i believe that is CORRINE FREY, the PRINCESS of ARYNDALE. they are TWENTY-NINE years old and are known to be very OUTGOING & COGNIZANT, though they can also be very DESPERATE & PRETENTIOUS. they remind me of exotic loose tea in a priceless teacup and matching saucer, bitings one’s cheek hard enough to draw blood so as to not speak when spoken to, and the gentle, quieted gasps for air as a corset is tightened around a waist.
i’m BACK with another character ! if y’all haven’t read bryn’s intro , let my introduce myself - i’m ash , she / her and i’m 23 ! now that that’s out of the way , let’s get onto the real star of the show ... CORRINE ! she’s a princess fo aryndale and phew , she is a handful ... enjoy the intro , and hmu for plots !
biography !
from the time she was a little girl , corrine has embraced her lineage with open arms . she has always taken her role as princess overly very seriously . she pours all of her energy into whatever small duties are allotted to her , and puts them before anything else - even relationships .
growing up , even though her kingdom has struggled in the war , corrine was spoiled ( as most princesses are , right ? ) . she takes every chance to indulge in the finer things in her life , be it the best silks in the land or the most exotic of teas - and phew , she loves her tea !
even though she has always put her duties ( and sometimes the finer things ) before relationships , she has always understood the importance of family . she is very close with her siblings ( or tries to be ) and can be found putting in the effort to see all of them every day . her idea of getting on the good side of opposing kingdoms is buying gifts for the families , and she does the same after a fight with her own family .
the pressure to marry well is pushed back into the back of corrine’s mind , though she is well aware that marrying for love may not be in her future . she isn’t too torn up about it , as she believes that marrying for the good of aryndale should be the first priority .
her stance on the war is simple : protect aryndale lives , even at the cost of those from other kingdoms . though she keeps these views to herself , mostly , she is very passionate about keeping those from her home safe .
wanted connections !
ladies in waiting ! a group of young noble girls , probably from aryndale , that attend corrine . she would consider them good friends , though to see tension between them would be welcomed , too !
a betrothed ! i would love to see a character from somewhere other than aryndale be her betrothed , since corrine would hate being wed to an “outsider” .
hello everyone and welcome to my trash fire son sebastian (basti for short). he’s a chaotic evil but i love him and i hope you learn to love him too! below is a poorly pieced together intro but i swear im coherent most of the time! just not at 1 am big sigh.
diego boneta, 28, gondour, cismale. ––– i believe that is sebastian lorenzo, the nobleman of gondour. they are twenty eight years old and are known to be very charming & intelligent, though they can also be very vengeful & manipulative. they remind me of blood red wine, serpent-like smiles and marbled statues ( ange, 24, gmt +8 , she/her )
- basti grew up knowing he was of no great importance, and he was fine with that. importance came with responsibility, and he had neither the time nor the patience for such frivolities. he had his money, his family, his playthings and that was all that mattered.
- he was the bastard son a of a nobleman that didn’t hold too much of the crown’s favor and attention for it to be a scandal. while he was the eldest, he had no true claim to his house, and therefor his father’s title passed on to the second son. again, he didn’t mind. he adored his younger brother, got along well with his parents and continued to live a life of debauchery and flamboyance.
- everything was as it should be, up until the death of his parents. they were found dead in their beds, allegedly poisoned by fanatics from court. It would seem that his house wasn’t of so little importance after all... and now his brother was left to run it, still a green boy just shy of his thirteenth name day. in that moment, basti saw the insidious side of court politics, and the big players were eyeing his brother like a fresh piece of meat, easy to claim.
- with chaos reigning across the realm, basti knew he had no choice but to rise to the occasion in order to protect his brother and his family name. he volunteered to go with his brother (now head of his house) to grand castellum as part of his entourage under the guise of protection and company, but really, he was here to play. he had lived on the outskirts of court for too long, so much so that it managed to claw its way into his life and take. he was here to take it all back... and maybe gain some more in return.
HELLO HELLO HELLO i’m krys, i’m a mess, and this is my bbyangel lexia ! i’m so excited to join y’all and i love plotting so come drown me in them ! @imperialstarters
𝑫𝑼𝑪𝑯𝑬𝑺𝑺 𝑳𝑬𝑿𝑰𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑶𝑵𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑰 of genoa, formerly of iilyria, mother of one son.
the sky shone so brightly on the night of lexia’s birth that her father insisted that the little blonde bundle must’ve inherited her hair from the stars and her smile from the moon. a nobleman’s only daughter and final child, little sister to four brothers, the offspring of the only wife he ever truly loved.
the handmaidens always remarked that the babe was the least troublesome they’d ever had to attend to, a rare cry when she was hurt or upset, but she was almost never upset. what is there to be upset about when the world is practically at your feet ?
