Whoa, this is rebooted? Awesome! I assume the last thread becomes non-canon? In that case, it's better because that was before many big retcons for Amenria. Also, I mentioned you specifying humans only? Does that mean hybrids between humans and something else is out?

Yup! I've been RPing and talking with Camelone and i'm actually doing a major rewrite for the Frozen Forest, so i figured now would be a good time to finally find a wife for Ivan.

The last thread does in fact become non-canon. Regarding hybrids, i'm curious as to what you have in mind. The main rule of thumb is that people shouldn't be horrified when they see it, it has to be capable of procreating with Ivan and it has to be humanoid. Something like an Elf or a Vampire or "Dragonfolk" etc would be fine, something like an Xenomorph, Dragon, Angels etc would not.

@Everyone else: Glad to see everyone got right into writing-i've been gone a few days at a Camp, i'm back now so i'll read through the IC and make a post tonight or tomorrow morning.

Notice how I linked you to the "C" section of the factbook? I was thinking of apping a Starchild! :D

Whether Ivan accepts or rejects her in the end, I have ideas as to where the plot would go, if you'd be willing to invest in such time and effort.

I've thought about it and i think a Starchild would be alright, at least in concept. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Name: Ceit Ui-Sgaire
Title(s): Lady
Nationality: Camelonean
House/Family: House Ui-Sgaire
Family Crest: Tri-parted with two at the top and a central bottom one. Gold is bottom, the right is white, and the left is red. In the red sits a gold chalice, in the white a cross, and the gold has a white heart.
Place of Birth: Balcolm, County of Mide, High Kingdom of Camelone

Age: 24
Religion: Apostolic Catholic
Languages Spoken: Camelonean Gaelic, Latin, English, and heavily accented Frozen Forestian
Travel of Note: None really, she has only truly traveled within Camelone.
Personality: Ceit is an idealist, and some would say a rather naive young woman, who places much stock in romantic and chivalric ideas. She has a kind heart and is deeply faithful to the teachings of the Apostolic Church, some would even say the stereotype of the average Camelonean lady. She is also rather shy, bashful, and a little timid when it comes to her social skills but despite this she has a backbone when it comes to her beliefs or when she is ticked off enough.
Likes: Horseback riding, archery, simple food, singing, dancing, and simple joy of life
Dislikes: Spicy foods, rudeness, blasphemy, large groupings of people, and excesses
Fears: A return to the chaos of the Age of Revolution or the Raven Insurrection, and being forgotten.
Bio: Ceit was not born to a noble family of any real note, just simply a house of knights who were just above the average yeoman in terms of wealth and social standing. Born the third of a eight children her early life was filled with the simple joys and merriment of a comfortable rural upbringing. She was educated and raised as your average Camelonean noble lady would be, given a classical Christian education at the Parish school focusing on the liberal arts and gaining a functional understanding of the hard sciences. She was reading and reciting the Greek and Roman philosophers as well as the Patristic, Desert, and Camelonean Fathers by the age of 13. She had not really traveled all that much outside of her little bubble of a county except for a few local pilgrimages, balls, and eventually when she went off to university for a little bit.

At university she excelled in her studies and just kind of fit in, nothing really of note there except that she had contemplated joining a religious order and was a member of the university's choir and band. Studying philosophy and accounting she felt well prepared to take up her role as a wife of the house once she found the man that she would marry. Though her mind changed of who that might be when she caught sight of Ivan at the Royal baptism of her High King's children. She was smitten but couldn't bring herself to speak to him, instead upon hearing of his search she decided to attempt to win his heart with eventually convincing her father to send her. While low on funds they were able to scrap things together and now she is on her way.
What will you be bringing with you: Both normal and formal clothing, a flute, a violin, a Breviary, and a small icon of Christ
Miscellaneous Information: None that I can think of at the moment.

Didn't expect to get sidelined so quickly after telling you of my idea. Here is what I have so far and I'll try to get it finished before the day is done.

Name: Yali (雅理)
Title(s): Baroness, Lord of Metal Gauntlet (formerly)
Nationality: Amenrian
House/Family: Ramadhan Family
Family Crest:
Image
Place of Birth: Imperial Harem, South Asia

Age: 21
Religion: Sunni Islam
Languages Spoken: Chinese (native), English (fluent), Indonesian (fluent)
Travel of Note: None recently, been to various places in past missions
Personality: Contrary to her name, Yali is an impulsive, hot-blooded tomboy. She's also a mood booster and is excellent at raising morale.
Likes: Eating, dueling, exercising
Dislikes: Staying still, cowards
Fears: Bugs, especially the ones that fly.
Bio: Daughter of Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa and a human concubine from Guangdong, born in 2026.

As a superhero, she is a member of the Starchild Sorority with twelve of her siblings. In particular, she's often teamed up with Jewel and Superstar (both are codenames), because the latter can turn durable enough to handle Yali and Superstar's dangerous powers with little to no damage.

