Two warring princes. Forbidden magic. Soulmates.


Tesh and Kevra have been at war for about as long as anyone can remember. The borders are everchanging, the battlefields too numerous to remember, the death tolls so catastrophic that none speak of them. No one can even remember why they are fighting in the first place. Yet still, the two fight on, the hatred between the two countries running deeper than the oceans.

The royalty of the two nations are meeting to discuss a possible peace treaty. The two princes are as different as different can be, and both hold dangerous secrets of forbidden and dangerous magic. When they meet, they hate each other on principle. Both represents what the other hates the most. But they talk to each other, because their fathers force them to. Then, something unthinkable.

The two princes are soulmates. They are destined for each other, despite everything. Having found this out, they begin to spend more time with each other, each making an effort to look past their hatred and get to know each other.

Then, disaster.

An attack on the border encampment that the royals met at leaves the kings dead, and the princes captured by a band of renegades who are bent on the destruction of both countries. The two must learn to trust each other, to surrender their secrets to the others trust, and hope that they can escape and make it home before their countries renew the war.

Name: Nikolas Aster Crowe
Nicknames: Nik
Titles: Prince of Kevra; Prince of Shadows;
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pan
Age: 23
Looks: Nikolas is of just above average height. He has black hair that's straight, and a bit long, a few strands brushing against his shoulders. His eyes are a pale golden color that catch the sunlight quite easily. He has rather pale skin, with only a slight tan. He has broad shoulders, but a rather thin, well-muscled body. He has a collection of scars on his body from various things, mostly swordfights/sparring. He has a tattoo of a black bird on the inside of his left wrist. It's just a simple silhouette, and is rather small, size-wise. He has a scar on his left leg, and limps sometimes because of it. (Looks a lot like this, minus the eyepatch: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a7/c2/0d/a7c20d0a25a01cf3baf7925d8ff604c4.jpg&imgrefurl=https://www.pinterest.at/pin/611645193119255951/&h=960&w=462&tbnid=T8Y7ht-Z3Ap20M&tbnh=324&tbnw=156&usg=AI4_-kSJwgZ5mNF6AmjbalA7-ChBMfc1bg&vet=1&docid=GcxGeGWRAKs7jM )
Personality: Nik can be a bit hot-headed, though he is very smart, and quick-witted. He hates the kingdom of Tesh with nearly all his heart, and would do anything just to win this war. And he has done nearly everything to win this war. He is a really good swordsman, and enjoys a good sparring match. He is very slow to trust, and it is difficult to earn his trust. Because of this, he only has a very small circle of friends, but he trusts them all with his life. He is usually rather kind-hearted, though at the same time, he can be very ruthless to those he considers his enemy. As a Kevran, he wasn't raised to be merciful, nor was he raised to be very kind to enemies, especially those from Tesh. (Will be fleshed out more in RP)
Magic: Nikolas was cursed as a baby to always be followed by darkness/shadow, and to always have the light abhor him. Which means that he can control the shadows/darkness, and is rather easily sunburned. Which is why he always wears long sleeves and usually a hat. Nobody but his immediate family knows, as curses are seen as something for which the person cursed must be punished or killed for, especially when it is accompanied by powers like his. Many people would shun and hate him for that power, so he has told few of it. He can also communicate with nocturnal or black birds, though only on nights of full, harvest, blood, or new moons. He turns into a monster some nights, as well, and must be tied down so he doesn't get free and try to eat people, as he isn't himself when he turns into the monster.
Favorite food/drink: Chocolate / White Hot Chocolate (Nik has a major sweet tooth)
Blurb about Country: Kevra is bordered by the ocean on one side, Tesh on another, and a third country on the other. At it's back is a peaceful land of mostly nomads, so there has never been any major trouble from that direction. It is ruled by King Alistair Crowe. Kevra is known for having a powerful army, and that is because of the fact that the draft brings in anyone over sixteen, not just boys. Girls are allowed to fight in its army too, which means it gets a large boost over countries that do not allow their women to fight. They believe in a pantheistic deity system, consisting of about seven gods, though there are a few minor ones not counted among the seven.
Bit of background that will be relevant to the RP: Nikolas has fought on the warfront, and received a wound to his left leg there, hence the scar and limp. He is known to the Tesh merely as a prince, and as a terror and a scourge because of serving on the front.

