Morgane's Offspring [Victorian RP; Open] ( )

Postby fangbanger on Wed Nov 04, 2009 8:15 pm

Plot

It is Spring, 1844.
Britain is under Queen Victoria.
This is a story of four high class debutantes and the supernatural.
Four families who are well respected among the ton each raised a beautiful girl, each one more beautiful than the other in different ways. The girls are of the same age as one another, with either older siblings or younger, and have been the bestest of friends since childhood. The four of them are to make their debuts that spring, with the help of society's most respected Dowager Duchess, Lady Christine Hawthorne and her sons as the girls' escorts, who are well off and married, each with an important title.

That early spring, a mysterious family of orphans arrive to Britain and move into a mansion "supposedly" inherited from their late parents. Two young women and four young men. They claim to be the children of late Count Morgane, who passed a decade back and was well-known to be childless with a wife who passed away two months into their marriage.
Many stories circle the new arrivals, but with mystery comes intrigue and the six are invited to the grandest balls in London and elsewhere.

What the ton doesn't know about this family is that they drink blood to survive and sleep by day, each as gorgeous as marble statues. As fate is the only power working in their universe, the four girls, each in their own way, meet the young men. The only problem is that their sister, Amantha, is brewing with jealousy and plans to rid of the girls however way she wishes, without her brothers' knowing, of course. The only person who accidentally discovers Amantha's plans is their other sister. The shy and detached, Carmina doesn't believe her brothers' should court human girls, but she will not, by any means, allow there to be bloodshed when they had finally found a perfectly lovely home.

My Character

Full Name
Lady Magdelena Toutmoore

Nickname
Maggie (Used by Mother, siblings, and friends only.)

Gender
Female

Age
16

Personality
Daring, she's the pleasantly daring one out of the four girls, but only when she's around them. Otherwise, the golden haired angel is polite and lady-like, and not at all empty headed like the rest of the girls among her class, who only see diamonds and pearls and riches in their suitors. Maggie wishes to find a handsome, smart man, who is as daring as her, and can hold a conversation about astrology with her, one of her favorite studies.

Magdelena has motherly tendencies when she's among children, having four younger siblings, all ten years younger than her, which in turn had trained her to be a second mother. Maggie isn't shy among men, she's rather talkative, but is often discouraged from doing so because he Duenna always told her, "Men are intimidated by smart women, just keep your brain to yourself," But how was she going to find a perfect match, when she has to lie about who she truly is, that is one of the main issues surrounding her debut lately.

Bio
Lady Anabelle and Lord Keyton have had trouble with having children, and once Anabelle was pregnant with Magdelena, she was sure she would lose this baby as well. Through the rough pregnancy, Magdelena survived, and was dubbed a miracle baby. Her mother, though, was told that she will never have children again. It wasn't until Maggie was ten years old, did her mother begin popping out children one by one. Now, she has four siblings, all around the ages of 6 to 1. Maggie always found pleasure in helping their nanny take care of the lively bunch, but now she had duties of her own. To find a husband, with a suitable title, have children and live extravagantly, as if she didn't live richly now, even with her father's gambling tendencies.

She has a very pleasant dowry on her name, which is almost irresistible(her father believes), but all this sickens Maggie, because now, she has to choose between suitors who like her fake, typical female act, as well as the ones for her dowry. But she isn't the only one, her best friends are in the same situation. Although, Margaret is already on her second year debut, and is bound to inform Maggie what to do, and how to behave, as well as name all the well-to-do names she has met last year. Alice and Augustine are also accompanying Maggie on their first year. The girls believe these balls are going to be the times of their lives, surrounded by handsome men who would be asking for a dance. It's a dream come true.

Full Name
Alice Smith

Nickname
None

Gender
Female

Age
16

Personality
Alice is very quiet and polite, just how she was taught to be as a child. She keeps her opinions between herself and her journal that she always carries with her. Though she doesn't act like it, she doesn't have the same opinion as her parents, though only her friends know that. She is a very sweet girl, even when people don't deserve it.

Bio
Her and her parents have a very good relationship as long as she bites her tongue around them. She probably wouldn't be able to act so proper if she didn't have her friends to talk to about her feelings. She was raised with many servants and had a nanny that she was very close to. When she turned 12 her nanny died and her parents replace her with chaperone, which was planned on anyway. It was a very hard time for her, and she never grew to like the new woman. When she's not hanging out with friends or doing things with her parents she loves to explore the forest near her house, finding it a relaxing place to write or slip into a make believe world.

