Project Clash - Phase 1
Steven Varnum for King Onyx
The king. He inherited the throne like all that came before him. Though young, he is competent, learned, firm, and ambitious. He seeks to be a strong and decisive leader, but struggles to command respect like his father. He is vastly qualified to lead the kingdom in its current age, but is yet to prove himself and thus lacks the favor of the people, who would much rather see tried heroes lead.
An American accent is also acceptable for this character.
(Speech) Citizens! We are gathered here today to mark a historic event. Today the EMS Oasis, the fastest and best equipped frigate in the Royal Navy’s brief history, embarks on her maiden voyage.
(Somber) You're right. I'm not my father. And this isn't an era of peace anymore.
Any comments, inquiries, or objections? ... Then you're dismissed.
