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

[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

Posted as well. I don't think our general will be very happy.

[Kyrenaia]

Eh, it's about 11 PM in this corner of the world and I'll introduce the other character I said would be accompanying Nova tomorrow or in the weekend, Mr. Grimes, their "chaperone" and the bane of their existence. In the meantime Nova will wait for Mari's reply.

Dang, I forgot your post... sorry, TSP. Reply will come up tonight.

[The Holy Solar Empire]

I'll get to my post in a bit, just need to eat dinner first.

Nice. A business card. I'll try to reply soon or tomorrow morning. Not feeling sleepy and I gotta work on an assignment. Heh.

I hope to have Eléonore meet Nova soon after she is done "interrogating" the Lunar King.

Yeah, the two FT representatives meeting each-other would turn heads. I suppose Nova should continue to buy a little more time with Mari and Kariken for another post or two for now. I'm guessing that everybody will eventually cross paths at some point or another in the ball.

[The Holy Solar Empire]

Oh God, I have never written huge dialogue moments before, first time trying, went over it a few times.

I hope I got Eléonore's message through, I had to restrain myself from writing a novel because the exact intricacies would take forever.

Woo, well nothing ventured nothing gained.

Eléonore will no doubt be interested to learn about Nova, maybe make a friend even.

Probably could have mentioned wanting to interact with nova at some point, tend to not organize that sort of thing too much in pic because I see it as metagaming

[Laka Strolistandiler]

Name: Lavinia Mac Gofraid
Title(s): Her Imperial Highness, Master of Engineering Arts, The Oathmaker of North Seas
Nationality: Lakan-Scottish
House/Family: Imperae Royal Family
Family Crest: WIP
Place of Birth: Utadeh General Hospital

Age: 27
Religion: Glyton
Languages Spoken: Lakan, Scottish, English, Lakan Native, Japanese
Travel of Note:
Personality:

The highest value for her is the family, as well as the moral ideals that he adheres to - patriotism, the desire to learn the world and loyalty. She considers the ideal of beauty ... the Gothic style (or rather, its analogue in their world). Strangely enough, but it is this architectural style that she considers the most beautiful - in other creatures, she primarily appreciates the mind and character. At the same time, she is disgusted by brutalism, ignorance, irrational selfishness and infidelity. She also has both very strict moral principles, which she can only give up in a state of passion in the face of death, and very taboo deeds, to which she even under the threat of death will not agree. This is rejection of one's faith, betrayal of relatives (adultery is also included here) and unreasonable, not out of protection of oneself or someone (or something) murder. She can be called quite honest, even too - sometimes due to the fact that she likes to tell the truth in her face, she has a very hard time. She condemns lies and believes that it can only be resorted to in the most extreme cases. Nevertheless, her honesty cannot be called boorish - she has an understanding when, instead of telling the truth, it is better to remain silent or change the topic of conversation. In her own words, she is a convinced believer, but it is difficult to attribute her to some confession - constant spiritual searches eventually led to the formation in her head of some very strange form of religion, somewhat reminiscent of the early currents of the IRL Lutheranism. She takes her beliefs with utmost seriousness, perhaps even going too far with this issue. From life she wants, first of all, the opportunity to live it righteously, to be useful for her relatives, friends and acquaintances and society as a whole. She also has a "main" reason to live - religion. For her, God is in the first place, which sometimes the members of her family felt on themselves. She is afraid of death, but rather because of fear of the Underworld, where she is afraid to go for her sins. Also, she really does not want to part with her family for an extremely long time, perhaps forever. In her opinion, death is the end of a person's path in the material plane of existence. According to her ideas, the soul and mind are transcendental, not belonging to our world concept. However, she can only guess what awaits her “on the other side”. The sight of a dead body will most likely make her want to immediately approach and check: whether the creature really died, the cause of death, an attempt to provide first aid, and so on. Although she is not easily frightened, her fears are quite common. Despite the rather great religiosity, it can be called romantic - if, of course, romanticism is understood as strictly a relationship or leading to marriage or occurring directly in marriage. She is quite optimistic and sometimes even encourages, in her religiously-traveled nature, those around her.
The opinion of others about her is quite important for her - she tries to maintain a respectful attitude towards herself. She is quite sociable and always open to company and new acquaintances. At the same time, she prefers to work and study alone. Her tolerance for others works according to a rather simple principle - "Respect the other and they will respect you." She is ready to endure and respect you and your opinion until that time, until you start offending her. It is uncharacteristic for her to divide people into “us” and “strangers” - rather, everything around her is just “others”. Nevertheless, she is characterized by some chauvinism - so she simply cannot stand criminals who do not work and, to some extent, representatives of the lumpen. It is ironic that at the same time, all the chauvinism in relation to their own race is perceived by her with hostility. She forgives minor offenses quite easily, but if you seriously spoil her life, she will remember this and try to take revenge sooner or later. Her revenge cannot be called terrible, but one can say with a certain degree of certainty that she did not become terrible because there is actually no one to take revenge, and for nothing.

