( implied abuse cw )
your house is an ancient one, a noble one. its history is written in the pages of abileina itself. it is a house of warriors and of advisors; of kingmakers and peace brokers and you are a credit to it. second born so you are never meant to inherit the titles but you set your eyes on something higher. you set your eyes on a kingdom and then on the entire world.
your father is a tyrant and your mother is little more than a ghost. your brother is not your companion as much as the child in you wants him to be. you learn cruelty from your father – you are taught its nuances and you witness the reckoning it brings. you learn soon enough that your father’s anger is dangerous but his silence is far more deadly. those are your first battle scars and you wear them with pride. you do not cower in front of anyone; not then and not now.
your father did not want sons; he wanted warriors and your first rival has always been your brother. you kill off the part that hopes for affection from him. you do it once and then you do it over and over again – as many times as hope flares up. love is a weakness is a lesson that has been well taught to you but there are times you forget yourself.
yours is a loveless house but you find it elsewhere. amar and indira are your constant companions for as far as memory stretches. you have always known that your place is by the side of the king and when you are appointed the hand, no one is surprised. war is something you play well at and you will not hesitate to burn this world to the ground if only to reshape it in your name.

some background !
twilight has always been a favorite time of day for helene, she was born in the twilight hour and it was something that stuck with them from a young age. it seemed as though everything important happened at twilight for them, it was like her witching hour. when she was strong and clear minded
they don’t remember a time before their training began training was valued more than lessons and helene was greatful for that
books and teachings never helene’s strong suit, but archery and an axe were and it was something helene clung to
in a sea of siblings and family they felt they were washed away not being the oldest or the baby but it was a blessing because they were able to do things when they wished and helene was often in the training room in the wee hours of the night, or whenever their mind could not still
it was in their later years, when even training felt like a chore, that they shifted from training to more “ girly ” things like clothing and well . . . men
but helene is not easily wooed and its been almost half a century of courting and short engagements. on the eve of their wedding cold feet got the better of them, and helene refused and its been rejection after rejection for the poor souls who try to get the princess' attention. they want perfection, they want something that makes them burn
in terms of family they are everything to helene, and would kill (maybe has) for any of them
*『 BENEDETTA GARGARI. CISFEMALE. SHE/HER. 』↷ here comes ALICE CULLEN. y’know, the 19 / 119 old VAMPIRE who is affiliated with the OLYMPIC COVEN. townsfolk say that she has a reputation of being overbearing but can be debonair. i’m sure we’ll be hearing from alice soon.
canon alice is my jam and therefore i won’t be diverting much from her background story. absolutely and utterly in love with jasper who is her entire world. she gives her life for her family and is always the peacemaker (eventhough she can get on the nerves of everyone with her judgement).
currently in college for gender studies. as the little snob that she is, she became the head of a sorority and living her best life for girls to support girls. she is very much in the feministic movement and strives for equal rights even when it wouldn’t change much for her position.
always busy organizing events and fundraisers, alice really tries to make a difference in the world. the feministic movement she is seeing in this day and age makes her thrive on it. at times she even forgets the duties of her own family.
but once she gets a bad feeling or a bad premonition, alice will be all momma bear mode and get things done to prevent the probable future from happening. afterall she cares for everyone in the end.

