Hi, Elyse here. Due to some personal health issues (now resolved, yay for modern medicine) I've been out of the game for about a month. Since there are so many new people and characters, I thought I'd just re-introduce all of mine to see if anyone wants to plot and/or play.

-Jacques Belmont: The son of the French ambassador. He's passionately Jacobin, extremely hard-working and perfectionistic, and, though he just passed the bar, works as a secretary in the French Embassy in London. He's also a satiric playwright and had one of his plays performed by a provincial French theatre company.

-Lady Gwendolyn Linley: Daughter of an Irish earl who made his money through the East India Company. She's a total gossip, thrives on scandal (as long as it's not about her), and hosts a political salon. Lady Gwendolyn's a Whig through and through and adores fashion and any sort of character defamation she hears.

-Robert Lovering/Richard Brinsley: That would be this guy/ the journal I'm using, an erstwhile, open-hearted American who fell in love with Daphne Lovering while in Paris, and then was thrashed within an inch of his life. Ouch. His plans to go back to the States and embark on a brilliant career somewhere or other now crushed by his bad health, he became addicted to opium and something of an alcoholic. He's now living under an assumed name (Richard Brinsley) as an MP of a rotten borough.

-Miles Rochester: Brother to Katherine Rochester. He has a host of books published in his name, and is extremely embarrassed whenever anyone asks about them because his sister actually wrote them, not him. He's quiet, mild-mannered, devoted to his family, and half-heartedly running his father's trade business. He also hates Lord Eward with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, but that's another story.

-Eliza Ferrars: Eliza made a name for herself as one of the new types of actresses, known for their character and characters as opposed to their lists of lovers, and is very proud of that. Someone ought to clean up the theatre's dubious reputation. She is a member of the Drury Lane Theatre Company, and is self-controlled, cool, extremely talented, and nigh-on puritanical in her morals.
