Beaches in paticular or sand in general? If the latter, he's going to love Amina - considering hers is a Khanate in a desert... ; )
Be that as it may be, Ari sounds like an interesting person, especially as far as the competition to Ivan is concerned. I could very well imagine, that Ivan would love to marry him off to some country far, far away simply to destroy his influence.

I can't see Ari and Amina being too fond of each other for a lot of reasons, the fact that she's from a desert won't help. Ari isn't fond of sand in general.

Correct! The struggle for influence is actually a major factor in Ivan's decision to start looking for debutantes. He's survived dozens of assassination attempts since he became King, some thought to even have been planned by allies of Ari, which makes sense since Ari directly stands to benefit if Ivan were to die. Ari is a naturally ambitious individual and much of the nobility and government have privately switched their allegiance to him, thinking Ivan won't produce an heir.

A major concern for many nobles is being left on the outside if a succession were to happen. If Ivan were to pass suddenly and Ari were to become King, Ari would purge individuals loyal to Ivan and replace them with his own supporters. Ivan knows that marrying Ari off is playing with fire because while it would destroy Ari's influence domestically it could also backfire and give Ari a strong foreign ally that he could leverage later on.

Ari on the other hand is aware of his brothers maneuvering and is doing his own, which may come into play later in Red String of Fate. One way or another the results of this event could result in a decisive win or loss for either brother so the stakes are high, not just for the brothers but also the many loyalists and opportunists supporting them.

Either is totally fine and I have no particular preference, but I do want to point out that if she does decide to wear her helmet (any sort) at the ball she'll look out of place.

She'll carry it either way, I think.

Hi there OP, I'm interested in joining the RP but I am undecided if I should use my main character for this RP or another one from a puppet. How much longer will applications remain open? Just to have a heads up and maybe make up my mind.

Signups will remain open till the RP starts, or we have a around 6 or 7 debutantes. I’d say we’ll be starting next weekend at the latest.

Well, if everything else fails, Amina and Marla will have a nice vacation. ; )

That is a very interesting dynamic between the two. A bit of competition never hurt, but this sounds like it might become a bit bloody. In how far is that known to the public - read, what are the chances of our Princesses or their nations knowing of the power-struggle in the making?

Hey, could I bring a bodyguard and lady's maid anyway? I know you're already providing the former and assume you're providing the latter, but it's just standard operating procedure.

EDIT: Oh, and how would you feel about me just kind of handwaving a Brettain embassy in Truvaria into existence? It'll just make the IC logistics of security, transport, etc. easier for me.

It's reasonable that foreign governments could pick up on the general uptick in certain behaviors from the brothers that would indicate political maneuvering against each other. Monarchies with a primogeniture succession system should be more than familiar with this sort of situation and would be able to easily discern what is going on. I think in regards to Kyrenaia in general and Amina in particular that it's possible for them to have an idea that some sort of internal power struggle is taking place.

You're character may bring along a bodyguard and maid (your bodyguard may be armed with a service pistol). As for an embassy I can't see any reason to say no, so that's fine.

In terms of firearms, only a pistol that can be concealed. In terms of non-firearms swords are permitted so long as they are sheathed. Is that what you had in mind?

Hello, Frozen Forest. It's me, the Saucer Pilots. BTW, my main nation is Las Palmeras if you ever want to contact me with TGs, even if I'll be using this nation for the RP.


Name: Rairai of Sunrise Plains
Title(s): N/A
Nationality: Tohorinese
House/Family: Lesser Tohatshi Clan
Family Crest: Here
Place of Birth: Sunrise Plains (Somewhere around the New Mexico-Oklahoma-Texas border)

Age: 32
Religion: Tohorinese Pantheism/Animism
Languages Spoken: English/Tohorinese
Travel of Note:
-Tohatshi Pass
-Northern Frontier(New Mexico badlands and wilderness)
-The Southern Coasts (Sinaloa)
-Los Angeles

Personality:
-Taciturn
-Stubborn
-Blunt
-Serious on the job
-Is a softie, deep down

