The Red Prince

And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Prince. Come like a thief in the night, his blades bedewed in the lifeblood of all who thought themselves separate, thought themselves safe. The castle burned, and with it the city, bringing every corner of its monstrous construction back down to the earth. Survivors, though few, would not soon forget the lesson of his passing... nor the warning carried on those burning, crimson blades.

The entity known as "The Red Prince" appears to be a manifestation of a figure from diasporan myth, who frequently appears in fables about the excesses and corruption of hierarchical society. Despite the diasporan love for catharsis through story and song, retelling old strikes and uprisings and exoduses, the Prince is not a hero - he is depicted more as a force of nature or physical law, an avatar of inevitable collapse.

Physical Description

Special abilities

As a mythic archetype - and, more pointedly, a fictional character - the Prince's actual abilities vary wildly by the one telling his story. In some fables, he is simply a silent harbinger; in others, a blood-drenched berserker capable of slaying armies.

Apparel & Accessories

The Prince is dressed head-to-toe in blood red robes, with his face masked and his hands covered by sharpened metal gauntlets.

Specialized Equipment

Never depicted without two "burning crimson" blades or shortswords, capable of slicing through anything from masonry to space-age armor.
