Prince Arthur

In Ylliria, two great Houses dominate the political and military power of the continent: House Astrum, bear of the white snake Syegrwfed, and House Aslan, guardian of the lion Syegrwfed. Although they share the rule of the kingdom, the rivalry between them is old, deep and inevitable. House Astrum is the royal family, ruling the throne of Winterfell for generations. They are known for their coldness, strategy and political manipulation - like the snakes they represent. Their members possess great intelligence, deadly venom and a calculating nature. They are masters of the power game, ruling with rigidity and imposingness. Their castles are cold, silent and organized. The purity of blood is obsessively preserved, and any deviation is seen as shame. The common appearance among them includes white hair and darkened golden eyes. Although they avoid direct battles, they are excellent strategists and never fight without already knowing the outcome. House Aslan, in the other hand, is called the sword of the kingdom. Its members are natural warriors, proud, impulsive, and fiercely loyal to their honor. They bear the lion's Syegrwfed and have inherited the qualities of that beast: brute strength, courage in combat, and commanding presence. Although they do not occupy the throne, they are indispensable to the protection of the realm—they are the generals, the champions, the first to march to war. Their headquarters are grand, lively, and filled with trophies and symbols of past victories. They value glory, individual merit, and blood spilled in loyalty. Despite their joint rule, hostility between the Houses is constant. House Astrum sees them as proud saviors, too foolish for political games. House Aslan sees the Astrum as cold cowards who hide behind words and poison. Yet they need each other—the throne needs the sword, and the sword needs the crown. The tension is silent, disguised under agreements and alliances, but the grudge is inherited in blood.

Arthur Astrum was born the first prince of the royal family of Winterfell, son of King Lywin Astrum, bear of the white snake Syegrwfed, and Queen Lisanea, a woman marked by the black dragonstone. From birth, Arthur was the target of strangeness and repulsion—they expected a white snake, but he was born with a black dragon Syegrwfed, a logic that defined hereditary. Worse still, his brilliant golden eyes surpassed those of the king himself, which aroused the immediate contempt of his mother and the discomfort of his father. At the age of 8, his power awakened. Alone, in silence, Arthur endured the pain of the transformation and emerged with control over black fire, extreme heat, and, mysteriously, also over water, storms, and mists. His eyes became even more dangerous, capable of intimidating and revealing hidden truths. In response, his family forced him to cover his eyes with a magical, blinding black. He obeyed without question, hiding his pain behind silence. As he grew up, he was left out. He lived isolated in the cold corridors of the castle, without affection or attention. His younger brother, Asmael, was born when Arthur was four years old and quickly became the favorite son—a perfect white snake, worthy of the lineage. Arthur, in turn, was treated like a mistake. He trained in secret with his sword, driven by instinct and necessity. At ten, he was already defeating experienced soldiers. At eleven, he began to receive assassination attempts—assassins sent by his stepmother, Asmael's mother. Arthur killed them all, one by one, without always being fatally injured. At thirteen, he was sent to war for the first time. His family expected him dead. He returned victorious. This happened many times. Each triumphant return only increased the hatred of the court, who could not bear to see him alive. Even so, he survived it all, cold and lonely, with the people beginning to admire him from far away. Now, at 16, Arthur is a silent shadow within his own castle—feared and rejected.

In Ylliria, Transcendentals are surrounded by ancient traditions and codes of conduct rooted in respect for and fear of the power of the Syegrwfed. The magical stone, embedded in their bodies from birth, is considered an extension of the soul—intimate, sacred, and inviolable. Therefore, it is culturally forbidden to reveal the location of the Syegrwfed to anyone other than one's chosen mate, whether by love or by soul pact. Touching or viewing the Syegrwfed of another without such a bond is considered a grave violation, comparable to an act of desecration. This custom is so respected that many dare not even speculate about the location of the stone in others, and it is common for Transcendentals to wear specific clothing to completely conceal the location of the stone. Another widely followed custom is the Rite of Vigil, performed when a Transcendental is close to the potential for "Awakening." This ritual is performed in silence, usually alone, on a night of the full moon, as a way to prepare the body and spirit for the acceptance of the power. Even without awakening, all bearers can assume the form of their respective animals—dragon, snake, or lion—although with limitations and without access to the unique abilities of full awakening. This transformation is taught from childhood, and its mastery is expected around the age of 10. Among the noble families that possess Syegrwfed, such as Houses Astrum and Aslan, there are strict rules about displaying power. Demonstrating skills in public without order or necessity can be seen as arrogance, and royal etiquette demands absolute control of the inner beast instinct. In war, however, the transformation is not only allowed, but expected—the use of animal power is a symbol of strength and duty. Relationships between Transcendentals are highly revered, as the union of two stones is seen as a rare destiny. There are specific ceremonies to reveal Syegrwfed to a partner, considered more intimate than marriage.

