Praise the gods! CASSIUS RENNARD, DUKE OF FOX HALL and HEIR OF MIRENTHIA has arrived. Most know them to be WITTY, RESERVED, and FORLORN. While abroad, they hope to AVOID THEIR FAMILY & OBLIGATIONS, AND TO DESTIGAMTIZE THOSE WITH WEAK CONNECTIONS TO THE GODS. They look like AVAN JOGIA, and remind people of THE SNAP OF A BOW STRING HITTING AN ARM GUARD; RAYS OF SUNLIGHT SIFTING THROUGH DENSE BRANCHES TO JUST BARELY OBSCURE A FACE; and THE QUIET SOUNDS OF HORSES CHEWING AT HAY IN THE EARLY MORNING.
FULL NAME : Cassius Jasper Rennard
TITLES : Duke of Fox Hall, Heir to the Throne of Mirenthia
AGE : Born March 02, 469 A.D. (29 years old)
DYNASTY / HOUSE: [to be determined later, house as the current ruler of Mirenthia]
PARENTS: [Kings Brother] and Laurel Rennard, Duchess of Mirenthia (deceased)
SPOUSE OR PARTNER : Ilias of Neriak, his long term lover.
ISSUE : none.
SIBLINGS : none.
OTHER RELATIVES : King of Mirenthia (uncle), Queen of Mirenthia (aunt)
ZODIAC : Pisces
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION : Prays to the god of Mirenthia, Artemeon. Despite his weaker connection, Cassius is likely considered more pious than some, as he invokes the name of his god frequently and prays often. An accomplished hunter and skilled with the bow, it is not uncommon to hear Cassius ask for Artemeon to bless the arrow he will shoot, and to say a prayer before every hunt he embarks on. Whenever he takes game, he prays over the animal and uses it in the ways required by Artemeon. When it comes to his beloved horses, he also invokes the god to watch for them and care for them. Despite the fact that he has a weaker connection and was blessed with no gifts, these actions and requests do sometimes cause others to wonder if he is not being quite truthful about his connection.
CONNECTION TO THE GODS : Very weak, but he is not shy about people knowing so, and frequently uses this fact in his defense of why he should be absolved of his place in the line of succession.
GIFTS : The most marvel thing about Cassius, although perhaps the mundane thing at the same time; his gifts did not manifest at all. Whereas those in his family are prone to a strong connection, Cassius never felt the pull in his heart. Animals do have a proclivity for the young man, however, Cassius maintains that this is a product of hard work, not by any ethereal granting. This same explanation is used for many of his pursuits, as Cassius likes to remind those that like to suggest he is in fact gifted that this is a discredit to his work ethic. Artemeon did not make him an accomplished archer, but many years of work did so.
GENDER IDENTITY : cis male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION : homosexual
PERSONALITY DETAILS : This boy is definitely a Hufflepuff. His determination and hard work are what have gotten him far, and his willing to support those he loves unconditionally. An introvert, Cassius prefers the silence of the woods and the natural sounds of the world to those which are created by his fellow humans. Too much interaction often requires him to duck away to recharge his social batteries. An ISFP, Cassius is more of an adventurer, enjoying other people’s stories more than his own. However, Cassius is often guided by his emotions more than logic, which leads to some tricky situations. A certain level of self-awareness to this makes him somewhat hesitant to form lasting connections instead of easier, surface level friendships, but once Cassius trusts a person, he will always stand with them. A big part of his personality is a love of living within the moment, and not getting too caught up on the future.
NEGATIVE TRAITS : Easily stressed or overwhelmed, guarded, flighty, somewhat stubborn, short-sighted, avoids responsibility.
POSITIVE TRAITS : Witty, altruistic, naturally charming, a good listener to others, always curious, kind-hearted.
FACECLAIM : Avan Jogia
HEIGHT : 5′11″
RECOGNIZABLE FEATURES : Dark, brown eyes that almost seem black. When peering into them though, they seem to bear resemblance to the deep brown eyes of a woodland deer. A more lithe frame, like many Miren’s it is obvious as to what his dominant hand is (left) as that arm is considerably more muscular. Often unkempt black hair, which he alternates between shearing it closer to his skull or allowing it to grow long enough to tie back.
REPUTATION : By trying to not have any reputation at all, Cassius has managed to make himself a more controversial figure. Despite being in line to inherit the throne, he wishes to do anything but, earning himself a repute among the Mirens which although banal, does cause tongues to wag. Some think him bold, to remove himself in such a way knowing he has a weak connection to the gods, or to simply take control of his own fate once again. Others see this flightiness as an attempt to deny his birthright, and him denying the will of Artemeon and being ungrateful for what great destiny he may have. More interesting, his reputation crosses kingdom boundaries, as since the death of King Lothar and the ascension of King Ilias to the throne, he has become more of a staple within the Neriaki court. People whisper of his presence there, and his reason why, however rarely to any confront him about his purpose. They prefer to share the secrets of his closeness with Ilias behind closed doors while casting shaded glances at him when he makes an appearance.
ASPIRATIONS : Where some aspire to grandeur and the throne, that of their own kingdom or the high throne on the island, Cassius desires neither. In fact, he actively runs from the former. Instead, the young Duke aspires to be left in peace to enjoy his horses and his travels, allowing him to meet many and learn about the world, and then follow his heart home every night to where it glows warm. Something do mundane but so typical for Cassius is he on day aspires to breed the finest horses in Prospera, and be known for the quality of his breeding operation.
WANTED CONNECTIONS : An old flame perhaps? Maybe one of his short flings in the far reaches? Would also love for someone to bring in his father! Or perhaps a potential challenger who is willing to be adopted into Miren succession but is just the opposite of Cassius.
