Hi everyone,
I’m so sorry but I’m gonna have to put this RP back on hiatus. We are having someone retire at work right before summer vacations and several big shows and events and my work is gonna involve a lot of extra hours and I’m also trying to move and at the same time 😬 🙃
I’m hoping I’ll be back by sometime in July, but I’ll keep you posted!! 🤞🏻

Potential New Characters P2
I do have several more characters in the works, and I wanted to just keep a running list of the portrayals I'm considering using just in case anyone wants to change anyone's current face-claim that these are ones for characters in the works/reserved :D
Potential New Characters:
I'm toying with the idea that maybe some of Marian's family will make an appearance in the next tier or two and I was wondering if @forgottenmarian had another other headcannons beyond the following?? (I added in one more sister / her mother as potentials, too/filled in the ages but all of that can definitely be changed!)
Finally named everyone! Reblogging for reference! (Also the portrayals are up for debate)
Aurelian (Charles Dance) & Leora (Dianna Rigg?) Solemont and their 10 children:
Marian Varmont (46) Rebecca Ferguson
Severin Solemont (45) Michael Fassbender
Ulric Solemont (42) Clive Standen
Albrecht Solemont (38) James Norton
Emeric Solemont (37) Tom Hiddleston
Helena Solemont (37) Claire Foy
Lucian Solemont (35) Michael Huisman
Anselm Solemont (33) Ben Barnes
Roland Solemont (32) Paul Mescal
Adelaide Solemont (30) Holiday Grainger
I've been thinking about what other grandchildren @forgottenaurelian may have/the martial situation of his other kids and unless you guys have any thoughts this sorta came to me in a fever dream last night
Severin Solemont - was in a loveless marriage to some rich and wealthy noble OVN noblewoman since he was like 17 or something. Severin never fathered any children by her and it has recently come out that Severin had had an affair with one of his servants and (much to his father's horror) he recently legitimized the daughter he had with her after her death. Her name is Anwen and she is 24 years old and is definitely more at home in the kitchens than above stairs, but is trying to please her father, step-mother, and new extended family, but she finds herself feeling out of place.
Ulric Solemont - has been married for nearly as long as his older brother but with much more success. He and his wife had five children: Seraphina, 26 (responsible, composed, protective); Aurelius, 25 (charismatic, confident, disciplined); Elara, 24 (thoughtful, perceptive, empathetic); Lucasta, 22 (clever, mischievous, sarcastic); Caspian, 21 (sensitive, curious, imaginative)
Helena Solemont - desperately wants to become the OVN equivalent of a nun, but her father is determined to stop that eventuality and use her as a chessboard. She secretly sabotaged the last engagement her father made for her.
Emeric Solemont - was engaged once, but his fiancé died
(Unsure how many of these kids/grandkids will eventually be playable, but I wanted to iron out the rest of the family tree)

Odile Fell
Aleksander Royce
ODILE VARMONT FELL / MORFYYD CLARK
♛ Age: 32 ♛ Relationships: Alistair Gray (father), Roderick Varmont (supposed uncle), Bartholomew Varmont (supposed great uncle), Guinevere Varmont, Arthur Varmont, Sebastian Varmont, Edmund Varmont, Cassandra Varmont, Eoin Varmont, Ciara Varmont (supposed cousins), Aleksander Royce (previous collaborator/interest), Garbhan Stafford, Rian Stafford, Cassimir Malconaire, Sonya Malconaire (targets)
odile was raised on stories, rather than truths
her mother, alas fell, filled her childhood with grand myths that left her daughter unsure where fantasy ended and reality began
though taught to believe she was the daughter of prince euric varmont and thus possessed of royal claim, odile is, in fact, the child of alistair gray
the one constant of her childhood was her mother's phoenix-crested locket that bore both the sign of house varmont and house fell which, to odile, became proof that something in her mother's stories must have been true
at the age of five, alys sold odile to a workhouse for a handful of coins
the betrayal fractured odile's sense of love and loyalty forever, teaching her early that survival mattered more than sentiment
in the workhouse, odile was mocked mercilessly for her tales of royalty and destiny
in her late teens, odile escaped the workhouse and became determined to claim a life that fit the grandeur she had once been promised
she fell into a loose collection of pickpockets, grifters and performers
with them, she became especially skilled at the art of disguise which allows her to slip between identities with ease
her favorite persona is a charming, well-dressed man she refers to as her "brother", a figure who can move more freely through spaces denied to women
as her brother, she is confident, flirtatious, disarming, and capable of talking her way into anything
her past resurfaced when a merchant's daughter recognized the crest on her locket
she presented herself to house fell, demanding both recognition and answers
house fell, sensing opportunity, sends odile to astaira as an asset, to be shaped into whatever version best restores their influence ...

