ADDITIONAL INFO

i put a spell on you. — A representative from the Magaesterium looking to woo Meera to join their ranks as a student. Meera is utterly absorbed with her cartography and history hobbies and has not taken to her magic, yet. At the moment she is refusing to attend, much to her sister’s dismay. The connection may be interested in Meera’s abilities for their own selfish reasons, out of curiosity, their loyalty to the Magaesterium, whatever reasons to be completely honest! Someone please take advantage of this idiot nerd.  

your obedient servant. — Meera is fairly far down the line of succession, however she is still a Guillory and privy to some private matters. This connection would be a lady-in-waiting, lady’s maid, chauffeur, whatever who was looking to glean Guillory/Midlands secrets from Meera. She’s a perfect target if only for her naïveté and tendency to blather. Her passion lies in her hobbies and thinks most of the crown’s problems are not that important… again, she’s an idiot nerd, please someone take advantage of her spaciness.  

everything interests me but nothing holds me. — Meera is somewhat clueless when it comes to romantic endeavors. She may be used to politically align her family with another through marriage in the future but it is not something she often thinks about. Outside a potential betrothal, it could be cute to have someone interested in her and she just has no idea. Bonus points if she doesn’t even realize she returns those feelings. Angst could follow if she does end up getting engaged for political reasons. (EVEN MORE BONUS POINTS IF THIS PERSON IS ALSO THE “YOUR OBEDIENT SERVANT” CONNECTION)  

OPTIONAL INFO

Following the Eclipse, Meera was one of the people who was gifted with new magical abilities due to the influx of magical phenomena, specifically illusion magic. Nose in a history book, when Meera rose from the pages she found a crude blueprint of a Vailen castle wavering before her. Her handle on the magic is shaky. Her illusions depend on her knowledge of and familiarity with the image she wishes to conjure. Her sister has been urging her to go to the Magaesterium to strengthen her ability but Meera has little interest in anything outside of her maps and history books. As of right now, her magical abilities are not well known but I’m sure she’ll get into some predicament where she accidentally exposes herself.  

Her sobriquet derives from her growing notoriety as a cartographer. As Meera never imagined she would inherit the throne, she threw herself into her studies and resigned herself to an ordinary life — or as ordinary a life a princess can lead. From a young age, she showed promise in art and history. Her tutors expected her to lean into art history but maps were what sparked her passion. She has dedicated herself to her craft and is often absorbed with it, sometimes not even hearing someone while she’s working when they’re trying to get her attention.

Anyway, take a shot every time I say Meera is obsessed with maps.

Additional Info/Wanted Plots

Are you my brother? It is speculated that Romil had illegitimate children outside of his marriage with Chandra. The deceased lord was known as a friend to humans. And to some, he was even more. So far, none of the presented claims of paternity have been true. However, Herik is aware that there is a chance that he has at least one half sibling. He has not made any attempts to find/discover them. [Possible unknown illegitimate half-Vae siblings; fc(s) must be at least ½ Gujarati Indian]

We are still family. House Lucelwen and House Lavathren are brother houses that still co-govern the Twingate area. Despite their obvious difference in beliefs when it comes to humans and democracy, Herik still holds onto the ideas of his father that both houses are still two branches of the same tree; that together, they are one people. Herik does not make light of this tie and when elected by the Vae of his isle, he agreed to progress the agenda of his father in that regard.

Ye Old(e) Days. Prior to his election, Herik served as a captain mariner. Specifically, under Romil’s charge, Herik aided in retaining the traffic brought into southern Vailen surrounding Meriwen’s coastline and maritime boundaries. In addition, he traveled on his father’s behalf and has built relationships with humans with the intent to establish a path for permanent peace.

In his earlier years, Herik moon-lighted as a trader/merchant. It helped with his commission to build and maintain relationships for his father/house.

These relationships include possible unsavory individuals.

Being from Meriwen, Herik does not see humans, or any others that are not Vae, as subpar or below him. To Herik, they are just different. It is not uncommon for Herik to entertain other liaisons with them as well. He is his father’s son, after all. Also young.

A Murder in Meriwen. Compared to other pure blooded Vae, Romil died young. He was almost 4300 years old. His death was an unexpected surprise to all. Particularly, his family. During the nomination of Herik to be elected in his father’s old Lordship, a tri-fold of speculation circulated. One was that Romil was murdered - likely by the rebels. The other was that it was Herik whom had a hand in his father’s demise. The third was that Lady Chandra, not her son, was involved in the plot of Romil’s untimely end. The prevailing rumor, however, was the former and it was also what Herik suspected himself. It is a truth that he seeks to unearth.

Special Info: Herik practices aerokinesis magic, is a trained swordsman and a former mariner captain.

