*waves* Hi there! I'm Jonathan, one of the co-mods, and I too have a very large number of characters. However, I think those that will be of the most interest to Nathaniel (I really like that name) is...
Lord Tobias Hurst, cousin of the Prince of Wales, father of Patience, Simon, Crispin and Charles, and a good number of illegitimate children too. He gambles, hunts, enjoys most popular past-times and is very generous to those who suck-up to him.
There's also Makepeace Avery, a sucessful Naval Commander, also looking for someone to marry while he's on leave. He's somewhat new to society however, and because of his Quaker religious beliefs he's having some difficulty settling in.
Lord Augustus Burnbridge, Earl of Carmarthen, KC - is a well-respected and very strict judge, and uncle of Fabian Burnbridge. He's rather snobby, egotistical and vigilante.
And there's good old Harry Fisher, he's a London (Hackney, to be precise) gang-lord, brothel-owner, opium-trader, lord of thieves and pretty much every other nasty name in the book. He's planning on climbing the social ladder by marrying above his own humble station.
Welcome to the game, by the way! If there is any plot ideas we could put together, you should let me know! My AIM is: leapfrogandpenny.
