new RP character for

i thought i wasnt gonna make it... since i got so frustrated with the character design >:V a few days ago, i was all "GAH, I GIVE UP!!!" and was about to quit but then this character came to me and told me that i had to try designing him one more time... because he has a story to tell, and so i tried again and came up with this, which he seems to be pleased with. but its because he did this that i think i have one hell of a strong character on my hands here... a lesser character wouldnt have been able to prevent me from throwing my hands up in surrender and moving on. i havent felt this level of character power since Toto 8V this character has forced himself into existence, whether i like it or not, and is here to stay. this character was more determined to get into the RP group than i was lol!!! xD i think he is also patient and good at dealing with people, considering how me managed to get me to design him and all this other stuff. totally different speaking voice to me than demanding little Toto >.<;;

anyways, on to the important STUFF:

Name: Pablo Anhillo

Age: 16

Gender: male

Height/Weight: 168cm/58kg

Race: human

Magic: none

Current Location: Keyx in the Xanthe Islands

Country: Xanthe Islands

Region: Keyx

Alliance: N/A

Job Type: warlord

Profession: Xanthe Warlord of Keyx

Personality: Pablo is a boy who believes he has a lot to prove and is very enthusiastic and outspoken. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, though can become easily hurt and overly thoughtful when receiving harsh words and criticisms from others. Naive and sensitive to how others view him, he will overthink how others treat him and worry about if they like him or not. But despite this, he will still speak his mind as he believes that when there is something important to say, it should be said, and he hopes that others will see that what he says is not meant in a hurtful or harmful way. Still, people frequently misinterpret his intentions as he can be rather impersonal with others, not being able to empathize well with the lives that have had to endure more difficulties than his own ((but he will try... just so people will like him, though this dishonesty often leads to guilt and pain within him because he doesn't want to be a fake. People hate fakes)).

Filled with determination, Pablo is very goal-oriented and always will push forward as hard as he possibly can. When it comes to issues of the moral type, Pablo will be hesitant, but choose the path that best leads to the goal, even if the choice is seen as "immoral" to others and could give him a negative reputation. Overall, reputation and dealing with people generally confuses him no matter how much he tries to learn. He will make choices on morality issues that are opposite of his own opinion because it's what's best for his tribe's progress. These choices are never easy, though, as he is prone to overthinking every choice and every outcome, though he has a tendency to choose the wrong one because it's hard for him to be true to himself and his own beliefs. The most valuable lesson he still needs to learn is who he really is as a person and not as a warlord.

Pablo has a wishy-washy loyalty record, though he will pride himself in his loyalties as he doesn't see his mistakes as being a betrayal to anyone and that there's always legitimate reasons for why he had to make the decisions he made once people find out about them. Mostly, though, he will try and keep anything that could be seen as a "betrayal" under wraps in an attempt to protect his reputation. So far, he hasn't done anything major, but this could easily change once he is in a true position of power as a warlord where everything is on a bigger scale than actions in his personal life.

When it comes to fighting and warfare, Pablo sees skills in fighting as a tool and not as something good or evil. It's not done as a sport or for fun but as something to be used to settle disputes quickly and easily than what words can do, though he will try to negotiate for the sake of preserving a positive reputation ((which he ends up not having as other leaders, as well as his own people, often see him as a weakling)). Despite his preference for negotiation for his appearance on the public platform, he encourages every member of his tribe, of all ages, to regularly practice their battle techniques and specialize in a specific weapon while having experience in a little bit of everything. A spy who had made his way into Keyx would likely believe Pablo was planning to head into war with another tribe if they were able to see all the training going on. Pablo would then be seen as two-faced for negotiating peace but practicing techniques meant for war.

Pablo is secretly interested in science and magic because he believes it would really help with the preservation of his tribe as a powerful force on the world scene. He doesn't believe the rest of the world takes Keyx's power seriously enough as he always feels as if they are laughing at him ((even though they don't respect him for other, more obvious reasons... this isn't obvious to Pablo as he overthought their impressions of him)). But he knows magic is a sensitive subject and wants to secretly have trained mages as part of his army if they are ever needed. If his programs are secret, they can't hurt his reputation, right? lol

After becoming an heir to the title of warlord, Pablo has grown a slightly artificial view of his family as he thinks he deeply believes he loves them, but this is another result of him being untrue to himself in favor of reputation. He will often seem to be an adoring older brother to his 7 year old sister, Socompa, but she actually wears him down and his inner self sees her as a bit of a distraction from his goals. Before he knew anything about being a warlord or a leader, his love for his family was genuine but he has not immune to being corrupted by power. Despite being careful and caring towards his mother, his mother is very worried about the kind of person he's becoming and doesn't want him to end up like his uncle Daska at such a young age.