THREE PLOTS

While he tends to treat his magical abilities as mere entertainment - and to make much of how stunted they are, as a result of his being denied proper training as a child - Sev’s more capable than he acknowledges. Perhaps not in magics that the magaesteriums value, but he’s a natural diviner, with a rare knack for not only perceiving the future, but looking into the past. His powers could have some real use in the world… if he bothered to use them for more than party tricks. I’d love to connect him to other magical practitioners of all sorts, each with their own ideas of what magic is “for.” It’d also be fun to give him a reason to more properly develop his abilities, under someone’s mentorship.

Sevren has roamed through just about every known continent at some point over his travels, making many friends and enemies. Of course, he’s also made a lot of stories, and is much-whispered about in the courts whenever he drops by for one of his enigmatic appearances. In theory, he has just about everything one could hope for, in a diplomat - except, of course, any interest in the job. He’s been utterly devoted to his fairly self-centred, scandalous life for decades, and doesn’t intend to change. This was made quite clear by his rather shocking refusal of the dukedom, when his elder brother passed away unexpectedly; it’s that which put the duchy in his niece’s hands, and, frankly, Sev has no qualms at all about that. She was always his favourite relative, anyway. But what do his noble peers think of all that rank irresponsibility, wasted potential, and incorrigible scandal? As he settles back into Elysi for a longer than usual stay, what place will he find for himself, and with who?

Sev’s drifted back to Ravencliff and the courts of Elysi often over the years, but never with much urgency. That didn’t really change when he heard news of rebellion brewing. He’s never borne the crown any real ill will, personally, but he also doesn’t imagine he’d be much use to them, should all this come to violence. Well, more violence. Even if he’s spent a great deal of time among the common people of the kingdom, and could perhaps stretch to understanding some of their grievances, he knows he’s not one of them. Meaning their crusade, ultimately, is against him as well. Isn’t it? I’m curious to see how people push and pull at him, in relation to the rebellion. Let’s find out!

MAGIC ETC.

I thought it might be fun if Sev had a bit of magic to him that was discouraged when he was a boy, by practical Seaworth parents; for a time, he did his best to deny his gifts, to try and please them. As he grew older, he wandered broadly in the interests of learning about the craft in his own way, from hedgewitches. He was an eager student, but to this day, mostly treats his magic as a hobby - more personal amusement and intellectual curiosity than any sort of calling.

Sev’s best known for his PSYCHOMETRY - the ability to glimpse the past of an object on touch - and DIVINING, by (in descending order of preference) birds, the ocean and shoreline, palms, cards, saltwater and smoke, and entrails. He’s also quite quick to connect to RAVENS, and fondly visits the resident conspiracy whenever he stops by the family estate.

As a child, his psychometry was so sensitive and uncontrolled that he took to avoiding touching unfamiliar objects, and wearing leather gloves, when there was no avoiding contact; he’s maintained the gloves, as this particular ability is still a bit unpredictable.

Sevren only discovered that he’s got some elvish blood in him - the result of an affair, his mother’s - while abroad in Vailen. This is, he suspects, part of why his mother didn’t want to see him off to a magaesterium for proper magical training; what if they sussed out her secret, somehow? It does explain a few things, but he’s yet to tell his family. Not out of shame, or anything. Just doesn’t seem terribly important.

DON’T THEY CALL [HER] THE [FEARLESS AND RESOURCEFUL RED LIONESS]? I’VE HEARD THEY’RE ALSO [CALCULATING AND UNYIELDING] THOUGH. DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT BUT THEY DO LOOK AN AWFUL LOT LIKE [JAMIE CHUNG].

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Sparring Partner: Seline is fairly competitive, always trying to better herself. This would be some what of a rival of sorts or someone Seline spars with from time to time when she has a break away from her duties.

A Close Confidant: This would be a dear friend of Seline’s whom she trusts completely. They would have known her for years or even most of her life. They would be like her best friend and she will do anything to protect them.

A Political Engagement: Seline is currently seeking a betrothed- preferably someone from aristocracy, but not from a family that is powerful or a player. Seline has the constant worry that one of her siblings may try to take her out in order to be closer to the throne. This is why she hopes to align with someone with no political power so that they won’t be a threat to her when she eventually takes over to lead.

Optional Info

Seline Baodai was born as the second child to the Emperor and Empress. While her elder brother, Jeong’s destiny was to inherit the throne, Seline’s was to be the spare. If anything happened to Jeong, she would become the crown princess and be expected to take on all the pressures that came with it. But, for her first six years of her life, Seline was solely in her brother’s shadow. She was to know her place and not speak out of turn. While the Crown Prince received their father’s adoration and praise, the little girl would stumble after her older sibling, trying desperately to impress him.

