Need-to-know-lore for (my) ArdynÂ
(( So, everybody plays Ardyn differently (which is one of the things I love about all the Ardyn-roleplayers on here.) However, I sometimes get the impression that people find it difficult to differentiate us from one another - for obvious reasons.
Now, all of this lore can be found in my headcanon tag and in my rules/about. I understand not everybody has time to scour these pages, which sucks but I accept it. So, here is a compilation of the ideal ‘need-to-know’ in regards to my characterisation that I’d appreciate you read before interaction.Â
Sexuality - Bisexual. Ardyn is openly bisexual and he will hit on both genders. He has a strong preference toward effeminate men but he still loves women all the same.
Family - Ardyn had a younger sister and a mother/father. But NO other family. He’s never been married nor does he have children.Â
No children - he’s got no kids. He’d never have them. It’s as simple as that. I roleplay with ‘family members’ according to YOUR headcanon, not mine. Any roleplay with a ‘family member’ is purely AU.Â
Izunia was a jealous chancellor - NOT his brother. I see this headcanon thrown around a lot by people that Izunia was Ardyn’s brother, but in my HC he was a chancellor that came to the kingdom as an ally only to turn the tables upon Ardyn taking leave.
Attitude/intentions - I roleplay Ardyn as a man WANTING TO DIE. He doesn’t care if that means killing everybody, so long as he can finally rest.Â
Height - he’s over 6ft. So, he’s tall.
(( That’s all I can think of now that is essential, but please - please - please, don’t just assume things. I always read peoples bios / rules when I write a starter for them so I’d appreciate you did the same. ))