Bio:

Lavinia mac Gofraid was born on 11th January, 2020 in Mattrak General Hospital. When she was a year old, after some testing and bioengineering she was proclaimed a likely heir to the throne. Lavinia began her education in 2023 when she entered pre-kindergarten in Dusit-city, Laka Strolistandiler. After completing seven grades, she was sent to be educated at independent schools in the United Federation, first at a prep school, where he completed his secondary education in July 2036. In August 2037, she attended a five-week military training course. In 2038, the princess enrolled at the Strolistandileri Central Aviation Academy. Her education at SCAA was divided into two parts, military training by the Federation Army and a specialist’s degree course under the auspices of the State. She graduated in 2040 as a junior lieutenant and served a standard half a year tour of duty in the Great War as a senior aircraft technician, getting wounded in action and being awarded a Federation Purple Heart. She was recalled home after The Computer’s coup d’etat happened, following her parents still uncovered death.

Immediatly after The Intelligent Circle tool power, UF started plotting to otherthrow the not-so-friendly regime, which often proclaimed directly anti-federation messages. Although it proved to be quite a challenge, they managed to infiltrate multiple facilities and temporarily force-shutdown most of The Circle, effectively creating a huge hole in nation’s cyber security system. This was actively used by loyalists as an example of Circle’s incompetence and irresponsibility, sparking massive pro-federation protests, led by Lavinia. This, coupled with aggressive Federal Buildup and Strategic Weapons Command effectively joining the protesters against their own goverment forced The Circle to resign, effectively ceding all power to the last royal alive- Queen Lavinia mac Godfraid.

Her reign is generally perceived by the people as an age of great relief. Lakan Ecomony is experiencing a great flow of money from the United Federation, which greatly increased the populace wealth. Her hard anti-lobbying and pro-working-Joe stance also helped her rise in the public view. But, perhaps, the main reason for her incredible popularity is her selflessness- she has an average income of 100.000 bucks, and gets little to no support from the taxpayer’s money. After all, why should she get it easy just for being born in the right time in the right place? Comically enough, she doesn’t even has a state security, having to protect herself instead.

What will you be bringing with you: Some usual traveling equipment, as well as blunt edge award epee and a bamboo stick because the weapons are banned
What gift will you be presenting to the King: A skin of a rare Lakan polar beast that she killed and skinned herself. Because hunting a deadly bear is easier than being something normal.

Miscellaneous Information: She is very stripped on cash and as such will try to save as much money on traveling as possible

SNIP

Very interesting character, especially since she doesn't have a security service of her own. I can see her easily charming the common people, though her honesty might have her at a disadvantage with other nobility like say, Sartana or Khana Amina. In any case welcome aboard, Accepted! Feel free to jump in and engage with any of the established characters.

Post will be incoming in just a bit.

This is the first time I do a detailed RP in a long time, so I'm very rusty, I haven't even heard of the term meta-gaming, I must admit.

I can try to make Nova's moves more spontaneous after parting with Kariken and Mari. Though that means they'd have to be less defensive. Nothing that a few glasses of liquor can't help.

[The United Anime Kingdoms]

Will be posting again soon.

The Frozen Forest, my character will be holding a conversation with Duke Ragnar Cederblom if that is alright.

There are servants walking about with trays of alcohol, including local specialties like Akafemiðr, Saefask and Vænn. Could be interesting for Nova to try some if she's interested.

Also, posted! Apologies for the wait, I expanded a bit on the post I was originally going to put up. Hope y'all enjoy the extra fluff on this one.

My apologies for butting in. According to Urban Dictionary, metagaming is "[w]hen game information outside of what is available in a game is used to give a player an advantage in-game."
For example, it would be, if Hisa and Mari knew, that Nova had not one personality inside of their head, but several.
If you want, our lassies can soon part ways.

Also, TFF - quite bold. ; )

Oh, it is very interesting.
I went ahead and had Amina respond first, preempting Brettenwald (sorry). And I had her reply in kind with the present she has for Ivan.
Let's see, where that goes. ; )

Sartana has a plan for Amina, which would also help with Asha. She'll probably get to that after she's finished with Melonie and when she hears about the gifts.

The faction alignments of various dukes, etc. are pretty well known, right?

For Dukes and Duchesses yes, given they are under a more focused microscope it's more difficult for them to conceal their tendencies and allies. Counts on the other hand, with the exception of more notorious ones like Count Arrun of Stallheim, that would require a bit more investigation to learn.

I'm starting to get the feeling, that this will be one of the consequences of her current trajecory...

Elly already gave someone a warning about her.

But every good story needs a villain

I see Sartana as Elly's polar opposite, a worthy rival.
