ooc | Dezód & Renfry

omg I can’t!!! believe!!! we haven’t talked about these two?!?!?!? (Actually I can ... too many characters ... #odrproblems) 

BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT A CONVO BETWEEN THEM WOULD LOOK LIKE?!?!??!?!? I NEED THE THING!!!!!!!

So yeah, Renfry for sure wouldn’t be above making a deal with Dezód. He wants the Northern seat (or, at the very least, to have enough influence over the person who has it to basically rule the north in all but name) and he wants to get rid of his wife and find a better one and basically there are a lot of people that renfry would like dead, but he definitely doesn’t want to suffer any consequences from said murders .... which is where a sparkly disco lizard such as dezód comes in as super handy!!

ooc | Joffrey & Renfry

yooooo so I imagine when joff makes it up north that he will end up staying with rowlin & co.???? either way, i’m sure that he will often be invited up to the castle and see a lot of renfry!! (fun times, i know!!!) Anyway, I feel like Renfry would weirdly like Joff?? At least at the beginning b/c you know the first thing he’s gonna do is ask him about Margery Mortain and I’m sure joff would have a gREAT description for him and yeah renfry def delights in hearing (bad things) about margery b/c he finds it delightful! that she’s gonna marry his brother lol

That being said, I feel like their ~positive~ relationship wouldn’t last long b/c i’m sure it’ll take joff about .234 seconds to realize that he doesn’t like him and then it’ll all go downhill from there

OOC | Lena & Renfry

Obv these two are destined to be besties ;DDD  Jk, jk I feel like Lena loathes Renfry and is like no!!!!!!! at anything he’s like yes!!!!!! about and just…ppl like Renfry are def the kind of ppl you want in leadership positions!! ;DDD  That being said, idk how much they interact, save that Lena likes to visit her aunt, who is Renfry’s v lucky wife *literally every single person: internally screaming*

If not that, bc obv Renfry isn’t tight w his wife, maybe Renfry might potentially occasionally hang w her dad bc he’s rich and her dad might occasionally hang w him bc he’s powerful, basically????  

Anyway!!  Main point: Lena detests Renfry!!! and thinks he’s v bad and wrong!! and is probs way too outspoken about that for her own good!! #whoops

[renfrymoran]

ObVIOUSLY!!!!!!! 

So, wow!!!! Okay, yeah Renfry hates his wife and thinks its stupid that he had to marry her -- especially since he was gonna marry Sybil Grancourt and then he just kind of got stuck with Lavina when she ran away and uGH!!!!! So yeah, he hates her and honestly her family just for exISTING!!!! he ALSO really thinks the castillons are not woRHTY of him or hOuse moran!!! especially since they are just a wealthy fam and not a noble one, too. And so yeah, I feel like he makes that all sUPER clear. 

And I feel like he hates all of the castillon girls, but lena is 10000% his least favorite!!! she’s wayyyyy too outspoken and also wayyy too close w/ his niece who he is hoping to rule through once he gets rid of his pesky nephew and he does nOT need!!! people with a lot of ideas of their own to be having her question the ~sage advice of her uncle~ when the time comes. 

SO yeah I feel like they hATE each other and renfry also views lena as a possible threat so he def wants to remove her haha (preferably just by somehow breaking up her friendship with alia but he’s not above getting more drastic w/ it if he thinks he needs to)

🍕 which muse is a terrible cook

So many!!!!!! There’s a lot of them who haven’t ever even tried cooking at all???? And just kinda think food just appears for them??? Like Rowlin Stafford, Leck Quasar, Henrietta Allen, Ward Eastwood, Chase Hawthorne, Max Monroe, Renfry Moran, Cornelius Pembrooke, Lennox Stanford, and Harvey Wilder would all cook terrible meals (if they could be bothered to even try … which I don’t think any of them would be. Except maybe Ward when he’s trying to impress the ladies, but lbr he def thinks that having a five star chef cook a private meal for them is more impressive so …) 

I know that Roran DeGrey and Kara Larsson have both tried cooking and failed terribly (but they both keep trying ~*~thumbs up emoji~*~) 

And then there’s Greg Walker who is definitely super bad at cooking and knows it. So he just makes cereal and heats up frozen burritos to survive.