lexia’s father held a lot of respect in the high societies of illyria, specifically in bavaria, the dukedom they were the closest to. she grew up playing with the children of the other rich noblemen, making snow angels and little snow-people, if only because no one wanted to throw snowballs at little lex, whose laugh filled every hall she stepped into
her mother raised her to be the perfect little lady, teaching her to sew, play piano, read poetry, anything one could do in the house as iilyria wasn’t exactly the right setting for outdoor activities. her mother was also incredibly kind of heart, teaching lex that philanthropy was just as important as being a proper lady. the two of them often spent time knitting blankets for poorer families and donating food & old clothes to the less fortunate
her mother always implemented the importance of intelligence in her as well, teaching her to think critically and for herself. it worked well in her favor, as she could crack a clever joke or witty remark in big crowds. it’s also nice when people expect her to be less intelligent due to her beauty and she gets to surprise them
never able to resist her doe eyes, her brothers would allow her to accompany them when they trained with swords and the such. she took a liking to archery, getting a kick out of hitting the center of the target in practice but never taking it beyond the realm of their courtyard
at nineteen, after three years of rejecting offers of marriage, she gave in to the offer from the duke of genoa. it was a long way from home and her family but a new adventure for herself, an opportunity to spread her wings a bit, and so she was married at twenty & moved to gydina.
seven years later, she has a young boy of barely four years and a happy life in genoa. she tries to visit iilyria as often as possible but is typically happy to receive her family as visitors in her new manor. she’s still the kindhearted girl she’s always been, teaching that to her son as well, and still loves to crack jokes with others.
however, she inherited her mother’s rash mind, always doing things before thinking ( hence, the various small scars she has on her legs from playing as a child ) and it’s a trait that has followed her into adulthood. sometimes she simply doesn’t know when to shut up. beyond that, once she’s made up her mind, there’s no changing it. she’d rather be wrong and set in her wrongness than ever admit it. she doesn’t like to argue with people but once she’s in an argument, lex will do her best to win it.
danielle campbell, twenty-five, aryndale, cisfemale. ––– i believe that is odelina sommer, the lady in waiting of aryndale. they are twenty-five years old and are known to be very prudent & imaginative, though they can also be very quixotic & temperamental. they remind me of the deafening silence that comes with heartbreak, a final flicker within darkened flames, and a scent of sweetness that engulfs one in nostalgia. ( cin, 23, est, her/she )
odelina sommer was born an only child to her parents, loved by both and growing in the true presence of love from them. she enjoyed a brief connection and memory with what she called her family, before their unexplained deaths ( something that she tends to not speak about but i’ll explain more when i create a full bio )
having woken up to an unusual silence within her home, odelina in her young state had been the one to find her parents in a deathly slumber. she was a child, at the time, so of course she assumed they simply needed a slight pushing and maybe nudge here and there. but of course, it didn’t take much longer for the realization to seep in
odelina was only eleven years old when she was moved into the royal families palace within aryndale. her father was a close companion of the previous king, and when he’d heard of his death the king took odelina into their home. she was promised a better future than what she would’ve gained as an orphan, and though that future entailed being trained as a ‘lady in waiting’, odelina was forever grateful for the kind act
best at what she does, there’s never a dull moment when she’s in charge. priding herself and her work in the aryndale lifestyle. she’s never disappointed with her hosting of events for the royal family, her taste in decor for each member and down to her sense of style for the family. if it’s not perfect, it’s not her signature
most ladies in waiting are selected for a queen or princess ( excellent connection for anyone apart of the royal family! ), but when it comes to odelina she’s called upon by many for her impeccable work
odelina has a talent at getting what she wants, though usually seen as soft spoken and jovial, this little woman knows how to chew your head off and if the royals are unhappy with you-- believe me she will make your life a living hell till she gets what she wants ( which usually is simply what the royals want )
loyal to a fault, odelina is never one to speak ill of the royal family. she’s practically indebted to them for her current life and that only drives her loyalty more
she’s well spoken and someone who can weasel her way into anything. being a secure vault of secrets for the royal family, she’s also known for gaining insight into the lives of others discreetly. call her a well trained right-hand man or a modern day spy-- whatever it may be, just know she’s always taking mental notes out of every conversation she has with those around her and more
odelina is overall: a people pleaser. the people she aims to please is usually and mainly the royal family. she’s a playful sort, always found smiling but never really showcasing much of herself to others. her work is her life and odelina has never really made much room for her own self-growth-- to be fair she wasn’t given time to do so and that’s exactly why she’s viewed as a the best
i would love to figure out plots and connections with people. whether it be friendship, enemies, etc! considering she is a lady in waiting, odelina has travelled alongside the royal family so there’s plenty of room for connections outside of aryndale itself. i’m open to ideas or brainstorming!! also wow forgot, my name is cin and hi skjdhfksjh
your MAJESTY , the Queen of Porvo , Seraphim Mattis .