Likes: Sleeping, rocking chairs, desserts, pancakes, swimming and gold.
Dislikes: Betrayal and dishonesty, people who question her intelligence.
Fears:
-Has social anxiety. She's slightly uncomfortable of being watched and judged by others.
-Red syrup. (Reminds her of her own blood)

Bio:
Law (wo)man and bounty hunter by accident, extremely adept on purpose. Once known as Montserrat, the biological daughter of Selena, a demi-human priestess from the Dutchy of New Lyon, but she was separated from her mother since infancy and instead raised by the Tohorinese, regarded as bellicose desert-dwelling semi-barbarians of the Badlands and the mountain ranges by their neighbors, though in their own opinion, they're just defending their homeland from encroaching invaders. Specifically, Rairai was "adopted" by Kashin of the Lesser Tohatshi Clan. As a non-Tohorinese (not a nekomimi), she was expected to be the clan's representative to foreigners and was even taught English in a missionary school, along with some basic algebra.

After Rairai was conscripted in the farily-recent Federal Army and turned out to be a bad soldier, her life took a turn to another direction and was eventually appointed as the Clan's officer by the Department of Public Safety, pushed to a more de-centralized line of work by her superiors. Though Rairai was somewhat unsure over what her job would be, she eventually rose up in ability and acclaim. As a result, Rairai is best known for her confrontations with enemy agents/warriors from the northern monarchies; she's motivated by a mix of individualistic monetary gains, antiquated ethos related to her clan's well-being and honor and the rough conceptualizations of what it means to be loyal to her country...even if the State isn't the family and clan she's fiercely loyal to.

Rairai has proven herself as a great warrior and an apt bounty hunter countless times and has embodied the living ideal of the Solar Goddess Tohorin, patron deity and mother of the Tohorinese, slayer of foreign gods, destroyer of invaders. But she is losing her edge on her violent career after years of injuries. As bearing children is just as important in the cyclical view of death, life and renewal (and is itself considered a battle on its own) of Tohorinese culture, Rairai wonders if the time has come to fulfill the other aspect of the Sun Goddess' personality. And also because it might lead to a higher position of status in the Tohatshi clan if she were to become a mother. Oh and maybe because the Kingdom of The Frozen Forest might sell Tohorin newer trains or faster guns.

TL;DR: Rule 63'd Wyatt Earp, raised by fantasy counterpart catgirls Indians. Wants to be a mommy because that gives them the right to be a tribal leader in a state-wide area. Or maybe not. They honestly don't know, it could just be a midlife adulthood crisis.

What will you be bringing with you: Her favorite poncho, a fancy felt sombrero, a toothbrush, a suitcase with clothing she may change once every two days.
What gift will you be presenting to the King: A luxurious vessel, piñon nuts to make coffee, a golden nugget and an old badge.
Miscellaneous Information:
No, she won't bring a weapon, obviously. The character is a gunslinger so I just drew them that way.
For more information on her, visit this factbook. It's still a WIP, but it covers her life and career sufficiently.
I hope scars aren't a deal-breaker for the King, because hoo-boy, does Rairai have a lot of those.

PS: If you're okay with it, I might sign up another character to be Rairai's rival so the two can act awkward around each-other, but that might not be until tomorrow. I'll probably try to find a way to justify her magically travelling to your Kingdom while I'm at it but considering Tohorin is a deranged isekai...eh.

Name: Anne-Euphrasie Blondeau Suoh Elric
Title(s): Princess
Nationality: Animese
House/Family: House of Elric
Family Crest:
Image
Place of Birth: Imperial Hospital No. 212, Sommersan, Theateria Province, UAK

Age: 25
Religion: Catholic
Languages Spoken: Japanese, French, English
Travel of Note: Has only been around the UAK.
Personality: kind, caring, motherly. Rarely expresses anger. Fiercely loyal to the ones she loves.
Likes: Reading, humble surroundings, piano, horseback-riding, happiness, charitable actions
Dislikes: debauchery, sadness, poverty
Fears: abuse
Bio:

An illegitimate child of a grisette and a rich student that abandoned her and her mother, she was left in the care of an innkeeper and his wife as her mother left to find work during the great recession of the UAK. The province was hit the hardest and money was extremely tight. The wife of the innkeeper abused her in her primary years. She was not given an education, was given meager meals, and wore nothing but rags. She hasn’t heard from her mother since the last time she saw her. What people in the province did know was that the mother died of tuberculosis.

