Time:Morning
Location: The Harem
Interaction:@HeloNym @Tae Lizzie @Alivefalling Barboda @Potter Tigerlily @Infinite Cosmos Tesoro @FunnyGuyArdyn
Equipment:Black coat with fur trim on the hood, dark-colored, plain male clothing, sword with unbreaking and return enchantments, strength enchanted gloves, 2 medium red potions, hygiene products, timeteller, wayfinder, a flask, standard backpack, and an ama pouch with 1800 amas.

Helio flew up higher into the sky as a bullet narrowed missed his foot. Guns!He looked over his shoulder and his heart sunk as he watched both Lizzie and Tesoro get shot. The helmet head was luckily saved by his big helmet head. Clearly, their opponents were a decent enough shot though. With the numbers so imbalanced and with them having seven more guns than they did, Helio worried that this could all end badly.

He glanced down as he watched a wave hit the ship of their enemies. The water had been still, but Helio did not waste time trying to wonder what had occurred in that moment. He needed to think of his next move. There had to be a way to mess up their aim. He suddenly found his hands plastering themselves to his ears before he could get much into thought. He winced and watched as Tigerlily screamed from the deck of the ship. He nodded, impressed with the siren's powerful ability. It would hopefully deter them for a moment so he could get closer. This was his shot. He would have to make it so they couldn't keep their eyes on Lizzie, Tigerlily, and the others.

'I can't see with this fucking bug!' Bastian's voice echoed in his mind as a hazy image began to paint itself before his eyes of Bastian swatting at a fly zooming around his head.

That's me. The big bug man.

Helio knew this was a potentially stupid idea for his own sake, but it wasn't like his life meant much anyway. It was better he risked his worthless existence than those who still had so much to live for. Still, he let a grin stretch across his face as he began to propel himself downward, launching another dark energy orb towards the riflemen as he did. Once he reached a dangerously close range with them, he began to zoom around them, launching more. It didn't matter if most missed, he just had to keep them distracted. It wasn't every day a fairy could launch dark magic and now he was up close with his enemies. Considering the effect he still had on most city folk as the infamous prince-gone-monster, perhaps it'd come in handy for once. If that failed, well he still had the sword on his back. Whatever it took to ensure no one else got shot, he'd do it in a heartbeat.

Um, hi! Always going to be awkward as hell with these, so I figured I'd get it over with and express a tentative interest?

I have a couple of ideas for potential characters, and a couple of questions, to help get a better idea of what's accurate... and hopefully without sounding awfully out of line, I'm just going to toss a few of them down now.

Firstly, this seems to be a sort of 'Slice of Life' RP set in more medieval times with a focus on romance and court intrigue? Do I have that right? Or is there some other plot point I'm missing out on?

Second... how prevalent is magic, really, here? Are we talking about things like elves, unicorns and dragons, or is it just humans who exist? Both are good, I just want that pinned down.

Last, how restricting is the concept? Like, can characters come from any and all backgrounds, or do they have to be nobility/related to nobility in some way? Employed by them, hates them/hated by them, etc.?

@CollectorOfMyst

Hi!.

Yes. It is a pre-technology era, essentially industrial revolution. The focus is on romance, drama, and royal politics. Magic is a forbidden, background plot point. There is a blurb in the first OOC post. No elves, unicorns, and dragons. Just humans.

All backgrounds are acceptable.

Feel free to join the discord to chat.

I don't use a DISCORD, I made one to learn how to accord myself- when ready I deleted it. Can I get a prompt of how to proceed with character creation? A Charactersheet, if you will.

@Viper Sebastian

Hi Viper! I had the character sheet in the character tab. I'll bring it for you here for your convenience. Please adjust adding/omitting info as you like but put a decent effort into figuring out who they are:

@JJ Doe I love how mysterious he is. I'm charmed by him! I accept. @Tae Do you?

Avalia

Time: Morning
Location: Myriamor Plaza- Summer Harvest Festival
Interactions: Caelan @Alivefalling
Equipment:Clothing,Backpack, Sketchbook with drawings, various drawing supplies, iPhone, a PBJ sandwich, charging cable, strawberry pocky, earphones, and a pouch with two rations of food, water flask, a bar of soap and a few other portable hygienic products.

Sophie brushed wet strands out of her face as she emerged from under the water with Caelan's help. It was almost like being at their backyard pool in the summer for a moment. Her brother's smiling face before her as he cannon-balled in, her mother yelling his full name in anguish as the water splashed absolutely everyone. Before she could consider how she felt about her thoughts, she became aware of Caelan standing in front of her with his arms reaching out toward her. She felt strangely euphoric and light in mood. Coherent thoughts could not pass through her mind much at all. She could not tell if she liked being drunk or if it scared her, or if this was even the same as Earth alcohol anyway.

