HE is known to be + GALLANT & + DECISIVE, as well as - CAUTIOUS & - UNFORGIVING. little do they know that their ROMANTIC soulmate arrived from the future, and they happen to be @mvsquerades​ (STATISTICS)

OVERVIEW

robert comes from a very minor vassal’s family. he had made a name for being a notorious and respected captain in the king’s army during the hundred years war. in the battle of formigny in 1450, he was left to die, but survived through pagan practices and magic -- the religion of his father, john oldcastle who had become a friend to the king. though his recovery made the king and his generals happy, the king’s strict law of de heretico comburendo led to the execution of robert’s father while robert was out in france fighting the king’s war. robert’s immediate fury was understandable, and just before the battle of castillon in the 1453, there had been rumours of robert and his men siding with the french in revenge of what happened. to suppress any possible rebellions from his much needed army, the king gifted robert land and title and power. currently, robert is the 1st baron oldcastle of hereford; and he is still out for revenge.

BIOGRAPHY

robert is inspired and derived from sir john oldcastle, who was executed as a heretic during king henry v’s reign in 1417. in this verse, i made john oldcastle as a pagan follower and figure, with robert as his son out for revenge.

robert’s father, also named john oldcastle, used to be very good friend of the king and helped the king out in rallying an army for his war against the french and soliciting taxes from nobles. however, once the king got what he wanted, he executed robert’s father and branded him a heretic about 2 years ago. 

leading up to that, robert grew up in a very pagan and very conscientious family. they valued tradition and mainly kept to themselves. he had a good man of a father, and a loving & devout mother. siblings are still a little shifty because i might?? post a wc for one later on??

robert had an above-average childhood for a lord’s vassal’s son. he was afforded great travels with his father, and they invested a lot making sure that he was educated and learned latin and french. although, at first, he would rather just play-fight and run about with his friends; but soon enough, he fosters a sense of ambitious that refused to be quenched. it is then that he starts to invest himself more and more with his studies.

he had always known that he wanted to be in the military : to fight the good fight, to carry the banners of his land and bring home glory. what he did not know is how good he would be at it. robert rose very quickly through the military’s ranks, quickly becoming a favourite by generals due to his strategic and resourceful nature. the french may have had won victorious, but robert had a name of himself for being the last englishman standing. he was young, he was strong, and he was hungry.

a young knight’s chivalry did not go unnoticed. in fact, it was exactly what england needed after being constantly defeated by the french back in france. robert’s men were loyal to him, and he had to confidence of sir john talbot, whom he started to serve under up until 1449. by 1450, he was made captain and was given his own company of ruthless and fearless men. 

robert is best known for his fight in the battle of formigny in 1450. he had fought bravely and furiously up until the very last moment of the siege. he was badly injured and was nearly dead from the battle : he had a spearhead lanced thru his shoulder and cuts over his abdomen. the french wanted him dead, and they almost succeeded. 

robert does not remember much of what had happened. one minute he was laying down on the mud and blood near-death, then next he’s back in england, he was back home - safe and warm and alive. his father told him that he had been sleeping away his injuries for months, slowly recuperating. but robert did not believe it. it took him quite sometime to learn the truth but he did find out what happened: he had been brought back to life from almost certain death -- by means of magic. 

his family ae true pagans and believed in magic. robert had always been skeptical and adopted the catholic way, as mandated by the church and the king. however, after witnessing and benefiting from it, he soon accepted the religion secretly while stil pretending to be of catholic faith.

news of his recovery meant good things to the king, but the means of how he recovered from such mortal wounds rose suspicion. robert was immediately sent back to france -- to aquitaine-- to he relieve the captains and their men there. in the heat of the battle, something more terrible than death happened. robert’s father was publicly executed as a heretic back in england, and his mother died of heartache and sorrow. for the first time in his life, robert lost the will to fight. some records recall of robert dropping the sword from his hand the moment he heard of the news.

