Larita's Kingdoms Profiles

Title: King of Didlington

Name: Roland Tanner Langton

Age: 29

Personality: Roland is a manipulative man, it was one of the first things he learned as a prince of Didlington growing up with two older brothers who didn’t have to work hard to prove themselves. Manipulation goes hand in hand with a calculating mindset, and Roland has that when it comes to furthering his position in the world. To get where he is, Roland doesn’t often get attached to people. He’s often detached from “loved ones,” but doesn’t let it show publicly so no one suspects him.

Biography: Born as the third prince to the Kingdom of Didlington, it was a long shot for Roland to become King, but that’s where he wanted to be. He started with the second prince, convincing his brother that his place belonged more in the army of Didlington than as a prince. This talk came at the young age of ten, but Roland was a very persuasive child. In a matter of weeks, the second prince became general in training without any second thoughts about it. Their father, the king, was proud to let his son prove his worth to the people in such a way.

The tricky person for Roland was the crown prince. The eldest son was like a man without flaws, so Roland didn’t try competing with him as he trained in the same fields that the crown prince was outstanding in. Instead, Roland learned his enemy and took his time finding the crown prince’s weakness that happened to be a woman. Love was a weakness in Roland’s eyes, so when he saw how head over heels the crown prince was for a maid no less, he took the opportunity that was shown to him.

A month after learning about his brother’s love for a maid, that very maid died in the castle by the hands of a drunk knight who beat and raped her. There’s not much else to say other than the crown prince lost his mind after the incident. He attempted to kill the knight with his bare hands, and such an event did not go unnoticed to the king who turned his back on his son by sending the crown prince away. With the crown prince gone, and the second prince devotedly training soldiers for the kingdom, Roland was able to better know his father.

By the time of his father’s sickness, Roland being only 19 at the time, it was announced to the kingdom that Roland would be the successor to his father. Although he could not masterfully perfect all the skills that the crown prince had, he was still more proficient than his second eldest brother who was more of a brute than a prince. The king saw promise, and a new future for Didlington, in Roland and made him king before passing away. Roland, and the kingdom, mourned the previous king’s passing for three long months before he announced his marriage to a duchess that was well liked by the people. It was an arranged marriage that Roland knew would benefit him well with the people.

Likes: Smoking, Coffee, Manipulating, Having the Upper Hand, and Collecting Chessboards

Dislikes: Hunting, His Wife, Animals in the Castle, and Romance Novels

Additional Information: He’s fixated on his wife, and often has servants telling him of her comings and goings. He’s quite found of using spies, and may have more than one in rival kingdoms. There is always a notebook on Roland that he uses to keep track of the things that may interest him, and things that interest him always have to do with furthering his postion. The thin scar over his left eye came from a hunting accident when he was twelve, he actually thinks it adds to his features and likes it.

Title: Advisor to the King of Didlington

Name: Enguerrand Urbain Armistead
Age: 31
Personality: Blunt, straightforward and impassive, Enguerrand views the world from a scientific eye and holds the stance that the traditional social interactions are tedious and unnecessary. As a result what many would do Enguerrand does not. He will not help a woman if she falls less she is injured, is uninterested in playing games which otherwise serve little purpose, and has no concept of “improper behaviour” such as scratching inappropriately, cursing before children, spitting, etc, etc. Some have at times mistaken Enguerrand to be a “sociopath” due to what could be described as immoral behaviour at times. But Enguerrand would never steal nor kill as he is certainly aware of the ramifications and definitely capable of feeling pity, shown by how he usually treats his lab animals well. It just happens that if a societal rule is considered “idiotic” by Enguerrand, he will break said rule. Enguerrand is also a man who indulges in his basal needs despite his intelligence hence his willingness for sex, eating, drinking, sleeping, and otherwise he lives a hedonistic life.

Biography: Despite the status in which he holds today, Enguerrand was not of noble birth nor was even related to the previous advisor. He was from but a simple family who owned a bookstore in the capital. As the only child to two busy parents, Enguerrand spent most of his days reading the books in which the Armistead family owned. While looked upon as a hobby at first, it was not until the boy turned six that his parents began to notice something odd. Where most children reached for fairytales with bright pictures, Enguerrand always looked for books detailing physics, chemistry and biology. At first they presumed he was only curious and found what few pictures these books contained interesting. Yet when he began his schooling, Enguerrand excelled far past his age. It was clear to the Armistead family that they had what the locals called a “Genius”. Without delay he was moved to a grade more befitting of his skills, allowing Enguerrand to complete his education at the mere age of twelve and then his higher education at seventeen.

