Waverly

[QUEENIE]

Waverly

Since the late seventeenth century, Waverly manor has stood has the most luxurious and haunted manor on Lexington Island. It has always been in the Van Der Waal family, never passed to anyone who did not have Van Der Waal blood. However, Edward Van Der Waal has now chosen to place his own grandchild's (Celeste) success on the line by installing a game into the mix- the Grail War. The winner of this said "war" will be inheriting a significant amount of the Van Der Waal fortune and the Waverly manor itself! Welcome to Waverly.

Note to participant:
If you are reading this, you and seven others have been chosen to participate in the event of a lifetime here at Waverly manor. It will be your job to assess a set of clues and locate the grail before anyone else does. Be aware that Waverly is not a typical Manor. The walls of Waverly have, and always will be, haunted by the spirits that died here. It will be your job to avoid being killed by such spirits and even traps. If proven successful, the winner will obtain a substantial amount of wealth and Waverly manor itself. Trust no one and good luck!

Information/Rules:

• Each of the eight contestants is from, or currently live on, Lexington Island. Besides Celeste, none of the other contestants have set foot on Waverly ground. Celeste herself has not been there since she was four.
• It is possible to form alliances, but note that only one person can obtain the fortune.
• Due to a popular vote, this will be a realistic face claim only RP. Hope that does not drive anyone off.
• Characters can be between the ages of 20-39.
• Please try to have a diverse background for characters.
• The only person who is necessarily rich is Celeste, the others have been chosen for the chance to obtain wealth (which helps fuel their desire to win). The exception to this would be someone who lost wealth a long time ago and is trying to win it back.
• Characters can be living off the Island when they are summoned to Waverly to participate in the Grail War.
• Note, the grail has no special powers, it is only a cup that Edward likes.
• Ghost are real here at Waverly, and a lot of them were wrongfully killed in years past. They also play a part in the Grail War as nine of them protect the clues to the Grail.
• Celeste's mother will be the only "nice" ghost in this war. She will be the overseer besides Edward. (NPC information will be contained within the Discord).
• If you do not have discord, it is easy and FREE to obtain. The process of creating an account is simple and fast. The reason I use discord is that I receive notifications much easier through the app, and many people on Iwaku use the app as the OOC today for the same notification reason! Sorry if this displeases anyone.
• No smut! This is an all ages RP and Iwaku rules will be respected at all times! If you insist on having smut between two characters take it to PM, but make sure it is the same age group as you. Hate to see one of you banned.
• Each person will receive one familiar. They will help you to navigate Waverly. They each have a personality of their own. Information on Familiars will be in the discord.
• Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers

GENERAL
Name: Ellis Flanagan
Nickname: Sometimes will answer to El, or will bite your head off for calling him it, be careful
Age: 24
Current Occupation: has worked multiple minimum wage jobs on and off while being unemployed inbetween
Sexuality: Bisexual, slight preference toward males
Health Ailments: somewhat of a limp from lingering spinal issues from his riding accident

APPEARANCE
Height: 5'9
Build: Fairly average, leaning toward more lean muscle
Scars: One on his neck from a serious fall while horseback riding as a teenager
Piercings: Both ears, keeps small studs in most of the time
Tattoos: n/a
Hair color: honey blonde
Hairstyle: undercut with a fade, usually swept up with gel
Clothing style: Suit and tie, the whole nine yards, but since he has been disconnected from his source of wealth and family for a while (which includes a decent tailor) most of what he wears is a little worse for wear. Dresses mostly in greys with a deep wine red as an accent color

PERSONALITY
Positive Traits: Is generally very reserved and controlled, which he views as a strategic advantage in business, is also very bright, and was always praised by his parents, teachers, and caretakers for his intellect.
Negative Traits: Can come off a bit cold because of his more reserved nature, making it hard for him to have deeper personal connections. As well, being coddled as a child means he has a narcissistic edge to his personality, and will hold grudges for an uncharacteristically long time.
Hobbies: Used to do horseback riding before his accident, basically if you can think of a pretentious rich kid hobby he's probably dabbled in it
Likes: Animals of all sorts, literature, interior design, alone time, champagne, classic rock, alternative music, guys shorter than him, art history
Dislikes: Insects, large bodies of water (ocean, lakes, etc) because of almost drowning as a child, weirdass modern art, crowds, people pointing out/drawing attention to his limp, minimalism

