Did You Know?
Queen Victoria was known for putting jackets and dresses on her pups, causing clothing for dogs to become so popular that fashion houses for just dog clothes started popping up all over Paris. — Fox
It would be easy to assume that Evangeline came to the Lady Morgana only to pick fights. That wasn't true at all. They also had very good biscuits.

Adopt & Plot!

Members are encouraged to post any adoptable characters needed for specific plots here. Remember to state why the character is needed, such as “Stuart is a potential love interest for Lorraine”, or even “TOP SECRET FAMILY SHENANIGANS TO COME GET READY YO”—“I want my mother because she’s my mother” is better suited for our Adoptable Characters listing instead :)

These ads will be cleaned out infrequently throughout the year, but players will be given notice to ensure all posts are up-to-date and posted with active accounts.

Kayte's Plottables

Hello friends! Before we get started, I do have a few policies regarding my adoptables:
  • Please reserve your character with me before apping!
  • Obviously, I'd prefer activity from anyone to take these on XD If, after six months, I don't think you're doing much with them (I have very lax standards, don't worry!), I reserve the right to ask you to give them up so someone more active may take them on.
  • I'll give you two weeks after loosing a character in an AC before I put them back up for grabs! If you drop them via Maintenance, they become immediately available again. If you just want to temp drop them, talk to me first! :)
  • Anyone picking up one of my ads must include the family and personality sections. I provide the family in all my applications so just mentioning the names is quite fine by me. Personality can be as minimal as three basic traits, just so I know for sure that our ideas of the character mesh.
If you have any questions about any of the characters below, fire off a PM to Aldous Crouch, catch me on skype, or stalk me in the cbox ;)

Wanteds for...
BLYTHE | EVANGELINE | MADELINE | PERSEPHONE: BLOOD RAIN | PERSEPHONE: THEORIES OF MAGIC | ET AL
Below, you’ll find requests that I need for a specific thing for a specific character. Go figure. They are different from my other wanteds in that they are not blood relations and/or there is some sort of arc in sight. So that’s exciting.

~
For Blythe
THE MUGGLE
[Image: 3b9KJ4h.jpg]
B. 1863-1868 | WCM | ???
During the Dragoning (London, 14th September 1893), Blythe became separated from her aunt in the chaos and wound up taking shelter in Muggle London with The Muggle, a muggle (go figure) who was surprisingly calm for learning that dragons are real and might eat them at any moment (calm is relative after all). For his kindness, Blythe did something very uncharacteristic: she had him flee before the obliviators could erase his memory of the event. She also did something very characteristic: became infatuated with a man she met all of once. That "once" is what we're angling to change here... PB is hella open, but pictured is Lewis Tan.

Requested For: Blythe Fairchild
~
For Evangeline
THE FRENEMY
[Image: MO88bUa.jpg]
B. 1842-1844 | UCAB | ILVERMORNY GRADUATE | SOCIALITE
Evangeline Endicott was always a bit much. This made her occasionally the butt of jokes in school, and something of a sniping target for the mean girls of the shcool. Of course, it isn't ladylike to be overtly unkind, and so, we become frenemies. "Chastity" was in or near Evangeline's year in school, and while the two playacted at friendship, neither has ever particularly liked the other. "Charity" came to Britain 5-10 years after Evangeline and then kindly asked after her sister in company—oh, did you not know about the elopment? Here, let me tell you... The two have taken social shots at one another ever since. Ideally, she'll have at least one child still at Hogwarts and at least one out of it. PB is hella open, but pictured is Polly Walker.

Requested For: Evangeline Darling

~
For Madeline
ENEMIES TO...TBD? Maddy and Errol do not get along. I want to explore this.

"ERROL"
[Image: 605aHSW.jpeg]
B. 1873-1875 | WCAB | NOT GRYFFINDOR | SEE INSIDE
Much of Errol's personality and background is quite open. Only the following are required to meet my particular needs:
  • Works at Quality Quidditch Supplies. This could be either a summer gig if you'd like him to be at Hogwarts, or his current profession if a dropout or never-went.
  • A mutual dislike with Maddy. Maybe he finds her obnoxious (and shows it), doesn't believe women should play quidditch, or is even just vehemently opposed to the Wimbourne Wasps. Any of the above would make it mutual xD
  • At least a smidge full of himself
PB is hella open, but pictured is Gaten Matarazzo.

Immediate Ties: Madeline Bell
Double Duty: Quidditch Sponsorship

~
For We Have Sinned
In October of 1888, eight friends set off to perform an ancient ritual for luck. Unfortunately, what kind of luck was never specified. After that dark night, they took an Unbreakable Vow never to reveal what transpired, though the weight of the night that eight became seven still rests heavy on their shoulders as each battles with their own sins.

All names and most ethnicities flexible.

GREED
[Image: V9bHo8j.jpeg]
B. 1866-1867 | MCAB | SLYTHERIN | GHOST
"Thomasin" was Perseophone's very first friend, and while their personalities did diverge, they remain fond of one another even after her quite mundane death in 1889, a year to the day after the Incident that killed her only sibling. She always wanted more from life—to marry up, to be wealthy and respected, though now she most wishes for life. While at the time of the Incident she was engaged, whether or not the wedding happened before her own demise is up to you. Pictured PB is Mia McKenna Bruce.

Immediate Ties: Persephone Broadmoor Cleon Broadmoor  Ivy Sandow
Potential Ties: Fortitude Greengrass, other ghosts

LUST
[Image: Kj2hblZ.jpeg]
B. 1862-1866 | UCAB | GRYFFINDOR | RAKE
"Gregory" grew up on the estate south of Bridgerton, the town around which this friend group's early adventures centers. The eldest son to his parents, there was never much expectation for him to find proper occupation, so he occupies himself as...generally a rake. He remains very close friends with Cleon in particular even after the Incident. Pictured PB is Simu Liu.

Immediate Ties: Persephone Broadmoor Cleon Broadmoor  Ivy Sandow
Double Duty: The Paramour, Friendless Client, #CleonCrashesHere,

ENVY
[Image: e4Z3kqI.jpeg]
B. 1865-1866 | UCHB/MCHB | OPEN HOUSE | APPROPRIATE PROFESSION
"Evelyn" (it's a boy's name too!) is Sloth's cousin, and spent his summers from childhood through school at the estate outside of Bridgerton. With at least one older brother and a less than impressive list of accomplishments, his relationship with his parents has always been a strained one; indeed, he regards his summers as the happiest times of his childhood. Suggested PB is John Bradley.