With his education complete, many began to question what the still young Enguerrand prepared to do with his life. Some suggested he should become a professor, others said he should use his knowledge to better the world. Instead Enguerrand, yearning for a bit of adventure, set forth to see the world for a couple of years. It was through this that Enguerrand established himself more prominently in the world. Beyond discovering new species of flowers, learning that what was thought to be a larval form of an insect was an entirely difference species of worm, and “sowing his seeds” as the saying went, his greatest fame came from his inventions which often led to many mistaking him to be a “wizard”. From producing fuels which could combust upon introducing a powerful heat, to utilizing magnets to manipulate metals, those distant lands which lacked the technology found in the three Kingdoms thought of the mortal man as a powerful warlock and many a person came to him, paying to see his “magic” or to get his help.

Of course those at home could tell that Enguerrand was simply tricking the primitive locals and scamming them of their wealth and belongings for his own needs, and to some that was a terrible act. But to the King of Didlington, such a skill was considered a useful one and coupled with his ability to invent, Enguerrand was considered to be an asset to the Kingdom. Thus it was decreed when he returned at twenty-two that Enguerrand would be Advisor to the newly appointed King Roland. Since then Enguerrand has been working for the Kingdom of Didlington as advisor, continuing to make inventions and helping the Kingdom out. That is, when he is not in bed with the King’s wife.

Likes: Sex, eating, sleeping in late, reading new books, discovering new species, experimenting/tinkering, gardening, and lazing about.
Dislikes: Any true hard physical labour, a lot of laws, a lot of social “laws”, children, any snide remarks about his appearance, any close-fitting clothes or otherwise uncomforting outfits
Additional Information: Enguerrand is not a violent person, he knows he is not strong, but if anyone ever goes and points out the irony between being smart and yet eating in a way which does affect his health, he will punch them in the nose. The same situation happens to anyone who also mocks other features about him. Enguerrand also has three illegitimate children from three women he has had sex with and then left when he learned they were pregnant- he still refuses to pay any form of child support though that is because he wants to distance himself from said children (as he really fears them more than hates them, he just finds them weird). Enguerrand has also been having an ongoing affair with the Queen of Didlington.

Title: Advisor of Twyford

Name: Kiana Rose Everton

Age: 25

Personality: Smart and Cunning woman that is able to predict moves from other people, and plan things out to work in her favor. She has studied a variety of subjects throughout her life, and so has a broad knowledge on almost everything. Kiana is not an expert in love, and so when it comes to her emotions she tends to not be able to hide them well. She doesn’t express her frustrations publicly, having been trained not to do so, but when it comes to matters of the heart she’s like a teenage girl all a flutter.

Biography: Kiana is a third generation royal advisor to the King of Twyford. She is the only child of previous advisor, and thus she inherited the duties. Her schooling was very intense at a young age, never allowed to falter or show anything less than adobe average knowledge on the subjects she learned. Her studies were throughout many subjects so that when she became an advisor she would be able to have strong and valued opinions.

During her first year as an advisor in training, age 18, Kiana met King Roland of Didlington when he was visiting the castle. She didn’t think she made any impression, especially since she didn’t even speak to the king, but that night she received a rather interesting letter from a servant of King Roland. She met him that night in his room, dressed up as a servant so not to be suspected like his letter told her to do. After talking with one another for a long while, the conversation become more heated until she found herself in the king’s bed.

From that one night, Kiana became a loyal spy for King Roland, hoping that her efforts would reward her in the end with a position in the Didlington Kingdom. She’s now a valued advisor to the King of Twyford, one of the best in the kingdom and often speaks alone with the King to advise him. Such high value and honor has put a target on her back, but there is almost nothing on her that others could use against her.

Likes: Collecting Buttons, Painting, Tea Time, and Jewelry

Dislikes: Wine, Tobacco, and Unruly Hair

Additional Information: Kiana has a personal collection of books in her bedroom, some of them she received in her secret correspondence with King Roland. She writes coded letters to King Roland, writing to an alias name that gets delivered to a servant and then to the King’s eyes. She doesn’t write often, but longs to be close with him.

