Another One!

And again, another character. Sorry folks!
-Jon

This is Lord Augustus Burnbridge, Earl of Carmarthen. Not only is he a Lord, he is also a Judge, first and formost, and deals with a range of criminal cases, from tavern-brawl murders to attempts on the life of the King.

He is also the uncle of Fabian Burnbridge, the illigitimate son of his half-sister and a man whose identity His Honour would dearly love to know. He'd have him beaten and then bring him to court on charges of assult, rape, forced attentions, buglary, sodomy, treason and littering and anything else he might get be able to get a guilty verdict on.

Aside from that, he looks after his frail nephew as well as he can, and hires the best doctors, tutors and nurses to tend to the boy's every need. He also has the local priest come to see the boy every day for prayers, frightened that should something happen to the boy that his eternal soul will not be properly cared for.

Although 60, he's not yet been married, too career minded, and then too concerned with the health of his half-sister and then her son. He's opening to marry a young lady capable of having at least one son, so that someone other than Fabian can take over his duty as Earl. Not that the old castle needs much caring for, and not that the family has been to Wales for the last three generations, but it's still a duty.

His mistress is Georgina Rochester, although the two are far from in love they do occasionally argue like a married couple, and have similiar goals and asperations for their families.

I'd love to have some of his employees in-game, such as the Housekeeper (Maggie Smith from Secret Garden PB) and Fabian's nurse, and perhaps some meetings between himself and Katherine Rochester (if that's acceptable) as Georgina might try and set the two up. I'd also like his relationship between other noble gentry to be developed, and also perhaps with poorer characters- those who he might have ruled against or for in the past, those who might be trying to offer him goods or money to see things in their favour, that sort of thing.

More information here on his journal.

PB is the amazing Alan Rickman. ♥

It's Mothers from Hell Week Here on Toujours

And with that in mind I bring you the mother of Katherine and Miles Rochester, the very elegant Georgina Rochester.

Georgina is the widow of Percy Rochester and is attempting to secure a profitable future for her son by sleeping her way through the upper-classes. She also wants to marry Katherine off to one of her old lovers as soon as possible. At twenty-two the girl is positively an old maid and no-one will ever love her if she doesn't stop filling her head with the nonsense in Miles's books, which he should stop writing as there is nothing so difficult to marry as a novelist!

Despite her conservative views with her children she's rather a hypocrite when it comes to herself. After all, she's doing it all for them. They should be grateful.

Her PB is the most delectable Miranda Richardson although icons of her in Sleepy Hollow are like gold dust.

I'm open to any and all plots. She'd love to meet the Montford-Miles's, especially considering Eward and Katherine's relationship, and anyone else who might be useful to her. Currently she's the mistress of Judge Augustus and thinks he has a very fine title Katherine should acquire weather she likes it or not.

And she’d also like to find a suitably rich and submissive girl for Miles who she can lord it over to the end of her days.