Overall, Pablo is a well-meaning boy who is fighting off inner demons that are eating him from the inside out as he gradually becomes more and more untrue to himself. Even though he is in the position of a leader, his personality was not meant to be one as he walks the path of a someday-dictator of a bloody regime.

Pablo will often head into the mountains to seek out an ancient Anhillo family monument called the Yayaar. It's an obelisk with a hole cut into it about halfway up and is located on a rocky hilltop surrounded by much taller mountains. On the morning of the winter solstice, the sun will shine through the center hole and point the way to an ancient ceremonial circle in the valley below. Anhillo family lore says that standing in this sacred circle while the sun shines through the hole of the Yayaar will enlighten the mislead and give them the ability to find their destined correct path. Even when the sun doesn't shine through the hole of the Yayaar, Pablo finds the place to be spiritually healing and allow for him to thoroughly think through his problems in a quiet location that only Anhillo family members know about. The symbol on his clothing is his family emblem, which is the sun shining through the hole of the Yayaar. It is typically seen on the color blue but will sometimes be seen on the color red, which is a reference to an old Anhillo family legend about the Red Sky Morning, a story that is only told to the warlord heirs of the family.

History: Pablo is the firstborn son of Chimborazo ((father)) and Antisana ((mother)) Anhillo in the region of Keyx in the Xanthe Islands during the reign of Daska Anhillo, the older twin brother of Chimborazo, on the first day of winter. Because his day of birth is the same of a sacred Anhillo family holiday, it was believed he would bring happiness and prosperity to his family and to his people and so be became the beloved and precious child of the land of Keyx. He was often spoiled as a youngster but was kind enough to always give back to his community, sharing his food with even the lowest of ranked members in his tribe. A loving yet calm boy who never had tantrums and always did his part, many citizens of Keyx believed he would be a noble companion to the tribe's heir, Daska's son, Esteban, who was five years older than Pablo. Esteban was a quiet yet caring boy who always looked out for Pablo and the pair of cousins had many adventures together as children. Esteban, the quiet one, and Pablo, the friendly talker. They were both very popular with the Anhillo family's servants and slaves.

But Pablo grew up in drastically changing times and there was often more going on than what a child could ever keep up with and politics never made any sense to him. As a boy, he was generally very well-sheltered from the violence and darkness that ruled the world, including the atrocities his uncle Daska committed during the War of Enlightenment. To Pablo, his uncle was nothing besides a kind, loving person who always was teaching him and Esteban new knowledge and skills that would inevitably help them someday. Pablo knew little to nothing about the war as most of the fighting took place closer to the region's borders and in other lands he had never visited. He stayed in a quiet village with his family while his father, uncle and many of the other men vanished from his life for extended periods of time.

While the men were away, Esteban slowly began to lose his ability to speak and Pablo often did all the speaking for him, learning all the subtleties in Esteban's body language and hand movements to communicate it to others. But as time went on, Esteban also began to have less and less energy each day, becoming sick and incapable of eating, until one morning when he didn't wake up from his sleep. Pablo was grief-stricken as his favorite playmate and cousin disappeared from his life forever. He was as attached as anyone could ever be to another person as he had spent all of his time with Esteban, only for Esteban to completely disappear forever. For many days, Pablo didn't eat or speak to anyone, sometimes disappearing into the mountains for long periods of time in order to be alone and self-isolating. He wasn't home the day Daska returned home to be greeted by the sad news that his only son had passed on. Immediately, Daska went in search of Pablo, finding Pablo sitting in the center of the Yayaar's ceremonial circle on the morning of winter solstice. Daska walked to him and told him that Esteban's death was a sign... and that for the warlord of Keyx to find him in the circle of the Yayaar on the first morning of winter was yet another sign... that he was destined to be the next generation's heir of Keyx. Pablo didn't want to believe it at first, but he swallowed and nodded, agreeing to the task his beloved uncle had given him, that someday... he would become the next warlord of Keyx. It was then that his path and personality would become clouded.

