Name: James Sutton

Age: 21

Gender: male

Appearance: (im gonna draw it, but ill provide the basics) tall, and rather thin, as well as pretty good-looking. lightly tanned skin, long black hair that he keeps up in a ponytail most of the time. eyes are a deep navy blue.

Personality: mostly, rp it out, but here's the basics. james has a bit of an ego, since he's a prince, and everything, and one that has magic, too. treats those he cares about well, and doesn't treat the ones he doesn't care about very well, though. isn't a huge fan of authority, more of a rebellious type by nature. bad temper, if he's angered.

Magic: a whole mix of things, but mostly water/ice magic

Status: he a prince

Family: his parents, the king and queen, and a younger sister, who was married off to a prince from another kingdom a few years back, and they produced a daughter, his niece. a few cousins and such, as well.

History: has lived a life full of privilege and luxury, and honestly, hasn't done too much. james has traveled to many other kingdoms and countries in his time, and has quite a few friends because of it. despite such a life, he almost envies the simplicity of a commoner's life. right now, though, he's facing the fact that he must take over as king, for his aging father, and faces the decision, about an arranged marriage, or one of his own choice, and he's not too happy about it.

Other: hope this is okay?

Name: Radia "Raz" Carrant
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Radia has dark brown hair that falls down just bellow the bottom of her chest in little waves, though she normally keeps it pulled back. Her skin is nicely tanned from her time outside. She has a narrow face with a few freckles across her cheeks and thin nose. She has thin rosy lips. Her eyes are a light forest green framed by dark eyelashes. She stands at 5'7 with a small frame.
Personality: Radia is a normally kind girl, but she is also cunning and clever. She tends to stay in the dark, going unnoticed. Even though she prefers going without being noticed, if she has to cover or act, she can pull it off nicely. More to be RP'ed
Magic: Radia has a small control on how people see her. She can make it seem like she is just passing by when she is really stealing. Her ability only reigns power over vision concerning her, not emotions. Her power works best on people without magic in their blood. If she wants to fool someone with magic in their blood, she has to focus more.
Status: She is a commoner, on the poor side.
Family: Her mother passed when she was young and her father passed a few years ago.
History: Radia lived with her father until she was seventeen when he tried marrying her off. She left and made a life for her own here.
Other: Radia sometimes takes cleaning jobs to keep a pay coming in, and when she needs to, relies on thievery to get what she wants/needs.

Radia just finished cleaning the house of one of the richer families in town. She walked to their office, got her pay, and then walked out the front door. They had a beautiful garden out front-- one Raz planted-- with all sorts of colors. It was one of her better jobs, and she couldn't help but feel a bit prideful over it. She slipped her coins into her pocket and clipped the buttons of her light brown cloak at her neck. The back fell down just below her knees, and flew behind her as she walked. Her hair tumbled down her back, kept out of her face by a hairband her mother had owned. She walked down the street and into town. Maybe she would buy something today. She had a fair amount of pay...

James was currently "visiting" one of the poorer towns of the kingdom, accompanied by his personal guards, and one of his cousins, who was a knight, he and James seated on specially bred, regal-looking horses, bred just for the royal family. The people of the town, as far as James knew, simply assumed he was there visiting, but anyone who really knew why the royal family ever came to these towns, was to look for people with magic, and if the town would be good for anything else. The prince was not too fond of these activities, so he hardly paid attention, even as people gawked and stared, seeing the quite regal group, even including a prince, too. He simply wished he could go back to the castle, soon.

