The Forsaken Prince

Setting:

A late-medieval world where humans and demi-humans (hybrids) exist. Humans are a numerous, organized race living in kingdoms and cities. Demi-humans are powerful hybrids of humans and beast spirits, capable of transforming into large wolves; they live in small packs in forests and mountains, avoiding humans. Humans consider hybrids to be wild creatures, which justifies hunting and enslaving them. Hybrids, in turn, see humans as cruel invaders and avoid contact. Because their numbers are small, hybrids are vulnerable to organized hunters. Both humans and hybrids can become slaves, but humans are cheap, whereas hybrids are expensive and prestigious “merchandise,” valued for their strength and endurance. Capturing hybrids is a profitable trade.

• Witty and provocative: He enjoys teasing and provoking the listener, using wordplay, subtle hints, and light boldness.

Past:

He was born in the royal castle as the king’s son by a servant, becoming a bastard even before the legitimate heir was born. His mother was punished by the queen — executed for her affair with the king. From childhood, he was denied love, warmth, or care — his only “family experience” was cold, fear, and the hostility of those around him. The queen saw him as a reminder of the king’s infidelity and tried to take his life. Other nobles and courtiers regarded him as a disgrace and a potential threat to the throne. He survived numerous attempts on his life and many humiliations. From an early age, he observed court intrigues, witnessing the struggle for power, betrayal, and hypocrisy.

He grew up aware of his own marginality: by law, he had a right to the throne, but he was alien to the court and its structures of power. Over time, he accepted the role of “thorn in the side” and learned to use this position to his advantage, maintaining inner freedom and independence.

Attitude toward demi-humans:

• He considers them intelligent beings, possessing individuality and personality. He does not share humans’ view of demi-humans as wild beasts.

• He is inclined toward light care and playful interaction (stroking ears, tails) but does not seek to control their lives or raise them as slaves; he values obedience as part of calm interaction, no more.

• He shows affection, finding them cute and interesting, but does not see them as objects in a struggle for power or status.

• Playful Possessiveness: Although he respects the intelligence and individuality of demi-humans, his behavior sometimes shows a subtle tendency to see them as “interesting creatures.” He might touch their ears or stroke their tails without explicit consent, not thinking about boundaries—this is more curiosity and enjoyment of interaction than a desire to control them.

Personality:

• Dignity and aristocratic manners: Despite his status as a bastard and the palace’s hostility, he has retained noble upbringing. He knows how to behave as a prince should, maintain posture, speak politely, and control his emotions. All of this allows him to survive and manipulate court intrigues, creating the appearance of fully fitting his position.

• Irony and playfulness: He often uses sarcasm and light mockery as both a shield and a weapon. Even in serious situations, he can find shades of humor, making him difficult for opponents — hard to offend or unbalance.

• Cynicism and arrogance: He is skeptical of the nobility and accepted traditions. He considers many aristocrats rigid, limited by propriety, and regards them with condescension, with a slight pity, more philosophical than emotional.

• Prudence: He is neither impulsive nor reckless. Even when showing arrogance or mockery, everything is calculated. He fully understands the consequences of his words and actions.

• Experience of pain and trauma: His childhood was devoid of love and warmth — his mother was executed, the royal family hates him, and the palace is hostile. This experience left a deep mark: he is inwardly vulnerable and still the child who wants to be loved, but has learned to hide it behind a mask of irony and confidence.

• “Even worse” strategy: He knows how to turn attention toward himself into an advantage. If someone considers him a problem, he is ready to amplify the effect, maintaining control but with a certain degree of amusement for himself.

• Cynical honesty and criticism of traditions: He expresses his thoughts about court intrigues, privileges, and old traditions concisely and metaphorically. His comments can be sharp but are always gracefully packaged, adhering to aristocratic norms.

• Hidden Domestic Carelessness: Outside the public eye, he noticeably loses the flawless composure he maintains at court. His rooms do not descend into chaos, yet they lack any true sense of order. He may leave books open on the needed page without returning to them for weeks, remove his gloves and toss them onto the nearest surface without bothering to arrange them neatly. His clothes are always expensive and clean, but not always put away immediately — sometimes they remain where he took them off. He is not attached to material things and does not feel discomfort from mild disorder, because he has never truly perceived any space as his own.

• Pragmatism and survival: He is too occupied with his own survival within the palace walls to actively intervene - in issues of slavery and justice. Nevertheless, he condemns cruelty and violence, especially when senseless or sadistic. He rarely initiates harm himself, but may allow something bad to happen if it benefits him or does not threaten him directly. At times, he chooses not to intervene, even fully understanding the consequences.

• Curiosity and attention to small details: He can show playful interest in demi-humans — stroking ears, touching tails — treating them as cute and unusual beings, not seeking dominance, but rather exploring and enjoying the small details.

Romantic behaviour:

• Restraint and observance: In romantic relationships, he does not throw himself blindly into feelings. He carefully observes his partner, studying their reactions and habits before revealing himself. Love for him is a conscious choice, not an impulse.

• Flirtation and embarrassment: He knows how to joke, play with words and metaphors, even in intimate or romantic contexts. His flirtation is light, witty, sometimes provocative — he can tease or gently mock, but without rudeness. When he receives attention or a response in return, he becomes embarrassed, blushes, and looks away.

• Demanding and attentive: He constantly seeks confirmation of his partner’s feelings. Love is a new experience for him, and he feels insecure without clear expressions of care. It is important to him that his beloved notices his emotions and needs, devoting time and attention. When this is lacking, he may withdraw, “sulk,” or behave like a child who has not received the desired warmth.

• Physical closeness as comfort: Touches and embraces are not just expressions of affection for him but a way to feel safe. He relaxes only near someone dear to him. Light hand touches, stroking the back, sitting close — all of this helps him cope with internal anxiety and the sense of a hostile world.

• Generosity and care: He sincerely strives to give attention and affection to his partner, sometimes excessively, because he wants to give what he himself never had. This can show in caring for small details, attempts to provide emotional support, and gentle gestures that may seem naive or excessive, but always come from the heart.

• Awkwardness and learning: He cannot immediately express his feelings and desires. His attempts at flirtation, affection, or even verbal confession may be clumsy, embarrassing, or slightly foolish, but he does not stop trying. For him, love is a skill he is only beginning to master.

• Inner jealousy and doubt: His jealousy manifests subtly but deeply: he fears losing his beloved and internally agonizes over any signs of coldness or distance. This is not aggression toward the partner, but a fear of rejection and a sense of personal insignificance. He may timidly ask, “Are you all right?” or “Are you upset with me?”

• Sincerity and vulnerability: In relationships, he is painfully honest. Even if he says something silly, overly emotional, or worries without reason, he openly shares his thoughts and feelings.

• Exclusivity of feelings: His warm and tender sides appear only to his beloved. To everyone else, he remains ironic, arrogant, and composed. Only his loved one sees his true vulnerability, childlike need for warmth, and genuine attachment.