In the final battle of the war, Pablo's father, Chimborazo, lost his life with little explanations given to the people of Keyx, though Daska explained Chimborazo's death as being glorious and honorable, and it was because of Chimborazo that Keyx would be able to live on as its own separate tribe. However, not everyone believed this story to be true, suspecting that Daska had some kind of hand in the death of his own brother, but Daska denied all such claims with Pablo eagerly defending him. It was then that the people of Keyx began to wonder if the wonderful little Anhillo boy would remain the lovable child he was or follow in Daska's footsteps once he became the tribe's leader.

The time for Pablo to take his place as a ruler came prematurely when Daska suddenly vanished from the region without a trace. Some believed that a foreign spy had snuck into Keyx to assassinate him and dispose of the body in some concealed location, or that Daska had been captured and sold into slavery in another land. There was much outrage among the people of Keyx, threatening their neighbors in Vesna before beginning to point fingers at any and all nations in the world that they could think of, saying that they had no business harming their leader when the war had long-since been over. There was a brief era of anarchy in Keyx as some factions of the tribe were against the idea of someone as young as Pablo taking over and ruling over them, as the Anhillo family had a few enemies within the tribe as a result of Daska's atrocities, while the conservative traditionalists were eager to bring Pablo into power. In the end, the conservatives won and Pablo was inducted into the position of warlord only a few weeks after his sixteenth birthday. He was scared of being given such a huge responsibility, but he bravely accepted, knowing that this was the fate he had been waiting for ever since Esteban's death, whether he truly wanted it or not.

In the weeks during Keyx's state of anarchy, Pablo learned of many horrible things that his uncle had done before, during and after the war to their enemies and their own people alike. He didn't believe any of these stories, though, since Daska had always been a kind and polite person to him, so he fervently defended his uncle at all costs and when he took the position of Keyx's ruler, he swore that he would rule honorably and reverse the negative reputation that Daska had brought onto the Anhillo family and the people of Keyx alike. He wasn't sure how he would do this, but he naively decided it would be his primary objective, even as other high ranking members of Keyx rolled their eyes in the face of his declaration.

And the RP's story for him begins with his first day of being warlord 8V

Additional Information:
-Pablo LOVES scarfs, and has a weakness for anything made of soft materials.
-He is very good at math and when he was thirteen, created a new type of calendar for Keyx starting with the winter solstice of his birth and is based on cycles that last 52 years on the calendar of the rest of the world for ceremonial purposes. The people of Keyx did not use a formal calendar before Pablo's calendar was created.
-He wears a pair of goggles that his uncle Daska gave him as a souvenir of a far-off land. Daska told him that they once belonged to a scientist/user of magic and was a trophy to show that despite being a primitive tribe in terms of technology, they could defeat even the most powerful of mages ((though if you want to believe his story or not is totally up to you)). Regardless of if the story is true or not, Pablo wears them as a symbol of his desire to pursue science, mathematics and magic for the power of his tribe. But to everyone else, they see it in the way Daska intended it to be seen as: a trophy of Keyx victory over evil.
-He is a bit of a workaholic and will often need to be told to stop working on his random little projects or he will work until he drops. What kinds of projects does he have? He is deeply involved with learning defensive strategies for the Keyx region in the case of an attack and has a massive interest in cartography and topography. In such a rugged landscape as in Keyx, knowing the terrain can make the difference between victory and defeat. While the people of Keyx have always been knowledgeable of their terrain, Pablo intends on taking it to the next level of understanding by analyzing everything from the current of even the tiniest of streams to the seasonal migrations of specific animal species to categorizing the wood of every type of tree in the region to various levels of usefulness. While science and magic are seen as evil things, Pablo is doing basic science, but calls it a different term to make it more acceptable: "nature mysticism", giving it a more spiritual meaning rather than a scientific one ((though there are those who see through this... particularly those who do not support the Anhillos as a ruling family)).
-Pablo's biggest fear is of receiving physical pain. It is because of this that he is a very cautious strategist and a leader as he is afraid for his people to feel physical pain and for it to be all his fault. He prefers guerrilla tactics because he believes it gives his people the best chance to do damage without receiving any themselves.
-Pablo is secretly paranoid. He tries to trust people but always overthinks every relationship to the point of thinking they have false motives. This was a very mild paranoia before becoming warlord but it escalated quickly once he was inaugurated and realized that he really had become the warlord of an entire tribe.
-His eyes are red when most Anhillos have dark brown eyes.
-~Kultasuu 's character, Ohla, is going to be his slave and it'll be added to the story once Pablo is approved for the group. We be epic RP collaborators
-Current "theme music" is Swimming in the Flood by Passion Pit [link]
-Pablo is right-handed. In battle, when he splits his weapon in two, the blade in his right hand will always have more power and accuracy than the left ((he is trying to work on making his left as useful, but it's a hard thing to train for to be a dual swordsman)).
-MORE WHEN I THINK OF IT. because im sure im forgetting something *looks at clock. it is 2am OTL*

