Physical Appearance:
Baron Streiler is as smart as the devil and two times prettier. This man holds himself with a strong sense of authority and confidence, often mistaken for arrogance...which he is—at times. Standing at 6'4" feet tall and weighing around 210 pounds, he's lean with a prominent, muscular frame that commands attention wherever he goes. With broad shoulders that lead down to strapping biceps, his forearms are fairly veiny, a testament to the rigorous physical demands of his work. Despite the ruggedness of his hands, which bear the callouses from a life spent grappling with tools and materials, they are surprisingly gentle to the touch, deftly capable of both strength and care. His nails are always kept short and well taken care of, a subtle indication of his meticulous nature.
Overall, his actual body structure is proportionate and rather mesomorphic, featuring a muscular, wider chest that tapers down to a slimmer torso and hips, leading to long, strong legs that seem to carry him with an effortless grace. His middle is well-defined, showcasing abdominal muscles that hint at a softer six-pack, while a noticeable v-cut resides a tad bit lower, emphasizing the dedication he puts into maintaining his physique. His back is equally impressive, with strong shoulders and a straight, almost cat-like posture that exudes confidence and readiness. Scars litter his back, remnants of intense training sessions and the occasional disagreement during work—each telling a story of resilience and the challenges he has faced. His skin is smooth with a light tan coloration, devoid of blemishes, save for the scars that add character to his otherwise flawless complexion.
Now, moving to his facial structure. The man is practically a Greek god, with a sharp jawline that cuts across his diamond-shaped face, lending him an air of regality. His high cheekbones dip in ever so slightly, enhancing his striking features. Baron's lips are fuller, colored a lighter pink, with two defined peaks on his upper lip that lend a certain charm, while his bottom lip is softly rounded, creating a harmonious balance. Behind those lips lies a pearly white smile, a charismatic and deceptive grin that can disarm even the most guarded of hearts. His nose, more reminiscent of classic Roman architecture, has a small bump in the middle that adds character, culminating in a light upturn at the tip that gives him a mischievous yet approachable appearance.
His brows are well-sculpted and dark brown, framing his captivating eyes—hooded and a striking gold color rimming with dark brown, thick lashes accentuating their allure. Baron's gaze can shift from piercing intensity to playful warmth in an instant, making it difficult for anyone to resist being drawn into his orbit. His hair is a raven black color, with a silky look that catches the sun in proper lighting, giving off an almost ethereal glow. It’s thick and wavy, falling just above his brow in a way that frames his face perfectly while still looking like he just got done with training.

Personality:
MBTI Type: ESTP
Resourceful // Confident // Dark // Cold // Calculating // Emotionally Distant // Arrogant // Brash // Loyal // Protective // Empathetic // Domineering
Baron Streiler needs to be everything an executioner would be, embodying the cold efficiency required to serve his king and ensure the safety of his kingdom. With a heart coated in steel, he has become a man hardened by the trials of his past, which have left him dark and emotionally distant, often leading others to perceive him as arrogant and brash. This facade of confidence and boldness masks a complex individual who is fiercely competitive and protective of those he deems worthy of his loyalty.
He approaches life as a practical thinker, a strategic mind always scanning the horizon for potential threats while simultaneously devising resourceful solutions to problems that arise, often before they even surface. His ability to anticipate dangers has earned him a reputation as a tactical genius among his peers, instilling a sense of respect and fear that commands attention in both the court and the battlefield. In social settings, he can be charming and persuasive, effortlessly drawing people into his orbit with a magnetic charisma that belies his more sinister role as an executioner. Yet, there lies an undercurrent of deception within him, as he deftly navigates conversations, sometimes hiding his true intentions behind a veneer of amiability, allowing him to manipulate situations to his advantage without revealing the depths of his true nature.
Impulsivity often drives his decisions, leading to moments of disorganization and impatience that clash with his otherwise calculated demeanor. In the heat of the moment, he is unflinching, ready to act decisively, yet this same trait makes him blunt and at times insensitive to the feelings of others, leaving a trail of bruised egos and fractured relationships in his wake. His energy is palpable, fueling his inventive spirit as he tackles challenges head-on, a natural risk-taker who thrives on adrenaline and the thrill of adventure. It is this very quality that propels him into situations where others would hesitate, yet it simultaneously serves as a double-edged sword, often placing him at odds with the more cautious advisors who surround him.