you grow up surrounded by love and little else. your first memory is of your sister; she falls and skins her knee on the rough stones that line your door; she starts to cry you do too even though there is not a scratch on you. your mother is always nearby with a fix and your father’s laugh can fill up any room. you do not have much and to others it might seem like a hard life but there is nothing you wouldn’t give up to go back.
your parents could see light in the darkest of hearts. they spoke of a better world, of a more equal world. they told stories of a rebellion that had no hope of survival, not when monsters still ruled the land. they are killed for their hope; your small house burned down and the light snuffed out. you and your sister watch from a distance, hand in hand, ash falling at your feet.
you are taken in by the underground rebellion that your parents had signed their life to. it is a family of sorts. you are taught to fight; to kill; to survive even when survival is impossible. you have always valued family above else but it is here you learn that the word can have a multitude of meanings. it is not the sort of love that your parents gave you but love still slips in through the cracks and it is enough to make you want to live another day.
and then there is an attack. almost everyone you know is killed and the others scatters. you and your sister survive as you always do; some would call it a miracle but you would call it a curse. you survive in whatever manner you can. you smuggle, you kill, you steal. you learn to bury every part of yourself in the name of survival. it is rage and hate that keeps you alive all these years.
you are betrayed by someone close to you, ending up in prison. the dark presses against you from each corner and you see the faces of your parents in that place; you see everyone else you have lost but you never see your sister. you consider it a blessing because only the dead dwell in this place. you are made to fight for others’ entertainment and for a chance to live. it is something you do well even if in some moments you forget you were human once; you forget the sun still shines outside these walls. when you are released, it is someone else that walks out but you know you will make it through. enduring is what you do best.

betrayer. someone betrayed him and he went to prison and it was a pretty awful time. i kept the location pretty open so it could be in any of the courts. this would be someone who he was very close to. i’m open to this being platonic or romantic!! i just want the angst!!
court connections. i really want him to have some connections with higher/lesser eternals. he absolutely hates eternals because he was raised by the underground rebellion and later they were killed and also bcos booo rich people. this could go all sorts of way. maybe he supplies them with drugs. maybe they hired him for some job! to steal something! to kill someone! maybe he stole something from them and they suspect him! want to make his life hell! maybe they met and he didn’t know they were eternals and they ended up hitting it off. im literally down for anything.
rebellion. him and his twin sister were taken in by the underground rebellion people after his parents are killed (who were also part of the rebellion) but that group was snuffed out as well. i imagine them to be like a family so would love to have more connections there! family meeting up after a long time makes me insane <3
others. friends! enemies! lovers etc! he doesn’t trust easily but i’d love for him to have some friends. maybe even old friends that he lost? turned on? fell apart with because of who he is as a person <3 he has also done a lot of shady stuff so he has a lot of enemies and that would be spicy too. always up for an enemies to lovers plot also <3 but also would love hookups or exes connection!

Mini Bio can be found here.
Wanted Relationships
Rival Academic - Anila is a scholar at heart known to hold a grudge. This is someone she had a disagreement with years-- likely even a century ago, that she still won’t let go. An antagonistic working relationship.
Witness to a Broken Heart - It has been about a hundred years since Anila’s mortal love, Dolza, passed away. This Eternal saw the love between them and either supports Anila’s choice to remain single and connected to Dolza-- or wants her to move on (note: connection must be 300+ years old).
A Mortal Heart Still Beats - Anila has a soft spot for mortals. This is someone she takes under her wing as a student despite them not being an Eternal (note: must be moral).
keiynan lonsdale. nonbinary. he/they. wasn’t that nikkal danica wandering the city of twilanna ? it’s nice to see the princess' personal guard out and about on such a fine day as this . i’ve heard from the court spies that they notoriously dimwitted , whilst also managing to be quite imperturbable. the one-hundred-fifty year old is most recently associated with house of the night , and holds the powers of nixen . it’s funny, whenever i think of them, i think of the rabble of a popular tavern, getting lost in the woods during a full moon, a collection of unopened love letters . great to see the gallant around, isn’t it ?
Wanted Relationships
Fling - Nikkal is very much a lover but never commits citing their duties to the crown as more important. This is someone they has a physical relationship with but not necessarily an emotional one (Nikkal is pan so this connection can be any gender).
Fellow Knight - Despite being a bit foolish Nikkal actually takes their job as knight pretty seriously and likes training with other knights. However they aren’t the sort to get caught up in the politics of kingdoms so this knight could be from any of the kingdoms of Iridian.
Other Nobles of the Night - Nikkal being a noble likely would know other nobles, though growing up people didn’t think much of them due to their lax and sometimes silly nature. This person might be proud of how far they’ve come or think they’re a danger to the crown.
