Red String of Fate (OOC) (OPEN) (Courting)

APP Snip

She's sure to be popular among the court, Accepted!

Helena's taken, but I saw no reason not to bring my other A game :p

[Kyrenaia]

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...

You may, if you have a puppet or alt you want to put an app up for.

I thought of Okunaratsuru.

Why? Worried about the age gap? ; )

[The Holy Solar Empire]

I see Eléonore's just dabbing on all of us puny MT earthdwellers with her gifts 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.

Eléonore has never encountered pagans and Muslims before, at least she never directly interacted with any.

That said, she wouldn't be overtly hostile, it would be a curiosity to her, but it would make for interesting interactions.

Yeah, that should definitely be fun.

Unless they look like children, no.

[The Frozen Forest]

You may, if you have a puppet or alt you want to put an app up for.

I thought of Okunaratsuru.

Bet. I like that idea so go for it if you'd like.

[Tohorin]

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!

Thanks!
...
I didn't actually think of the geopolitical ramifications before I applied her though, tbh. Yep, that prospect would definitely change Tohorin. Heh. Or Amina could find in Rairai another rival if the King wants to ship the Crown Prince off to a far-away backwater that's very sandy, which is irrelevant and post-Apocalyptic to boot.

[Fuso-]

I'm usually not party to exporting princesses but this looked interesting, yet I doubt Fuso will export one to a Catholic prince and country. Is it possible for me to send along Satoko Naishinnō just for the ball and the socialising?

You may of course send a Princess just for socializing. Looking forwards to your app if you decide to do so.

[The Holy Solar Empire]

Things are surely looking interesting so far.

[Kyrenaia]

Why? Worried about the age gap? ; )

Unless they look like children, no.

Oh, no, she will look like an adult.

I thought of Okunaratsuru.

Bet. I like that idea so go for it if you'd like.

Awesome. The app will come either later today or tomorrow, though. And, if you don't mind, I'll play both Amina and that Okunaratsuran from this account.

I would hardly call Kyrenaia post-apocalyptic, but I agree - more competition is always fun! : D

No sweat, you'll be able to play your Okunaratsuru and Amina through one nation.

On another note, I'm going to begin work on the IC tomorrow and it'll most likely be out sometime this coming week.

Sorry, I meant that Tohorin is post-apocalyptic. But Amina's rivals in that niche are going to decrease in numbers...

Hi again, Frozen Realm, I'm gonna have to ask for a last-minute adjustment; though I'm a little embarrassed to ask this, I request to cancel Rairai's application. If I continue on with using her, I'll have a hard time considering the events of this RP as canon. My original plan was to use a gold-digger non-magical succubus who sucks at her job (Rairai's mom, Selena), but then I realized that should Rairai or Selena lose they'd have actually needed a ride home and I had a hard time imagining how they'd get to the event to begin with, nor have I fleshed out their personalities well enough to feel comfortable playing with them. The "no-magic/no FT" can't be hand-waved away easily and I guess I was too excited to RP to think it through. A shame really, I'm sure a catgirl-demon-thing could've had fun interactions with Eléonore.

For a change, I offer a character that can actually canonically travel between the multiverse and potentially understand your country's geopolitics and technology better, so they should be more receptive to potential interactions. Unlike Rairai, I really don't have any hopes of them winning as they're rather homely looking compared to the other contenders, nor are they really physically adept. Them having a significant other aside, my next contender will absolutely get cold feet and try to repair their ship and escape back with their spacecraft should they actually get betrothed....if you're cool with it Frozen Forest, of course.

Also, my main character is an oblivious "communist" seeing as how they consider centralized planning to be the norm, so hey, that could lead to awkward funnies.

Yes, that was a cigarette. They're not a child, just a space-midget.

Name: Nova
Title(s): N/A
Nationality: Anhu
House/Family: "I belong to Air Fleet"
Family Crest:

(More like national seal than family crest)
Place of Birth: V-type asteroid #6792, near Outer Asteroid Belt


Age: 27, biologically.
Religion: None.
Languages Spoken: English, Spanish
Travel of Note: -US Airspace
- Mars Base
- Clavius Crater
- Manhattan

Personality:
Nova was a lot more brash and cocky in their youth, before the Roswell Crash humbled them. In general, many Earthlings attest that Nova can give off an air of being a bit smug, but the space-pilot's heart is in the right place as the Anhu adviser genuinely wants to teach. Like many pilots and instructors, Nova practices rigid to-the-book protocol yet also follows orders with improvisation, as a result they're very serious and formal in formal settings or work environments.

Off-hours, Nova is considerably different. They're incredibly chatty and curious about their surrounding and the people around them.

They may enjoy messing with people.