The two young heirs were thick as thieves despite being constantly compared. But, that was before Jeong fell ill. The Crown Prince whom was suppose to inherit Loqoala and lead their people passed away when Seline was merely a child. He was too young and he left this world too soon. The memory of the perfect son and the responsibilities in turn fell upon Seline’s shoulders.

Before the young Prince’s body could even grow cold, Seline was thrown into her studies and she was a natural at that, quickly taking to all matters of the sword and scroll with ease. She had a mind for strategy, quickly grasping Loqoala’s favor system and beginning to use it for her own advantage. She was incredibly focused, hard-working and disciplined. She thrived during her time in the navy even becoming a Captain. She had the physical attributes of a warrior and the curious mind of a leader. And yet, as much as she tries to earn her father’s praise and be worthy for the crown, she always feels like she turns up short- never quite living up to the image of the son they had lost all of those years ago.

Not only does Seline have to live up to image of the fallen Prince, but she also had to be wary of her own family. Her younger siblings are greedy and power hungry. They want to become the heir and will do whatever it takes to obtain it. Seline grew up constantly watching her back, having survived many the attack on her own life from that of rival countries and her own relatives living under the same roof.

She often keeps people at a distant, preferring to move around House Baodai with limited guards and only close staff who she trusts. She also has her fair share of spies collecting information for her, especially on that of her siblings.

The Demisexual Empress has never given herself much time to focus on romance, with all of her energy being put towards becoming a great leader. But, the pressure is rising for her to find a betrothed, especially with her younger sister already with child. This is why she hopes to align with someone politically whom will not be power hungry enough to want to intrude on her future rule or become a threat like that of her siblings.

As for her family, I was hoping for to have a handful of younger siblings [at least two younger sisters (on of which is married with child) and a younger brother)] as well as of course her deceased older brother NPC Jeong Baodai

I was also wondering if there is any chance I can make her mother the Empress deceased? I think it would make a lot of sense with her backstory, since her father the Emperor would still be alive and she would have his sole approval weighing on her shoulders (that and I think it could really play into the whole her siblings have tried to kill her in the past to get her out of the way angle)

Additional Info

[curiosity is a dish best served with others] - At her core, Willamina is inquisitive and willing to learn all she can about different religions and magic and legends. She’s definitely a bookworm but she loves to experience the world and learn from it. Anyone who’s studied at different magaesteriums and temples could have crossed her path.

[i can’t help it that i’m so popular] - While she might be extremely interested in learning about things and history and the past, she’s also not going to sit around and ask someone questions so that they can grow “closer”. She’ll be interested in people’s stories as much as she’s interested in any history but she also doesn’t consider it truly worth her time to put herself out there for many people. In some ways, in many ways, she considers herself better because she’s studied so hard. She definitely could have offended different people in the past by acting rather haughty about things.

[they all blend together] - As a priestess, it is her duty to uphold the basic tenants of the infinite three. Those being Kata, Moruk, and Varis. Luckily, they tend to be fairly loose and tolerant gods according to the legends told about them. Their basic tenants include things like living life to their fullest as Kata would wish, honoring Moruk and dedicating the first crop of the season to him, spending their summers basking naked under Varis’ sun. She’s likely come across many people at different parties and other events dedicated to these three, or other gods.

Optional Info

More about Willamina:

Mina is one of Randulf Drengot’s bastards that was sired sometime between the death of his first wife and the first few months of his marriage to his second wife. She was born of a union between him and a priestess in Juaqoan and she grew up wanting to be more like her mother but keeping in touch with her father.

where the loyalties lie — win loves her people and her clan, but there was no question she’d always been a black sheep, precisely the reason she refused to become the next shaman. she finds herself now hundreds of leagues from the only place she’d even called home with empty pockets and a fearsome sense of allegiance she’s considering offering to the highest bidder.

until the debts are paid — a serious debt is owed, either by winmylla or your muse, and it’s a price that must be paid in full. one way or another.

don’t forget me when you go — despite the fact win was the daughter of the chieftain and the shaman, it’s didn’t help her make any friends. if anything, it probably only made matters worse, but there was one member of the clan who didn’t seem didn’t care how peculiar she was or how she always seemed to be getting herself into trouble. perhaps these two have been staying in touch with letters since her departure or perhaps they had joined her

Optional Info

more on winmylla:

Win is also a mage herself but it’s not exactly a secret she uses her gifts irresponsibly and for her own pleasure, despite the repeated scoldings she received from her mother growing up. her mother, and their clan as a whole, believed magic was a sacred gift that ought be cherished; win simply wished to cherish her gifts in a different way. which a main factor as to why she left the valley. the two forms of magic she practices are umbrakinesis and hydrokinesis, though she still had much to develop with the latter.

the wildling has spent pretty much her entire life never having known what she considers the finer thing and now that she’s gotten a taste for it, she has no plan of giving them up now. if anything, it’s only promoted her to work harder so that one day it might her who lives in the lap of luxury.

more about the tribe:

Shadow Valley, as it’s known to the local clan, is the vast mountain range and forest between the elven cities of Donerel and Arelwen. The people of this clan have resided there for centuries learning long ago that anything they could possibly need could be provided for by the earth.

