hi alex! i'm ashley, and i'm over at cronut. i've got two characters right now, one rebel (gregor @ discreet) and one royal (siobhan at this journal). siobhan is rather personable but her political ideals are quite -- well, ideal. she's more than sheltered & so her increasing participation in political dialogue probably would irk anastasia, though i could see them being more congenial in a private setting. either way, siobhan is fairly easygoing considering her station in life; she just has a big bad case of privilege, in all honesty.
richardo would know my rebel, gregor, who is in charge of intelligence for the czech-slove initiative. i imagine that technology & intelligence sort of go hand-in-hand but they're obviously from differing countries -- i'd suspect acquaintances right now, with potential for a more firm friendship as the game goes on.