As Radia walked along, she heard whispers of the royals being in town, visiting. She internally rolled her eyes. She didn't understand why the bothered coming to town. Nevertheless, she was slightly intrigued. It wasn't every day anyone got to see a royal-- well, unless they were royal, of course. Radia finally made it to the market. She looked around. An apple seemed really good at thelat moment. Radia hadn't had an apple in a while... She spotted the pile of red at the other end of the markets, on the corner of the crossroads. There was a crowd. Easy to conceal herself, no one would be paying attention to her anyways. A small smirk found its way onto her lips before she composed herself and walked down the street, giving slight nods to people she knew. She made sure no one watched her as she finally made it to the corner. The crowd backed up slightly, pushing Raz back, but she kept making her way over to the apples. She concentrated, making it look like she was someone in the crowd, ogling at whatever the rest of the people were ogling at. She made her way over to the apples. She quickly took one, passing it over to her other hand. Before she was out of reach, she stuck her hand out, sure that no one noticed her, and took another. She hid them in her deerskin bag. She looked at the people around her. None of them seemed to notice. Her lips curled slightly in a small smile. She started to walk away, not even looking at what the crowd stared at, as her magic slowly disappeared from the crowds eyes, not that it had to do much anyways with their attention distracted.

James felt his cousin elbow him in the ribs, and he let out a small sigh, after giving him a quick glare, and was practically forced to wave to the crowd. He looked at the faces of the crowd, and narrowed his eyes slightly, as he spotted someone disappear, into thin air, it seemed. He turned to his cousin, giving him a look, that spoke for him. The knight nodded, and sent one of the guards to investigate, James telling said guard what the woman, from what he saw, looked like. Cloak, thinner kind of face, it seemed. The guard marched around the crowd, and near the streets, until he did spot such a woman, and he began shouting at her, demanding that she come with him. James simply looked on, with a small nod, when the guard found her. Nothing more, nothing less.

Radia was almost out. She had just broken the crowd and made It a few steps away when someone started to shout. She turned to look, seeing a guard shouting at... her. Her eyes widened and she panicked for a moment. She looked at the guard, and tapped into her power. Her heart beat sped up, but she managed to try to fool the guard, making him see her as just a little girl who was trying to see... Realization dawned on her. The crowd had been gathered around the royals. That didn't help Raz calm her heart beat. She took a sharp intake of breath, turned, and ran. She kept hold on her magic, appearing to non-magic people as a little-- ten year old, maybe-- girl running down the streets. It almost slipped, but she focused to keep it up. She knew it wasn't enough to fool the royal blood line, but she hoped the guard wasn't of royal descent and that he had been fooled. Maybe the actual royals expected the guard to accomplish his job, and wouldn't pay her any mind. Raz could be hopeful, but she didn't like her odds. She slipped into an alleyway, letting her grip on her magic loosen until her disguise was gone and she would appear to anyone as who she actually was. Her breaths came in ragged gasps. They saw her. She'd heard stories about how they captured people who had magic, though she didn't think they actually did... Radia leaned against the wall behind her and slid down. She pulled her hood up over her head, hiding her face in shadow. She waited there, in the alley, to see if the guard had pursued her or not.

The guard, was not someone who possessed magic, but James and his cousin, certainly were. And, they'd happened to have seen the whole thing, from atop their rather tall horses, James being pleasantly surprised, that they'd actually found someone, since it was so rare for commoners with magic to show themselves, and that made his job so much easier. It was always annoying, when he was supposed to capture at least one such person, and he returned to his parents empty-handed, and they usually scolded him for it. The prince gestured for his cousin to go and retrieve her, mostly because he would not be fooled by his tricks, and James simply did not want to do it himself. The knight nodded, hopping off of his horse, James taking the reins to guide it along, as his cousin went through the crowd, with a couple of guards, to go and get her. They soon found her, rather quickly, as the knight had a sort of tracking magic, sending a small orb of light after a selected target, and it would find them, eventually. "Surrender, and you won't be harmed." He ordered.