Pablo's Political Policies for Keyx
-Pablo is very concerned about keeping his borders closed and tightly guarded as he lacks trust with his neighbors, knowing the reputation that Daska's reign had laid down for Keyx. He wants to trust foreign leaders, but is a little too paranoid to be going in with completely open arms of friendship. However, in public, he claims the heavy defenses is more about protecting his people from the monster which have emerged from the Fade to avoid an image of aggression towards other nations.
-There are no longer public executions under Pablo's reign, but this does not mean executions still don't go on behind the scenes in the many hidden corners of the vast and rugged Keyx landscape. This law was mainly enacted for the sake of keeping human mages alive long enough to gather valuable information on magic and science before sending them to their deaths. The public wants to see them die while Pablo wants to gain their knowledge and this was the only way to satisfy both needs. The body of human mages will be shown to the public at some point after the execution as proof that Pablo is keeping true to their desires. When possible, deaths will be faked for the sake of keeping the mage alive for the sake of observational scientific study.
-Slaves are completely legal to own within Keyx society and treatment of these slaves are up to the owner of the slave. Pablo doesn't actually support harsh treatment of slaves but feels as if he has to allow it as slaves are property no more alive than a table or a rug and for consistency's sake, he has to allow poor treatment of slaves. Consistency and reputation is most important.
-The same as under Daska's rule, Chimeras are seen as monsters of the Fade and are not welcome in Keyx. As a slightly superstitious and paranoid person, Pablo shares this belief, having no reason to believe otherwise about the chimeras. As of now, he has no interest in chimeras.
-As a tribal nation, there is no monetary system and everything is done through the trading of goods. There is no public infrastructure in the region as traveling the land was meant to be as difficult as possible for possible invading armies to favor the Keyx people. Because of this, there is no tax system in place, though people residing in various parts of Keyx are asked to provide food, shelter and medical help to Keyx warriors who need rest in times of war. The Keyx landscape is unforgiving with few places to grow food and raise animals and the Anhillos came into power by being the ruling family of the largest and most fruitful region of Keyx. It was because of this that they became the "wealthiest" family in the region and was able to rally an army and political support to begin with. The village is located in a small valley surrounded by the highest of Keyx peaks in an ancient volcanic ash flow that provides the valley with valuable fertile soil.
-Pablo very fervently promotes the training of using and handling weapons from as young an age as possible. Children should learn to handle and respect blades before they can walk and training should happen every day after morning worship. Education is almost completely dedicated to the arts of war and all people are required to be proficient in at least two different types of weapons. Pablo also wishes for the nation of Keyx to develop a type of martial arts for when weapons aren't readily available and would like to adapt the use of trained animals in battle.
-Some children will receive education in simple mathematics, but only a select few as knowledge in math and science is extremely limited and there are few teachers. Children of higher ranking tribal members will get education in battle strategy, politics and philosophy. Commoner children would ((other than battle)) focus on geography, nature mysticism and farming.

---------------------
and some creator footnotes!! 8D
-ive never had an RP character who was in charge of stuff before, so i think itd be TOTALLY COOL to try RPing a leader of a region. i went with Xanthe because i suck at character design for humans for anything that isnt tribal-y LOL. that and they seemed to be the most "freeform" nations to work with on a creative level while the other countries were more structured, so Xanthe seemed best for me regardless. i chose the Keyx region because *looks outside window* LOL IT SOUNDS LIKE MY BACKYARD. i live in an IRL Keyx.
-if Pablo doesnt get the warlord position in Keyx, then id like him to be of a high ranked family and ill collab something with whoever does get the warlord position. his story just reallyyyyyy works best when he is in a high ranked position.
-i hate boring weapons like swords and bows/arrows, so he has... uhhh... whatever that blade thingy is and a primitive sling so that he can knock you out with rocks! ^__^
-thanks to ~midorishina for helping with the final design touch ups and making it less of an eyesore to look at.
-i love this character so much |D i hope everyone else likes him, too!!
-HE LOOKS LIKE SUCH A TALES CHARACTER LOL MY UNORIGINAL STYLE *sucks at drawing humans*

