You Are Cordially Invited

NPC's

a part of “You Are Cordially Invited”, a fictional universe by Princess Silkiesoft.

As far as society could tell the Linford family was the definition of a well to do family. This was all a good show on the part of the Linford's. How are they to keep up appearances, long enough to get their daughters married to proper men?

This is the section where I will put character sheets for each of the NPC's, Mr Linford will be included here, as well as the butler, the cook, and the maid that are still employed by the Linfords. Im also debating on making the town gossip an NPC as well. If any of you have a suggestion as to another NPC, or would like to make one yourself, feel free to do so.

I can make the maid if you wouldn't mind. Would she need a back story and all that?

Yes, if you want to make the maid thats fine. The basics a picture, name, age, personality and a short back story is all that is needed really. Nothing to elaborate. Just enough so the character can be portrayed consistently by everyone.

Artemis Corey
Age: 57
Role: Butler at Willowcrock Manor
Image

Personality: Artemis is a quiet man, who does his work and keeps to himself. He doesn't go out of his way to trouble himself with the family, however he is loyal and does his duties with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. As of late he has become concerned with the stability of his employment and worries that he might not have a place to live within the year.

Back story: Artemis has been working for the Linfords since he was a child, he worked for Mr Linfords parents starting in the stables. When Mr Linford married and moved into Willowcrock Manor he went with the younger of the Linfords sons in hopes of being paid more as a butler. Now with the Linfords are in almost financial ruin he has began the search for employment somewhere else. Perhaps with the young Miss Bellview and her new husband, it would be ideal for him to at least be with one of the girls that he has grown fond of watching them grow up over the years.

Delores Cuthboard
Age: 50
Role: Cook at Willowcrock Manor
Image

Personality: Delores is a kindly woman that cares for the family as she would her own. She can be a bit scatterbrained sometimes, but she never lets that get in the way of her cooking. She is well known all over Melbourneshire as one of the best cooks. She would hate to see the family go into ruin, and not because that would mean she would be homeless and in need of employment. But more so because she cares for the Linfords, especially the young girls she has watched grow up over the years.

Back Story: Delores was hired by the Linfords almost twelve years ago after the first cook bombed an important dinner party. She had only been hired temporarily to help with this party but after the head cook did so horribly the Linfords offered Delores the job. She graciously accepted and has been working for them ever since. Granted the job used to be much easier because she had assistants in the kitchen to help her prepare and plan meals. But since the Linfords had to let her assistants go the task is more painstaking when you have to do everything by yourself. Mrs. Linford does her best to help Delores as much as she can, even though it would be quite the scandal if it was found that the lady of the house was working in the kitchen like a commoner.

That is the cook character from Downton, she is one of my favorites
There is a sacredness in tears....They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.

Thomas Leopold Linford
Age: 55
Role: Master of Willowcrock Manner
Image
Personality: Despite growing up the youngest of three sons in a wealthy aristocratic family, Thomas is quite down to Earth. He has a great sense of humor as is good at laughing at himself and those around him. Honestly he thought he'd never find a wife, his mother had always told him he was too flighty for his own good. He always loves excitement, and I guess that's why he gambles so much. Its his way of getting back to his youth and reliving that time when he had no worries, like who to marry off three daughters to. He desperately loves his wife and family and would do anything for anyone of his girls.

Even if it meant giving his life so they could live happy lives. He really doesn't like the idea of just having them marry whomever, but he certainly doesn't want them marrying someone who would treat the wrongly either. Deep down he's a good man that has messed up terribly and he hopes that he can do something before he is taken away to prison so that his wife and daughters are cared for in his absence.

Back Story: Thomas Linford is the youngest of the wealthy Linford family of Sandcreek Abby, his family has resided there for well over a century. His eldest brother Oliver now resides there with his family, who consists of a strapping young son and his daughter Melody. However Thomas doesn't no have a good relationship with his brother right now, considering he is one of the people he owes money. His second brother and the middle child Daniel Linford, resides in London and is a practicing doctor. As of late he has no married, and has a habit of courting his patients, for periods of time. Only for a date of marriage to never be set. He visits Willowcrock on occasion to check on the health of the family. Both of Thomas' elder brothers were given surmountable amounts as their inheritance. However with Thomas being the youngest and most stubborn of the three, he was given a limited amount. More because the families fortune was spread between three boys, but also because Thomas' father believed he was reckless and deserved to be taught a lesson.

He always had a much better relationship with his mother, most would say she spoiled her youngest, and they'd be telling the truth. For many years as a young man he wasted so much, parties, but mostly gambling. That is until he met Mary, for him it was love at first sight and even though he knew he couldn't give a wife much, they soon married in a whirlwind of romance. His parents were shocked, to say the least, for Thomas to suddenly settle down and marry was somewhat of a miracle. Because he had no home to inherit, as a reward for finally coming to his senses his father bought him a home in nearby Melbourneshire. A home that Thomas named Willowcrock Manor, at first things seemed quite well. He and Mary started a family, with their lovely daughter Eliza, then soon after that, Esther, and then the youngest Rowena. Mary's pregnancy with Rowena had been quite arduous, and after giving birth to the youngest Linford, doctors told Mary she would probably never conceive again.