HISTORY
Childhood: Was coddled by his family and estate as a child, grew up as the oldest son and heir to his estate fortune, had his own nanny and was primarily home schooled, except for his parents buying him into college. He has a younger brother Everett who is 21, who is essentially a polar opposite to Ellis, more openly charismatic and more volatile. He also has a 14 year old sister named Edith.
Adulthood: While he was away at college, Everett WORKED his parents in order to steal away El's position as heir to the estate. Everett was able to convince his parents to change their minds. When Ellis returned from college, having graduated early both in part because of he and his parents negotiating with the administration early in his college career, his home dynamic had completely flipped on its head. Both his parents then believed that his reserved nature was a show of weakness in character. They gave Everett the inheritance, and Ellis completely lost it. He took the whole ordeal to mean he was estranged from the family, and left his estate, going off of essentially nothing to live on his own. Even with his degree, without start up money or a place of his own, he ended up landing just a minimum wage job and has been trying to figure out how to adult on his own without his parent's influence for about a year. It's not exactly working.
Reason for participating in the war: Given that he was basically estranged from his family and fortune, he wants to win his money and fortune back at any cost. He doesn't know how to live fulfilled without a lump sum.

persona

Positive Traits: Jameson is quite headstrong, she knows what she wants and usually does whatever required to achieve it. she is also quick on her feet, meaning her response time to situations is quite fast. Apart from this she is also a very creative soul, which allows her to think outside the box more often than not.

Negative Traits: Jameson, while quick on her feet, is too impulsive for her own good, and this results in too many rash decisions. She also has no regard for her own safety, often throwing herself in reckless situations either for the thrill of it, or merely out of curiosity. She is also known to be quite blunt to the point where she has been seen as rude by people she doesn't know. It isn't that she can't control it, she just chooses not to unless she sees reason to.

Hobbies: painting ; photography ; playing the piano

Likes: music ; art ; photography ; nature ; adventure ; adrenaline rushes

Dislikes: having to sit around while doing nothing ; pretentious snobs ; hospitals ; her parents

background

Childhood: Jameson was brought up into a rough childhood. Her parents lived in a trailer and she supposed they might have been in love once, only it was more of puppy love and lust than anything else, and she was a product of it to her unwed parents. The first years were okay. her parents, though growing to hate each other, liked spending time with their baby girl, but a little too much alcohol every now and then changed that. When Jameson was fourteen, things started to get even worse. Her parents would fight into the night and then her dad would leave for days. During this period, her mother would find some other company while Jameson was locked in her room, never allowed to leave. Her parents began wanting nothing to do with her, nor did they want to provide for her, and the only thing she wanted was to leave the household for good. Unfortunately, at that age, her mother became pregnant again, and Jameson knew she couldn't leave. Not when there was another innocent child being brought into that life. So she stayed behind, silently suffering.

Adulthood: When Jameson turned eighteen, she was more than inclined to leave the house with her now four year old little brother Jake. They had tried, but unfortunately, they couldn't get too far on foot and they didn't have money to survive. Jameson did as much as she could, doing odd jobs to make more money, even stealing, if she ever got the chance, and then at twenty, Jameson finally stumbled upon an opportunity. The Grail War.

Reason for participating in the war: Jameson chose to participate so she and her brother could leave the horrid home they were confined to and make a life for themselves somewhere else.

HISTORY
Childhood: Celeste was born to the Van Der Waal family, a curse on its own. Her mother was Claire Van Der Waal, and her father was Justin Albright ( he took the Van Der Waal last name). For years, the three lived at the Waverly manor, but by the age of four, Celeste had to relocate from her home at Waverly with her father. Her mother had been killed in a mysterious boating accident and her grandfather did not want her there as she reminded him of Claire. Celeste grew up in Paris for the remainder of her childhood. Her father would go on to remarry a designer and have two more children. Despite loving her family, Celeste left at the age of eighteen and started her life separate from them. After all, they were not true Van Der Waals.

Adulthood: After leaving her family behind in Paris, Celeste traveled the world as she finally took over her mother's business. Being an art appraiser was a blessing at a young age, but truly Celeste wished to continue her painter work. Traveling to places like Mount Fuji in Japan and Honolulu, Hawaii Celeste perfected her artwork on scenery and still-life. However, as her grandfather's health degraded she knew that her succession to the Waverly Manor would be near, she looked forward to living in the place her mother grew up, but when she returned home she found that her grandfather had made things even more difficult on her. Since he had not wished to relinquish the manor to her, he had offered the manor up and a part of her inheritance in a game. A dangerous game. Celeste thought her was a fool, but agreed to participate. She couldn't let her family down.

Reason for participating in the war: Celeste wants to reconnect with her mother, her heritage, and her home. It is her birthright and she knows that she has to give it her all so that some stranger doesn't take over her family's history.
