Hurling Season 1894
#1
last year's thread for reference. For folks who haven't done this before, this thread is to post stats on your characters - use this thread to browse/peruse, but take your actual plotting or thread-coordinating to other plot threads, DMs, Discord, etc.

Use this thread to post the folks you want to hurl this season - for marriage, affairs, or anything romance-adjacent. You specify what you're looking for. Choose from five options, in any combination:

Romance/Sentiment: you (or your character) want ~feelings, whether that comes with a ring or not.
Marriage: self explanatory, lol.
Sex: also self explanatory.
Ongoing Affair: relationships that contain either sex or feelings but without the marriage aspect.
Unrequited: If you're interested in your character getting hung up on someone who doesn't return their feelings and ~pining. Also can be used for mutual pining if you want to go the Jude/Kieran route.


There is also a section to specify YOUR HURLING STYLE PREFERENCE:
— CASUAL: You don't care about a particular endgame, or at least not on any particular timeframe. You want things to play out IC and are okay with just seeing where things go. [The LynnShip example: Zelda & Alfred Darrow who took years to meander through their tribulations towards marriage].

— PURPOSEFUL: You have some specific goals/milestones you'd prefer to hit, but not badly enough that you want to feel rushed or force anything. You still want to play most things out in threads, but are fine with also discussing some things that happen offscreen to keep things moving along. You might decide to prioritize a specific ship or set up rapid-fire dates. [The LynnShip example: Christabel & Victor Daphnel, whose interest was established in threads but whose courtship mostly occurred offscreen].

— TARGETED: You have a deadline and are willing to do whatever needs to be done offscreen to meet that deadline, while staying true to the characters. You're comfortable using NPCs to move things along or inventing plot points to suit your aims. You don't require old threads to be wrapped before progressing the plot. [The LynnShip example: Emrys Selwyn & Octavia Fawley, whose whole season-long relationship was more often referenced in other threads than actually posted about directly xD]

Emrys Selwyn
UCPB | UNHAPPILY MARRIED | BISEXUAL

Emrys is active in some ~shadier circles (sex, drugs, everything in between) but likes to keep his reputation clean, which means he is seen as a fairly private/reserved person in society. He is a patron of many varieties of art so can often be found at those kinds of events.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: nah idk, if he has any I don't know them off the top of my head

IC Ideal: Casual sex but with someone who is intellectually/emotionally interesting so it doesn't get boring too quickly
OOC Ideal: complications. maybe feelings. schemes. being in an ongoing affair with someone who has other relationships developing.

Hurling Grounds: Artsy events, general season things




Lou made this! <3

Ezra Applegate
MCPB | UNSPEAKABLE | UNATTACHED, WITH BAGGAGE

Ezra's baggage is a) he's got a blood curse and b) he's still in love with his ex-fiancee Rosalie Hunniford and whatever happens this season will be MESSY accordingly.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage (he's not looking, I'm not opposed!)
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL verging on TARGETED

IC Dealbreakers: ??

IC Ideal: just emotion-based distraction. Ezra wants to catch feelings he won't ever seriously act on and he doesn't even really care if they're returned.
OOC Ideal: things that would intrigue me:
  • it was meant to be no-strings-attached but we caught feelings
  • pregnancy scare means Ezra suddenly has to warn you about his curse
  • whatever happens with us spurs Ezra into doing something more with Rosalie
  • enemies to lovers, love/hate, fake dating, BASICALLY ANY TROPE HERE, I'M HERE FOR ALL OF IT
  • is Ezra straight? LET'S FIND OUT
  • something involving a Seer or Empath or something where they somehow see some of his shadows
  • I could continue, there are lots of things that would be excellent here, please throw me everything

