About the Event

The Gala Metiochidon is a high society event held annually on 19 December, the day and month on which the Metiochid Empire and its ruling dynasty was founded. It was organized by the Symposium for the Descendants of the Ancient House of Metiochus Callinicus, known by their shorthand name the Demetica, alongside the event's beneficiaries that originated from Pergamon and the Levantine Sultanate. It was first held in 1927, and was and still is noted to be one of the most extravagant festivals in the world. Among the Demetica, the present-day Metriadid dynasty, Pergamon's royal family, continue to remain the event's hosts.

Noted guests of the event include not only the Demetica and their beneficiaries, but noblemen, businesspeople, industrialists, academic professors, celebrities and military officers. The Gala presents a golden opportunity to mingle with guests of repute from this nation and other nations and form connections with them. This event also offers attendees the chance to explore and enjoy the knowledge and artifacts entailing a significant piece of history of which it commemorates.

Events of this year's Gala include historical reenactments, musical and dance performances, dancing by guests, and a fireworks show hosted on the triremes of the Agoparatriris event.

Hi, Selks! Glad to hear that you'll participate! To answer your questions:

There is no limit. As long as you can afford to RP them all.
I won't mind. In fact, it's more efficient that way, since your the owner of all those other accounts.
Black-tie suits and evening gowns are the convention for the event, even though there's no such reasons to disallow traditional costumes. Traditional jewels and accessories are welcome, however.

Wonderful. Wonderful on all accounts! However, before I start making fifteen dozen apps, I'll set myself a limit: Six.
Let's see, if I can stick to it. Or if I will be honest and say, when or if I will edit the line above... ; )

So I can narrow down my list of potential characters, would a military dress uniform be considered black-tie?

You can roleplay as many characters as you want, so long as you can afford to do it. And yes, it will be considered black-tie.

Pog.

Gala Metiochidon: RSVP

Name of attendee: Antioch Epiphan (Antiochus Epiphanes; OOC: Yes, I know it's very creative)

Honorifics: "Mister Apostle", then "sir" (Diarcesian Latin: "cyrius")

Postnomials (e.g., PhD, CBE, VC): None

Age: 46
Occupation: Diarcesian apostle (ambassador) to the Pergamonians
Country of origin: Diarcesia
Appearance: A 6' 4" tall, tan skinned man with soulless, hazel eyes, a softly shaped jaw and small lips, Antioch is bald and seems boring. Has a large burn on his right hand, and he has a medium-length goatee.
Culinary concerns: Antioch is a picky eater and considers foreign food "anarcesian" (i.e. barbaric), but he doesn't publicly share this information. However, he professes his partiality to the Palaeodiarcesian specialty of tewe steaks: a dish prepared with meat from "tewes", a species endemic to the Diarcesian mainland and served with rice.
Medical concerns: None

---------------

OOC-Section
RP-Sample: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=519195

Notes: Antioch is unmarried and does not have any children. Since his appointment as an ambassador to Pergamon, he has been working on making connections with influential people in the region, including members of government.

Name of attendee: Pimen of Arkess (Pimenes de Arcesius)

Honorifics: "Archon", then "sir"

Postnomials (e.g., PhD, CBE, VC):

Age: 66
Occupation: Hereditary archon of the dieresis of Arcesia (leader the top-level administrative division that contains the Monarchy's capital) and head of the House of Arkess.
Country of origin: Diarcesia
Appearance: A tall and underweight, black skinned man with dark brown eyes, small ears, thin lips and a straight nose. He has straight, black but greying hair, seems unsettling, has a perfectly shaped moustache that is a shade lighter than his hair, and he has wide hips, and a thin neck.
Culinary concerns: Pimen has a taste for spicy food, but he is afraid of being seen as barbaric and so will not eat it in the presence of foreigners.
Medical concerns: Pimen suffers from a hereditary heart condition. This is not considered life-threatening, but requires him to avoid physical exertion such as long walks and strenuous exercise.
---------------

OOC-Section
RP-Sample: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=519195

Notes: Pimen is the grandson of Monarch Diarcesian Orell on his mother's side, but he also has confirmed descent from the First Monarch. He was born with a heart defect and so his parents were keen to keep him away from stressful situations that could lead to a heart attack. This meant that he was never sent to public school and given responsibilities like most other Diarcesian children, but instead lived in the shadow of his father's brother and stayed at home doing little more than receive education from his tutors when he was young. As such, he has an inferiority complex about his position as Archon compared to those who earned their station by sheer merit.

Name of attendee: Camilla of Arkess and Chester (Camilla de Arcesius cae Castrum)

Age: 76
Occupation: One of the board directors of a major shoemaking company
Country of origin: Diarcesia
Appearance: A short and diminutive, dark skinned woman with dark brown eyes, neat eyebrows, an oval face, defined cheekbones and large ears. She has straight, grey (used to be brown) hair, has a birthmark on her upper back, wears complimentary eyeshadow, and she has a winning smile.
Culinary concerns: Diarcesian cuisine is generally suitable
Medical concerns: None

RP-Sample: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=519195

Notes: Madam Camilla of Arkess and Chester (maiden name: Camilla Chester) is descended from an old noble family. Her ancestors moved to the Diarcesian mainland after the fall of their nation in 1815 and she continues to uses her ancestral surname in addition to her husband's as a memory to their old country. She has been a longtime supporter of Abroad-Free Zone (AFZ) rights (free economic zones for foreign enterprises) and is a patron to many charitable organizations.

I apologize for the RSVP code's output. I wondered why it looked that way when viewing the RSVPs of Diarcesia and Brettenwald, and I found out that I put the closing "box" tag in between the RP-Sample and Notes fields. This has been fixed as of now.
