“I am a prince before I am a son or brother. I will not see my kingdom fall to ruin.” [King Marth Lowell of Altea; affiliated with Stella City]

The stars have predicted the following kind of year for Marth Lowell:

[ Love ] Fantastic luckSomeone dear to you has pulled wool over your eyes; shear them before it overgrows.[ Wealth ] Bad luckIf you need to borrow money from a friend, consider who you need the least.[ Social ] Bad luckSometimes you need a treat in your life. If there are no people around to give you this, then treat yourself.[ Health ] Very bad luckPeople die when they are killed.[ Work ] Very bad luckIt’s never too late for spring cleaning. An organized life starts with the place where you rest.

☠ ☮ ✗ ✈

☠: my muse’s biggest fear 

The complete and utter destruction of his kingdom, and subsequently the continent it’s part of.

☮: when my muse feels the most at ease 

Marth has been taught music in his youth, and he feels most at ease when he can pour his heart out by playing it.

✗: something my muse hates or gets angry about 

Unfair treatment of other people. Discrimination, no matter what kind, can get Marth’s blood boiling very quickly. It’s one of the few surefire ways to get him very mad.

✈: where my muse would go if they could move anywhere 

Marth is actually quite happy with where his castle is situated. It has a gorgeous view, close to the townspeople. He would live out his life there, unless displaced with no way to ever get back.

4, 20 (blaze it), 21, 35

Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know? 

The betrayal of his kingdom and ransacking of his castle taught Marth that there quite a few things wrong with the world, within and beyond the Altean border. His closest friends and loyal knights are the only ones who know of the impact.

In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?

When Marth compares himself to another person, it is in self-criticism. How can he better deal with certain situations, certain people. He is aware of his ruthless side and strives to learn.

If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others? 

He is a leader. Anything bad that happens, he will blame himself for, because he could have done better, even if it’s not actually his fault at all, and this is one of the flaws in his character.

How does your character behave around people they like? 

Not too different from how he would behave around anyone. Marth believes everyone deserves the same amount of kindness and understanding. If you mean like like, however, he will be more aware of what he’s doing, and more directly act one way or another to get their attention. Relationships are a fuck.

earth, aldebaran, hydra, andromeda, supernova

Earth: Where’s your home?

“Home is where the heart is, as they say, but... Altea will always truly be where I belong.”

Aldebaran: What’s something you care desperately about?

“Elice is my only remaining family. I truly treasure her more than anything in the world.”

Hydra: Favourite sound?

“Rain beating on windows. Something about the gushing storm outside not being able to reach you within your room is very soothing to me.”

Andromeda: Do you consider yourself social? 

“Oh, I suppose so. I do enjoy being in the presence of friends and like meeting new people. I don’t find talking to anyone very hard, though that might also in part be thanks to my upbringing.”

Supernova: What’s one thing you want to do before you die? 

“I would like to perhaps travel the world and learn more about lands beyond our continent of Akaneia. There’s just so much to see, you know?”

Oh that made sense. It looks very nice on you. He signed, a small smile on his face. Link himself had the Zora armor that was a gift. Though him memories of the one who was supposed to give it to him were a bit lacking. 

Motioning for Marth to follow him once again, he led the way to the dog’s yard. He pulled the door to the outside open, humming  a bit to himself, then moved so Marth could slip on out.

Here are the rest of the dogs.

He could feel his cheeks heating up and Marth purposely kept his attention on the dog gleefully trotting along with them. “Thank you. You’re very nice.”

Marth slipped past Link, outside into the yard, only to be quickly surrounded by more dogs coming to greet both him and his fluffy new friend. “There are quite a few, are there not? That’s a shame... though they look happy and healthy, for which I’m glad.”

The young king knelt down again, to ruffle and play with the dogs that wanted his attention. Only then did he realize that he’d never introduced himself, and so he did with an airy laugh. “I am Marth Lowell, by the way. Pleasure to have met you.”

❤

❤: what my muse looks for in a person they like 

Kindness, first and foremost. To people, to animals. A willingness to learn new things. Marth would never expect his partner to match his devotion to the crown and his people, but he needs someone who will support him in this. He needs someone to support him in whatever thing he chooses to pursue, even if it’s not the best choice.

☂

☂: my muse’s favorite season or time of year 

Spring, especially with mild rain after a warm day. It’s refreshing and smells of a new beginning.

