place : mysteries of osiris gala

As the night descended upon Rio de Janeiro, Nairo Singh, the Foreign Ambassador of Egypt, found himself standing amidst the grandeur of the Mysteries of Osiris Gala. The gala, inspired by ancient religious traditions and the celestial spectacle of a meteor shower, shimmered with an otherworldly allure. King Ramses and the Court of Egypt had spared no expense in hosting this illustrious event, marking it not only as a networking opportunity but a symbolic gesture to reignite Egypt's prominence on the world stage. Dressed impeccably in a tailored black tunic adorned with subtle Egyptian motifs, Nairo surveyed the ballroom adorned with hues of gold and azure, evoking the mysticism of ancient Egypt. The air was thick with anticipation and the chatter of diplomats and dignitaries, their presence lending an air of significance to the evening. Stepping gracefully through the crowd, Nairo exchanged nods and polite greetings with familiar faces and new acquaintances alike. His diplomatic demeanor was polished yet approachable, embodying the essence of Egypt's renewed engagement in international affairs. The Foreign Ambassador, found himself drawn to a figure of elegance amidst the crowd. With a courteous smile, he approached and extended a graceful hand in invitation. "Would you care for a drink?" Nairo asked, his tone warm and inviting, a subtle gesture to initiate a conversation away from the bustling dance floor.

/ ABOUT AYLIN/

Aylin was found swept up by the waves on the shore of Athens when she was an infant by the King and Queen who took her in and thinking they could not have any children, raised her as their own. They named her Aylin because of how bright the moon was the night that they found her, and thought that she was a gift from Aphrodite because of how she was found on the shore spared by the gentlest waves touching the sand.

She was raised in a household where she was loved, and when the King and Queen had her sister Zelenia she was thrilled, and continues to think of her sister as her closest friend and ally.

A lot of people in Athens don't think of her as a true princess because she wasn't born to the King and Queen, and she understands that while it hurts to not be thought of as a true part of the only family she's ever known, but she is fully aware that Zelenia should inherit the Athenian throne, and she's more than happy to simply be there for her sister when it comes to that.

A true romantic, she has never been in love and cannot wait for the day that she experiences it for herself - a love like the one she's seen in her parents relationship.

She was present at Lal Qila and was put in a position where she could have been killed, but a handsome stranger (Timur) stepped in and saved her life. He was there one second and gone the next disappearing into the chaos, but she still remembers his face like it's etched into her memory. Her family thinks that she is making it up and that it was a result of an injury from the events that occurred, but she is holding strong to the fact that the man does exist, and finds herself constantly thinking about him.

politics/loyalty: he was not raised to think as a leader, for a nation... so instead, his loyalty, politics, and decisions are most guided by his heart. he is loyal to his loved ones above all else.

inspirations: tba

DETAILS;

as a child, roland clung to his mother's leg and listened to her tales of dark fantasy with wide, dreaming eyes - taking to the moors before lessons, and never able to sit through a full reading. he would take to his journals, inspired by the folklore of the highlands, creating new tales from his own mind, and dabbling in a world of gruesome fantasy.

he was able to get away with such whimsy for a spell; the youngest of four, when was he to ever lead a kingdom? it was not by his parent's urging, but that of his peers, to finally grow up into a young man rather than a boy with his head in the clouds.

so he did; he grew, becoming a fine rider, a fine hunter, a fine dancer. a son that the stuart's were proud of, even if his habit of journaling fantastical thoughts && stories never quite left him. stolen afternoons up a tree could be kept secret, scribbling away in a world far from his own.

there was much to be said for the childhood he lived; he was not unlike his siblings in any way, each one as full of life as he, and he aspired to be like each one of them in different ways. always he felt close to their mother, her beautiful mind, and would trust anything she told him.

even if it involved the mythical. maybe she believed her stories more than she let on - she taught roland of special herbs, of ways to prepare them, secrets for curing illnesses and heartache. she taught him songs to recite when he was afraid, shapes to draw in the dirt for protection. he never told a soul. it was their secret, something for the two of them to have alone.

but now - she is gone, and he is king. it was never meant to go this way; he was never meant to find a seat of power, and he was not trained for this. his mother taught him love, and love oh, how it was a fearful concept now. love could tear apart everything his parents had built; it could be their downfall, but he cannot help it. if the siblings choose to make a vow against love, then he would honor it, for them.

