Regicide: An Assassin's Dream

((Rights or what-have-you belong to somebody back on FlatEarth, in case they google, find this and become butthurt or something. xDDD))

The kingdom of Savania was in ruins.

Not only had a harsh winter racked their crops and livestock, but now, in the heat of the summer, the king fell ill.

That was, of course, to be expected- the king was ancient, after all. However, people were expecting such a time to come much later, and not in the moment of an economic downturn.

It didn't help in the slightest that the king left behind no legitimate sons- only a single, as of yet unmarried, daughter. As the kingdom is a patriarchy, only by marrying may she become Queen. The man, no matter the status, that marries her shall become king.

Illegitimate heirs, nobles, guards and even some young peasants scheme to take over the throne- be it by force, by marriage, or what.

And never before has the leader of the assassin's guild gotten so many requests for 'jobs'...

NAME: Raziela
AGE: 16
BLOODLINE: Royalty- our princess.
APPEARANCE:

BIO: Born to the king and his late third wife, Hyacinth, Raziela grew up the only princess. Her father doted upon her as his only child, while her governesses taught her how to be a princess and a fine woman in the world. She is currently trying to deal with being suddenly thrust into full-on adulthood with her father dying, and being forced to marry someone as soon as possible... it's all rather hard...

Am I the only one who was a bit disappointed that the profile was so short?

NAME: Janus Watcher
AGE: 35
BLOODLINE: No particular noble or notable bloodline... but that's not to say he has no power.
APPEARANCE: Somewhat unfairly, one could judge him to be 'fat'. In truth 'soft' would be a better term, as his body was less toned, but no more rotund or heavy set than any of the royals. Or for that matter anyone who had access to proper food. His face is a soft round, almost feminine look, with long dark brown hair he wears straight and down his back. His soft hands, seldom having known more than a daggers weight, let alone a true fighters calloused scarring from constant sword play, are soft with long, immaculately cared for, fingernails. He is neither tall, nor short, and often has a pleasant, quiet expression.
BIO: Nobody is quite sure where he came from. Rumor has it that the previous head of the assassins and spy master guild, working for the old King, had groomed him from child birth, teaching him that which was needed to know all, and be able to influence everything but a persons heart and honor. Some say Janus killed the previous head of the guild, with a subtle assassination that no one had yet determined, and so the old King himself feared the boy who lacked any family name, but had accepted the family of 'Watcher'. Whatever his origins, Janus ran a delightfully productive, if unseen, life, tending to the Kingdoms survival at all costs... including possibly the cost of the kings life. Now he calculates profit and survival as the new powers try to rise into position, utilizing his hidden skills that he offers to whomever can pay him, in gold or in favors.