Likes: Watching TV, going out to bars and diners, Lucky Strike cigarettes, coffee with bagels, weenies with Mac 'N Cheese, Doo-Wop music, walking out because there's no such things as biomes in space.
Dislikes: Nova strongly dislikes it when people lie or say half-truths to them or when people try too hard to press them to reveal information; they were cross-interrogated for five years and such routines became tiring. As the space-pilot is surrounded by "lonely airmen who haven't seen a skirt for months on end" whom sometimes try to demonstrate their skills and talents to (possibly) woo them, Nova finds showing off too strongly to be incredibly off-putting.
Fears:
-Big dogs
-Making mistakes
Bio:
Born in 1929 to couple of miners in the Asteroid Belt, Nova spend most of her childhood in schools meant to filter people to their ideal jobs, as is customary in the Air Domain. Their hand-eye coordination abilities made them great candidates to work in Air Fleet as a pilot and Nova took to their new role with enthusiasm, as they liked the challenge of flying. The mix of outdated equipment and an unnecessary choice led to Nova and their crew crash-landing. In other words, Nova became the sole survivor of the now-mythic Roswell Crash.

Currently, the lowly Ensign has been "promoted" as the station head of the US Observation Group. Nova serves as a cultural attaché and technical adviser, working as a test pilot on behalf of the US Air Force as well as a sort of intermediary between US personnel and the Anhu staff near an undisclosed subterranean base currently under construction; they're also in charge of organizing filed reports of pilots elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere of planet Earth. The fact that a lowly junior officer is assigned to deal with the world's most powerful country speaks volumes about how lowly the Air Domain regards the nations of Earth. However as Nova is considered an "expert in all things American" by the Ruling Committee itself, the little pilot is responsible for shaping the Air Domain's policymakers' views of respecting the primitives' sovereignty, indirectly making Nova one of human history's largest power-brokers. In short, Nova's reports have probably indirectly led to the postponement of Earth's invasion.

During a routine test-run of a saucer donated to the US Armed Forces, Nova has once again become a focal point of an accident as she was accidentally transported to another dimension thanks to the misguided approach of an electrical technician that activated a device on a grounded spacecraft when he shouldn't have. Now Nova is in the world of Frozen Forest after a dimensional fold has transported them there. Now that Nova has learned of the Courting of King Ivan and Bestowed with incredible diplomatic powers from Air Fleet protocol, they'll considering themselves as an "Interesting Individual" as stipulated in the announcement made by His Majesty, King Ivan of the House Bjork; the pilot will legally represent their people abroad and participate in the tournament to gain information on this side of the multi-verse and strike up conversations to break diplomatic ice, even if the risks entail marriage. And while they're at it, Nova will try to find the components necessary to re-boot their saucer's navigation computer in order to go home: namely, gold and platinum.

For more information on Nova's life, see this factbook if you'd like.
What will you be bringing with you: Special Agent Alan "Al" Grimes, Nova's so-called chaperone on Earth...whom was inside the saucer when it made the jump across dimensions. Luckily Nova also had some spare clothing in a nearby suitcase with some toiletries and a half-eaten chocolate bar.
What gift will you be presenting to the King: A vessel from an Indian reservation, a laser in similar function to a Swiss Army Knife, powered by a diamond nuclear voltaic (DNV) battery that has a "lifetime warranty" of several thousands of years and specifications for an electromagnetic flying device.
Miscellaneous Information:
-I hope you don't mind me using "them" or "their" in singular form often when personally referring to Nova. When I wrote the character it was meant to emphasize how they didn't particularly adhere to 1950s values and traditional gender roles, as the Anhu are a bit flexible in those regards. However, neither I nor Nova (ICly) would care if they're referred to as a "she" by other characters IC or OOC. Their sex is still biologically female even if gender identity is a bit of a grey area for the aliens.
-Their skin is literally White.

[Kyrenaia]

No sweat, you'll be able to play your Okunaratsuru and Amina through one nation.

On another note, I'm going to begin work on the IC tomorrow and it'll most likely be out sometime this coming week.

Thanks.
As for the start of the IC, please keep in mind, that I might have trouble posting next week. Don't let that stop you, though.

I would hardly call Kyrenaia post-apocalyptic, but I agree - more competition is always fun! : D

Sorry, I meant that Tohorin is post-apocalyptic. But Amina's rivals in that niche are going to decrease in numbers...

[..]

Ah, that clears it up - though I am sad about the 'loss' of a competitor. Though I am sure, that Nova will be fun to interact with! : D

[The Holy Solar Empire]

Question, I have another idea for a potential suitor, assuming there's time there would be no problem filling a second one out would there?

[Kyrenaia]

See Wikia

Name:

Mari Ingansu.

Title(s):

With full title, she is: Marihime Ingansu (Princess Mari of the Ingansu-Family).

Nationality:

Okunaratsuran.

House/Family:

Ingansu-Family.