It wasn’t until Prince Tamaki Suoh Elric and Princess Haruhi Fujioka were touring the province as a sign of goodwill to the people. The couple were staying in the inn where they found the child, asked where her parents were and when given the answer that they don’t know, they made the royal decree to adopt the young girl under their wings. (It is family policy decreed by the Immortal Emperor Edward Elric that adopting a child was acceptable).

Once adopted, she was given proper meals, proper clothing, and most importantly an education. Though the state religion is Yaoicon, given the province she once inhabited, she is a practicing Catholic. As she grew older, she is now a proper lady of royalty and continues to be kind and caring to others, going around the UAK on charitable acts. Though she has grown up in the lavish luxury of the Imperial Palace, she does appreciate some of the simpler and humbler things in life. She has become interested in literature, piano music, and she is known for adventuring out of her comfort zone with horseback riding.

With the letter of invitation, Emperor Edward Elric thought it would be a good idea for one of his grandchildren to marry into another royal family to create an alliance between the two nations to secure allies.

What will you be bringing with you: N/A
What gift will you be presenting to the King: A mini Sakura tree

Name:
Asha Lisanne Cärrino
Title(s):
Princess of the Empire, Duchess of Marinhal & Berkenholm (she prefers to simply go by Princess, though, not out of pure snobbery but rather that Duchess makes her feel like an old woman.)
Nationality:
Brettain
House/Family:
House Cärrino, member of the royal family
Family Crest:
She's eschewed the royal colors for her mother's Kaynor blue and green. Most princesses keep their maternal line's crest except for Helena, who uses both.
Image

Place of Birth:
Imperial Palace medical wing, Aurinel, Harthvald Province, Brettenwald

Age:
23 (born 12/17/97)
Religion:
Adherent to the pagan church, though her temple attendance is best described as sporadic.
Languages Spoken:
Apart from her mother tongue of Brettain, she's fluent in English & French and conversational in German & Italian.
Travel of Note:
Not much abroad beyond a sort of grand tour of continental Europe, though she has traveled fairly extensively within the Empire.
Personality:
Asha is not your average princess. She can smile prettily and wave and dance with aristocratic young men and make polite conversation over tea with the best of them, of course, but she's a bit of a free spirit and enjoys physical, outdoorsy activities over being cooped up inside. On a personal level, she is a warm, friendly, levelheaded young lady with the ability to think on her feet, though she can chafe a bit at extreme formality and has a little weakness for gossip. Additionally, being 6' tall and having the kind of looks men used to go to war over has made her a little self-conscious and she occasionally feels bad for showing other young ladies up because of it.
Likes:
Cats, dogs, reading & writing (especially poetry), listening to classical and folk music, photography, gardening, hiking, stargazing, archery, and hunting & fishing but only if all the spoils are going to be eaten or used for some practical purpose, she's not big on killing just to kill.
Dislikes:
People with no indoor voice, braggarts, disorganization, littering, being patronized on the basis of womanhood.
Fears:
Spiders, small spaces, bats, needles.
Bio:
Born in 1997 as the younger daughter of HM the Emperor's younger brother Prince Henrik and his wife Princess Consort Layla, Asha comes from the bluest blood you can find in the Empire. Initially a shy and reserved child, she achieved high marks through primary, secondary and tertiary school (attending the Teryn Ladies' Academy for her tertiary education, an extremely prestigious boarding school), eventually blossoming into a vivacious and socially active young woman. She had something of a sporting career while at TLA, joining the track and archery teams and being reliably competent though not outstanding at the former and excelling at the latter. Her father's military background was influential in her upbringing as he insisted that his daughters attend public institutions for the first two stages of their academic career in order to break down their social barriers like the service broke down his, but though her sister merely got even more conceited and uptight the experience left Asha with a more empathetic and class-conscious societal outlook than one might expect from a princess. University was a resounding success as well, obtaining a bachelor's degree in environmental science from Temku University and graduating summa cum laude in December 2019. She is currently in the process of earning her master's degree, however Temku U. is aware that its royal students often require increased flexibility in their academic calendars, thus allowing her the time commitment for this endeavor.
What will you be bringing with you:
The requisite travel stuff, of course, along with her loyal bodyguard Sandor Heyling and lady's maid Elinor Miran (both of whom I don't expect to do much with but figured I'd mention anyway.)
What gift will you be presenting to the King:
A handcrafted einlehta blade, a one-handed style typically used as a sort of concealed-carry sword by Imperial Guard agents in centuries past. This may be the Rolls-Royce of the breed compared to the plain, brutal efficiency of your average example, but His Majesty can rest assured it'll still hold its own if used in anger.
Miscellaneous Information:
Nothing comes to mind right now.

