background
Theta Undis is the reknowned and feared Prince of Kronos. He is well known for his support to the late King Helias and his unflinching wrath when crossed by those he once trusted. He was voted into his position as prince at the young age of fifteen, to extreme pleasure (and displeasure) among the royals of the court. Not only was he so young, but to this day there are whispers inside the palace that he was purposely put into his role by another member of the royal court in order to tip the scales in that person's favor. These rumors have never been confirmed or denied; and perhaps, they never will be,

because the real Theta Undis has been missing for the better part of six months now.

The man parading around as the Prince of Kronos at this very moment is none other than Theta Dhomias, a young man from the farest edges of the Kronos Kingdom.

Theta Dhomias was raised in the countryside of Kronos near the border of Myrador, born to a family of humble farmers, traders and merchants that made their living selling their goods (mostly locally, sometimes abroad). He enjoyed his quiet yet peaceful life far away from the capital and the palace. That is, until a small group of strange cloaked figures blew into town one day just over half a year ago. By the end of that week Theta Dhomias had been knocked out, tied up and forcefully taken all the way to the Kronic Palace where he was told he would be taking the place of the missing prince. Just like anyone else would be, Theta was shocked to learn that he somehow shared the same name and face as the original prince. However, beyond those two facts, and shared propensity for necromancy, that is where the similarities between the two end.

Unfortunately for Theta, the people that kidnapped him would not listen to his reasoning to refuse to take place in their scheme. He was quickly drawn into line when they threatened to harm his family if he did not comply, leaving no room for any more arguments. Theta went along with their plan in order to keep his loved ones safe, though at the time of his "agreement" he did not truly realize the enormity of what he was being press-ganged into. He is a simple country boy that has been unceremoniously into the cut-throat, gilded and volatile world of the royal court — and right now it feels more like he is sinking rather than swimming.

personality & other trivia
The true Theta Undis did not have a very nice personality at all. He was known to be quick to anger, and even quicker to act upon it. Many servants feared being assigned to him within the Kronic Palace due to whispers of how terribly he would treat them. He was also slightly eccentric; he would only eat his dessert with gold leaf, he would only walk on the left side of the hallway - he was even said to have slept with his windows wide open even in the dead of winter. Prince Undis was hard to get along with on a good day. The only people he considered close were his advisors and fellow soldiers, and even then he would not tolerate any tomfoolery taking place among them. 

On the other hand, Theta Dhomias could not be more different from the actual Prince of Kronos. He is kind and polite. He respects his elders and treats children warmly. You can always count on him to offer help when it's needed, and not a day would go by back on the farm where he wasn't tending to the livestock and the crops of his own volition. Now that he's in the palace he has to keep these personality traits deeply under wraps. For in the world of the royal court, kindness is most often mistaken for weakness. Theta Dhomias does his best to emulate the True Prince Undis, but it is a taxing job. He hates to treat people poorly, and yet he cannot flinch or grimace when doing so now, lest he give himself away. He tries to keep his mask on when in public, but when alone Theta sheds it like dead skin. He does not want the True Prince to cling to him in such a way, but the longer he stays in the palace, the harder it may be for him to separate the two of them. 
likes
True Prince Undis: Red wine, silk pajamas, cold weather, gold.

Theta Dhomias: Warm weather, sunny days, his cows (especially his main cow Bessie), his family, yard work, shopping at the farmer's market, ripe fruit (especially strawberries and peaches), bad jokes.
dislikes
True Prince Undis: Weak people, being denied what he wants, snakes, peaches, being woken up abruptly.

Theta Dhomias: Those who take advantage of others, people who hurt animals, reading (unless it's about magic or related to farming (gardening, caring for livestock, etc.)), spicy food, alcohol.
secrets
True Prince Undis: UNKNOWN

Theta Dhomias: He is not the True Prince of Kronos, he doesn't know how to snap his fingers, he has an irrational fear of vampires (once had a dream that vampires were real and they drained his favorite cow Bessie and then him, he's been scared ever since).
peculiarities
True Prince Undis: Can only sleep on his back, refuses to let servants dress him and does not let anyone in his room while he is dressing, has a long scar diagonal across his back from a sword fight he lost at the age of 19.

Theta Dhomias: Missing part of the second toe on his left foot from an infection as a young teenager, squints to read things close to him, skilled at riding a horse but actually terrible at mounting and dismounting, has a bad habit of craking the knuckles in his hands.
desires
True Prince Undis: UNKNOWN

Theta Dhomias: To return to his family, to not be found out as an imposter, to make it out alive and not lose himself in the process.
speaking to the dead
The ability to converse with the spirits and ghouls of people, animals, monsters and more. Some of these undead may not be able to use actual words, but with this ability one can understand (almost) exactly what they are trying to say.
necromancy
The ability to bring something dead back to life. This can include plants, animals and people. (As of right now Theta can only use this power to bring plants back to life.)
light manipulation
The ability to produce, bend and obscure light. Not only can one control light with this ability, they can also take it away. One can create light to use as a beacon or to light up a dark area. They can also draw the light out of an area to hide in the shadows and cause confusion. Any light can be bent to show specific colors and properties.
water manipulation
The ability to manipulate water, not produce it. With this specific type of water ability one can only manipulate water that is already there; either in a bucket, in a lake, in the air, etc. With this specific type of water ability one can also only manipulate water in its liquid form, not as a solid (ice) or a gas (vapor). 
weaknesses
◈ In regards to his water manipulation, if he tries to control too much water at once it will start to take a physical toll on him. If he does not stop himself in time he will usually lose consciousness, and this is oftentimes followed by him falling ill. The duration of this illness depends on how much he pushed himself.

