Charles VI

"I do not think myself better than you due to my birth as a noble; the fate of a man is not decided by the caste he is born into, but rather by his own intuition and strengths. No, I know myself to be better than you due to my commitment and dedication; my honour and chivalry; my overwhelming strength, and your contemptible weakness. So kneel, worm. Or do you wish to entertain me?"

-Charles VI

"The most arrogant, rude and soulless man I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. Everyday I pray to my goddess that death will befall him and am disappointed to discover that he has lived another day. If it was not for my desire to bed his sister I would have taken him on in combat many moons ago. He is a weak and envious man that hides behind a facade of pride. If he was not born into power he wouldn't have risen to be more than a chamber pot attendant."

-Drakaras Drokon

"I want to be his friend. He seems like he's lonely but that's probably because he's kind of a dick. I just kind of assumed his cocky attitude is just a defense mechanism to hide how crippling insecure and inferior he feels and he's secretly a big dork. Or maybe not and he's actually just a cesspool of negativity."

Bio:
Charles VI Maxamillion, born after his sister Christiana IV, did not inherit the Maxamillion throne, gaining a slight resentment for his sister, and a desire to prove himself. Believing himself to be called upon by Gracian, Charles was instilled with a desire to obtain his own fiefdom, and bring more success to the kingdom than his sister. Ever since he learned of the crown he was barred of, Charles has trained himself relentlessly in both the history and The Faith, as well as in the art of war, and diplomacy. Charles first proved himself to be a formidable foe after successfully defeating one of the men his sister was considering to marry in a duel, yet, it was here too, that Charles first showed his true brutality, choosing to relentlessly attack the man, and eventually taking his life so that he would no longer be a candidate. With the nobility's attitude towards Charles now diminished greatly, fearing what could happen to them, Charles's sister the Queen, advised him to perhaps set out and claim his own kingdom. Guided by his God, and prodded by his Crown and sister, Charles distanced himself from the courts in his home, and set out into the world, looking to lay claim to his own kingdom, by any means necessary.

Description:
Charles VI is skilled in both statesmanship and the game of war. He is standoffish: preferring to keep as many as he can far away from him. Despite this, however, he commands respect, both from his men and from the nobility. They fear this crazed Prince, who claims to hear the voice of a God.

Quotes:

 * "A moment spent in the saddle is never time wasted."
 * "The Grand Theatre is a place of wonder and imagination; magical enchantments of beauty and romance, drama and tragedy, filled with glorious dances, spectacular arts, and sumptuous costumes."
 * "I am not so noble that I would stake my life for just any commoner, nor am I so forgiving that I would sit by and allow for someone to trample me. I am selfish... and a self-righteous human being! That is why I seek to clear my name. Not for anyone else, but for myself!"
 * "I am a torn man: Duty, and Emotion pull at me."

Ballads:
"First allow us to discuss                                               an outlier within the band.                                           For he is noble! And therefore thus:                               His name comes first in the Motherland.""Oh brave Prince Charles! Noble and bold;                    he is never one to be bested!                                         Now let me tell of his glory and gold!                             (So that I may not be arrested!)""Honourable Charles travelled far and wide!                  Sent out on a quest by his Sister!                               And joined this band brought in by Fate's tide!               Though he claims 'twas only to assist her!'"