the king was wrong to do that. the service that the young captain had dedicated to his country and his men garnered incredible loyalty from his company. when he said ‘je ne vois plus aucune raison de me battre,’  his men heard him and his men agreed. rumours of breaking away from last of the english army quickly reached the king. and as he could not afford to lose anymore men and definitely not a great captain, the king bestowed upon robert land, title, and power. robert nearly died again in the defense for castillon ( he was there when john talbot died of the canon ); but in him lived a new desire: VENGENCE. 

the king may have thought that by naming robert with noble status, he would forgive him. the opposite happened. robert now held a title and power of his own, and with the men he led to battle still very much loyal to him, he knew that he’s in a much better position to avenge his father. robert would not forgive, robert will not forget.

currently, as baron of hereford, he acts as a marcher lord over the welsh-english border. he maybe new to being art of the high court, but he is learning the ropes quickly and have been trying to make power and important friends. he still practices paganism secretly, and have been actively looking for pagans to offer them protection.

HE is known to be + CREATIVE & +KIND, as well as -SHY & -IMPATIENT. little do they know that their ROMANTIC soulmate arrived from the future, and they happen to look like TOM HOLLAND.

born to a very christian family. his father and mother owned a small bakery just outside of london, and were very well off. he knew from a young age he preferred men. his family, somehow, was accepting of him but it wasn’t something they went yelling about

his mom educated her children after the bakery would close, from how to write, languages, geology and math. teddy didn’t enjoy the lessons as much as his siblings, other than writing, from short stories to poems. and art, when he worked at the bakery and saved enough money he bought his first oil set and fell in love. he often would sit and draw the scenery he saw around him and began dabbling in portraits. this was where he learned of paganism, from a client. he was 18, living on his own but still worked at the bakery and wrote and did commissions on the side to help support himself. he never had felt so free or himself until he visited the first meeting. and he never went back. 

he was able to quit the bakery and life full time off his art, from commissions and being somewhat of a historian for his group, he writes down their tales and does drawings of their people so it can be passed down generation after generation

danielle has always been a bright and charming girl, she was raised to be proud of herself and be kind to others. her parents were loving and respectable among the court, but secretly they were also pagans. they hid their belief in paganism and magic knowing that they would be judged and despised for it. 

danielle has always been a romantic, she’s been seeked out by many for marriage mainly for her beauty alone. but she never truly felt a connection with anyone who tried to win her heart. her mother always told her that magic would bring the person she loved to her. danielle never expected her prediction to be true.

( CARLA GUGINO, 48, FEMALE, LESBIAN ) EMELIE BERGESON was a TAX LAWYER from SUNDSVALL, SWEDEN. but now that they’ve found themselves in 1457, they’re a COLLECTOR OF DEBT. SHE is known to be UNDERSTANDING & OPEN MINDED, as well as CUNNING & PERSISTENT. they DON’T plan on sticking around. little do they know that their ROMANTIC soulmate exists in this era, and they happen to look like ELIZABETH HURLEY, LOGAN BROWNING, NICOLE KIDMAN, UTP.

aka hey hello, i’m new. well, my name is bunny, not new lol. i’m so funny, not. anygays, i hope y’all go easy on me cause i never really know what exactly to put down in intros so here goes nothing !

｡･*･ﾟ☆ &&. RANDOM LIFE FACTS IN SORTA SPECIFIC ORDER —

raised and loved by not the standard household, emelie grew up with not one father but two named oliver & erik and her mother cecilia who adored their daughter as much as each other. however for many in the city sundsvall it was hard to get used to the idea of the poly amorous couple, it was very normal for emelie and anyone who pestered her about it in her childhood and teenage years she told off with ease. 

art was emelie’s weakest strength in comprehensive school unlike math and science, the girl loved languages just as much as the pythagoras' theorem and skipped the 5th grade with ease. she excelled at all three national tests that were her best classes; swedish, math and english. emelie became known as the most intelligent student, representing the school at the age of 15 for a year until she graduated.

before she even started college, she knew she wanted to trade into her father erik’s footsteps and become a lawyer. and so she enrolled into upper secondary education and dove into the national science programme, in order to get as much credit for her college application as possible. those three years she focused on taking up finnish, norwegian, french, german & polish besides school in which she is all currently fluent in. unlike me, so don’t be too hard on me please.