◈ In regards to his light manipulation, there are times when using this ability can cause problems with his vision. Just like his water manipulation, if he over-exerts himself while using this ability, he can become temporarily blind from anywhere between a few hours to a few days. 

◈ Due to the fact that most of his abilities do not match those of the True Prince Undis he cannot use them very often - if at all - in the palace. The only ability they seem to share is necromancy, but where the True Prince Undis excelled in raising the undead of animals and people, Theta is currently only able to bring plants back to life.

◈ As all of his abilities are learned through witchcraft and he was not born with them, it takes longer for Theta to train and learn how to use them. He's very proficient in speaking to the dead, raising plants, and using certain aspects of his water and light manipulation, but there is still a lot he doesn't know.

connections
 
the current queen of myrador who has only heard rumors and seen from far away the kronic prince's abhorrent behavior toward others. however, now that a chance has been presented to her to get to know the man, she is somewhat confused by how different he is compared to his reputation.
 
comin soon...
 
coming soon...
 
the kronic advisor and mastermind of the plan that brought theta to the palace in the first place. after the original prince almost followed through with his plan to lead his own army against zoraq and the other two kingdoms, vesper snuffed him out in order to prevent chaos. he then brought in the original prince's doppelgänger, the current prince theta, to take his place in the hopes that he would also be able to turn this new prince into an ally — or at the very least, a useful pawn.
 
coming soon...
 
the princess of kronos and soon-to-be-ally if things fall into place correctly. prudence never got along with the original prince undis who treated her the same way he did everyone else besides the late king: with disdain and cold harshness. however, not that she has noticed a change in the prince's behavior, she finds him rather odd, and perplexing enough to try and get closer to.

out of character
1
To get some basic OOC info out of the way: hi! My name is Melo, you can address me by that or as my character(s). Either is fine. I live in GMT-5/EST, and I also work part-time five days a week, so Sun-Thurs you'll really only see me in the mornings, or popping into the chat in the evenings when I have down time.
2
When it comes to POV Preferences I really only use 3rdPOV - ranging from semi, para and novella. The longer the post the longer it does take for me to respond. Some of my replies take at the very least a few hours to a day, sometimes up to a week.
3
I do prefer plotting over winging simply because it gives me more confidence when interacting with my partners, but winging is also fine with me! When I'm really full of muse I tend to post random starters as well, so if they haven't been claimed by anyone else, you don't even need to ask before responding! (Unless you plan on involving rated M and/or potentially triggering topics, in which case, yes, please PM me.)
4
Please do not "poke" me for a reply. As I mentioned above I do work so I might be busy, or I may have lost some muse for our plot. I don't forget replies. You may reach out to me after two (2) weeks of no response, though that's an extreme case and I most likely would have notified you not to expect a response, or let you know that I no longer have muse for our plot.
5
On the topic of romance/, I don't roleplay these genres with people outside of those that I am comfortable with, so please don't ask to plot such things with me. (This may also apply to certain rated M/triggering topics.)
6
Recently I have decided that I will be taking 1 to 2 day breaks a week from roleplaying in order to let myself rest, because lately I've been pushing myself too hard and getting close to burnout. I may still show up and make replies if I'm feeling up to it, but in general don't expect much from me on Sundays and Thursdays.

Description

notes ;
+ theta is the eighth letter of the greek alphabet and is also known to represent "death" 
+ since he is human all of theta's powers come from practicing witchcraft. he purposely learnt abilities that would help assist his family on the farm.
+ plans in the future to have him be forced into expanding his necromancy ability to both animals and people. he will not want to do this as it goes against his beliefs, and he only learned necromancy for plants to help his family have a better harvest.
+ possible connections: member of the kronos royal court that is in charge (or at least aware of) theta's mission to impersonate the fake prince (vesper tenebrae [ advisor of kronos ]) // member of the royal court of another kingdom who is somewhat terrified of theta due to how the True Prince Undis treated them in the past (thilde isolde [ queen of myrador, has heard rumors/seen the real prince's past behavior] + elise yui blythe [princess of aeris, has previously faced the real prince's terrible personality/abhorrent actions(?) ]) // a normal civilian from theta's hometown that is in the capital/near the palace for some reason and has the uncanny ability of knowing "hey, that's my best buddy theta from over yonder, what's he doing here all dressed up like a prince and such, i should go say hi to him"
possible plans in the future to be forced into being wounded in order to have the same scar on his back that the true prince undis has (we'll see)