Ey!! Alright cool! BTW, you can rename Tesh if you want to, it's just a placeholder

Noted! Also I probably will have other questions that way I can fit one of my bois into the requisites.

@StarryWolfy flash_onCrazy Procrastinator

? What?

What things to we have to work with in the environment of the RP. Is this a modern day war between modern day kingdoms with guns and tech, alongside swords.
Or is this in the same kind of day and age as say, Robin Hood?

@ElderGod-Icefire

Shapeshifters are totally fine.

Oh! Uhm…late medievalish. They're developing early muskets and pistols, but they aren't widespread and swords are still common

Name: Eclipse Nightfang
Nicknames: 'Clipse, Echo, Blackmoon,
Titles: Prince
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bi? (Haven't totally explored that yet.)
Age: Lets put that at 21.
Looks: Tall, thin frame, actually pretty fit due to running around lot because he can. A bit scarred from being bullied by other wolf shifters when they don't know he's the prince. (Most of them don't like hybrids because they an be disloyal) Has a scar on the lower left side of his jaw, (Claw marks) from being in a fight.
Has long black hair streaked with Silver, highlighted with red. Also has steely grey eyes. He can almost always be found wearing a hunter's vest with a hood, along with a plain shirt when he's not hunting. Black hunting boots are always worn unless he is forced to wear otherwise.

Links that I have that suit his character really well, and give off his kinda vibes?
Personality: Secretive. Very secretive. he will be outgoing, but you will know nothing about him unless he lets you. He is very loyal despite being told otherwise, and can come off and ominous and or shy, but is really neither when you get to know him. Once you earn his respect and trust, he is your friend for life. But until then, you are only counted ally until proven otherwise, but you are also an expendable ally. Aside from all that, at his core he is a pretty soft guy, he likes art and reading, and can be very creative. Believe it or not he loves writing poetry, and dancing when he gets the chance. He's probably also a total romantic too. (I apologize ahead of time if this is innaccurate. He is a fairly unused charcter, so I know him, but not well.)
Magic: Is a Shadow-Luna elemental. Can manipulate shadows to a certain degree, can also manipulate mystic magic, particularly dreams, Especially nightmares. But his magical strength is weak, and kinda depends on the moon phases. (Full moon = Stronger. Quarter moon = Weaker, New moon = Strongest, Lunar Eclipse = Unlimited (Within reason))
Is also a wolf shifter, (There are also other things applicable to what he is that I can use to make things more complex if need be.)
He was born with his magic, his father is a nightshade (Shadow) wolf shifter, and his mom is a luna element.
Favorite food/drink: Hot cocoa, anything sweet.
Blurb about Country (include name of King): His father, Scar, (AKA King Nightfang) is a strict man. He loves no one and will turn on you as fast as he will help you. The kingdom itself is run with an iron grip. One that's a little too tight in Eclipse' opinion, something he plans to change. There are no second chances withing the kingdom's borders, though it is prosperous.
Bit of background that will be relevant to the RP: Eclipse watched his mother be murdered by the other kingdom's soldiers, but he blames his father because the king was their and did nothing to help her. He was 16 when this happened.
Other: Eclipse and his father share no love towards each other. Eclipse' father has tried to beat out his creativity, which is where the marks on his face originated. Eclipse is simply waiting for his father to die, (Since the power monger won't step down) so he can take over and fix some of the things he's messed up.

Also. Should mention that Eclipse does practice knife throwing, and is an expert in any kind of projectile weaponry. (Sling, Bow, Throwing knives,) and also decent with a sword.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Hmm. There are a lot of similarities with Nikolas, but that's probably okay. I like him tho!! What's his father's name, though? I asked for that in the sheet, and that wasn't provided lol

@StarryWolfy flash_onCrazy Procrastinator

(OOF sorry, It's actually Scar in the books, so Imma leave it for this. I'll go add it quick. (I feel like a kid who missed their name on a test… )
