]. It was around the time that his mother disappeared; officially, she went into seclusion, without any more public sightings, no more diplomatic meetings that involved the gentler side of the Königreich Royalty. She disappeared; Niklas was left stumped and abandoned, without his loving mother to be there. He didn't rely on her as much as other children relied on their mothers, of course, but he always chose her over his father, or the tutors or maids. Suddenly at a loss at his young age of 12, his father finds his perfect solution, to both his military inexperience (required to rule), to his sudden loss of matron, and to his self-centered pamperedness.
Seven years in the military, training both as a traditional soldier, as well as Command School- Konigreich's version of a officer-focused West Point. Like any rich politician's son or daughter in the Konig's Welt Armee ("King's World Army"), he was placed into common ranks, without any significant influence to bolster his ranking. His promotions and doings are based on merit, earned by hard work and skill. Command School on the side was, however, default for the upper class trainees, though, again, no one was allowed to coast. All had to work; all earned their achievements.
The Königreich fully expected that, at some point or another, something will require the Königreich's military power. Widely regarded to be the military superpower of the world (See: American military power of the modern day), as well as one of the origin of some of the most widely known and respected intellectual minds, Niklas gained the national pride of many in Königreich der Welten, proud to be part of one of the most advanced and powerful nations in the world. People from the Kingdom of Aciras might find the structured, cozy lifestyle of the common folk of Königreich der Welten cramped, crowded, and with a military that spends too much time on the streets, though it never bothers any of the populace any.
Anyone who's done any research on Niklas will know that he is trained as if he were in dire need of hand-to-hand combat, traditional bladed combat, and is ranked as a top sharpshooter. Also is known to be an intelligent tactician, and a people person, because of his often outings into the capital city, Berlin, and many droves of fans, friends, and acquaintances.

"An intriguing girl. I've known her for some time now, since we were... smaller, I guess. I was too young to know my own age. Aciras and Konigreich have always had a closer relationship than we've had with anyone else, even if Konigreich makes a point to stay aloof out of global affairs. But she's my friend, I'd say. And there's something about her that makes me nervous, I'll admit. I don't really know what it is."

"She is... not unattractive, nor is she one that wants to stand in her place. Her own people don't seem to notice, but mine do; she would be fun to spar against, in whatever form. I look forward to meeting this one. We are not dissimilar, in interest or in our lack of a mother. A lot of common ground for us two."

"An opposite of myself, in one sense. Him and his first 'family' oppose all that my people have fought against, to secure our ways- an outlaw, he is, who has somehow managed to convince his family that he is worth their time. He's disgraceful- unworthy of the vast resource and responsibility that accompanies his position."

"Few could see what she has seen and come out so gracefully. She has my regards, and my respect- she will undoubtedly make a superb Queen someday. But if we're being betrothed, then our two nations would likely combine, of sorts. I wonder what this partnership, this marriage, would do in the future?"

☯ John Drake ☯
"Smart, but bland. The files we have on him are rather straightforward, just like him- but nothing particularly interesting or intriguing about him. Besides being intelligent- but beyond that, it's just him and his little journal. And his dislike of tradition."

☯ Casimir D'strad ☯
"He sounds like quite the lady's man- but not particularly outstanding besides his appearance and how he displays it and his personality. I do hope he doesn't try to 'play' with me- he'd be quite disappointed. And what is he doing here, anyhow? His nation is hardly a citystate."

☯ Zachary Hunter ☯
"The older Hunter- but not any more mature, it seems. They're going to be ruling a prominent kingdom, among a circle of the most powerful people in the world- pranking and such is not for such a position."

"Ah, the Jeweler who dislikes Jewels. Another man from a rather small kingdom, though I suppose its jewels are significant. Either way- they are more of a citystate, not a kingdom. What is he doing here?"

"Small but firey- I like her, yes! She's so small, but everything says that she's terribly intelligent, if insecure. She has that fire and that intelligence- she's much more formidable than half of the people at this gathering!"

☯ Leonard Ford ☯
"Ah, Leonard Ford. The crown prince of Konigreich der Welten's little neighbor, trying to be as big and strong as us. I don't really like him, but that's just a gut feeling. I just think he's a bit fake, yeah?"

"Haven't heard of her once until I read the file we have on her. Seems like a nice girl, though a bit 'unusual' for a princess- but then again, there are two or three other princesses that are the same sort of unusual, so I guess she's just the new normal."
☯ Fareeha Amari ☯
"She wears a snake on her wrist, and she was training to be part of a special forces unit that wouldn't even consider me. She walked in with a hawk on her arm, and she wrestles almost daily with a hyena. I can't tell if I'm in awe or terrified of her."
