TalesWeaver/Joshua Von Arnim

🇨🇴 🇨🇴

"Ah. I think I see."

This young man was born in lavish wealth as the successor of the Arnims, a famous noble family in Anomarad. It would seem that he has everything going for him: not only is he known for his irresistible charm and appearance, but he is also a genius, particularly in the performing arts. He has a wonderful voice, and an uncanny gift for remembering anything he has heard.

Many would be surprised to learn that Josua von Arnim is actually a very emotionally distant person, contrary to the kind and gentle persona he has carefully cultivated. He actually sees people in the real world as actors in the play of life, which is what makes him a natural pretender. He lacks any real desires and cares little for most relationships. Some say that he is so detached because he lost his only sister when he was a child, he grew up privileged, or he is just that much more intelligent than most people.

Although he is lacking in warmth and empathy, he conceals this through his excellent acting. From his position of power, he has been coldly observing and analyzing the rapidly changing political situation of his country with great interest. He watches everything, but he avoids relying on other people when it comes to taking action. Although he does not have great expectations of others, he also makes it a point to reprimand himself for being unable to trust anyone. He subconsciously strives for perfection and efficiency, and tends to hide his feelings through an act of gentleness and kindness.

Character Background

The people of Anomarad struggled for ten years to overthrow the monarchy and establish a new Republic, but they were ultimately crushed by the combined might of Chechel Da Anomarad I, his military, and his supporters among the noble class. Josua played a vital part in Chechel's reclamation of the throne, and he quickly came into power as the king regained his crown. He seems to desire nothing, but deep inside he wishes to regain the feeling of kinship and intimacy that vanished when he lost his loving sister. Now, there is no one with whom he can honestly share his feelings. As a man with power, he knows that people will approach him with hidden agendas, and he accepts the reality that all noblemen are politicians, and good politicians know how to put on a good appearance. He's seen people that would smile to someone's face, and then stab him in the back to accomplish their goals. He's also seen history being rewritten by revolutions and rebellions that merely serve as excuses for one party to assert control over another. 🇨🇴🇨🇴
