[align=center]![]() C H A R L E S B R AN D O N ![]() * Another head aches, another heart breaks / I'm so much older than I can take. And my affection, well it comes and goes / I need direction to perfection. . HEY THERE. THE NAME IS M, AND I AM 19. I'VE BEEN ROLEPLAYING FOR ABOUT FOREVER AND EVER AND MY OTHER CHARACTERS WOULD BE PRINCESS MARGARET TUDOR. I FOUND FKAC AT GOOGLE. OH, BY THE WAY, I READ THE RULES. WANT PROOF? THE CODE WORD IS PUMPERNICKEL WANT TO REACH ME? HERE'S MY IM: N/A [/align]Name: Charles Brandon Age: 24 Gender: Male Title/Rank: Duke of Suffolk Appearance: Charles is muscular and athletic. His body is well toned after years of riding, jousting and fist fighting. He is as tall as the average man and is handsomer than most, with hazel eyes and a little stubble. His facial features are soft, but that seems to make him more endearing to the ladies. If he had to be any animal, he'd probably be a cute sort of dog that would remain loyal to its master or mistress until it is provoked and turned into a snarling beast. Most of the time he appears laidback, unlike some of the other men at court that prefer to hold themselves high and with dignity. Personality: - Charles is a gambler, and right now, one of his biggest gambles falls on the Tudor family. He is in love with Mary but is utterly loyal to Henry and must choose which he will abandon and which he will permanently link himself with. If he doesn't play his cards right, he will end up with his head on the block. - To keep his relationship with Mary undiscovered, Charles plays up the part of a womanizer. It's easy to do with the King's taste in women, and he's spent many an hour with Henry talking about the attributes of each lady of the court. - He is loyal to those he loves most and has a good deal of room in his heart for any good person. Princess Mary Tudor holds his number one place, with her brother not far behind. - He despises those who are power hungry and wishes to remove himself from the dangers of politics. He'd rather live a simple life of wine, Mary and song, though Henry has made that difficult for him after bestowing a dukedom on him. History: Charles was born to Sir William Brandon and Elizabeth Bruyn. They were a humble family of low birth. Elizabeth died giving birth to Charles, and Sir William was killed in battle while Charles was 8 years old. Because Sir William had died carrying King Henry VII's banner, he brought young Charles to be raised with his son Henry, and the two boys became nearly inseparable. Charles is completely loyal to his best friend and king. While growing up in the King's household, he often ran into Princess Mary. As she matured into a beautiful, intelligent young woman, Charles found his attentions drawn to her. But he has never voiced those opinions to the King or anyone else - he knows his place in Court and is wary of how Henry would react to the news. He wouldn't be the first of the King's companions to have his head removed at the King's pleasure. When he was a teenager, Charles was in a riding accident that paralyzed his entire body. He eventually regained full use of his limbs, though he grows stiff on cold winter days and sometimes feels an ache in his joints if he's been on his feet all day. He tries not to let it bother him - such injuries keep him from doing what he pleases, and he isn't patient enough to rest a while. Because he grew up in the same household as Henry, Charles has become skilled in dancing and jousting among other things. He's become quite the gambler and enjoys a good game of cards. His friendship with the King eventually earned him the title of Duke of Suffolk, though he isn't sure how he feels about this. Politics do not interest him, and he is almost sickened by the way court members manipulate each other to climb their way to the top of the social ladder. He would rather enjoy life's simple pleasures - and marry Mary. Over his years at court, he's spent time with a number of the ladies while trying to forget the King's beautiful sister. Not that that has done him much good - he is still as in love with Mary as he ever was, and despite all the women he's danced with at court and taken to his bed, he cannot shake his feelings for her. There has been no talk of the King arranging a marriage for him yet, and he is grateful, though he knows that he will never be deserving of the Princess. Her birth is far more noble than his. |
