Sorry, missed that part, in middle of work. Yess it is actually inspired from south asian/middle eastern culture.

✢ Affairs of the Court ✢

@Avanhelsing Youre correct, was intending for Vertiron to have a italian/french mix to it, and Astaria is more like English, but Austria works well too.

✢ Affairs of the Court ✢

@Hushed Whispers Sure thing!

@ayzrules Well it's the same with the real world nobility, but from what I've researched it can be of the lesser title, (like marquess) so I guess if youre planning to make a duke's daughter it should be related to whoever is playing the duke. If you need some research material, you could check out this

@cerozer0 Either if they're of nobility, captain or a well known businessperson then I guess theyre good. For now the max chars would be 2.

@Avanhelsing That sounds good actually, since the nations are currently tensed after the recent war, a lot of things can happen when you pack their leaders into one place at the same time, forcing to socialize with each other

Edit: and yes npcs are also allowed if it helps for plots/character development

@Hushed Whispers I should let you know that the Queen regent of Vertiron is actually my character's mother . But if you're willing to take her role then its absolutely cool with me.

So far this is all it, not sure if I missed anything else but I'll be updating anything that I did once I'm free. Now, I'm off to work.

Dame Florence Raibert of Astaria

---

Name: Jean Florence Raibert
Title/Occupation: Astarian Dame, Mathematician
Nationality: Bridgmont born, Astarian raised
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual, Female leaning.

---

Appearance: With fashion, Florence has two qualities to live by; exuberant yet practical. Her clothing and style is somehow influenced by her personality, a good balance between practicality and quirkiness. Her outfit is mainly composed of blouses and suits, a long skirt though she has a preference for trousers, to have more room to move especially that she rides a bicycle to work. _reference

Florence has the typical appearance of a Bridgemont native (that's because she is), and the first thing that strikes people is her bright red hair which she cut short. In her defence, it was taking her too long to manage and like the practical, stubborn woman she is, cut it off to save her more time in managing. Aside from that, her facial structure is also a dead give away, having softer, more youthful features typical of a Bridgemont born.

Interests:
-Math and Sciences. Mainly Astronomy, Geometry, exploring/inventing various computing algorithms, you know the usual.
-Folklore; mythology and fairytales, brings her nostalgia of her childhood hometown
-Wide open spaces; the seas and plains
-Traveling to different places, exploring different cultures.

Personality: A few words that best describe Florence would be Eccentric, Passionate and Intelligent. She is a fast learner, having the gift to come up with complex ideas, and if you allow her to express them, her eyes would light up with passion that can be both endearing and contagious but to some it may be draining. Despite her brilliant mind she is slow to figure out social cues, that at certain times she may not be aware that she's being too much, directly offending and or even misunderstanding what people intend to say.

With her passion for numbers, coupled by her impressive brightness and education that further honed her gifts Florence earned her way to a career in mathematics, a career most commonly practiced by boring old men, but that's just how she loves it.

Florence is the very definition of a liberated and adventurous soul. She does not care what other people think of her and most of the time they lack anything good. While visiting a small town at the fringes of Bridgemont, she was once accused of being a witch by simply introducing them to the magic of pure simple science. She always keeps an open mind on everything and always remember to perceive things rather than judge without context like a true logician.

History: Jean Florence Raibert, one of the daughters of wealthy Bridgemont land owners Angus and Felicity Raibert. The child second to the youngest of eight children, five girls and three boys. Living all her life in the cities of Astaria, Florence vaguely remembers some part of her early childhood. Bridgemont's lush orange fields and forests during the fall, the town's colorful streamers hanging from one post to the other, the small town's upcoming autumn festival. She remembers the carriege ride on the long path to her home. Those are the few fondes memories that Florence kept with her after she moved to Banford, the capital of Astaria with her Aunt. At times if she can, Florence would visit her Bridgmont for the seasonal festivities, enjoying her hometown's lovely culture.

Without children of her own, Aunt Geraldine, an elderly pledged spinster, had taken her in when she was thirteen years old, helping her around the mansion. During one of her aunts private soirees, she met Douglas Smith, an intelligent unmarried, older gentleman and a close friend of her aunt took an interest in the bright young Florence, as she did make a quirky impression on him. Seeing her potential, he proposed to his dear friend Geraldine the prospect of taking her under his wing, as he was just in the look out for an assistant himself.

Florence developed the love for numbers. At 17 she assisted her mentor in developing one of their biggest projects yet, one that could enter the world into a new age science; the recognition and development of an actual "computing machine". An ambitious goal but technologically possible, and Douglas was very much up for the challenge. Unfortunately, Douglas choked on a chicken bone one evening and met his untimely demise in the midst of it's development.