Immediate Ties: Persephone Broadmoor Cleon Broadmoor  Ivy Sandow
Double Duty: Friendless Client

SLOTH
[Image: 891wWkJ_d.webp?maxwidth=760&fidelity=grand]
B. 1862-1866 | UCAB | OPEN HOUSE | OPEN ~OCCUPATION
The only child (or at least, only son) to his parents, "Henry" has always been, at best, indifferent to what they perceive as his duties to the family. This would be less problematic (or at least, more understandable!) if he actually knew what he wanted from life instead, but he has long been cursed with general apathy. He grew up on an estate north of Bridgerton. PB is wide open, but pictured is Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Double Duty: #CleonCrashesHere, Friendless Client

GLUTTONY
[Image: Q7FPy0z.jpeg]
B. 1865 | MCHB | OPEN HOUSE | POET
Cleon Broadmoor is the younger of the Broadmoor brothers, and the one with whom Persy has always been close. Much to his father's disappointment, he did not find a home in the Ministry of Magic or, really, any profession, preferring to live a life of excess and identify most prominently as a poet. Because of this lack of any notable income, he lives officially at the family home, though reguarly spends days or weeks at a time at the residences of friends. Reputation of 8 for being a pain in his dad's ass and not the most useful. Suggested PB is Harry Styles.
Played by Kit as Cleon Broadmoor

WRATH
[Image: 0MV6pNd.png]
B. Sept. 1868 to Aug. 1869 | WCMB | GRYFFINDOR | HIT WITCH OR AUROR
"Ivy" grew up in Bridgerton, though as a muggleborn, did not know any of the others until starting at Hogwarts, where she and Persy became very fast friends. Intelligent and confident but with a temper to rival any, she was never the sort of friend that the Broadmoors wanted for their daughter, but was welcomed into the group by all but Thomasin, who found her rough around the edges. Pictured PB is Amita Suman.
Played by Beanie as Ivy Sandow

For Persephone
Persephone Broadmore has long had an interest in magic and learning more about the magical world. In 1893, she descovered the writings of a pair of magical theorists, twins from Russia. Imagine her excitement when she learned they would be coming to Britain!

First names flexible~

GRIGORY MOROZOV
[Image: t5zjM0K.jpg][Image: eziolsE.jpg]
B. 1858-1862 | UCHB/UCPB/MCPB | KOLDOVSTORETZ GRADUATE | MAGICAL THEORIST
A star pupil at Koldovstoretz, Grigory was always more at home with books than people, easily the less charismatic of the twins. The two have delved deep into the very foundations of magic for more than a decade, their more palatable research being published (first in Russian, though eventually translated into other languages) and their less palatable knowledge enscribed in a tome that opens only with a drop of their own blood.

Officially, the two are making a tour of the magical schools in the world, investigating how each region's underlying understanding of magical theory has influenced their instruction—a trip financed by their own alma mater. Unofficially, they continue to deepen their understanding of the very foundations of magical ability, seeking to amass literal power so that they might, I dunno, conquer the magical world. Or Death. Or anything, really—Grigory has never been satisfied, never known the word enough.

Grigory has always measured women against his sister: if they cannot hold a truly intelligent conversation, he loses interest almost immediately. Oh, he has his daliances, but they are never satisfying enough to last long. This Miss Broadmoor, though, has a sharp and eager mind... Though first and foremost a magical theorist, it is likely that she has achieved mastery, or at least specialization, in at least one area of practical magic (transfiguration, potions, etc.) Suggested PBs are Kieran Culkin or Cillian Murphy (different approaches to a similar vibe).

Immediate Ties: Persephone Broadmoor
Potential Ties: Thaddeus Flint Cornelius Flint Ida Chang Hermia Bonaccord; Hogwarts faculty

YELIZAVETA ANTONOVA
[Image: p9wTa10.jpg]
B. 1858-1862 | UCHB/UCPB/MCPB | KOLDOVSTORETZ GRADUATE | MAGICAL THEORIST
Widowed at only twenty—perhaps not as surprising to her as it was to society—Yelizaveta followed the rules of mourning to the letter, ensoncing herself in her late husband's home (with no heirs, it went to her) and devoting herself instead to research, with her brother's partnership. The two have delved deep into the very foundations of magic for more than a decade, their more palatable research being published (first in Russian, though eventually translated into other languages) and their less palatable knowledge enscribed in a tome that opens only with a drop of their own blood.

Officially, the two are making a tour of the magical schools in the world, investigating how each region's underlying understanding of magical theory has influenced their instruction—a trip financed by their own alma mater. Unofficially, they continue to deepen their understanding of the very foundations of magical ability, seeking to amass literal power so that they might, I dunno, conquer the magical world. Or Death. Or anything, really—Yelizaveta just likes the idea of conquest.

Yelizaveta is a decided flirt, though publicly is not scandalous about it. She has, however, absolutely no intention of ever remarrying; widowhood has afforded her the freedom she so yearned for as a girl, and besides—if not even her brother has ever quite matched her intellect, how could possibly find another man who wouldn't bore her? Though first and foremost a magical theorist, it is likely that she has achieved mastery, or at least specialization, in at least one area of practical magic (transfiguration, potions, etc.) Suggested PB is Kate Siegel.

ISHMAEL | ESTER
~
Ishmael doesn't often turn people into vampires, but when he does, it's usually because he's gotten attached. He met this one while he was still human, magic or muggle, and has either seen him on and off since then or he's fallen off his radar for a while and showed up in Britain out of the blue. His backstory is very flexible, as he will be younger than Ishmael but can be from anywhere between then and now, be it from Revolutionary America, turn-of-the-century France, or basically anywhere from Britain, Europe, or Asia. I'd prefer you to talk to me first, obviously, so we can hash out the details - but I'm very open! This character can be either permanent or temporary, depending on what you want to do with them: either way, come join the vamp!drama!

VAMPIRE BROMANCE

B.???? | WC VAMPIRE | PB: OPEN

This dude once helped Ishmael out of a bind, and they became friendly after that. In fact, they were such bros that when this guy got in a life-threatening situation, Ishmael got sentimental and rescued him from his untimely deathbed. Or that's how Ishmael remembers it. This guy is much less cool with being a vampire than Ishmael is; being a good, honest, moral person, he has issues with drinking people's blood and may well have a lot of #angst if he has killed people in the past. Understandably, this has caused a bit of a rift in their friendship - Ishmael just wants him to lighten up and have fun so they can continue to be bros eternally. Pictured is Jake Gyllenhaal but face is totally open, depending on their background.
~
THE ARTIST

B.?? | MCAB | PB: OPEN

Since her first scandalous affair with a pornographer, Ester has made a habit of hanging around with men in ~artistic circles, and here is one of them! “Raphael” all but considers himself a Renaissance painter reincarnated, an artistic genius who’ll go down in history. At some point in his life he chose to immerse himself fully in his passion for painting, though while he awaits his critical success in the galleried world, he may help make ends meet by offering above-board portrait sittings and dabbling in photography (and pornography). While on the surface a perfectly respectable character, he straddles society worlds between the upper and lowest classes – obviously, because he is also (privately) friends with Ester. She often gets modelling work for and through him. More charming than he is romantic, he will however go to any lengths to pursue a new muse when he finds himself ‘inspired’ by a perfect new face, even if it means ambushing them in the street. Face is totally open, but pictured is Oscar Isaac.

