@Universorum I would say ships, but majority of the people that are part of the ships aren't even here, so that's out.
So, how's the weather?
@Lady Amalthea Well, @SgtEasy did say that he was waiting on a status report from @ChaoticFox, but not too sure what happened after that since the thread just became silent.
It wasn't long after Meenakshi's arrival that royalty started pouring in. After greeting the princess of Aciras, Meena moved on to greet Prince Niklas KΓΆnig, a small smile on her face as she folded her hands in greeting. "It's truly wonderful to meet you, Prince Niklas, I hope we can get along well together while we're here." The princess spoke, politely.
"A pleasure for me as well, Princess Meena! And an absolutely lovely dress- we don't quite have anything to match what we have in KΓΆnigreich der Welten." The girl gave him a brighter smile, feeling proud. "Thank you for your wonderful compliment," Meena said. She was a bit taken aback as the prince tilted closer, his voice growing lower. She laughed, slightly awkwardly at his comment. Ah, I guess you're not going to like me as much then. The princess couldn't help but think.
Just then, one of the Pirate looking guests - Prince Zhou, if her memory served correctly - suddenly began breathing fire. Meena, startled, stepped away almost subconsciously. She knew that she wouldn't get along with him. That was not the correct way a prince should act, the princess immediately disapproved of his behaviour.
With the arrival of Prince Harry, the girl was fine with simply nodding and smiling from where she stood. He didn't seem like he wanted to be disturbed - hell, he didn't seem like he even wanted to be here at all.
Meena headed towards Prince Edwin's direction, greeting him with a smile. "Prince Edwin, it's a pleasure to see you." The girl's smile gradually going as he brought up the rebels. The topic of rebels was one thing she was hoping wouldn't come up. It was wishful thinking, but a wish nonetheless. However, Meena knew she would have to answer, Britannia was one of Aarudhya's many important trading partners. "Thank you for your support, Prince Edwin," The princess bowed her head slightly, a small smile on her face, "should there ever be a problem, I know that my family will call upon yours for support." Slightly surprised at the short goodbye, Meena turned to look at the direction Prince Edwin was once looking at.
'Oh... so that's why he left.'
Dressed up - quite handsomely - in traditional Egyptian attire, was her husband-to-be. Prince Amunemhet, the young playful Prince of Egypt. Meena was only aware of her engagement to the approaching Prince for under six months, the Princess researching as much as possible about her betrothed ever since - to the point of being obsessive, her brother would add.
The butterfly feelings in her stomach returned, and it took all of Meena's strength not to collapse from nervousness right there. 'This meeting will make everything real, it won't be a dream anymore, Meena. You won't be able to wake up and pretend that your engagement was done against your will or knowledge.' The grim thought passed through her mind, terrifying Meena to the core. Of course, the Princess looked composed from the outside, if not a bit surprised, those around her completely unaware of the chaotic thoughts running through her mind.
The Prince stood before her, for the first time the future partners could look at each other. She pressed her hands together in greeting, bowing her head slightly to show respect before relaxing, a small but nervous smile on her face as Meena looked at her future husband with awe. Heat rose up her cheeks as he pressed a gentle kiss to the back of her hand. It wasn't the first time her hand had been kissed, but it certainly was a first for her to be so flustered. Then again, it was her betrothed that was doing so.
"Prince Amunemhet," The Princess responded, equally flustered as the tower of a man in front of her. Her cheeks darkened at his compliment, her mouth opening to respond politely but a small croak came out instead. Meena pressed a hand to her mouth, slightly embarrassed as she chuckled, "I apologise for that, I meant to thank you for your sweet compliment. I don't think I'm quite used to the fact that I'm currently talking to the man I'm supposed to marry." Meena found herself admitting, slightly sheepishly.

Name:
Analise May Arnette
Nickname:
She sometimes goes by Anna, but prefers to be called Analise
Birth Date:
May 16th, 1997
Age:
18
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Relationship Status:
Single
Classification:
Senior
Role:
Prep
In Depth Appearance:
Analise looks like a stereotypical preppy mean girl, with pale cerulean blue eyes and long, perfectly curled dirty blond hair that reaches just past her chest. She stands at the average height of 5'6" and weighing 118lbs, Analise's lean frame is almost a copy of her mother's. Her skin is a fair shade, fairly unblemished thanks to the expensive skin care routine Analise follows.