at the age of 19 the pride and joy of the bergeson family got accepted into stockholm university, moved into a shared apartment with three other young girls who she shared a bright law foreseeing future with, the four became best friends for all the years college lasted. 

with her endeared juris doctor (j.d.) in hand, a weeping family in front of her and her then best friends by her side, the brunette had her future envisioned, all in order by the amount of letters from law firms that were eager to get their hands on her that had formed on the kitchen table at home before graduation season even came around.

her father had been her first thought, of course, to come work for; but the slightest idea of mixing work up with her personal life, especially familial, frightened emelie too and for the first time; the once young girl now turned into a young woman faced a fear and anxiety attacks she had never faced before. 

her life had almost been entirely written down, from the very start she went to preschool at the age of 3, to many years later, where she no longer had to study her ass off day in, day out. always around by her family, even when she moved to stockholm there wasn’t a weekend she visited them or the other way around. and the fact she had every opportunity in the world now to go work at any firm that wanted her, turned from dream into a nightmare. emelie’s fright of both working with her family or leaving them became a frightening thought too scary to voice, so much that instead of talking to her beloved parents, she shut them out.

her once best friends had already made their choices by the time emelie came to face her own sorted out dream and future job. they were out of the country and after meeting with a therapist for multiple sessions; the truth came out. her interest in france was bigger than ever, but her fear for losing her family like she lost her best friends was major. her anxiety attacks were diagnosed and discussed with her family.

long story short; it took her another three months to completely settle down in an apartment bordeaux, france, fully funded by lex-port, a law firm that focused on lots of areas including tax.

flashing many years forward; she’s been nearly everywhere in europe to visit clients for the corporate in person, has always put her job first over everything and only once thought of starting a relationship. but when it became clear she’d always put her job first, a relationship just wasn’t going to cut it for emelie. so her preference went from seeking love and romance to friends with benefits from time to time and one night stands with women only. 

basically emelie is truly living her best life and doesn’t long for anything else in her life, not that she’s aware of at least, the awards she’s received over the years are stuffing the shelves to a point the eldest of them have to face the bottom of a box in the attic soon. in fact, she was preparing her latest speech for the very last time in her earbuds on her early morning run for the award show in the afternoon; piecing the last things together that made sense in the woman’s mind. some jokes here and there she could even crack a smile for at the crack of dawn. so ready to move the people she would be in a big room with in less than eight hours, she visualized everything to the point of the champagne that was bubbling in her glass.

except  — none of that became reality. the moment she ran into parc rivière, the same route she took every morning, get a piece of quiet and breath of fresh air in the abandoned park this early, everything she expected to happen that day; vanished into thin air.

finding herself in 1457, england, we (she and i both) have got no clue what’s happening next, so stay tuned to the ic posts!

[sfcrza]

( DYLAN O’BRIEN, TWENTY-EIGHT, CISMALE, HETEROSEXUAL ) BARTOLOMEO SFORZA is a NOBLEMAN from ABRUZZO, ITALY. they are not a pagan, and they do not believe in magic. he is known to be + DEPENDABLE & + COMPASSIONATE, as well as - DOGMATIC & - IRASCIBLE. little do they know that their ROMANTIC soulmate arrived from the future, and they happen to look like LUCY HALE.

the sforza family have ruled milan for the past seven years. the title comes from bartolomeo’s mother’s side of the family but when his grandfather died without a male heir, the title went to bartolomeo’s father. 

bartolomeo was born in abruzzo as tensions were high between his maternal grandfather and his father due to a political divide. as the second-born son, bartolomeo (at the age of three) was sent to be raised by his grandfather in the hopes that it might reconcile the two. however, it was not till later in his grandfather’s life that this was achieved.

his grandfather was not the kindest of men yet showed affection for his grandson – especially as he did not have a son of his own. bartolomeo received the highest education possible and shadowed the duke, who was known for his great political mind. 