They’ve always done their best to steer clear of outsiders traveling through the valley from one city to another enjoying the peaceful isolation the natural fortifications have provided them.

Winmylla’s mother is the first human shaman the clan has has in several centuries and many in the primarily elven clan have mixed feelings over this fact, despite the great power she possesses. though it most certainly has something to do with the recklessness of her only child and the way win seemed to turn her back on their ideals.

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Additional Info

HEART OF STONE: This is any sort of make-shift family for Samara. It could be her actual son or daughter whom she has been keeping an eye out for all the time. It could be another criminal that she grew close to (a partner-in-crime of sorts) or an old buddy from the time she was hired as a mercenary for the military. It could be her actual family (brothers, sisters, parents etc.) from before she was kidnapped whom have come back into her life after all this time.

DON’T LOSE UR HEAD: This would have been someone Samara had been hired to kill, but wasn’t unable to go through with it for some reason or another. Either your character could have resonated with her and she let them go (keeping in contact and looking after them ever since) or your character could have fought back and got the upper hand on her (now she could still be hunting them down/tries to kill them every time she sees them).

ALL YOU WANNA DO: Someone who hires her to help them achieve any of their goals. Could be a rebel who needs her to take out someone or just sneak into a place that otherwise seems impenetrable or it could be a noble trying to track down someone or something of value to them.

Optional Info

Samara’s had no memory before the blade. The feeling of a sword in her tiny little grip. The weighted end in her hand brought a sense of comfort back before the girl was even given a name. The criminals who took in her and raised her told the little elf that they had found her casted aside on the streets. They told her she had been on the brink of death. They told her they had saved her and given her a second chance at life. But, as she quickly realized she couldn’t trust them. More signs pointing to Samara being kidnapped as a small child than anything.

But, whomever she was kidnapped from, they certainly seemed to be wealthy. Wealthy enough for her captors to keep her alive and hold her for ransom that was never paid. So, they found other uses for the small girl now left in their care. They taught her low end form of magic and utilized her divinations to get themselves out of trouble. She was a tough kid, a quick learned and even more skilled fighter. From a look out to a mercenary, Samara made her name for herself as a ruthless killer, traveling near and far to fulfill any hit job for the highest bidder.

That’s when she met Nikolai. It was an easy job. Get in and get out. But, as she terminated her target, she found herself gazing into the eyes of a man who seemed to see right through her. A man she’d find herself meeting again and again, slowly creeping his way into her heart.

Nik was the first person she ever truly allowed herself to trust and the only man she ever loved. They inspired each other and pushed each other to be greater. They traveled the world together. While, he was taking his early creations to generals and commanders, she was fighting along side them with the weapons he had made.

And as his single-man operation evolved into the most formidable arms dealership in Vailar, she honestly allowed herself to believe they could settle down. They got married and had three beautiful children. For a moment, they were happy. That was until their daughter died. Their oldest wanted to follow in her footsteps and although she knew better she obliged. Samara had spent her entire life working for the most part alone, but one time she made an exception, she ended having to carry her daughter’s limp body home in her arms.

Nik blamed her for their child death and she blamed herself. She was a solider. A fighter. A hollow shell of a being. And no much she tried to convince herself otherwise, she wasn’t cut out to be a mother or a wife. So, when she had a vision that she’d once again be responsible for another person she cared about’s death- she did the knew left to do. She packed up and left.

Samara’s dream predicted that on the job she was already neck deep in, her target would get the upper hand. They’d figure out she was after them and instead of waiting for her to make move, they would attack her in her own home. Nik would try to stop and lose his life in the process.

She knew it was prediction and that fates weren’t set in stone. But, she couldn’t risk it. She had lost too much already so she left him and her remaining children a note. She told them not to look for her and that she’d be back as soon she could get herself out of the mess she found herself in.

As predicted, the target did come after her. But, when they finally attacked, she was far away from her family. They were safe and she somehow made it out alive. Even if she did leave with a wound across her left side that has never quite healed right.

She came back for her family, but by the time she did years had passed. She stood outside the fortress that once was her home and took in her husband smiling face for what seemed like ages. Her family was more than just safe. They were happy without her. And in that moment, she chickened out, convincing herself they were better off without her. Now, Samara lives fairly simple live, sticking to the streets and the shadows as much as possible.

Samara likes to keep to herself. She is a woman of few words whose ambitious to no end. She is not a rebel even though she has done just as many jobs for them as she has for the nobility. She’s a woman with a few alliances. She also has a sarcastic and sometimes dark sense of humor.

