Hyde Park Corner OOC

Roz, again, with her penultimate character.

Beth Downing is a fake medium. Since she was a little girl her grandmother told her she had the ‘sight’ but Beth had never had a visitation or spoken to any spirits or the like. What she did discover though was people would pay handsomely to hear the things they wanted to hear. She left home and travelled the fashionable spots, teaching herself ways to deceive and how to create fantastical displays.

Beth doesn’t have much of a problem in using her looks to help her out when her natural showmanship is failing and she’s partial to men with deep pockets who like to spend lavishly.
Now back in London she’s about to have quite a shock as she realises she’s not quite as fake as she thought she was.

Hello everybody, I’m Misty and I play Elizabeth Isabel Hamilton.

Okay… what to say about me first. Well, I’ve been role playing for over nine months now. I am extremely active on the other games I’ve been on, and I will be active on this one as well. Oh since I know that this game has people from all over the world, I will say that I live in the states and that I’m in the central time zone.  I will also say that, having studied  music in great detail myself, that my character will possess those traits as well. I will also say that I am open to any type of plot line, anything that anyone has. I am not scared to carry big plots though.

I will also put out there that this is the first RP I’ve done on insane journal and that I’m going to have to learn the logistics of how this one works. I’ll get it though!

Elizabeth is the eighteen-year-old daughter of Henry and Isabel Hamilton, and has three older sisters, whom are all married. Her family owns one of the predominate banks in London, and they live a very affluent lifestyle. She does not have a job because of the fact that she has never been allowed to work, due to the status of her family. Elizabeth is an accomplished musician, playing the piano and singing as a soprano.

She has no romantic ties to anyone, so she's not even sure that she'll follow in the footsteps of her sister.

Plots for Elizabeth..
I would love to see her get into witchcraft… you know be drawn to it, like a moth to a flame so to speak.

Also, find the person that she is meant to be with, whether he is wealthy or not.

Anything else, I’m up for it, just contact me and I’ll be more than glad to talk to you about it! Have a great and wonderful day!

Hello to you all. I'm Jessica and this, this is Remi. He's a vampire and the youngest (so far *G*) of Mariella's family. He is, or was, related to Louis XIV, etc through his mother's side of the family and still carries the air of aristocracy now. The best word to describe him is a hedonist. He is wicked and playful, likes a challenge and can be very seductive. He has no desire to turn anyone but mostly he says it's because he hasn't found the right people. :)

Storyline wise, I'm open to anything. I would like him to be involved with the Council and while most of the time looking like he doesn't care, it does in fact mean a great deal; family relationships; enemies... I'd love people for him to 'play with', pretty boys and girls, men and women who like a bit of the naughty side *G*

Look forward to playing with everyone and having a blast :)

Hello my new best friends =)

I am so incredibly excited to be involved in a Victorian-era game you have no idea! Who am I exactly? My name is Ally, I'm 22, recently graduating University and I live in Scotland of the UK. I am also in love with my character's default icon. Anyway there's nothing really more to be said about me, so I shall introduce my person here without further ado-

This here is Libby or Morena, depending on how you know her. Mortals, humans, know her as Libby in her little London shop. Supernaturals know her as Morena, a life-line to many who offers her super services for a fee. Morena is a very powerful witch, whose family raised her on a farm with the belief she was destined to be something akin to Jesus or "the chosen one". Her mother was the daughter of a very rich man and his family who believed themselves to be cursed - when Morena was born she was abandoned with her real father, the son of a farmer, and a long line of witches. Now, THIS family was poor and unerpriviledged - but they hadn't had a female witch born in centuries so Morena, to them, was like their second coming and she was given every opportunity available to make herself what she is today.

After becoming a very powerful pixie Morena is now 93, works as a seamstress by day and a conjurer/seer/general practictioner by night (sometimes the morning too). However your darling characters know her, one thing is for certain - she is STRANGE! (for a number of reasons)

So, I would love plot, and storylines, and all manner of connections. My AIM is MinorKeysInMusic and it's so much easier to ping me there. LOVE!

EDIT! Yes, she's also a member/leader of the coven of witches... so yay :)

Jon again. :P As you all know, you can contact me via the information on my character journal, or aim: leapfrogandpenny.

Philip Charles Baker is a scientist who has faced one crushing defeat after another, and yet still manages to get up in the morning and go about his business as if the prospect of debtors prison is not a reality he must not yet face. Too poor to study his love of chemistry at university, he instead worked in laboratories until he scraped enough money through loans to rent enough space to conduct his own research on medicines and healing tonics. He was successful, for a time, selling a tonic which offered to subdue periods of hysteria, or bouts of insanity, and the tonic was known to at least calm those who suffered such ills and become popular with private citizens caring for loved-ones and with hospitals and asylums.

But fire destroyed his dreams and his savings and now he conducts research for others in order to pay back some of his debt, but his merge income hardly covers the interest, never mind his living expenses or the majority of his loan.

As such, he studies the work and methods of mediums, of those who claim power beyond that of the normal realm of the scientific, and with what materials he has attempts to measure their ability, to document, and to discuss as best he can. He is unconvinced, sure that it is all elaborate tricks to fool people who allow themselves to be fooled out of grief and desperation, but he says nothing. Such remarks would be less than scientific.

I'm hoping he might be able to interact with some of the human-humans, as well as some witches and mediums too? Any ideas are welcome!
