Prince Caspian X
Name: Caspian
Nickname: Prince, Talmarine, Son of Adam
Age: 17
Race: Human
World: Narnia - Telmar
Alliance: Aslan
Celebrity Claim: Ben Barnes
Looks: Prince Caspian is tall and has a muscular build from all the years he had ‘training to take the throne’ which included battle training on top of learning how to handle issues of a political stand point in Narnia. He has shoulder length dark brown hair, that he sometimes puts back in a tie to keep out of his face. Along with tanned skin that are usual for Talmerines and dark brown eyes that could make you feel like he was staring into your soul with one glance. He has a scar on his hairline from when Nikabrick smacked him over the head with something (today he still isn’t sure what is was) as he had blown on Susans horn when he first escaped to the forest. Over the past few months he has also started growing a beard, but usually shaves it off using a dagger or something unless he has had too much on his mind to bother.
When he isn’t dressed for battle, meaning chainmail and armor he is usually in pants, boots and a white shirt that he often wears a leather vest over. Though there are two things that you can be sure that Caspian will never been seen without and that is either his sword or a dagger, or even both. After what has happened ever since Cornelius woke him up and sent him into the forest, he will always have something to defend himself and his friends.
Personality: Growing up Caspian was always the boy with his head in the clouds, he would love to hear about the stories of old and all of the talking beasts. He would often talk to the pets around the castle to his aunt’s disgust. So even though he acted as a carefree boy, he often escaped into daydreams because he hated the life he lead with his aunt and uncle. As he grew into a young man he became more hard headed and hot tempered, though there are still times when someone could find him sitting alone and looking up at the sky like he is in another place.
Deep down Caspian has a good heart, and has a deep respect for the Old Narnias who inhabit the forest. He wants nothing more than to help them regain the country that was once theirs and not be treated like scum or live in fear like they did under the Talmerine rule or that of the white witch. He also has a habit to be brave to the point of stupidity, if he find that there is someone in need of help he will usually leap first and think later, something that has a habit of risking his life and that of others. He doesn’t believe he is ready to be king, especially after being tricked into releasing Jadis he feels he will never be a great King like Peter was, if he could be tricked so easily. Even though there are still a few who believe in him, what good would it be if he cant learn to believe in himself?

Queen Anya of Narnia (mother/Deceased)

