Character Introduction: MC
Born as the sixth child of Emperor Solis and Imperial Consort Phoebe of the Imperial Sundom of Theia, you never expected to one day be second-in-line to the throne. But after the deaths of your four oldest siblings—Parim, Aurora, Castor, and Ember—you, and your remaining siblings Nour and Farah are left to pick up the pieces of your broken family and war-torn country.
You and your family enjoyed a lavish, extravagant life at the palace during your youth. Your siblings all were born to different mothers than you, and while some of the Imperial Consorts have used their children as political pawns, maneuvering to elevate their own power and influence at court, you and your siblings have always resisted any efforts to turn you all against each other and have always remained very close.
After over two decades of simmering tensions between Theia and the kingdom of Celestyl following your country’s role in the collapse of the kingdom of Starfell, it is no surprise that after your eleventh birthday your country went to war with Celestyl. After years of intensive training, you were expected to join your older siblings on the battlefield at age 16 for the honor of your family. The years have honed your combat skills and magic, turning you into a formidable fighter. As a Theian noble, you have a fraction of the Sun goddess Theia’s ichor in your blood, granting you magical abilities. You specialize as a diviner, studying the art of prophecy and foresight, but your blood grants you other abilities as well.
At age 22, the war finally ended with Theia’s defeat, and you and Nour returned alone to the palace to prepare to fill your new roles as second- and first-in-line. But your broken family is soon to be torn asunder again when Nour is to be sent to Celestyl as a political hostage to marry the Celestylian heir. Your blood has warned you that should your sibling go to Celestyl, they will never return alive.
You refuse to lose any more family.
So to keep your family safe, you will take Nour’s place.