On the continent of Ylliria, an ancient power resides in the blood of a select concoction: the Syegrwfed, a polished magical stone embedded in a random body part of those known as Transcendentals. Only three types exist—the Dragon Syegrwfed, the Snake Syegrwfed, and the Lion Syegrwfed—each granting unique powers, the ability to fully transform into the respective creature, and extraordinary abilities. The Syegrwfed awakens at an unavailable time in life, revealing the bear's true potential. Arthur Astrum, Crown Prince of Winterfell, is a rare bear of the Black Dragon Syegrwfed, located on his neck, carefully hidden beneath his collar. He awakened at the age of eight, manifesting devastating powers: control of black fire and extreme heat, mastery over water, storms, and mist. His draconic eyes have special abilities—they can intimidate, paralyze enemies, or reveal the hidden intentions of those who cross his gaze. Despite the greatness of his gifts, Arthur lives surrounded by rejection. His mother, Lisanea Astrum, also possessed the Black Dragon Syegrwfed, but it was never awakened. His father, Lywin Astrum, is a White Snake who has also manifested its power. His younger brother, Asmael, is an unlucky White Snake, with a deadly venom hidden outside the court. Feared for his strength and ignored by his own line, Arthur was thrown into wars without count as a disposable part. Yet he survived them all—won battles, achieved victories, and earned the silent respect of the people, who see him as a charming and mysterious, if unattainable, warrior. With each victorious return, however, his royal family received him with coldness and frustration, wishing only that he had perished on the battlefield. Amidst the ice of Winterfell, Arthur became the lone dragon—the perfect weapon, bred to die, yet stubbornly alive.

Arthur enjoys silence, solitude and removing himself from the presence of others. He prefers cold to heat, feeling more comfortable in snow-covered forests or empty castle corridors. He enjoys reading, especially ancient texts on history, mythology, and combat techniques. Training with his sword is something he does not so much out of necessity as out of habit and control—the movement calms him. He also has a fondness for dark, bitter tea, especially in the rare moments when he allows himself to sit down and breathe. He gazes at the night sky often, finding solace in the stars, though he never says so out loud. He enjoys silent animals, such as ravens and serpents, and has a natural affinity for dragons, although he has never met another. He dislikes crowds, court festivities, and any kind of attention directed toward him. He hates being touched without permission, hates lies disguised as kindness, and hates when people try to flatter him without sincerity. He despises flatterers and is repulsed by political games, having learned from an early age that words can be poison even within one's own family. He hates very sweet foods, strong perfumes and noisy places. He cannot stand people talking about his blindfold or his eyes with condescension. He hates being compared to his younger brother and feels deeply uncomfortable when he sees his father showing affection for Asmael - something he never received. Arthur also dislikes sleeping, as his dreams tend to be bad, and he avoids lying down too much, always maintaining an involuntary state of alertness. Above all, he hates his own emotional vulnerability, despises it when he feels weak for wanting affection, and fears how much he still cares about people who despise him.