History: Prince Caspian was the only child of King Caspian the XI and his Queen. When the young Caspian was born the King and Queen where so excited to finally have a family, not to mention a son to carry on their line. The first few years of the Princes life where happy ones, he was a truly loved child who could often be seen in the gardens with his mother watching over him while he toddled after animals giggling. However tragedy truck when Caspian was around 5 years old as his father was mysteriously killed. Caspian couldn’t understand why his father wasnt around, or why everyone seemed so sad in the days that fallowed. He would ask his mother when father was coming home but she would just look at him with her dark sad eyes and then begin to cry again. It was his Uncle Miraz who finally told the little boy that his father was dead, had been murdered and would never be coming home at all. Caspian cried for days after that, but finally told himself that he had to be strong for his mother and father.
However it wasn't to long after his fathers death that his mother soon fallowed him into the afterlife, leaving Caspian and Narnia in the care of Miraz. As he got older Caspian was rarely actually cared for by his Aunt and Uncle other then during training sessions or the few walks twice a week he would have with his uncle. Most of the time while he was young he was taken care of by a nurse, Caspian was greatly fond of his nurse who told him all of the stories about Narnia. Just she never told them to him like they where fairy tails like most Telmerines believed, she told them like they where the real history of the country. This lead the young Caspian to try and talk to animals he would find in the gardens or even to the castle pets which his aunt found very disturbing. When she asked him about it Caspian told her of the old stories that his nurse had told him, horrified she went to her husband and told him that their nephews nurse was spreading tales.
For this Caspians nurse was punished and sent away then replaced by a tutor named Cornelius when he was around ten years old. Even though he had been very upset about the dismissal of his nurse, Caspian became very close to his tutor and considered him a good friend. Cornelius taught him many topics including grammar, astronomy, history, and politics. As soon as his schooling began, he was also taught nonacademic but princely pursuits such as horse riding, archery, swordplay, and music. Cornelius also continued to tell him of Narnia in the times of the Kings and Queens of old, though this time Caspian knew better then to show his interest around his Aunt and Uncle.
That was how Caspian lived his life, eating sleeping and learning how to be a King. However that all changed when he was seventeen and his Aunt gave birth to a son. Cornelius woke him in the middle of the night and told him he had to run because now that Miraz had an heir he would have no problem killing Caspian since he had killed his father for the throne. He gave the young prince some money and a horse, telling him to make for the forest because no Talmerines would dare fallow him into there. Just before he left he also gave him the horn of Queen Susan, telling him to only use it when he is in great need. Then with a promise that they would meet again, Caspian took off for the refuge of the forest. Being Pursued in the woods, Caspian hits a branch and falls off his horse. He is rescued by two dwarfs, Trumpkin and Nikabrik, and a talking badger named Trufflehunter. While Trumpkin goes after the people chasing Caspian , Nikabrick saves saves the boy. Fearing for his life, Caspian blows the horn to summon help and to shut him up Nikabrik hits him with something and knocks him out.
When Caspian awakens he hears trufflehunter and Nikabrik arguing over his fate. Nikabrick thinks they should kill him, so fearing for his life he grabs a fire poker and points it at the dwarf. Though once they have calmed down, Caspian tells the two Narnians of how his uncle wishes him dead for his throne. He was about to leave to keep the two creatures safe when Trufflehunter spoke up that he was meant to save them, that him possessing Queens Susans horn had been a sign. So he agreed to meet with the other Narnians that where hiding in the woods.
Nikabrik and Trufflehunter lead Caspian to where the Narnians where assembled (Not without fighting off some Telmarines and finding a very noble mouse). Caspian convinces them to help him win his throne so he can return their Kingdom to them, even though in the beginning they where prepared to kill him for the crimes of his people. Caspian helps the Narnians steal enough weapons to help them in the fight against Miraz, and it isn’t to long after that the Pevensies join them and even though they arent exactly what he expected Caspian is glad to have them.
They all left for Aslan's How, a huge barrow built over the Stone Table. Peter thinks they should attack Miraz's castle, since most of his men are heading towards the how to attack them. However Caspian thinks that it would be safer to do battle from the how, knowing that no one has ever taken his Uncles castle. However his advice seems to fall of def ears, so he goes with the eldest Pevensies and the Narnians to storm the castle even though he believes it to be a fools errand that could get them killed. The raid on the Castle goes just as Caspian thought it would, badly. They end up loosing allot of lives and the only small brightside the young Prince could find in the whole thing is that they where able to rescue his tutor Cornelius from Miraz. When they return to the How Peter and Caspian argue about it and end up drawing swords, but the fight is quickly broken up.
Back at the stone table Nikabrik, with the help of a hag and a werewolf, tell Caspian that they can help reclaim his place on the throne, not to mention get rid of his uncle and stop all of the endless bloodshed of Narnians and innocence. The hag uses black magic to summon, the White Witch. However when he see's what they are doing, Caspian knows that this what not want he wanted. Nikabrik and the hag grab Caspian and slice open his hand, then after being let go Caspian feels himself being drawn to the wall of ice....even if he has no idea why. From inside a wall of ice, the White Witch tries to convince Caspian to free her with a drop of blood. Peter, Edmund, Lucy and Trumpkin arrive. Edmund kills the werewolf and Trumpkin stabs Nikabrik just as he is about to kill Lucy. Peter see's Caspian being manipulated by the White Witch, tries to knock him out of the way but before he can Caspians hand touches that of the white witch and then all hell breaks loose.
That was two months ago, now Caspain and the Pevensies along with the Narnians have taken refuge in the mountains country of Archenland trying to figure out their next move. So all Caspian can do is feel the temperature grow steadily colder and watch his people suffer and know that it is all his doing for being so easily Manipulated. Though one thing is for sure, he will right his mistakes and become a man that Narnia would be proud to call its King.....or die trying.

Your Name/Nickname: Nick/Nicky
Roleplaying Experience: Around seven years
Sample Roleplay:Caspian laid in his bunk just staring up at the cave ceiling that some of them had decided to spend the night in. There was a fire raging next to him to help keep the cave from freezing but he didn’t feel any of the comforting heat. He felt cold to the bone as he thought of the white witch back in Narnia, wreaking havoc on the whole country while he laid here and hid in a hole. What kind of King was he being? He had released this horror on the land, something Peter never fail to remind him of and now he was here hiding safely while those left behind in Narnia suffered and other where forced away from their home.
He wondered why the Narnians still fallowed him at all, then again they could be fallowing the Pevensies not him. Who was really still almost a boy, when the Kings and Queens of old who may look young, ruled for years and where loved by all. He could only hope to gain that respect one day, even though as time went by it seemed to become a smaller and smaller chance that it ever would be. He sighed and got to his feet, looking at his companions around the fire for a moment before heading out to the mouth of the cave and sitting on the cliff side that it opened up too. He looked around at the mountains, fire lights being visible every now and again where others had taken camp. Even if they did still fallow him, he had to prove to himself that he deserved their loyalty. Prove to himself and probably others that when the White Witch fell that he deserved to be crowned their King, and King who will give them back their kingdom.
He was so lost in his own thoughts that he hadn’t registered another presence until he heard the foot steps directly behind him.” Are you sure you wish to be seen out here with the screw up? Unless you are plotting to push me off the cliff.” He said before he turned his head slightly to see who else was up this late at night.
