Princess the Hopeful Roleplay

Lore Tidbits

- Beaux Rêve was a colony of France and a Monarchist stronghold in the French Revolution that raised a member of the Bourbon Family to its throne after the execution of Louis XVI. This King, Henri I of Beaux Rêve, also claimed the throne of France itself despite the existence of other surviving Bourbons but was disqualified after it was revealed that he had converted to French Protestantism. He was succeeded by his son Francois I, who was less absolutist than his father and allowed a constitution and a British-style Parliament to be formed while reserving executive powers for himself.

- Fast forward to King Henri II, who claimed the throne of France again as Henri VI (Henri I was counted as Henri V) in the middle of World War II and had considerable Fascist sympathies, but ended up joining the Allies when the Germans refused to allow him to ascend the French Throne. Beaux Rêve sent large forces to aid the US in the Philippines Campaign and the Normandy Landings, where they fought with valor, although it was noticed that many of the soldiers were 'suspiciously young'. This earned Henri II a status as a 'war hero' that he did not actually earn.

- A decade later, Henri II (and VI) was overthrown by a student uprising by the predecessors of the Autocrat and Humanitarian parties, the Democratic Front. The Democratic Front would elect a President and this President would rule well, but his successors would be less able and more corrupt than he was.

- The Democratic Front split into the Autocrats and Humanitarians in the 2000s, and the former would be elected into power in 2003 and keep it until 2023, the present year of the RP.

- Other nations pay Beaux Rêve to take in their migrants. Many of these migrants 'disappear' into resource extraction and agricultural projects while their children end up in 'rehabilitation programs' in The Complex. Do the math.

- Beaux Rêve has legal gay marriage and both the Autocrats and Humanitarians support strongly Pro-LGBT policies.

- Also, Beaux Rêve has its own version of Task Force: VALKYRIE, only French and paid for with the proceeds from Red Diamonds. This group, Task Force: NAVARRE, also has Power Armor and Etheric Lenses and maybe Essence Cannons (yes, the kind from Exalted, but nerfed).

- Beaux Rêve has Nuclear Weapons. Chronicles of Darkness is still an horror game, after all.

- Also, Beaux Rêve has generous welfare policies, financed by sales of Red Diamonds and Uranium, as well as other mineral resources, including Jade, which can be found in large amounts in the Western Islands.

If any of you find these tidbits off-putting, against the tone that you want, not what you expected and too politics-adjacent, tell me now.

Shadowrun: Lost Heir

Reinhard 'Tenno' Martin

Tenno needed nuyen to live, and had been steadily regaining a measure of ambition, or just a will to live so that he can stick it to the Corpos. So the young man had decided to join the team of Runners going to that Mr. Johnson looking for competent people... Which he technically was. He recognized very few of the faces around him, and even then only vaguely; good - They were not too notorious. Going up to the Oni shaman, the young man, clearly not having shed the last remnants of boyhood, streached out his hand for a shake and said, "Greetings; my name is Tenno - I'm a Mystic Adept specializing in anything that requires straight-up endurance and various barriers."

As for the rest, he'd wait for them to speak up or move around, but for now, he'd try and chat up the Oni, take a few drinks and pastries, and occassionally scan the Astral and Physical planes with his 'special eyes' just to make sure there was no surprise treachery or ambush - Or because he was bored.

With boredom came a slight simmer of anger, anger that the Flux State had not succeeded in defending itself long enough against the enemy, anger that at the end of the day, mutual aid and co-operative networks of defense weren't enough. That the Corpos had won just like they always had. That he had to work for them in order to stick it to them; irony of ironies.

And underneath it all was the memory of torment. Of years in Saeder-Krupp's clutches and being subjected to their sadistic whims. But he was no edgelord, not yet; he'd put up a brave face for his fellow Runners, smile and nod and try and be friends. Like them, so he can be liked in turn.

Then maybe there can be some redemption for him, redemption for his failures and that time when he had accepted his captors' power over him, that they had broken him.

That was something he did not want to acknowledge had ever happened.
