Appearance:
The crown prince of Camelot has always been admired for his beauty. He was blessed with Thulain looks, bearing a chiseled face akin to many famous sculptures of art. He took on some of his father's traits, most notably his blond hair and bronzed skin, but inherited green eyes from his late mother. Thanks to his extensive training with a sword Arthur developed to have a strong, well-defined upper body, and on his 20th birthday, in a rare act of rebellion, got a tattoo on his torso. He loves showing it off, the image being one of Sarras in its heyday, the motto of Camelot proudly emblazoned on a ribbon along the bottom.

Arthur's attire is somewhat vast, but he tends to dress as the rank of his title implores him to. He often uses expensive fabrics such as silk, and vouches for vibrant and somewhat hard-to-manufacture colors, with an emphasis on blue - his favorite hue. In the privacy of his room, he strips down to wear almost nothing at all for his room on the castle faces the east. and gets very warm thanks to the rising sun.
Personality:
The epitome of perfection, at least that's what Arthur is supposed to embody.

The crown prince is brilliant and tends to pay attention to details most wouldn't, making him the perfect tactician. From a young age, he's been confident and bold, though his independence and freedom are hampered thanks to his rank and destined future. Despite this, he's been happy most of his life, even if he is a bit naive about the legacy he will soon inherit.

Something that's also well-known about Arthur is that he's charming and seductive as fuck. The man knows just how to move, knows what to say, and knows when to flash that smile to stick out in people's minds. He's literally charmed the pants off of several stableboys, a nobleman, and even his father's most trusted advisor, Merlin. Arthur tends to get what he wants and isn't above using his rank or charm to do it.
Background:
Arthur Pendragon is the firstborn son of Uther Pendragon and his late wife Igraine, and as such has been groomed to reign over Camelot once his father passes away. From an early age, Arthur knew of his role and did his best to perform to the best of his ability. He studied hard, did what was asked of him, and even began to train as a Knight as some kings he was familiar with had been Knights themselves in the past. His training was so extensive, that when his father remarried, he and his new wife Blancheneige chose not to have children so Arthur could keep his legacy.

However, even though Arthur was training to be King, his parents did their best to shield him from the horrors of the world. Arthur knew his father was uniting the Seven Kingdoms, but was never present for any of the negotiations and had never actually witnessed any of the battles he had heard about. Despite being one of the best swordsmen of his cavalry, he was never asked to participate in any battles and a Knight never approached him to ask him to be their squire, even though many of his cavalry had done so.

It was soon clear to Arthur what was happening but continued to follow the rules. When he accompanied his younger brother Madoc to the local taverns he never drank as much as he did, and went back to the castle rather than join him in the brothels. Even though he knew there was a possibility he never would be a Knight continued to train as one, his skills soon on par with a knight even though he never officially acquired the title of one. Honestly, there was only one thing he didn't really have to study for - the art of diplomacy.

For as long as Arthur could remember, he usually got his way. It wasn't just because he was the crown prince - though he supposed it helped - but people tended to see his way after he spoke to them for a while. Arthur was just naturally charming, even when he didn't mean to be. The way he carried himself, the way he spoke, and his dazzling smile, all exuded charm and helped him get most of what he wanted, whether it was some more food on his plate or spending more time at castles in other provinces - the most freedom his parents agreed on.

Even though Arthur was the perfect model of a future King he did rebel sometimes. When he turned 20 he got a tattoo on his torso, something none of his other siblings or relatives ever did. However, the biggest rule that Arthur broke had to do with his sexuality. Arthur was supposed to marry a woman and have children, but he had only been attracted to other men as he grew up. He had used his charm to sleep with several stableboys at the castle, slept with one visiting nobleman, and even managed to share a few breathless nights with Merlin. Knowing others would use this against him, he does his best to hide it unless he has control somehow.

Now, on the eve of his 30th birthday, the prince knows he has to choose a woman to be his queen and somehow impregnate her so he can have heirs of his own. His father has even arranged a week-long celebration just so Arthur can choose his bride-to-be. Arthur is reluctant to attend but will do so, doing what he's told. Perhaps. Arthur can even find a few moments to steal away with another man. There is no reason why he shouldn't have fun himself…
