A Thief, A Warrior, A Novelist, & A Princess

[Charlotte]

Hey guys,

So since everyone else is doing it, I figured I would make an ad for my lovely ladies since, like Val, I figured taking action was better than waiting for the perfect open thread to pop open. Most of the RPers I paired up with when I first started are now either gone or don’t frequent the site nearly as much as they used to. I’m always looking for more people to RP with, so if you have any ideas or you want to pair up for some plot, reply here or shoot me a PM!

Charlotte – 1 open slot

SPOILER: Click to show

Charlotte is by far my most developed character, and she tends to be quite the busy bee. She’s a “private consultant,” which is her euphemism for being a thief, smuggler of stolen goods, black-market merchant, among other things. While she likes to work alone, she will work with people she finds endearing or tolerable to be around. She’s also a part of SS, though really in name only now (as in she’ll use the guild as a means for her to connect with someone she liked working with). She avoids conflict and has never killed anyone, so if you’re looking for a killing spree she’s probably not the best partner for that. She’s smart and likes to tackle things logically, but she can be overcome by her emotions (even if she doesn’t know how to deal with them properly). Finally, she’s a flirt and a lush, so flings and things of that nature are not off limits.

For Charlotte, I’m really looking to pair her with anyone who can help to continue developing her, fleshing out her out etc. Maybe a rivalry with someone who keeps screwing up her jobs so much that she’s forced to have a conflict with them. Another option could be taking a job together, or even taking a job from another character. Hell, you can have her steal something from you if you’d like. As long as it makes sense, it would be totally kosher.

Riva Harel – 2 open slots

SPOILER: Click to show

Riva’s probably my hardest to pair with others, mostly because she’s an Etrurian High Officer. She had a family, but her husband was killed in the Battle of Ostia, and she hasn’t seen her now-teenage children since they were very young. She’s a fervent believer in St. Elimine and the Prophet’s message, and she’s wholly dedicated her life to the military and the battalion she is at the head of. She rarely takes leave from her post as she’s so hands-on, but when she’s forced to by her commanding officer she likes to lie low and read for a few days.

Riva would likely best serve as an antagonist, given she’s part of the big bad Etrurian machine. Want to snoop around and steal something from an Etrurian battalion? Sure thing! Need someone to Scooby-Doo chase you at the border? Riva’ll do it. Want to captured and interrogated and then valiantly escape! Riva will antagonize the sh!t out of you! Of course, if you’re an Etrurian, you may just want to talk politics or hang out with her when she’s on her rare leave, and that’s also an option.

Nora – 2 open slots

SPOILER: Click to show

Nora is the last living blood relation to the Etrurian royal family, and as such, she is technically a princess. However, she is anything but that. Loud, rude, and mouthy, Nora is a firebrand and an opinionated little twerp who just wants to see the world and explore. She’s traveling with Edward currently, as he is bringing her back to Etruria after being in hiding since the Prophet overthrew the monarchy in Etruria.

If you’re a troublemaking teen/young adult and don’t mind a shrimp like Nora running around with you, that would be an ideal scenario for her. Lycia will be the ideal location choice since she’ll be traveling through to get to Etruria, and she’s going to be constantly trying to get away from Edward because she’s a rebellious teen. As long as you don’t mind Edward eventually chasing us down, she’s a good fit for anyone as spunky, if not more, than her.

Johanna – 2 open slots

SPOILER: Click to show

Johanna is my lovely serial novelist, who after 7 years in a convent, is now roaming every which way she can in search of the next idea for a story. She writes under the pseudonym Hanne Clark, and if you’re a Lycian noble you may actually be familiar with her work, as her serials are all the rage within the courts. She’s very curious and a bit of a babbler, but she loves to learn and always seeks out people she thinks would have interesting stories behind them. She’s also a hopeless romantic, but she’s never kissed a man, like ever.

Johanna is the most malleable of my ladies. Are you on an adventure? She’ll tag along so she can write about a land she’s never been to! Do you dress kind of funny and practice dark arts? She’ll want to get to know you and quiz you about your life, no doubt! She’s also interested in the Bern rebellion as she’s thinks it is an absolutely romantic idea, so she wouldn’t be opposed to seeing it evolve first hand (and maybe even helping out, if she had to).

Alright! I'mma just throw up a few ideas for you. Let's see what sticks and if none of them sticks, well I tried.

Riva - I'm actually interested in a more friendly relationship with the character. I do have an Etrurian, she just happens to have run off to become a pirate. Her origins are that of a rather successful merchant family. She can be an extremely well educated young woman and an avid reader, if she chooses to be, but has spent quite a few too many years surrounded by ruffians. Her parents had been trying to bring her back home with their resources, but with the current restrictions, it had been rather difficult. Not to say that she hates her parents, the whole working within laws are a headache.

So my questions would be, only one needs to be answered:
1. How much influence is it gonna cost to force her back into Etruria?
2. Would it work better if she tries to sneak in for a visit?
3. What's the latest hip book to read?

I can also see this working out oddly with Johanna. I'm sure there is a romantic story in here somewhere.

In a similar vein, I have a Etrurian character as well. An operative at that, also in the inquisitional army. Zerachiel, who's not actually all that developed as a character in honesty. Most of his posts are from before when he was undercover as a different character. I've been wanting to try to do more with him, and I feel like he's in a similar "needs to be the antagonist of a thread" type situation. Which isn't too easy since most threads don't have plotlines that lend itself well to such a thing. So maybe they could work together on a mission of sorts.

He's also an assassin, and maybe could meet with Charlotte and hire her for a mission. Would she be willing to commit light treason? I'm sure there's plenty of important things laying around that would be of great importance and quite useful in Etruria's hands. Just as I'm sure there's plenty of things he might want smuggled between countries. I tried to do this with Mel once a while ago, but I dropped it because I'm 2slow to actually post sometimes. Perhaps the mission could cause a conflict that you want to see, or maybe it's completely without a hitch, or maybe he swoops in and kills the owner of whatever place you're pilfering and leaves you to take the fall because he's kind of a jerk. Just some ideas.

Solomon's already potentially partnering up with Nora in the future times, but maybe once that becomes official he can sneak off with her when she goes on her grand adventures.

Johanna and Iadra might get along, or well they might not. I mean I could see it, Johanna was from a convent and Iadra is basically a Belmont an estranged former noble's daughter from Etruria, who lived her last few years in a convent as well. Who knows, maybe she's read one of those books as well, if they're all the rage with Lycian nobles then I could see her reading it herself to try and recapture that feeling of nobility she once had when she was younger.

Sent PMs to both of you, =D Thanks guys!

[Donovan]

My character is a mercenary, who's looking for work, if your Johanna is looking for a body guard with a silver tongue and very little fighting experience, I think that the two of them could have quite the adventure.