THE HARLOT

B.?? | WCAB | PB: OPEN

Unlike Ester, who grew up comfortably, “Georgiana” had a tough childhood, and emerged from it under no illusions about the world, but with an uncanny knack of always landing on her feet. A prostitute by profession, though she dips her toe into the modelling world as well, she and Ester enjoy butting heads about their differences and occasionally squabble over men, but for all their bickering they are best friends, and Ester trusts her more than anyone else. Pictured is Billie Piper.

Marlowe Forfang
Still seeking: Aug 2023
I've been seeking this character for actual years guys some one help me


TWO POSSIBLE ROUTES; EXISTING CHARACTERS OR COMBINATIONS WITH OTHER ADS SUPER WELCOME!

Route A: No, that's my pseudonym! Someone takes credit for Juliana's work. Are they trying to discredit it? Bolster their own academic portfolio? Hide the fact that they're a werewolf and were nearly discovered by giving themselves a plausible excuse for being out on full moons? Give credence to some far-fetched creature-related claim they're invested in making? The choice is yours. This can be any new or existing character but for best results should have some combination of these traits which would make them look like a more likely candidate for Marlowe Forfang than Juliana: male; middle aged or older; good (complete) education; scholar/academic; relevant life experience; upper class; etc.

I have a few plot notions for the near future but no particular endgame!

Route B: Identity theft This gentleman (or person who presents as such) can be any age and from any background, but shouldn't be recognizable on sight in society. He has recently decided to introduce himself as Professor Marlowe Forfang, groundbreaking lycanthropy researcher. His motive for doing so is up to you but some ideas are included below. After being exposed to some other people in the academic community, however, he quickly realizes he's in over his head. Juliana is torn between being livid that he stole her work and wanting to expose him (but not knowing how to do so without exposing herself as well) and wanting to sort of My Fair Lady him into a semi-presentable academic so that he doesn't entirely destroy her credibility as a researcher.

Shenanigans will abound. I don't have an endgame in mind but don't see this as a super temporary character, so if you're interested in taking him you should be in for the long-ish haul. Existing characters (with or without retcons) are welcome!

Pictured PB is Arjun Gupta but it's open to anyone.

Potential motives for the identity theft:
— He wants a steady job and is using Forfang's credentials to apply for a position as: Hogwarts CoMC, DADA, or Magical Theory professor; Ministry's DR&CMC; Ministry's Research Committee; contrator for some sort of company who could use a 'werewolf expert' for some upcoming task like a trip through the Balkans; etc.
— He wants to collect some modest income from staging bullshit Q&A sessions or book signings.
— He wants to live large on the reputation piece (because living off credit was totally a feasible thing in this era if you were respected enough).
— He's pulling off some totally unrelated scam and using the fake name to engender trust in his target/mark.
— He's trying to court/marry someone whose parents wouldn't approve and he's therefore reinvented himself as Forfang thinking they'll be more on board with that.
— He needed a clean start after some shady background stuff and just happened upon this reclusive academic and thought it'd be a good fit.

The Childhood Pal
Madeleine Backus

'Jude'

b. Open| MCUC/AB| Business man| Childhood Bestie | Suggested PB: Harry Richardson

Maddie and 'Jude' were friends as children, the difference in their classes was never a problem - or at least never noticed.  When they went to school the differences began to show, and their friendship was confined almost exclusively to the summers.  He departed on his grand tour after school, around the same time that she went to Russia.  They managed a few social interactions in St. Petersburg, but when they returned to England time and society has meant that they have not interacted much. 

He is the eldest son, and has at least one younger sister, of whom Maddie was also fond.  He is kind hearted, generous, and good natured.  He is an idealist, not a radical but thinks its his responsibility to do better in the world.  His parents are dead and he is the gaurdian for his siblings.  He may work - either as a business owner, venture capitalist, or ministry.  He isn't an auror or curse breaker. 

His family could be self made, or risen from a rank that would have made their friendship increasingly more difficult as they got older and his families expectations for him changed.  Or old money with absentee parents for the time in which they were closest. 

This role is fairly open and could be developed out in a few ways - so very little is set in absolute stone.

The Childhood Pal
Karina Dolohovna

'Alexi'

b. 21-25| WCAB| Male Dancer/works for Ballet| Star crossed lovers | Suggested PB: Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Alexi's origins and family are open, but also worked at the Marisnky Ballet with Karina and Sophia.  He and Rina were close coming up together as dancers, and she considers him her first love.  When Rina came to England, he was part of the gaggle of people who followed Sophia.  Their relationship is odd and difficult - they have a deep romantic affection for each other, but neither can afford to commit to an exclusive relationship, knowing it would damage their careers and couldn't afford to forgo patrons.  As such they don't even like to put it into words.  He hates that she is constantly looking for a patron, and as another junior member of the ballet, he likely has a society lover - male or female but he is straight. 


The Rebels
Christabel Daphnel

The Rebels know each other from school and their respective social circles.  They are close, companionable and all rather opposed to the status quo in their own way. 
They have 'English' names but may have chosen to 'Irish-ise' them which was the fashion among the Irish UC set at the time!

'Sorcha Ni Dochartaigh' '

b. 26 | UCAB | Painter | Society Wife | Suggested PB: Elinor Tomlinson

Her father is/was a prominent politician in Ireland, he is a liberal in support of home rule.  She was given a great deal of latitude and while she has done the 'right' thing socially and is either married or widowed but this just gives her the freedom to be as outspoken as she likes.  She is a painter of some note, specialising in magical society portraits but has a bee in her bonnet about her exclusion from the various painter academies despite being recognised as an exceptional and talented painter.  She did a notable magical portrait of someone of important (OPEN). 
Her schooling is open, but she had Christabel have known each other from girlhood. She is a little more agnostic about Ireland's position as independent of England but is part of the Celtic revival.  She liked Victor and thought marriage to him would be good for Christabel. 

'Padraig Mac Ruadhain '

b. 26 | UCAB | Writer| Heir | Suggested PB: Christian Cooke

An heir that is in danger of being a disappointment to his parents.  Despite being a staple of the establishment he has grown to be rather anti-establishment.  However, he is an only child and his father hates his own brother enough to not disown his son.  There was an expectation that he might excel in politics or in the ministry however he hasn't the tact to make much of a go of that.  What he is is bright and an excellent writer with an ability to write deeply persuasive texts.  His writing might very well be considered seditious by the more staid members upper echelons of society as it talks a lot of gender and class equality but it's popular among younger and more liberal UC and of course the WC and MC who are encouraged by it.  Think a social problem novelist, with better connections than Dickens. 
He does believe in Ireland's independence, and is considering making a run for a new parliament in Dublin if it appears - mostly to make a point, but is aiming for the Wizengemot first.  He and Christabel have been friends since before puberty.  He encourages some of her worst traits of rebelliousness and being outspoken.