Analise's style of clothing usually varies. While her priority isn't looking the best, Analise is usually seen dressed in various blouses, skirts or designer jeans. One statement piece that Analise is always seen in is a rose gold, heart shaped locket, gifted by her mother on her fourth birthday. Analise's blonde hair is always styled and organised to perfection, often let down in loose curls or (if she's willing to put the effort) straightened. Since her eyes are her favourite feature, Analise loves to heavily define her eyes with eyeliner and mascara. The rest is usually kept natural, minimum blush and lipsick.
Habits | Quirks | Oddities
Talks to herself
Plays with her locket when nervous
Has a wall full of pictures she's taken since the age of 10
Analise is a very talkative and excitable person. She loves meeting new people and would try her hardest to be their friends. She's highly optimistic, preferring to see the world in rose-tinted glasses. This can easily translate to naivety, since she refuses to see the bad in other people, often resulting with her in a situation she doesn't want to be in.
With her life being easily comparable to a ticking time bomb, the girl prefers to live in the moment rather than think ahead of time. She never has a back-up option, Analise knowing that she may not survive long enough to be able to plan far enough. She lives each day as if its her last, which sometimes means that she takes the wrong - or risky - decisions in life. Analise is not very active. Her condition makes it difficult for her to try any extreme sports, being so exhausted by the end of the day. She prefers to do yoga three times a week, to try and keep her healthy but other than that she doesn't try anything else.
History:
Born to an A-list actress, Georgina Arnette, and an author, Stephen Arnette, little Anna used to be in the media's attention daily. Georgina loved bringing her young daughter out into the public's view, loving how the media and public alike would melt at the mother-daughter duo. The young Arnette always got whatever she wanted, spoilt by both her parents and the media, Georgina and Stephen knew that their precious daughter would be loved by many.
Life changed for Analise at the age of five, when she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis - a genetic conditon that caused a large amount of mucus to clog the lungs. The condition was incurable, and the doctors soon gave Analise a number, seventeen. They said that Analise would most likely only live up to the age of seventeen before succumbing to her ailment. It was then that her mother stopped bringing her out with her to the public, instead sheltering the little girl. Then, Analise never understood what was happening, to her it was like the attention had simply disappeared. The little one knew that something was wrong, but she could never point out what it was.
By the time she was ten years old, Analise had completely disappeared from the media's attention. Instead, Analise was constantly in and out of clinics and hospitals, her parents trying every treatment under the sun for her condition, even if none worked out. For her tenth birthday, Analise was finally told about her condition. The girl was given a camera, so she could document the rest of her life through photography. This is where Analise's love for photography came from. Analise decided then to try and live her life to her fullest, and took up yoga as a hobby to try and improve her physical health, while improving her photography skills.
At her eighteenth birthday, her parents hosted a large party. While the people invited never knew the real reason for such a grand party, Analise was happy to know that she had passed the expectancy. Now that she has reached her final year of high school, who knows what can happen?
Extracurricular Activities:
Analise is a proud artist. While she doesn't roam with their clique, she is a lot more kinder to those in her arts and photography class.
She goes horse-back riding every Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays
Extra:
Favourite song is most probably I Lived - OneRepublic, which actually inspired this character's backstory.
Anything Else:
Family:
Stephen "Donovan" Arnette | Father | 47 | Popular thriller author, Donovan is most known for his popular spy novels. Georgina "Georgie" Arnette (nee Davis) | Mother | 42 | Popular A-list actress Marietta Penelope Arnette | Paternal Grandmother | 70 | Fourth richest Hotel Mongul in the world, worth almost $3 billion in net worth, Penelope owns multiple hotel chains including luxury resorts and even water-parks.

Winston | Her darling puppy | 1
There was a knock on the door that brought the blonde girl out of her thoughts, turning to look over her shoulder to see a woman with a notepad followed by a shorter man with a camera hanging from his neck. Analise could only guess that this was the reporter her mother was talking about earlier - something about trying to bring her back into the spotlight like "the gem she was". Anna disagreed, but there was nothing that would change Georgina Arnette's mind. Ever.
Anna gestured towards the seat in front of her, smiling. "Miss Arnette, we were hoping to ask you about your role in your High School, and what you think about some of the people you go to school with."
Odd, but it wasn't like Anna was used to this sort of situation anyway. She nodded, before asking, "okay, so who first?"
Dominique Saunders
Oh the Queen of the school... Domi's a lovely person. Y'know she's the only one that... knows... about my condition. Heh, funny story really; she was present during the party and figured out that something was wrong. My parents rely on her to keep an eye on me, even if I don't need it, but I truly am grateful for her either way.