RENFRY MORAN / keith allen

♦ Age: (54) ♦ Relationships: Lucian Moran (brother), Lavina Moran (wife), Rowlin Stafford (nephew), Alia Stafford, Sybil Grancourt (nieces), Isac Tulles (henchman), Isabella Quincey (interest) ♦ Description: Renfry was once supposed to marry the beautiful and wealthy Sybil Grancourt, until she ran away to avoid having to avoid being his wife. After that, he had to settle for her widowed aunt to gain her inheritance. Unfortunately, Sybil’s father is still alive and until he dies, Renfry and his wife continue to live at the castle with his brother and nephew. Renfry has ambitions to one day rule the north, himself. He knows that to do this, he must get rid of his nephew, brother, and all of the other Staffords who might make a claim. Still, he is determined that one day, it will be his.  TAKEN BY LIZZY.

ooc | Renfry & Cassius

[cassiusmontagu]

Cassius literally never has any fun, ever.  “I don’t know what I expected,” ~Cassius brooding in the NOrth, probably

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yet another example of expectations vs reality in Aragoth tbqh  And I cry bc Cassius would probs just be like, “And whyyyy would I ever do that??????” in an au where Renfry straight out asked him bc like he’s like, “I literally got taken in by the oldest trick in the book and went in for it so hard I literally murdered every friend I ever had?  Why on earth should I ever rule a country??????”  It’s literally never even occurred to him to take the throne for himself - though I think he’s actually thought about killing Rowena on more than one occasion #awkwardromances  Tbh though that’s all been without any thought to the throne or who will rule next whatsoever.  Like, Cassius doesn’t even care about the throne????  Or who rules.  “It can’t get much worse soooooo”  But I think he learned the hard way why the Dragon Riders aren’t supposed to be leashed to the throne hahahahaha

But I feel like that whole conflict of priorities is actually true of Renfry and Cassius on basically every scenario.  Like, I feel like there is no level on which these two understand each other and mostly they just look at each other and ??????????  And Cassius thinks to himself, “Why is this guy still alive????” and just kind of sighs and he’s like, “Probs for the same reasons I’m still alive” ~*~in life the monsters win~*~

Also, Cassius def doesn’t respect Renfry, but his default reaction to everyone is a kind of cold cordiality laced with a menacing air???? #facepalm  (I’d say, “this is why you don’t have any friends, Cassius,” but we all know the real reason is bc he killed them all #murdererproblems)  So, as long as Renfry is civil, Cassius will be as well.  Also, any whiff of rumor that Renfry might be plotting against Rowena and Cassius would probs execute him on the spot without any warning #casualmurder  but tbqh he wouldn’t give a flying fuck that Renfry wants to off Rowlin?????  He’s like, “the north sucks and you guys are all dicks and tbh i doubt most anyone would even notice the difference except that one of you is old and one is young” basically?????

[renfrymoran]

HAHAHAHAH omg that au tho. Renfry would be like “I’M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS” (although tbh he’s already like that honestly) Renfry is just like internally sighing like “your power is wasted on you DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF I HAD A DRAGON?!?!!??!?!” I cry b/c i can see the first time he met Cassius where he was trying to feel out just where Cassius sits with his queen like at one point he was probably like “hmm if cassius becomes king and i help him, maybe i can get the north that way” but yeahhh obviously that’s not gonna happen (but lol @ an au where it did) and I think he realized almost immediately that Cassius isn’t as ... creative as he would have liked him to be and #majordisappoinment (I don’t think he came out and was lke “Hey, if you wanna murder the Queen and take her throne, I’m down” or anything, but probably just atlked about Rowena a lot to him to watch his reaction and in the end he’s like :/) 

