Prince Joachim

Story

Prince Joachim of Prussia was originally a character and the main antagonist in the 2021 movie Jungle Cruise, the plot of which takes place in 1916. The German prince leads a military-scientific expedition and with his troop in a submarine in Brazil pursues the heroes, wanting to retrieve the Arrowhead, which will point the way to the Tree of the Moon's Tears, the petals of which can cure any disease and resurrect people. The prince wished to acquire the petals for Germany's victory in World War I and to "rule all generations to come". In the finale, the prince fights the heroine's brother and is punched in the face, after which a large rock falls on him, crushing him. Present day: Prince Joachim is mysteriously transported from the world of the movie to the real world after his death. Wasting no time, he gains power in Russia with the support of nationalists and monarchists. He changes the name of Russia to the German Empire and puts as emperor a modern representative of the Hohenzollern dynasty - Georg Friedrich Ferdinand Hohenzollern (1976 - present day), while he himself remains in the title of prince, although in fact it is the prince who is the shadow ruler of the country, since it was he who proclaimed the and the troops are loyal to him, and the emperor has to decide the most important matters of state with the prince.

Appearance

Overall, the prince looks like actor Jesse Plemons. He is about 183 centimeters tall and weighs about 108-110 kilograms (he has a potbelly in the shape of a slide, but it is unnoticeable in any costume except the military one; on the contrary, in all other costumes he looks slim). He has gray-blue eyes. His hair color varies with the lighting, but generally ranges from very light brown to golden-blonde, and it is slicked back, though it sometimes falls down a bit on the sides. His mustache is the same color; it's not very lush, but noticeable. Overall, he is of the anthropological Borreby type: broad body, broad and slightly flat face, brachycephalic. He usually has three costumes: ceremonial, military, and strolling. The ceremonial style consists of a red ceremonial uniform with gold epaulettes, a gold axelbant on the right side and three medals on the left breast, a gold belt at the waist, gold buttons, gold embroidery at the neck and gold embroidery on the tassels, gray pants with a red line on the sides, and officers' black boots; sometimes white pants without lines may be worn instead of gray. He wears this costume usually in parades, during meetings, or when he is close to a target, and similar situations. The military style consists of a gray military uniform with red lines, the same gray pants with red lines, and the same black boots, but black officer's gloves are added. When wearing a military costume, he always wears a gold chain with a gold double-headed eagle around his neck. Walking attire consists of a white shirt, dark purple jacket, gray-red tie, gray pants, and brown shoes; sometimes the shoes are changed to black. The eyebrows aren't very prominent. The wide face may make it seem like he has small eyes, but that is not the case. His smile usually looks like a smirk, and sometimes like a maddening yet feignedly kind smile. He also wears a large gold ring on his right middle finger with a protrusion that has a red stone in the center.

Personality & Mind

Prince Joachim often comes across as a pretty polite and even quirky man. He's hospitable. However, when someone gets in his way or tries to infringe on his goal, the prince reveals himself to be a ruthless man with no remorse, willing to go to his head for what he wants. For example, he is willing to take hostages and threaten to torpedo an Indian settlement in a tree if the hostage does not give him the location of his accomplices; or he may kill members of a scientific society to whom his name has been revealed, even though he is supposed to remain incognito in an enemy country; or he may try to torpedo a boatload of heroes, wanting to take an artifact they have found for himself. Despite this, he always honors the deal if he has made a promise. He is also capable of being merciful, lenient, and forgiving if something overly beautiful happens (for example, they found a tree with magical petals that glowed incredibly beautifully, which improved the prince's mood and he agreed to provide a petal to the heroine). He hates being distracted; some people joke that he could calmly shoot a man if he distracted the prince from painting and continue painting. In moments of danger, he can sometimes become frightened, but he may not run, but rather act decisively (e.g., when the hero steered the boat straight into a waterfall, the prince shouted “You're going to kill us all!” in an attempt to get the hero away from the helm). He's a skillful manipulator. He also doesn't like to be rebuffed, and can speak in such a way that it's hard to tell if it's irony or truth (e.g., when he asked the heroine to help activate the Tree, she asked what guarantee he had that he wouldn't kill them afterward, and he either calmly or with subtle irony replied "I could ... kill you now"). While waiting for something to happen, he may start singing while simultaneously firing a gun into the air to the rhythm, thereby expressing underlying stress and nervousness for fear of missing the deadline.

Submarine

Joachim has his own World War I-era U-boat type military submarine. It looks like a model U 31. It has a dark gray hull and a black deckhouse with a white cross. It has two hatches, one on the main hull and one on the turret (deckhouse). From the main hull hatch, two aircraft machine guns can be extended to the surface. The sub also has torpedoes, sea mines, radio communications, periscope and sonar system. There is a cross-shaped metal structure on the bow of the submarine that combines the functions of a battering ram and anti-barrier defense. The first, upper deck, has two compartments - the first, the longest, is a corridor with control instruments, torpedo tanks and is generally a control room; the second compartment of the first deck is at the rear end with a door, and on entering it one finds Prince Joachim's room, furnished with books, flags, medals, coins, maps, pictures, a private dining table, a bed, a tea table, a small “kitchen” for drinks and food, a desk, and a phonograph. The second, lower deck, which can be accessed via a vertical ladder through the hatch of the first deck, has three compartments; the first, where the ladder leads, is a small room with a map table, opposite which more maps are hung on the wall; the second, located at the rear behind the door of the first, where the engine is located; and the third compartment, which contains sleeping quarters and showers for the crew; the third compartment also has a separate room for Axel, the prince's assistant. The submarine is capable of high speeds on the surface, surfacing by the bow. The submarine crew consists of approximately 13 to 16 people. The crew's assistant is Axel, whom the prince respects very much, even if he is sometimes annoyed by Axel's failures.

About new Russia 1

In Joachim's 2026 coup, he renamed Russia the German Empire. He made reforms that made Russia completely identical to the German Empire of Wilhelm II's time. Power is divided officially between the Kaiser (German emperor), the Reich Chancellor (imperial chancellor, head of government), and the parliament (the Reichstag, the lower house, responsible for general imperial affairs; and the Bundesrat, which is the representative body of the constituent units of the empire, mainly responsible for the countries within the empire and the most important areas, and reporting to the chancellor; for example, transportation and communications, foreign affairs, justice and the army, and the economy). The main architecture here is Neo-Gothic, Neo-Baroque, and Neoclassicism; there are also Art Deco and similar styles. People here walk around in classical dress and clothes that match the aesthetics and atmosphere of the 1910s. The German Empire (Russia) built bases with permanent human habitation on the Moon, Mars, and several asteroids. The official languages are Russian and German at the all-imperial level, as well as indigenous languages at the level of the countries that make up the empire (countries are republics and regions that were formerly part of Russia; something like states in the United States, but with enormous autonomy as a nation). The basis of the economy is heavy industry, shipbuilding, aircraft industry, automobile industry, machine tool industry, chemical-pharmaceutical industry, railroads. Airships fly everywhere here, streetcars and buses run everywhere, there's a pneumatic subway.