The project is now left in the hands of the young Florence. As a promise she dedicated her life on it, day and night til a few years of hard work the project reached it's full success. The moment she had a breakthrough that very next day, she immediately packed her things and rode her bicycle way to the prestigious University of Banford, and faced the board. Her intelligence and passion on the subject had wowed and convinced convinced them. For that service alone, she was recognised by the Astarian court and gained the title of Dame, along with a profession in Mathematics at one of Astaria's prestigious Universities.

Theodoro Corelli, King of Vertiron

---

Name: Theodoro Corelli
Title/Occupation: King of the Vertiron Kingdom
Nationality: Vertiron
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual, Biromantic

---

Appearance: A lot of people get so amazed at how very much Theodoro resembles the late king Vincento. His dark hair, olive skin, his distinctly strong facial features and a stare that can send chills up the spine. And like his father Theo has the gait of a haughty man, as one would have typically expect from a man born in the highest status. Standing at 6 foot three with a sculpted build, and clothing of quality, Theodoro expectedly fits the image of a young king that sets him apart from the lower nobilities. He does care for his appearance accordingly if only he is asked to by her mother for the sake of social appearances.

Interests:
- Sports; Horse racing, Cricket
- Winning debates
- Chess; but hates losing
- Whittling; making miniature horses
- Music; playing the piano

Personality: Theodoro is a man mysterious, intimidating to those who do not know him personally. Reserved, formal and down to earth, very much like his own father, are the usual qualities he maintains when inside the court. He carries himself with a confident and gentlemanly air, basically, the usual and ideal qualities of an earnest King. But when not in the court's rigid atmosphere, the king is not really what he seems to be. Theo, in person, is shy, good natured and gentle a contrast from his cold, kingly image. The pressures of the throne at just a very young age had sacrificed most of his childhood, but has thought him to adapt to the expectations of the people and his own mother, which all through out Theo thinks he had not entirely enjoyed and fulfilled his life for that reason.

To some of his very few friends, Theo is a naively fun loving to their own surprise, and compassionate towards those who he care so much about. Of all his father's qualities he acquired, his ill temperedness was one that stood out. He is easily angered only when things don't go the way he intend it to, such as losing a game or an argument and is used to being always right, an attitude which could've been the effect of excessively being spoiled. Usually he lashes out and or walks away from it. That being said it is also quite difficult to ask an apology for him, as his soaring pride wont let him even though he feels strong guilt for what he's done, letting it eat him away instead for quite a time than actually saying sorry.


History:

Theodoro Corelli, only son of the late King Vincento and his Queen Theresa, was born and raised in Vertiron's royal castle at the dawn of a wintery evening. When Theo was a young child, he was very shy and clingy almost never leaving his mother's side wherever she goes. As the first heir to the throne, he had been stictly trained and educated capable enough to rule the kingdom one day. Although he dont fully remember his father well, since he was merely a young child the time he died, and was also the same time he had taken his place on the throne, he knew stories of him from his mother. The way she tells them filled with love and respect for him that still remained with her after all these years. That time young Theo had little understanding of what was going on, only that he had knew his father had died and it was his turn to sit on the big chair now. Alone in the chair, with the sound of trumpets and the sea of strangers had scared the young boy. That night of his grand coronation, Theo was crying all throughout.

When he got older he was trained on the art of statesmanship, a critical skill for a king even though his mother handles most of the courtly affairs but he knows there will be a time that Theo has to do things on his own, therefore he tries to be the best that he could. And with time he had proven himself to a level of managing affairs on his own. He became more active in the courts and meetings with the other kingdoms, and more recently with the Lygarthiens who did not receive the Vertiron hospitality too well, still have not forgotten the broken promise. The tensions arose to the point of threats of a war that will come to them, but all the while Theo remained collected on the critical issue, doing all he could to lessen the tension. Regardless, he had his officials and spies keep an eye on them, preparing for a war that might ensue at anytime.

Theodoro had been a regular participant in the seasons, a process he's all too familiar of and with slight disdain for the event. For years he had been strictly searching and courting but in the eyes of the court not one have been deemed worthy to marry the King of Vertiron. They consider this a critical task since the wife he chooses will greatly affect the future both their kingdoms, if he ends up marrying from another kingdom. Right now his goal is to look for someone that will mostly of benefit to the kingdom, notwithstanding his own personal happiness. But will he be willing to go against the court's wishes if he finally finds something that truly matters to him?
