[div class=title]description[/div][div class=text] Basilio is well muscled but in a more lean sense. Not a shred of fat to be found on him (certainly not after some time aboard the ship) and is in decent physical condition overall. He does have a very distinguishable scar that begins at his navel and curves downward to his thigh, obviously from a very deep wound. He keeps the scar covered as much as possible and refuses to talk about it. His hair colour is a dark brown that lightens with prolonged sun exposure leading to lighter hair on top and darker below (can be manipulated to pretty effect, not that he has much time to preen amongst the pirates). Likes to keep his beard trimmed and tidy but as his hair tends to grow at lighting pace it can become wild very easily in times when a shave is not easy to come by. Has surprisingly callused and tough hands for a prince.[/div]

[div class=text]Basilio isn't a bad person, not really. Still, he was spoiled all his life while also having a great deal of power over other people and that naturally is reflected in his personality. In general he thinks himself more clever than he is and tends to look down on the 'peasants' around him. In his eyes the whole world is his plaything, puppets in his hands, and he is the great puppetmaster. As a result he is overconfident in everything he does and has great difficulty in seeing the errors of his ways. Convincing him that he has made a mistake, or worse, gotten himself into actual trouble that he can't easily get out of is extremely difficult. He gets into very dangerous situations very easily because he thinks nothing can ultimately harm him, a mighty prince, and keeping him alive all these years has been a constant battle for his attendants and bodyguards. While Basilio isn't really aware of it at this point, this all means he has a pretty fragile ego. Ultimately one could sum this up by saying he's quite naive and delusional, not stupid, just blissfully separated from reality.
While Basil thinks himself the great architect of fate, he isn't cruel or unkind to those around him. A little arrogant, yes. A bit condescending, yes. Fairly aggravating, definitely. But he does look out for those around him in his own way. He has been known, on occasion, to toss the hungry orphans that haunt the docks his catch of fish without any prompting. He also has a huge soft spot for horses or other animals... not that he'll EVER admit that he was cooing to them if you try to bring it up. While his attendants and bodyguards all swear he's not worth their trouble they are all fiercely loyal to him, and in turn Basilio is loyal to them. As he likes to say "The only person with the right to call my soldiers 'incompetent, moronic, buffoons' is me."
Perhaps the worst trait of his is that he has a temper. Not that he usually directs his fists at people who know him, but when irate (which happens often) he's well known for going down to the docks to find drunken individuals to pick a fight with. His bar brawls are somewhat legendary and a major point of strife between him and his family. If he's not in a situation where punching the other person is advisable he tends to bluster and yell... an adult tantrum by all accounts. The only bright side to this trait is that he's not the brooding type--if he's angry with you, he's angry and will hash it out then and there and then be done with it. He also doesn't tend to hold grudges over the vast majority of things and can be singing a bawdy song with the same man he just pummeled within that same night once all is said and done.
Straightforwardness is one of his more admirable traits. In spite of his naivete, Basilio is fairly observant about the situations around him and can call things out with a sort of childlike bluntness that can often be breathtaking... whether from horror or wonder.
He is also loyal, oft to a fault. If he trusts you and believes you to be on his side then he will happily dive into a nest of cobras for you if you ask him to. Partially because of his invincibility complex but also because if he trusts you then he believes you will always have his back and he in turn has yours.
Finally he is a helpless flirt. Being a prince it isn't exactly easy to refuse him, and while Basilio isn't vile enough to force a lady into anything... he does tend to inappropriately insert himself into flirtatious conversations with lovely ladies whether they seem receptive or not. This rarely goes beyond a few awful one-liners and bragging though, so perhaps there's some relief in that.[/div][/div][div class="scrollbox page03"][div class=title]relationships[/div]

[div class=title]biography[/div][div class=text]Basilio was born three years after his elder brother, Salvador. Sal was a sickly child, remarked upon by the physicians as being unlikely to survive to adulthood and, even if he did, likely never functioning well. As a result when Basilio was born, healthy and screaming, his parents were immediately predisposed to dote on him. As they had little hope of Salvador surviving well enough to be next in line for the throne, Basil was groomed throughout his youth for the purpose of taking the throne one day.
While Basil was not overly keen on having to take on so much responsibility and 'boring stuff,' his parents enticed him with visions of his own grandeur and might, completely annihilating any hope of him being a level-headed individual who was free from an overly inflated ego. Babied, coddled, and permitted to do whatever he desired the boy ran wild throughout the palace and beyond. Should he cause trouble it was his attendants who were blamed, and any time Basilio questioned whether he had made some mistake with his actions his parents (typically his mother but they were both guilty of doing this) would exclaim that nothing he did was wrong as the future king of their nation could never be wrong.
Unsurprisingly this meant that Basilio grew up spoiled and arrogant, needing only to bark out a word to have whatever he wanted handed to him. How he did not become a complete monster is a mystery, owing perhaps purely to his good-hearted attendants and dearest friend Tulio (a peasant boy from the docks, son of a fisherman) who happily tried putting him in his place and was willing to answer Basil's disagreeing fists with his own. Fortunately, as Basil was very fond of him, word of their scuffles and arguments never reached the King and Queen who would have undoubtedly removed Tulio from their precious boy's life for being disrespectful. Wisely his attendants saw the other boy as a good influence and kept their mouths shut as well.
During his early teenage years, however, a great change occurred. Salvador's health improved considerably, to the point that he was even able to learn to ride a horse at last and wield a sword (though poorly). Fickle in their attention, his delighted parents now turned all their energy towards their eldest son whom they had previously more-or-less ignored, doting on him and attempting to rectify years of neglect by having him tutored by the greatest minds in the kingdom. Feeling neglected and abandoned, Basilio began spending more time at the docks and discovered a love for drinking and bars at far too tender an age. Being a good friend, Tulio saw his friend heading down a destructive path and tried heading him in a more productive direction: fishing. To the shock of everyone, Basilio fell in love with the activity and could soon be found reliably sitting upon the worn planks beside Tulio, rod in the water and fish filling up the dented metal pail beside him. He still frequented bars and enjoyed his share of rum, but this was balanced more healthily with his other love; fishing.
Not one to bear grudges, Basilio managed to find peace with Salvador's recovery and even be happy for his brother. While his parents never doted on him again the way they once had, Basil took advantage of their inattention to continue doing whatever he pleased... though as his stunts became more elaborate and dangerous it was fairly obvious to everyone but the king and queen that this was all a bid for their attention. Basilio attempted to involve himself more in the courts, believing the experience would be good for him in the future as king, but having become accustomed to the gruff but straightforward manners of the common folk he discovered a hatred for the evasive politics of court. This did not dissuade him from his destiny of being king someday, but it did put a bit of a damper on his excitement.
Then it happened. Without so much as letting him know privately, the king and queen publicly announced that Salvador would be the next king.
For several days Basilio could not be prevailed upon to speak. In his mind he had now truly been abandoned by his family, and even though Salvador attempted to convince him that he had had nothing to do with this decision, Basil would not listen. At last, in the dead of night, he packed a bag, snuck out of the palace, and found his way to the docks--the only place he had ever found any solace. A plan had been hatched; allow the pirates that plagued their shores to kidnap him and hold him for ransom. Perhaps then his parents would finally show they cared about their son, and Basil would be rewarded for surviving his ordeal with his rightful inheritance of the throne--promised to him from when he was a little boy.[/div]