COUNT AURELIAN SOLEMONT / CHARLES DANCE
♛ Age: 69 ♛ Relationships: Leora Solemont (wife), Marian Varmont, Helena Solemont, Adelaide Solemont (daughters), Severin Solemont, Ulric Solemont, Albrecht Solemont, Emeric Solemont, Lucian Solemont, Anselm Solemont, Roland Solemont (sons), Roderick Varmont (son-in-law), Arthur Varmont, Sebastian Varmont, Cassandra Varmont (grandchildren), Eilia Stafford, Edmund Varmont, Amira Varmont, Godfrey Calainon, Tristan Calainon (enemies)
the solemonts are an ancient, once kingly house, and aurelian solemont will not rest until that right has been restored to them
he has quietly fused both religion and politics, presenting house solemont as favored and inevitable
marian's own visions o arthur as blessed by the sun is no coincidence, he believes, it is prophecy
aurelian is a master strategist and every move he makes is supported by three alternatives and at least one option that benefits him even in failure
he suports arthur's claim to his father's throne, but Sebastian, cassandra, and even guin could be groomed to fulfill his ultimate goals
on the surface he and roderick are allies, but beneath it all lies both rivalry and mutual manipulations
aurelian views foreign cultures as tools or threats, but never equals
conquest to him is not merely political, but corrective
of all of his children, marian is his greatest success!!
inserting the solement blood into the imperial line has moved aurelian the closest he has ever been to obtaining his goal!
he's also v proud that she has given roderick three heirs, while the other wives have only produced 1 child each
he may or may not have been behind many political deaths (including those that helped roderick, himself, obtain the throne)
and with amira varmont expecting another child and eilia stafford poised to become roderick's next wife, there may be others who need to be eliminated ...
his own ten children were fathered out of legacy and the desire to have as many pieces on the board with solemont loyalties as possible
he is far from proud of all of his children still, love is not absent, but it is conditional, and it is measured by their usefulness to house solemont's restoration

ALBRECHT SOLEMONT / JAMES NORTON
♛ Age: 38 ♛ Relationships: Aurelian Solemont (father), Leora Solemont (mother), Marian Varmont, Helena Solemont, Adelaide Solemont (sisters), Severin Solemont, Ulric Solemont, Emeric Solemont, Lucian Solemont, Anselm Solemont, Roland Solemont (brothers), Roderick Varmont (brother-in-law), Arthur Varmont, Sebastian Varmont (nephews), Cassandra Varmont (niece), Aisling Lorcan (interest), Amira Varmont, Edmund Varmont, Godfrey Varmont, Tristan Varmont, Guinevere Varmont (enemies/rivals), Garbhan Stafford (rival)
Albrecht is a man shaped by responsibility before desire
he is fiercely devoted to his sister marian and she is the emotional center of his life and her safety, happiness, and political standing are his foremost priorities
Treats his nieces and nephews as his own and considers himself both their mentor and protector (even when he spent years away from them)
very loyal to the Varmont regime due to his sister's place in it, but he does not care (nor trust) the other branches of the Varmont family
he desires a permanent position in Astaira and stewardship over Malconaire would be ideal if that can one day be arranged
He is calm, reserved, thoughtful and while he can be seen as cold, at times, it is because his emotions are carefully governed but they do run deep
he is seen as reliable, but also can be a bit dull (he is never one to charm a room, but he does command respect)
he is ambitious, but his ambitions are never selfish and he does not desire glory or power for its own sake
he is introspective and quietly romantic and believes that love should be earned through constantly and not declared through grand gestures
deeply in love with Aisling, but he understands that she sees him as old-fashioned and boring (not to mention the Varmont ties are deeply displeasing to her)
he can understand that, but he would never abandon his position with the Varmont family (even for her), for his loyalty to his sister comes first
suspects she cares for garbhan stafford and he knows that, if that is true, she could never love someone like himself who lacks the charm and excitement garbhan carries with him
he only prays that he never breaks her heart ...
Loyal, disciplined, strategic, self-sacrificing to a fault, overly duty-bound, prone to silent resignations
Definitely someone others can lean on in crisis!!! he's there for his friends and family 100%% and always thinks about what is best for them

