life as eugene fitzherbert ;
flynn’s bio can be found here.
*tw: parental death* born to king edmund and queen alexis, rulers of the dark kingdom, horace eugene fitzherbert was meant to be a prince. but when an opal dropped down to their land and began to wreak havoc, the king had made the decision to destroy it. in a failed attempt to do just that, an event that ultimately killed horace's mother and destroyed the kingdom, the king had no choice but to send the citizens away for their own safety - including his infant son.
he grew up in an orphanage in corona and went by his middle name, eugene, although to this day he's under the impression it's his first and he has no middle. with nothing but his imagination to fill in the blanks of his past, eugene grew up to focus on helping the other kids at the orphanage and dream of his parents as heroes meant to come back from him when the time was right.
at seventeen, he escaped the orphanage and left a past he knew nothing about behind, adopting the moniker flynn rider (after his favorite storybook character) and went on to leave eugene fitzherbert and all of his undiscovered history behind.
life as flynn rider ;
the trials of adulthood came fast and flynn realized way too quickly just how much money and resources were needed for daily survival. he quickly adapted, however, when he found himself surrounded by people who could teach him how to do just that - by taking it himself.
this new life of theft got him in trouble, of course, the kingdom of corona eventually becoming littered with wanted posters that donned his gorgeous face. there was something exciting about this extended era of, well, running from the cops - but it catches up with him eventually. it's, in part, what makes him run to elias.
as soon as flynn gets to elias, he runs into reagan - a girl he had only met once before but managed to make a permanent impression on him all the same. when he found her unexpectedly, locked away in a tower - it turned into a 3-day adventure that started with an escape heist and ended in a lantern festival he could never forget. showed him a side of himself he never got a chance to see before. reuniting with the girl only brings that out in him again.
the move from corona to elias allows for a bit of a flynn rider soft reset. allows him to find the adventure without the risk of wanted posters flying around elias, too.
what's to come ;
at this time, flynn has no idea of his royal background. he had learned to accept, in his own way, that he wouldn't know about his birth parents or the life stripped from him when he was dropped off at the orphanage. he had created the story himself in his head and was okay with accepting that as fact. but soon, the truth behind the downfall of the dark kingdom will unveil itself. king edmund has been waiting on the right time to potentially revive the land. and when he does - the dark kingdom will need its prince. // this will be updated later, but for now you can read about flynn learning of his lineage ( and not believing it ! ) here .