Title: King of Luffnum

Name: Denton Andre Lywood
Age: 23
Personality: Denton is friendly, naïve, shy, quiet, and clearly not suited to be a leader. He takes more enjoyment is spending his time outside gardening or reading then he ever has ruling over others. This means, without a doubt, that Denton is a pushover. He has no concept of how to be a leader and does not like making others do things they do not want to do. At the same time, he likes to make sure everyone is happy and tends to make rules which could conflict with one another, or benefit those who should not be getting the benefit. This has led to many assuming he only cares about the rich- the reality is he’s been isolated greatly and coupled with only wealthy locals visiting him; most of his rules reflect what they want. Not what he really wants. His isolation, forced by his parents who did not want him to die after the rest of their children died and then later the wealthy locals, has also mad Denton unbearably shy and any new face he meets, he shrinks back nervously and even covers his own face. This shyness is amplified by the fact that his older siblings often berated him, leaving Denton with low self-esteem who will mostly agree with any berating given to him- whether founded or not. In the end, Denton is a sweet, kind, but clearly unsuitable leader who has to rely on his advisor to do all of the work for him.

Biography: While King today, Denton was never meant to ascend the throne. His father, a practical man who believed any man or woman could run the realm, still followed the system that the eldest child would inherit the throne. As such Denton the youngest son of the Luffnum nobility had four older brothers; Jaxon, Sylvanus, Arvel and William, and three elder sisters; Maxene, Paige and Lisette, to contend with for the throne. At that time when he was born it was his twenty year old brother Jaxon who was in line to be King. Had Denton been old enough then to care, he would have accepted Jaxon as King and live out his days comfortably as a Prince. But Sylanus, eighteen then, did not like the prospect that he was so close to the throne and yet so far away with Jaxon still alive.

It was by luck for Sylvanus that Jaxon died while on a hunting trip, leaving Sylvanus the next heir to be King. Again, Denton would have bee fine with this- now turning about two years old. But Maxene was not- now she too felt the sting of knowing how close she was to being a Queen, and yet how far she was as well. But by luck for her, Sylvanus had died accidentally falling down a stairway. It was a second tragedy for the family, but they moved on and thus the next eldest child was to take the throne, leaving Maxene who stood in line for inheritance. It was at age seven, when Maxene had become mysterious suicidal and jumped to her death from the tallest point in the castle that Denton realized what was truly going on.

His elder siblings were killing each other for the throne. Sylvanus had been with Jaxon that day when “his horse trampled him to death” while Maxene was the one to find Sylvanus when he “fell down the stairs”. Paige was there “trying to comfort Maxene before she jumped”, while Arvel had been drinking tea with his sister “when the chandelier fell atop her”. William had been by Arvel’s side while he “died from a mysterious illness”, and when William died Lisette had been the one “to find his body hanging from the stables”. Well before Denton had ever reached adulthood, it was clear to him that being King or Queen was a serious and arguably bloody issue which he wanted no part off. So it was to his relief that when the last of his siblings died, it appeared to be the end of the feud. Time and again he insisted to Lisette that he had no interest in the throne, allowing her to spend what time she had learning all of the dynamics to being Queen while Denton lived and did as he pleased.

And then Lisette caught pneumonia and died. There were no other siblings, Denton was the last, and despite not once being trained on how to be a King, he was nevertheless expected to inherit the throne. Worst of all his parents so distraught over all the deaths decided to retire early and moved to a large estate far from their son in an effort to forget everything that has happened. As such it was decreed that Denton was now King. The very reluctant King of Luffnum.

Likes: Gardening, reading, riding his horse, traveling to places he has never seen before, cats, spicy food, making sure everyone is happy
Dislikes: Making mistakes, hurting others, having to make a choice, making other sad, bitter food, unfamiliar faces, big social gatherings, having to be King
Additional Information: Denton has an overweight cat he’s named Jaxon after the only sibling who he knows has never been cruel to him (or so his mother says). He hates all of his other siblings and finds them selfish or cruel. Another thing that Denton does not know of is that his eldest brother, Jaxon, had a fling with a commoner and has produced a child- said child is now the Knight of Luffnum but again, Denton does not know this.