for their safety, roland would do anything. he did not ask for this life, nor did he want it; but he rose to claim it. a promise was made to his mother, and he intends to keep it.... keep them together, roland, no matter what. in this world, all you have is your family. if they work together, everything will be fine. but can they work together?

since his mother's passing, with the sudden pressure of the duties of a king, roland has taken to sleepless nights and sleeping potions when desperate. dreams haunt him; he sees shadows in the corners of rooms; it feels he is watched from afar. his mother taught him to believe in spirits; and now, roland fears they dabbled too deeply in the mythical. perhaps he was being haunted - or hunted - by something int he beyond? perhaps the promises he gave when their hands were in the soil, meant more than he knew.

FAMILY: None MARITAL STATUS: Single POLITICAL AFFILIATION: Loyal to the Japanese royal family LANGUAGES: Japanese (native), Chinese (bilingual), Tagalog (fluent), English (passable), Spanish (passable). Fakes an accent when speaking anything other than Chinese.

THE LIE

Xinyuan speaks of his history with such solemnity, pride and honesty that he has won the hearts of many in the imperial court. The only child of a very patriotic landowner down in his luck who dreamed of seeing his only son earn a position in court, and spent most of his rapidly decreasing resources educating the child. He taught Xinyuan literature, languages, martial skills such as archery, and horsemanship. Yet his wayward son, blinded by his natural talents and the brazenness of his youth, rejected his father's teachings and efforts and left his home with dreams of becoming a renowned poet. Though he produced some works of decent quality, it wasn't long until word reached him that both his parents had fallen ill and died.

Ji Xinyuan believed this misfortune to be a divine punishment for his ungrateful, rebellious behavior, and turned all of his efforts back to the path that had been chosen for him. At the age of 19, he famously prostrated himself outside the imperial palace and begged for "a chance to atone for his sins and fulfill his late father's wish". His talents, strong sense of honor and social graces caught the attention of his superiors and recently earned him a privileged role as one of the bodyguards accompanying the imperial family.

THE TRUTH

Toshihisa was born to Chinese ambassadors and presumed dead in the fire that killed his parents. He cannot remember whether that was the name he was given at birth or not, and he can only speculate whether the event was or wasn't an accident, but he doesn't trouble himself with conjectures. For as long as he can remember, he has had a purpose, and unlike his false persona he accepted the role with great pride.

He received the best education and was raised in privilege. When the time came, he traveled to China, where he had his tale fabricated and his ascension orchestrated. He aims to become the imperial family's most trusted soldier and confidant... and hopes his blade skills will never be required.

THE STORY

After the Reckoning, and the exile of princess Kai-ming, his previous charge, he became the Emperor's bodyguard. He has earned Angelo's trust, when the truth is Xinyuan profoundly despises the man. During the current conflict, he sends word of China's moves to Japan through informants, while simultaneously assisting princess Giuliana in their goal to dethrone their brother.

Background

Leonor grew up in the lavish but disciplined environment of the Guzmán household. From a young age, she was groomed to understand the intricacies of nobility, power, and influence. The Guzmán name was enriched with a strong lineage, for hundreds of years they were among the highest nobility in all of Spain. That is not to say that they have all had the wit and courage to ensure that only the strong survived. For Leonor, she was brought up being told her family history in bedtime lullabies, like it was all sweet harmony. Her childhood was marked by the duality of her mother's warmth and her father's strategic sternness, which shaped her into a complex individual capable of both great kindness and ruthless pragmatism. Sometimes she wondered if all womanly sweetness had been spent on her sister’s, and she was left with nothing but bitterness and spite. Leonor was not inherently cruel, but she was exceptionally selfish. She did not do things for others without expecting something in return. In fact, unless it was her family, Leo had no interest in another’s welfare.

Spoiled and indulged, she wanted for nothing and refused to share. Leo knew that she was beautiful, knew that she had a mind for politics and pragmatism and most importantly, knew her worth. When her betrothal to Don Javier Ortega announced, he had pushed her against the stone wall and grunted that he looked forward to their wedding night. Javier had arisen in her mouth and she had an immediate rush of loathing for the brutish man.  Her greatest fear in life was a cage, an inescapable trap filled with ideas that she was a meek woman, just a broodmare to look docile and simper and the sight of her husband.

