"❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, ADALSINDA OF FRANCE, THE TSARINA OF RUSSIA is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR CHILDHOOD CONFIDANTE at court. they should be between 30-35 and look like: CLAIRE FOY, NATHALIE EMMANUEL, ALEXANDRA DOWLING, OR ANY AGE APPROPRIATE FEMALE FC. other information includes: this character would be a childhood friend of adalsinda’s who was raised alongside her at court. she’s probably the daughter of french nobles, and is now married to a french nobleman and heading her own household. i imagine the ladies were close, and that even after adalsinda went away to russia, they kept in contact. this character has been adalsinda’s main connection to france while she’s been away, and perhaps adalsinda has also tried to use this friend as a way of creating some influence of her own in the court that was once her home. reunited in lisbon, the two of them will resume their closeness for the first time in years, and adalsinda will rely on this friend, though things may change as the story unfolds. (you DO NOT need to (but may) contact them before arrival: adalsindaofanjou)"

FAMILIAL CONNECTIONS.
"❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, HARRY PLANTAGENET, THE PRINCE OF WALES is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR UNCLE & CONSPIRATOR at court. they should be between 35 – 45 and look like: **JJ FEILD**, DAVID OAKES, ERIC BANA, CRAIG PARKER. other information includes: There where whispers in court when, aged four, the brother of the future King Edward was created Duke of Gloucester to avoid undue speculation that the boy was secretly the child of a lowly Baron to whom Queen Marguerite depended upon throughout early hardships in her marriage. Nevertheless, Edmund Plantagenet is a force to be reckoned with, an ambitious and equally designing individual who has paved a path for himself as the firmest adviser to the future king and his nephew, Harry. He is persistent in his goal to seat the Prince of Wales on the throne, despite waves against them in the form of the powerful Neville family. Harry’s uncle, this character is additionally the brother of King Edward, played by Suki, and paternal uncle to Edward’s numerous children. And we do mean numerous. (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: hcrryofwales.)""❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, ISABEL NEVILLE, THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR STEP-DAUGHTER at court. they should be between 28 - 30 and look like: GEMMA CHAN, ANGEL COULBY, KYLIE BUNBURY, LASHANA LYNCH, MEDALION RAHIMI / WOC. other information includes: the countess of westmorland is the daughter of the late john talbot, the earl of shrewsbury and isabel’s first husband. her father died when she was still quite young, thus she and her brother were left in the care of her step-mother. isabel would have likely have sent them to her family in the north but kept in close contact and visited with regularity, so i would like for them to have a close bond and isabel definitely considers her to be a daughter. she was married to isabel’s cousin, thomas neville (the earl of westmorland) some years ago but other family details are utp. despite she and isabel being close, there were some rumours when her father died that it was not of natural causes and so this could form some conflict between them as the rp progresses. (DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: isabelofyork)""❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, APOLLONIA HABSBURG-BABENBERG, THE EMPRESS OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR OLDER ILLEGITIMATE HALF-BROTHER, CARDINAL COLONNA at court. they should be between 49 - 59 and look like: JUDE LAW, NIKOLAJ COSTER-WALDAU, RALPH FIENNES, TOBY STEPHENS, DAMIEN LEWIS, ROBERT CARLYLE, CRAIG PARKER, UTP. other information includes: Cardinal Colonna was dealt a cruel hand. Born to Giordano Colonna - a brother of Pope Leopold XII - outside the bonds of holy matrimony, he was destined to have to fight for everything his half-siblings were given. The eldest surviving child born to the proud House of Colonna, the Cardinal was groomed from the first to one day follow his uncle as the Pope. With Colonna’s promotion to the Cardinalcy and his half-sister’s ascent to the role of Holy Roman Empress, the pieces on the board were all carefully set for the Cardinal to assume the Throne of St. Peter when his uncle died in 1455, but disaster struck. The Cardinal lost out on the Papacy by a mere two votes. Now, Colonna plots at the heart of Christendom, determined to ensure his rise - and in so doing, risks exerting the anger of the Pope, himself. Cardinal Colonna stands on a knife’s edge: glory and excommunication hang in the balance. (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: apolloniacolonna.)""❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, MEHDI MIRZA, SHAH OF PERSIA is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR MOTHER at court. they should be between 57 - 63 and look like: Sarah Parish, Joanne Whaley, Anna Chancelor, Janet McTeer, Elizabeth Govern, or anyone of player’s choice. other information includes: She hails from Portugal, and is aunt to King Cristiano, and was married to the previous Shah of Persia as part of a deal made between the lat Shah and Cristiano’s father. The deal fell through in the early years of their marriage, and has not seen progress since. However, as a princess she was honoured by the Shah, and made Queen Consort even though she was not his first wife. She bore Mehdi a few years later, and on the passing of his father became the Queen Mother. Her relationship with Mehdi is not the strongest, as his Portuguese ancestry is not seen as a good thing within the court, but something that takes away from his father’s - that may also reflect on her and her experience in Iran, whether as the leader of the harem or later. Now that Persia is participating in the international summits, she may wish to rebuild stronger ties with Portugal, and this could lead to conflict for her in court. She’s also been away from Europe for a long time, which may lead to some interesting scenarios as she returns to it after 40-ish years! (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: shahmehdi.)""❝ ––– PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, NIKITA RURIK, THE GRAND DUKE OF RUSSIA and IVAN RURIK, THE TSAR OF RUSSIA is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR MOTHER at court. they should be 50+ and look like: ESSIE DAVIS, MICHELE FAIRLEY, JOANNE WHALLEY, HELEN MIRREN, KRISTEN SCOTT THOMAS, ANNA CHANCELLOR, UTP. other information includes: Vasilia Palaiologina Rurik is a clever, calculating, cutthroat woman who has pulled the strings for Rurik power and influence over the years, inspiring the hearts of many and striking fear into whoever dares cross her family. Raised at the edge of the glittering Marmara Sea in Constantinople, Vasilia Palaiologina was born a Byzantine Princess. As a young woman, she was married to Dmitri Rurik, the Great Prince of Moscow. Believing her husband to be unfit to reign, she was the mastermind to place her eldest son in his stead at only fourteen. Throughout her marriage, Vasilia never surrendered her imperial dreams, raising her six children with vivid stories of her beloved homeland. Now that Constantinople has fallen to the Ottoman Empire, and her surviving Palaiologos relatives have fled to Russia and Morea, Vasilia cannot help but dream of a restoration. As Ivan plots to bring the Russian and Ottoman Empires closer, his mother begins to look towards her favourite child, Rudolf, to help her restore the homeland she has lost. Little does she know, however, that Rudolf’s own loyalties might just be divided…She heads to the summit with her own agenda, ready to forge friends in high places and ruin any threat to all she has built. (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: ivanrurik.)" "❝––– PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, CRISTOBAL TRASTÁMARA, THE PRINCE OF ASTURIAS is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR DAUGHTER at court. they should be between 18-20 and look like: preferably biracial ( half-white ) but UTP. other information includes: this is cristobal’s daughter from his first wife. i’ve been calling her catalina in my head and in a couple threads, but i’m pretty open to changing and making adjustments! in my mind, he dotes on her but he’s also left her with her stepmother in recent years, so they probably haven’t spent much time together. (you DO need to contact them before arrival)"

STAFF CONNECTIONS.
"❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, MARIUS D'ANJOU, THE PRINCE OF FRANCE is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR TRUSTED SPY at court. they should be between 28 - 45 and look like: UTP f/m/nb, other information includes: now that Marius has left the French court to seek glory beneath the Holy Roman Empire’s banner, he leaves behind a recruited individual who has been working for Marius long before the Prince left the homeland. The types of missions they would’ve undertaken differ depending on their gender, since a female spy would’ve helped to adjust the Queen Mother into the nunnery Marius had placed her into shortly after the death of her son and Marius’ older brother, King Ferrant and would’ve helped spy/poison Marius’ enemies through seduction and lie-weaving. Whilst a male spy would’ve taken a more front-line role, fighting by Marius’ side or taking to Marius’ enemies with daggers and hand-to-hand combat. Whatever gender/fc you choose, Marius sees this character as his most trusted companion - he would trust them with his life. Marius has been away from court for a year and a half, but they would have often kept in contact through secret letters and trusted messengers. Now in Portugal, they must plan their next steps and Marius owes this character a debt in terms of a huge favour. you DO NOT (but it may be helpful)  need to contact them before arrival: mariusdanjou.)""❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, APOLLONIA HABSBURG-BABENBURG, THE EMPRESS OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR CHIEF COURT MISTRESS at court. they should be between 30 - 59 and look like: UTP. other information includes: The Chief Court Mistress, who is also the Countess of Celje, has long been a fierce and loyal advocate of Apollonia, working closely beside her for the good of the Holy Roman Empire.  She is one of precious few whom Apollonia trusts implicitly.  In her official capacity as Chief Court Mistress, she is the highest ranking woman at court after the female members of the imperial family, and her duties include administration, management, and oversight of court, ettiquette, Apollonia’s household, and the other ladies-in-waiting, as well as anything else the Empress may require. She is also empowered, in certain situations, to represent Apollonia as a hostress or ambassador. Another side of this public relationship works below the surface, however: the Countess of Celje also acts unofficially as Apollonia’s spymistress, advisor, confidante, and saboteur to her enemies. (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: apolloniacolonna.)""❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, ISABEL NEVILLE, THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR TUTORFROM THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE at court. they should be between 30 - 50 and look like: DEV PATEL, OSCAR ISAACS, RANVEER SINGH, RAY FEARIN, ANY MOC. other information includes: UPON HER VENTURING INTO LEARNING OTTOMAN TURKISH, ISABEL WAS SENT A TUTOR BY THE ESTEEMED SULTAN, ISKENDER, TO AIDE HER IN HER ENDEAVOURS. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN ENGLAND FOR AROUND SIX OR MONTHS AND BEEN PART OF THE QUEENS HOUSEHOLD EVER SINCE. HIS BACKGROUND IS ENTIRELY UTP, HOWEVER IT IS CRUCIAL THAT HE HAD MADE A BIT OF A NAME FOR HIMSELF PRIOR TO DEPARTING FROM THE OE. (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: isabelofyork.)"

ROMANTIC CONNECTIONS.
"❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, ALFONSO ANSCARIDS, THE KING OF CASTILE is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR PREVIOUS MISTRESS & CURRENT ADVERSARY at court. they should be between 25 – 35 and look like: NATALIE DORMER (PREF IN THE TUDORS), AMANDA HALE, SALMA HAYEK, SELMA ERGEC (OR CONTACT ME FOR AN ALTERNATIVE). other information includes: When the Count of Estrada’s eldest daughter was set in the King of Castile’s sights, the intention was very much so to make her Queen. Their ambitions were foiled when, instead of bearing the crown, she instead bore the king an illegitimate child that he stipulated would be passed off as a Spanish nobleman’s to avoid shame for both the woman and her family as he was no longer interested in pursuing her (for reasons we can def plot out!). She was quickly married off to an individual of his choosing –– the aged but extremely moneyed & influential Marquess of Las Salinas –– and numerous years passed before the couple were invited to return to court. In that time, Alfonso has married. But years as a husband have yielded only a stillborn son. He is not only eager, but indeed desperate for a living heir as his alliance with the Holy Roman Empire hangs in the balance. So, movements are underway to bring up his child with the Marchioness at court, where he will be tutored as a potential pawn for the King. This causes dissent between mother and father, and should be a meaty treat for any spectators! (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival: allfcnso.)""❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, MURAD, THE ŞEHZADE OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF HIS LOVER at court. they should be between 25-32 and look like: BEREN SAAT, MERVE BOLUGUR, EVA DEDOVA, TUBA BUYUKUSTUN, OR ANY OTHER WOC AND/OR TURKISH FEMALE FC. other information includes: This character is a member of the Ottoman harem, and she has likely become Murad’s lover recently (since late 1458). While not legally married, she is the one who has his heart, and he treats her with absolute tenderness. They have no children yet, but this may be a possibility for a future plot. Her personality is totally UTP, but it might be interesting if she schemes alongside Nehir and Mahidevran to ensure Murad’s place on the throne in the future. (you DO NOT need to contact them before arrival (but it would be preferred just to square away the details!): SEHZADEMURAD.)""❝ –––  PRAISED BE THEIR NAME, EVELINA RURIK, THE GRAND DUCHESS OF RUSSIA is REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF THEIR EX-LOVER at court. they should be between 25 - 30 and look like: Wade Briggs, Jack Lowden, Kit Harington. other information includes: Evelina’s family specifically her brother Ivan, sent her lover away from her when she was 20 years old because he wouldn’t secure a strong alliance between Russia and other countries and that was the last they had seen of each other until they finally run into each other during the French Summit of 1459. They previously only kissed because he knew of Evelina’s duties as the Grand Duchess called for her to remain untouched for her future match. (you DOneed to contact them before arrival: 3v3linarose)"
