**Personality:**

Meliorn is a boy who craves acknowledgment and compliments. He craves love, and the attention that comes with it. Growing up with a life that has never seemed appropriate for him, Meliorn wants to do nothing more than to resign from his place as a royal and abandon Ivoria, but he knows he can't do that. He strives for equality. He know show it feels to be cast aside for who you are, something you can't help. He's been discriminated his whole life for something outside his control - his inability to practice magic (especially *Elvish* magic), as well as his inability to practice short-range combat. It's not his fault, nor is it anyone who isn't an elf that they were born that way. But equality is something outside his family's comprehension, and so he has given up on that dream.
Meliorn was a dreamer once upon a time. He dreamed of many things - he dreamed big, dreamed small, dreamed high, dreamed low. His life was full of dreams and ambitions that he wanted to see come to fruition eventually. But now he knows better and that once lively boy has died out, leaving but the shell of the man he once was. He's quiet and withdrawn, confused on what to do when there's any sort of attention on him due to the lack of it as he grew up. He tends to fall flat on his face when someone talks about him in a positive aspect, let alone to his face. But oh, if only people tried - there's a hint of that goofy boy that once lived, with his happy smiles and big dreams. He could easily be the best prince to Ivoria and its citizens, but alas, there's just no motivation for him. He lacks motivation on that just as much as he lacks a proper will to live, rather than to survive.
That's all Meliorn knows to do. Smile, fake your way through things, and survive to see the next day. There isn't space for him to have the privilege of living a little, not that he'd even know how to. Poor chap.
**History:**

The Emeka family have ruled over the elvish Kingdom of Ivoria for centuries on end, and nobody under the family's rule expects it to end anytime soon. The latest generation of Emekas to rule is the King and Queen Alfonso and Adelina, and their three children Aelin, Anara, and Meliorn - and all of them contribute to ruling the Kingdom as these families should. Non-elves are treated with disdain in Ivoria, so naturally the entire Ivoria family is made up of elves, who at least supposedly if not privately (although most do) have a disdain for non-elves, especially those residing in the Elvish kingdom. This family is renowned for their powerful magic, hence how they took over from the long-running Lyntoa family rule all those centuries ago. Each member of the Emeka family has their own distinct character, it is said in all of the myths that everyone's magic has a personality that will influence the personality of its host in turn.
Their father, Alfonso Emeka, was married to Lady Adelina of a very powerful, although not equally powerful, clan. Marriages in the royal family aim to marry to the most magically powerful bride or suitor they can find, in order to maintain the powerful bloodline running through their veins and ensure that in turn, their children remain the most powerful in Ivoria. Otherwise, how would they ever have maintained the rule of the Kingdom for so long? The cost of marriage for either woman or man outside the family is that if they marry into the family, they lose their surname in favour of the Emeka name in order to keep the line going, but this was widely regarded as very little to pay for the power it grants you. Marrying for love is a foreign concept, and although a few in the family are lucky that their love happens to be powerful enough for consideration, most are not, and they must accept that this is the price they paid for power. Alfonso and Adelina fall into the latter group.
This often lead to their marriage being a tense affair behind closed doors. Outside they put on the perfect front for their citizens as they always must, and obliged to their duty to have children. Their first child was a girl, Aelin, who proved to be a bit of an airhead although very beautiful and preferred combat despite her strong magic; their second a boy, Meliorn, who equally met his parents' expectations; and their last, Anara, who had unprecedented strength of magic even when compared to her siblings.
Each royal was required to train their magic and other forms of combat to ensure they would be as competent as their parents and predecessors. Anara was by far the most talented by magic's terms, while Aelin preferred use of knives and hand-to-hand combat. Meliorn, on the other hand, is talented at long-range combat with his bow and arrow, relying heavily on it during special combat training. He's also adept at performing magic, but he's never been good at close range combat. It seems as though that's what his parents had the tendency to focus on. Not once has Meliorn been outside his sisters' shadows. Rarely acknowledged, whenever he *is*, it isn't in a positive way.
Meliorn's life hasn't ever been easy. He's always been stuck in the shadows of his sister, always cleaning up their messes, doing whatever they slacked off on and failed to do. Meliorn has been nothing but supportive and approving his entire life, able to slide on a goofy grin and play along as the brother that's naive, the brother that knows nothing, the brother that doesn't need recognition to be happy. But he does - he craves it. The acknowledgment he was deprived of, the love he never truly experienced, the happiness that came with being an Emeka. Meliorn isn't proud to be an Emeka - he'd turn it all in for a peasant life if it meant he'd be able to find a little happiness in it. In a heartbeat. But he doesn't say that. He never will. Meliorn is a master at smiling, at faking his way through everything.
Meliorn has never kept himself visible to the public eye, and his parents have never forced him to. His sisters are charismatic and their presences are more than enough. They're enjoyable. So he's resorted to being known as the quiet Emeka, the one that lurks in the shadows. He doesn't have a problem with it - not a big one, anyways.
