Laine
Laine is a Wizened Chatelaine who runs a hotel in Inverness. He's known to give people a free stay when they're fresh out of the Hedge.
Durance
Laine's Durance was as a Head of House for a Fey Lord. He took care of arranging rooms, keeping the house spick and span, arranging meals and table settings...
His Keeper isn't detailed (as I recall), but ties with people who'd had the same experience would be doable.
Hotel Guests
Laine's hotel, The Fiddlers Rest is open to all - Lost and mortal alike. He has a Hollow accompanying the hotel that echoes it. If you'd like to have stayed in it at any point, get in touch.
Rosalba
Rosalba is an Elemental Woodblood with many ties throughout England and Scotland. She is always eager to help people, particularly those fresh from the Hedge, and/or downtrodden, and/or in trouble.
Durance
Rosalba a Woodblood, but many of The Lady of Blissful Dreams' pets will have been Fairests, some Wizened, or maybe Beasts. I am specifically looking for people from her background - the cow, perhaps?
Rosie
Pre-durance
I would love for anyone to have possibly known Rosie before her durance. She was born in East London in 1930. Her family were respectable working class - father worked as a train driver. She was evacuated to Devon during WW2, returning in 1943, and was taken 1943/1944.
Keeper
If anyone would like to have Darken Fel or Lady Spindlefingers as their Keeper, that would be fantastic.
Sleekit Tod
Tod is an elderly Beast Riddleseeker who's been retired and keeping a low profile in Inverness for a few years.
Pre-durance
Tod was a Scottish Traveller (not a Gypsie or Roma) and poacher a long time ago, still to be determined exactly
Durance
He spent time first as a fox being hunted and then later as an opponent for games and riddles. Keeper to be established.
Raiding Clan
When he got back, Tod was recruited by the Raiding Clans, like most Scottish Lost. People with contacts to them (friendly or otherwise) may have crossed paths sometime before the turn of the century.
Venice Fortescue
High Society
Do you move in the right sort of circles? Might you be the kind of person to know the daughter of an aristocratic multi-millionaire? Maybe we went to rehab together? Perhaps Venice sold you drugs for your special party, or maybe you were just rich and handsome enough to be worth a night of her time.
Psychiatric Hospital
Was your character sectioned, at any point between 2000 and 2009? Might we have met there? How about rehab?
Family
I would love and adore someone to play anyone connected with Venice's mortal family. Her father is a property developer and multi-millionaire. Her grandmother is an evil English aristocrat. Her brother is a charming rugby playing sociopath (with occasional tendancies towards incest), and she has two blonde moppet half sisters, who have had to endure this familial hell. On her mother's side, her family are Russian thugs.
Underworld
Do you have Russian mafia ties? Even better, do you have Colombian drug dealer ties? Could you have met Venice at that kind of party, or even threatened her in a dubious back alley?
Gla'seea
if any of the below looks like it would tie in with your character contact me and we can work out the details.
Durance
turned into a giant ice block then smashed, from then on used as a "hunting dog" by his fae lord (big viking looking chap), where you part of the hunting pack? or another part of the icelords household?
Random hedge find
Gla spends all of his time in the hedge, and with his mind set he runs to the rescue of "damsels in distress". He doesnt use trods and paths as much as he should, maybe you ran into him in the hedge?
Gladiator-ing
Gla regularly joins in the gladiatorial contests of the goblin dome in newcastle, maybe we had a fight? i killed your farther with his own sword? we teamed up during match and saved each others lifes on more thna one occasion?
Contact me[1]
Ella-Ra
Romantic
Ella has only escaped from Arcadia just over a year ago. She is looking for possible lovers she may have met, flirted with or had brief relationships with. Preferably attractive men or women who are reasonably relaxed and flirtaous.
Harper
Criminal
Before and after being taken, Harper was a thief, and a good one, and still has some dodgy underworld ties. If you might have crossed paths with him, on either side of the law, then I'd be interested in hearing from you.
Courier Work
As a member of the Guild of the Sacred Journey, Harper has been ferrying packages between the Free Lost for the last couple of years. I'd really like to have some past employers around the country.
Good Times
Harper has basically spent his life trying to enjoy it to the fullest. He's normally quite well off, and will get into anything from High Society bashes to seedy bars & clubs. If you might have met him at any kind of party or similar, either pre- or post-Durance, then get in touch and we'll see what we can work out.
Romantically speaking, I'm interested in anything from one-night stands to long(ish) term romances.
