HISTORY ;;

You don’t know your mother. You never have. You were born from a fling when your father was young and travelling, studying the world Wakandans worked so hard to separate themselves from. When you were brought into his life, T’Challa insisted you grow up in Wakanda, as the son of the prince should, and your mother agreed, unable to take care of a baby at the time.

Your life has been nothing but royal, you’ve grown up in the halls of the palace in Wakanda, running the streets of your country, immersing yourself in Wakanda as any member of the royal family should, but your friends all had mothers and you couldn’t help but wonder what happened to yours.

Your father would tell you stories, embellished and romanticised stories but stories nonetheless, but he also explained that while your mother loved you, she knew your place was here, your home was here. That your life was infinitely better in Wakanda, with your father and the royal family, than it could never be anywhere else.

But the absence of a mother in your life was.. Difficult, especially when your father became king when you were still young. You found yourself searching for - something, someone who could help to fill that void. You found it with friends, with family - Shuri took you under her wing as best as she could, and you began to learn all about her world, too. The science, the technology, you found you not only had a passion for it, but also a gift. Seeing her work come to life to help your country sparks something in you you never expected.

You find friends you connect with, people both in and outside Wakanda who seem to understand you to some degree - but growing up as a prince is hard, especially when your father is king. The pressure, the life you’re expected to lead, the training, your future laid out before you, planned by people who don’t even ask what you want - it’s a lot. It’s too much.

You pull away, you look for anything that can give you a break from that life. You fight with your father, you’ve been arguing for years, clashing on ideals and hopes and dreams and habits and this just makes it that much worse, drives you further away, closer to all the things you shouldn’t want. And unfortunately there are plenty of people in the world who are happy to give you whatever you need.

Money is no object, it never has been - you can spend whatever you want on all the things you shouldn’t, and towards the end of your high school years you find that drugs are an incredible escape from the world you never quite felt you fit into. Your friends, family, everyone sees it happening, they see you fall and god they try to catch you but the more they reach for you the more you pull away, and before you know it you’re crashing into an addiction you were sure you had in control.

At twenty two, you almost die from an overdose and even you know - enough is enough. You go into rehab, spend some time getting clean, working through the reasons for your addiction, as hard as they are to face. And when they’re sure you’re safe - you go home. You mend some fences, you make amends with the people you pushed away - most importantly, with your father.

After a year of recovery, you make the difficult decision to come back to Paragon.

PERSONALITY ;;

T’Charra is a lot like he was before in general personality points !

He’s a little cocky and arrogant and generally makes a lot of jokes and uses humour as a sort of mask or distraction.

He’s very charming when he wants to be - years of royal training teaching him how he should behave to be able to entice the best response - and he has no shame in using it

In saying that he has matured a little - his spiral into addiction, overdose, and subsequent recovery has subdued and humbled him, made him value things a little more

Loyal to absolutely no end if you’re loyal to him, but he definitely doesn’t take betrayal very well

He is very careful when it comes to anything that could be addictive - drinking, drugs, smoking, definitely wants to steer clear of temptation. Recovery has been extremely difficult for T’Charra, especially while he was at home and facing some hard truths, so he’s determined not to fall off the wagon

Generally just a sweet misguided boy who loves tech tbh

WANTED CONNECTIONS ;;

Avengers kiddos obviously - give me all the Avengers kiddos! They’d very much be like family to him, he’d adore all of them and be very protective of them. Also very good friends with most of them I imagine!

Siblings/half siblings - I’d love some siblings and/or half siblings for T’Charra! He loves family a lot, and growing up even as he pulled away from T’Challa he would’ve stayed close to his siblings!

Former party friends - people he would’ve partied with/drank with/done drugs with! They could or could not know about his overdose and his time in rehab, we can plot that out depending on the character!

Avengers as mentors - being T’Challa’s son I definitely envisage he’s been close to the rest of the team! Maybe even sees some of them as mentors, especially now!

Former drug dealer - someone who used to be T’Charra’s dealer, they don’t necessarily have to interact much now or maybe they do because this character is trying to tempt him to use again? Again, we can plot this out!
