decreed ~ the ooc for reigning

Hey everyone! The intros are a'slowly coming in (and I need to write mine!) but it's MEME time! I'm going to wait till the next round of adds to do one where people can discuss their connections (rebel and royals!). But for now, feel free to have EVERYONE interact in the following meme. Assume that the royals know only that the rebels are citizens.

WHAT IS YOUR AURA

take the quiz and c/p their color and description... have them react ICly!

all interactions should be in character but NONE of them have any actual bearing on the history of interactions for the sake of the game. This is merely to help establish the voices and rapport. Now go have fun!

Hello all, I guess I should do an intro.

It is Dana. I have one character Francesca Napoliello who is from Italy. She is the leader of Technology which she inherited from her father who died. Her bio is here. She is calm and very adaptable, which is why got her position. But she is very skilled at what she does. Though she is rather detached and stubborn. Not to mention she is crazy particular about things, like how the job is done.

This is like the worst intro ever. She also goes by the Hacker name Calypso.

hello guys! i think i know some of you, but not everyone so quick & easy summary of me: i'm ashley, my cdj is cronut, & i've got the world's largest boner for european history, so this game is right up my alley. i'm pretty much always accessible via e-mail (i don't pop onto gchat that often, but you're more likely to catch me on there at night) and i am on est, so i think that lumps me in with a good amount of people. don't be afraid to say hi or add my journal, i don't bite~

more relevant to all of you are my characters, which are the following:

for my royal, i snagged this lady here -- or queen, rather. siobhan bonaparte is the queen of france & second princess of ireland; she's very, very close to her family and has slowly groomed herself into being a more prominent figure in the french politicoscape, mostly assuage concerns about a slip-up early on in her husband's reign. she's generally congenial & attended boarding school in switzerland, so she might or might not have fellow royal friends and/or acquaintances -- but she's intensely nationalistic, so she's not entirely fond of great britain (sorry great britain) & spends about 99% of her time being homesick for ireland. she's only begun to warm up to being queen in private in more recent years, though she has always projected nothing less than being perfectly acclimated to the public. she is also notably idealistic & perhaps a bit naïve, no doubt in part to her privileged upbringing being -- hecka royal.

my second character is gregor struna, a slovene rebel over @ discreet. gregor is a sentimental intellectual -- his father was a member of the intelligentsia, a university professor until he lost his job for being far too outspoken & integrated himself completely into the rebel movement. gregor's always been surrounded by rebels, but as his father sunk further and further into the doctrine, it ended up splitting his family apart. his mother and sister left them in 1999 (if anyone would like to play his sister as a rebel in another country, i'd be much obliged). gregor himself is intelligent and a tad squeamish, which is fine he primarily deals with information & its exchange & general espionage. basically, he took his father's place when he was imprisoned six years ago, and the rebel movement hasn't looked back (much) since then. the problem with gregor is that he's a bit of a coward, though that's tamped down for obvious reasons (FOR NOW) and isn't really common knowledge (FOR NOW), and i look forward to seeing him save his hide in several ways because who wouldn't want to see a grown man sell out his fellows for his own personal safety (we're looking at you, peter pettigrew).

i am super excited to write/play with all of yall, so feel free to hit me up for whatever plot you might want and/or need! i am easy like a sunday morning and very flexible, so -- yeah, feel free to use me in the future. (and if anyone has any desires for a connection they might want in game, my third slot is still open & i am very open to suggestions.)

HEY DUDES. Cassie/headgirl here with two chars:

NICOLAS BONAPARTE, aka the King of France. He's a shy sensitive type of dude who many think wasn't cut out to be king - or at the very least, he wasn't yet ready - which may or may not be true. He made some missteps in his earliest days as king where he tried to do things he felt his father would have wanted him to do, rather than what Nicolas wanted to do for his country and his people. His dad died mere weeks after his wedding to one of the princesses of Ireland, which p much spoiled the honeymoon and brought him back to be crowned King. He's gotten better about ruling and is generally perceived as an amiable king, somewhat willing to compromise, but not perceived as willing to change very much.

