Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Julius Scrimgeour - July 4, 2022
THE SITUATION: A near-death experience will remind Julius that life is painfully short, and his family line ends with him and OH GOD HE HAS NO MARITAL PROSPECTS AND NEITHER DOES HIS SISTER.
THE SOLUTION: A week of "dates", assessing potential brides.
THE NEED: YOUR DEBS <3 Also bachelors (see below)
Julius Scrimgeour bounced back from repeated problems caused by his sister (Bella Scrimgeour) and, to a larger degree, his late, criminal father. Now thirty, he realizes he really does need to get married and really, he is out of excuses. He was in love once (@"Eloise Manwaring") and does not think he ever will be again, but he does want a partner—someone on the same page, with whom he can grow to share mutual respect and friendship.
The threads would be set during the last week of July or first week of August, but start sooner than later. Over 24 need not apply unless otherwise stated. I am looking for the following candidates:
- The Fresh Face: New to Society in the 1892 season! (UCAB)
- The Widow: Early to mid-twenties and widowed. (UCAB)
- The Disaster: Someone who is as far from suited to Julius as possible. (UCAB/MCPB)
- The Climber: Someone from a less illustrious UC family (maybe with some scandal of their own), OR someone from a MC family looking to propel her status higher. (MCAB/UCAB)
- Good on Paper: Everything about her breeding, dowry, accomplishments, etc. should be perfect. Whether she is, though, that's another story. (MCPB/UCAB)
I recognize that wishes don't always come true—feel free to chuck others at me; while I'd prefer these roles, I'll take what I can get xD
Next up, we have Araminta Scrimgeour, who someone really should play (pretty please!):
At twenty-three, she's no spring chicken, but Julius maintains that her unmarried status is a product of her unfortunate circumstances, not her lack of grace or character. He will be endeavouring to find the Perfect Match (on paper/in his eyes, at least) before the summer is out so that she does not have to suffer the indignity of a Season at four-and-twenty.
Again, looking for an in-law-hurling-week! Threads set first or second week of August. All candidates should be UC and 28+ unless otherwise specified.
- Julius Seeking Public Future: This character should be very much in the public eye, though positively so. Think Ministry head, quidditch sponsor, etc.
- Julius Seeking Quiet Future: This character is decidedly not in the public eye, though not in a weird way.
- Julius Not Seeking, but Considering: This character wasn't actively sought out by Julius, but they got to talking and now is being Assessed anyways.
- Man Seeking Hot Young Thing: Older gentleman (45+), likely a widower, who wants a Young Wife™
- Man Seeking Minty, Specifically: Your character approached Julius. Maybe he was taken by Minty at some event or another, maybe he's taken by the dowry—up to you! (Can be MC)
Open to marriage to NPC? Let me know as this is a huge bonus <3 Also if you have bachelors/widowers who don't necessarily conform to the above, I'll take a gander at them, too!
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Juniper Edevane - July 4, 2022
Pfttt. I have Juniper Edevane for at least fresh face, but I highly doubt they'd get along. Anyhow, if you want, I'll offer her lol.
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Reuben Crouch - July 4, 2022
Victor Daphnel (UCPB, 30) and Eldritch Morgan (UCHB, 28) are available for threads. Both probably fit the "not seeking but assessing" spot best but up to you.
Dorothea Twycross is not exactly "good on paper" because she has a business, but she does exist, haha. MCPB, 21, first season.
Feel free to take or leave any of these, I shall not be offended <3
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Christabel Daphnel - July 4, 2022
The Disaster: @"Christabel Dempsey" = UCHB, her radical political leanings might frighten the ever living dust out of his family, but there you go.
The Climber: @"Natsuko Mountbatton" could fit here OR in disaster territory. Her muse is affronted at being classified as a climber because she is chill with her blood - but is a crazy rich orphan and socially acceptable.
Good on Paper: Ginevra Blackwood -could fit here, her mother is also orchestrating dates for her
Lucretia Zabini - also offers her daugher or her
Thaddeus Flint - is in the market for a UCPB wifey, might be slightly trepidatious of her/family rep but good blood gives her some creidt.
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Beatrice Daphnel - July 4, 2022
For you I have:
Beatrice Daphnel for likely either the "Good on paper" or maybeeee the "Disaster" but more likely the first.
Octavia Fawley for "good on paper" as well.
Queenie Shu as "the climber" or again "the disaster" as a working mc woman but from a socially upper middle class family?
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Walter Staghart - July 10, 2022
I have a few prospects but not idea for your Julius choices.
Steliana Nicolescu can fit the Widow part, but she is over 24. (same age as Julius actually and a newcomer to Britain)
Araminta a couple maybes.
Malcorvus Flint is a Widower and over 45 but he's not actively seeking a new wife (as his player I do want to get him remarried eventually).
Terence Higgs is upper-class, over 28 and looking for a wife and probably isn't too much in the public eye...so he could fall in the 'Seeking Quiet Future'.
Edgar Minks is a maybe, he's a little young (couple years) and not currently Upper-class but definitely a rising Middle-class. He certainly could fall in 'Man Seeking Minty, Specifically'.
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Clarissa Cosgrove - July 10, 2022
Lionel Lupin could fit Public Eye and I am open to him marrying a NPC. Normally he probably wouldn't consider it because of the family history but due to his respect for Julius, would maybe consider it. xD
Loretta Browne could probably be a disaster. She personally thinks she is one EDIT: though she is 25. When did that happen xD
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Elsie Kirke - July 11, 2022
Victoire Malfoy could be your Good on Paper
Mathilda Alderton could be The Fresh Face is The Disaster, as she is definitely both xD
RE: Five Ladies, Five Gentlemen - Ida Chang - July 11, 2022
For Julius I have Ida? I could see her as Climber (though not her choice), or Good on Paper. Probably has a decent dowry for MC, as family biz is going well. Starting from end of July/August she's got a few friends in UC who are really pushing to set her up with someone in UC, doing all the intros/matchmaking. xD Her older brother might be pushing Ida that direction also. Ida, on the other hand, really doesn't think she likes most men. She plans to go to Flint Institute and do advanced research work, and assumes a suitor probably won't like this.
For Araminta I have a newbie coming up Cassian of course! He's destined for a doom-spiral endgame with another, but there's plenty of time for him to make his rounds before that! Good for seeking public future I guess?
Otherwise Thomas Harvey for the chaos of a handsome WC who's very much not what Julius wants for his sis.

(July 11, 2022 – 1:15 AM)Elsie Kirke Wrote: Victoire Malfoy could be your Good on Paper
This would make Angeline Malfoy, who is also Good on Paper, mad with jealousy so I am all for it. Throw Estelle Malfoy in there too plz. Malfoy sisters competing for a man who doesn't really love any of them <3
