Julien Rosser

Julien is the former king of Albion, and one of the greatest heroes to ever set foot in Albion. He is the father of Logan, Mia, Makayla, & Autumn Rosser and the husband of Nova. Julien conquered the great spire and saved all of Albion long ago. He's a descendant of William Black and The hero of Oakvale.

Early Life
Julien Arthur Rosser was born on September 13th, 1738 to a farmer and his wife. The two had previously had a daughter named Rose who was already four years old by the time Julien was born.

Many times throughout Julien's childhood, his parents went on mysterious trips and wouldn't return back for days, leaving Rose to care for him. He didn't mind though, It was all he ever knew. He'd just continue trotting along through the fields, chasing chickens and shooting bottles off high places, like rocks or the roof of the barn. Sometimes Rose would join him but most of the time, she was inside reading or drawing.

One morning on the day his parents were supposed to return, the pair waited outside for them, excited to see their parents. But, the morning sun traveled through the sky until it set again, making the sky glow like fire. The children became tired quickly and decided to retreat to bed. But, they never returned. A few days later, Rose packed their things into a small bag and they took off.The first winter was harsh and a nice family allowed the kids to stay there until summer came and they left for vacation. They never returned to their home. The children were once again abandoned and alone, begging for food on the side of the street.

Just as the second winter was beginning, the children saved up enough gold coins to buy a "magic" music box that only granted them one wish. Rose, being childish and immature, wished to live in Lord Lucien's castle. At first the magic didn't work and the box disappeared into the thin air. Both children were terribly upset when they fell asleep that night. That's until they were woken by guards, ordering them to go to Lord Lucien's castle.

At first Lucien seemed kind but then he pulled out a gun. Rose begged him desperately not to hurt her or her brother but Lucien shot and Rose fell to the ground in anguish. Julien pleaded for his life just as Rose did and it seemed as though Lucien would spare him. But, instead he shot him out of the tallest tower of the castle. Down he fell, his spine breaking as he hit a roof. Every bone in his body was shattered. A mysterious woman named Theresa spared him that day and nursed him back to health. But, Julien wanted revenge for what had happened that night.

The road to revenge
For ten years, Julien trained in the woods, trying his best to prepare for what Theresa had been telling him for years. Nothing could prepare him for the journey he was to embark on.

On Julien's eighteenth birthday, Theresa rose him from his caravan and gave him a long-sword, a crossbow and a spade, as well as a collar for his furry friend Jax. She then ordered him to go down into a deep, dark cave and to not ask any questions, just do the task. So he did. In the cave, he fought many beetles. The fact that he killed them so easily boosted his teenage ego but Theresa was quick to scold him. At the end of the cave came a glowing light, to which he was ordered to step into. Julien became afraid. This was what Lucien told him before he killed Rose. But, he proceeded. Energy soared through his body, flooding his veins and lifting him up into the air. At first it was painful then exhilarating. A new strength inhabited his body. His journey was just beginning.

Throughout his journey to Lucien he met many friends, heroes just like him. They helped him along the way. Julien slayed many balverine, hobbes and hollowmen over the course of two years. He even met a girl to whom he fell in love with. Her name was Nova and she was the princess of Albion, soon to be queen.

Before they even became married, Nova became pregnant. But just as he found out, it was time to leave for the spire, Lucien's new home. Julien felt much guilt but it had to be done.

It took much more time then expected, ten years even, leaving his wife and child alone. When Julien returned and Lucien was defeated, Logan was already ten years old. Nova and Julien married immediately, becoming the king and queen of Albion. Together they welcomed three more children, little girls.

Personality
Julien was egotistical and quite douchey at times. He loved to boast, a perk he earned from being a great hero. But as a youngster, he was also a goofball. Even as an adult, he never seemed to run out of energy. Julien was very romantic and loved the idea of love. Though he was not sensitive and was quite hardened from fighting and killing. He only showed his affection to his wife and occasionally his children. To his wife, he was soft. To his children, he was strict. He was the master of tough love. When his children cried, he didn't offer much sympathy, just a lecture. Sympathy was their mother's job.

Appearance
In Julien's young adulthood, he had thick, long brown hair usually tied back in a long ponytail or left to fly in the wind as he rode on a horse. He was tall and lean with golden skin from the sun. The hot sun brought out the golden in his big brown eyes, making them glow.

Towards the end of his life, his hair had turned grey and was mostly left in a long braid or bun. A black eye patch covered where his left eye should've been. Underneath was a long, pink scar stretching onto his forehead. He became muscular, with tattoos covering his arms. Scars covered his body from past battles. In his last days, wrinkles covered his face.

Death
When Nova died, Julien lost his hope. She was everything that kept him going. A couple of months after her passing, Julien went out to the woods unarmed and allowed balverine to attack him, ultimately ending his life. To his people and his family, his death is still a mystery.

Nova Rosser
"How dare you come back here after ten years and expect me to just forgive you like that! Well it bloody hell worked!'- Nova in shock after Julien's return from the spire.

Julien loved Nova from the moment he met her but it took awhile for her to feel the same. The two had a very gentle, caring relationship. They got through things together, never separate. They mostly disagreed on methods of discipline for their children. After Nova passed, Julien was never the same. He loved her dearly and couldn't go on without her.

Logan Rosser
Logan and Julien had a rocky relationship. Since Julien wasn't around for the first ten years, Logan struggled to connect with his father. He had never been around any men except for servants so naturally they made him nervous. Logan rebelled against Julien many times, but Julien never felt it was his place to discipline Logan. Logan didn't shed a tear when Julien passed.

Mia Mcknight
Julien made multiple attempts to bring his daughter closer but she was too independent. Mia saw Julien as more of a friend then a father, but she was his easiest child to get in line and listen to the rules. She gave him the upmost respect and he did the same for her. She was more likely his favorite child just because she was the easiest child to raise. But, he denied having any favorites.

Makayla Rosser
Julien didn't understand Makayla even though he tried. Makayla pushed his buttons more than any of the other children, leaving her grounded most of the time. She loved to test his patience and break every rule possible. When she'd cry, he wouldn't understand so he'd let Nova handle it. He thought the sleep paralysis episodes were nonsense and that she was making them up. This caused them to drift apart. Makayla blamed herself for her dad's death even though she did nothing wrong.

Autumn Rosser
Autumn and Julien were inseparable. Wherever Julien went, Autumn was right beside him. She was a true daddy's girl. He loved Autumn's hopeful, dreamy personality. It reminded him of his sister. He searched for days when Autumn went missing and blamed himself whenever he couldn't find her. He never gave up hope that someday she'd return back to the castle but it never happened.
