Are there any 2p characters in this verse?

Yes, actually!2P!Germany and 2P!France both have significant roles, and 2P!America will make some appearances.The rest might be more background characters, if that makes sense?

We have one more post for the main cast (Austria, Hungary, and Spain), but I'm afraid I'm wicked sick right now guys;; Please feel free to send in requests or asks or whatever in the meanwhile, so I'll have something to get into once I'm feeling better and midterms are over. ♥️

Dramatis personae:

The Braginsky family consists of Yetkatrina, Natalia, and Ivan. Despite a warm and friendly exterior, Ivan is well-known by those close to him to be a ruthless man in both business and personal dealings with others. Yetkatrina is a socialite back home in Moscow, but she often frequents her beloved baby brother’s warehouses in Germany. Natalia is a nurse at a nearby hospital and has very little concept of bedside manner, but she is wickedly efficient and has saved many lives.

Something happened between Gilbert and Ivan in the past, but it’s all kept very hushed… Whatever it was, the doll is short an eye and terrified of him.

Dramatis Personae:

Feliciano and Lovino Vargas. They manage the local grocery shop in town. Despite being the ONLY grocery store that sells Italian ingredients and pastries, they always seem to be in threadbare clothes-- possibly due to putting most of their money towards Lovino's mechanical arm. Neither will say much on it, but rumors are the fact that they fled Italy and Lovino's missing arm are connected...

Dramatis personae:

Gilbert, Frederick’s clockwork automaton. More commonly referred to as a ‘doll’, simply for ease. Fond of small, cute creatures (at least, what he considers cute), his brother (also cute), and strange toys. He seems to have no idea of personal space and is self-proclaimed as “Fritz’s awesomest invention.”

Ludwig Beilschmidt, nephew to Frederick William Hohenzollern Jr. and Gilbert’s younger ‘adoptive’ brother. The sole heir of both Hohenzollern and Beilschmidt households, though there are some distant, noble cousins. His favorite foods include warm drinks and candied fruits.

Important Notice

This blog will essentially be starting at zero-- that is to say, I'm resetting everything back to how it was when I first started out roleplaying Gilbert.

While this does change his characterization somewhat, it also allows for, er, all of the characters and blogs that got killed off through long and complicated things that should not be discussed here to remain alive.

So basically:

The year is 1884.

Gilbert and Ludwig live together in the Workshop. Frederick has passed away. Ivan has broken Gilbert's eye but is still alive.

A majority of the European characters live in the nearby town (Potsdam, simply for convenience).

Other characters are scattered around with more information to come.

I'll get around to posting designs and things shortly, but as of right now the askbox is open (questions I can explain best by writing will be answered first, and drawing will start to filter in as the week goes on).

I know this means there's a large gap of history and happenings from Gilbert's RP blog, but I really want to go for something more happy and hopeful than the way things turned for him.

While this blog will primarily center around the German bros. and their interactions with others, feel free to ask anyone questions! Or to ask questions about anyone.

This will also contain various drabbles and other multimedia things as time goes on.