She giggled and took his hands, sliding herself into the pool. Her feet failed to take their footing on the smooth flooring beneath her so she fell forward into his arms. "Wheee! Ooh sorry! Floor is kinda slippery!" She exclaimed, laughing as she did. Returning his personal space, Sophie looked around at the animal-like beings in the water with them. She didn't bother thinking about how weird it all was and instead sunk herself into the water and moved her arms about. If there were half-animal people, were there mermaids? How amazing would it be to meet a mermaid? It made sense considering there were fairies and elves and whatnot. She opened her eyes again after a pause and looked at Caelan.

Her first gut instinct had been to ask where he had been from, maybe even when
considering she was getting the feeling that they had not all come from the same time period, considering Jomari's statements. But then Sophie felt it did not all matter anymore. Sophie knew deep down that this was most likely their home now and the thought gave her a dim anxious feeling.

Sophie gave Caelan a grin finally and asked, "So. Ever play marco polo?"

---

Personality Summary:
Once a vivacious and outspoken child, Charlotte has become a more reserved and thoughtful young woman. The mistreatment of Lorenzo and the cruelty she witnessed in high society shattered her youthful naivety, awakening a fierce sense of justice. She is selective with her trust, often indignant and fiercely protective of those she cares about. Charlotte despises seeing anyone looked down upon and isn’t afraid to speak her mind when she witnesses mistreatment, though her words are always delivered with grace and eloquence.

Despite such, she retains a compassionate heart, deeply empathetic to the pain of others. Her experiences have left her yearning for connection, but she masks her vulnerability with humor and sarcasm. At times, she can be awkward and anxious, especially in social settings. Yet, mention a topic she loves, like astronomy or literature, and her dorky enthusiasm shines through, making her eyes light up with genuine joy.

Her time in isolation fostered a stubborn independence. Charlotte rarely asks for help, preferring to shoulder burdens alone. This can make her seem distant, but it is a shield she built to survive the pain of loss and betrayal. Beneath the surface, she dreams of adventure, inspired by the stories she devours and the music she composes. Though life has humbled her, Charlotte remains fiercely intelligent and well-read, with a yearning for a world where she can make a difference.

History Summary:
Lady Charlotte Vikena, fondly called "Lottie," is the only known surviving daughter of Duke Walter Vikena and Duchess Emina Vikena. Born in 1717, her arrival was bittersweet, as it came with a difficult birth that left Emina’s health permanently affected. The Vikenas, who preside over the Vermillion territory with their main estate in Veirmont, were beloved by the public. Their romance was legendary, and the anticipation for a male heir was high. However, Emina's health complications meant that Charlotte would be their only child, much to the family's and kingdom's disappointment.

Charlotte's early years were full of warmth and joy. Walter was a devoted father, taking on the role of her best friend and confidant. He made time for her despite his responsibilities, and their bond became a defining part of her happy childhood. Emina, though also loving, grew increasingly strained under the pressure of securing an heir. As Charlotte grew, she charmed those around her with her beauty and sweet disposition, easily making friends at school and excelling in music and academics.

However, the once-happy Vikena household began to fracture. King Edin Danrose, who had admired Duke Walter’s strength, became disillusioned with his declining performance and the lack of a male successor. This disappointment turned to torment, as King Edin publicly and privately humiliated the Vikenas. Emina, desperate to placate the king and salvage their standing, made secret deals that put even more strain on her marriage. Walter sought solace in alcohol, and the couple's arguments became frequent and severe, shattering the family's harmony.

The turmoil affected young Charlotte, who became increasingly troubled. She exhibited dramatic behavior, often running away or isolating herself, unable to process the intense changes in her home. Then, one fateful day, Walter whisked her away from the public eye. For an entire year, Charlotte lived in isolation with her father, and when they finally returned, Walter's mysterious death soon followed. Charlotte’s mental health deteriorated, and Emina took her to doctors, though Charlotte never regained her memories of that lost year or learned the truth of what had happened to her father. Emina’s vague explanations only added to her confusion.

Walter’s death left a void that Emina struggled to fill. Consumed by grief, she grew stricter with Charlotte, focusing all her energy on molding her daughter into a perfect lady. Her remarriage to Duke Lorenzo Vikena, a self-made man who had risen to manage Caesonia’s banks, further distanced the mother and daughter. Lorenzo, though kind-hearted, was an outsider to noble society and often the target of ridicule. He made frequent social blunders, even bringing his pet ferret to court events, which only deepened the family’s disgrace.

During her teenage years, Charlotte faced immense isolation. The Vikena name, once synonymous with honor, became a source of shame. Former friends turned their backs on her, and Charlotte was frequently mocked in high society. She struggled to find her place, humbled by the relentless judgment of those around her. Yet, she remained fiercely loyal to Lorenzo, outraged by the cruelty he endured. It was a harsh awakening to the true nature of Caesonia’s nobility.

At twenty-one, Charlotte's life took a darker turn. During a ball hosted by King Edin, Emina and Lorenzo suffered public humiliation at the hands of the king. The devastating event led Emina to take her own life, leaving Charlotte and Lorenzo shattered. The following year was a blur of grief and sorrow. Charlotte withdrew further into books and music, her only solace in a world that had become cold and unforgiving.