[royalrapier]

☺: something that makes my muse happy

Spending time with loved ones is something that makes Marth very happy, unsurprisingly. He has lost so much that any and all time spent in the presence of those he treasures means a great deal to him.

With a nod, Link motioned for Marth to follow him. Then he stopped and turned back to him. You can put him down if you want. We are all going to the same place. He doubted the dog would run. It seemed very please to be near the blue-haired boy.

Actually…Now that he thought about it. Wasn’t that a circlet in the other boy’s hair. It looked almost like the diamond circlet he bought in Gerudo town. Not that he knew where it was at the moment. Still, it cost him a good amount of rupees (not to mention a diamond) so the fact that this guy had one….

You must be rather rich. Diamond circlets are expensive.

“Ah... I suppose I could. I just thought it was comforting.”

For himself, moreso. It must look weird, carrying around a dog that’s not even your own. So Marth finally set down the bundle of fluff, watching him sniff at the floor, and then at his pant leg.

He looked back up only to lock eyes with the other for a moment.

“Oh- I... used to be. A precious friend of mine gifted me this for my birthday many years ago.” Of course it would be a topic of conversation eventually. He was no king here, and yet he could not bear to be without the one thing reminding him of those he cared for.

3., 29., 45 (if we can ask multiples!)

What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like? 

Strenuous at best. King Cornelius was very strict in overseeing Marth’s training, wishing for his son to become worthy of his ancestor’s name. He disapproved of Marth’s gentle nature, going as far as to hit him for it. While Marth doesn’t truly hate his father, his memories are not the most fond.

What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true? 

It did, though hardly how Marth would have liked. His dream was to become a king worthy of the crown of Altea, to provide peace and prosperity for his people. While he is now king, peace and prosperity are far away.

What does your character believe will happen to them after they die? Does this belief scare them? 

He’s not sure what dying entails. He doesn’t know if there’s an afterlife, or if death is simply the end. The idea of dying does not scare him; Marth is more than willing to give his life for what he truly believes in.

[royalrapier]

16. Which does your character idealize most: happiness or success?

Happiness and success are in a way intertwined. Success in winning the war means happiness, and happiness means successfully winning the war.

Once the kingdom is once again safe, assuming they do win, Marth would idealize happiness for his people above all.

Link nodded, probably a little too hard. He could always use the company of people while he was working. He didn’t mind spending his time around animals. It was nice not having expectations people tended to have. Still, he could use the company.

‘Of course. You are always welcome to come back.’ He paused and tilted his head in thought for a moment. ‘If you want I can show you where we keep them right now.’

A quick nod, hands rearranging to hoist the dog closer to him. The weight of another living creature pressed against him felt soothing, and the idea of having to leave the dog behind left a sour taste in Marth’s mouth. He had to remind himself that this was a fine place to put a dog for now, and that he could come back whenever he pleased.

“I’d greatly appreciate that. I’d like to see the other dogs as well. Do you?” A scratch behind floppy white ears and a bark in return. “So he does.”

Link laughed and came around the counter to pat the dog on the head. He pulled a treat out of his apron pocket and handed it to the pooch before straightening back up. Another pat, and he was behind the counter again, shifting through papers.

Once he found what he was looking for, he grabbed a pen and started filling in blanks. After a few moments, he set the pen down and smiled back at Marth. ‘If someone has lost him they will look here.’

‘Thank you for bringing him in.’

He could feel his heart skip a quick beat, and Marth cleared his throat. Rather than linger on it, though, he smiled in return. “Of course. I could hardly let him wander the streets by himself.”

“Ah, if it’s not too much to ask... Would it be alright if I came by again? I couldn’t help but think that if no one comes to pick him up... I would like to adopt him myself. It is quite lonely at home.”

Moreover, it would be an excuse to come see this guy again.

Link was in the back tending to the rabbits when he heard the bell on the counter ring. Setting the one in his lap down, he stood and locked the gate to their enclosure. He was still brushing off bits of hay and wood shavings off of his pants as he walked up to the desk.

‘Hello!’ He signed, probably a little too fast. ‘Sorry for the wait. How can I help you?’

Marth was fairly sure he had never met this person in his life, and yet, he was struck with a sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other in another lifetime. More importantly, he was cute.

“Yes, I found this dog during my walk. It’s not wearing a collar and no one seemed to recognize it, so I thought I should bring it here rather than bring it home.”

He leaned down to pick the dog up, only to be greeted with a tongue to his face.

“It must belong to someone to be so friendly.”