Hurling Grounds: society things, ministry, whilst investigating Mysteries, etc



~~~ but I'm stuck trying not to come off crazy ~~~

Rosalie Hunniford
MCPB | P&P POISONING HEALER | UNATTACHED-ISH

Rosalie has no business being on the marriage mart at present. She's still in love with her ex and is more focused on her career than she ought to be.

Hurling for:
  • Romance
  • Marriage (of convenience)
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: Work as an unspeakable or be a friend of her ex fiance, Ezra Applegate

IC Ideal: someone "easy" to be around? Uncomplicated relationships
OOC Ideal: The more complicated the better. Tropes I'm interested in:
Grumpy/Sunshine
Patient/Healer + caught feelings (ala Izzie/Denny)
Fake Dating
Affair leads to accidental pregnancy
+ more, just poke me


Hurling Grounds: St. Mungo's, any event a respectable MCPB would be at, etc

Christabel Daphnel
UCHB | Widow | Mostly straight...I think

Ghost husband still around, ideally guy would be intellectual or radical - open to something less than appropriate - a Micheal Gregson esq situation with an asylum wife etc.
Also possibly open to her having another fail relationship with someone she thinks she is in love but is also a terrible choice for her.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: Casual - more about vibes for her right now as she is in no rush, but for the right plot could become purposeful

IC Dealbreakers: Nothing I can think of

IC Ideal: An intellectual equal, someone with similar radical ideals - idealist if nothing else or an artist.
OOC Ideal: a disaster - a bit like her. Either too idealistic, not realistic, broke, or some other drama that makes him a terrible idea. Hateships or revengeships are also great.

Hurling Grounds: She can be most places.

Merida Greyback
UCHB| Healer| Straight

A Romantic with a capital R. Not flirtatious but sunny and bubbly, wants desperately to fall in love and is seeking a 'handsome prince' in the almost literal sense of the word. Unlikely she could sucumb to an affair, but its never a solid no.

My Hurling Style Preference: Purposeful mostly.

IC Dealbreakers: None that I'm currently aware of.

Hurling Grounds: Pretty much anywhere

Evangeline Rowle
29 | Widow| Straight, Most Likely

Eva's never played by society's rules when she hasn't been forced to, and she's living her best Independent Woman life right now. But she's also lonely, and her ex just got married, and even if she hasn't been hung up on him in years, it might be the sign she needs that it's time to find some romance of her own again.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage (She's theoretically open to it, but Love Match or Bust)
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: UCPBs. If you run in the same circles as her natal or married families, she will not touch you with a 10-foot pole. XD UC okay, PB okay, but she won't consider anyone who's both.

IC Ideal: Socially/politically liberal types. Someone who takes her seriously.
OOC Ideal: [Image: drma.gif]
Evangeline is Steph's Character Most Likely to Marry Down, lbr.
"It was supposed to be just sex, but then we caught feelings."

Hurling Grounds: She can theoretically be anywhere.

Henry Berkwood
26 | Potioneer | Gay

An ADHD disaster, Harry believes strongly in personal responsibility. Which leads to things like him being an active part of his illegitimate niece's life and figuring he should probably get married since his older brother isn't likely to actually do his duty as heir.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: Romance - being married. Being a woman. Being intellectually challenged.
Marriage - Being someone who could develop actual romantic feelings for him.

IC Ideal: Boy just wants someone to challenge him. That's really all he wants. For marriage, he'd highly prefer someone he could be friends with.
OOC Ideal: Beard marriage is the name of the game here. But also, pining.

Hurling Grounds: He mostly hangs out around London, but can potentially be anywhere at events.

Wilhelmina Bain
UCPB | UNATTACHED | ON HER THIRD SEASON

Wilhelmina Mabel Bain is Looking to Marry this season, and it's not just because her parents are insisting upon it. She's tired of being a debutante and wants to skip right ahead to being a socialite at this point.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: No Muggles, no one who'll discourage her reading.

IC Ideal: Love, really. She knows it's a long shot, but she desperately wants to find a storybook romance — with the caveat of also getting to continue her reading.
OOC Ideal: I'd love to see Mina married, even if she's unhappy; as such, I am up for Getting Caught in a Compromising Position, or whatever might cause her to be forced into a match she does not find ideal.

Hurling Grounds: Society Events, Hogsmeade High Street

Daesyn Mackenzie
MCHB | CURSEBREAKER | HETEROFLEXIBLE

Daesyn could be considered a bit of a tomboy, what with her interest in swords, her cursebreaking job and her appreciation of a trouser, pockets girls!

Hurling for:

  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex

My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: Law enforcement, simply because her job can skirt the legal grey areas. Any man who seeks a housewife or otherwise stops her having her career.

IC Ideal: A man who can scrub up nice for the parents, but deep down he is just as rough around the edges as her. Someone she can have fun with and be herself. A happy marriage, she won't play the part if the miserable spouse who stays for appearance sake. She comes from an army family, so a physically strong and confident man is her "type".

She would sleep with a married man if discretion would be assured, or even the woman if the situation was right, but she wouldn't make a pattern of it. And once she is formally attached, she expects both parties to remain faithful to their marriage. This could include consentual physical openness provided the marriage is still respected.

