About your Character
Name: Prince John Plantagenet
Nickname: Lackland
Age: 25
Country: England
Position: Prince of England
Job: Conspire against his brother for the throne
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Height: 5'8"
General Appearance: Prince John does not have any features that stand out in any particular way. He is of a shorter height, almost average but not quite. His dark brown hair curls lightly about his skull, he also allows himself a small amount of facial hair. His eyes are a clear blue that rest beneath a rather large forehead and are always moving. His face holds the expression of someone who always gets his way, a sort of half sneer that only disappears when he begins to whine over some 'injustice' or another on his person.
The Prince's smallish frame is always adorned with the most expensive of clothes, cut in the highest fashions. What he lacks in self confidence, he tries to make up for in clothes and jewels. He is nearly obsessive over his appearance, allowing nothing to be out of place. If one somehow defiles his perfection he often overreacts.

Personality: Prince John isn't a person many would stay around by choice. He is selfish, shallow, and attention seeking. For being 25 years old, when things don't go his way, Prince John can throw a tantrum that rivals any young child denied a sweet or other kind of treat. Prince John is also extremely arrogant, something brought about by his fairly spoiled personality. He may have been the youngest in the family, therefore received the least amount of inheritance, but was none the less fawned over for simply being of the royal family.
Now, as he's grown older, his spoiled nature seems only the worse. While his brother is off to war, he is behind, plotting ways to take over in his place. To him, nothing is more important than getting the crown, no matter the cost. A goal that is even more appealing as there seem to be others more than willing to help him for a promise of power or gold.
Family:
Father: Henry II of England
Mother: Eleanor of Aquitaine
Brother: Richard I
Background: Born to Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II of England, Prince John was the last of eight children to join the family. While the favorite son of his father's, since he was the youngest he could not expect any inheritance. Due to this, he received the nickname Lackland in his early life. The entire family seemed to find its only connection in conspiring with or against each other.
It was first intended for the male to enter the church, though all that ended when his father began to make marriage negotiations with a Count. During his time studying to become a cleric, John received one of the best educations of any king of England.
Now, John uses the time that Richard is away to take what he wants. The English throne. He plots with those that support him as they work towards the day when he will rule England as King.
Anything else: Relies on ties to his mother and her power to get what he wants.
Face Claim: Andy Serkis
RP Sample:
Prince John smoothed down his dark hair as he turned toward the door leading from his room, sending the various servants who had assisted him in dressing scurrying out of the way. The man's shifting blue eyes completely ignored them, they were not worth his time. No, he had much bigger fish to fry. He was on his way to attend a meal with the lovely Lady Jessica. She wasn't particularly bright nor a very good conversationalist but her beauty didn't hurt his appearance a single bit. Besides, it wasn't like he paid any attention to her when she spoke anyway.
The male swept into the room, a large space containing a long table an chairs with two tapestries hanging from the walls, as a servant announced, "Presenting, his royal highness, Prince John." Across the room was Lady Jessica, already waiting along with her father and mother and a few others that had been invited to attend only to see Prince John show himself off. A seat remained open next to his guest of honor, a pretty, young woman with corn silk colored hair and eyes the color of new grass, and John headed for it without a glance at the assembled even as chairs racked against the floor as they stood for him.
Upon reaching his seat, the man waved his hand as he lowered himself down, still not really acknowledging any of those gathered. More chairs screeched across the floor as the gathered nobles sat and servants began scuttling around, serving enough food to feed twice as many than there were gathered. As foods of all different types began to fill the table, Prince John turned to Jessica, his voice carrying along the table, meant for all to hear even as he put on airs that his words were for her alone, "Lady Jessica, you honor me with your presence this day. I hope you are finding your stay here enjoyable?"
"Oh, yes! Very much so, your highness. I have found many other Ladies who were willing to spend time with me this day. After I take your leave Lady Hestin and I have plans to discuss the proper way to-" About here was were the Prince found his meal infinitely more entertaining than his guest.
