Profile of Diaval

Diaval is a handsome young devil, to say the least. The boy has the best of both worlds when it comes to sharing his parent’s features. His coat is a gorgeous medley of ebony and ivory, clashing as though they fought for dominance when he was in the womb. The strands of arctic fur intertwined with his obsidian locks give him a shimmering effect when sunlight lands on him, illuminating his highlights.

This coloration covers the majority of his pelt and then blends into the deepest shade of black beneath his chest and underbelly and halfway down his legs to his feet as well as the underside and tip of his tail. Diaval’s face is also completely black with an extremely light frosting of alabaster flecks, the contrast of light and dark framing his face so that it takes on a heart shape. Piercing yellow eyes, the likeness of his father, also glow brightly from the deep shadowy mask.

~ Forthright ~
Being the heir to an iron throne was no easy feat. There are those who believe that a Prince upholds a lifestyle of lavish proportions, that he is pampered, that he lays across a bed of silk and is fed his meals without so much as straining a muscle. And if that is the imagery you agree with, Diaval would be the first to tell you that you are absolutely full of shit. Oh yes, the firstborn son of the fair Nightingale family is extraordinarily blunt. He does not beat around the bush whatsoever and will relay his opinions and intentions loud and crystal clear.

~ Enchanting ~
By the time he reached sexual maturity, he had properly formulated his Casanova persona. He discovered what females and males like, what they don’t like, what to say and what not to say, and ultimately how to get exactly what he wanted but without tying himself down to any sort of commitment aside from the crown.

~ Persuasive~
The Prince had elevated himself to a King through his art of persuasion and inspiration of masses. He has the skill to easily sway a crowd as he is the type of wolf many will flock to. Diaval could utter words of nonsense and create an environment in which others felt empowered behind him. This was how he was able to establish alliances and build his empire from the ground up.

~ Cynical ~
Diaval is very distrusting in the motives of other wolves therefore he is secretive with all aspects of his life. When he meets a stranger, he won’t allow them to get a whiff of who he really was. He remains fairly stoic with others he encounters and he still does have a limit for social interactions. It all depends on who it is that he runs into and who he carefully learns to trust among the masses.

~ Opportunistic ~
With his life in ruin, he has begun to seek out any opportunity at a better life than living on the streets. He would currently jump at any chances of elevation no matter what party they are offered from. In his desperation he might even proceed without completely knowing the entire plan or even the moral standings of the situation. In this sense, he has not grown past the selfishness that corrupted his former way of living.

Diaval Nightingale was born a natural leader. His mother and father raised him to become the heir to their future reign, alongside his sisters who would play the roles of advisors. His family legacy fell, his mother and sisters moving into new lands and his father (whom he was not particularly fond of) went his separate way.

Diaval remained in his homeland determined to fulfill his destiny, seeking to establish his own kingdom that he built upon the principles of Fidelity, Unity, and Revolution. He succeeded in his endeavor, leading his people into the rising of a new era that had paved a path of the brightest of futures…until he allowed himself to be consumed by the sin of greed. Always wanting more and never settling for what he had. He wound up accepting what he supposed was the deal of a lifetime with a neighboring region that his major alliance had a vendetta against. In turn, he lost support of that alliance completely and this region that promised him the moon and the stars, noted his vulnerability and used it to their advantage. They invaded his kingdom and Diaval was forced to flee to avoid execution.

Now he has come to Rhionnach with absolutely nothing, not even a copper to his name and he will have to start over from lower than the bottom as a vagrant of Iverness.