Audrey Huntsberg
Audrey is definitely still my best friend, whether she wants to call me her friend is up to her but I will never change my mind. She's someone who I strive to be; confident, cool -- Hell, even sexy for that matter. But I just don't know how to get her to listen to me, to prove I didn't betray her and nor have I done anything with Jackson. I should probably wait before trying to talk to her again...
Alyssa Green
Lyssy! Oh my best friend, she's wonderful isn't she? Sure, she can be a bit rude here and there, or maybe a bit... forward... but overall Alyssa is really nice! We hang around a lot after school-- did you know she lives in a castle too? Lyssy's a real life princess! Oh- sorry, I mean Queen. -giggles-
Jackson Aurum
Despite not being together for very long, Jackson holds a special place in my heart. Sure, our timing is bad and I'm probably way too annoying and a cry baby for him, but he hasn't turned me away yet so things has to be going well, right? But now I have much more concerns to address...
David Powers
Oh my god, Davy is so cute! We met at the Pet Inn and he has a duck! Can you believe that? Sprinkles the Duck -squees- Ahem, anyway... I promised him that I'll find him a friend and a girlfriend, but he's the shy sort so it'll probably take a bit for me to find him the latter...I wonder why David doesn't like talking to new people very much, but I suppose it's just his quirk. At least it looks like he has a friend in the new transfer, Lucky and the blue haired singer~
Lakshya Khanna
I believe he's a new transfer from India. How cool is that!? I would be worried for him, since he's from a different culture and all and I don't want him to be left out and all but I'm sure he's going to fit right in going by how he's getting along with Domi. -giggles- Maybe we're seeing the new King right here~
Troy Blake
I honestly don't know him all that well. I'd only heard rumours, of stories from other people which made e scared to approach him before. But now he's Audrey's boyfriend, so he must have some good, right? Maybe I've judged him too harshly...
Tristan Saunders
Tristan may be Domi's brother, but we don't talk all that often. All I know about him -- things that Domi hasn't said -- is that he hangs around with this other girl, Lilian! I wonder if they have a thing between them?
Lilian Storm
Speaking of which, Lil's super smart too! Y'know, I'm a bit envious of her intelligence-- but don't tell her I said that! Ever since the party Lilith and Tristan seem to be talking less and less, I wonder if something happened? I hope not, Lilith doesn't seem very pleased with the outcome.
Alexandros Mossos
He was Audrey's ex-boyfriend, right? Oh gosh, he seems pretty intimidating to me! He tried asking me out to lunch on the first day back from summer but I had to decline. I wonder why?
Jocelyn Thompson
Gosh we really do have a lot of transfers this year... She seems like a wonderful person, I hope we can be friends!
Evelyn Harding
Does she even go here? I'm sure the name rings a bell...
Donovan Ryder
Uh... Gosh, I'm sorry! I don't quite know who he is. I didn't even know he was a student at our school.
Amity Bellerose
Oh! I've heard her music! It's wonderful!
... wait, what do you mean she's transferring here?
Georgina Durham
Georgina... Georgi... Geo... Aha! The YouTube singer! Hey, at least I recognised somebody! Now, let's see... she's quite the loner, honestly. I haven't seen her interacting with many people, but I adore her blue hair. So cute!
Joo Kyong-Park
Ava Mossos
Mossos... Alexandros' sister? I never realised it before, oh! Um Ava, Ava... she hangs out with a couple of people, again - people I don't quite know of other than their faces but uh... I'm sure she's... wonderful. Yeah, you know what? Maybe I'll approach her tomorrow at lunch and try and get to know her, okay?
Sierra Jameson
There's something about her that scares me... She doesn't seem like that to everyone though, does she hate me? I don't know whether I've insulted her or just... wronged her in any way? I hope I haven't, but if I have then it means I must apologise, right?
Violandrea Banks
I... I don't know how to explain Violandrea. She's not very... nice... at least that is according to the rumours. She's not the sort I'd get along with, so I try not to disturb her.
Bartimaeus Locke
He's... really weird, to put it nicely. He thought that Lyssy and I were together. He called her and I dumb broads, or something to that effect, so my first impression of him is not very pleasant.