––– i believe that is seraphim mattis, the queen of porvo. they are thirty years old and are known to be very effulgent & magnanimous, though they can also be very pessimistic & sly. they remind me of the warmth and glow of a fire, a drawn smile accompanied by a suspicious gaze, and gentle kisses upon the cheek. ( cates, 20, est, she/her )
Hiya there folks! My name is Cates, I’m twenty years old and this is my first true roleplay I’ve joined in around a year; pardon me if my skills are a bit rusty. I really wish this was longer, I’ve loved seeing the development and backstories of everyone else’s character!
Basic Information:
Full Name: Seraphim Aela Mattis
Age: Thirty
Orientation: Pansexual
While I don’t have Seraphim’s background fully evolved, I do have a few little important notes to begin with:
Her name is Seraphim, inspired by Seraph, so essentially she’s an angel–– well, to an extent. Her virtue is how giving she is to her people, and how she often goes out to socialize with those of lower classes. It not only adds to the credibility of her rule (I hope I worded that right), but it also keeps the civilians happy and relatively calm.
Her biggest flaws are her personal insecurities and distrust of those around her. Growing up she was constantly warned of the danger of others, by her mother specifically. While they never faced any true danger, those thoughts have stuck with her to this day. Perhaps it’s only paranoia, but now it can be hard for Seraphim to escape those bothering thoughts of who is watching her, what do they want, and what are they capable of? Even with those she loves and holds dearest, she can’t help but wonder if they’re as loyal as they say.
While she doesn’t have any powers, she does hold firm beliefs in an elemental-based God. (Think of something like the Lord of Light, just involving fire, ice, earth and air.) When she’s not out shopping, speaking with her subjects or riding horses you’ll find her praying.
She was a noblewoman from the lands of Aryndale! However, thanks to the Mad King, she was whisked off to the lands of Porvo to marry a man she didn’t quite know. Her marriage to Alejandro was not one created out of love, but from her duties.
Seraphim is the second oldest of her family. She has one older brother who had it the worst of every child in her family, along with three younger siblings (a brother and two sisters). Seraphim was babied much more than the rest, however she quite enjoyed getting to care for the children growing up.
While she used to dream of going back to her homeland, she’s grown fond of Porvo. The acceptance and love of her people makes the distance from her family worth it.
As for WANTED CONNECTIONS,
I’m really looking for any sorts of connections. Since she came from another country, I’m figuring she could have connections with most! I’d love platonic friendships, perhaps a past lover? There’s so many others, we can come up with anything. Feel free to message me and we can fully hash things out!
i believe that is BRYNJOLF FIRTH, the KING of ANTEGRA. they are THIRTY-SEVEN years old and are known to be very COURAGEOUS & ADROIT, though they can also be very AUDACIOUS & UNREALISTIC. they remind me of soft linen shirts brushing against suntanned skin, a freshly oiled leather saddle landing on a prized horse’s back, and green eyes bright with the hope of a future that will never come to fruition.
hiya everyone ! it took me ( me , i’m ash , 23 & she / her ! ) a hot minute to get here , but here i am ! for the first part of the ~show~ , we have BRYNJOLF ! he’s the king of antegra , and well ... he’s too nice for his own good tbh HFJEHJK but read on for more info !
biography !
brynjolf ( or just “bryn” to his friends and family ) was raised to be king . the eldest son of his family , it was known since his birth what his destiny would be . he had no issue with it - he was quite proud of his future and his heritage , and wanted to find a way to blend the two together in his rule .
he was a happy , bubbly child , with hair like copper and a kindness that reached as far as he could manage . though his father tried to “ toughen ” him up in order to prepare him for his future role as king , bryn still clung to the niceties despite respecting his father’s teachings .
since he was a boy , bryn has loved his kingdom with his entire soul . he spent the majority of his youth outdoors , despite the weather , and grew fond of antegra’s rocky cliffs and vast , open spaces . he feels most free when on horseback , riding through his kingdom without a destination in mind .
when he became king , bryn had no chance to settle into his role . while still mourning his father , antegra’s new king was thrust into a war he did not want to fight . the kingdom’s isolationist policies were breaking apart at the seams , and bryn had no choice but to gather what little troops they had and engage in battle . but it wasn’t until porvo’s aid that he saw victory , and to this day he feels he has a personal debt to porvo and its king .
throughout the years , bryn has become only slightly battle hardened . most would believe a ind king would turn into something else during war , but instead bryn has only clung tighter to his beliefs . many say he’s foolish , unrealistic - and perhaps he is .
fun facts !
loves horses and horseback riding . can often be found at the stables of wherever he’s staying .
would do anything for his family and kingdom ! literally anything ! even though sometimes this conflicts with his core beliefs .
like the rest of antegra he is very traditionalist .
has never ever met a stranger . he strikes up a conversation with everyone and anyone , and attempts a friendship with most people he meets .
