Caspian - Modern Athos, Crowned variant - he/him

age unknown, rumored to be in thousands

turquoise-green eyes - turquoise hair

- - - - -

    A forsaken prince of his kind, fallen into oblivion by his own actions. Brash, blatant, and loud, Caspian is sure to light up, and excessively brighten, any room he enters. Whether it's a good or bad thing, he cares not - he's here to live fast, go loud, and have fun. If it happens to become his demise, so be it - he has lived enough for one lifetime, anyway.

    Caspian struggles with his self-worth and feelings of shame and guilt, but for an outside perspective, he hides it well. It's difficult to get to that "edgy side" of his, but once one does, he can be quite a heavy personality to be around, especially on his darker days. His need for comfort, support, and healthy boundaries seems unquenchable.

 

    Caspian Golde was one of the two living Crowned Athos, born after the liberation of the Modern branch of the species. Being the rare variant he was, he was pampered, often even cut off from the outside world. He had to be perfect, and his childhood was overshadowed by excessive scolding for the smallest things - which developed into guilt, and shame, of not being that perfect thing he was supposed to be. Often his best option was to sit inside his room all day, to avoid doing anything wrong.
    Caspian was praised for his existence alone whenever he only sat still, and underneath that, he lived under an unbearable amount of outside pressure to be and act in a certain way - on top of the anticipation of being flawless. While he belonged in the Modern genus, instead of the Ancient one, his Crowned appearance and status made - or rather, forced him - to look up to a certain role model - Kate Greenheart. The expectations for him were unreachable for an Athos his age, and all those expectations even hampered his progress to learn, frankly, anything about being one in general. There was this impossible, unspoken expectation for Caspian to go fight an unsought war in behalf of the humanity, win it completely alone, and come back unscathed. He was supposed to be the Greenheart Jr. - something he couldn't, nor wanted to be.

 

    Still, he wandered in Kate's shadow for years, arguably his whole adolescence. Caspian did his best to please his elders and guardians alike, failing in the unset tasks more often than not - until ultimately completely disappearing. Such an act seemed to be only a matter of time, and his disastrous upbringing was swept under the rug quite effectively. Nowadays, not even that many know of his alleged existence. Some assume him dead. Few say he took on the habit of time traveling to follow in Kate's unstable footsteps, and that he's the oldest living Athos in existence because of it. Most would tell you, however, that Caspian never was - a Crowned Athos can only be born after the previous one has permanently died, after all.

    Or that's what the elders say, anyway.

      they are a personal species of mine. c:

      "The Athos are a bipedal, beast-like, shape-shifting species that live among the human race. They are known for their protective nature, regenerative abilities, and extensive knowledge of the human figure."