However, beneath this robust exterior lies a struggle—one that involves his tendency to think only in the moment and a difficulty in following through with plans. While he can devise intricate strategies in the blink of an eye, the follow-through often eludes him, leaving his schemes half-formed and vulnerable to the ravages of time and circumstance. Although he often shows his heart to few, there is a deep-seated fear of love that complicates his relationships, leaving him feeling conflicted and broken at times, as he grapples with the dichotomy of his role as both protector and executioner. His sense of respect is non-negotiable; he is easily triggered by any form of disrespect toward himself or those he cares for, and the thought of his time being wasted only adds to his frustrations, often resulting in explosive confrontations that further isolate him from those around him.
In this intricate tapestry of traits, Baron Streiler stands as a formidable figure—an executioner not merely by duty, but by the very essence of his being, wrestling with his inner demons while striving to fulfill his role as protector of the realm. He embodies the duality of man, walking the fine line between darkness and light, battling the ghosts of his past while forging a path towards an uncertain future. Each decision he makes is weighed against the backdrop of his previous failures and triumphs, creating a complex character who is as enigmatic as he is formidable. The echoes of his past reverberate in his actions, shaping his present and influencing the choices he makes for tomorrow, as he navigates the treacherous waters of loyalty, betrayal, and the ceaseless quest for redemption in a world where the line between justice and vengeance is often blurred. Ultimately, Baron Streiler is not just an executioner; he is a man in search of purpose, striving to reconcile the shadows of his soul with the noble ideals he is sworn to protect.

Strengths & Weaknesses:
Strengths
Combat Skills; The training began when Baron turned sixteen. As young adults who wish to partake in the dragon-taming tournaments need to go through two years of grueling combat training, that's exactly what Baron did. Even before he was appointed as one of the King's Advisors, the ruler seemed to...favor him. Which was great in some aspects but rather terrible in others. The King expected much from Baron, which also meant he was challenged further- not only in the physical aspect of training but in the mental and emotional aspect of it as well. Baron had been trained arduously enough that even the king hasn't been able to complete a session with him- and that had continued... until he was met with his match. His equal. And the woman who broke his heart in ways he never thought possible. No training could have prepared him for that. And he's not planning on letting that happen again.
Charm; However dangerous and cold this man may be, he certainly knows the way around social situations. Always meaning to come off as charming and sociable. And he does just that. The man's charismatic and alluring complexion seems to draw people in, catching their attention when he walks into a room. With his persuasive nature and experience in different social classes, he knows just the right way to flash an endearing grin or a suggestive glance to get what he wants making him ever so cunning and deceptive. He knows how to get what he wants and by no means is anything getting into his way there.
Loyalty; It's terrifying what this man could end up doing for someone he's tied to. And that's exactly why he doesn't blatantly give it out to people. If you want him to stand by your side, earn it. Baron's loyalty comes primarily from his work with the King of Tyris. He's a soldier. He does what he's told without complaint and does it willingly because he knows for sure that its ought to be right... He would go down a proud man to die for that someone in which he was faithful to.
Weaknesses
Emotionally Detached; He was once. Vulnerable, I mean. However, as he grew older and went through perilous training he found himself getting less so. There was a point in his life where he simply didn't interact with anyone other than the people he worked for because of the gnawing fear that he would become that...weak little boy from his past. Someone came along at that time though. And by god was it hard not to share everything with her. He really had cared for her... but everything has to end at some time. And for Baron, things ended in betrayal, wrath, and heartbreak. Slowly and surely, he's crawled back into that mask of indifference and emotionless actions. Unsure and not quite wanting to know if there's any way to fix him. Anything. And everything.
Hyperthymesia - Baron has suffered from this medical condition since he was very little. The uncommon ability to allow him to spontaneously recall- with great accuracy and detail- a vast number of personal events and memories plagues him to this day. While this condition may be helpful in some situations, such as his interesting line of...work, its also a burden he has to carry with him. He remembers everything. The wonderful times of his life, every conversation with everyone he's ever met, and the horrific, terrifying moments in his past in which he can only dream to forget. And with his ability to see into the future as well- he's plagued by past, present, and future ordeals that run through his mind, paying no mind to the rent fee.
