[atrb=border,0,true][bg=e9e9e9] ▪ ▪ { LANCELOT LLEDNAR LAMENZA } dum spiro spero - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - THE MINUTE I HELD THE KEY NEXT THE WALLS WERE CLOSED ON ME AND I DISCOVERED THAT MY CASTLE STOOD UPON PILLARS OF SALT AND PILLARS OF SAND NAME, you may refer to him as LANCELOT LLEDNAR LAMENZA, crown prince of Titania and heir to the throne. just try to keep it only to those stuffy state affairs and diplomacy meetings between countries. outside of these formal settings he prefers to be referred to as LANCE, or if you insist upon being polite than PRINCE LANCELOT or simply PRINCE will suffice. his first name, LANCELOT was chosen by his father the King, and was taken from the legend of a knight said to be the bravest and most trustworthy of all the knights within the fictional court of a great king. his middle name LLEDNAR is actually the name RANDELL spelled backwards and means “shield”. the reasoning in reversing this name was never revealed to Lancelot though due to his mother dying soon after his birth. his surname LAMENZA is a long standing name thought to pre-date the founding of the royal line in Titania. sadly it’s exact meaning was lost in the passage of time, though it has taken on the meaning of “royalty” or “nobility” in connection with the royal family. (the information found above is subject to change based on whether or not a King of Titania is ever accepted, upon which point the information above will be adapted to better fit with that of the King’s) AGE, Lancelot is mere TWENTY-TWO years of age, which is quite young even when measured by the short lifespan of a human. despite his youth he has become a key political piece, often times traveling on diplomatic missions in place of his father in order to negotiate peace terms between Titania and the other nations. more and more though Lancelot finds himself attending these events, as well as taking on more and more responsibilities each day while his father slowly wastes away. in truth the King rules in name only, as Lancelot has taken on many of the affairs of the state as his father’s condition continues to deteriorate. because of his constant hard work and crusade to return Titania to a state befitting it’s long and glorious history, he has found great admiration among Titania’s citizens, excluding of course it’s ever growing criminal population. (again, the information contained above is likely to change based on any future application for the King of Titania) GENDER, Lancelot is quite obviously MALE, and while not likely to become angry with someone for mistaking him as a female, he would be quite perplexed as to how they would come to such a conclusion. ORIENTATION, dear Lance is HETEROSEXUAL and would appreciate you not spreading rumors that say otherwise, thank you kindly. just because he’s a prince, he should not be mistaken for some sort of womanizer like some members of royalty tend to be. yes, Lancelot has in fact courted a woman or two in his time, though lately he finds himself to busy to attend court balls with other members of the nobility. even if some Lady of the court were to try and engage in some sort of relationship with him, they would find themselves rebuked as he has pledged his heart to the Witch of the Forest, and will partake of no other regardless of their personality, wealth, or status. RACE, Lance is a HUMAN as well as PRINCE OF TITANIA. he was born the only son to the King and the deceased Queen who died during childbirth. he was groomed to take over the throne by his father and his advisers from the moment he was born, yet holds no grudge against them for it as he realizes it is his duty to inherit the kingdom one day. for the most part he’s done well in his role and preparing to become King, though recently with his father’s decline and the relative downward spiral of the kingdom, Lancelot has found himself butting heads with his father more and more in response to his lack of action ALLIANCE, being a prince and member of the human nobility, it makes sense that Lance would be aligned with his home country of TITANIA. as the kingdom is in disarray, Lancelot finds himself in a position where even if he wanted to side with either the aesir or the vanir, he would be unable to due to the current state of affairs. with the army busy dealing with crimes inside the country, and the shaky state of the economy, Lancelot finds it’s all he can do to keep the country neutral and out of the war while he tries to piece things back together. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +POSITIVE, Lancelot has quite the DEBONAIR attitude, which is probably a result of his royal upbringing. he is always COURTEOUS and GRACIOUS to those around him, and exudes a natural CHARM which compels those around him to like and befriend him. he is extremely SELFLESS, going out of his way to help those in need. he has a clear idea of right and wrong, and is completely UNBENDING IN HIS BELIEFS. he has a natural reserve of COURAGE far larger than that of the average person, and is willing to stand up to anyone or anything regardless of the circumstances. -NEGATIVE, perhaps because he has lived a privileged life all his years, Lancelot can be a bit NAÏVE when it comes to some worldly affairs. he can also be quite STUBBORN due to his unmovable belief in what is right and wrong. while he is very slow to anger, when enraged he can become RASH and resort to VIOLENCE in response. because he has such strong