Condition: One Royal Imperial gala hall, Diplomats from around the world and a secure environment.
Standard: Given one evening, the Prince will meet potential romantic partners and diplomatic allies in celebration of the completion of his military service.
The goal is to find social and diplomatic allies for the character, Prince Fritjof Vang. So come with diplomacy, friendship or something more. I want to find a partner Fritz could date. But I don't want someone to just sign up to "win", that last part. I'm looking for someone to build factbooks and RP future events with. Continuing the story is the goal.
And oh by the way, maybe characters between other nations can end up linking because of similar writing styles. Let's develop characters!
*Characters must be human. *Non-caricatures. *MT *Nobility not required for interests.
Stand by for info on the venue and itinerary.

Successor to the Vannish Emperor
Thirty-two year old Prince Fritjof Vang is currently the successor to the Vannish Emperor, and of the House Vang. He studied at Overglade University, Vangaziland's most prestigious school in academics and athletics. He holds a graduate degree in International Relations & Business. The Prince made a name for himself as a student-athlete while playing lacrosse for Overglade. This was no small feat, as this meant his teammates were the nation's best. Some of them joined the pros or played internationally.
Fritjof is a fan of sports and is often seen among the crowds of his nation's many events. Of course, he has to wait until he can get time off from his unit. In fact, his world has become a balancing act of royal duties, military responsibilities and some semblance of a social life.
The Prince is a career officer in the Vannish Armed Forces. He has recently been promoted to Major. His service is within a Mobile Infantry Unit, utilizing the MOWAG Piranha V 8x8 vehicle. Being the successor, he was urged not to join the Army. It was the only thing he wanted to do in life and in the end, he could not be talked out of his goal. He reasoned that since all Vangazi had to serve 18 months, he should lead from the front as an officer.
He was a very hands-on kind of guy. If he wanted, he could have lived a totally sheltered and luxurious life. But he felt a desire to experience more.
Of course, the media is in his business. The military hides his professional life. The media can't get enough of his personal life. Any relationship garners a good deal of attention. Some television companies have offered millions of dollars for the idea of hosting a dating reality show with the Prince.
Prince Vang laughs it off but says he'd think about it if he could donate the money to charity.
The Prince is actually a bit modest. He's not often spotted in expensive cars, or flashing cash. There is a certain understatement to him, almost like he finds pleasure in the simple things.
Here is the Prince's personal Knarr sailing ship, known as 'The Bearded Axe'.

Prince Vang Returns From Hushed Deployment 4/1/2016
Colonel Harold Cringe of the Vannish Army's public relations department spoke at a press conference this morning. He brought news of Prince 'Fritz' Vang's deployment to Al-Khalifiya. This was the first the media heard of the deployment. News of Vangaziland's heir to the throne being deployed into a dangerous hot zone had been obviously kept secret.
Six months ago, Major Fritjof Vang deployed with the 4-41 Infantry battalion to Al-Khalifiya. Just a few weeks prior, he was transferred out of command of that battalion's Bravo Company and promoted to Major. He spent this deployment attached to the S-2 section, the battalion's intelligence department.
Prince Vang spent his deployment mostly analyzing maps, studying troop movements and briefing the battalion commander.
Apparently, Prince Vang forced his way out of the wire several times and regularly responded to incoming attacks by rushing to the guard towers.
"The first time Prince Vang showed up in a guard tower, I was like... Okay?" Staff Sergeant Richard Hix spoke on his memories of the Prince. "But next time, I was like... Sir you're back?"
Prince Vang and his unit deployed to Al-Khalifiya about 2 months after the start of hostilities. Vangaziland had intervened in the city-state because they had harbored a terror organization which launched an attack on Vangaziland. Ten months later, a new regime is in place that sides with the Vannish government. A civil war is still being fought between that terror organization, and loyalists to the old government versus the new Khalifiyan government.
Vangaziland has suffered many casualties in this conflict. News of the Prince's deployment was kept secret for tactical safety and to prevent panic and worry among the public.
The Prince has always said he would deploy before he retired from the military. Speculation has already begun about how much longer he will stay in the military.

Update: Prince Vang completed his Army Service Term on 20 APRIL 2017.
