It is these that led him to stop at nothing short of bewitchment before giving up on the woman everyone claimed he only dreamed up. Though a fair, honest, and firm ruler in his middle age, Eric retains boy like imagination and dreams, and cannot help the sea and love of action and adventure roiling in his blood. He loves loyally and trusts completely. the history overall history • Eric was born to a hearty King of the small, quaint seaside settlement known as Oceanica. His mother was not a royal, but a common shore girl, found and beloved by his father one day in the market. It is f her side of the family that Eric is believed to have inherited his love for the sea. The King and his wife died in a mysteriously sudden storm upon the ocean one day when Eric was very young, leaving him with only faded memories and the imperishable sense of right and wrong they had instilled in him. Grimsby was made Regent, and he and Oceanica’s kindly castle staff raised the boy until he was old enough to rule on his own. As a young man, Eric preferred swashbuckling and setting sail to staying home and ruling. He loved to see new things and right wrongs where his sleepy kingdom stayed peaceful. It was a birthday voyage at sea that introduced him to the little mermaid who would one day be his bride. Ariel rescued him after a disastrous shipwreck. Eric came to on the shore without being able to remember her face, but with a distinct impression of her voice, and vowed to marry the woman who had saved his life. His own father had met his mother in a similar boating accident, though not so mysterious. Grimsby and the entire kingdom could not convince him to give it up. Even when Eric found a strangely mute redhead on the shores of his very castle, who seemed devoted to him by everything eyes could express, it took time before he would give up hope of finding the singer who had rescued him. But no sooner had Eric decided to marry the girl he’d found than he was enchanted by a sea-witch into believing he had found the magical dream girl. Eric nearly married this woman, but the spell was broken by the mute girl, who turned out to be Ariel, a mermaid who’d given up her voice for a chance at legs and a life with him. Eric realized what was going on just as the sea-witch revelaed herself to be the tentacled monster Ursula and kidnapped Ariel to force her father, King of the sea Triton, to give up his power to her. Eric tried to rescue his lady love even if all he had to do it with was a harpoon and a rowboat, and was nearly killed for his efforts. At the last moment, Ariel provided a distraction and Eric was able to slay Ursula. King Triton granted his daughter her legs again and she and Eric were married. His happiness was paramount when Melody, their little daughter, was born. She took after her father’s love of the sea and her mother’s stubborn commitment to exploration. Eric and Ariel longed for let their daughter roam, but because of the threat of Ursula’s vengeful and insane sister Morgana, they were forced to keep her heritage as half-mermaid a secret. This almost led to their downfall when Morgana manipulated a pre-teen Melody into believing her own Grandfather was an enemy, but Ariel was able to find and convince her runaway daughter of the truth in time to defeat Morgana. Eric’s confidence in Melody’s ability to take care of herself has only grown. When the worlds Merged and the war began, he was eager to jump in and fight for justice with the Enchanted Suns...but Ariel disagreed. The red headed bride argued passionately that if Oceanica went to war, so would Atlantica, because her father would not let them fight alone. She argued that they couldn’t be sure which side was truly right, and couldn’t be justified in endangering their people—and Melody—just when everything was starting to return to normal. Eric received letters from the Suns and their allies requesting his help, but though they disagreed, he couldn’t bring himself to plunge Oceanica into war against his dear little mermaid’s wishes. So for now, he watches, waits, and argues, hoping something will help him to convince Ariel that the Suns deserve their help. the role player alias • SmilePirate age • 24 pronouns • She, her how did you find us? • My sister other characters •Nala, Prince Charming, Eric, Jasmine |