Romance

Have you ever been in love?
No, I fear I have not. There is a certain allure to the idea, of course—a mystery shrouded in wistful dreams. Yet, I cannot be sure if it truly exists or if it is merely the work of poets weaving enchanting tales.

What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.
Kindness, without a doubt, and a heart that remains true even amidst the cacophony of societal expectations. Oh, how I have longed to feel that I could be enough for someone to withstand the jeers of a bickering crowd.

How do you display affection? What is your love language?
I am rather fond of a warm embrace, one that lingers just long enough to make the heart feel all aflutter. There is a certain magic in feeling someone close, a reassurance that they are truly present.

Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?
Ah, yes. It was in a sunlit garden, and a young boy kissed me ever so sweetly. In my absolute shock, I ran off as if chased by wild beasts. Rather tragic, is it not? Especially considering I fancied him quite a bit.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?
I must confess, I do not. Love, I believe, requires an understanding of one’s very soul, not just the admiration of a fine smile or charming eyes. Though, I admit, the notion is terribly romantic.

What does marriage mean to you?
Marriage, I think, is rather like a beautifully bound book. It appears grand on the outside, but the true value lies in the story written within. In my world, it often seems a mere convenience or a societal expectation. Yet, I cannot help but dream of a love so profound that committing a lifetime to someone would feel like the most splendid adventure.

Are you currently crushing on anyone?
I once harbored quite the crush on Leo Smithwood in my youth. We had the most delightful adventures—at least until I ruined everything with my flighty garden mishap. It’s rather embarrassing to recount!

Do you ever consider having children in the future?
Perhaps, with the right person. The idea of having a family—one filled with warmth and laughter—does hold a certain appeal. Yet, I would need to be certain of a life filled with love and not obligation.

History

Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?:
Ah, a rather complicated tale, I'm afraid. My early years were filled with affection and gentle nurturing. But as my parents’ lives unraveled, so did the warmth they once provided. By the end of it all, I often felt more like a ghost haunting the corners of a fractured home.

When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?:
I would climb the tallest tree I could find, hiding among the leaves like a mischievous little monkey. From there, I could eavesdrop on all sorts of conversations, which would often make me giggle. It was my secret realm, far away from the world's troubles.

What were you like in your teenage years?:
Before my mother’s passing, I still had a spark of cheer, though I was always a touch secluded. I had a small circle of loyal friends who stuck by me, despite our family's declining reputation. But after she was gone... I suppose it felt as though a part of me left with her. I became quieter, more reserved, though I tried my best to carry on.

How close are you to your parents?:
My mother and I were once inseparable—she was my confidante and greatest friend. My father, Duke Walter, was also dear to me before he passed. Now, Lorenzo is all I have left, and I do care for him greatly. Though, truth be told, I do wish he would cease his endless attempts to appease men like King Edin and Count Calbert. It pains me to see him so diminished.

Do you have any trauma that haunts you?:
The sudden deaths of my parents weigh heavily on my heart. There are nights when memories of those dark days wrap around me like a suffocating cloak. But I must carry on, mustn’t I?

What advice would you give your younger self?:
Oh, sweet little Lottie, you should run away and keep running—at least until you find a place that feels like home. And perhaps don’t climb so many trees; you nearly broke your neck more times than I care to count.

Were you an obedient child or defiant?:
I was obedient, certainly. I dared not speak out of turn, for even a hint of disobedience would earn me harsh consequences. Lorenzo is a far gentler man, and I do sometimes wonder if I ought to finally embrace a rebellious streak. It might be rather thrilling, don’t you think?

What is your biggest regret?:
Locking myself away after my mother’s death. I lost precious friendships that I may never recover, and I fear I have condemned myself to solitude.

Personality

Describe your ideal Sunday morning:
Oh, how I adore a rainy Sunday morning spent curled up in the den. A steaming cup of tea, a hearty breakfast, and a good book are all the company I require. The sound of rain tapping against the window panes is simply enchanting.

What kind of person do you aspire to be?:
I wish to be someone who can stand tall and brave, regardless of what the world thinks. Someone who can change things for the better in this kingdom, even if it means facing down the harshest critics.

What bad habits do you have?:
I am dreadfully prone to sleeping in and eating more pastries than I should. Oh, and lying? I am positively awful at it. My face gives everything away in an instant!

If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?:
I would whisper to my mother, warning her against marrying Lorenzo—not because he is unkind, mind you, but because perhaps then we could have fled and found peace somewhere far from this kingdom’s chaos.

What is your greatest fear?:
Being utterly and completely alone. The kind of solitude that seeps into your bones and makes you forget what it feels like to be loved.

What are your pet peeves?:
Double-dipping at events. Truly, I come for the food, and that behavior is simply unsanitary! Also, passive-aggressiveness—why not be direct? We’d save so much time!

When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?:
Alone, most definitely. When someone tries to comfort me, I tend to become awkward and stiff, as if my mouth is tied shut with invisible corset strings. It’s an unfortunate trait, really.

Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?:
My tongue, of course! One look at me and you’d see I am hardly built for fisticuffs. But words? Those I can wield with a fair amount of grace.
