Varek Solthane
17
5Physical Appearance: (He's 25)
Varek carries himself like a blade honed to perfection—tall, broad-shouldered, with a lean musculature that speaks of years spent training, not for vanity, but for necessity. His sharp jawline and high cheekbones could belong to a marble statue, if not for the faint scar running from his left temple to the corner of his lips—a souvenir from an assassination attempt. His dark brown hair is kept just long enough to be swept back in an unruly wave, as if he can’t be bothered to tame it properly. And his eyes—pale gold-never stop moving, assessing, distrusting. He dresses in expensive attire, fabrics tailored to emphasize his regal bearing without sacrificing mobility.
Background:
Born the second son of a kingdom infamous for its ruthless succession wars, Varek learned early that trust is the first step toward betrayal. His elder brother died under mysterious circumstances (poison, naturally), and his younger sister vanished into the night. By the time he was sixteen, Varek had survived three attempts on his life, mastered four languages, and learned to wield a dagger before breakfast. Now, as the reluctant heir to a throne he never wanted, he rules with cold efficiency—because sentimentality gets princes killed.
Personality:
Arrogant? Absolutely. But not without reason—he’s smarter than most of his advisors, quicker with a blade than his guards, and politically shrewd enough to know when to smile and when to bare teeth. He doesn’t suffer fools, though he’ll pretend to if it serves his agenda. Beneath the regal disdain, though, there’s a flicker of something darker: a man who has never known safety, not even in his own bed. He trusts no one, not entirely, not even lovers (and there have been many—brief, transactional distractions). His humor is dry, his patience thin, and his loyalty… well, that depends entirely on what you can offer him. Image from Pinterest.