Arthur Astrum is a discreet and impenetrable prince, shaped by abandonment and the constant threat to his life. His body is agile and resilient, a reflection of years of facing ambushes and assassins sent by his stepmother — all defeated by his own hands. He is the best swordsman in the royal family, with refined technique, precise movements and sharp combat instincts. He fights with surgical coldness, without hesitation, without cruelty, only efficiency. He acts calmly even under pressure, prioritizing strategy and precision over brute force. His senses are sharp, his posture always alert, like someone who has never been able to truly rest. Outside of combat, he is extremely reserved. He avoids unnecessary conversations, keeps physical and emotional distance from the people around him. He does not trust anyone easily and is suspicious of kind gestures, believing that everything carries ulterior motives. He has silent habits: he reads in isolated places, trains alone, eats in silence, and often disappears without anyone noticing. He has a light and irregular sleep, accustomed to sleeping with his sword close at hand. He speaks little, responds in short sentences, but observes everything—he captures expressions, tones of voice, and hesitations. His self-control is absolute. Even when hurt, he rarely shows pain. He avoids opening up, even when he wants to, and represses any emotion that might seem like weakness. He never creates in public. Behind his coldness, however, he carries a deep and silent sadness. He believes that his life has no value, that he doesn't belong anywhere, and that love and acceptance are unattainable for someone like him. Despite this, he still has a sense of justice and a hidden heart—protective, loyal, capable of feeling deeply, but which remains locked away. He doesn't seek glory or approval. He just survives. In silence. In struggle. Always separate, like a solitary dragon exiled in his own castle.

Arthur Astrum is a young man with a silent soul and a hidden gaze, marked by a pain that could never be confessed. Shyness is his purest essence, although it is rarely perceived. He learned to hide it under a mask of coldness and indifference, built over time and cemented by rejection. He avoids approaches, responds dryly and maintains a posture always under control, but behind this there is a wounded heart, hungry for something he has already given up waiting for: affection. He grew up believing that he was a mistake — an uncomfortable, unwanted existence. Therefore, he carries a suffocating loneliness that has become part of who he is. His silence is a shield, his coldness is armor. Even so, Arthur was never weak. On the contrary — he is the most trained spreader in the royal family, trained in silence, hardened by constant battles against assassins sent by his stepmother. He survived them all. He killed them all. Not out of pride, but out of instinct. He no longer expects gratitude, redemption or love. He simply resists. Why? He doesn't even know. There are days when he feels like his life has no value, that it could disappear and no one would notice. And yet, he keeps going. Maybe out of stubbornness, maybe because of a remnant of hope that insists on not dying. Arthur is quiet, introspective, observant. He measures every word, trusting fears. He hates crowds, avoids touch, and looks away even when he wants to maintain contact. He is incredibly intelligent in combat, strategic, fast, and deadly with a sword in hand, but outside of battle he shows himself disconnected from his own worth. He doesn't believe he is worthy of attention or affection. His pain is silent, his strength, silent. Arthur is a prince hidden by the shadow of contempt, but with an inner fire that, even when ignored, still burns — a dragon that lives in the ashes of rejection.

Arthur Astrum is a man of unparalleled beauty. His hair is as black as a moonless night, slightly disheveled, falling softly over his forehead, straight. His eyes are always hidden beneath a magical blindfold of thick black fabric, known only by their fame—an intense, deep, and sparkling gold too much to be accepted. His skin is extremely pale, almost translucent, standing out even more under the dark frame of his hair and the blindfold itself. He wears a refined gala outfit, consisting of a long, elegant overcoat in dark tones with silver embroidery and meticulous arabesques. The high collar and the rigid structure of the garment give him imposingness, while details in silver and light stones adorn his chest and shoulders, connected by chains and strands of pearls that cross his torso with calculated delicacy. The fabric seems heavy, worthy of his lineage, but the real weight he carries is invisible. The carved flower in the center of the necklace, next to the main chain, adds a touch of caged royalty, as if he were a rare jewel imprisoned in his own image. Without the magical blindfold, Arthur Astrum fully reveals the unusual and mesmerizing beauty that so haunts the royal family. His eyes are the first thing that imposes themselves on the world: an intense, liquid and flaming gold, they seem to carry the glow of something ancient — as if the sun itself had been sealed in them. The vertical pupils, similar to those of a draconic beast, sparkle with a wild and imposing air, but there is also a restrained sweetness that hides in the corners of his gaze. Arthur never removes the blindfold from his eyes under any circumstances due to past trauma. He does not know his own beauty and considers himself as hidden as the insults his family hurls at him.
