storm my winter palace, but they couldn’t take it~

Vaguely based off of some books I’ve read about fae, with heavy inspiration taken from the Chronicles of Narnia, LOTR, and Discworld wrt fae lore and with mild inspiration taken from basically every Tumblr.com post ever made about interactions between vampires and fae. This is a whole genre of post and I swear, it messes me up every time. Also very much inspired by Beauty and the Beast, I just love evil kings getting their hearts broken and then mended and becoming actually nice people.

Eternally snowing, the Fae Kingdom of the Farlands is a cruel place. The Spring Fae Lord has been encased in ice, and thus, the world is cursed to snow until the fateful day that a true love between the hideously vile Fae King of the Winter and some miscellaneous lower creature melts the icy king’s frozen heart. In the meantime, the Winter Fae King is ruling with an iron fist, and anyone who crosses into his lands will not survive through the night without some serious magical protection. The Winter Fae King is your character.

My character, however, is someone who can always survive the cold. This is due to the fact that he is a Vampire, his skin cold as the icy winds of the Farlands themselves on a good day. He is traveling through the Farlands to get back to his sister. She has sent word that humans have stormed her palace of blood and take captive his sister’s son, the sole heir to the High Vampiric throne and a very important figure for the future of the six lesser vampire kingdoms. But of course, the fastest way is straight through the Farlands. Thus, my character inevitably gets captured by soldiers and brought to your character’s palace in the heart of the chilly mountains. And they end up having more in common than they think, cue ~romance~ and ~shenanigans~.

This will have an eventual happy ending, but I don’t really want this to be quite dark romance either as I kinda detest the genre, I find it often romanticizes abuse.

Rules are basically just play nice, don’t be a bigot or a jerk, have fun, and in the case of this particular RP, ask before we start any smut scenes, I might want to just fade to black or avoid such implications entirely. Idk I’m feeling very grey ace today, not averse ace as is my traditional ‘usual’.

(sorry this took so long! but here's my boy!)
Name - Killian Grislain
Nickname - Lian
Age - unknown but looks around 32
Sexuality - pan
Race - Fae
Appearance - Killian stands around 6'0 ish. Slightly muscular. His straight white hair frames an angular face. His eyes are a deep green with flecks of blue and gold interspersed. Pale, near translucent skin. He has even fainter white markings along his back and arms that usually get mistaken for scars but are completely normal. Typically wears tighter fitting clothes for warmth but not so restricting.
Personality - Killian is a fiercely loving and loyal male. He was very protective of his kingdom, especially now knowing what had happened to the Spring Fae Lord. His kingdom will always be put first before himself. He can be a bit overprotective, but he means well. Having been involved in a war before, he's very tactical and strategic, even when it comes to the simpler things. He doesn't like leaving things to chance. This overprotective nature can extend to loved ones but there's not many he's willing to let get that close.
Backstory - Killian grew up near the tail end of the war, joining his kingdom's army along with his father at 18. Unfortunately, the young prince lost his father in a battle, making him both king and general in one quick day. Ever since then, he has fought for his kingdom, promising they'd some semblance of peace soon. He's seen and been through a lot and is unwilling to be swayed by flimsy promises, not if it puts those under his rule in danger. This can be seen as harsh but KIllian has learned throughout his years that mercy is weakness.
likes - His kingdom above all else, despite being practically born in it, he still finds beauty in snow and ice, being warm.
Dilikes- war since most of his bad memories were from that time, being alone, seeing people he loves getting hurt in any way, surprises good or bad, he doesn't like being caught off guard.

Name: Nextor Vanishing-Mirror
Age: 103, presents as around 35 but age can range depending on how recently he's fed on fresh blood.
Species: Vampire
Gender: Trans man, he/him
Sexuality: Gay as all get-out. Literally just so gay. Gay panicking all around for this guy.
Appearance: Thin and fragile twinkazoid. Desaturated honey-brown skin, like the life was sucked out of him (it was). He has his ink-dark hair styled back in very elegant dreads, with jewelry and beads hanging from them delicately like stars. Faint freckles, used to be much more vibrant but have faded with time and little exposure to the sun. Shorter, around 5'6". Don't let appearances fool you though, ya boi is feisty as hell and a good fighter. His hands are permanently scarred with burns from some tragic event, so he usually uses his claws sparingly in a fight and goes straight to biting.
Wardrobe style: Very practical commoner clothes, like that of the scholar he is.
Character playlist: Very Good Bad Thing by Mother Mother, I Go Hungry by Mother Mother, and No One To Nothing by… yet again, Mother Mother. Three songs from the same album, how despicable of me tee-hee!
Family? Friends? Toxic stalker ex? What relationships do they have with others? How do those relationships go? How do they end?: He does have a toxic ex, more on that later. His sister and nephew are his only undead living relatives.
Other notes/misc. section for just random trivia and facts: I haven't fleshed this guy out fully. Expect inconsistent backstory and motivations until I can reconcile all my ideas.

(I love him! Can't wait to see him with Lian. Also love mother mother
I think bit by bit fits lian fairly well :3)