But, deep down, she misses her family more than anything. There is little she would not do to protect her blood even if it means protecting them from herself. As long as those she cares about are safe, she has little value for herself and her own wellbeing.

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Additional Info:

A Class Above: To Priya, she was born to privilege for a reason. And anyone else in her station was too. She likes to surround herself with other wealthy, powerful people and ones who can influence society and the world like she can. She doesn’t necessarily think the commonfolk are bad or “lesser”, she just recognizes and accepts that society has a class system and she was just born to the easier one.

Guild-ed and companionable: Priya would love some merchant contacts and people to do business with. Her main focus is on luxury goods like furniture, rugs, tapestries, but also jewelry and weapons. She needs contacts who are willing to supply enchantments on the jewelry and weapons and others who are willing to buy her goods.

Not so love-birds: Priya has accepted that in order to further the Khagan name, she needs to get married. She’s escaped it so far because of her siblings getting married, but if she has a betrothal to someone already that would be ideal, especially if they’re both a little hesitant about it.

Additional Info

Calling All Rebels: A plot open to any and all rebels/rebellion connections. Like-minded people who believe in the rebellion’s purpose to building a better world. These connections can range from alliances to silent rifts within the rebellion. Leo is cocky and a risk taker who is loyal to his best friend Theo. Your character could find Leo amusing, feel like he threatens exposure, or disagree with his reasoning for joining the rebellion in the first place.

Slippery Fingers: Leo is someone who slips in and out of places unnoticed. The man wears many hats- sometimes dressing up like a Court Jester while other times appearing as a Manservant or a wandering Thespian (He typically has one disguise per place he visits while thieving or doing stuff for the rebels, although in Glasswater he often just wanders around as Theo’s friend). Your character could have caught him stealing something while in one of these disguises or stumbled upon him in a different disguise than they encountered him in before.

Once Upon a December: Someone who either knew him back at his time at the North when he was training to be a knight or someone who knew him from those first few years when he was living on the streets. They could have helped drag him into the life he’s in now, try to help him or let him figures things out on his own, but either way they would have seen a much more vulnerable side to him than the con-man he is now.

Optional Info

Leo at first glance comes across as the type whose is always out for himself. He is a quick-witted and backstabbing thief- cracking jokes and spilling sarcasm at every turn. He’s a goofball who doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. He can be arrogant and even seem cowardly at times, choosing to run from guards and law enforcement when his sticky fingers get him in tricky situations. He is money driven and seems like the type to toss aside any form of dignity he has for the right price.

But, Leo uses his confident and mischievous exterior as a false sense of optimism for the thief his highly vulnerable deep down. When he was living as a street rat for a period of time, he’d sometimes give his rations of food to the children who seemed to need it more than he did. Leo also isn’t one to turn down a challenge or a fight. He’s loyal to those he feels have earned his respect and, he only holds people at a distance, because he believes that love is as much of a fraud as he is.

Leo impersonates many different odd jobs from pretending to be a court jester to servant to a thespian etc. in order to sneak and out of where ever he pleases and swipe one’s valuables when no one’s looking

Leo was born the second son of Lucien and Lisbeth Erickson. His older brother Lucan was his father’s pride and joy. Immediately, the old man started to train Lucan for Knighthood. It was a family tradition. All of the Erickson men had always been loyal to the Northlands as knights. They would all lay down their lives for the sake of the Royal family and their home. And Leo was intended to follow suit. But, the knights code of chivalry didn’t seem to be engrained in Leo’s bones like it had been his older brother.

Leo was a curious child who had a tendency to ask questions and talk back. He had trouble following orders and would often act of line. But, despite his rebellious tendencies, he still looked up to his brother. There still wasn’t a second thought he would become a knight and for the most part, the two were thick as thieves growing up.

But, then their mother vanished into the night. Lisbeth had been a handmaiden to House Desrochers before she had gone missing. Most believed that she fled or worse. While, Lucan didn’t give up hope in finding her, Leo started to question what was the point of it all?

Their mother devoted her life to the Royal Family. Leo remembered spending hours as a child playing in the servants quarters with his mother warning him to stay out of sight and not wander the halls. It sometimes felt like she spent more time with the Desrochers than she did with them and for what? Whether she ran off or if something happened to her, she was servant at the end of the day. She was a nobody and she was expendable.

Leo watched his brother obsess over this need to find her and his dad close himself off from life. Their father never remarried and turned all of his thoughts onto his boys rather than himself just to get by. Leo watched his mother’s disappear rip apart his family while the nobles his ancestors and the Ericksons before him swore their lives to protect continue on as if it was nothing.

So, while Lucan continued his training to become a knight, Leo gave up. He no longer believed in their family tradition and no want to uphold a code defending a family he didn’t deem was worth losing his life over.