She waited five years, to wait for the right moment. After all that suffering, Leo felt inspired. It was a dark chapter in her life, filled with abuse and oppression. The experience hardened her resolve and deepened her fear of confinement and powerlessness. The murder of her husband, executed with meticulous planning and using the reckoning as a cover up, was a turning point, marking her transition from a victim to a calculating survivor. With no heirs or any male relatives, the Ortiz granted Leonor the sole title and lands of her formers husband and followed her father's footsteps.

Career

Ambassador to the Ortiz Family:

Leonor's role as an ambassador to the ruling Ortiz family of Spain is a testament to her diplomatic skills and political acumen. In this position, she navigates the treacherous waters of court politics, advocating for progressive policies while maintaining the delicate balance of power.

She is a fervent believer in being an agent of change, pushing for social reforms and economic justice. Leonor's father, Don Alejandro de Guzmán, was a loyalist to the Ortiz family. This allegiance influenced Leonor's career and ideals. While she publicly supports the Ortiz family's progressive reforms, she harbors a secret sympathy for the Bonaparte cause, admiring their revolutionary ideals and quest for a more egalitarian society. This covert alignment adds a layer of complexity to her character, making her a figure of intrigue and danger in the political landscape.

Leonor's career is marked by her ability to influence and manipulate key decisions, ensuring her family's continued prominence while subtly advancing her own progressive agenda. Her resourcefulness and charisma make her a formidable player in the game of power, but the constant threat of her dark secret being exposed keeps her on a perpetual edge, blending the roles of a reformist and a survivor in a world that is ever-watchful and unforgiving.

tw mention of emotional abuse, kidnapping , violence

your smile is so bright , you can barely see anything going around you until you see a crack through the light, the only shadow where you can rest in and as you sit down you finally realize you've been blind all the time . noemi's childhood is carefree or at least that is what she tried to make it out to be. now looking back at it , the glittery veil had been lifted and even the treasures and riches her father loved to brag about have lost their shine . she'd abided to many things, tried to pretend they were normal, that things she'd loved were considered to be only temporary that feelings were fleeting and wouldn't last anyway . love was a festering wound , spilling , a reminder ; sometimes forgotten or sometimes felt through pain and she wouldn't touch it. as she became older her father's greed also appeared to grow with her or perhaps it was only then that she was old enough to see it and the ways things didn't seem to add up . it was only when she'd stumbled into a hidden room within her home and met the tortured gaze of a stranger that she'd find out what her father did and had been hiding all those years . he was involved in illicit traits and other dubious activities. sometimes he'd even order kidnappings of important people or travellers such as royal legates or sometimes even nobility itself and use them as a threat. as soon as noe found out about it , she'd decided to turn her back on her family . she'd felt that she couldn't trust anyone anymore and she was afraid of finding out more things she didn't want to know about . however, despite her broken trust she knew that in some twisted ways she still wanted to love them because loving her family was the only form of love she'd ever known. that's why she couldn't completely turn their back on them and instead had made the choice of being a valet .

// her mother's side of the family are royalty from the house of liechtenstein . she'd often spend time travelling there and truth to be told she'd always felt she belonged there more than to germany. similarly, the house of oldenburg belongs to one of the most influential noble families and in contrast to her father's hidden suspicious antics is quite beloved by the public. // right now, noe is just feeling lost and is trying to figure out her own feelings but also her future . she's glad she'd found a way to keep a distance from her family, yet she knows that she somehow has to make a decision soon. that's why she's just trying to stay out of any drama . yet, as someone who is naturally curious she also can't help herself but trying to find out the latest gossip and snooping around. // noe is quite flirty by nature which is probably a result of her quite flippant treatment towards love ( platonically and romantically ). she tends to lead people on sometimes unknowingly and if she isn't she thinks people have the same view as her . the thought of being vulnerable towards anyone terrifies her and there are only a handful of people she's truly close to. // she loves writing and has probably dreamed of publishing . yet, she also feels like that someone who comes from a family like hers does not deserve to share the stories of humans, hence she keeps that hobby to herself most of the times . // she also adores animals , however she feels like she's quite bad at handling them. she has a horse called rosine ( translation : raisin ) who is quite mean towards her but she can't help but love . more tba