oh and if he DOES manage to get accepted as a warlord, and someone wants an Anhillo character for the RP ((theres probably more descendants than Pablo's immediate family)), contact me |D it should totally happen.

EDIT: HE GOT THE POSITION YAY!!!! 8D Keyx RPers should totally contact me for some story stuff >D

In the weeks during Keyx's state of anarchy, Pablo learned of many horrible things that his uncle had done before, during and after the war to their enemies and their own people alike. He didn't believe any of these stories, though, since Daska had always been a kind and polite person to him, so he fervently defended his uncle at all costs and when he took the position of Keyx's ruler, he swore that he would rule honorably and reverse the negative reputation that Daska had brought onto the Anhillo family and the people of Keyx alike. He wasn't sure how he would do this, but he naively decided it would be his primary objective, even as other high ranking members of Keyx rolled their eyes in the face of his declaration.

And the RP's story for him begins with his first day of being warlord 8V

Additional Information:
-Pablo LOVES scarfs, and has a weakness for anything made of soft materials.
-He is very good at math and when he was thirteen, created a new type of calendar for Keyx starting with the winter solstice of his birth and is based on cycles that last 52 years on the calendar of the rest of the world for ceremonial purposes. The people of Keyx did not use a formal calendar before Pablo's calendar was created.
-He wears a pair of goggles that his uncle Daska gave him as a souvenir of a far-off land. Daska told him that they once belonged to a scientist/user of magic and was a trophy to show that despite being a primitive tribe in terms of technology, they could defeat even the most powerful of mages ((though if you want to believe his story or not is totally up to you)). Regardless of if the story is true or not, Pablo wears them as a symbol of his desire to pursue science, mathematics and magic for the power of his tribe. But to everyone else, they see it in the way Daska intended it to be seen as: a trophy of Keyx victory over evil.
-He is a bit of a workaholic and will often need to be told to stop working on his random little projects or he will work until he drops. What kinds of projects does he have? He is deeply involved with learning defensive strategies for the Keyx region in the case of an attack and has a massive interest in cartography and topography. In such a rugged landscape as in Keyx, knowing the terrain can make the difference between victory and defeat. While the people of Keyx have always been knowledgeable of their terrain, Pablo intends on taking it to the next level of understanding by analyzing everything from the current of even the tiniest of streams to the seasonal migrations of specific animal species to categorizing the wood of every type of tree in the region to various levels of usefulness. While science and magic are seen as evil things, Pablo is doing basic science, but calls it a different term to make it more acceptable: "nature mysticism", giving it a more spiritual meaning rather than a scientific one ((though there are those who see through this... particularly those who do not support the Anhillos as a ruling family)).
-Pablo's biggest fear is of receiving physical pain. It is because of this that he is a very cautious strategist and a leader as he is afraid for his people to feel physical pain and for it to be all his fault. He prefers guerrilla tactics because he believes it gives his people the best chance to do damage without receiving any themselves.
-Pablo is secretly paranoid. He tries to trust people but always overthinks every relationship to the point of thinking they have false motives. This was a very mild paranoia before becoming warlord but it escalated quickly once he was inaugurated and realized that he really had become the warlord of an entire tribe.
-His eyes are red when most Anhillos have dark brown eyes.
-~Kultasuu 's character, Ohla, is going to be his slave and it'll be added to the story once Pablo is approved for the group. We be epic RP collaborators
-Current "theme music" is Swimming in the Flood by Passion Pit [link]
-Pablo is right-handed. In battle, when he splits his weapon in two, the blade in his right hand will always have more power and accuracy than the left ((he is trying to work on making his left as useful, but it's a hard thing to train for to be a dual swordsman)).
-MORE WHEN I THINK OF IT. because im sure im forgetting something *looks at clock. it is 2am OTL*