Leo packed up and left the North just like the rumors said his mother had. It was only fitting really. Lucan had always taken after his father, while Leo resembled his mother in practically every way.

When Leo skipped out on them, Lucan and him remained in touch. They’d exchange letters from time to time and keep up as Leo traveled the world, purposely leaving out all the details that he knew would make his family worry or look down upon him for his new of way of life. But, for Lucien, Leo skipping out on them was like losing his wife all over again. The man completely cutting Leo out of his life for not wanting to follow in their family’s footsteps.

Lucan lead a ‘good’ life path. It was something to aspire to, and it worked for him. While Leo went a different way. He struggled for the first years. Joining the knights would have been simple and he would have been given what few comforts he was used to, while trying to make a new life for himself posed to be more difficult. Leo lived on the streets for the first few years, shacking up with the wrong crowds and doing what he had to, to survive. And as more and more time passed, the once future turned into a theft and a fraud. He joined the rebels, no longer wanting to uphold or feed into a system that was filled with inequality in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Leo is a cunning charlatan who plays whatever part he needs to, to get ahead.

DON’T THEY CALL [HIM] THE [WEALTHY AND BRILLIANT ARMS DEALER]? I’VE HEARD THEY’RE ALSO [UNRELIABLE AND SELF-SERVING] THOUGH. DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT BUT THEY DO LOOK AN AWFUL LOT LIKE [BOYD HOLBROOK].

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Additional Info

If we lay a strong enough foundation, we’ll give it all to you: His son and/or daughter, whom Nikolai is molding in his image. Despite his reputation, he is known to their family as doting and patient with his children. His child (likely a couple hundred years, or even a full millenium younger) would be part of his business, or be pursuing an education at a magaestarium.

You’ll be back, like before. I will fight the fight, and win the war: A business partner of Nikolai’s that has abandoned his business. Either, due to his illegal business activities, or to strike out on their own. Either way, Nikolai would take offenses to this transgression and made it his personal vendetta to enact revenge on your muse.

He will never be satisfied: The mother of one, or both, of his children. Their companionship would likely fall apart due to Nikolai’s business endeavors, or her discomfort with the risks his business takes. An exes plot that can be worked out!

Optional Info

Nikolai is a mage, with his abilities primarily in telekinesis and the enchantment of weaponry

Currently, his business enterprise makes him one of the wealthiest, self-made men in Vailar – with contracts with nobility and the rebellion alike

I’VE HEARD THEY’RE ALSO [RESERVED AND A WANDERER] THOUGH. DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT BUT THEY DO LOOK AN AWFUL LOT LIKE [NICOLE BEHARIE].

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Additional Info

Plots w/ fellow dragonkin - compared to the other dragons, she’s younger and likely less jaded/more hopeful

Former flame - Cressida could have an ex where the relationship was, or could’ve been, serious.

Optional Info

Her dragon name is Elira. Which is not known to many nor has she been called that in half a century by non-dragonkin or dragon riders. Photokinesis is one of her go-to magics.

After the first 50 years of her life, she’d still not bonded and decided to live freely as a human/witch instead and to keep her true identity secret. She became Cressida Lucero, a name chosen to better blend in.

She wears a choker like necklace. It covers the whole column of her neck and is used to hide the patch of scales behind her neck that reveals her true identity. It’s also why she keeps her hair long and wears it down.

Since deciding to live as a human/witch, Cressida purposely did not stay in one place for too long. Mostly to avoid any possible suspicion. She would live around 15-20 years in one location and then move.

She is the founder and owner of the Blue Phoenix Apothecary in Rajayer of Loqoala. While the city is well-known for its naval forces, Cressida thought it would benefit from having an apothecary. Thus far, it has been a success.

It was in Loqoala where she met her bonded human, Annora Amaranthe. That was 10 years ago, Cressida was 121. Nora was 19.

HOLD! WHO GOES THERE? WHY, IS THAT [ KAYLESSA ‘KAYA’ TALAEDRA] THE [LIONESS] OF [LOQOALA]? THEY DO LOOK [INNOCENT] FOR A [ELF WOMAN] OF [894] YEARS. DON’T THEY CALL [HER] THE [HARDWORKING AND DETERMINED MERCHANT’S DAUGHTER]? I’VE HEARD THEY’RE ALSO [BOSSY AND SARCASTIC] THOUGH. DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT BUT THEY DO LOOK AN AWFUL LOT LIKE [INBAR LAVI].

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Additional Info

Since Kaylessa (she prefers to go by Kaya) was born without magic, her father didn’t want to give his business to her. No magic = no power, can’t fight back if something or someone threatens their business, their employees, their people.So she figured out she could hire someone to be her personal mage, to be with her when she needs them. (The details can be plotted out more later)

Someone who works or has worked for her or her father. When she was younger she was usually around her father when he worked. This could be a friendly or not so friendly plot. Could be romantic, could be platonic.

