The Royal Family of Destron

[WriterApprentice]

Name: Skipbeat
Known As: Prince Skipbeat, the Prince, the Young Prince, Sir, (dear/dearest) Brother, Skip, and Your Majesty (does not like to be called this)
Race: Temeculan Cybertronian
Class: Prince
Weapon Proficiency: Elemental magic and swords
Weapon(s) of Choice: Wind tomes and his rapier
Appearance: He looks similar to Pelleas from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, except… just try to imagine him more… er… robotic and without hair. Think of a Transformer wearing medieval attire. XD
Just frame that facial expression in your head and you’ll be able to see what Skip is like. And, if you can, mix Pelleas with these two images of Skipbeat.
It's probably going to be weird. Sorry. XD

Personality
Skipbeat lacks self-confidence and many basic leadership qualities. He is rather indecisive and weak-willed, especially against the corrupted senators and nobles, who never cease in badgering and bullying the young Prince. His inexperience in authority is quite obvious by his selection of members for the new Senate of his kingdom. But, despite this, his love for his country burns strongly. He sets the happiness and safety of his kingdom above himself and will do anything to ensure that it survives and the sufferings of his people are alleviated.

Family
The late king and queen of Skipbeat’s realm were the young Prince’s mother and father. After their recent war, many members of the Royal Line had given their lives to protect the border of their country. Only six members of the Royal Line are still left alive. The only person left that is related to Skipbeat, by blood, is his younger sister, the Princess Windsprint. Aside from her are the four remaining members of the Royal Knights; Earthshock, Heatwave, Galestorm, and Coldsnap, those who were sworn to the protection of the Royal Family. All six of them are related by the fact that they are of the same, unknown, race that fell from the night sky many years ago. Because of their dwindling numbers, the six of them are rather close and feel the looming threat of their possible end.

History
Skipbeat hails from a line of metal beings that fell from the stars to Temecula some time after the Divine Cataclysm (the disaster that struck the world during the Goddess’ emotional distress). Skipbeat’s ancestors landed in a farmer’s field and caused quite an uproar among the villagers. Their initial impression on Skipbeat’s ancestors was that they believed his ancestors were demons planning to conquer the world. Out of fear, the villagers decided to call for mercenaries and adventures willing to drive away the “demons” for a bit of gold. Meanwhile, Skipbeat’s ancestors understood that they were creating a frightening impression for the natives and kept their distance, hiding in their strange metal ship that they had all ridden on before crashing onto Temecula.

One day, a vicious storm struck the village, causing the nearby river to swell. The village was soon flooded and stricken with mudslides. Wondering about the safety of the villagers, Skipbeat’s ancestors ventured out of hiding to find the villagers running about to keep the village from being swept away. Moved by the villager’s plight, Skipbeat’s ancestors, despite their current reputation, descended down to aid the villagers. After that day, the villager welcomed his ancestors with open arms and began to believe that they were sent by the Goddess herself to guide them to a golden era of peace and prosperity. Years passed and, with their knowledge and whatever technology they had salvaged from their ship, united the surrounding villages and formed a thriving kingdom. However, not everything is well.

Because of their sudden appearance and slightly advance technology, Skipbeat’s realm and ancestors have garnered the unwanted attention of malicious and envious eyes. The history of Skipbeat’s kingdom is one stained with the blood of numerous wars as his ancestors fought to defend their borders and newly found home from invaders. Added with the fact they are not native to Temecula, many of the neighboring kingdoms do not acknowledge Skipbeat and his kind as equals, nor do they recognize their nation as independent. Most of the relations between the other nations are stressed, or unfriendly in worst cases. It doesn't help that the most influential kingdom of Temecula, a theocratic nation, once branded Skip's race as a blasphemy of the Goddess.

Currently, the kingdom is rebuilding from their recent war. Skipbeat is prince of the kingdom and still regards himself as such despite the passing of his mother and father. The young Prince is adamant with his decision to postpone his crowning until he is of age. He feels himself unprepared for being king of his own realm, deciding to wait and taking those years, before becoming an adult, to learn everything about being a leader.

- He was born on Temecula and not on the homeworld of his ancestors, Cybertron
- He doesn’t have his usual disorders; dependency on sound and auditory hallucinations

Name: Windsprint
Known As: Princess Windsprint/Windy, the Princess, the young Princess, Milady, (dear/dearest) Sister, Windy, and Your Highness
Class: Princess
Weapon Proficiency: Light magic and staves
Weapon(s) of Choice: Light tomes and healing staves
Appearance: She looks like Micaiah from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, but with a more robotic and mechanical look.

Personality
The Princess is known for her gentleness and compassion, especially to animals. Never quick to judge, she always prefers to know others better than letting first impressions guide her. But don’t pass her as one for frill and laces. She hates being addressed as “Princess,” thinking of it as being too feminine for her taste. In fact, Windy holds tomboyish qualities and prefers to be herself rather than conform to the expectations of royalty. If given the chance, she would gladly throw away her royal robes in place of more casual garments. Windy’s rebellious nature is often the source of her brother’s chagrin and embarrassment as he is one who tends to follow the rules by its very words. Because her older brother protected her from much of the kingdom’s woes and issues, she has a rather naïve perspective on politics.

Family
She is the only person left alive that is related to Skipbeat by blood. The passing of their parents brought them very close, sometimes a bit too close for the Princess’ comfort as her brother often smothers her with care and protection, out of fear he might lose her. Despite that, she cares much for Skipbeat and understands his reasons. She can become furious whenever she gets word of the senators bullying the Prince. With the Royal Knights, she sees them as brothers and sisters, but is especially close with Heatwave. In fact, she knows some of Heatwave’s secrets. When asked about them, she’ll just give you a knowing smile before walking off.

History
Windsprint was born during the very early years of the war, when the battles weren’t as brutal or numerous. Because of their young age, both the Prince and Princess were kept away from the war and confined into the safety of the castle. While the others fought in the war, they were put under the care of the royal bishop and chancellor, Raymond. He was kind and nurturing to the two of them, and they regarded the man as almost as their special and close caretaker. When news came of the death of their parents, Windy despaired and mourned greatly of their passing. Luckily, she had those close to her to find comfort from.

Today, the Princess is transitioning from a child to a responsible girl, as dictated by the rules set down by the nobility. Windy is being schooled on many subjects from mathematics to politics, but she is far from enjoying them. She regards her tutors as bores and finds the senators and nobles to be stuffy old bags. She’s somewhat discontent with her life as a royal and yearns to be more normal.

Difference Between the Realm and Temecula
- Is born on Temecula rather than on New Kaon from her original world
- Realm Windy hates wearing clothes, Temecula Windy is fine with them
- Is more into wildlife than her Realm counterpart, who’s more into entertainment tech