Sadhbh Rua

b. 26 | UCAB | Painter | Most traditional| Suggested PB: Crystal Clarke

Set apart all her life by her ethnicity, Sadhbh for a long time wanted desperately to fit in and as such has mastered every womanly art to a degree that would make Olivia Pendergast sit up and take note.  However, she was jilted shortly after her debut by a man who cited her ethnicity as an impediment but she considers herself British and found that the worst part of the snub - that he didn't consider her British enough to marry.  She may have made another match but she now see's her ethnicity as a badge of honor and not something she should count against her.  Her paintings feature ethnicity as a prominent theme. 

She attends the Hermetic order with Christabel because she thinks rich white muggles pretending to do African and Middle Eastern magic is hilarious. 

The Kindred Spirit
Casimir Markievicz

Casimiri

b. 30+ | UCAB | Poet and Lawyer | Temper for a Firebrand | Suggested PB: Ewan McGregor

So as his names suggests he is based on a real person- but his played name is open. He was a second son, and in true Victorian style he trained in the law, as it was expected that he would need to 'do' something. His relationship with the law and legal practice is open but he is also a painter and playwrite. This is his true passion.

He is liberal in his views, supporting women's vote and favoring equality of ethnicity and class. He is a trade union supporter and a theoretical socialist. He had an elder brother who died and as a result of the death he became the heir which has allowed him to indulge his passion for writing and producing artistic ventures.  He is one of the friend group, and tried to talk Christabel out of marrying on the basis it wasn't right for her.  He may have a mistress, asylum wife and/or illegitimate children.  This is who he is based on

First Mate!
Isis Silverthorne

Mr _____ Gibbs

b. 55+ | ACAB | Sea Dog | First mate of the Black Kite | Suggested PB: Bob Hoskins

He has been aboard the Black Kite since before Isis was born and when her father died he all but took on the role of father to Isis.  He is an experienced sailor who misses the proper days when the Kite was a true merchant navy vessel, under her father and grandfather and is softly disapproving of the shadier work that Isis takes on.  He has seen some shiz in his time as a sailor and is full of war stories. 

He was a very talented wizard, a second son from well to do wizarding family, he was born on the 29th of February and so is 'technically' only 15 or 16 in age.  The problem is his indentures papers to the Black Kite state that he will remain an apprentice to the captain of the Black Kite until his 21st Birthday - and his birthday only happens every 4 years.  He has a strict personal duty code and so refuses to leave before his contract his done. 

He is one of few people Isis listens to and does not mind his parental type meddling. 

Gotta Get with my Friends!
Natsuko Foxwood

____

b. 30+ | UCPB | went to Mahoutokoro  | His job if he has one is something nerdy | Suggested PB: John Cho

He is the second son of a wealthy family.  He is disinclined towards society but intelligent.  He just wants to be left alone with whatever he does and would probably be happier as a middle class member of society - free of certain social obligations.  He isn't cruel, vain or capricious, but with 'big kid in sweetshop' vibes.  However, his mother is ambitious and keen to see her sons marry for comfort and position - this second son is her favorite and so a girl with cash was always on the cards.  There was the idea that England would also allow him step out from his brother's shadow - and he sees it as an opportunity to also get out from his mothers nagging - as to whether she accompanies him and spoils his plan, or not, would be up to you.  He and Natsuko met at the match makers, she accepted the offer from her Englishman but he and Suki have kept in touch as friends.  Suki would like to match him with her friend Ida.


Stressful Friend
Murdock Greyback Merida Greyback Alasdair Greyback

____

b. 30+ | UCAB | Ministry - Werewolf Capture Unit | Suggested PB: Geralt by open

A close friend of the Greybacks.  As young men they were as thick as thieves, as close as brothers, and he was as often at the reach as the Greyback family.  He left for some years and has kept in touch with the Greyback brothers via letter, but has been vague as to his job, not on purpose but just because he didn't think it was significant and the Greybacks believe that he is just an official working for the Romania/Bulgarian/other ministry of magic. 

He has now returned to take the postition of head of the werewolf capture unit. He is keen to reignite his close friendship with his long time friends...the Greybacks are stressed out by this for obvious reasons!

The Buddies
Bernard Prewett

____

b. Circa 53 | UCAB | Open | Suggested PB: Bill Bailey and Tasmin Greig - but open

'Emmanuel'
Best friends since school they are an unlikely pair.  Manny is as optimistic, jovial, and outgoing as Bernard is quiet and unassuming.  If it wasn't for Manny, Bernard would likely not be out in society much at all.  It was Manny who started the joke of buying Bernard pets that all share his name.  He travels frequently and is a popular social man.  He was a blessed first son, who despite looking after his family is kind, open and warm.  He is unmarried or widowed, he could have kids or the care of wards.  He is a very nurturing paternalistic person.  His job is open, as his name and family, he could be doubled up with other ads (encouraged)/be an existing character. His house is open but he has strong Huffledor vibes - he is unlikely to be a Slytherin.
'Francesca'
A close friend of 'the boys' from school - she was very appropriate for much of her youth.  She and Bernard briefly considered each other in a romantic fashion, but there was nothing really in it.  They have nothing other than platonic feelings for each other now, but it felt like one of those things that made sense in the flush of youth.  She is considerably more like Manny than she is like Bernard.  Socialable, popular, good at organising events.  She married, and has kids.  Her husband is heavily involved in quidditch.  He is a kind, if dispassionate person, their marriage is formal but not cruel.  They could be a love match, but he should be content for her to do her own thing/spend her time with her bezzie mates.  She is one of the more outgoing socialites and isn't too concerned about what people think of her, but she has an excellent reputation as a successful hostess.  She could be doubled up with other wanteds/be an existing character. 

Professor of Alchemy!
Meserimus Valenduris

Ceaser Pavesio

b. OLD | ACAB | Italian abstraction | Researcher in Alchemy | Suggested PB: Derek Jacobi

He and Meserimus have known each other  a long time, he has come to London ostensibly to work on a research  project with Meserimus.  He is staying in Meserimus Hogsmeade home with him and his family for the summers. 

The pair are researching the intersection between potions and alchemy, specifically if potions can be used to augment the purity and efficacy of alchemical works (Get better quality gold through the use of potions) and to see if potions transmuted potions ingrediants work better or worse than a real item.  The aim being that it would be useful/easier to transmute a common substance into a rare potions ingrediant

Intended to be a TEMP but feel free to keep him around for your own reasons (Oh look Hogwarts needs an Alchemy prof!?)