To prove how serious she was about taking over her father’s business, she traveled a lot to learn from others armorers, get ideas for improving their own armor designs or practicality, to look for new, maybe even better materials. Friends/lovers/enemies/frenemies/etc, this could go in different ways.

Optional Info

Kaya’s parents have always lived in Loqoala, it is a good place to live if you’re a merchant.

She’s the only child, her parents already had trouble conceiving her. And on top of that she was born without magic, which deeply disappointed her father, because his wife and he both have magic and he was sure his child would have it too. That’s why from young age Kaya was nothing but a disappointment to him.

Her father started his business selling materials – mostly metal, but also leather. Eventually it grew into making armor and selling it, then – to have his own blacksmiths and armorers making the best product they could.

He hoped to give his business to his descendant one day, if they showed as much interest in this as he did, but he was very reluctant to give it to Kaya even though she showed huge interest in it, a wish to make the best armor over all the lands, have the best materials and travel for them, improve their design and practicality.

For many years she worked hard for it, but she got it. This business, the people working for her - they are like her extended family, she would fight for them, be there for them no matter what.

At the moment there are 12 employees, but if the need for more of the Talaedra’s armor grows, she will hire more.

The business is all legitimate, she doesn’t do shady deals.

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Additional Info:

Deals with the Devil: Yavanna runs a tightlipped ship when it comes to Fahalune. From the outside it would seem that everything is legitimate, but beneath the surface for those in the know, shady deals and seedy business is in abundance. This would be someone who does business with Yavanna.

Fool Me Once: This would be someone that maybe has gone back on a deal, or didn’t honor their side. This would be someone that Yavanna would consider an enemy. This could be someone that may have betrayed her business-wise or even personally.

Friends in high and low places: This would be someone that Yavanna trusts. She may not share family secrets but she would be the best of friends with them. Maybe they’re polar opposites but it works, or maybe they both enjoy the shadier side to life.

Walk on the wild side: Truly being in Yavanna’s world, a world with a criminal underbelly can be intense and even dangerous. This plot can be a variation of things, someone who was formerly there, agreeing to keep her secrets but just couldn’t take being so deep in a world with an undertone of crime could have been platonic or romantic. Or it could be someone that’s in her world now, knowing the intimate details and willing to keep her secrets.

My loyalty for a fee-  He has a goal of trying to further himself in the world, and offers his magic to nobles… for a fee. Selfishly, so that he feels like he has a home or that he belongs.

On the streets of the Red Keep- He grew up on the streets of the Red Keep, an orphan. He has no family, no one that is blood at least. But he has found family, people he trusts. People he calls his brothers and sisters, even though they may not look alike.

You pull me in like the moon does to the seas- The man is a romantic. He wants to wax poetic with the best of them, he falls in love with someone new every day but that doesn’t mean that they’re not special.

Optional Info

Cal is not the name he was born with, but that was a name forgotten long ago. He was born on the streets, and thought he would die on the streets of the Red Keep. The gods didn’t have that in line for him, and blessed him with magic and he was quickly swept off the streets at a young age. For most of his life the  Magaesterium was all he knew, he is loyal to a fault to those who raised him, who saved him.

He has spent the last few years after leaving the Magaesterium to travel the world, offering what services he can offer, which is usually protection. His powers are of light and water, and is proficient in healing magic.

PLOTS THEY’RE INTERESTED IN:

Additional Info

The Piece That Doesn’t Quite Fit- While Estelle is acting as the Duchess, she tries to fit the part of a posed and put-together young lady to the best of her abilities, even if she very often falls short. I’d love for there to be some friends at court that can help her along with everything or even enemies who try to expose the woman’s slip ups.

Night of Debauchery- Estelle occasionally sneaks out disguised as a commoner. It’s one of the few times she truly feels carefree and herself. I’d love for there to be people who know her by her disguise. They’d know her by the name of “Aspen” and could be her drinking buddies, someone who she’s gambled with/played cards with, someone she spent a night with, someone who helped her out of trouble, a pirate who let her hang around the ship at port, a solider who indulged her with their stories etc.