Bio: Princess Eléonore was born on June 9th, 4502 AD in the medical ward of the Palais de Châlons. One of several daughters of the prominent Archduke, Marian D'Aboville; Young Eléonore was raised in a loving and fairly large family within the Archduchy of Châlons-en-Astra, a fairly old, near ancient realm within the Imperial interior. Eléonore spent a large chunk of her childhood learning the proper conduct of a young lady, with the expectations of eventual marriage to secure an alliance of some sort or another. Not all of the activities pushed upon her took hold, and she would spend a lot of time rough housing with her older brothers, taking to enjoying a good jog or sprint to get her blood pumping, something which was fairly tolerated due to her seemingly endless supply of jubilant energy. When she was 16 years of age, she joined her eldest siblings to partake in a pilgrimage to the Heavenly Sol, the star of which God crafted mankind. This pilgrimage included visiting the Universal Capital, the cosmopolitan seat of the Empire, as well as the various Christian Holy Sites on Earth. Eléonore's natural aptitude for approaching new people and making friends has broadened her horizons, during her travels, the friendships forged had sparked within her a love for music, and a desire to learn to play the guitar.

What will you be bringing with you: Beyond minor traveling requirements and some personnel belongings, her bodyguard, Ser Léopold Guillaume will be coming along as is customary.
What gift will you be presenting to the King: A few things, firstly she will bring a precious gemstone from Châlons Majeur which not only looks pretty, but also can act as a localized battery. As well she will bring an old powered longsword that was claimed by one of her ancestors enemies during a war, it would make the most precious artifact for your majesty. Finally, while it probably won't be present immediately, she is trying to acquisition an old star yacht for the Kings use, but thats running into some problems, but thats a maybe, she promises she'll give it to you regardless of how things turn out!
Miscellaneous Information:


I can add more to her bio, i do have more I can add, it's just as of writing my back is killing me, so if it seems a bit short, thats why.

I see Eléonore's just dabbing on all of us puny MT earthdwellers with her gifts :p On a serious note, though, I'd be interested to know how Asha's paganism and Yali's adherence to Islam are going to go down with her given that your nation's kinda space!Deus Vult and all that.

wait could irene count as a bodyguard

Yes actually, so if she wants to bring along a service pistol or sword she may.

I almost forgot you were a future tech civilization. Super cool lore and character, Accepted!
Where do you even park a Star Yacht?

Images were good (well-drawn actually, nice!) and the scars aren't trouble at all. I should point out that if she does succeed with Ivan that it would be considered a marriage alliance between The Frozen Forest and Lesser Tohatshi Clan, which means that the clan would receive massive amounts of weaponry and supplies to help survive and prosper. With all that said, Accepted!

Well i have something new to watch when i have some time. She seems like she's pretty humble, Accepted!

I see, that Amina has her competition cut out for her - including a stellar empire, apparently. If we are going to mix tech levels, I am almost tempted...
