Nicholas Hunton-Blather

IDENTITY:

• Full name: Nicholas Hunton-Blather
• Nicknames: “Hunt” (used by Caden), “Nick” (used informally)
• Age: 24
• Race: Human
• Sex/Gender: Male
• Height: 6’1” (Tall)
• Rank: Crown Prince of Duvaria
• Residence: His chambers are modest for royalty, with most traces of status removed. A cleared area by the fire is for Seraphir, and a balcony offers a direct exit for dragon flight. The room stays cold, but thick blankets and a fire keep the bed warm.

APPEARANCE:

• Physical: Nicholas has the refined, almost surreal beauty of a fairytale prince—long, wavy blond hair, blue-grey eyes, noble features, and intense yet distant eyes. He appears composed but carries an inner weight. There’s a tired sorrow behind his quiet demeanor.
• Clothing Style: He wears dark blue velvets and brocades with gold accents—formal and elegant, designed to uphold the image of a prince while hiding his true self. His armor is practical but ornate.

PERSONALITY:

• Public Persona: Nicholas strives to always present the image of a perfect prince—gracious, intelligent, strong, and irresistibly charming. He is hard-working, known for his weekly visits to towns across Duvaria, he connects with his people not as a ruler, but as a guardian. The public sees him as he wishes them to: his speeches are inspirational, his manners flawless, and his reputation unblemished. The kingdom sees him as hope incarnate—a future king destined for greatness.
• Private Self: Beneath the perfection lies a young man burdened by family expectation and isolation. The weight of his mother's and sister’s illnesses, his father’s emotional withdrawal, and the endless obligations of royalty have cracked his spirit in quiet ways. He often feels like a beautiful statue—admired, but never truly touched. He masks his instability with overachievement and his loneliness with gallant smiles. He has little left of himself, emotionally exhausted and struggling to maintain the masquerade that he views as vital to the kingdom’s stability.

ATTRIBUTES

• Strengths:
  • Tactical and strategic thinker, especially in defense and governance.
  • Deep empathy for his people; listens and acts with care.
  • Highly skilled swordsman, warrior, and dragonrider.
  • Curious explorer—his weekly travels are a source of personal freedom, and he loves flying on Seraphir.
• Flaws:
  • Hides emotions, rarely admits fear or pain.
  • Obsessive perfectionism; afraid of letting others down.
  • Mentally strained from pressure and grief.
  • Isolated and touch-starved; lacks emotional equals or confidants.

INTIMACY/SEXUAL HABITS

Nicholas is emotionally depleted and avoids romance, fearing he has nothing left to give. He shuns drama and avoids demanding partners, needing space more than connection. However, he deeply craves physical closeness, intimacy, and affection. When things become too emotionally intense, he retreats, but the desire for warmth and compassion may still draw him back.

BACKSTORY

Nicholas bonded with Seraphir as a child, and the two have been inseparable since. He trained with Caden and Caden’s dragon, Zashael, forging a lifelong friendship. When his mother and sister fell ill and his father withdrew, Nicholas took over much of the kingdom’s duties. Balancing royal responsibilities, his family’s health crisis, and his own inner turmoil has left him stretched thin.
