ANOTHA ONE !! henlo !! jo here again !! meet PYROS DESDAMIAN HEO !!
so, pyros is a twenty-four year old duke from dracborough !!
the heos are an old dracborian family, fairly respectable, and they own one of the largest — if not the largest duchies in dracborough.
pyros was about eighteen / nineteen when he took up the title of duke. his father died a handful of years ago and pyros has been managing the land ever since. his mother is still alive, spending more of her time nowadays complaining about the lack of children running around the house. and his older sister, viola, was exported to bearoria and married their king
but, it was always the intention ( at least, in his mind ) that he was the heir presumptive and it wasn’t difficult to slid into his role. he was never really the type to skip his lessons — it’s not like he had friends to skip with — and the only thing that interested him was sports.
throughout his childhood, and up until now, really, pyros has always been wildly athletic. he’s been fencing and doing archery ever since he was a boy, he regularly participates in jousting competitions and back in dracborough, he owns a dozen horses. if you wanna talk sports he’s bad at, it’s apple bobbing.
honestly, pyros doesn’t really bother with people because he thinks knows he’s better than most. he’s young n rich n fit n successful.
the only dept. he isn’t winning in is romance but he doesn’t want to fuck with that right now because feelings r Fucking Disgusting and he feels completely fucked over by them sometimes / most times / all times.
he is literally the shadiest bitch u will ever meet… side eye and disrespect is his specialty. he is super privileged and seeing as he’s the duke of one of the largest pieces of land in dracborough rlly he’s just not changing any time soon
— alas, there lies ( ILLDI DAGNY ), the ( GOVERNESS ) of ( IRONHAVEN ). the ( TWENTY-FIVE ) year old is known for being ( DEDICATED ) but has the tendency to be ( TACITURN ). she is known as the ( CONSCIENTIOUS ) in court. they ( ARE NEUTRAL ) with the balance.
TW: violence, ptsd
me, sniks, writing a.... FEMALE ??? it’s more likely than u think, apparently !! here’s some basics on illdi, as well as a short lil bio !!
bio !
ILLDI DAGNY was born in IRONHAVEN and grew up around her parents’ weapons and armor stall in the market. both of her parents were blacksmiths, and did rather well for themselves in ironhaven due to the large demand of the military and those training to be in it.
her mother, SILAAN, was originally from NORDEN. her father, WAYLAS, was born and raised in ironhaven to a blacksmithing family. the two met when silaan’s parents’ trading caravan crashed when trying to navigate the rocky roads of ironhaven. silaan and waylas married within a month while her family raised enough money for new caravan, and she stayed behind with her husband when they returned to norden.
it was only a year later that silaan gave birth to their daughter, illdi. the two started a business together ( with waylas’ blacksmithing knowledge and silaan’s trading expertise ) and soon had their own stall in the market. illdi was raised SURROUNDED by weapons, armor, and those who bought it. because of this, she knows quite a lot about weaponry and armor, and how to make, repair, and sell them. silaan and waylas also made sure to educate their daughter in matters other than their trade, such as grammer, logic, rhetoric, and basic number skills.
when illdi was eleven, she began training for the military like all ironhaven children. she excelled at what she was told to do, though she was no FAVORITE among the trainers because of her tendency to tweak the weapons and armor to her liking.
she trained until she was sixteen, at which point a job opportunity pulled her from the training ranks. a friend of her mother’s had given birth out of wedlock, and needed help with her infant while she found work and struggled to make ends meet. illdi was ALL too glad to help, and the trainers were all too glad to let her go.
illdi quickly adapted to her new job, and found that she LOVED caring for the young baby. it gave her something to be proud of, and she adored nurturing for those who were unable to fend for themselves. the people around the market began to see her as a caretaker, and she began learning all she could about pregnancy, infants, and the skills surrounding those topics.
it was a full year before the mother was back on her feet, and illdi found herself anxious to find more jobs like the one she’d been given. but she worked with her parents instead, tending the stall and shining armor and weapons.
she was twenty-three when the WAR began and zenan moved across the sea. she wanted to help, so she joined the fight as a soldier. her parents came to the new world too, in order to sell weapons and armor to meet the new needs of all the kingdoms, along with countless other blacksmiths.
