Hyde Park Corner OOC

For those that don't recognize me, I'm Liz. My AIM is Draqonelle and I humbly offer up the Valliants. Mystery solving, globe trotting, victorian twins. Their Father is the famed Professor G. Valliant, a superhero and super scientist of his day.

Vance is a strapping athletic lad, on the verge of manhood. He dreams of being the next Leonardo Da Vinci though his inventions are not only ahead of their time, but generally backfire. He has no interest in getting married. (Even the prurile interest of the average young man, if you catch my drift.) He likes animals, feats of daring, and sobriety. He cannot refuse a gentleman's wager non matter how inane.

Violet is a beautiful young lady, stern and bookish. She is a terrible gossip, has a memory for facts and figures, who cares for her brother and father. She is always seen with opera glasses and a small notebook. She is unlucky in love, and many of the young men she wishes would take an interest, turn out to become only friends. She wishes to break free from the world, and find a man who likes travel, art and has a supreme love of Schadenfraude. She loves to go shopping, go undercover to uncover treachery (mostly because she is an adequate actor and loves to surprise people when she unveils her true identity) and the company of people who think just like her. She is overly anxious

Lines

• I am so sorry for your loss
  Their father is missing in Fiji, and presumed dead or eaten by Cannibals. Recently evidence has been found that some of his crew have been killed. So people who know Professor valliant may wish to pay their respects, if Vance doesn't have a hissy fit.
• Mentor/Assistant/babysitter for Vance
  Vance is a energetic and scatterbrained inventor. He may need a sterner influence, mainly so he doesn't turn himself purple or cut off his fingers. An older gentleman who perhaps with a scientific or mechancial background, or even an intelligent freethinker and innovator, whom could Convince the young man to be wiser, and help him with his loss.
• London Friends Violet is seeking to expand her social circle. For now she only wishes to make friends with people who think the exact same way she does. But anyone will do. She is very upset over her loss and becoming cross with her brother
• enemies, rivals, frenemies or friendly rivals
  Vance will probably get in some fights. He is very aggressive. Violet is very nosey and it will get her in jams. Don't you just love to hate them?
• Bully Cad and Thief Violet did have one suitor. The sworn Enemy of Vance Valliant. He even tied her to the railroad tracks when she refused to marry him. Not really a threat, melodramatic and insane. Still may harbor emnity and lust for the twins.
  

Hello my lovelies! I'm Kathryn and thrilled to join this game and find it already started! I'm currently limiting myself to a single character (we'll see how long my self-control lasts!). Meet Isabelle Virginie de Valmay; she is a vampire, but likes to think of herself foremost as a product of the Enlightenment and an intellectual. Spoiled, mostly amoral, and used to getting her own way in life-- not much has altered for Isabelle in her new existence. She is something of a hedonist, and so far mostly oblivious to the politics of the Council.

I'd love to have a human or two that attracts her notice. When she was alive, Isabelle acted as a patron and muse to artists, philosophers, and scientists and thinks she can continue on in this role. Exploring the dynamics with other undead characters would be great as well, I suspect her considerable sense of self-importance might grate on more than a few of them. I'm still mulling over other possible lines and would welcome ideas!
