Alcryst

Alcryst is apologetic to a fault and compares himself unfavorably to his exceptional brother, carrying a negative personality. He is self-deprecating over the slightest perceived inconvenience he creates and carries such low-self esteem that he vocally considers himself useless. He can be self-sacrificing on the battlefield, stating that it would be better for him to take the place of others on the front lines, despite being a bow specialist. Much of this can be attributed to growing up among people who compared him unfavorably to Diamant, leading him to believe they spoke the truth. Usually through gentle understanding or by piquing his interest, Alcryst is quite sociable and does carry the fortitude of royalty. Once he has moved past his self-loathing, he is a kindhearted soul and can achieve great things once motivated. While he often focuses on his own perceived lack of good qualities, he is perceptive to his allies best traits, often ones that they themselves do not see. He admires both King Morion and Diamant, both of which he shares a strong familial bond with. Both in turn gently support Alcryst and help him to see his true value as a prince and as a warrior. Since he carries no desire to rule Brodia, he is a stalwart supporter of both of them. When Morion questioned Alcryst what he would do should he and Diamant die, Alcryst responds that he will fight will all his power so such a possibility could not happen. Alcryst also is very close to his retainers Lapis and Citrinne. Due in part of his negativity, he has a protective streak for both, forcing both to remind him that he is the liege and they are the retainers.
