New to Giralda, I see. Well, it takes all sorts around here. Take that shifty-eyed weasel by the fire.
Oh, he acts looks like a simple merchant, peddling meager wares, but watch what you say around him. The Empire’s got ears everywhere...
See those two there? They seem all chummy now, but that’s only because Var is trying to convince Jarek to desert the navy in Thisbē and join
those lawless bastards who sail from the Spice Isles. I’m sure that one will kill the other before the week is out, once they’ve got what they want from each other.
Then there’s always the usual mercs; bastards who’d happily kill their own mothers for a coin. Oh, they say those twins from Brelan aren’t so bad,
but a merc is a merc, and money is all they see.
At least there're no damned elves here tonight. One got uppity last month when I insisted the
bastard slept in the stables. A damn generous offer for a half-breed, if you ask me!
Mind yourself if you head into the Wilds. It’s full of things that
would happily eat you and shit you out without a second thought. Even the people who hunt those things are more beast than civil.
Anyway stranger,
what'll it be: a room, or a drink?

CURRENT MONTH: AUREL, 762
This month marks the transition from the scorching sun of summer to the cooling of autumn.

Hey guys! If you don't quite remember me (and I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't, considering I left around 2020 and joined in 2018!) I was formally known as Etsu! I played a myriad of characters onsite, ranging from a rebellious princess to a charismatic bandit who was wanted throughout for petty theft and grand robbery-- well, that had been the idea, LOL, I don't think it ever got that far, unfortunately. Anywho, I'm a nonbinary person from the midwest and I go by they/them. If you'd like to plot with me, go ahead and dm me on discord! That's the quickest way to contact me.
Rhyme is a rebellious, determined, freedom-loving, and moral-based individual who was captured by bandits after the earthquake event when she was presumed dead.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Platonic :
Since she's been held captive for the last five years, she hasn't had much want for friends. If she made any while in the servitude of the bandits who abducted her, they were most likely friends made to advance her own position and convince the others that she wasn't at risk of running. They likely wouldn't even know her real name.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Antagonistic :
These would've been numerous due to her entrapment. She would've made many enemies during her first year of living in the camp due to her rebellious attitude towards any form of authority.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Romantic :
Although Rhyme detests the idea of marriage, she happens to be a hopeless romantic. She falls fast and hard, but won't be eager to let those feelings be known in fear of it being used against her or for an ulterior motive due to her status.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Other Notes :
Other relationships are entirely open to suggestions! Regardless of how you think our characters would get along, I personally prefer to throw them together and see where it goes. I don’t like forcing relationships, but backwritten encounters are fine as well as pre-existing friendships— tenuous ones of course, but they can exist.

[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]About :
Lucas is the manager at Chorus Liliorum with his twin sister, @lilith, in Thisbe’s capital, Sounnah. He’s laid back and rarely ever manages to get angry, although if the order of his space is disrupted (ie the apothecary!) he’s quite susceptible to frustration, which can easily lead to rage. He sells herbs and remedies (as well as random make-to-order mixtures that are requested) at the apothecary as well as poisons and drugs on the side for a decent price in order to save more every month to hopefully in time buy Chorus Liliorum from his mentor.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Platonic :
Platonic friends would be numerous and he makes them quite easily. Close friends are usually one in thirty, so getting close to the Peredhel is a feat in itself.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Antagonistic :
To get on the lads bad side you would have to be a truly bad person or manage to piss him off either while he’s working or if you fuck with his sister.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Romantic :
Romantic interests are far and few inbetween for the Peredhel. He has a locked heart and getting him to show you where he’s chained it up is a tough task. Although he’s wary with romantic interests, he gets crushes all the time and is susceptible to hopeless romanticism of just about everything.

Li Luying is the second born princess of the Sunrise Empire, a Chinese culture based kingdom that is past the continent of Giralda. She’s experienced in martial arts as well as shapeshifting and spearmanship. She’s not much developed past that. Older sister is @mengyao
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Platonic :
Although Li Luying is a princess and may come off spoiled, she wants to make friends and connections. She plans to use those to her advantage so her getting close, emotionally, is ten to one.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Antagonistic :
Li Luying doesn’t take too well to most aggressive, blunt, or violent people, so if she meets them her initial thoughts and feelings would lean toward the negative. They would have to be able to prove that they aren’t only aggressive and that they can show kindness to be on her good side.
[break][break]
[attr="class,"vplotsubs"]Romantic :
She wants to marry for love, not status, so she won’t be wearing her heart on her sleeve. Effort, people effort! She’s a hopeless romantic as well.

[break][break] Tommy takes his job seriously to a fault, often incapable of focusing on anything other than his current assigned mission. He doesn't bother with theatrics although he is a talkative person when he feels like it. Regarding friendships and how that may be attained well, you have fun getting anything out of the guy. Deep emotional connections are hard for him to achieve, so there isn't much chance in the romance category. [break][break] Disregarding his edgy side persona, Tommy loves to read and paint. He was taught as a child and took the passion into his adulthood, although was ridiculed for performing well in a "woman's area of expertise" rather than focusing all of his energy on swordsmanship and strategies. [break][break] When he was around 30 he began exploring the aspects of his gender and how he didn't feel as if the feminine origin of it fit him as a person, he began to transition from female to male. He found someone that could safely remove his breasts without killing him from blood loss or infection and spent most of his recovery time on an island in Annorica with his little band of misfits. Unfortunately, not long after he had fully recovered from his surgery and his group was well underway with a job, they were ambushed by a foreign group of mercenaries who were hired to get rid of Tommy and his group. To thin the competition. [break][break] Later Tommy would learn that one of his closest friends had been the one to sell their group out to the foreign dignitary and ultimately ended up dead at the bottom of the sea not too long after the rest of them had been incarcerated in Palimar. Three of his group ended up committing suicide while sequestered away on Palimar and another was killed while trying to escape. Tommy is the only one left, and he knows the pain of losing his family in what seemed like the blink of an eye. [break][break] Now, though, Tommy is intent on making a friend of the cannibal he's been forced to live with, and come to find out, the beast that he had been telling stories to for the last two months of his time in Palimar's solitary cells.