whilst bartolomeo was extremely loyal to the visconti line, he did not share the cruelty that his grandfather possessed. preferring to be merciful when possible, and charity to those in the city. this is mostly because of his god-fearing nature; raised a devout catholic.

he is very set in his opinion and can often be hot-headed over matters. some would call it passion, others would call it foolishness. either way, it did not help when his father inherited the dukedom – which many believed bartolomeo should have acquired. even still, the title is disputed as there has been no official investiture from the holy roman emperor. 

to avoid any confusion as to who is ruler of milan, bartolomeo was sent away by his father in the hope that the further away he was, the harder it would be for his father to be overthrown. rumours circulated over the years that bartolomeo’s father was preventing marriage proposals as a means to suppress his son’s legitimacy to inherit, and so bartolomeo has been sent to england to find an alliance through marriage. 

he has only been in england for the past year and is still adjusting to the differences in culture. it mostly falls to the fact that he does not immerse himself as much as possible. he much prefers to be quite a mystery, keeping much about himself to himself, without wanting to be seen as hostile by others.

( BESTE KÖKDEMIR, TWRNTY SIX, CISFEMALE, PANSEXUAL ) ARZU OSMAN-JAMES is a PRINCESS from the OTTOMAN EMPIRE. they ARE NOT a pagan, and they DO NOT believe in magic. SHE is known to be +GIVING & +RELIABLE, as well as -DRAMATIC & -LONELY. little do they know that they will play a major part in our soulmates’ lives.

MOTHER & FATHER: murad i + haseki sultan hurrem of poland

SPOUSE: the prince of wales

ISSUE : tbd

SIBLINGS : a lot most like

OTHER :  n/a

upbringing

she was born on a stormy night on 18 march to murad i + haseki sultan hurrem of poland. she was small but she was healthy and very cherished.

growing up she was, and is, very close to her mother. she’s always amazed by her beauty and grace on how she handles her brother’s condition and always tried to cheer her up with bringing her food or things she made for her. it was instilled by her mom that they can should only be as happy as their poorest peasant and she didn’t understand until she started sitting on her balconies at the palaces they would stay at and look out, studying what she could, and then she understood. she would send out her old dresses, shoes, gloves anything she thought might help her people. and when she wasn’t trying to save the people she could she was in the library with her many tutors, learning everything from art to math to languages. this is when she started to realize she was in a gilded cage, a servant to the crown, her people and her father.

he terrified her as he did others but she was able study him like she did with others around her, but she knew what to say and do to make him happy she that was what she did. with the apple of her father’s eye, many think she is a small and delicate flower as she acts like that within the eyes of the court, she bows and bends when asked, she speaks to everyone she should and has read every book put in front of her. but little does everyone know how much she loathes it and has them fooled. how much of a puppet she feels, she loves her family but wishes to speak of things that interested her the arts and philosophy and not politics. she doesn’t wish to marry a prince, she wishes to marry for love. and that is what she will get, even if its the last thing she does.

the love that changed her life

one day being inside a palace was too much for her. she somehow convinced her lady to loan her an outfit and out they went. it was a wonderful day for arzu, meeting people, shopping, experiencing life as if she were a commander. she learned more in one day that she had in a year of sessions with her tutors. it saddened her heart to have to go back. they were blocks from the palace when arzu got hit and ended up twisting her ankle. it added hours to the journey, but it added years onto her life. it was a commoner boy about her age. it was as if arzu had never lived before meeting him. it was near dusk when arzu came back to the palace. she hadn’t seen anyone and she knew they would ask in the morning. her father asked why she was limping and she rolled it off as a dancing injury on learning the new dances of europe.

and a whirlwind romance started, she wasn’t able to leave the palace again but her lady was able to get letters back and forth between them. but it only lasted about a month.

she had just gotten the courage to tell her father she would be marrying him but that was the day she was told they were going to england and never again did she see him.

england

england was terrifying to arzu, being in the “western” world, so much was different the culture was different than to her own. she converted from islam to the church of england

at first she didn’t try to get to know the prince, too heartbroken and one day she cracked and told her husband what had happened, and he only kissed her on the forehead and allowed their love to blossom and soon arzu fell badly and deeply in love with her husband and her new home forgetting about her first “love”

personality

arzu’s name translated is wish, hope + love. something she follows as she travels through life. she is a bit of a dreamer, wears her heart on her sleeve but can also be cunning went crossed, her anger flares but she can quickly, sometimes, control it and her tongue.

