I guess I shall make bad decisions now and drop this thread to let everyone know that I'm open to plan something with all of my characters, be it background relationships, or because you want to romance them (the only exception to that one is Garaile). I generally am terrible at pre-established romances, so at your own risk but otherwise I'm pretty much open for anything (except smut). I have written down some ideas for each character, click on their respective squares to find out what the ideas are, or throw up your own unique idea!
◉ Just entered society. This is her first season ever!
◉ But has a bunch of siblings who are out already who she loves to prank.
◉ The more she likes someone the more she will prank them.
◉ Has a small dowry of 3k, giving her 120 per year
◉ Eloise is anything but shy but also has no interest in marrying yet. She just wants to have fun! But if someone can entice her into a wild adventure she is up for it.
◉ Gravitates towards shy people, there is just something about them that makes her adopt them like stray animals.
◉ Will set up booth in the ballrooms and read anyone's palm and then declare them exceedingly unlucky in their pursuits and love life, unless she is trying to match them.
◉ Loves to write and exchange letters detailing all of the gossip and adventures and wild fantasies about adventures.
◉ Is nearly on the shelf and quite distressed about that
◉ Short. Short. Short.
◉ Lots of siblings
◉ Has a small dowry of 3k giving her 120 per year
◉ Melinda at this point doesn't believe in marrying for love, even if she envies her parents for that. She just wants to settle down and live a comfortable life, like she is used to now and not have to depend on her dowry.
◉ Been out in society for a while now and must have made some London friends and enemies. Knowing Melinda's personality she probably made a lot of girlfriends (standing up for them) and a lot of male frenemies (insulting them).
◉ Has a LOT of siblings. Generally known as the clumsiest sibling, probably stepped on the toes of every lady he ever danced with.
◉ Frederick really wants a wife that is unlike his sisters and mother, he just wants a quiet life. But what with his constant need for adventure there really is no such thing. Wouldn't mind a husband either.
◉ Is travelling most of the time.
◉ From his own investments Frederick generally makes about 800 a year, his inheritance is tbd.
◉ Siblings siblings siblings.
◉ Invests into a lot of (quack) beauty products and sponsors a lot of art and literature as well.
◉ University days: where Frederick has more interest in all courses but the ones that would help him as a baron's son.
◉ Travels abroad frequently in a time where travel was uncommon and costly, but also seen as mostly the endeavour of merchants.
◉ His father is a Frenchman and a businessman in wine making 2k a year of which Garaile is the only heir.
◉ His mother is a former infamous beauty of the ballrooms, a daughter of a gentleman, who got pregnant before marrying and was forced to name Garaile's father the baby's father and marry him.
◉ Grew up in an unhappy marriage with absent parents.
◉ Makes 4k a year as a barrister and is set out to inherit 20k (800 - 2k per annum) from his father and an additional 10k (400 a year) from his mother.
◉ As a (newly introduced) barrister he meets a lot of cases and has to present a decent amount of cases to court. Perhaps he ever presented something for your character? Such as a divorce case (which were complicated back then and a political affair), a criminal charge, libel case, or perhaps a ton case in which a missus got pregnant before marriage?
◉ A return to his university days where he attended his courses next to his landed peers of the gentry, having to envy their good fortune for their smooth sailings, leading up to the many hours that eventually led to his success.
◉ A step into Garaile's childhood, as the half-blood of a Frenchman as the country is at war and his family still trying to make their fortune.
◉ His family made their fortune in slave-trade and father used to be part of the West-Indian Company.
◉ Inherited about 100k at the tender age of fourteen after his parents were murdered.
◉ Used the fortune instead to start a boarding school in his childhood home and to charity, his yearly income now is 2k per annum.
◉ Addicted to laudanum
◉ Warren is the principal of the boarding school he runs in his childhood home and usually locks himself up in the attic (school shenanigans?)
◉ Also is still unmarried and rather uninterested, but knows he has to settle somehow and is willing to pitifully take someone in.
◉ Had an extremely happy childhood before the murder of his parents, even if he was surrounded by indentured servants that were abused severely and knew it to be bad.
◉ Released all of the servants his family still held with good recommendation for future job prospects, but also gave them the option and opportunity to work with him with the potential of becoming business partners.
◉ Her mother is a commoner that never quite got her reputation back and had to live on the charity of her beau who she blackmailed with Ondine.
◉ Her father is an unnamed Duke after whom she supposedly takes a lot. Ondine has never met the man, but is aware of the blackmail money her mother receives.
◉ Currently employed by Peony Room as a pastry chef, which she honestly loves to do.
◉ Sweet to look at, but with a hint of burnt chocolate. Acts innocent but is very much trying to flirt her way up.
◉ Something with her father's Duke family? Like an arranged marriage forced upon her by her father's family to minimise the scandal? Drama drama drama!!!
◉ Very much is trying to get into the upper class, but planning to play it smarter than her mother did who gave herself away and got herself disinherited and now lives on the blackmail of another.
◉ Peony Room colleagues and visitors come forth!!!
◉ Son of an Ottoman princess and her prince consort, so not in line of the Ottoman throne, but a member of the family making him a sultanzade.
◉ Moved from the Ottoman empire since his pre-teen, early teens.
◉ Currently invested as a scholar interested in physics and astronomy, isn't much interested in high society.
◉ Tries to hide his rank where possible but his friends will never let him live down his official title.
◉ Childhood struggles of an August just entering the country and learning the culture and society?
◉ His friends are dumb, give him some smarter friends, pls.
◉ Lost his parents and youngest sister Adelaide in a fire five years prior making him suddenly a duke overnight. Lost his oldest sister Abigail ten years before that in a carriage accident right before the wedding.
◉ The Rosiers were known as conservative back when his father was alive, but Albert drives a different political course.
◉ Vowed to never marry before solving the murder of his family.
◉ His title wasn't the only thing that grew overnight. Many suggest his intellect did so as well as he wasn't studious at all as a child.
◉ Murder mystery slash political intrigue within the peerage class involving Nicholas Rosier's (his father) past sins.
◉ Hyper focused and convinced that everything was premediated and thus a murder and hellbent on proving it.
◉ The new political course he is driving that is almost opposite of his father has made his fair share of political enemies already.
◉ Albert seemingly changed overnight with the death of his family. He went from a rakish lifestyle to an obsessive work-a-holic.