Now, no one could say that Thomas didn't love his daughters, cause he loved then with every fiber of his being, but without a son to carry on the name. His branch of the Linford family would die off, not that he had to worry about it too much it was his eldest brothers duty to continue it, but he would have liked to have a son to pass things down to. So he went on trying to make a happy life for his girls, but there times that were hard for him, that itch for adventure that he had in his youth never quite faded. This need manifested in the playing of cards and making bad bets on them.

Eventually it began to take a toll on the families finances, the first loan he took was from his eldest brother Oliver. That was easy at first but he knew that he would never be able to pay it back. With that being so easy, he started asking for loans from others. Till even getting money to fund his eldest daughters wedding, it was as this party celebrating his new son in law where he met Mr. Nash. Of course, they played cards together and one cold never play a decent card game without a friendly wager. Eventually Thomas was in over his head, and when he could not pay the winnings owed Mr. Nash, he knew his goose was cooked. He had heard from many, that Mr. Nash was relentless when it came to money.

Thomas' world had come to a head, and he knew he was in trouble, he didn't want to take his young daughters with him. So he decided to go for one last hurrah and hope that his daughters would find suitable husbands, to save them from the fate that would soon befall him. He just hopes that word of this does not reach Mr Nash, because surly that would send his debtor to Willowcrock, and then what would he do. It's quite possible that he could be dragged away in irons before the night is through.

Warren Marcus Bellview
Age: Twenty four
Role: Wealthy businessman married to Eliza
Image

Personality: One must say Eliza got lucky with this one. He is a kind man with a good heart, and he thinks the world of Eliza. Very intelligent and a meticulous businessman, he prides himself on working hard in order to give his lovely wife whatever she might want. However unlike her father, he knows how to manage his money so that it works for him and not against him. He might seen very straight, in the office he works in at Peabody Manufacturing Company, at home he is a different person. Warren knows how to separate his work from his home life. He looks forward to the day when he and Eliza, begin to have children.

Back Story: Warren is the eldest of the Manchester Bellviews, a very prominent family in their province. His father owns Peabody Manufacturing Company in Knightsgill, Manchester so as soon as Warren was old enough he began working for the family business. Naturally, his next step after coming of age was to find a wife. He spent several years looking, and never could find a girl he would fancy until he happened to meet Miss Eliza Linford at a party. He was immediately struck by her beauty, and scrambled to find as much about her in one night as he could. A week or two after meeting her, he made his way to Willowcrock Manor, to ask permission from her father to court Eliza and to come to call on the lovely woman that had stole his heart. He found her father quite welcome to the notion and after a year of courting they were married. They have been married four happy years now, and he hopes that he and Eliza will begin to start a family soon.

Katherine "Katy' Morigan
Age: 18
Role: Maid at Willowcrock Manor
Image

Personality: Very much a sweet country girl, that has never had much in her life. She is grateful to the Linfords fro keeping her on after sacking several of the other maids. Seems she was one of the few with enough morals not to have sticky fingers. She is very fond of the Linford girls, and thinks of them in a sisterly fashion. Growing up in a large family before her employment, she learned many of the skills she implements in her work. But it also gave her a sense of duty to the Linfords and the people she now considers her family. She is aware of the financial problems, and she fears loosing her job, because she has no idea where she would go afterwards. She certainly can't go back home because her parents definitely couldn't keep her. One of her biggest, faults is that her curiosity gets the best of her at times, and she likes to eavesdrop, however she has not been caught yet.

Back Story: Katy is one of the newest employs of the Linfords, and one of the only ones that has not grown up in their employ. Her parents sent her to work for the Linfords when they were forced to take in the children of her elder brother. The children's father, Katy's brother, had worked in a work house and died after loosing his hand in a machine. The injuries became infected and he died from his wounds. The children's mother had died five years prier giving birth to the youngest of the three. Instead of her nephews and niece being sent to an orphanage they came to live with their grandparents. This made, space and money tight, for the always financially strained family.

Unable to provide a dowry of any kind made it practically impossible for them to procure a husband for Katy. Which is common place with the poor, it is typically up to them to find their own wife or husband, and you continue to live in poverty like your parents before you. As an alternative however, Katy applied to work for the Linfords and was employed, unfortunately not long after that they fired a all of their other maids except for Katy. Yes of course she was grateful to still have her job, but it certainly worried her as to how long she would have work. If the Linfords do let her go she doesn't know where she will go.