What will you be bringing with you: Clothes, phone, combat gloves.
Miscellaneous Information: It's 2047 in our timeline, hence her age.


So, since things have kicked off a bit deep, where should I start?

Hate to say this just as things are ramping up, but I'm not sure I'll be able to post much over the weekend, as I'm leaving on a trip tonight. I should hopefully be able to post a response to Ivan's arrival sometime after I get to where I'm going, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do beyond that till Monday. Some people are just so inconsiderate about when they get married, never even TRIED to sync up with my RPing.

Just a heads up-I'm thinking that after Ivan and the girls have all met that we could begin Dinner-Ivan's family will be present and i'll try and engage everyone at the same time. I'll probably have Ivan meet Noretias's character last (Unless Amenria and Camelone finish their apps + Post) If there are any objections to this plan, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Ivan is meeting the girls in the old war room. Just have your character enter and maybe talk to the other girls until he gets to her.

You aren't too late and the app looks good apart from two little gripes. There isn't a space between the colon (:) and your information for a lot of App's components. Just space those out and finish your finish your Family Crest and you'll be good to start.

I don't want to complain after my first post, but I must say, I find it not cool that Ivan can detect Penelope's "fake" smile. Further more, to compare it to that of a psychopath and a jester. First of all, Penelope is a very good actress, and study's show that most people, not just professionals can produce a real looking smile. Second, your description conflicts with mine as well as with yours. I described her smile as charming, which you interpret as super-confident. There is also no class of smile exclusive to actors, psychopaths and jesters. All three groups use a variety of smiles. For jesters there is a stereotypical smile which is exaggerated and and exaggerated smiles are often used by other performers, such as stage actors, but such a smile can not be described as charming IMHO. As far as psychopaths they are good at faking emotions, IRL, but the stereotypical psychopath smile might be called a evil smile. The intersection of psychopath and jester of course is the Joker from Batman. Are you suggesting she is smiling like the Joker?

Also, if Ivan was a super reader of facial expressions, he would have been more likely to detect nervousness, and neither confidence nor fakeness.

Hmmm, maybe I am over thinking this...

I think that you are overthinking this. Ivan has been around the world and met a lot of people, and whether Penelope's smile is fake or not doesn't matter-it's just how Ivan sees it. A lot of it is really about his perspective. Relating to smiling-Ivan knows that all three groups are capable of convincingly smiling in a fake sort of way and he's relating that knowledge.

Anyways, i'll be working on a post tonight so it should be up soon.

Family Crest:
Image

Place of Birth: Novenville, Rivienland

Age: 29
Religion: Roman Catholicism
Languages Spoken: French, and Dutch
Travel of Note: Has done two trips to both Belgium and France respectively.
Personality: Princess Elisa of Rivienland is known throughout the Grand Duchy for her warm personality, and active social life. Whether it be exploring the forests of Ladonia, or gracing the ballrooms of Rivienland with her stylish dresses and dance moves, Princess Elisa is always on the move. Alongside her bustling social life, the Princess is also a trained violist, and horse rider. Her only scandal was being associated with her appearance at several wilder parties hosted by younger aristocrats in her early twenties.
Likes: Opera, Riding Bella, Fruit tarts, Wine, and the Viennese Waltz
Dislikes: Silence, People who cannot keep a conversation going, Plaid, and Butterflies
Fears: Burning herself, and Socialism
Bio: Born on June 19th, 1990, Princess Elisa of Rivienland is the oldest daughter of Grand Duke Joseph I and Grand Duchess Louise. Quickly from a young age, realizing her privilege and wealth, Princess Elisa learned the ways of the Grand Ducal Palace to become a prominent socialite. Most of her education was done within Rivienland. At the age of eight she began to learn to ride horses, and current rides a Friesian horse named Bella. Princess Elisa also learned the viola while in primary school. Eventually, she attended the University of Rivienland, and decided to major in Communications. Generally not one to be involved in politics, she once again focused on her studies, and extracurricular activities. Besides being in the University Orchestra, the Princess also was the president of both the Ballroom Dance Organization, and the Honors Society.

Coming to the Frozen Forest, Princess Elisa, like Crown Prince Ivan, is being pressured by her family to wed soon. She is excited for the opportunity to travel more, and desires to see more of the world before marriage. While not opposed to marrying a foreigner, Princess Elisa is still hesitant to change her socialite lifestyle to become a mother.

What will you be bringing with you: Three suitcases containing both formal and informal attire, a suitcase of shoes, a lockbox of jewelry, several books, her viola, a case of Rivienlander wine, her personal bodyguard, Adam Thys, and her personal maid, Lucie Dumont.

Happy to say that you are Accepted! Not sure if this was intended or not, but i noticed that the colors of her Family Crest and her clothing are nearly the same. Anyways, feel free to post on the IC. Ivan and the rest of the girls are finishing first impressions in an old war room. Elisa could jump right in there, or as dinner is starting. Either would be fine.
