Name: Travis Royale Alias/Nickname: Age: 18 Gender: Male Race: Human Nationality: Part Amestrsian, part Ishballan, part Createn, and part Xingian, yet born (of all places) Drachma Height: Six Foot Weight: 172 lbs Eye color: Red Hair color: Black but a few strands of white Hair Style: Short to medium length hair depending when he gets a haircut. He always has bangs and will usually have a very small ponytail growing. Clothing: Travis will usually wear a leather coat (if it’s cold enough or he feels like ‘dressing up’), brown slip-on shoes, blue jeans and a different T-shirt underneath. Usually he wears a black one with a white insignia on the right sleeve. Appearance: Travis is not exactly well-built but he isn’t fat or obese. Easy to say he does have a small gut. Tall and with a kind of face, Travis has what his friends have called ‘Royale Fingers’. If Travis wasn’t an alchemist, he would have probably been a piano player (if he even liked the piano). With somewhat long fingers and size 13 feet, Travis definitely is ‘unique’. Personality: Travis is a laid back kind of person, that wouldn’t mind doing nothing except read, travel, and listen to the radio. He doesn’t exactly like abrupt changes (unless he’s the one doing it or has decent control over the situation). In truth, he’d prefer if nothing changed and he could be left to his own devices without major responsibilities. He probably has one of the worst and pickiest diets known to mankind. Yet while this may seem like bad faults of Travis (and most of them are), Travis is a smart fellow. He is criticized for his rather ‘limited’ intelligence but actually likes thinking outside of the box. If intrigued or properly motivated, he’ll go to many lengths to achieve something. Sometimes however he can get easily distracted and may even have someone repeat themselves. To most people in fact, Travis can be either a wall-flower or clown. Depending on his mood, he may feel like he should be left alone to try and figure things out. Other times (if things are way too quiet) he may try and liven up the place, no matter what the crowd. Likes: Girls, some psychology, specific foods, radio, sleeping, books and some alchemy Dislikes: Abrupt changes, narcolepsy, people repeating themselves constantly, having to state the obvious unless its jokingly or sarcastic. Skills: Travis’s family has been ‘hand-picked’ and because of this he has learned the basics of Amestrisian Alchemy, Ishballan Alchemy, and Rendanshu (Xing Alchemy). However unlike his other family members (who are mostly experts), he knows only a few transmutation/purification circles. Also he has rather crude sword fighting ability (an odd mix of some fencing and very crude sword skills he’s seen). Also he happens to be a rather poor street brawler having almost no fighting style. However he can handle a gun rather well (if he can take care of it). Weapons: Besides his mind and alchemic abilities, Travis can make either a rapier or katana. If that’s enough, he does have a shotgun and revolver in his apartment. Transportation: Walking or driving is usually his preference (in Central). Otherwise he’ll take a train of hitchhike if he needs to. Family: Waylon Royale (Grandfather): Alive Trissotin Vadius (Grandfather): Dead Isabella Vadius (Grandmother): Alive Lianalee Royale (Grandmother): Alive Allen Royale (Father): Alive Amelie Royale (Mother): Alive Anzu Royale (Sister): Alive History: During the days in which King Bradley ruled, Drachma was a definite enemy of Amestris. Knowing full-well that if they attacked the enemies, would be crushed by the state alchemists. While strength in the army was important, they decided to take a different approach. Creating powerful families and then telling them to fight for their army. So the heads of Drachma decided to create three different projects for this. While one was devoted to creating a powerful chimera or an unstoppable yet controllable homunculus, a slower more delicate project. The project would come in two parts. A single person would try and learn multiple forms of alchemy and teach anyone who came under them. Yet trying to teach someone that knew only one type of alchemy other variants would be difficult; hence why the second part was created. They would create an alchemist(s) that had the blood of an Amestrian, Xingian, Creatan, and Ishballan. Of course trying to find such people that would cooperate would be difficult, unless properly worded and handled well. Agents went to Amestris, Xing, Creta and the slowly rebuilding economy of Ishbal to try and find sutable candidates. After two months all teams reported their discoveries. Isabella (A heretic from Ishbal),Trissotin Vadius (A mysterious miracle worker of Creta), Waylon Royale (an ex-State Alchemist whose father could perform alchemy without circles) and Linalee-Kun (one of the many children of the Emperor of Xing). The Drachma Army used alluring words to bring all four to Drachma. Staging both men near one of the women, the government controlled their actions allowing Isabella to meet Trissotin, and Waylon to met Lianlee. While there was some trouble at first, both couples married (without even knowing they had been controlled and their marriages had been predestined). Both couples soon had children and soon the Drachma government made two of their off-spring meet and become friends. Allen Royale was one of the many children Waylon and Lianlee had and after encouragement from ‘friends’ he started dating Amelie Vadius. Both practiced their parents alchemy and after a few years, they married and had a daughter. After a year or so, they had another child and Anzu Royale was given a baby brother, Travis. The Royale Family (as it was now known throughout Drachma) was definitely a prestigious family. Rich and well skilled (and for some members of the family, slightly arrogant), many compared it to the Armstrong Family of Amestris. The Drachma government was definitely impressed by the results of their alchemy program. Of course the first noticeable problem and flaw of one of the ‘subjects’ was Travis. At completely random points, even if he was standing, running or in the middle of talking, he would without warning fall asleep. Diagnosed with the rare sleep disorder narcolepsy, Travis tried to continue with a normal life. Because of the wealth from the grandparents and the steady jobs of his parents, Travis had a very good life. While pampered he eventually learned about the world as it was (even though his parents didn’t want to show it to him so quickly). Travis made many friends and while his sister was coached by all members of the family about alchemy, Travis kicked back and relaxed. That is until he was 14. The family finally decided to try and actually teach Travis how to use alchemy (which he at first wasn’t too enthusiastic about). He started learning the basics while his sister went off to college. It was normal enough until her government scholarships ended. The fact was, the project was finally abandoned when Bradley died. The family had to delve into their wallets and help. Travis watched and soon realized that he couldn’t be able to go to college at the rate his sister was eating up the money (which wasn’t just for education). So Travis requested he take a year off before figuring out his future. Asking only for a place in Amestris and rent money, the family agreed. While it seemed random of all things why Travis would want to go to Amestris, there was a hidden reason. Out of all his family members, Waylon Royale was probably Travis’s favorite closest relative. Waylon wouldn’t however just teach his grandson alchemy from Amestris however. He taught him history, art, acting; just about anything Travis was interested in. Travis had heard of many powerful alchemists. Of course he was curious but the Royale family asked Travis to find one thing. Many had said that the people closest to the secrets of immortality and ultimate power were Amestris. If Travis found any hints or rumors relating to those things (or unknown types of alchemy), he was to get a hold of it. While Travis wasn’t a huge fan of this idea, he would have to do something or else he’d have to get a job to pay off his rent. |