Family Crest:

N/A.

Place of Birth:

Tetshiro, near Misho.

Age:

566 years (by the standards of her people, she is a young whippersnapper).

Religion:

Bikuruto.

Languages Spoken:

Okunaratsuran.
English.
Kyrenaian.
Auwaltian.
Lutetiian.
Dousatellian.

Travel of Note:

From 1650 to 1780, she made a bit of a world tour.

Personality:

Mari is a graceful and poised woman, honest in word and deed, even to her detriment from time to time. While she can be gentle, especially with children, she is not gentle in general. While she has a charitable side, she also has a mean streak, especially when it comes to her pitch-black humour.

Likes:

- riding
- gardening
- music (listening, not playing).

Dislikes:

- war and fighting.
- people lacking humour
- flying aboard planes

Fears:

- war and fighting
- clowns

Bio:

See Wikia (still being worked on)

What will you be bringing with you:

Aside from the usual travelling supplies, Mari will have her close friend, confidant and bodyguard Hisa Kariken with her. Both will carry concealed daggers, while Hisa also carries a sword openly. I am unsure as to what sort of dress they will wear, though.

What gift will you be presenting to the King:

Nothing.

Miscellaneous Information:

Mari is a Migakemujara (see the fox ears) and has a bit of an age gap to Ivan (and, indeed, the majority of the participants, to my understanding).

[A m e n r i a]

So, when's the IC gonna be up?

[The Frozen Forest]

SNIP

While the warhawks probably won't like her, her dedication to more peaceful pursuits would likely endear her to the general public. Accepted! Just out of curiosity, would Mari even be capable of having children with a human? If so, would they be human or Migakemujara (or something in-between)

SNIP

So they'll be participating in the tournament? That's pretty interesting but there's no reason they can't. Accepted! Though I'm not totally sure what Ivan's gonna do with some of those gifts.

Question, I have another idea for a potential suitor, assuming there's time there would be no problem filling a second one out would there?

You are free to fill out a second App if you'd like.

So, when's the IC gonna be up?

Sometime this week, as I'm going to work on it later today and also do some planning related to each of the girls.


I'll update the attendance list in a few hours.

[...]

Awesome, thank you! Indeed, more hawkish people won't like her, but she knows war.
As for children, I haven't thought of that before. I'm going to say yes, but I will have to think about what it will be. Said child will certainly not have the longlivety of the Migakemujara, however.

[Fuso-]

Name: Eiraku-no-miya Satoko Naishinnō
Title(s): Imperial Highness Kaigun Daisa
Nationality: Fusōnese
House/Family: Yamato
Family Crest: Here
Place of Birth: Central Hospital of the Imperial Household Ministry, Kyōto

Age: 34
Religion: State Shintō
Languages Spoken: Japanese, Received Pronunciation
Travel of Note: Been around like, everywhere I think? Mostly with the navy and then the go to person for events like this?
Personality:

• Always with a pleasant façade outwards
• Workaholic
• Zero patience for stupidity, sycophancy and petty squabbles.
• Domineering
• Forceful at first, but kind on the inside

Likes: Sencha, reading, flying, clouds at a distance, sunshine, snow, winter, a starry night, kyūdō, Gilbert & Sullivan
Dislikes: Sycophants, scheming arseholes, rainy weather, Month of November
Fears: Sticking out in a crowd, whether by academic prowess or embarrassment
Bio: Eiraku-no-miya Satoko Naishinnō was born in the purple in early July 1987 as the second daughter to Prince Kōbuin Nobusuke and Princess Asako of Taka (the firstborn, fraternal twin Reiko would go on to become the Current Emperor). Satoko was assigned the appellation of Waka at birth and granted the title of Eiraku on her sixteenth birthday, after the Ming Dynasty Emperor. Educated at Gakushūin, the traditional institution for the Imperial Family and the peerage, Satoko led a relatively normal life for an Imperial Princess of high rank until her getting out of higher education. Instead of finding a spouse and settle down with life she enrolled in the Etajima Naval Academy as a cadet. At age 25 she graduated as a Midshipman of the Imperial Navy, in the middle of her class just as she intended. Four years of on and off service with the Witches of the Empire followed, including a stint in Cambridge where she acquired an unmistakable high-class accent to her already flawless English, and it is her command of the English language that made her the go-to person when the Imperial Ministry for Foreign Affairs wants to placate some foreign power.

What will you be bringing with you: A dress sword for the uniform to wear to the ball (OOC: Which I wish to pre-clear. :3)
What gift will you be presenting to the King: Gifts could be arranged if needs be.
Miscellaneous Information: OOC: Do note that Fusō exists in a verse where magic is prevalent, Satoko herself sports an ability to turn hearing into a rudimentary passive sonar of sorts that works a great ranges. I doubt this would be particularly needed in this rp.