OOC Ideal: I like characters to have a proper connection beyond a whirlwind romance and to know/understand each other's motives. This involves seemingly mundane threads where they learn or develop little snippets of their combined personalities. This might take a little longer but I enjoy that. I was torn between casual and purposeful but developing relations ooc off screen is helpful too.

Hurling Grounds: Lives mostly in London, spends a lot of time in her family home in Inverness but regularly frequents Hogsmeade to visit friends.

Bonus: Her parents recieved an anonymous letter in 1894 promising marriage to Daesyn sometime soon, this person's identity is not established in any way so a perfect entry for someone to swoop and try to take her.

Philomena Sprout
25 | #PlantNerd | Unattached

Ball of sunshine who can't keep a secret to save her life, and who rambles when she gets flustered or nervous. Oh and she has a stalker.

Hurling for:
  • Romance
  • Marriage

My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: raging racists & misogynists, someone not open to learning about her culture

IC Ideal: She's not actively looking rn but she just wants someone kind who will tolerate her talking about plants and working in the greenhouse xD

OOC Ideal: I see Grumpy/Sunshine for her if I'm aiming for a specific trope, but that's not a dealbreaker; mostly someone who wouldn't mind also incorporating this stalker of hers that I'm giving her >D

Hurling Grounds: London/London Society, Evergardens, but she can likely be anywhere

Avery Davenport
26 | Creature Healer | Unattached

A recent transplant from the States, Avery has a combative personality but a soft spot for children and animals. She used to work in a brothel, and has resorted to picking up her night time profession again to save money for her daughter; as an metamorphmagus this plan has usually not brought her much trouble. Henry Berkwood has offered to financially support her + Marigold as Marigold's uncle, but Avery is still working at night in case she needs a backup plan.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment maaayveee
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: Pregnancy xD she's not having another kid

IC Ideal: she's mostly looking for #Night clients or a few regulars to keep things interesting
OOC Ideal: intriguing ideas: — enemies to lovers — fake dating where she uses her meta abilities and someone catches feelings — I'm open to a lot of things for Avery xDD, just hit me up xD

Hurling Grounds: lives in Avalon Glen, has clients for Creature Healing around the country

Matilda Farris
MCHB | DEBUTANTE | FIRST SEASON SHENANIGANS

Her magizoologist father's only child and the apple of his eye, Mattie is confident she could get away with murder. (Overconfident, you could say.) He'd like to see her married off – if not to a Yarwood boy, then Well, and Respectably – but she's in no rush. She is looking for MAX FUN.

Hurling for:
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL only in that she is one of my season priorities, not that I have any urgent endgames!

IC Dealbreakers: Boringggggggg.

IC Ideal: Flirtations. Sexperiences. Friends-with-benefits. Sending love letters as a joke. Doing anything on a dare. Taking names and breaking hearts (getting men to have ~unrequited feelings for her and/or coming to call so she can turn them down and boast about it to her friends). Aggressively trying to win over any man who so much as looks at Iphigenia Adebayo out of jealousy probably.

OOC Ideal: ^ All of the above, but since she thinks she's super smart I am willing to get her in deeper than she can swim, ft. complications and possibilities of trouble. Also accidental feelings. Also also forcing her to interact with appropriate men her father has set her up with.

Also you could make her widower father and have him looking for a wife at the same time as ferrying his debutante daughter around? >D

Hurling Grounds: Any MC events. Irvingly. Avalon Glen. The Sanditon. Mattie will be doing a lot of "tagging along with friends & their chaperones" on social outings.



#15
Estelle Malfoy
UCPB | DESPERATE AF DEBUTANTE | LAST DITCH SEASON DRAMA

Estelle hates everyone and everything. No wonder she's not married. Anyway, she is Feeling The Pressure and also wants to beat her sisters to marriage (and Timoleon Maxime, before he can ruin her. He's horrible to her and thus exactly her type.)

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL/PURPOSEFUL.

IC Dealbreakers: Will accept nothing less than UCPB for marriage. (UC-whatever is fine for affairs.)

IC Ideal: UCPB & flawless. An advantageous marriage that will propel her to Prime Socialite territory. Lol.

OOC Ideal: She is good for enemies to lovers OR just a loveless marriage founded entirely on spite. #unhappymarriagesftw
If she takes a fancy to a likely candidate she is not above schemes/entrapment into marriage. She could be convinced into an affair with a married man if she feels ~wanted. She is also trying to give herself a full personality makeover to make herself seem more desirable.

Hurling Grounds: Season events, London, etc.

Eugene Scamander
MCPB | AH Dept. R&CMC | Divorced

He's not super interested, BUT I AM. I have a notion here, but it's obviously not the end all, be all. I'm approaching being on a time crunch fam. He's been burned twice and he's still a little bitter about it, but is trying to make the best of it.

Hurling for:
  • Romance
  • Marriage /maybe of convenience

My Hurling Style Preference: casual bordering on purposeful, but I love that IC chemistry

IC Dealbreakers: Unwilling to step into the step mom role, too young probably won't work, poor communication.

IC Ideal: Eugene's looking for a good connection, not exactly a love match, but the next best thing that could eventually be more? He needs someone willing to take him with all of his baggage and step in to fill the shoes of Theseus' absent mother. Somebody patient without a ton of baggage themselves.
OOC Ideal: A really good slow burn.

Hurling Grounds: Oh just about anywhere reasonably.
