Have you heard of the story of The Emperor's New Clothes? Prince Alessio certainly hasn't, and even if he had, you would be unable to convince him that it applies to him.

Alessio was brought up as a royal, in a safe environment where all his servants and associates were loyal and trustworthy. As such, he developed into a friendly, kind-hearted reptile, although he still had the strong desire to gain the power and popularity of a true leader, like his parents. It was a matter of either waiting in line for the throne, or look elsewhere for a colony to call his own... That was when one of his contacts, with best intentions, informed him about a distant, primitive island of native scalies. In the hope of establishing himself as their King, he set sail for the tropical location of Isla Paraiso, also known as Scalie Paradise.

Now the real challenge begins. The prince naturally assumes that his reputation and lineage will precede him, but he is ignorant to the residents' culture and customs, which would best be described as wild and free. Free of politics, free of leadership, and even free of clothing. However, they're smarter than they look, and rumor has it that some of them are going to play along with the crocodile's demands, while they learn what makes him tick.

Alessio has spent almost his entire life around nobility and his own devoted servants. His naivety and blind trust of those around him might be his downfall if the others pick up on it. A few compliments and a curtsy might work wonders, but if his nobility or reputation is brought into question, he will take up whatever challenge is thrown at him, no matter how ridiculous or potentially humiliating. Whatever happens, he's bound to make a big impression on this civilization.

Here are the other two variants:


Historical note: my crocodile character was originally called Antonio, but that character took on several different personalities in different locations and timezones, so I have decided to branch off and give this guy a new name. The old Antonio may or may not appear in the future as a modern-day crocodile.
