King Thomas Cain II
King Thomas Cain II is the current king of the beloved Draywood monarchy. Popular among citizens, he's known for regularly interacting with the public, attending festivals and art galleries, and being a kind and generous man of the people. Despite his positive reputation, his family secretly wishes someone more sensible was leader, as the king has an elementary mindset when it comes to politicking.[1]

Family History
When the Flare first hit and Marks were poorly understood, Draywood coped with the sudden chaos by forcing all Marked out of city proper and into woodland work camps to allegedly maintain balance between Earth and humanity. This didn't last long as the superhumans revolted, overthrew the old government and instated a monarchy with King Jean-Luc Cain, beloved war hero and head of the revolution, in power. He trained his son Thomas extensively in every subject since he was little, retiring from the throne after a peaceful rule.
Succeeding him, King Thomas I was also a talented leader, less of a public speaker and more calculated, much of Draywood's current public infrastructure is thanks to his careful planning. He notably resented the pressure put on him in his youth and raised his son, Thomas Cain II, with the intent of not passing down the crown as long as he can and letting Thomas II have a normal life.
However, he died unexpectedly, and Thomas Cain II, only 18, was somewhat ill prepared to take the throne. Thankfully, Draywood's Congress and the king's family members have advised him and kept the transition smooth, and no one can deny the king's passion, optimism, and belief in common good. That's all you really need to rule, right?
The current heir in line is Princex Emil Cain, though it will be some time before they're ready to inherit the throne.