KAROLINE WERNER (ottowoman) is a 26 year-old German rebel who is secretly dating the Prince of Germany thank you very much! Who do you think got him into the thick of things? She's also head of the Communications division, aka dealing with a lot of the information that comes from the espionage and militia departments. She specializes in encryption and decryption, and uses her real life job at a satellite radio station to submit encrypted messages to various rebel safehouses across the world. She's feisty, opinionated, and wickedly intellectual, so I anticipate her speaking to a lot of people.

Ideally I'd like friends for the both of them but any kind of interactions are great.

Hello all! My name is Amanda and I am pleased to be a part of this lovely RP and to write with and talk to you all. I bring you two characters.

Miroslava "Miri" Ratimir This lady is the leader of the Slovenian and Croatian militia effort, a position she stepped into following the death of her predecessor and older brother, Pavao. Having lost two of her siblings in the rebellion and training relentlessly against the monarchy, she's a loyal but stubborn rebel. She has a mind for strategy and an extensive firearms collection that she's incredible proud of but, after all that she has lost, she has difficulty connecting with and trusting others. She takes her roll very seriously. Her full bio is here and her dropbox is here.


Treasa Dempsey The Crown Princess of Ireland from the House of Byrne. Treasa is extremely focused on her responsibilities to her family and her country. She is married, though it is a marriage of obligation over anything else. She's a kind woman but fiercely protected of her family and their position in the country and is thus frustrated by the rebel activity in Ireland and often seeking ways to quell the problem.

All plotting is welcome.

I suppose introductions really are in order, since I'm fairly sure I've only ever RP'ed with one of you.

Hi! My name is Rey and my mostly neglected cdj is kenobi. Feel free to add it if you like. I promise I'll keep most of my World Cup nonsense on Facebook. I came back from RP retirement in the winter, mostly confining myself to PSL-land. My wife and I go to the movies nearly every weekend, and I'm

PHILIP MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR is the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom. He was groomed to inherit the crown from his father some day, but the tragic death of his parents certainly accelerated the timetable. He had originally chosen a military career, but changed course and decided to focus on politics and philanthropy. He's engaged to be married to olenka and has a bit of a rivalry going with kostya.

I'm a little nervous but very excited about interacting with you all. I'd love friends for him, as well a woman (or two, maybe a royal and a rebel?) he dated prior to his engagement to Olga. Anything at all, really. Just let me know.

Hi everyone! I know a bunch of you, but for those of you that I don't know, I am Eronn. My CDJ is at dundermifflin. I just finished cooking a ton of food for the week ahead, so I feel like I can take a break now to intro. :)

I have three characters:

Vera Karađorđević, princess of Slovenia & Croatia (this journal). Public front: poised, intelligent, well-liked by the people. Rumors of a match between her and the prince of Belarus are swirling. Privately, she's actually a rebel who is hoping to use the match to further the rebel agenda. As of right now, I believe the only people who know she is a rebel are the S&C rebel folks, although perhaps the other secret rebels know as well? IDK, I'm cool either way.

Vera would be friendly and polite to all the royal folks, and I'd like for her to have a few friends that she can feel slightly guilty about betraying. Also of interest: people will have noticed that she has recently been dressing a lot better, has more sophisticated make-up, etc. Feel free to have your character speculate that it's to help reel in the prince of Belarus.

Conall McIntyre, Scottish rebel who is head of their militia (caniblowitup). He's an expert in explosives, and his solution to every single problem is to blow something up. Seriously. Let him blow shit up and he will love you forever.

Conall is kind of dorky, but he is also inspiring and passionate when he's speaking, and he's great at getting an audience to respond to him. He's had a few past relationships within the rebel ranks, so if you'd like your character to have an awkward ex-boyfriend, let me know!

Kris Longasslastname, prince of Norway (norgeprins. Okay, that's not really his last name but I am not typing it all out. Practical jokester who pretty much borrowed that trait from his elder brother, Geir. He's basically a big goofball and a huge flirt with all women, regardless of how attracted he is to them. It just comes naturally.

He did break the heart of a princess in the past, so again, if you'd like a relationship there, let me know!

Whew, that is all three, sorry this ended up so long.