belief in himself and his ideas finding out he is wrong can be quite devastating making him extremely DOUBTFUL of his thoughts and abilities as well as CRITICAL of his every action. STRENGTHS, • SWORDSMANSHIP being royalty is no excuse for not knowing how to defend oneself. Lancelot has been training with various swordsmen since the age of twelve when he could first hold a blade. he has been practicing ever since, honing his abilities with the blade so that he may better protect himself and others. specifically he has training with short swords, long swords, rapiers, as well as smaller blades like daggers. he favors the long sword however for it’s extended reach, yet ability to still be wielded with a single hand if need be. • DIPLOMACY the best sort of war is the one that isn’t fought is it not? what with his many travels to other kingdoms in his father’s stead, Lance has become quite the diplomat and negotiator having managed to keep Titania from being pulled into the war or invaded by a neighboring country. when it comes to a potential fight Lance’s go-to solution is to try and talk things out in hopes of resolving things peacefully. that’s not to say he isn’t above fighting, but he figures that violence should be a last resort. • RESOLUTE Lance is one of those guys who, when he puts his mind to it and says he’s going to do something, goes out and does it. there’s no doubt in his mind as to whether or not he’ll fail, he’ll simply get it done, no questions asked. because of this he finds himself capable of operating in conditions others may find utterly disparaging, and can always find the silver lining to a bad situation in order to keep him and others motivated so they can press foreword. • WOODSMANSHIP/SURVIVALISM despite having grown up in luxury, Lancelot is quite the woodsman, having often enjoyed hunting and other outdoor sports. he can start and tend a fire, kill and skin various woodland animals, cook food, identify what plants are edible in a forest and which ones aren’t. He has a decent knowledge of tracking, and can easily navigate by the position of the sun, or by the moon and stars, and has a basic knowledge of the geography of the various parts of Erion. • AGILE something which his stout form might belay, especially when decked out in armor, is that Lancelot is very light on his feet. in fights he uses this to his advantage, surprising his opponents with superior speed and dexterity. he finds himself easily dodging foes attacks, and weaving in between enemies to sow destruction among their ranks. WEAKNESSES, • HONOR Lancelot takes matters relating to his honor very seriously, and as such cannot allow himself to act in a way that prevents him from acting with honesty, fairness, and the continued integrity of his personal beliefs. he also takes challenges against his honor personally, and is willing to do anything to prove himself, even risk his life. the only possible exception to this would be if he were to act in a dishonorable way for the greater good, such as for the citizens of his kingdom. knowing this, anyone who wanted to could easily manipulate him into a corner of his own making based on his need to protect his honor. • DISTRUST OF MAGIC yes, Lance has quite the distrust for magic. it is by no means do to his being deficient in it’s use, he’s actually quite the skilled magician as seen in what few magic lessons he’s taken with the palace magicians. simply put he finds magic unnatural and dangerous, and has a great dislike of it. he is willing to endure it’s use though, so long as it’s use is beneficial to others. • SWEETS haha, yes, our dear prince has a very large sweet tooth. such is his weakness for desserts and pastries that often his teachers would employ them as a way to lure him to classes back when he was younger and somewhat rebellious. even now though he holds a great love for sweet foods, and as much as it embarrasses him to admit it, he can often be found lurking near the desserts at feasts and banquets or other social events. • LOVESTRUCK young love-such a powerful thing, capable of blinding even the best of us. in Lance’s case he is often times wrapped up in his infatuation for The Forest Witch. he cannot stand to hear anyone talk badly of her, and would do anything to help her and keep her safe. lately she has been a topic of much debate between him and his father, as he feels that she is beneath Lance’s position as Prince of a kingdom. Lance for his part could care less, as he has fallen head-over-heels in love with her and will not be dissuaded. • ALCHEMY oh gods, do not let the boy near any such materials, even something as simple as a mortar and pestle. Lance is a horrible alchemist, even incapable of mixing the simplest of potions using premade Materials and Mandragoras. most of his alchemic endeavors end in disaster, either with the creation of something horrible beyond imagining, or a large scale explosion. Lance sticks to buying premade potions instead, despite the large cost in doing so. still, better than blowing up the castle right? LIKES, • politics, as he’s quite good at them • napple sorbet-his favorite of all desserts • the forest witch • his father, despite what others may say about the man • epic tales of brave knights like those of his namesake DISLIKES, • magic • the state of his kingdom • the smell of burning hair, like after his attempts at alchemy • the three wise men • anyone speaking ill of the forest witch SECRETS, • SNEAKS OUT while nowhere