illdi saw her fair share of DEATH during the war, and even killed a few on the road to zenan’s hard-fought victory. she doesn’t like to speak of the war, since all she can see is the eyes of those she killed when she closes her eyes.
when everyone returned to zenan, illdi left the weapons and armor to her family, having held a sword for far too long. around this time is when illdi met ANYA CASSEL and the two became fast friends. when KING OCTAVIUS seized bearoria, the two fled ironhaven together, and illdi helped anya deliver her child, lucy, when the time came.
she then became the governess of anya’s daughter, and is still all too happy to nurture lucy while her mother worked as a nurse.
illdi has now accompanied anya to TESHAYRA, where she still serves as governess.
personality !
illdi is KIND, but not to a fault. she wants to help, and she will help anyone if she’s able, but she also knows where to draw the line before she’s taken advantage of.
she doesn’t take BULLSHIT very often. she’d much rather do her job ( and do it well ) than have to deal with someone bullshitting her.
while illdi knows her way around weapons and armor, she doesn’t want anything to do with it after the war. she has a strong distaste for violence, and mild PTSD when it comes to blood / injuries / gore.
she will protect lucy ( and anya ) with her life. illdi won’t hesitate to KILL someone who attempts to hurt them, though it wouldn’t be her first instinct.
she says very little unless prompted or curious ( hence she’s known as taciturn ). with that being said, she’s been know to hold STRONG opinions, and won’t hesitate to throw underhanded insults that go largely unnoticed ( she hopes ).

( aidan turner, he/him ) — high greetings to ( lord james landis ) of ( norden ). the ( twenty nine ) year old is known for being ( courageous ) but has the tendency to be ( reckless ). he is known as the ( vindictive ) in court. they ( are neutral ) with the balance. [ jake, 24, gmt, he/him.]
Guess who’s back...
It’s me jake, returned from the grave
This is my new boy James and here’s a little summary for you
Both of his parents died in a shipwreck when he was eighteen, leaving him to look after their estate and his younger sister by himself.
He can be a little serious at times when it comes to his responsibilities, because he had to learn how to shoulder a lot of them when he was young, but he’s pretty cheerful and easygoing most of the time.
The carefree nature is a bit of a facade because he’s hiding a lot of pain. His sister was murdered four years ago by her husband when she wanted to leave him and James pretty much went mad with grief.
He tracked down his sister’s killer and brutally tortured him in revenge for his sister’s death before he finally killed him.
With both his sister and her husband dead, James has been raising his nephew George, who was only an infant when he lost both parents and is now four years old. James doesn’t want to ever tell him how either of his parents died.
James and his little sister were really close, so he’s still grief-stricken years later and keeps mementos of her around the manor house. It’s pretty well-known what happened to her, especially in norden, but he doesn’t like to talk about it and keeps up the facade of being cheerful.
( Harry Lloyd, he/him ) — here ye, here ye, behold your royal highness ( Prince Cassius Montague ) of ( Norden ). the ( twenty-four ) year old is known for being ( shrewd ) but has the tendency to be ( self-indulgent ). he is known as the ( hedonist ) in court. they ( agree ) with the balance.
Being the heir to the throne of Norden, Cassius has a total superiority complex. He isn’t overtly arrogant, or cocky, but has a quiet confidence in himself.
As a child, he was a genius, and is still incredibly sharp-witted and intelligent. However, he’s incredibly lazy. He knows his mind is brilliant, and would rather not have to do any extra work when he can rely on his wits.
As well as being lazy, he’s undisciplined and unfocused. He does what he wants, when he wants it, and despises being told no.
Despite being quite laid back, he’s perceptive af. He;s very good at figuring people out very quickly and playing thenm at their own game if need be.
