Disposition: Being King is not an easy job. Everyone has a reason why their problem is more important than the others. Orion has heard every sob story ever told. He can keep an even tone, speak in a neutral manner and never show any signs of impatience, favoritism or emotional rise. He is always objective and fair in his dealings with his subjects. What others do not know is that he is very sensitive and is often plagued with nightmares after a stressful day of dealing with the affairs of his kingdom. He is a man who appears to be full of passion and confidence. Behind closed doors, when alone with his wife, he shows a softer, more relaxed side.
History: Orion was born in the bed where he still sleeps to this day with his wife Cassiopeia. He grew up in the castle from where he rules his kingdom. When he came of age, his father and mother retired to a less stressful life in smaller quarters not far from the ones they raised their son in. Because Skylarians can only give birth one time, all children are seen as blessings from the creators. Not all Skylarians are blessed with the birth of a child. He was raised with love and a firm hand so that he could grow up in a stable and loving home. He was also kept busy with studies and training. A sword was put in his hand at the age of five and he still trains with it to this day. He was betrothed to Cassiopeia when he was six since the women in her family have a strong history of bearing not only children, but twins. For some, betrothal is a sad thing and leads to a loveless marriage but for Orion, it was joyous. He loved her from the moment he saw her. He is one of the lucky ones. He knows she loves him and this gives him more confidence to rule over his kingdom. He also had a cello put in his hands when he was three. Skylarians are known for their musical talent. Orion showed a strong talent for string instruments and chose the cello over all others. He does his best to lead his people and provide the protection the people in the lower kingdoms need, just as the creators commanded. He does not expect any of his men to do anything he would not do himself and to prove this, he goes on daily patrols with the royal guard.

300 word RP sample for this character: Orion paced the balcony of his sleeping quarters, waiting for his wife to arrive from wherever it was that she had gotten off to. It was not like her to not be home when he retired for the evening. He had had a very long day and just wanted to hold the love of his life in his arms and rest his weary head on her shoulder. She always made all his worries disappear with a single soft and loving touch.
Being King over the Kingdom in the Sky was a stressful job since he was always having to solve conflicts and serve to protect the people in the lower kingdoms from the humans who now littered the world, separated into different races. Today was no different. Whilst visiting a town in the Western Kingdom, someone fired a weapon at him, grazing his side. They people there thought it was quite funny but of course his guard did not.
They had wisked the man away and taken him to the castle prison for the treacherous act. Then of course King Jaymz had demanded and audience so that he could barter for the release of the prisoner, who happened to be one of what he called, his sheriffs. Orion was in no condition to be granting an audience with as shaken up as he was that someone had actually fired upon him but he granted the audience anyway. They had finally bartered for the release of the prisoner, mostly because Orion was just tired and his people did need the wheat that was offered… he now paced on his balcony wishing his Cassie was there to take away the stress. He should have been resting so as not to open the wound that was so carefully stitched up.
He suddenly heard the doors to their bedroom open and rushed inside. “Where have you been?” he complained. “I was so worried.” He folded her into her arms and hugged her as tightly as he dared.