I feel like Renfry would be civil to him, tbh, bc ~dragonrider and he wants to rule the north one day and he does want to keep on good terms with the queen and her rider tbh but he’s renfry so he def makes weird comments and probably half teases cassius about some things???? (like literally the sheriff calling guy out on never changing his clothes is too real tbh) and like i can just hear lucian #face palming in the background tbh 

but basically i think he’d be so disappointed in him and like UGH but in the end he’s gonna play nice even if he hates him basically 

[normandvipont]

OOC | Normand & Renfry

S/o to Renfry for having the same brilliant plan as Normand KILLING NEPHEWS ROCKS  No, but ultimately they both want Rowlin dead but Renfry’s plans to rule in the North would NOT jive with Normand, since he’d like to hold that position, himself hahahaha so I sense some upcoming conflict

[renfrymoran]

renfry agrees tbh like who needs nephews?? like ew?????? omgggg tho upcoming conflict between these two tho!!!! lol them fighting for the north wut even but tbh i am so here for that. <333 

anyway, so normand likes to travel around aragoth, yeah? so do you think he’s ever been up north before??? (spoiler alert: if he has renfy probs doesn’t like him. he’s like wtf is with this guy??? like what’s with all the travel??? like???? ???)

OOC | Roderick & Renfry

[roderickfray]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  GREAT MINDS  Isac tho HAHAHAHAHA omggggg

Alrighty, so given Isac slinking about and such, I’m sure Roderick has noticed this in the past, so he may have suspicions.  Tbh, he may not have cared tho for awhile.  However - and weirdly this may depend on Rowlin - the degree to which he reacts is a variable.

So, we had talked about how Rowlin might dangle Alia in front of Roderick, but then ultimately doesn’t want to be related to a bastard, yeah?  I can actually see this playing into things.  Ummm, depending how high Roderick’s hopes had gotten of that ~actually happening (like, what better way to prove to his father that he’s a worthwhile son, than by marrying Alia Stafford and becoming the heir to the Warden/this generation’s Moran bros, if not future Warden, himself?  So he’s actually hanging a lot on this idea).  But then, esp if it’s public humiliation style and at the last minute or whatever so he really got knocked down good and hard, I can see Roderick wanting to ~Archer voice~ rampage and I can see him basically following Isac till he hears something confirming and confronting him all “take me to your master” stylez (possibly in some degree of intoxication lbr) and like being all, “I’m in!  Let’s take this bitch down!”

Also, ngl, Roderick would looove knowing/feeling that he’s a valuable asset to the cause like “Heck yes!  See!  I matter!  Not bc of anything I contribute that someone else couldn’t granted…but we’re not gonna talk about that”  I mean, in an ideal world, Roderick would get to be Warden but tbh if he can be the runner up/someone more important than his dad and have the satisfaction of casting Rowlin down, he’s pr much in.

If it’s less of a blow, though, I think he might suspect, but Renfry might have to ~sweeten the deal a bit and sort of lure him into their cause, rather than Roderick stomping in and demanding a seat on the council bc “I can’t marry the sister he promised me?  I’ll pull him off his throne and sees how he likes me then” basically ??????

Either way, I feel like Roderick may not make the best ally, even atp, in this kind of thing (I’m honestly not sure whether he’d channel all his inner Karr and go for it with that intensity or if he’d just be completely stupid about it like there’s a 50/50 chance either way Roderick is basically just: ?!!???!?!?!!??!?!!!?!!!!!)  But anyway, he’s good at hitting things with his sword, notwithstanding, even if the focusing thing is a little more tricky, so there’s that ;DDDDD

[renfrymoran]

OKay, so I feel like Rowlin probably was like “you can marry her!” and then literally the next day was like “wait ... no” and I can see him being like “i will announce it tomorrow!” or something and then at the feast thing-y, he makes this speech thing and doesn’t say anything about roderick/alia until the end and is like “oh, and in regards to my fair sister ... roderick fray actually thought i’d give him her hand” or something idk, but basically bring it up and make a joke out of it and i can see everyone in the hall laughing (half just b/c they don’t want there to be crickets and rowlin decide to murder ALL.OF.THEM.) 