wanted connections

her siblings : at least one is definitely aware of what their family does. perhaps they're even involved in it and do not understand why noemi distanced herself from her family and tried to find a way immediately out. maybe they are even resentful since she just left with no proper explanation. everything is definitely utp. cousins : the oldenburg family has a lot of branches in other countries so noemi being cousin to someone could somehow work. former friends that might've been driven away by her family / threatened by them once real friends as noe is someone who is very social people she flirts with because does it a lot but with no meaning, additionally someone who thinks noemi has an interest in them and is now confused ( could also be an unrequited love ) love interest ( slow burn / maybe an enemies to lovers or childhood friends to lovers ? ) which would contain a lot of angst as noe would push them away as she's afraid that they might find out about her secret or they might get hurt by her fam ) people who might work or did some (shady ) business with her family people who might know about her family's secret and try to threaten/blackmail her with it

history.

born and raised on a small farm in the spanish countryside, león's life was quiet. it was not without struggle, money was sometimes short and the weather sometimes prevented the harvest from being as bountiful as expected, but overall the ramos family was happy. león began to shadow a physician in a nearby town. he'd always been an inquisitive person and after constantly following around the doctor, asking question after question, the man finally agreed to mentor him. he proved a quick study, which meant no one was surprised when rather than inherit the family farm, he went off to university to study medicine.

he thrived at school and despite receiving an offer to work at a hospital in spain's capital, he returned to his hometown afterwards and worked alongside his mentor. a quiet life was all he wanted. later, he would say he was drawn home for another reason for it wasn't long after his return that an illness swept through the countryside. there was nothing quiet about the long hours spent trying and sometimes failing to cure people. days blended together, sleep became foreign, but eventually the last patient recovered and no new ones fell sick with the illness. león's mother and his younger brother, however, did not survive.

he fully intended to stay in his hometown. after all, so little aid had been sent when the illness was at its height, and now his father and only surviving sibling were grieving, but his mentor insisted that he could not waste his skills, a god given gift the older man would declare, when others could benefit from his medical skills. despite his reluctance, he eventually agreed after gaining his father's blessing. by some miracle, the job he'd previously turned down was still available and so, león went to madrid.

he buried himself in work. his failure to save his mother and brother weighed heavily on him, fueling him to study more and work harder so in his battles against death he would be as mighty as he could be. and as the years passed, he became a renowned doctor, known not only for his skills and intellect but also his heart. those in need and capable of travel came to madrid to see him, knowing neither lack of status or coin would result in them being turned away, and for those too ill to travel, león would journey to them if he could.

his skills were what garnered the spanish crown's attention. the previous court physician was growing older and the time to find her successor had arrived. león had never imagined the position would be his nor aspired to it, content with serving the people, but the crown chose him. in the seven years since, he has dutifully served the royal family.

commitment to his new role didn't stop león from also serving the people. he maintained his office at the public hospital and saw patients there whenever he could. life fell into a comfortable rhythm until the reckoning. the last thing león ever expected was for two known rebels to show up at his door requesting his help. despite knowing what the crown would demand, he agreed to help them. he was a doctor above all else, sworn first to do no harm. after that, more rebels began seeking him out for help; none were turned away. león knew he was doing the right thing but that didn't stop the quiet worry of what would happen if the wrong people learn of the aid he has offered.

headcanons.

official court physician, unofficial court therapist/counselor. it's public knowledge that león's door is always open for whoever needs it - be it for a wound, sickness, or simply a listening ear. he is extremely discreet, never once having shared any information, medical or not, a patient has told him, which is what has helped build his reputation as someone people can confide in.

he owns a she-cat name baya. a patient gave her to him when baya was a kitten. she has a habit of following león around the palace when she's not napping in his office.

despite appearing like a gentle giant, león won't hesitate to defend those he cares about. he might despise violence and fighting but that doesn't mean he's incapable of it. a fact that everyone eventually learns if they're around him enough because as understanding and levelheaded as he often is, he will raise his voice if he has too - something that has happened a handful of times if he's mad at another physician or feels those working alongside him are being disrespected.

secretly a big romantic. however, he has prioritized his work and buried himself in it, which has prevented him from having any serious romantic relationships.

other than medical books, león loves reading and learning about astronomy. he keeps a telescope in his room so he can study the stars and other celestial objects.

while he is a man of science above all else, he is committed to his faith. he attends mass each week and if he has a particularly rough day, he will seek refuge at church.
