__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF
Physical Description Rheinallt is a big guy - he fills out his tall frame with wide shoulders and a broad back, all of him well muscled by way of genetics and a habit of physical activity. He definitely appears to take after some strong human blood rather than fae, though his features are attractive enough. His skin is naturally a peachy-pale, but often darkened to a tan thanks to a lifetime under an ocean sun, an abundance of freckles over his nose, shoulders, and thighs. He has bright sea-green eyes, ever creased with laughter, as his mouth is usually turned upward in a smile. He has a mane of hair that easily reaches his shoulders, all of it slightly wavy and generally windswept into disarray if he didn't have the forethought to braid it (and he often doesn't). It is a rich fiery red with streaks of orange and yellow, as if it were all made of flames. Unless he's being forced to attend a formal event, Rheinallt will always dress for comfort and durability over fashion - he's generally out getting into trouble anyway, so it's best to be outfitted with rugged boots, thick pants, and a rough top. He's also terrible about properly lacing/buttoning his shirts, so there's usually a generous swath of chest and a bit of curled red hair to be seen in his day-to-day wear. He even tends to go barefoot whenever indoors...basically he's a bit of a wild-man in appearance, oblivious to the whims of 'polite society'.
On another note, he does possess a few scars - large ones, at that. Mostly along his ribs, back, and thighs - large raking things, likely made by talons.
Personality Loud, bright, vivacious - Rheinallt is full of life and vitality. He brightens and warms any room he enters, usually smiling and brimming with good humor. There is hardly a mean bone in his body, and even in the face of antagonism, he can generally make them feel the fool by being even more friendly. Though he does not enjoy stiff formal events (and he's always anything but 'stiff' when attending them) he luckily has a natural wealth of charisma and an innate love of people. All the same, he is most comfortable outdoors, doing something with his hands. He can be considered laid back almost to a fault, though if a dire situation is explained as EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, he will buckle down and do what is necessary.
Sometimes described as a hyperactive child, he does often come across more like an overgrown youngster when excited or impatient. Otherwise he's a lot like a giant walking teddy bear - go on up and give him a hug, he'll likely hug you back!
He can turn on his charm when he wants or needs it, sometimes surprising those around him (as his default setting is something of an adorable doofus). And despite being big, loud, and energetic, he's very careful with lady-folk, children, and the elderly - he watches his language, and is always gentle and kind to them.
Magic/Abilities
Gryphon Taming - He's always had a knack for working with these animals, ever since he was a boy. He's not afraid to get in there and be physical with them (hence his scars) but he would never be cruel to these majestic creatures. He has a healthy respect, and an overabundance of love, for Gryphons.
Swordsmanship - Practices this daily, and relishes in the exertion. He's also gotten rather good at it, after so many years!
Water Magic - Ironic given his appearance, but Rheinallt is quite proficient in many types of magic involving water.
Relationships
Entirely open! Friends, coworkers, family, lovers, etc - come at me, Rheinallt has a bear-hug with your name on it!
He is of noble lineage, but he was raised with members of the family fairly removed from the main branch and so did not learn anything relating to 'high society' or 'proper bearing' and all that junk. Family members from the main family would likely not have a great opinion of him - he hideously embarrassed everyone the only times he was invited to attend events. His profession and free-loving lifestyle do not help this.
As for any family that lives with him near the coast, they are much more likely to be much more like Rheinallt himself, rather than tied up in politics and drama.
He's as gregarious a lover as he is a friend - he loves enjoying the company of others, and pleasure is a joy to give and receive! Unfortunately the fact he doesn't believe that companionship should be limited means he often upsets lovers who had expectations of monogamy - Rheinallt doesn't understand why people won't just say these things from the start so he can set them straight BEFORE things go south! (nevermind that he never thinks to do this himself, too much the type to 'go with the flow' instead of remembering consequences).
He's a loving, doting partner, but any of his relationships will be open and/or polyamorous in nature.
History
Born and raised in Featherfall, he spent more of his time roughhousing with Gryphons than bothering with most anything else. He is technically of lesser nobility, but having always lived away from the main family and any sort of political stomping grounds, he is pretty far removed both literally and figuratively. He was properly 'introduced' to society when he came of age, and attended one other event after that, but it went...uh....rather poorly. Well, not for Rheinallt, he had a blast poking around and eating fancy food! But his absolute lack of anything approaching 'proper' etiquette and behavior thoroughly scandalized high society, and he has NOT been invited back by his family since. He's considered quite the black sheep, fully a failure, to be at his age and unmarried, still tromping about with his Gryphons.
