## About

Constantin Flavius Alexander Leontus Lucius Solaris (Constantin Solaris) is the RP character of LemonL0rd. Constantin is a resident of Eldham and a citizen of the great nation of Aristios. Whilst not that well renown at the current moment, his ambition drives him to even greater heights of power. He is a loyal servant of the House of Olea and the mighty Kratoras of Aristios Otto Olea.

### Early Life

Constantin was born early in 2023 in the great city of Akirashalam. His exact birthdate is unknown but he celebrates it on the 17th January. His was the son of a soldier named Constantin Solaris Sr. and a merchant named Flavia Solaris. He lived a comfortable life until he was six until, on a trade journey, Constantin and his family where ambushed but bandits. They killed his parents on the spot in front of him. Only the kind heart of an unknown bandit saved his life that day, as he scrambled into the woods around Perdin.

### The Lions

As Constantin fled into the woods, pursued by the bandits who just executed their kind hearted comrade, until he reached a great cave. Cornered and with no help in sight. Constantin cowered on the ground in front of the cave, awaiting the fate that had befallen his parents. Yet it did not happen. No quick, brutal death. As Constantin looked up, his body shaking, he saw the bandits fixated on the cave entrance with a look of horror and fear on their scarred and sweating faces. It was then that Constantin felt the radiating warmth of the body of the giant beast standing over him. The great creature let out an earth shattering roar. At this many of the bandits tried to flee but with a quick flash of a blade their master cut them down. The great creature readied itself to pounce and, like a graceful bird, leapt at the bandits. Cowering behind a rock Constantin watched in fear as the creature, which he recognised as a lion, tore through the bandits. It ripped them apart. Tossing their lifeless and mutilated bodies as if they were mere feathers. Finally the great lion stopped over the corpse of the last bandit. Its deep blue eyes fixated itself on Constantin as it ruffled its great purple, blood splattered mane. Then it spoke...

"Have no fear child. Those monsters are gone now,"

Constantin looked from side to side as it to validate the creatures statement,

"Who...who...are you?," ask a stuttering Constantin

"My name is Lucilla. I am the last of my species. This is my home."

"What...are you?"

"I am a great white lion."

The Lion gently raised its paw.

"Come child, let us return you to where you belong."

"I have no home to return to," replied Constantin. "Those bandits killed my parents in front of me."

"If you have no home to return to then by law, as your saviour, I am now your guardian."

Lucilla motioned to follow her.

Constantin obliged as she led him down into her cave.

After groping around in the dark for what seemed like hours Constantin finally saw a light at the end of a cave.

He stumbled into a large luscious cave. Everywhere he looked he saw giant cats of all varieties as well as bears and wolves and birds. Almost any animal you could think of he saw that day.

"Why do you live down here?" asked Constantin

"It is out of necessity believe you me how we would wish to roam the great open plain."

"Then why stay down here?"

"Let me tell you a story. Many years ago the great and all powerful Lady Aristios, patron of Aristios, saw the destruction caused by the humans of this world. The construction of huge volumes of small artificial islands in the oceans, the destruction of woodlands and the creation of huge mass farms. So she guided the purest of us animals down here and then, in a gesture of great compassion, granted us the ability to speak to one-another. But now she has left us. Her attention drawn to more important things."

To be finished at some point, but I haven't touched grass in ages so.....