Also, I think that while Renfry’s brilliant plan was originally to murder ALL OF THE STAFFORDS and his bro to claim the seat for himself, he’s now got a new plan and that’s basically to just off Rowlin and his brother and then rule through Alia, so I can see him offering Roderick the North and being like “i don’t want to rule, i just don’t want my brother or my nephew doing it” or some lie and basically be like “i want my family’s castle and a ridiculous amount of gold and idk probs some woman but def NOt my wife” but you can have the north and alia if you want (but then he basically plans to kill roderick and then rule through alia. probably come up with some story how she’s unfit to rule b/c of grief due to the loss of her brother/uncle/husband or something) 

So I can actually see him going to Roderick, actually, like after this event like he literally sees the murder in Roderick eyes when he looks at Rowlin and he’s like “yassssssss”

Roses & Spiders | Renfry & Alia

A less extreme man would have considered Alia Stafford as a useful pawn long ago, but Renfry Moran wanted what he wanted and nothing less. Still, even he knew that winning the North for himself would take ages, if nothing was to be suspected. And in the meantime, if he could see Rowlin and his brother out of the way, Alia would be heir to the North and her husband would rule in her name. 

Of course, he would have to find a young man as easily manipulated as Alia herself should prove to be, but that was not something he worried over. The North was filled with idiots. And while he had no desire to be a puppet master behind the scenes, it would serve until he could make the North his own. 

In the meantime, he supposed he ought to start by being nice to the girl.

He groaned internally at the thought, but straightened and smiled when he saw her come down for dinner.  “Ah, there you are, my pretty little niece,” He said, “You’ve certainly grown up, haven’t you?” Renfry truly hadn’t noticed until he looked at her now. When he thought of her, he still imagined her to be a young girl of one and ten - if that - but it seemed she was more like twice that as she stood before him now. 

He had lived with her at Castle Stafford for years, but had never had any reason to give her a second look until this moment. She was a very quiet sort of girl and she tended to blend into the background, especially when surrounded by her rather loud family. 

“I don’t think I should have known you, if you did not look exactly as your mother used to.” He offered her his arm, “Will you allow me to lead you into the hall?”

[roderickfray]

OOC | Roderick & Renfry

So Roderick isn’t much good, but he’s still better than Valles?????  (I know, way to set the bar high ;DDDD)  Anyway, I feel like he’s def used to dealing with ppl who may or may not want to drown him in a well any given day, so I doubt Renfry scares him that much, but I think he’s still wary, bc I think he can probs sniff out ~unstable minds at least????  (Karr!powers ftw)  And lbr Renfry fits that bill (but then again so do 50% of ppl in Aragoth…) 

Still, I think he treats him like a superior bc Roderick is an idiot but he’s not stupid hahahah and I think he treats Rowlin’s entire family with ~respect to some degree.  I mean, he’s a snark machine too, I think, but he smiles charmingly and lbr is just as likely to annoy everyone to high hell, but this is the actual color of him trying.  Also, idk how open Renfry is about his ambitions, but if that’s the kind of thing Roderick may know, I’m sure he’d be interested, even if Renfry probs isn’t the ideal partner-in-crime…

[renfrymoran]

iMMA cry b/c I was actually gonna suggest they partner up??? I mean, idk that Renfry is really open about his ambitions either tbh, but he’s hanging out with Isac and like idk that it’s much of a stretch to ~think he’s up to something lbr. 

Also, I feel like Isac is a little bit of a fail and it would be easy for Roderick to overhear something and then idk maybe he goes back to Renfry?

Honestly, Renfry would love to have someone like Roderick in his corner, especially since he’s such a great fighter and Renfy has a looonnnggg list of ppl he needs dead. And in return, Renfry would basically give Roderick whatever he wanted as long as Renfry gets to be warden.

