“If the first princess was the heart of the nation, the second prince the brains, the second princess the eyes, and the third princess the shadow... he would be the hands that held up the burning sky.”

His skin has tanned considerably by the time he has reached his thirties. Pale skin was considered a beauty standard within the nation of Solkarath, pale skin his siblings wielded. What was once ivory had now goldened into an oak. And just like the oak, Coriolanus stands tall. Strong. His feet stable upon the ground and he does not falter. His eyes are like those of a dragon’s, burning with the familiar simmering heat of the Aurelthane flame.
Clothing Style: Light, airy, he adorns himself in a manner that is both modest and simple. A simple gold necklace, ring, and even earrings are all he needs as he bears the embroidered emblem of the Aurelthane house amongst the white cloak that adorns his broad shoulders. Varrakai is a constant fire, where skin cracks with the dryness of the air and the tongue scrapes across the roof of your mouth like sandpaper. Coriolanus revolves his wardrobe around his life in Varrakai. His clothing consists of linen and cotton in shades of brimstone and fire.

Having the ability to wield his soulbrand magick, the runes that are etched into his skin and bones are carved into his back—over the flattened curve of his scapula and along the soles of his feet. But he hides his runes and the scars with his clothing and shoes. More often than not, choosing to bathed simply in a thin robe rather than going fully nude.
In fact, Coriolanus has many scars littered over his body. His fingers are crooked. Having been broken in places where he failed to allow them to mend properly.

Coriolanus Aurelthane. Heir to the house of Eternal Flame. His birth marked by the eclipse—A looming darkness swallowing the sun just for a breath before the birth of the boy brought the light back to the kingdom.
At least… that’s the story they tell the subjects. Yes, it’s true that Coriolanus was born within the month of Thalos in 1460. Yes, there was an eclipse which marked the birth of Coriolanus, but to the eldest Aurelthane… That was all simply fluffing. To make himself appear larger than life. Larger than even the very sun the Solkarathi worshipped. Upon his birth, Coriolanus was destined for greatness. After all, no average individual was blessed to be of noble birth… much less the blessing of a royal lineage.
*"Golden child, Lion boy; Tell me what it’s like to conquer. Fearless child, Broken boy; Tell me what it’s like to burn."*