Raz watched as a guard came into view, and then a few more, cornering her in the alley. She dipped her head, keeping her face shadowed and out of their view. She flinched at his command. Was he threatening her? She let out a small scoff. "And if I don't surrender?" She slowly stood. She assesed the situation. She wouldn't be able to use her magic again. She barely had enough strength to fool a non-magic person. Fooling a magic weilder? Impossible at this moment with her strength. Maybe she could... Go run the other way. Hide inside one of the buildings. She looked each guard over, making sure the hood of her cloak hid most of her face. She didn't need a wanted poster perfectly depicting her. She turned to face the guards. She wouldn't make it if she ran... She was already exhausted from the day, and they seemed to dare her to run. She took one step back, and then another, and then turned and ran.

The knight and guards watched her warily, james' cousin about to order her again, before she ran off. They did, of course, pursue her, shouting for her to stop, and things such as that. Meanwhile, the now-smaller group with James and the remaining guards had continued on, and for the most part, away from the crowd, though some still followed them, as they carried on. Really, though, James had vaguely spotted the woman run into an alley, and assumed that she'd run, as he was no fool. Before she could get too far, he decided he'd intercept her. So, he brought his horse, and the group, to a halt at the other side of the alley, and he soon casted a rather short wall of ice, he figured a taller one was not needed, at the end of the alley, to stop her dead in her tracks, as james hopped down from his horse, waiting patiently.

Radia thought she was doing pretty well. She even smiled. She was staying out of the grasp of the guards and the alleyway was clear. She put more speed on, hoping to make it out of the alley. Her smile died and her hope dissipated as she got closer. The entry darkened, people were in the way, and something white started to grow. She skittered to a stop, almost running into whatever now obstructed her path. She made to turn around, but she was in an alley, and she was trapped. She looked again at the wall in her way. She couldn't jump it, and she couldn't climb it. Upon closer inspection, she noticed it was ice. Tendrils of cold spiraled out and licked along her side. The cold was refreshing, but unwanted all the same. It only meant one thing, and Raz did not want to be in prison. She looked back at the guards who where upon her. She lowered her head in defeat and raised her hands. "Alright, alright! You got me."

James stepped closer to the ice wall, and with an almost dismissive gesture, it soon broke apart, to let him through. "Disguising magic, hm?" He said, shaking his head, a small smirk on his face. "Good move, with the ice wall, James." His cousin said with a quick chuckle, moving to restrain the woman, by simply holding her arms behind her back, and he was the one doing so, since it would be harder for her magic to affect him, and James certainly wouldn't do it. "Oh, and relax, you're not going to rot in a dungeon forever, or die, at least, not right now. We'll just have to see." James said, moving back, so they could get the girl out of the alley.

Raz glared at the man who spoke first. she let her captor hold pull her hands with little restraint, knowing that doing anything rash at that moment would get her nowhere good. She half turned her head to her captor when he spoke. Her eyes widened slightly at the name. So... this is the prince. She thought about spitting at him, but refrained. She did, however, return her gaze towards him. If her gaze could ever be colder than his power, she was sure it would be now. She scoffed at his last comment. It did nothing to help her relax as they pushed her out of the alleyway. She stumbled over her feet, purposefully, faking exhaustion-- well, faking some of it. Maybe, when she had a clear shot, the guard would fumble, release her, and she could run away.

At that moment, Raz remembered her apples. If she could reach into her bag... maybe she could throw and apple at the guard behind her and the prince in front of her, and then bolt. It seemed like a good idea. But her hands were restrained. She needed a distraction. "I won't rot in a dungeon? Why are you taking me then?"

James rather boredly watched her for a moment, his cousin barely stumbling or stopping when she did, and he was somewhat glad about that. One of the other guards got some rope, from one of the horse's saddlebags, moving to tie her hands, just in case, Jame's cousin still dragging her along, though. "I'm sure you've heard the stories, about what we royals do, when we see commoners with magic, yes? Rumors, perhaps? That we come, looking for your kind?" Jame said, as he got back into the saddle of his horse.

"Well, the rumors, that we come and take you, are true." He said, with a shrug. "We don't kill everyone, though.. Each person has a different fate, honestly. Death, marriage to a royal, a life of servitude, and so on."