Sarah - Partner in Crime!
Gwendolyn Vane-Tempest

'Sarah'

b. Open| WCAB | Maid | Mother to Illegitimate child | Suggested PB: Sarah Gadon

How Sarah and Gwen came into contact is open, she could have worked for Gwen, or been a randomer but around the time Gwen got pregnant, she found herself unmarried and preggers.  And the two struck up a deal.  She would get a role in Gwen's household, and eventually be set for life, and Gwen would get her baby.  Gwen and a small group of maids went off to the country for her laying in and Sarah's.  They had their children, Gwen's monster was quickly hidden away and Sarah's bouncing baby boy was passed off as the new Viscount Aldstone. 

Sarah is now the only person other than Gwen who knows about the rat child's existence and she is it's sole career.  She is bound by an unbreakable vow not to reveal what passed between them.

The relationship between herself and Gwen could could one of two ways:
1- they HATE each other but have to keep up appearances because of their deal
2- they are actually close and see the mutual benefit to their arrangement.
It will likely depend on the circumstances of Sarah's pregnancy.   

Can be a temp character - and the roles of rat baby mum and carer could be split.

The Lost Sprog
Gwendolyn Vane-Tempest

'Harry'

b. Open| ACHB |Illegitimate  Incoming Firstie| Should be a 'Right Honourable'...but tough luck | Suggested PB: Sarah Gadon

The first child of Gwen.  He was the result of Gwen fooling around and so his birth was all hushed up and he was passed off to another family -possibly his fathers.  Now that Gwen has her horrible little secret her perfect first born might be of interest to the Countess!

WELCOME TO AVALON GLEN

Hello friends!  Before we get started, I do have a few policies regarding my adoptables:
  • Please reserve your character with me before apping!
  • Obviously, I'd prefer activity from anyone to take these on XD If, after six months, I don't think you're doing much with them (I have very lax standards, don't worry!), I reserve the right to ask you to give them up so someone more active may take them on.
  • I'll give you two weeks after loosing a character in an AC before I put them back up for grabs! If you drop them via Maintenance, they become immediately available again. If you just want to temp drop them, talk to me first! :)
  • Anyone picking up one of my ads must include the family and personality sections. I provide the family in all my applications so just mentioning the names is quite fine by me. Personality can be as minimal as three basic traits, just so I know for sure that our ideas of the character mesh.
If you have any questions about any of the characters below, fire off a PM to Aldous Crouch, catch me on skype, or stalk me in the cbox ;)

THE GLEN

Avalon Glen ("The Glen") is an unplottable patch of of land between two likewise unplottable mountains. It is not accessible via apparition, nor are any of the fireplaces hooked up tot he floo network (with the exception of the local pub, Smoke & Scale, and the Yarwood homes). Indeed, it is impossible to enter unless you already know where it is—and for good reason: in addition to the large manor house of the Yarwood family, patrons of the Glen as well as a nearby magical village, it is home to a dragon reservation for the native Welsh Greens, boasting anywhere from 5-10 keepers and, at last estimation, approximately 42 dragons.

Our Cast
Names, faces, and ethnicities are mostly open. Ages are mostly flexible!
RHYS GLYNN
[Image: kwkXrL4.jpg]
24-26 | WCHB | OPEN HOUSE | TREE FARMER
To Gwyn, Rhys was her first crush, first kiss. To Rhys, Gwyn was his first heartbreak. Today, they remain as friends, with Rhys pretending that it doesn't bother him when Gwyn tries to set him up with the village girls. The eldest of the Glynn children, it is expected that Rhys will take over the farm, a fate with which he is actually quite delighted. Unlike most of his siblings, he completed a full seven years at Hogwarts, going on to apprentice as a herbologist before bringing this knowledge home to aid the family endeavour. Pictured is Joe Dempsie.

Immediate Ties: Gwyn Conway Enid Glynn
Potential Connections: Nigel Yarwood

MR. FARRIS
[Image: XoN16fJ.jpg]
45+ | MCAB | RAVENCLAW | MAGIZOOLOGIST
There are three things Mr. Farris loves: magical creatures, Matilda (his only child, whom he is determined will marry one of the Yarwood boys), and good port. There are three things Mr. Farris loathes: the feeling of mud in his boots, critical book reviews, and women behaving in an unladylike fashion. Oh, he tolerates Gwendolyn Yarwood's riding astride her horse for she is otherwise an excellent hostess, and he wants access to the Glen for his research, but he doesn't like it. And he certainly doesn't like the little girl playing at being a dragonkeeper! PB is open but should be either white or East Asian.

Immediate Ties: Matilda Farris Gwyn Conway Howell Howell Nigel Yarwood Madoc Yarwood
Potential Ties: Conall MacKay Eavan Miller Wallace Murphy Pablo Medina
Doubly Duty: Marlowe Forfang

SEVERUS YARWOOD
[Image: zM4KVJf.jpg]
25-30 | UCHB/UCPB | SLYTHERDOR | PRO QUIDDITCH PLAYER
The eldest child of the late — Yarwood and his cousin, the great Gwendolyn Yarwood, Severus bears not only his family's name, but their expectations upon his shoulders, even though all he wants to do is play quidditch. He hardly ever goes to the Glen, preferring the comforts of Hogsmeade.

He has little doubt that he will inherit when his mother passes, but also she is formidable AF so he doubts very much that will happen anytime soon. Pictured PB is Jacob Elordi.

Immediate Ties: Madoc Yarwood Nigel Yarwood Matilda Farris
Bonus Ties: Draconia Yarwood
Double Duty: House of Memories
Potential Ties: Raphael Malfoy Theodore Gallivan Jack Humphrey-Mavis Arthur Pettigrew Mundungus MacFusty Anthony Alderton Augusta Robins Citrine Weasley Yassine Bensouda Roberto Devine Owain Edwards Wallace Bixby Cassius Lestrange

Our Supporting Players
Almost everything is flexible!

"LAMB"
[Image: eP56fLk.jpg]
40ish | WCAB | OPEN HOUSE | DRAGONKEEPER
Going exclusively by his last name (or at least, Gwyn assumes it's his last name), "Lamb" has been at the Glen from the start, but in spite of his seeming friendship with Madoc Yarwood, was not appointed Head Keeper. It doesn't seem to bother him too much, though he does have a bit of a temper on him that seems to worsen around his days off—which fall roughly as often as the full mooon... Pictured PB is Jason Clarke.

Immediate Ties: Gwyn Conway Howell Howell Nigel Yarwood Madoc Yarwood Raj Sandow
Potential Ties: Enid Glynn
Double Duty: Yuri's Natal Fam

"MARI"
[Image: U1zGWJh.jpg]
30-40 | WCAB | NO HOGWARTS | DRAGONKEEPER
"Mari" is the only other female dragonkeeper. Rather than share a room like some of the male keepers, "Mari" and Gwyn are able to have (signifigantly smaller) single rooms—and Mari has made it clear that if another woman comes into the house, Gwyn will be moving, not her. "Mari" is rather tight-lipped about her family and history, but happy (enough) to chat otherwise. She knows her own mind and has a stubbornness that rivals both Howell and Gwyn. In spite of not having a formal education, "Mari" is an animagus—which counts as "history" and so she will not discuss it. Period. Suggested PB is Michelle Rodriguez.

