Treyburn - Cousins Now Open! (Family/War Drama)

[Ivory]

She has decided not to be a Treyburn!

That's just the way she rolls~

Nooooooooooooo D:

Nooooooooooooo D:

oh but you can always join me with any one of my number of available characters <3
I has so many!
The possibilities are endless! <3

[Vivi]

Working on the profile for my Treyburn character finally (who, by the way, I will be calling Oscar), and I was just thinking... Shall I throw a spanner in the works by making him the mage sibling? From what I've seen, there isn't one at the moment.

I don't know... Might be interesting?

[Brisinger987]

That would be interesting...

[Ivory]

Hey Viv!
Don't feel pressured to fill a certain role in the family - play something you want to play!  If you do want to play a mage, that's okay...  It will certainly allow you to RP in certain threads and certain ideas, however, your character will fast become Wanted within Connlaoth and will be faced with being hunted, possible deportation to the camps, etc.  It all makes for good drama, but those themes can be very heavy and hard to play out!

Plus, I reserved the last Treyburn to use for plot purposes, so we will definitely have a mage if you choose not to play one!  If you do choose to play a mage, that is completely fine too!  And that other Treyburn character can be used in plots and schemes!

[Vivi]

Hmm. Actually, when you put it that way... Don't get me wrong, I'm genuinely keen on playing a mage, but thinking about his personality something so heavy might just eat poor Oscar alive. I'll probably leave him as-is then, and create a mage character next time. All the heavy stuff would be better for a slightly tougher character, and it'd be nice to spend more time around the Treyburn's.

So let the other Treyburn have that job. Oscar's probably going to sympathise anyway.

[Ivory]

Yeeeeah, poor Oscar!  :)  I had the general idea of what you wanted to play, which is the only reason I brought it up in the first place!  No worries!

That being said, if you know anyone else wanting to play a Treyburn, we can always use friends of the family, cousins, and some of the mini-Treyburns (kids of PCs!)  :D  Any of them could, also, potentially be mages!

[Vivi]

Yeah, good call. :P

Speaking of which: Oscar Treyburn is done!

2-3 word description:

Kind-hearted Scholar.

Views on magic:

Oscar feels that the war is completely unnecessary, and sympathises with the mages. He's always considered magic just to be another interesting fact of life, and doesn't think that anyone should be treated the way those poor people are. He is disgusted that mages are being rounded up and slandered, but fear for his family keeps him from being too loud.

[Ivory]

Oscar is awesome!  <3

One question, though.  Did you mean astrology or astronomy?  I'm nit-picking!  :P  Actually, the only reason I ask is that astrology could seem...magicky, to a degree!...and so now I am curious!  (lawls, I had to google the definitions to make sure I was thinking of the right one!)

[Vivi]

Thank you! <3

Whoops! I meant astronomy. I always get them mixed up. I'll change that now!

Are any siblings feeling up to comforting Janette? I'm going to have her go through a traumatic experience, very heavy themes, mainly revolving around the emotional aftermath of a rape. Only the aftermath, her emotional distress, and her trauma.

If any sisters do feel they can handle this task, and if any rpers are feeling brave enough to deal with it, I'm open to suggestions! If there are no takers, I'll assume she represses it with amnesiac potions.

Not for the faint hearted.

NOTE: I will NOT be playing out the rape, not even in flashbacks, just her emotions.

[Ivory]

Those words are so hard!  :)

Feel free to have Oscar join the fray in the Pre-Ball Shenanigans Thread or join any other open threads throughout Connlaoth -- like the Ball, to which he would be invited and, possibly, even emotionally blackmailed into attending by his mother!

I'm...honestly not so sure Cherie would be good at that...  Oh, she would try, and she would probably decide to go shoot the bastard afterwards, but...  Emotionally, she's ill-equipped herself to process that!

[Vivi]

Oh, he's definitely going to be press-ganged into it by his mother. I'll post in the Ball plotting thread and then join the pre-ball shenanigans!

If Cherie wants to try, she's more than welcome to! Janette would be pretty obvious about something being up. Being quiet, not even joking, not smiling at pranks, hiding away in her room, with the loud sounds of crying, that sort of thing.

And when Janette is half okay emotionally, she's gonna make her first kill. Although her emotional distress over her first kill will be a different, later topic.

But if you want Ivory, and if Cherie feels she can try? Maybe multiple family members can get involved! I'm open to all ideas and suggestions guys!

I don't know...  I would love to help you out, but Cherie is pretty delicate, and that's pretty dark stuff.  I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I want to change her character that dramatically.  She was designed to be a light, airy character...

[zozee9]

Same with Illi. She probs reads about that kind of stuff, but I doubt she could handle it in reality.

However, if you want dark and intense, Jana is always an option... But then the problem becomes when they would talk to each other.

Also, does anyone have any ideas for what Jana could dress up as? Something that wouldn't make her stand out too much... and preferably would be at least somewhat easy to move in. It also needs to cover up enough of her (the mask will help) so that she wouldn't be recognizable from the posters. :3

[Ivory]

Is she going as a boy or a girl, Zee?

[Brisinger987]

That's fair enough! I can respect that :)

Any tougher, harder skinned Treyburns who are gonna avoid Janette stealing to repress her memory?

Even Jana would know that something was severely wrong with Janette if she wasn't doing anything but hiding in her room, not going out, not laughing at jokes, and genuinely looking just traumatised. And they are sisters, even if they hardly spend time together. Janette has no job and she'd be in her room trying desperately to cope with the reality of it.

I suppose Janette could be wandering the streets with Megraph round her shoulders as protection, and Jana could bump into her sister?