near as often as he’d like, Lance does sneak out of the castle and into the forest to meet with The Forest Witch. he would much rather walk openly in her presence within the walls of the city itself, but so long as his father is against their being together Lancelot finds it necessary to sneak out and meet with her. he’s gotten quite good at it to tell the truth, especially after enlisting the help of a few of the palace servants and his personal bodyguards to cover for him during his absence. he still catches an earful from his father though on occasion, since no one can avoid trouble forever. • POETRY the most secret of all of Lance’s skills is his ability to write poetry. often when he has a bit of free time he can be found scribbling furiously on scraps of paper, putting to words his many feelings and thoughts. no one other than The Forest Witch has ever seen any of his poems though, as she is most often the object of his musings. if anyone were to ever read any of Lance’s poetry…well he’d likely die of embarrassment. INVENTORY, • THE DURANDAL SWORD this sword was given to Lancelot by a mysterious spirit within the Netherworld. he knows not it’s name or history, just that it is a sword of immense worth, and that it is most likely enchanted in some way. the blade itself is long, made of beautiful blue crystal which seems to shine from within. it is extremely sharp as well, capable of slicing through leather hide with ease, and piercing armor with a single thrust. it’s hilt is made of a strange metal which has the appearance of gold, yet none of it’s weaknesses, and is long enough that it can be wielded either with one hand or two depending on the user. (to be obtained upon his imprisonment within the Netherworld, Endelphia) • POEMS a sheaf of papers Lance keeps with him, upon which are scrawled the many poems he has written to the Forest Witch. very few ever reach the eyes of another human being, even their intended recipient as Lancelot is quite particular about his written works. • HEALING TONIC X 2 A potion that heals moderately. • ZERO X 1 A potion which grants the user increased running speed and agility. SLEIGHTS, • RIPCIRCLE ripcircle is a magic-based sleight which takes advantage of Lancelot’s natural agility. when in use it creates small circlets of magical energy around his ankles with small feathered wings on the sides. ripcircle works by circulating magic through his legs to allow super-fast movement, so much so that Lance becomes a literal blur to any watching him. it’s effects can be compounded with that of a Zero potion as well, doubling his speed so that it is almost impossible to see him while moving, and leaving afterimages of himself in his wake. on the downside ripcircle can only be maintained for a very short time (3 posts at maximum), and because of the strain it puts on Lance’s body requires a cool down period in between for him to recover (3 posts also). if used together with a Zero potion the recovery time is longer (5 posts), and the effects of the potion are canceled out as the spell literally burns up the liquid as fuel to reach it’s lightening fast speeds. requires Lancelot to be in possession of The Durandal Sword to be able to use. • FURYCIRCLE at heart, furycircle is a physical-based sleight used to repel and push back multiple attackers. when used Lancelot will hold his sword out to the side before windmilling in a counter-clockwise direction, damaging and pushing back any attackers nearby. if used while holding The Durandal Sword however, the attack gains magical properties, and will create small but powerful gusts of wind to push back attackers farther, as well as possibly knocking them to the ground or disarming them in the process. this move can also be used to create a miniature cyclone so long as Lancelot continues to spin after the first swing, however doing so will leave him feeling dizzy for a short period (1 post), as well as requiring a small time for his magical reserves to recover to perform the move again (3 posts). another downside of this move is that it does not distinguish between friend and foe, so using it near allies carries potential danger for them should they get too close. • HEARTCIRCLE heartcircle is the only non-offensive sleight Lance possesses. when used Lance will raise his sword over his head causing an aura of blue energy to appear on the tip of his sword before spreading out and around him in a small dome about five feet in diameter. inside of this of this dome Lance and those close to him are protected from outside attacks, and will find their wounds being healed by the domes energies. However, the dome can only protect against normal attacks such as sword strokes and arrows as well as minor magical attacks for a short time (3 posts), and can be completely shattered by extremely strong physical or magical attacks. also the domes healing powers are some what limited, as they can only fully heal minor wounds such as shallow cuts and scratches. for more severe wounds like broken or fractured bones or deep cuts the most that can be done is to help relieve pain and slow bleeding. heartcircle requires a  cooldown between uses (4 posts), and can only be used when Lancelot is in possession of The Durandal Sword. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FACE CLAIM, [b]TALES OF VESPERIA[/b], flynn scifo PLAYER, EIFFEL • MALE • AND I PLAY 1 CHARACTERS LANCELOT LLEDNAR LAMENZA • --/-- • --/-- YOU CAN REACH ME VIA ( PM/MSN/C-BOX/EMAIL )