Immediate Ties: Gwyn Conway Howell Howell Nigel Yarwood Madoc Yarwood Raj Sandow
Potential Ties: Enid Glynn
Double Duty:

"ARAM"
[Image: 6ush6i9.jpg]
24-34 | MCAB | GRYFFINCLAW | DRAGONKEEPER
"Aram" did not win points with his family when he decided to eschew the family business (architecture) in favour of dragonkeeping. His relationship with them, as a result, is strained (and his reputation a bit lower), with his mother constantly fretting that he is going to die and his father refusing to speak to him. "Aram" is incredibly capable. He is introverted, but not unfriendly, and is thought well of by both Madoc Yarwood and Mr. Farris. Pictured PB is Marcus Rutherford.

Immediate Ties: Gwyn Conway Howell Howell Nigel Yarwood Madoc Yarwood Raj Sandow
Potential Ties: Enid Glynn
Double Duty:

"PRYCE"
[Image: eIpFSCW.jpg]
40+ | WCAB | OPEN HOUSE | OWNER OF THE SMOKE & SCALE
Owner and frequent barkeep at the Smoke & Scale, the pub with the distinction of possessing the only public Floo in all of Avalon Glen. Becasue of this, "Pryce" knows just about everyone in the Glen—as well as everything that goes on. Though not originally from the Glen, his (late) wife was, and he returned to her home village after her death of the Laughing Plague. What he did prior to that is up to the player, but he has a seemingly endless arsenal of unexpected skills. Suggested PB is Nick Offerman.

The Old Flame
for Tala Moreno


Ex-Fiancé
[Wide Open PB]
1855-1860ish | MCAB | 7+ rep

This is wildly open! Age is flexible as is ethnicity, in fact I would prefer a gentleman of color! It was established that he worked in her field (herbology) somehow, but even that I'm open to discussion!

The backstory is that the pair met in 1887 and the gent was immediately taken with Tala. She takes a little time to warm up but eventually did. She was fond of him, but probably not as in love as he was. This didn't bother her as she thought a marriage based on mutual respect and fondness would be enough for her!

Then the Pink Letter Scandal in 1888 happened and BOOM! Tala was involved and found herself eloping under the influence of amortentia with an acquaintance Asha Bilton. They had the marriage annulled quickly, but the damage was done and the ex-fiancé had a hard time getting over it so the engagement was dissolved as well. Upset, but understanding as she could be, Tala picked up her pieces and went off to do an internship elsewhere to work more intensively in her field.

Now that she's back, I would love for some awkward run-ins and angst!

Please double him up, fit him into another wanted and/or family so that there are maximum connections! Got ideas? Hit me up!

SWEETIE

~
For Sweetie
Sweetie Whitledge | Acacia Darlington | Fredrick Patton

Chrysanta Ruskin

b. 1872 | MCHB/Half-Vampire | Slytherin House | Ministry | Lili Reinhart

Sweetie and Chrysanta have been best friends since some time in their first year of Hogwarts. Both were known as some of the meaner girls in school... until the half-breed ban. Sweetie and Chrysanta went through a lot during that time and stood with one another through it all. Chrysanta knows a lot about the details from Sweetie's perspective regarding the Handsome Incidents. Since graduating (a year late due to the ban), Chrysanta found herself employed somewhere in the Department for the Regulation & Control of Magical Creatures and has been a prominent advocate for half-breed rights and revoking the marriage ban.

In the wake of the Ministerial Election, Chrysanta likely wishes to move forward with activism work even without Sweetie's active backing. Their friendship may or may not have some tension that comes with political stress, but they still have each other's backs.

She's been previously played twice.
Mrs. Patton

b. 1837-1843 | UCAB | Open House | Socialite | Catherine Tate

Mrs. Patton took Sweetie under her wing when Sweetie joined The Society for the Transfiguration Arts. Mrs. Patton has been a member for several years and is an accomplished witch in the magical subject. One or more of her own children may have even joined the society themselves. She definitely has a few daughters, some now married, and she may have a son or two. Her personality is largely open, as long as it isn't one that would clash to severely from Sweetie's. She may or may not be attempting to hurl one of her eligible sons at Sweetie.

She was the main face for campaign managers in Sweetie's campaign and played an active roll. This likely had an impact on her reputation.

THE FAMILY ROWLE

Patriarch Algernon Rowle is a control freak in the extreme. In fact, he is such a control freak that he eventually just put all his children under the Imperius Curse so he wouldn’t have to worry about them ruining everything.

Unfortunately for him, he is in a coma following a stroke and the children are Awake Now. WHAT WILL THEY DO ONCE THEY PIECE TOGETHER WHAT HE HAS DONE?

IRIS ROWLE

Merlin's beard, Iris should have been a boy. Oh, she doesn't want to play quidditch or wrestle or anything like that, but she has a sharp intellect and great ambitions that she expects her father to do everything in his power to quash. She pushes the line but doesn't quite cross it in any meaningful way, but grows more and more frustrated by the narrow mold her family expects her to fit into. PB is open, but should fit the family.

FORSYTHIA ROWLE

1882 | UCPB | TBD | FIRST YEAR ('93)
Forsythia has always been more timid than her elder sister—but that doesn't mean she isn't intelligent. She just has always viewed the world through a different lens. She finds her aunt's Sight entirely eerie (and indeed, distrusts/avoids all seers) and clams up altogether in her grandfather's presence. She does not have much of a relationship with either parent, and is eager to attend Hogwarts. PB is open, but should fit the family.

The firstborn son to a firstborn son, Esmond has known for as long as he can remember what is expected of him, and puts on an excellent front—when people who matter are looking. First to his nanny, and now to his governess, though, he is an absolute hellion prone to distruction, chaos, and general mischief. PB is open, but should fit the family.

Forgive the ugly, iPad posting :’)

The Caretaker / Companion

Natalia” (name super open) was hired to be Miranda’s caretaker / companion about four months ago. Her duties included to pretty much keep Miranda company and chaperone her on the very rare outings around Hogsmeade. A lower middle class woman around Miranda’s age, either spinstered or widowed. She’s a fully human pureblood or “pureblood” (any muggle relations were generations ago or very well hidden). She didn’t know that Miranda was under the Imperio Curse, but she had begun to suspect that something isn’t quite right with Miranda, though she couldn’t put her finger down on what.