Name:
Lakshya Khanna
Nickname:
Lucky
Birth Date:
March 9th, 1997
Age:
Eighteen
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Relationship Status:
Single
Classification:
Senior
Role:
Transfer (maybe later a Thespian)
Occupation:
Actor/employee at his aunt's cafe
In Depth Appearance:
Standing at 6'1 and weighing a respectable 170lbs, Lucky is one of the tallest men in his family. While Lucky isn't very muscular, having a more lean frame instead (inherited by his mother), its obvious that Lucky keeps himself fit and in good shape by regularly jogging in the mornings before going to school. Lakshya's skin is a warm, golden honey tone with few imperfections. Lucky also has short, dark brown - almost black - hair that is usually gelled and styled up daily. Lucky inherited his father's roundish-almond shaped eyes, a deep shade of brown that is framed with dark, thick lashes.
Lucky prefers to dress comfortably on a daily basis. With limited access to funds, he tends to avoid expensive, designer clothing with large price tags. His clothing is still stylish and modern. He doesn't wear traditional suits (kurtas) very often, only donning it during special occasions. It was more common for him to wear kurtas when he lived in India with his parents, with the media constantly following his and his family's every move. Lakshya also tends to keep his facial hair trimmed and neat - looking more like a stubble.
Habits | Quirks | Oddities
Lucky has to blow on whatever he is eating or else he won't eat it
Bites his nails when nervous
Talks to himself as if he's preparing for a TV interview
Lucky is a relatively fun guy to hang around with. He enjoys his fair share of parties and drink just like the next person. He's the type to lend an ear or a shoulder along with the harsh truth, so don't expect sugar-coated words with him. Lucky's confidence in himself and his abilities can come off quite off-putting to those around him, but he doesn't care much for what people have to think about him here.
Lucky's goal to being an actor often clouds the boy's judgement. He doesn't like studying, finding the act to be too boring for him to enjoy the subject. The only subject he excels at is drama and theatre, his love for acting often projected during class. Even though he hates studying, Lakshya makes it a priority to study, no matter what.
Honest to a fault, Lucky's upbringing in a strict and traditional culture vastly different to the one he lives in now has shaped him to be a very honest person. He may be a good actor, but he can't lie in front of those he cares about. His shifty eyes and fidgety demeanour are easy to notice, especially by those who knows him and his personality well enough. Lucky doesn't have much of a filter, often saying it as he sees it. That trait either gains him friends, or scares any potential friends away.
History:
Lucky was born in Mumbai, dubbed the city of dreams. Mumbai was the Hollywood of India, all the movies, glam and fame coming right from the city. The Khanna family has always been known in Bollywood, each Khanna famous in their own right. Vikas Khanna was a popular director, while Sanjana Kumar (now Khanna) was an actress. Both were high on the chain, each having multiple successful films and music videos that is still widely popular to this day. It wasn't until Vikas and Sanjana worked together during the filming of 'Janam Janam' where the two finally grew to care for each other romantically, eventually going on to get married in a very high-profile wedding and eventually settle down together where two years later, Lakshya Khanna was born.
Being from a family of wellknown Bollywood stars, the child was expected to follow in his parents' footsteps and join them in the world of Bollywood once he was old enough. It wasn't long before little Lakshya was part of a well-loved franchise, playing the young protagonist and capturing the hearts of many in India. The popularity of the film had raised expectations of everyone from Bollywood and the media, Lakshya (who was now playfully dubbed Lucky in the media) began taking more roles - whether it be from a TV show or a movie. Lucky was ten when Vikas and Sanjana began hiding Lucky from the public's view, wanting the young boy to focus more on his education and life rather than the harsh life of Bollywood, sending him off to a private boarding school in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
For the next seven years, Lucky was under the care of strict teachers and instructors. There, education was the priority - students were only to study and take part in one extracurricular activty (which was usually something related to sports or dance, depending on gender). It didn't matter that Lakshya was the child of two very influential people, only education mattered. Lakshya's love for acting and fame was forced to be supressed, and that was painfully obvious when one would view Lucky's report card. Lakshya never excelled in the classroom, being either average or somewhat good in a handful of subjects - one being drama. During one summer when Lakshya was back home, it was finally decided that he would move to California to live with his aunt, on the condition that if he graduated as one of the top students in his year group, Lucky would be allowed to return to a life of fame and acting. This proved to be a good motivator, as Lucky was packed up and ready to leave that very night.
Now, Lakshya stays with his modest aunt, who owns a small but comfortable cafe. He doesn't have any access to the family funds, driving the young adult to work at his aunt's cafe to pay for the clothes and anything he wants. It's a struggle, but Lakshya is willing to do anything to return to his dream of acting.
@HushedWhispers Finally completed my CS! I might need to change her personality a bit, but I think I got the basics down.