[sybilgrancourt]

ooc| Sybil & Renfry

[sybilgrancourt]

Oh man, Sybil was probs like the actual worst when he was around tbh, because she already didn’t want to marry any of the crusty old dudes her dad brought around, but like for reals Renfry was the worst of the bunch so obvi was the final choice, bc nothing went well for Sybil until she peaced out. Probably was horribly mean to Renfry and trying basically anything to get him to leave/break it off of his own volition, but, as you said, marrying her was too appealing so she had to run off to avoid marrying him. (plus, y’know, she’d been looking for an excuse.)

#gdisybil being the #gdiarthur of the North. xD Sybil ruining the plans for both Renfry and p much all of Grancourt. (as I’m thinking her family p much only had the title and the land left to their name?? So it was a nice pretty thing to wave in other people’s faces, but it’s a lot of smoke and mirrors? maybe? I’m still not solid on where all the houses stand tbh. but still meant that responsibility to keep the house going was partially on Sybil’s shoulders. and obvi she fucked off to be a pirate instead.)

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THESE TWO NEED TO MEET AGAIN, BECAUSE HILARITY. (also slightly invested in a flashback of Renfry and Countess!Sybil bc imagine the ~slow burning hatred.) I’m not sure exactly how plots are going still, (outside of #TeamBeaumont plots, which I know like the back of my hand bc aMAZING) but I could see that with the pirates being captured, Sybil being discovered? Like I’m sure people assume she’s dead by now, but I could also see something where she’s recognized by a guard or someone at the palace, and is sent packing back home? Bc I’m sure everyone’s like: “woAH. PIRATES CAPTURED THIS COUNTESS AND KEPT HER PRISONER FOR FIVE YEARS. HOW TERRIFIED AND SOILED SHE MUST BE, POOR THING. WE MUST SEND HER HOME…. and demand a reward i meaaaannn….”

[renfrymoran]

100000000% DOWN FOR ALL OF THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PUMPED I AM FOR SYBIL COMING BACK UP NORTH. Especially like that b/c she’s literally being dragged and leaving her other pirate friends to die horribly and she probs thinks they are all dead while she’s up here freezing with these northern assholes and lKJADLFJADSLKFJ Also the pirates all got reunited for one hot second and now they’ve split up again and Godfrey probs goes up north to rescue Sybil while James and Valery go try to get their ship back and aldkfjalkjfalkdjf alkjsdf 

I AM SO DOWN FOR A RENFRY/SYBIL FLASHBACK OMG. I SwEAR Renfry will be SUCH a charmer. 

But yeah that sounds good for Grancourt House things? Literally the only other Grancourt is Renfry’s new wife/Sybil’s aunt and no one is playing her so that’s really up to you?? (And hoenstly I CRY b/c Renfry probs thinks there’s more money coming his way than there actually is and he’ll be like I MARRIED THIS OLD LADY FOR NOTHING??!?!? All I get is this castle??) BUt OMG either way he’ll be pissed when Sybil shows up and her dad is trying ot marry her off to someone b/c then he won’t even get the Grancourt lands which would have passed to her aunt/his wife/aka him and Sybil ruins EVERYTHING and she probs goes on his hit list (which is getting longer than the Beaumont’s like whoa) 

Also, not even kidding it might even be Dmitrei who realizes who she is,  b/c he’s def been up north before and makes it his business to know all the movers and shakers everywhere. Also he never forgets a face and any extra cash he can get for #teambeaumont is always helpful b/c while they are pretty flush funding a war is expensive. Also Dmitrei goes down to the prisons a lot b/c fun convos with James ALSO imagine Dmitrei and Sybil like what even.

OOC | Dom & Renfry

The true bromance here tho

[renfrymoran]

oH ABSOLUTELY. OMFG tho if Renfry ever needed ~construction work done idk maybe Isabella set a fire in his chambers after he invited her back there (not even sure if I’m kidding) and idk basically Dom is hanging about you know that they would be bffs for life. 

Either way (even if he just did some work around the castle) Renfry is horrible and likes to treat servants/peasants like shit so fun times ahead! Renfy is a joy <3
