@Dulcet ehehe, I had ideas in the interest check!  I just am now nearly certain I have made a decision.  Even if it's not the one I intended.  Stupid characters, having minds of their own...

>love
>tragedy

WELL THEN.

Ahaha, I know who's coming, because if she likes it that much then dear gods, your star will /adore/ Alys.  She's the messed-up one that has recovered some but still carries deep, /deep/ scars.  ...Oooh, I should see if I can't drag Sly over to this!  I mean, she's not on this site, but she plays the guy that Alys eventually marries.  ...After trying to push him away, taking gentle advantage of him (possibly more than gentle, but to be fair he kept offering), putting him through the emotional wringer, eventually crushing his heart so thoroughly that he fled London so as not to encounter her by chance, and then TEN YEARS LATER he has returned and runs into her again and the whole tragic spiral starts over.  Though we do give it an eventually happy ending?  ^.^;;

This doesn't even touch on why she's so messed up to start with, of course, nor the half-point in her story where she completes her objective and then expects to be killed or imprisoned for life.  And turns herself in so she can be.  *giggles like a mad fool*  SO YEAH.

It's a shame, because I really wanted to play Cecilly (technically blind dancer) or rhylaen (stranded youth) but neither one fits the sort of thing that our lovely host adores so much as Alys.  ^.^;;

As a side note, you might like Fallen London, which is where Alys originates.  <3  "In matters of the Bazaar, always look to love."

The only issue here is that before the halfpoint Alys is incredibly hard to get close to.  But I suppose right about when she's resolved that she is going to remove herself from Maxwell's life because he has a not-quite-wife that absolutely adores him would be sufficiently tragic, and that's much farther on.  ^.^

Might change my mind.  It's nearly six am and I've been up most of the night and I'm sick.  But yeah, this is the instinctive reaction.

@Denalz Before I go to the effort of putting together a lengthy reply to this, I have a question for you: what is your opinion of fantasy and adding elements of fantasy to *checks* in this case, a historical rp?  For example, one where Zeus's priests could shock people with lightning, or where fairies might really take you underhill if you found them dancing?  Alternatively, functional magic is a serious love of mine.  I don't /usually/ stray too far from the fantasy umbrella, but the historical eras you've mentioned are mostly ones I've been toying with trying, and you seem like a decent fellow with reasonable expectations.  Might be worth the stretch even if you don't want any fantasy at all.  I'd need to think on it.

Edit: Erm.  I just realized that I followed you here from somewhere you made a comment on a 1x1 check, and...ahaha, this is an /old/ thread.  ^.^;;  Sorry, didn't mean to necro it.  *hides*

@DepressedSoviet You too, huh?  x.x  No longer certain it's only allergies.  *makes tea for the both of us*

@Scout indeed she would not.  Yee~  This'll be fun!

@Scout Nice post!  Although you've got Amune /completely/ freaked out, now, since they were attacked by vazra a couple days ago.  Or soemthing like that...feels like it's been longer than it has.  ^.^  

My allergies have decided that screwing me royally is the way to go, so I not only couldn't sing for the second choir concert but I also feel like death warmed over.  I'm working on a sheet, but...X.x  @DepressedSoviet  you might want to consider if I'm worth waiting for.  Life keeps insisting I'm far more overwhelmed than I ought to be.

@TheMinorFall Same thing that's wrong with everyone.  Life?  I recommend moving to the internet immediately.  I am trying to do this.  *clings*

On a more serious note, is there anything I can do?  For you, for writing, for...whatever?