(eventually will have a bio page done for him but in the mean time have this very long intro post ! )
max irons, thirty-one, aryndale, male ––– i believe that is ALEXANDER julius FREY, the KING of ARYNDALE. they are THIRTY-ONE years old and are known to be very +PASSIONATE & +JUST, though they can also be very -DOGMATIC & -AMBITIOUS. he reminds me of a collection of hunting trophies; all predators, the sharp smell of early winter in the dawn air, the calm before a gruesome battle, a bear sigil, being brave even when you feel afraid, a heavy fur cloak, blood seeping into snow and earth. ( chai, 22, gmt-8, she/her )
inspired by: king arthur (merlin, camelot and other shows/books/movies), achilles (greek myth), prince andrei (war & peace)

𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴: marcus frey (called marcus the magnificent by the people) (predecessor, deceased), tbd frey
is a total extra brat?? and goes by xander bc he was named after his grandfather, (so technically he is king alexander II) and wanted to be more distinguished from him than just being “junior” or “the second”, so he opted to start going by xander in his early teens. basically wants to be mr. different™ and unique.
often referred to as “the bear king” or “the wild king” for his fiercesome reputation in battle and affinity/talented reputation for hunting
the second born son and child of the frey family, he was the first spare prince to be born in the family. the son directly after the heir, the beloved crown prince. xander was always bitter about this fact, and always secretly believed he would make a better king than his elder brother. his father had xander trained and educated alongside his older brother, training them both as his heirs though naming titus his official heir. the other princes weren’t trained or educated the same way, treated as regular princes. xander spent most of his childhood playing second fiddle to his older brother- it didn’t help either that they were so close in age (two years apart). xander was constantly treated as the replacement, the back up. his elder brother titus was loved by the people and the obvious favorite of their parents.
alexander is still secretly wracked with guilt over his brothers death, he spent years secretly wishing he could be the crown prince, wishing his older brother didn’t exist— so he feels partly to blame no matter how irrational that is. another reason for his guilt is that he wasn’t there with his father and brother during the invasion, unable to save them. he feels like if he had been there things might’ve been different. the day of the invasion he had been left behind at the castle, while his father and brother went to the border to check on a strange message from one of the generals stationed there.
has the most military achievements and prowess of all his siblings. before becoming the king he had had plans of becoming a general and pursing a military career. he excels the most in physical matters, athletics, combat, military strategies etc. his weaknesses lies in academics/diplomacy/politics (outside of strategy and philosophy). so a bit of a himbo lol.
becoming king has begun to change him, his ambitions have been growing as well as his sense of entitlement and arrogance. he’s also started to become increasingly promiscuous— when he was younger he was never a casanova (but not a prude in anyway either). but lately the longer he’s been king the more tempted he’s become to have his cake and eat it too. why not explore all the perks of being king?
due to his father and brother dying defending aryndale from the iilyrian attempted invasion years ago, the arynite king hates iilyria and has no plans for peace. he wants justice and revenge, and has secret goals of invading and conquering iilyria for himself.
he loves his county and people deeply, and would do anything for them. he hopes his reign will be a golden era for his people, he wants to expand aryndales power, make them richer and stronger. he also wants to improve education and social/economical issues within his country. desperately wants to do the best he can for his country— and wants to be remembered fondly by history.
met his wife isabel when they were kids, grew up together— she was even his first kiss. no one was surprised when he asked her to marry him at age 21, and no one was surprised when she said yes. it’s safe to say she is his first love, though in recent years the strain of being king, the war, and his recent subtle personality changes and infidelity have started to cause conflicts between them.
definitely can be a bit of a bully or shit starter at times, though my bb really does mean well at the end of the day— he just has a really bad way of showing it most of the time.
in regards to sexuality, for the most part he is straight— but he has some gay tendencies he doesn’t want to see or admit to. definitely closeted and/or confused. he has a strong preference for women and for the most part ignores the occasional rare homosexual attractions he feels.
loves his children dearly and wants more!! a lot more lol! having a lot of siblings of his own, he wants a large family for his own kids. he currently has two children by his wife isabel frey, the queen, a six year old son named elijah and a three year old daughter named gaia.
as for his mistress, genevieve, he met her within the last 9-12 months and was immediately taken by her. currently she isn’t his official royal mistress (yet), but everyone knows about their affair (unofficially, so everyone gossips behind closed doors about it at the moment).
in true leo fashion he’s kind of !! dramatic ? passionate ! and has a temper ! he also has a taste for luxury and extravagance, especially lately. also very flirtatious and cocky, flirts a lot without meaning it in recent years— increasingly so. enjoys teasing and getting a rise out of others as well! but also being king now, he is very careful about hiding his emotions, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses now. feigning an air of haughty indifference most of the time.
