hello friends!

I am in no way ready to open another RP, however I would like your input into what you would be most excited for, in the future? Most of these need tons of work and when I'm not thinking about LFR, I'd like to know where to focus my energy b/c ur girl gets overwhelmed with herself #whoops

I've managed to narrow my 23043409 ideas down to 10 and if you'd like to pick your favs by ranking them 1-10 [ here ] is the form. (If there's some you aren't feeling at all, you can skip them in the ranking :D)

GARBHAN STAFFORD / DAVID OAKES

♛ Age: 34 ♛ Relationships: Rian Stafford (brother), Eilionora Stafford, Aria Stafford, Siobhan Stafford (cousins), Guinevere Varmont, Aine Lorcan, Aisling Lorcan (flirtations), Eabha Calleary (interest), Finn Calleary, Fiona Calleary, Cormac Calleary (annoyances)

whatever potential garbhan has, is buried deep beneath his self-loathing, cynicism, and hedonism

he's never felt as though he's truly belonged anywhere

he was brought into this this world as the stafford "spare" -- but as long as rian was there, there was no need for him (his brother was groomed to be a ruler and garbhan was nothing more than a placeholder)

garbhan is charming, flirtatious, witty, chaotic, reckless, irresponsible

spends money like it burns him to hold onto it and lives like nothing matters

internally, however, he is deeply lonely, convinced he is unworthy of anything truly good

he has no love for the varmonts, and had convinced himself that life might be better for him once he and his brother returned home, but he has found no love, either, from any of his fellow astairans either

has harbored feelings for eabha calleary for years and even if she were to choose him, he would likely self sabotage the relationship, because he believes that he isn't worthy of it

his relationship with rian is complicated

he mocks, teases, and even resents him ... but he also knows that rian is the one person in the entire world who truly cares for him and, for that, garbhan would die for him

still, he does take pleasure in frustrating his brother -- which is why he's decided to flirt with both Guinevere and Aine (and although he's not as successful as he would like to be with either, he does a better job than his brother, which is enough for him!)

his relationship with aisling is both a distraction and an attempt to make eabha jealous

aisling sweet and kind and looks at him in a way no one ever has

still, he doesn't think she cares for him nearly as deeply as she does!!!

if he did, he would break it off because he a) believes that aisling deserves better and b) part of him knows that aisling could be the girl who could actually redeem him and that is a terrifying thought

Helena Phillips - Opera Singer/Actress - thirty-five - Jessica Brown-Findlay [Harlots] Reserved for Lizzy -Judgement (Upright: composure, decisiveness, homesickness, snap judgements, forgiveness | Reversed: self-doubt, gossipy, lack of self-awareness, unfair blame, false accusations ) Relationships: Quentin Clarke (interest/ex-paramour), Ernest Carter (flirtation), Lydia Price (ex-best friend), Cassandra Wright, Rose Hawthorne, Nicholas Gray (friends) *Some small part of Helena has never quite forgiven Ernest and Nicholas for getting into the fight that brought the trio to Festum Veritatas. *She had created quite the lucrative career for herself at the pleasure house that had employed the three of them and had, in no uncertain terms, told the boys that she could handle herself. *But of course, they could not help themselves from jumping to defend Helena’s honor and now they found themselves traipsing about all sorts of unsavory places. At least it was still a way for her to keep performing. *Helena had taken to Quentin Clarke as soon as she had signed her contract with Alastor White, after all, she could spot a lord in a crowd without batting an eye *Why he had been working at this circus of all places was beyond her ken, but it hardly mattered. Here was a ticket out of this life, into one of leisure and luxury. Of course, there had been the small problem of the lord’s wife, Lydia, but she had been easy enough to befriend, simple and sweet as she was. *Yet, Helena had not expected Quentin to drop her as well once their trysts had been discovered. (She had spent such a long time working on forging the letter telling Lydia to meet her husband before his show!) *So now she still is stuck performing for chump change under layers of grease paint for people who could not begin to appreciate her. But Helena has never been one to give up lightly. *She found a way out of the gutters once, she sure as hell can do it again.

