@DisguisedDemonYes, they definitely would know each other. It wouldn't be surprising if Lili had met some of the other characters at court functions in the past.

Sound and Fury

So, where should we post our provisional character sheets?

Slysari (Interest check/Signup)

Name: Aeola Ithilwen
Race: Elf (Possible elemental ancestry)
Gender: Female
Appearance: Exceedingly slim, with pale skin, white hair and grey-blue eyes. Looks like she might literally blow away in a stiff breeze.
"It's just how I am. I forget to eat sometimes."

Picture

Class: Sorceress
Job: Wandering enchanter
Weapon of choice: Lightning magic, or an oak staff inlaid with Elven text in copper
"It's an old prayer, to call the rain. The copper is to catch the lightning it brings."

Personality: Aeola seems to be halfway in a dream most of the time. Unless something demands her focus, she drifts off into thought. When something does catch her interest, however, she proves to be very lively and quick-witted.
"Hm? I was watching the clouds. There's something about the way the moon lights them up."

Background: "There's nothing there I care to tell. I've wandered the roads and forest paths for centuries now, and I see no reason to stop."

Other information: Aeola keeps a screech owl named Palantiriel ("Pala" for short) as a pet/ traveling companion.

Personality
Lili is a girl with two distinct personas: One that she shows to the kingdom at large and one she keeps between herself and her most trusted friends.

In public, Lili is a flawlessly trained diplomat and social butterfly, mixing easily with people from all nations and walks of life. She uses her voice both to charm new acquaintances and to command the attention of entire rooms through the power of song. The only inconsistency in her "perfect" demeanor lies in her love of luring others into making conversational faux pas, or revealing their secrets.

In private, however, Lili could easily be mistaken for a military recruit. She spends much of her free time studying military history and strategy, or practicing with longsword and bow. She resents being unable to hone her martial prowess more openly, but channels her frustration into training rather than challenging the status quo.

History:
Lili was born into a minor noble family, flush with gold but poor in influence. Both her father, Duke Giraud Adelin, and her mother, Duchess Jacqueline Adelin, were relentless in their pursuit of a better position within Freyea's nobility. To this end, they groomed Lili for court life from the moment of her birth, the day of which saw truly legendary festivities funded by the proud parents.

While she was provided with the best upbringing money could buy, Lili was more interested in tales of knights and heroism than those of courtly romance. She made a habit of slipping away from her governess to play at combat with the servant children on an almost daily basis. Her parents discouraged such behavior with punishments of ever-increasing severity, but it did little to dissuade the strong-willed young lady.

As soon as she turned 12, Lili's parents sent her to live in the royal palace as a handmaiden, where she mastered the arts of socialization. She never gave up her more martially inclined pursuits, however, often disguising herself as a boy to attend swordplay lessons and watching the castle's many knights at every opportunity.

About a week after her 15th birthday, Lili's parents were both taken by fever, passing dukedom to her uncle Alphonse until Lili found a suitable husband.

I'd like to join as Freyea's "princess" (daughter of a duke).

Sound and Fury (Survival/Intrigue Roleplay, with a dash of PvP)

This interests me... Would this be limited to seven players, or is there possible room for more?

Through the Black

Been busy, but still here.

Through the Black

Mia shuffled through the wreckage until she found her "special" toolkit, the only one that had survived intact and the one that mattered most to her. She climbed up a bluff and took a look at the surrounding area, then rejoined the group in the clearing.

"Can't say for sure how far, but there's some kind of town on the horizon. Figure we could get some proper help there, maybe get on our feet a little better."

Through the Black

Mia pulls herself to her feet, wincing as she puts weight on her wounded leg.

"Well, nice to see I'm not alone here. Hope one of you's got some medical training, because I've got some parts that need fixing."
