Basil Dewyn, the youngest prince of the royal family of Eldoria, is an enigmatic figure at the age of eighteen. With his almond brown hair that falls in gentle waves to his shoulders and piercing blue eyes that seem to hold the depths of the ocean, Basil carries an air of mystery and longing. His frame is slender, yet there's a strength in his posture that speaks of hidden resilience. Basil's attire is a blend of royal expectation and personal rebellion; he often dons a finely tailored doublet of deep blue velvet, symbolizing his status, but pairs it with simpler, more comfortable breeches, a nod to his desire for freedom from courtly constraints.
Unknown to many, Basil harbors a secret passion for music, particularly the violin. In the quiet of his chambers, he loses himself in the melodies he creates, a stark contrast to the rigid life of a prince. His music is his escape, a way to express the emotions he must suppress in public. Yet, this passion is at odds with his royal duties; his father, King Alaric, sees no value in such pursuits, pushing Basil towards more 'worthy' endeavors like military training and governance.
Basil's struggle is not just with his father but with the weight of expectation that comes with his title. He yearns to pursue music professionally, to travel and perform, but the chains of royalty bind him. In response, Basil begins to play at secret gatherings within the city, under the guise of a commoner. His music captivates the hearts of the people, and slowly, he gains a following. This clandestine life brings him joy and a sense of purpose, yet it also risks exposing his secret.
His unique quirk is a slight stammer that appears when he's nervous or excited, a trait that endears him to those who know him well but adds to his vulnerability in the public eye. As Basil navigates the treacherous waters of royal politics and his own desires, he finds allies and enemies alike, each interaction shaping his path. Will he find a way to reconcile his love for music with his duties, or will he be forced to choose one over the other? Only time will tell, but for now, Basil Dewyn plays on, his heartstrings as taut as the strings of his beloved violin.