The Family that Lies Together, Stays Together- I’d love for someone to play her half-brother who will eventually take over the Dukedom from her, another one of her half-siblings from the late duke or even family on her mother side whom she’s been kept away from all this time

The Truth is Out- Someone who either knows her secret (the head maid who raised Estelle might have been their mother) or someone who discovers it

A Little Magic Goes Along Way- Someone who she can practice magic with or went to the Magaesterium with

Optional Info

Close family/friends refer to her as Stella

Betrothed to Prince Theo since childhood with pressure mounting on both sides to set a date for the wedding (I spoke to C already about this :) )

The Seaworth Secret: Unlike the rest of her family with their raven black hair, Stella, with her amber eyes and tangled curls, always seemed out of place. Although everyone believes her to be the daughter of the late Duke and Duchess, Stella is actually illegitimate. The only people who know the truth consist of her half-siblings and the head maid who raised her. She never knew much about her real mother growing up, though her father did refer to the woman as a temptress now and again. But, from what she had picked up from the head maid’s thoughts-  it seems Stella’s mother was no more than a ‘common whore’ whom the Duke had plucked off of the street and allowed to be his Mistress for a short while. The betrayal of the Late Duchess is what sent her grace towards an early grave.

Estelle sometimes jokes with her siblings that she is more Seaworth than the rest of them: The illegitimate child clung onto the legend that she was descendant of a pirate growing up. She used to be a bit of a hopeless romantic in that sense and loved the idea that a woman was the one who continued their family line through finding her soulmate no less. As a child, she used to be found spending almost every minute of her free time down by the sea in search of the siren of whom she was a kin to.

Estelle is the “Acting Duchess”, but given the truth about her birth, she knows she will need to forfeit the title to her brother who will step up as the reigning Duke as soon as his nuptials take place. Her brother and her used to be thick as thieves as children, but as they grew up and the weight of politics fell upon them, the pair of siblings began to grow more estranged.

Estelle’s brother was trained to carry on the Dukedom, while Estelle was encouraged to go down a different path. She joined the Magaesterium at a young age, hoping to be gifted in hydrokinesis with her love of the water. But, alas, Estelle was gifted, but in mental magic, once again seeming to prove how un-seaworthy she truly was. The Magi, instead, took to telepathy and telekinesis. Her head constantly overwhelmed with other’s tumultuous opinions of her.

Estelle has always wanted to run off or escape the position she has been born into. She never wanted to be a pawn for marriage. She wanted to be pirate, but seeing how unlikely that seemed, she decided she wanted to run off and join the military- to fight beside her brothers and sisters like the Seaworths were legendary for. But, all of her secret training was in vein, for she was caught and punished accordingly before she could even step foot out of the front door.

Now, that Estelle is older, however, she has developed a knack for sneaking out, disguising herself as a peasant from time to time and immersing herself in the city streets.

Estelle’s older brother, the rightful Duke of House Seaworth has been off either training in the military, the magaesterium, or continuing his studies at a monastery or temple somewhere. This is why she’s been the acting Duchess for a number of years. But as soon as he returns, just shortly before his own wedding, the title will go to him.

Additional Info:

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE ONE PLOT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR: Athanasia is a representative in the Elysi parliament and I would love people working with her on the issues that concern her: the trade, health, and safety of common people and nobles alike. She is very neutral as a politician and takes no sides publicly, claiming her duty is to those she represents–Elysi.

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE ANOTHER PLOT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR: However, in reality she is working behind the scenes to try to find people on the side of the rebels who are more interested in peace or compromise. She is wanting to create a meeting of minds of people who are not so extreme and potentially damaging in her views. She is also doing the same on the side of the nobles, trying to find neutral, peaceful, or at least pro-compromise members of the group. This one is harder for her because she is a popular representative but she was born a commoner and I doubt they have forgotten it despite moving and shaking in the upper echelons for so long and marrying a successful man.

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE ONE MORE PLOT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR: What can I say? I’m only human and my character is a lovely widow of eight years, long past any mourning periods. Perhaps a romance plot of some sort? Hit me up if Lotte Verbeek from The Borgias would be interesting to your character.

Biography:

Athanasia, or Anthy to those close to her, was born to a middle class trading family in the capital city of Elysi. She was the first daughter but all that meant was that she would marry first and had few prospects. However, she always wanted more. That chance came when, after growing into a beautiful woman, she caught the eye of the local Representative, Roland Rocher. He was attracted to her beauty but married her for her strong empathy and sharp wit that took what education she had prior to meeting him and expanded it greatly upon entering a relationship with him (breaking off an engagement but she never told him about that). He passed away three years into their marriage, and she grieved for his loss as she had cared for him as a dear friend and mentor. However, he had begun preparing her to run for a representative position in her own right and she did so, using her black widows weeds to distinguish her as a candidate but also to invoke her husband’s legacy and long career. She won her first election and has kept her position for the past seven years.

However, as a representative and watching the rebels rise, she realizes that this could break out into a full war that could destroy the land. Realizing this, while externally continuing to work on her primary issues of health and trade opportunities for the common people she has internally began trying to find common ground between the rebels and the nobles. She has paid off people on both sides to help her find potential aids to her cause, working to find people who are willing to compromise and not risk an all-out war that will destroy the land and common people alike.
