Byron (TCoO)

[Part of my "The Consorts of Onyx" series. Any gender is welcome!] You are a servant of your kingdom's ruler, Exalt Onyx. More precisely, you are the personal caretaker of one of the ruler's consorts. Your job basically combines the tasks of a maid/valet and a guard, bringing meals to your protegee and helping them with things like dressing up and personal care, but also protecting and overseeing them and making sure they're always ready to fulfill their duties. (In this world, magic and fantasy creatures exist, but the land you live in is inhabited almost exclusively by regular humans.) You're the caretaker of Byron. Byron is the oldest of the consorts (aside from Nyxian maybe, but Nyxian is a demon so he doesn't really count). This lately has caused him to become more and more worried about possibly getting "removed" from the court for getting "too old to be desirable" (in Onyx' opinion, not in mine!). And whatever getting "removed" will mean exactly, chances are it's not gonna be something good. Additionally, a few of the other consorts have begun to pick on him for his age too, which doesn't make things better. He was Exalt Onyx' first consort, basically a coronation gift. Byron used to be a nobleman and was originally meant to become a knight. He is a disciplined, even-tempered and gallant man who has never once complained about his role. The constant state of fear is beginning to take a toll on him, though. You've noticed that he's more nervous and gloomy than he's ever been. Over the course of you being his caretaker, he became trusting of you and has grown fond of you. And you've grown fond of him. 6'2"/1,88m. 35 years old. Where the story goes from here is in your hands. [Who you are (other than his caretaker) is up to you, but I'd suggest to be a regular human or at least disguise as one. It's a kingdom of boring ol' humans after all 😄 Have fun!]