Philophobia - The nagging fear of falling in love. It wasn't always this way. In Baron's early life, it was easy for him to say his "I love you's" and show affection. The older he grew, however, and the moment he realized that nobody could fall for a murderer- the thought became a mere particle. Baron is aware of the sheer lengths he may go to protect someone he loves and that fact scares him. Just how many people would he tear down to prove his love? What would he give up? What.... There was a girl. She had been everything in a time where he had nothing. He never got to share how deeply he cared for her before the woman killed the wife of who he put his loyalty in. And the fear- that had been momentarily stalled- came flooding back.
Stubbornness - This has gotten him into a quite a lot of trouble in the past. As the young man has never been one to go along with something he doesn't see as right or agree with, Baron has been a part of many different scuffles throughout his lifetime. He won't admit to mistakes he may have made along the way and he certainly won't change his position in something just because another person wants him to. The guy is a mountain that should not even attempt to be moved. Unless you want an avalanche- than by all means, go ahead and try.

Backstory:
Baron Elio Streiler has had an eventful life to say the least. Born in the Kingdom of Tyris, his early years were marred by tragedy and hardship; his mother died during childbirth, leaving him with an emptiness that echoed through his childhood. His father, a man burdened by grief and rage, channeled his anguish into a form of mental abuse, which shaped Elio’s formative years into a struggle for both survival and self-worth. As a teenager, he longed for escape, a way to transcend the pain of his domestic life. At sixteen, he seized an opportunity that would change the course of his existence forever—he signed up for the two-year training program for the annual Dragon Taming tournament, a fierce competition revered throughout the kingdom.
To his astonishment, he was accepted, and his life took a drastic turn. The rigorous training regimen was designed not only to forge formidable warriors but also to refine character and resilience. He learned to wield not just physical strength but the mental acuity necessary to connect with the dragons, creatures of immense power and majesty. The king, recognizing Elio's tenacity and raw talent, took a special interest in him, which brought both fortune and a heavy burden. While the king’s favor opened doors, it also cast a shadow over him, as others eyed him with jealousy and suspicion.
As he trained alongside the other contestants, Baron found solace and companionship in an unexpected place—he formed a deep bond with Ilyana, a fierce and spirited contender with an unwavering determination. Her laughter was a balm to his wounded soul, and her fierce spirit drew him in like a moth to a flame. He found it hard to believe he was falling for her; her presence broke through the walls he had constructed around his heart, walls reinforced by years of isolation and pain. Together, they shared their dreams, fears, and aspirations, each moment spent together igniting a passion in him he had never known.
However, as the competitions neared their climax, tragedy struck. The queen, a beloved figure known for her grace and wisdom, was assassinated under mysterious circumstances. The news shattered the kingdom, and Baron was left reeling, grappling with the unbearable weight of grief and betrayal. It was not until he emerged victorious, claiming the title of champion, that he learned the truth—the very woman he had come to love, Ilyana, was implicated in the queen’s death. The revelation left him feeling as though the ground had been pulled from beneath him. The only maternal figure he had ever known was gone, and the girl who had become his confidante and ally was now branded a fugitive.
Now, thrust into the role of the king’s advisor, Baron faced an agonizing dilemma. Tasked with tracking down Ilyana, he struggled with the conflicting emotions swirling within him—loyalty to the crown battling against the profound connection he had formed with her. The very thought of pursuing her filled him with anguish, as betrayal coursed through his veins, mingling with a sense of love that refused to fade. Each day felt like a war waged within, as he donned the mantle of executioner, his heart heavy with the knowledge that he might one day be the one to bring her to justice.
Yet, deep down, Baron knew he could not condemn her without understanding the truth—the truth that lay hidden beneath layers of deception and treachery. As he was assigned to this perilous quest to find Ilyana, he felt the weight of his past bearing down on him, urging him to confront not only the external forces at play but also the turmoil within his own soul. He was determined to unravel the mystery of the queen’s death and uncover the real story behind Ilyana’s actions, even if it meant facing the very demons that haunted him and risking everything he had fought so hard to achieve.