A chaperone replaces a nanny in the later years of girl's lives. Chaperones are used to monitor and not leave the girls alone with the suitors that are courting them, so she's been assigned a Duenna(chaperone) when she began getting ready for her debut, a Duenna teaches manners throughoutly, how to behave among men, what to speak about or to whom, and etc. As well as matronly duty and what she has to expect from marriage.

EDIT
Perfect, thank you. You're accepted. :D
Maggie and Alice = Besties.
Now we need two more.

I'd like to reserve a young man/vampire, but I don't have time at the moment to go into real detail about him.

Name; Guillaire (GIL-YAIR) Morgane
Age; oldest brother, undetermined
Nickname; Just Gill or some derivitive
Personality; A very laid-back type of person, but with high ambitions. He believes that lying like a snake in wait is the best method of obtaining what you want. He feels the courship serves a few differant purposes, and finds himself more amused than anything at the prospect of divouring a debutaunt.

Appearance;

Facial Features;

Typical clothing; Wears mostly blacks and reds with fine embroidery and trim.

Emogirl, I can't accept you. I don't think you understand the time period.
And besides, all the spots are taken, and one is reserved. I have to wait a little to see if Logos will make a profile or not.
Sorry, Emogirl, I'm just a little picky on what I want to see in the characters. Even if I helped you make the changes(such as the age because it's too old, adding more to the bio, name because it's taken, as well as the pictures of the dresses), I don't think you could handle the time period still. Sorry.

EDIT
Apple, your spot is reserved. Although I'm a little edgy on the fact that he wants to devour whatever girl he is courting, although, it's fine if he feels that way in the beginning and grows attached to her.

PS.
This is for everyone --> After all the spots are taken, we will pick and choose who to pair with, each couple has to have something special between then, and each girl something special about her that draws the vampire to her. Because realistically, I don't think vampires care too much about humans unless they've found a real gem.

Full Name:
Augustine Hezlet

Nickname:
N/A

Gender:
Female

Age:
16

Personality:
Augustine is a girl that is constantly struggling against the constraints of Victorian Society. Though she despises formalities and finds the trappings of etiquette to be absurd, she knows that she must be well-versed in them to do well in society and get the things she wants. Though she may bend the rules in private, she is always sure to shine in the public eye. Augustine is usually pretty friendly, although she can be rather hard to please. She has a bit of a mean streak and certainly makes a better friend than an enemy. Augustine is known to be a bit bold and outspoken, but knows how to lay on the charm around important persons.

Bio:
Augustine is the daughter of James Hezlet, a wealthy London physician, and his wife Edith. Her only sibling, Victor, was married several years ago and not much is seen of him. Augustine's childhood was not particularly good to her. Her mother and father were constantly at war with each other and she never really developed a solid relationship with either of them. Victor was never very close to her either, mostly due to their age difference. There are rumors circulating that James has a mistress and Augustine often gets rather cruel comments about this from other girls her age, which she certainly doesn't take lying down. Until finishing school, she was mostly a loner. She fell right in with the other girls and gained quite a reputation.

Does Augustine's family have a title? Have they inherited their money or is it new money?
Also, during that time, wealthy girls were homeschooled rather than went to school.

@Waste ---> The two vampire twins? Weren't they in love with each other? I don't believe they'd fit in this RP. The young men should not, by any means, look out of the norm, they should resemble the dashing young suitors that are human, and with titles and riches to flash around, you know?

I might be a little off on this, but I know there were exclusive finishing schools for girls in wealthy families.

And its old money. As for title, I don't know what he would be.

Well, for example, Magdelena's parents are Count and Countess, as well as being old money.
True about the finishing schools, but more often that not, families were more interested in marrying their little girls off to the highest bidder. Shallow, yes, but that's how things worked.

But that's exactly the purpose of a finishing school: They sent their girls there to become suitable brides and members of high society. The learned etiquette and everything they would need to know for their debut (super deep curtsy, kissing the queen's hand... etc).

I actually know a good bit about Victorian society, by the way. I'm not an expert but I do know enough to get around with it. o_o So I know how things generally worked.

And Augustine's family doesn't belong to a particularly noble family. They are wealthy and well thought of, but not really nobility.

I know there is a tendency to over-do the whole vampire appearance with overly-gothic characters and such, so I'm putting up pictures that represent the kind of characters I will accept.

If you choose to use any of these pictures, you are more than welcome to.
Remember, these are only examples, you can find your own, if you so choose.