Imagine her surprise when one day, Miranda is suddenly “cured” from the sickness that was keeping her bound to a wheelchair, except now she’s very anxious and at times snippy. She will grow to become a friend of Miranda’s though what her motivations are is largely open. I also want her to be the one to help Miranda find substances to deal with her post Imperio withdrawal symptoms. Maybe she’s a really good potioneer herself? Or she’s good with plants and will supply Mira with magical strains of cannabis.

Maybe together the two women will experience “freedom” together? Or maybe “Natalia” is just using a very gullible Mira for her own gains.

PB / etchnicity is very open!

HENRY BYTHESEA
[Image: af412b03f092a0f1cd3fbb39096e193c.gif]
B. 1850| UCPB | OPEN HOUSE | OPEN OCCUPATION
Sera and Henry met during her first season in 1878, but she dismissed him as boring and average-looking. A few months later, while she was cursed, she ended up courting him and they were married in 1879. Henry's occupation is hella open (but he is a second son, and it should be money-generating), but a few personality things aren't. Henry thinks his wife has been in a laudanum haze for fifteen years, and never tried to stop this; and he shows off the children, but is distant with them and occasionally physically abusive (Sera does not know this). Otherwise, his reaction to his wife's awakening is super open! Sera wants to trust her husband — as a partner, not with the secret — but has no idea that he hurts the children, and things are likely to blow up when she does find out. Also she might cheat on him, TBD.

Pictured is Warren Kole, but PB is hella open.

ELAINE’S PLOTTABLE ADS



Welcome to my insanity, wanted ads for my characters as they stand. This will obviously be updated more as I make more characters, because I’ve got the character bug and it won’t go away. As for rules, I only have a few. First and most important, please contact me before making any character connected to mine, whether they have a full advertisement or not. I’d like to make sure your character fits into the vision I have in my head. Second, play-bys are largely just suggestions. Where a play-by is entirely open, POC is encouraged. Reputations are somewhat negotiable, though should be appropriate for the ad.

Each advertising section with more than one character listed will scroll; if there is only one character, it’s likely not long enough to have needed the scroll effect. Some will have a prelude section as well, featuring a gif of my character in the family.

Victoria Greyback



The Flirt
b. 1873/74 | 9
Open class of '92 | UCPB
suggested: Tom Glynn Carey

The story with The Flirt is a short one, and tragic for Victoria. He was tutoring her in Ghoul Studies for some months before the Slytherin house matron caught them holding hands in the common room. The tutoring sessions ended, but the flirtation did not — at least until the end of the school year, when he put a stop to it — he was graduating, and his parents would never allow him to match with a halfblood, because his family is purist. Worse, they have no interest in marrying their children to redheads.

HESTIA | IRENE | THE MERCHANT PLOT

~
The Basilisk’s Pit

Welcome to the Iron Fang Inn. Having been given management of this new establishment, there will soon be a bunch of new faces that Hestia must get to know (some she may already know). Each of them criminals possessing their own agenda and cunning, and none of them trusting the other, they must learn to operate as a group; maybe even a family. All of their lives depend upon the survival of this inn where black market materials are laundered through.

This is loosely inspired by the TV show Yellowstone, so do be aware that I aim to make this plot a bit more gritty, with possible mature themes & violence. Rest assured that nothing would be sprung on you (unless you want lmao), but these guys are in the criminal world which never comes with sunshines and rainbows xD

Manager
❧ THE TONGUE ❧

Hestia

Hestia is the first woman on the premises, and tasked with keeping everyone in line. The pressure is on her to keep everyone together, however that's going to be difficult when there's significant in-fighting. The Tongue can be anywhere within the inn, but can often be seen at the front desk with The Tail, and will send The Tail after anyone who she thinks may be suspicious. Should someone need persuading to reveal their information, it's The Tongue and Stomach that are in charge of making sure that information is passed on.

Chef
❧ THE STOMACH ❧

Hestia has a former friend who saved her one night from an assault. They would have stayed friends except when Hestia punched the assaulter in return, the guy had charges drawn against Hestia and called the friend as a witness. The Tongue was blackmailed into a) not telling and b) testifying against Hestia. He is now just returning from abroad for this job, however neither of them have any idea they’re about to be thrown together. Their reunion is not going to be pretty. The Tongue oversees the daily schedule of The Ribs, and acts as the brawn to keep them in check - and anyone who passes through who doesn’t adhere to the rules.

The Housekeeper
❧ THE HEAD ❧

In charge of the house keeping staff, The Head is in charge of transportation of the goods that pass through. Guests check in for at least one night, leave their proclaimed goods in their rooms for The Ribs to collect, who then report to The Head and The Stomach.

Welcome Witch
❧ THE TAIL ❧

Reserved for Emma

Skilled with a sharp eye and acute intelligence, the Welcome Witch is tasked with checking everyone in at the front. Often working in tandem with The Tongue at the front desk, they are the eyes and ears of the establishment. To the outside world, she is merely a welcome witch, and perhaps only useful with her smile and people skills. The rest of the Iron Fang employees know this is quite the opposite. Acting as book keeper, there is nothing going on within the Iron Fang that The Tail isn't aware of. Everything that passes through the inn, she knows about. Skilled in stealth and tracking, in the event that someone needs to be followed, she is dispatched.

While the above positions are limit to one person only, the below can have as many as possible. These folks may be those who need part time jobs, and may be involved in the crime syndicate already as couriers, rooks, pawns or even targets.

Housekeeping & Wait Staff
❧ THE RIBS ❧
Housekeeping staff are responsible for collecting the merchandise and reporting the findings to The Head & The Heart. Wait Staff are in charge of making sure every formula and that passes through is up to standards. They report to the The Head & The Heart.

The Desperate Romantics


[Enter IRENE, RÉMY, HÉLÈNE, MOLLY and MATEO; a group of artists and creatives from Italy who met during a summer intensive.]


Their friendship was somewhat forged through the fires of their strict art professor who was fair, but relentless. Over the next few months, the crew settled into a routine of going to school and hanging out afterwards, where their nights consisted of chats of romance, tragedy, family and life in general. Following an incident after Irene leaves Italy, they all decide to move to England together, with Molly's family owning the building where they rent out rooms.
MENTIONED IN —
II. Melancholia | III. CONFLUENCE

Hippolyte Toulouse 'Rémy'

b. 1863 | MCHB | Beauxbatons | Artist |
Taken by K I T

Arguably the most talented of  the group, Remy is loyal and an all around cheerful chap. Having grown up in France alongside Helene, they often speak rapidfire French with each other until otherwise stopped by someone else in the group; usually Mateo or Irene that throws their shoes at them. During one of her last weeks in Italy, Irene figures out that Remy is in love with Mateo. Irene, predictably, bonds with him having been in a similar position in the Spring.