LUCIAN SOLEMONT / MICHIEL HUISMAN
♛ Age: 35 ♛ Relationships: Aurelian Solemont (father), Leora Solemont (mother), Marian Varmont, Helena Solemont, Adelaide Solemont (sisters), Severin Solemont, Ulric Solemont, Albrecht Solemont, Emeric Solemont, Anselm Solemont, Roland Solemont (brothers), Roderick Varmont (brother-in-law), Arthur Varmont, Sebastian Varmont (nephews), Cassandra Varmont (niece), Laoise Lorcan (interest)
grew up overshadowed by his older siblings whose roles were already defined
realized early that inheritance alone would never grant him purpose or identify and he left home young to apprentice under foreign traders rather than rely on his family's patronage
built his reputation as a merchant slowly and meticulously
known for honesty, reliability and fair dealings
he specializes in spices, silks, medicinal plants, and rare books
he is fluent in several languages and conversational in many more
he has a deep understanding of foreign customs, etiquette, and political sensitivities
he is equally at ease in a merchant's counting house, a village tavern, or a noble court
he often doesn't like to give out his full name unless pressed and lets his own actions speak for himself, over his family connections
lives simply by choice: modest lodgings, practical clothing, little interest in excess
he is calm, thoughtful and quietly charming
travel has made him deeply empathetic towards other peoples and he does not condone the actions of his father or his brother-in-law upon the world stage
still, he wonders that, no matter his intentions, that he may still be complicit in their actions as long as he maintains ties with his family and makes profits trading with the Varmont empire ....
fell in love with laoise lorcan and has made his feelings known to her and though her rejection of him wounds him deeply, though he both respects and understands her reasonings and her coldness towards him
still, his love for her remains steady, patient, and deeply sincere

Update 12.28.25
Hi! Hope everyone had a good Christmas!
I'm hoping to post the second half of the new characters later this week. I didn't know if there's anything else that has been plotted out that I should add to the character descriptions/relationships other than what I already have?
Good morning, love! Could I reserve Aleksander Royce? And would it be possible to age him down to 34, as well, so he can be closer in age to Lauren’s upcoming character, who we’re thinking he lowkey grew up alongside…Thank youuuu!!
Absolutely to both! (I will mark him as taken a just lmk if you decide not to take him!) 💕

Garbhan Stafford
GARBHAN STAFFORD / DAVID OAKES
♛ Age: 34 ♛ Relationships: Rian Stafford (brother), Eilionora Stafford, Aria Stafford, Siobhan Stafford (cousins), Guinevere Varmont, Aine Lorcan, Aisling Lorcan (flirtations), Eabha Calleary (interest), Finn Calleary, Fiona Calleary, Cormac Calleary (annoyances)
whatever potential garbhan has, is buried deep beneath his self-loathing, cynicism, and hedonism
he's never felt as though he's truly belonged anywhere
he was brought into this this world as the stafford "spare" -- but as long as rian was there, there was no need for him (his brother was groomed to be a ruler and garbhan was nothing more than a placeholder)
garbhan is charming, flirtatious, witty, chaotic, reckless, irresponsible
spends money like it burns him to hold onto it and lives like nothing matters
internally, however, he is deeply lonely, convinced he is unworthy of anything truly good
he has no love for the varmonts, and had convinced himself that life might be better for him once he and his brother returned home, but he has found no love, either, from any of his fellow astairans either
has harbored feelings for eabha calleary for years and even if she were to choose him, he would likely self sabotage the relationship, because he believes that he isn't worthy of it
his relationship with rian is complicated
he mocks, teases, and even resents him ... but he also knows that rian is the one person in the entire world who truly cares for him and, for that, garbhan would die for him
still, he does take pleasure in frustrating his brother -- which is why he's decided to flirt with both Guinevere and Aine (and although he's not as successful as he would like to be with either, he does a better job than his brother, which is enough for him!)
his relationship with aisling is both a distraction and an attempt to make eabha jealous
aisling sweet and kind and looks at him in a way no one ever has
still, he doesn't think she cares for him nearly as deeply as she does!!!
if he did, he would break it off because he a) believes that aisling deserves better and b) part of him knows that aisling could be the girl who could actually redeem him and that is a terrifying thought
