▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄MAGIC ABILITIES▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
"It won't hurt, have some faith."
(Variant)Pyrokinesis: Unlike his father, Sasha controls white flames. They cannot deal any form of damage. They are said to purify "dark" magic such as curses, but he has not had the chance to test their capacity in that area. However, he has mastered their healing properties. He can heal most wounds, external or internal as long as he isn't ill at the moment himself. Unfortunately he cannot cure disease itself.
Telekinesis: He can will matter(mainly-consciously- inanimate objects since people are too unpredictable and it is morally wrong) to move with but a thought so long as it is within his "field of perception". The more mass, the more strenuous it is and the further it gets from him, the harder it is to control, he ultimately loses complete control over any object after 30ft. It can also be subconsciously triggered by abrupt emotion such as panic, stress or anger, forcing him to keep a tight hold over his own emotions.
His weight limit is approx 800lbs but won't usually surpass 600lbs due to his body's weak constitution.
He could also bind objects to keep them from moving so long as he is focused on the objects themselves.
His field of perception is basically like getting a "feeling" of what is around him. He can sense everything in the room even with his eyes closed, which compensates for his poor eyesight. Its limitations are at max a radius of 30ft where he can't control or sense anything at all. At 20ft things get a little shaky. While he still has control over the object, it is much harder to lift and navigate so the object's speed naturally slows until it comes to a dead stop at 30ft.
Since the power is based on mental strength, it is natural that if you force his attention away from the task, his focus will falter. The more objects he is moving, the easier it is to distract him and therefore break his concentration.
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄MENTAL CHARACTERISTICS▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Just, Reserved, Obsessive, Honest, Courteous
✦At a Glance- To most, he appears rather enigmatic. Unless there is a need for conversation, his words are few. He is friendly but reserved and somewhat detached. However, he is considered to be pretty courteous and honest overall, fitting of his station. Despite this, he isn't against teasing people and can be pretty harsh if not domineering if you push the right buttons.
✦Deeper in- Sasha is always in complete control over his every movement, failure to do so leaves him distraught and ashamed. Past his emotional barriers is a softie. If he could take the money from the aristocrats and give it to the people instead without getting himself assassinated, he would in a heartbeat. Instead, he gives what he can from his own funds to buy grain for the poor. He also hates turning a blind eye to injustice and his own weaknesses and is always striving to become stronger. Due to his mother's distance, he feels pretty lonely deep down but also feels that truly connecting with others is not only dangerous but downright impossible. With all of these insecurities weighing him down, it's not hard to assume he's pretty depressed about it all, bringing about his pessimistic nature. Combating his ever lingering pessimism however, is unyielding determination to move forward and perfect himself.
Current Goal/Purpose: To maintain his position as the heir to the throne and gain his mother's recognition.
Aspirations: Aside from making his mother proud, Sasha has few other aspirations. He doesn't even want the throne, knowing his body may not be able to handle the strain. If he could make his mother proud without the throne being the end goal, he would take it to make everyone happy.

~Reading
~Watching the Cooks work
~Playing chess with his father
~Sparring with the palace guards

Likes: Learning, Warmth, Food, Emotion(others)

General Appearance: Sasha lacks pigment in his eyes, hair, and skin; leaving him standing out a little when compared to his father. He stands confidently at 5'11, his silvery white hair falls to the nape of his neck where it is cut off. His bangs however are fairly long, carelessly falling past his eyes whenever he looks down. His pasty white skin matches his hair flawlessly. The only "flaw" being his tattoo that is carefully hidden from sight and well preserved beneath his clothes. The color of his eyes is more often than not dependent on the lighting. The more bright the light, the more pink/red they look. When there is less light, his eyes lean more towards his signature blue/grey. The middle ground is of course, a soft violet hue; a combination of red and blue.

▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄HISTORIC BACKGROUND▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
"Your overwhelming interest in me is making me uncomfortable."
Noble History:
Prince of France and Navarre, Aleksandr Bren Valois
No line is pure and his ancestors were no exception. Corruption and bloodied hands are the norm between royals. However, Sasha chooses to follow in his father's footsteps and work for the people instead.
Life before Story:
Born with albinism, meaning he has little or no melanin resulting in pale skin, and hair, Sasha wasn't exactly the ideal heir most had in mind. Due to his body's weak constitution, his mother neglected him, leading to his current insecurities. His father however, spared time for him when he could. As far as the subjects went, they were conflicted between whether this was a good sign or not. Ever the superstitious lot, many thought he was an angel who had fallen from the heavens to bless the land. However, others see that he hardly exits the palace in the day and assume he's a vampiric being here to curse the lands.
Having spent most of his childhood bedridden or indoors, Sasha always had his head buried in a book. From stories of dragons to complicated matters of court. He excelled in his studies. As he grew, he began to manage his symptoms with his white fire magic, giving rise to hope that he could spend the day like a normal kid. Playing outside and training in swordsmanship like other noble kids. However, his father suggested and personally trained him to use a glaive instead, thinking that swords and hand to hand combat would be a little too risky for him. He excelled in this too, even more so when he discovered his second ability, telekinesis. Unfortunately, his progress had yet to catch his mother's eye. Hoping to earn her praise, he set aside any thoughts of giving over the throne and instead focused on improving himself bit by bit to become the suitable king that people expected him to be. However, upon learning of the future alliance between him and the Queen of Italy, Sasha couldn't help but be a little hesitant. While marrying her would certainly be a good way to secure his position, he wasn't too set on getting close to her. Not only for his own safety but for his pride as well. If he didn't secure the throne with his own hands, wouldn't it be the same as hiding behind a woman's skirts?