Hélène Bataille

b. 1863 | MCHB | Beauxbatons | Artist |

Always the calm and collected one, it's hard to find something that phases Helene. She tends to walk everywhere and rarely displays any kind of stress or urgency. Cynical and protective, Helene was widowed 3 years ago and left with a decent nest egg by her husband to take care of their child. This fact, Helene is not ashamed of, but does not see fit to let people know. There is decidedly not a maternal vibe about her; in fact, most of the group aside from Remy didn’t realize that Helene had a child until she revealed it two months into their intensive. However, she is often the one to talk people into doing things they might be scared to do. While persuasive, she is not pushy or intrusive.

Molly Brown

b. 1868 | UCHB | Ilvermorny | Artist |

Possibly the richest of the bunch, Molly Brown is an American heiress who is a bit more timid than the rest. Her father and mother are American as well and are looking to immigrate to the UK in the following few years. While at first a shy creature, Molly eventually comes out of her shell among the group. She can sometimes be the voice of reason, but most of the time is a bit of an anxious mess. She wants to make her parents proud, however with an overachieving brother and sister back home, she finds it hard to live up to them. The group all try and encourage Molly to calm down every once in a while. Oh, and her family back home is involved with the mob. Possibly with The Merchant (see The Merchant Plot above) as well.

Giacomo 'Mateo' Gasparini

b. 1863 | UCPB | Beauxbatons | Artist |

Mateo is the most boisterous, unafraid of drawing attention to himself or making some noise (like a true Italian). While he's often the one to help cheer Molly up, he could be a bit a tortured soul; with an extremely purist family family, he is being told by his them to choose a path: artistry or to lose his inheritance. He was also made to take an Unbreakable Vow - the timeline and specifications are up to the player.

Bree's Plottables

Hello! Thanks for looking at my plottables! If you're interested in taking one, I only ask that you follow these simple rules:
  • Please contact me before writing a whole app up and posting them! I'd hate to waste your time if things have changed since the ad was posted or if someone has already agreed to take them and I've forgotten to mark them as reserved <3
  • Please include the personality section in all apps, just to make sure we're on the same page!

Hogwarts Breakroom Drama

Note: Existing and new characters who don't fit these specific ads are welcome to join in! These are just suggestions that I think would add extra angst to the existing drama! <3

Cleander Huxley | Mercy McKinnon


"ALORA"

b. 1858-1860 | MCAB | Hogwarts | Professor (pre-1890) | Suggested PB: Greta Onieogou

"Alora" (name open to the player) has been a professor since at least 1890 and is known as the staff gossip. She knows more than she should about the social lives of staff and students alike and enjoys getting involved in situations she has no business being in. She's not malicious, just bored—which is why she's immediately drawn to Mercy after catching wind of the situation between her and Cleander. She probably sponsors a club and is known for having a "fun" class.

THE SWEETHEART
B. 1873-1876 | WC/MCAB | ANY HOUSE | OPEN OCCUPATION | PB: OPEN

Wallace has been a grief stricken mess since the death of his sister on July 4, 1893. This young woman can be someone he newly met, someone he already knew, etc. We can hash that out to see what feels right. At any rate, she has became a source of comfort for Wallace. Which eventually culminated in them sleeping together. For maximum plottage, I would prefer that she not be a student. And for transparency, I do intend this to be a romance. As her placeholder name implies, she is a sweetheart.

THE NEWLY RELEASED EX
B. 1859ish | WC/MCAB | ANY HOUSE | RELEASED CONVICT | PB: OPEN

The Ex is a gay man that came from a family that lay on the less wealthy side of the middle class spectrum in comparison to Victory's upper class status. Having been friends since their early Hogwarts days, things turned romantic during their NEWT years. Their romance stayed intense and strong into their adult lives. They were deeply in love and one night they even had a sort of 'spiritual' wedding where they said vows to one another and considered each other to be a husband thereafter. Though of course only to themselves. They had plans of eventually getting a flat together and living out the rest of their days as "roommates".

This all imploded in early 1884 when they were caught together by one of Victory's brothers. The ex is reported and arrested, imprisoned for homosexuality, but Victory is spared from prison and sent to an asylum instead. The two were unable to contact one another and each of their letters to one another continued to be intercepted, even after Victorys release and subsequent disownment.

At the time of his being picked up, the Ex has finally been released from prison. What happens now?

OLD FLAME
b. PRE-SEPT 1869 | WCAB | LEFT AFTER OWLS | OWLS LEVEL OCCUPATION | OPEN PLAYBY

This ad is for a romantic interest for Clarissa. This boy was in the same year as Clarissa and horrid at all things Etiquette which is one of the required Hogwarts classes for all years. So, he asked her for help in their fifth year which she provided gladly despite this being one of the first times she had ever been spoken to by him.

This boy was generally brutish in nature but was swiftly attracted to Clarissa, quickly intent on wooing her despite knowing she is way beyond his social means. The fact that he had competition in the form of an upper class Slytherin in Clarissas year seemed to only encourage him and he felt that it was unfair he should be out of the running because of current lack of wealth. They eventually had an intense emotional affair of sorts and Clarissa even let him kiss her hand once. Scandalous!

All this transpired during their fifth year and he left after taking his OWLs. They likely have written one another since then and he has done his best to put in place building blocks for an upward mobile career of some sort.

OCT 2021 ADDITION: Her courtship with Emrys Selwyn was publicly declared in Witch Weekly in September 19, 1891 which could have reached his ears. Barely a month later, Mister Selwyn broke the courtship and ended up marrying another woman.

THE CRUSH

b. xxxx | ACAB | Open House | Open Occupation | Suggested PB: Dominic Sherwood but very open

This Friend is a friend of Philips that frequents his sweet shop and is very close friends with Philip. Philip has a crush on him and unbeknownst to him, perhaps this friend has a crush on Philip in return. Either way, Philips mother thinks that they are a thing and believes her son is gay (he's bi but still) since he has never shown much interest in holding a womans interest.

My personal ideal is for a reciprocated scenario. This can also be an existing character if you have one that fits!

The Applegates
— at this stage the family is only loosely defined, by design! I wanted to leave opportunities for other players to help shape and build the dynamic. That said, I will be selective about who joins in, both to keep the vision & vibe consistent as things develop and to prevent Ezra from having fifteen siblings and five hundred cousins xD

— the Applegates are a well-off MCPB family who were raised in the Cotswolds; adult members may still live at home/in that area or may live elsewhere. They are the victims of a blood curse.

— one non-negotiable aspect of the curse is that it's impossible to talk about it directly. If anyone tries, the person they're talking to will hear something else.
— because of that, Ezra and his family have never been able to compare notes about the curse - it's possible your character's experience of it doesn't track exactly with Ezra's. But everyone born an Applegate will experience the curse in some form.


— Already played are Ezra, Johanna Applegate and Byron Applegate. We've been referencing a sister named Cecilia who paints.



If you want the sparknotes on how the curse manifests for Ezra / what he believes about it:

Got an idea for an Applegate that doesn't fit into that box? Come find me, let's chat!
