Paul Alexis Nicholas Ivanov is heir-apparent to the Sapphire Throne of the Tsardom of Velikoslavia. Upon inheriting the throne, he will be the X Tsar of All Ludic People. Born in 2004 as the first child of the newly married Alexis V and Theodora, Paul was officially recognized as the Tsesarevich, or Heir-Apparent, of the Velikoslavian Empire. He is currently being educated in the Gilded Academy for Boys in the same manner as his father.

Early Life

Birth

Paul was born on January 5, 2005 in the Silver Palace in Onsk in the Ivanov ancestral city. His mother and father both went for an extended period of time to stay together for his birth. This was a break from tradition where the Tsarina would journey alone with a significant number of nurses and other staff and give birth, spending six to eight weeks with the baby before returning to court. The couple arrived on January 1 and Paul was born four days later. The baby weighed six pounds eight ounces upon his birthday and was dedicated to God by the priest. The couple spent an additional six weeks at the palace bonding with the baby. In another break with tradition, they took him back to court with them instead of sequestering him far away with a governess. It was said that this was a personal request by Theodora and this pattern was repeated with every successive child. In March of 2005, he was taken to the Noble Archives where he was officially registered as Paul Alexis Nicholas Ivanov, Heir-Apparent to the Sapphire Throne of the Velikoslavian Empire. He was issued his arms two weeks later.

Adolescents and Education

The young Prince was raised from his birth in the Valtos Palace where he spent his toddler years. He was known as an inquisitive and rambunctious child who asked many questions and thought carefully about his actions. At age 3, he started his formal education under private tutors at the palace school where he received high marks. By the age of 6, he showed a good command of Ludic and was beginning to learn Latin. He began to be involved with numerous sporting leagues from the age of 7. Paul showed proficiency in soccer and pitz, playing in several leagues for noble boys. By age 9, he had graduated to wider leagues playing in the Saint Dumont Youth Soccer League and the Saint Dumont Youth Pitz Team. By the age of 13, Paul showed significant proficiency in his subjects, commanding an above average mastery of Ludic and Latin for his age. On his 14th birthday, he began to shadow his father during sessions of the Imperial Court and many of his council sessions with the Council of Nine.