Pablo's Political Policies for Keyx
-Pablo is very concerned about keeping his borders closed and tightly guarded as he lacks trust with his neighbors, knowing the reputation that Daska's reign had laid down for Keyx. He wants to trust foreign leaders, but is a little too paranoid to be going in with completely open arms of friendship. However, in public, he claims the heavy defenses is more about protecting his people from the monster which have emerged from the Fade to avoid an image of aggression towards other nations.
-There are no longer public executions under Pablo's reign, but this does not mean executions still don't go on behind the scenes in the many hidden corners of the vast and rugged Keyx landscape. This law was mainly enacted for the sake of keeping human mages alive long enough to gather valuable information on magic and science before sending them to their deaths. The public wants to see them die while Pablo wants to gain their knowledge and this was the only way to satisfy both needs. The body of human mages will be shown to the public at some point after the execution as proof that Pablo is keeping true to their desires. When possible, deaths will be faked for the sake of keeping the mage alive for the sake of observational scientific study.
-Slaves are completely legal to own within Keyx society and treatment of these slaves are up to the owner of the slave. Pablo doesn't actually support harsh treatment of slaves but feels as if he has to allow it as slaves are property no more alive than a table or a rug and for consistency's sake, he has to allow poor treatment of slaves. Consistency and reputation is most important.
-The same as under Daska's rule, Chimeras are seen as monsters of the Fade and are not welcome in Keyx. As a slightly superstitious and paranoid person, Pablo shares this belief, having no reason to believe otherwise about the chimeras. As of now, he has no interest in chimeras.
-As a tribal nation, there is no monetary system and everything is done through the trading of goods. There is no public infrastructure in the region as traveling the land was meant to be as difficult as possible for possible invading armies to favor the Keyx people. Because of this, there is no tax system in place, though people residing in various parts of Keyx are asked to provide food, shelter and medical help to Keyx warriors who need rest in times of war. The Keyx landscape is unforgiving with few places to grow food and raise animals and the Anhillos came into power by being the ruling family of the largest and most fruitful region of Keyx. It was because of this that they became the "wealthiest" family in the region and was able to rally an army and political support to begin with. The village is located in a small valley surrounded by the highest of Keyx peaks in an ancient volcanic ash flow that provides the valley with valuable fertile soil.
-Pablo very fervently promotes the training of using and handling weapons from as young an age as possible. Children should learn to handle and respect blades before they can walk and training should happen every day after morning worship. Education is almost completely dedicated to the arts of war and all people are required to be proficient in at least two different types of weapons. Pablo also wishes for the nation of Keyx to develop a type of martial arts for when weapons aren't readily available and would like to adapt the use of trained animals in battle.
-Some children will receive education in simple mathematics, but only a select few as knowledge in math and science is extremely limited and there are few teachers. Children of higher ranking tribal members will get education in battle strategy, politics and philosophy. Commoner children would ((other than battle)) focus on geography, nature mysticism and farming.

and some creator footnotes!! 8D
-ive never had an RP character who was in charge of stuff before, so i think itd be TOTALLY COOL to try RPing a leader of a region. i went with Xanthe because i suck at character design for humans for anything that isnt tribal-y LOL. that and they seemed to be the most "freeform" nations to work with on a creative level while the other countries were more structured, so Xanthe seemed best for me regardless. i chose the Keyx region because *looks outside window* LOL IT SOUNDS LIKE MY BACKYARD. i live in an IRL Keyx.
-if Pablo doesnt get the warlord position in Keyx, then id like him to be of a high ranked family and ill collab something with whoever does get the warlord position. his story just reallyyyyyy works best when he is in a high ranked position.
-i hate boring weapons like swords and bows/arrows, so he has... uhhh... whatever that blade thingy is and a primitive sling so that he can knock you out with rocks! ^__^
-thanks to ~midorishina for helping with the final design touch ups and making it less of an eyesore to look at.
-i love this character so much |D i hope everyone else likes him, too!!
-HE LOOKS LIKE SUCH A TALES CHARACTER LOL MY UNORIGINAL STYLE *sucks at drawing humans*

oh and if he DOES manage to get accepted as a warlord, and someone wants an Anhillo character for the RP ((theres probably more descendants than Pablo's immediate family)), contact me |D it should totally happen.

EDIT: HE GOT THE POSITION YAY!!!! 8D Keyx RPers should totally contact me for some story stuff >D
