Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.
Complete five threads of five posts or more where your character experiences bad luck, such as stepping in a chamberpot, losing the rings for a wedding, etc...
Did You Know?
One of the cheapest homeless shelters in Victorian London charged four pennies to sleep in a coffin. Which was... still better than sleeping upright against a rope? — Jordan / Lynn
If he was being completely honest, the situation didn't look good, but Sylvano was not in the habit of being completely honest about anything. No reason to start now.

FAMILY: Max has 1 older (married) sister, 2 younger brothers, and 1 younger sister; all are available for claiming! I have playbys in mind for two of them. Their mother, Lucille, might be a bit of a stretch, as she is a muggle, but their father certainly had a sister or two to help the younger sister in the magical season!
FORMER SCHOOLMATES: He graduated in the same year as Zelda Darrow, Noble Greengrass, Henry Berkwood, and a few other active characters, I think; of course, he would know those who graduated before and after him, to some extent.
FRIENDS: We've covered his schoolmates, so we just need his feminist buddies! Max isn't particularly classist, either, and as such is generally willing to talk to just about anyone. I don't really have much planned for him other than feminism and finding a wife, but I'm willing to workshop!
WIFE-HUNTING: Max is a feminist, but he's also a realist — he knows he needs to "secure the legacy," and knows his mother would much prefer if he did that with a proper young lady. That said, his standards aren't as high as his mother's! UC/MCAB 18-24 female-presenting characters are welcome to apply! He's open to WC ladies as well, but his mother would frown from NPC-land.
Charlotte Paxton, he would know from feminist circles. Possible hurling but she has made a personal vow to not marry until men and women have truly equal voting rights.

Both Darling and Charlotte could be hurling candidates, though he would have better connections to Charlotte, considering his recent social calendar. He would respect Charlotte's decision not to marry yet (if ever), though.
