APPEARANCE
Holland is tall and lean, with charcoal colored hair and washed out skin. His hair is normally worn neatly, but is long enough to fall over his eyes. His left eye is edge to edge black (a mark of Antari magicians), and his left is grey-green. Like most residents of the dying White London, he has a strangely colorless, faded appearance, and smells like woodsmoke.
His chest and arms bear deep scars. His chest particularly is a mess of them -- a binding mark lays over his heart and at his back, surrounded by scars of methodical attempts to self-remove it, and a starburst impalement scar in the center. His forearms and wrists are heavily scarred with the marks of torture and bloodletting.
He usually wears white, regal clothing, along with a half-cape. His usual expression is neutral and closed off, and he has the air of a man who broke so deeply so long ago that he's mostly just going through the motions.

When he was younger, Holland was like any other child; expressive and curious. But as he manifested as an Antari and became a target for all the magic-hungry people of White London, he started to grow cautious and wary, but nonetheless eventually proudly and confidently displayed his status as one-of-a-kind in his city, knowing he could defend himself if need be -- and he often did need to, subjected to many attempts on his life.
During his time as a bound captive of the Dane twins, however, Holland broke so deeply that he never fully recovered from it. He became withdrawn and unwilling to show any kind of emotional vulnerability, even with those he tentatively trusted. Trust became hard, almost impossible, and he started to expect violent treatment from everybody. So used to torture, the mental torture he suffered at the hands of Osaron only deepened his reserved and stoic nature.
He is calm and collected, and doesn't even remotely show his heart on his sleeve, showing very little of what he feels. Holland never feels the need to prove himself, not even if people are doubting his capabilities to his face. Despite being deeply broken, Holland feels a love for his city unmatched by anything else, and shows an unending passion for wanting to save his city from its slow death -- he would do anything for it, including offering up his body and soul to dubious entities.

(TL;DR: a magician from a dying au of london desperately seeks to save his city, generally fucks himself over in the process)
Holland grew up in the slums of White London, a city once splendid and opulent condemned to a slow fading death after the magic started to drain away from it. When he was young, he manifested as an Antari, a rare type of magician marked with a black eye. Since the population of White London were desperate for magic, so desperate they tattooed and branded themselves to try to bind their fading magic to their bodies, he became a target because of his rare, powerful magic, and learned to fight from a young age. His father died when he was young, and his mother was mostly only interested in getting high in dens somewhere else. At nine years old, his older brother Alox attempted to murder him, and Holland's unpredictable magic lashed out in self defense, turning Alox to stone.
When he was eighteen, his first and only girlfriend tried to kill him because someone offered her a hefty sum of silver. Again, Holland's only way of saving himself was to kill her with her own blade.
Not long after that, he teamed up with a man named Ros Vortalis -- a slumlord who had tried to kill him multiple times -- and backed Vortalis' campaign to be king. Holland became his knight and protector. Later, the Dane twins Athos and Astrid took the throne from Vortalis by way of bloodshed (the only way to gain the throne in White London), and took Holland captive. Athos carved a soul seal into Holland's chest, binding him to follow Athos' every instruction. They then forced Holland to kill all of Vortalis' men. For the next seven years, he was their slave, and when they weren't using him to murder all of their competition, they delighted in torturing him.
During those years, Holland also served as messenger to the other Londons -- Red London, and Grey London -- and when the Danes heard about a powerful fragment of Black London, they sent Holland to retrieve it. Ultimately, he failed, and was almost killed by Kell Maresh, who impaled him and sent him to Black London.
Holland didn't die, though, and spent a month in the dead and frozen world of Black London. The impalement went through his soul seal, freeing him from the Danes (doubly so once they are killed), and he resolved to use his freedom to start trying to save his own world. He encounters a shadowy entity, Osaron, a king of Black London, who promised to bring the magic back to White London, as long as Holland allowed Osaron to live in his body. Though Holland was hesitant to bind himself to someone again, his drive to save his city was so strong that he accepted.
When he returned to White London, he became King, and fulfilled the story of the Someday King, the king White London had been waiting for, the one who restored color and magic to their world. White London started flourishing again. But Osaron, a creature of chaos, eventually became unhappy and wanted more. Holland attempted to make a deal with him to let him take over the body of another Antari, but the other refused, and so Osaron dug his claws deep into Holland's soul and drowned him in his own consciousness.
Eventually, Osaron left him, and started to take over Red London. Holland was imprisoned in the royal castle cells. He offered a way to kill Osaron, to trap him within his body and to allow them both to be executed, but this plan ultimately failed. He was dragged along with two other Antari to find a way to save Red London, and they eventually found a relic that would let them seal Osaron away -- but in order to do so, one of them had to sacrifice their magic. Holland volunteered with no hesitation, believing that his death would be the best course of action.
The plan worked, and both Osaron and Holland's magic were sealed. Holland returned to White London, dying without his magic, and died peacefully. His body was discovered by the royal guard, and over the next few years, a cult in White London started in his name, revered as the Someday King and the Summer Saint, the King who brought magic back to White London.
ABILITIES
ELEMENTAL CONTROL
as an Antari, Holland can control all five elements: water, air, earth, fire, and bone. It also allows him to control combinations of these, such as metal, or lightning.
BLOOD COMMANDS
the other half of Antari magic lays in blood commands. Holland can apply blood to a surface and use it to travel between worlds -- or to break, heal, grow, light, freeze, and numerous other commands.
COMBAT TRAINING
outside of his magic, Holland is a relatively skilled fighter who prefers to use a curved blade. He does, however, heavily rely on his magic.
