A Madman's Kingdom

Darius Mehdi Shir-del

Physical Appearance:
Short, about 5'8''
Too long black curly hair graying at the roots, olive skin, dark eyes, sharp clean cut beard. Early 20's
Wears t shirts and torn jeans in the safety of his quarters, but anytime he goes out, he wears a silver robe and head covering, a crown holding the covering in place. (Think Emerati robes)
Has two scars on his face. Like tear trails.

His twin brother looks remarkably similar. But MC looks remarkably more worn. He's very skinny.

He has serious PTSD, as he was a prisoner of war. He wants nothing to do with the throne.

Darien Erwin Shir-del

Arman Cas Mokri

He is a natural leader, very suave and charismatic. Flirtatious in a respectful way. The perfect king, basically. He's just genuinely a nice kid. Loves puns.

Is very tired all the time. Also kinda bitter. Very snarky.

Is this gruff middle aged guy. He's about 50

He's really tall and really skinny. Has a hooked nose and is bald. Has three ear piercings. Tends to look rather shaggy but is really smart.

Was really good friends with MC's father. Is grieving his death pretty badly.

He was a carpenter until he married his wife and then he started doing speciality work. Turns out, he has a knack for telling people what to do, so he started working for the king.

Nima Banu Mokri

Was raised in the palace. Is a distance relative of Darius and Darien. She met Arman when she commissioned him to make a chair for her family. She thought he was extremely lonely and made excuses to continue to see him. She saw his loneliness and wanted to be a friend. She eventually fell in love with him.

Age has treated her well. She's about 47. She is average sized. She loves wearing gorgeous dresses and lots of jewelry. She has straight black hair that is cut in a pixie cut style. She loves her eyeliner.

She knows how to talk and present yourself in court. Helps Darius and Darien with speeches and clothing.

She had a miscarriage years ago and is infertile. worries this makes her less of a woman.
