hello, all! i'm bringing you two characters, because apparently i have no impulse control. and a fondness for blondes? i'm hoping to get both apps done by friday, so i can invade by the weekend.
first, there's mairenn, a middle-aged elf druid who is married to one of the tribe leaders -- or something of a similar ilk, if i can't get permission on that. recently, her husband has picked up a younger mistress, leaving mairenn out in the cold. she's still the most advantageous partner for him in terms of bloodlines and so the marriage remains intact, but mairenn has essentially fled her home in favor of living among the humans at nova sanco. the affair has been kept relatively quiet outside of certain elven circles, and so she merely claims her extended stay is because she's bored, and the petty lives of the humans entertain her. in truth, she just can't stand the idea of returning to a home where she'll have to watch her husband with another woman. she's a tinge bitter, always snarky, and enjoys indulging in people-watching... provided that people-watching includes insulting commentary. she's just here to laugh at the sad, short lives of humans while pretending her own isn't equally pathetic. also, she brought a sizeable purse with her to make people more accommodating and to keep their mouths shut. and to buy more clothes.
i know everyone will be jumping to be her bffl because she's such a sparkly personality~, but i assume there are at least a few people who'd really just like her to leave nova sanco right now and i'd love to find them. i'm also looking for a few who find her sarcasm amusing, and a few who share her appreciation for the finer things in life, etc. i'll take friends or enemies, whatever you've got. i'm still debating whether her arrival to nova sanco is brand new, or if she has been here for a bit, so if you guys have recommendations in that regard i'd love to hear them!
secondly, i have raghnaid, a human rogue who is technically the heir to house birn, a relatively small house with very little influence. as the second child, she wasn't meant to inherit and as a result spent much of her life doing whatever she wanted. her parents didn't stop her when she became engaged to a ranger who was a relative nobody. however, the wedding never happened. he went on a journey and never returned, but no bodies were ever found; the party simply disappeared. she hoped for his return for several years, and in that time her older brother passed, which abruptly left raghnaid as the heir. her parents began pushing her into marriage for the sake of her house, and even arranged an engagement, which went somewhat sideways when she packed up and ran away on a quest to find her former love. raghnaid has been on the road for several years now, surviving on her wits (and petty thievery). what started as a quest to find her former fiance has become a life she truly enjoys, and it's becoming harder and harder to imagine returning to her responsibilities.
i'd imagine she has met quite a few people in the course of her travels, and at this point she has all but shed her status as nobility. anyone who has met her in the past few years wouldn't know for certain (even if they have their suspicions), and she avoids those she knew before. she has conned, stolen, and manipulated her way to survival, so i'm sure there are a few victims out there who'd love to see her arrested. allies, maybe? organic lines are probably better for her, but if anyone has ideas, throw them at me!
they're a little rough since i'm still hammering out the details with their surveys, but hopefully this is enough info to start working out some lines. i'm so excited to hopefully join you guys, and i can't wait to start playing.