He’s not a great fan of the outdoors, and much prefers the comforts of home. Even in wolf form, he prefers to curl up and try to sleep as much as possible. Unfortunately, this leads to a lot of pent up aggression and frequent loss of control on his part.
jo here, live and in stereo. if u haven’t read purnelle’s intro yet, i am jo !! 17 y/o, lives in est, uses she/her !! meet CYGNUS ALEXANDER POLLUX WINNELL, his royal pain in the ass, prince of bearoria.
pollux winnell is the twenty-six year old prince from bearoria !!
he’s known for being childish and fun and extremely playful. i mean, he usually is, but he was dealt with a couple of blows in his life time. whenever troubles arise, he tries his best to act like everything’s ok because he’s always been the one making everyone feel better. lowkey he used to cry in his room every night bc of all this locked up turmoil
pollux, although i love him, is the biggest dumb dumb in all of zenan. if he were not a prince, he’d be fucked. if he were not pretty, he’d be even more fucked. all i can say is that it’s a good thing he’s not the heir because he’s just too childish to be king
like, pollux knows he will never be king n thats totally a-ok with him. he feels hes too unqualified for it. not smart enough, not old enough, not responsible enough. its a truth hes accepted
rlly the only crown pollux needs is the crown jewel of His Heart !!! aka his wife, sybil winnell nee beaumont. he loves her v much bc she helped him get over his ex-fiancee (she died of a horrible plague, awful sad, super tragic, boohoo)
and like all winnells, he has magic. its not as under control AT ALL ( so like, hes decent bordering on shitty ) n he uses the air element but like the most he does is strengthen the breeze 2 fuck up someones hair tbh
um but thats basically it ??? if this were a show, he’d be the pretty comic relief
— alas, there lies ( BRYNJOLF MALLORY ), the ( STABLEHAND ) of ( BEARORIA ). the ( THIRTY ) year old is known for being ( FUN-LOVING ) but has the tendency to be ( RECKLESS ). he is known as the ( VAGABOND ) in court. they ( ARE NEUTRAL ) with the balance.
a FOURTH character ?? and yes, u heard correctly --- that IS the sound of my hw dying in the background. BUT ANYWAYS, here’s bryn’s info !!
bio !
brynjolf was born a noble. his father, delvin mallory, was the most successful blacksmith in bearoria in his prime. his mother, laila madesi, broke gender boundaries and became the realm’s go-to horse caretaker and whisperer. he grew up on a large estate and began following in his mother’s footsteps when he was very young, all while taking smithing lessons from his father and learning from the best tutors. his favorite activities were running in the vast fields and playing with the ponies that his mother was training, and he developed a passion for horses that would last his whole life.
when bryn was fourteen, his mother was involved in a horrible horse accident when a wild horse she was hired to tame became violent - she didn’t make it out alive. at the news of laila’s demise, delvin became estranged. his smithy began to deteriorate, and bryn took over the business to keep them fed. but he couldn’t do the job like his father, and they lost their customers, which led to the closing of the smithy, and father and son were forced to sell their estate. as bryn’s father became more reliant on alcohol, his reputation disintegrated and they lost their noble status very quickly. they then moved to a small village, and bryn worked as both an assistant blacksmith and stable boy for a few families there to keep up their small home.
bryn’s father died when he was nineteen from overconsumption. without a father to back him, no one wanted to hire a boy to do a man’s job, so he became a full time apprentice at a small smithy in the village. it wasn’t long, however, until bryn got restless there; he knew he belonged outside, mainly with horses, and not sweating indoors over iron and steel. and so he left without a word, and began exploring all of zenan to the best of his ability and taking odd jobs along the way to keep himself fed. it became tiring after a number of years, but bryn gives full credit for who he is today to his years as a vagabond of sorts.
bryn went back to bearoria when his heart couldn’t take traveling any longer, despite his deep love for roaming the wilds with his horse, a gray appaloosa affectionately named acedia, whom he had purchased early in his travels (often, he fed her before he fed himself). now seen as a grown man with considerable talent at “horse whispering,” the palace of bearoria accepted his request to be a stable boy. he wasn’t lead groom, but he was happy to be grounded in one place again, especially surrounded by horses and working in his mother’s trade - and in his home kingdom, to boot.
he did not travel across the sea during the war, instead serving bearoria’s horses while the majority of the royal household stepped on the ships. this time, however, bryn was all too ready to travel to teshayra - he had started to get restless once again, his inner traveler itching to get out. bryn is now taking care of all the horses he can as zenan lives in tents.
i will most likely be adding some fun facts but fuck me, this shit is long enough already so i’m gonna shut tf up for now !! come hmu with plots bc he is quite literally a clean slate !!