     ❛ if i go through the thick trees plucking berries or nuts , taking apples from branches or herding the cows , and if i stretch out beneath a tree for a while in repose . . . what does it matter                                                      to those it doesn’t concern ? ❜

( ooc . hello !! i am cookie ( or on discord i’m pickle , so do not be alarmed ! ) and i am VERY excited to join this rp ! feel free to like this if you’d like to plot something out or if you’d like to talk ! also disclaimer : this is a BIG wip . )

YOUNGER YEARS :

áine was born in a small town near belfast , ireland , on a wet summer night . her mother and father had married nearly twelve years prior , and both had been praying day in and day out for a healthy child . they had wanted a large family when they had married , but after years of trying they were desperate for even one child . her father had originally been from england from a somewhat wealthy family , but upon following his father to ireland he had fallen for her mother and spent all of the money he had been given on purchasing land to stay and win her over .

pleased to have been blessed with a child , her parents raised her as a christian , unwilling to appear unthankful to the LORD . she grew up helping her mother with household chores , and helping her father tend the sheep . she was a wild child , half feral some joked , but she was always obedient to her father . her favorite thing to do was to be outside , running and playing from sun rise to sun down . she loved to watch the sheep , and to spend time with her father . the beginning of her life was idyllic , and she had wished for nothing to change .

time moves on , however , and shortly after her eleventh birthday her mother fell ill . it started slow , with a few coughs a day that the woman often shrugged off . the coughing grew worse and her mother grew more and more ill . áine began to stay inside more often to help with her mother’s chores . within five years , her mother passed away and her father grew sullen and quiet .

CURRENTLY :

         → after her mother’s death , áine’s chores included taking care of the home , cooking , and occasionally helping her father with the animals . she hated this , as she longed to be outside with the animals rather than stuck inside , but she felt she had a duty to take care of her father . family is the most important thing to áine .

         → she knew that most likely her life was planned out for her from that point on . she thought her fate was to marry a boy from their town , take care of the house , have children , and take care of her father . she loathed this entirely , but again felt as though that the older her father got , the more she wanted him to know that she would be in a good standing when he would pass on . there was talk of her marrying a boy , cean , but nothing ever came of the talks .

          → about year prior to the events of the rp , a fierce storm hit her town and nearly demolished the barn . most of the sheep escaped , and while her father went out to inspect the damage he slipped and broke his leg . the leg was not set properly , so he became completely unable to care for the farm and has trouble walking long distances .

         → her father tried to contact his family for help , but the only people who offered to help were some distant cousins of his . they offered to let him and áine live and work on their farm so long as she worked for them . her father reluctantly sold his land and they moved to england .

BIOGRAPHY▸

Bella was born to Renee and Charlie Swan, though her parents divorced when she was young. Bella moved away with her mother, and she barely saw her father until she went to live with him at the age of seventeen, moving back to her childhood home of Forks, Washington. Being something of a loner, she had trouble making friends and fitting in at her new high school. Things were pretty boring, leading a normal life in the mundane, small town- until she met the Cullens. These were a “family” of vampires, doing their best to mask as normal human beings, though they definitely stood out. Edward Cullen, seemingly a regular seventeen year old high school student, took a liking to Bella, and the feeling was mutual. Things heated up pretty fast between them, despite Edward’s guilt at drawing her into his world, a place far too dangerous for a human to be. They fell in love, but when danger struck again and again, Edward eventually did what he felt he had to to protect Bella, and broke it off with her. Leaving with his entire family in the middle of the night as though they had never been there at all. Bella was devastated, the heartbreak being more than she could endure, and so when she was suddenly swalled up into the strange place called “Ocyn”, she was terrified- but at least it was a fresh start. Somewhere she could hopefully forget about the boy (vampire) she loved.