Rose Hawthorne -Tightrope walker - twenty-six - Saorise Ronan [Little Women] Reserve for Lizzy -The Star (Upright: Hope, inspiration, renewal, serenity, healing, the past | Reversed: Hopelessness, despair, negativity, boredom, monotony) Relationships: Violet Hawthorne, Daisy Hawthorne (sisters), Morgan Durie, Helena Phillips (friend) *The past has always been fascinating to Rose Hawthorne. Ever since she was young, Rose loved to sit at her parents’ knee and hear stories of all that had passed to bring them to today. Hearing all the things that others had overcome gave her hope that all her own troubles could always be overcome. *So when she and her sisters visited Festum Veritatis, Rose could hardly believe all the stories that had woven themselves into the very fabric of each and every tent. *There were so many threads to follow, so many people to hear and learn from… Rose immediately knew she was home in a way she had never felt before. *Luckily her sisters felt much the same, which made it much easier for all of them to march into Francis Hill’s tent and demand to join up. It had been quite a laugh for the gentleman to grunt his agreement and shoo them away, but nevertheless, they had been quickly given quarters and talents to learn. *It had taken less training than Rose had expected to learn to walk the tightrope, and though she often became frustrated at the monotonous training required, the applause at the end of each show was more than enough in repayment. *Rose had become a part of a larger story, a memory and a part of Festum Veritatis’ ever woven past. Nothing could be more glorious.

Julian Baxter - Aerialist (silks) - twenty-eight - Timothee Chalamet [Little Women] Reserved for Lizzy - The Hanged Man (Upright: New perspectives, sacrifice, release, letting go | Reversed: Discontent, stagnation, indecision, detachment) Relationships: Alfred Baxter (cousin), Molly Baxter (flirtation/cousin-in-law), Daisy Hawthorne (interest), Henry Clemens (friend) *Julian was always the black sheep of the Baxter family. He simply loved to have a good time, to let go and live a little. It terrified and embarrassed his high-society family, but what did they care about when they had Alfie to fawn over? *Unfortunately, living a little often meant running into quite a lot of trouble, even once becoming a near thing to having a noose hung ‘round his neck. *Luckily for Julian, one Alastor White attended his hearing and requested that the strapping young man provide a service for his community instead of wasting all his potential. *This was good enough for Julian. He was looking forward to some adventure. It was all he had wanted in the first place, and learning to fly above the air and tangle himself in the silks proved a skill Julian never knew he had. *So when he had read in the papers of his shining bright cousin Alfie shacking up with a commoner and all but ruining his life and reputation in the process, well… it seemed an opportune moment to become the greater of the two. *It pleased him that Alfie and his pretty young bride came to the Circus of Truths, she was great fun to flirt with - she clearly fawned over his every word, poor soul. *Yet, of the newest additions to the troupe, Julian cannot help but find Daisy Hawthorne catching his eye over and over again with how brilliantly she shines.

Jack Ellis - Hypnotist/Mentalist - thirty-eight - Aaron Taylor-Johnson [Anna Karenina/Nosferatu] Reserved for Lizzy -The High Priest (Upright: Commitment, Ethical, Traditionalist, Sharing Knowledge, Provider | Reversed: Rule-Breaking, Flighty, Unconventional, Dismissive ) Relationships: Alastor White (mentor), Theodosia Moore (rival/interest), Leander Ward, Ernest Carter (friends) *As the son of a lord that had fallen into deep gambling debt, Jack had learned from a young age how to read people. At first he found the skill was most useful in being able to tell at a glance what mood his father was in whenever he came home. Whether it was best to quickly slink off to his own room and hope for everything to pass by morning or if it was better to take whatever was coming head on. *Eventually his father discovered Jack’s talents, which he quickly surmised meant the young lad was useful to have him at the whist table - catching his opponent’s tells and making sure they lost when the pot was largest.*After a particularly terrible game, in which even Jack’s abilities were failing him, Jack’s father, in desperation, wagered his own eighteen year old son. He barked that the boy was mostly useless as it was, better to pawn him in the game as an apprentice than keep feeding another mouth. *This is how Jack Ellis came under the tutelage of Alastor White and grew to be one of the greatest liars in the world. *He and Alastor travelled the world, performing at larger and larger stages as Jack used his keen intuition and sharp eye to tell people exactly what they wanted to hear. And when his senses failed him, well, there was always a plant or two in the audience to make sure the money kept pouring in. *After fifteen years of vaudeville and pleasure house stages, Alastor finally announced that he found them a permanent home, Festum Veritatis, the Circus of Truths. Jack would be one of the premiere acts of the show, pitted against a young woman named Theodosia Moore. *Alastor told him it was imperative that Jack use all of his wiles and devious skills in his arsenal to outperform and outshine Miss Moore, that their very livelihoods depended upon it. *Jack figured this mostly to be the ravings of yet one more man obsessed with collecting shillings hand over fist, and yet… *It did not help that Alastor had not informed him that Miss Moore would also be a most enchanting creature. This competition would be much more difficult than he thought.