( nick robinson, he ) — here ye, here ye, behold your royal highness ( prince jasper blackhart ) of ( ironhaven ). the ( twenty ) year old is known for being ( ebullient ) but has the tendency to be ( scatterbrained ). he is known as the ( facadical leader ) in court. they ( are neutral ) with the balance.
well hell y’all!!!! my name’s tzuara, i’m 17 (SLIGHTLY older than jolene) and i use they/them pronouns! this goober right here is my baby jasper!!! here’s some fun stuff about him!!
he’s been betrothed ever since he was born, to a duchess’s daughter from somewhere in the kingdom. him and ivy have been friends ever since he could remember.
hes the younger brother to magnus, and has lived his whole life knowing he was kind of inferior to him. he went through the military training as required by ironhaven royalty, but he was never as proficient at it as his elder sibling. he wasn’t the biggest fan of fighting (to the chagrin of his father), but hes much better at it now that he’s gone through years and years of training.
jasper is kind of a happy scatterbrained idiot, but he tries to be a good leader. he knows if anything happens to magnus, he’d have to take over as king. it’s not a super appealing thing to him, but he lives his day to day life with this always in the back of his mind.
people call him the facadical leader because he pretends to be leader material- leading stupid explorations outside the castle and helping fix problems, but he’s kind of, bad at it. he has a facade to the public that he’s all put together and proper bc of the military training but he’s actually a fucking idiot
he’s gay as hell- but kind of keeps it under wraps. he’s only had super secret flings with some stable-hands or lord’s sons here or there, but nothing serious. he longs for a true summer romance (the goober he is) but he know’s hes not really allowed that- being the prince and all that.
he was never extremely fond as his father- always finding him so dearly cold. jasper was unusually happy and bright for being ironhaven royalty, so he got into plenty of clashes with the old king about his behavior.
jasper has no idea his older brother poisoned their father- thinking the man died in his sleep like every other person on the continent.
uhh yeah that’s about it for where i’m at with him
henlo itta me, jario !! lemme introduce my third child, LADY PANDORA ELYSE KRON !! lemme just... warn u now. she’s a little... much. like, a lotta much. like what the Fuck was i thinking much. but any ways !! screech if ya wanna Plot
pandora comes from a very respectable ironhaven noble family, the krons. like, let’s not be mislead by her title as lady. both her parents, the duke and duchess kron of a significant land in ironhaven, are still alive n therefor, there is no title for her to inherit quite yet.
despite it not being the Biggest duchy in all of ironhaven, it’s a healthy piece of land. but, her family’s prowess stems more from their military background. her ancestors include a handful of captains of the royal guard, war heroes, and strategists that made their mark in zenan’s history.
growing up, it was pandora’s dream to follow in the footsteps made by those before her. she was born with a fire in her soul and a weariness in her bones that ached for a fight. unfortunately, pandy lived most of her life overshadowed by her twin.
the honest to goodness truth was that they were each other’s equals. but, despite both excelling in their training, and matching each other’s strength and intelligence, her brother was held as the higher standard. he was simply in the better position. he was the talented son of a decorated member of the guard who also happened to be someone of the nobility. last year, their parents sent him across the black sea to bring another meaningless honour to their name. what they got instead was a grave.
when the fleets came back and her brother did not, she felt his death like a gaping wound in her own chest. although he was the bane of her existence, she loved him dearly. when he died, she was left with rage, ice cold rage. she couldn’t help but feel that had her parents sent her in his place, or even had sent them together, he’d be alive.
when bearoria had been taken by ironhaven, she had ( secretly ) delighted in the war. although she had felt ironhaven’s loss, she finally saw a battlefield. she was born during peacetime. she had not been allowed to teshayra. her talents were simply rotting away on the training grounds. she could do her drills with her eyes closed. what good was the gilded sword when she was trapped in a cage ??
that’s why, when it had been announced that there’d be a second voyage to teshayra, she jumped at her chance. her parents were weary, however. they had lost a son the year before and they simply wanted their daughter to settle down, marry, and continue the krons’ legacy. what they had forgotten was that their daughter was ambitious and did what served her well. pandora opened the box on purpose. she is mean, and cruel, and vicious, and entirely self-serving.
she got on the boat without a second thought.
now, pandora is in teshayra, the land her brother died in, along with everyone else. she hates thinking about him, but she does love the newly awarded freedom. it’s a hate-love relationship she’s all in for.
