King Sheldon IV, King of Caledor
A man chosen by a God, destined to guide humanity.
King Thomas Sheldon IV
The pinnacle of power. The leader of man. The prime example of power - guide of humanity. The King of Caledor. Being the face of mankind, much lies on the shoulders of this powerful world leader. But beyond ruling a kingdom, there are expectations that one of such splendorous power must meet! By allegedly being chosen by the God-King Ezreal, the people of Caledor hold the King both in high esteem and expectation. But how can one fit such a mold of perfection when they themselves are human? One can only imagine what the King of Caledor, King Sheldon IV, must feel.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Thomas Sheldon is a medium height and well built human, a body sculpted by the military service he dedicated himself to. Although not the most impressive build, his charm and facial features certainly compensate.
Body Features
He has fair skin with few visible blemishes. His hair is short, brown and always combed neatly towards the back of his head. Additionally, a scar that travels from the left side of his lips to the clavicle marks a wound earned in the military.
Physical quirks
He is an ambidextrous swordsman, but a left handed spell caster. Additionally, he aims with his left eye.
Special abilities
After being officially crowned King and legitimized by The Choosing, King Sheldon IV is capable of summoning flames to do his will and is even rumored to be capable of summoning a Phoenix Spawn. He is also capable of imbuing himself and allies of his choosing with Radiant abilities, an ability all Kings of Caledor are known to have.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
King Thomas Sheldon's past is wrought with both valor and shame. Before him were two kings, his great grandfather (King Sheldon I) and grandfather (King Sheldon II) led Caledor during times of peace and war. But after the 2nd Slave War ended, King Sheldon II was dethroned by the Lord Commander at the time. Years of tyranny would oppress the people of Caledor under King Reinhardt Damevand until Adrian Sheldon (Thomas' father) was given a right to challenge the throne by power of The Choosing. After winning the duel and executing Damevand, Adrian Sheldon vowed to the restoration of Caledor before taking the throne. Unfortunately, his poor health did not allow him to see the end of his work, passing on quietly and allowing Thomas Sheldon to take on the mantle. With his father's dreams now his own, he moves Caledor forward to the best of his ability.
Education
Like most Caledorans, Thomas completed his basic education and moved on to Gryphon University where he learned basic magic. At the time he had aspired mostly to become an Imperial Guardsmen and decided to attend the Knight School that the University offered, honing his abilities to use sword and magic as one. Hoping to become an officer in the Guard, he committed to this for several years and joined his father in the Imperial Guard.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Although Thomas did not gain many ranks in the Order, he did distinguish himself as a capable soldier. During his time in the Gryphon's Order he was recognized as an excellent enforcer of law - investigation of criminal activity was his expertise. In two Fortress Cities alone he was capable of sniffing out drug trade and slave trafficking with the assistance of his unit.
Only after two years of service would he be transferred into the Cavalry (a rare occurrence) with the army's intention to investigate corruption. During this time, though, he would reveal his abilities as an excellent force reconnaissance unit, providing excellent intel for his commanding officers. His career only ended at the request of his father.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Aside from protecting Caledor, Thomas is most concerned with his father's vision. Since they had only recently come out of a 2nd Dark Age, his goal is to ensure that the people of Caledor will never face such a dark time again. Technological, educational and political progression is his primary concern.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Despite being an expert in military conduct, Sheldon IV is infamous for being bad at board games that involve tactical or strategic thinking. Many of his colleagues often make fun of him for such things, and even take advantage of it when making board games competitive. Needless to say, he has lost much gold when betting for fun.