Spring Court
I'm also look for someone would have been around in the Spring Court around 2006, and might have helped the newly returned Harper into the Court.
Anything else
If you have something you think that a pretty thief/courier might fit for, get in touch and we can see what develops!
Argentus
The Great War
Were you another 'Tommy', or a nurse tending the wounded? Did we fight side-by-side on the battlefields of Belgium, or glare at each other across yards of twisted barbed wire?
Were you the girl I leave behind at the tender age of 17 - never having kissed - in order to fight for King and Country?
Dusk and Dawn
Ties with any members of Dusk and Dawn are always appreciated.
Elementals
Looking for other elementals to explore an increasing understanding of emotion with, and the connections we share to our elements.
Keeper
Did you serve your Durance under The Lord of Darken Fel? Were you another statue or construct of the Lord? Were you a sailor upon his living ship, or a buccaneer who helped the Lord capture other Lost or treasures to bring to his love, the Lady Spindlefingers?
If so, I'd love to hear from you.
Hedge Trackers
Are you a Hedge tracker or forrager? Did we meet in the depths of the hedge, wandering lonely pathways whilst looking for valuable Hedge Fruits? Did we save one or the other from attacks by Vileshrikes or Briar Wolves? Or are you a trader who would purchase Gent's wares to be later sold on at market?
Franklin Rochester
Keeper
Franklin's keeper was the The Botanist of the Incomparable Garden. Were you an animal or plant kept for his amusement? Were you one of the wizened who tended to the plants, or the water elementals kept to ensure rain on command?
Contacts
Location mostly irrelevant for contacts, as he's moved around a lot over the years.
Autumn Court
Need someone to have been your butler, assistant, manservant, or other such role in the past 5 years? Sign up here!
General links to other members of the court also welcome.
Spring Court
Looking for someone to have inducted Franklin in 2002, and general Springy people to have hung out with before he left in 2004. Franklin was very much a "trying to pretend Arcaida never happened, and live life how I want" type of Spring.
When he returned from Arcadia he was even less socially adept than then when he was taken, and it took his two years of Spring to help turn that around, perhaps you aided him to come out of his shell?
Other Courts
Similar links to other courts are also welcome, but Autumn members take precedence if there's a clamour for his time.
Mostly, looking for people to have run into over the last 8 years on a "know his name" basis at the least. More contact possible if people wish, both positive and negative.
Magistrates of the Wax Mask
Looking for other Magistrates to have known since he joined in 2006.
If people are looking to join, please contact Franklin in-character. He doesn't hide the fact he is a member.
Astraea
Astraea is a Fairest Muse/ Author who is famous for the children's books she writes. She is also a Lady of the Echoes. Taken in 1940, it is possible to have some ties before then. She returned from Arcadia in 2000, and was a member of the Winter Court for a couple of years until her natural disposition came back and she became a Spring Courtier. In 2007 she went away for a couple of years to train in her Entitlement. Any time in there is open for ties.
A love affair before 2007 is possible
Durance
Astraea's keeper was Philostrate, and her job was to be his Muse and write new stories for him. Other Lost would be forced to act out the parts and while she tried to make the happy endings for them, the Keeper always twisted it. Looking for people in that Durance, probably actors in the plays?
Also looking specifically for a love affair during the Durance and a Beast or Ogre she escaped with (more are possible)
Ciara
Ciara is a Darkling Cat who was in the employ of the Keeper Rache since childhood. Once one of his elite spies and assassins, she fell from grace and was punished by being made into a cat and ordered to assassinate all the rats and mice in the stables to win back her Keeper's favour. There she made friends with Gehenna and with him eventually escaped, arriving in the real work May 2010
Possible Links
Lovers - she never fell in love, but had lovers in Arcadia
Others in Rache's army - particularly in the elite corps
Others at the stables - particularly the dogs who she hates, rats and mice who she hunted or other likely animals
2 pupils she would have been given to train up - both as young children
The person she should have killed but failed to, leading to her disgrace (probably under the Keeper Mardöll The Beautiful Sun)
Perry Hound
Keeper
Want to be a Knight in Shinning Armour, or the Damsel in Distress?
How about a Diligent Serf or a Wizard's Apprentice?
Perhaps you were a Winsome Orphan who stole bread, and was hunted down by Judge Dread Perry Hound?
Have you got a Fantasy Trope I haven't mentioned yet bursting inside you, wanting to get out?
Well, perhaps the Lady of the Silver Towers can help YOU!
Contacts
Summer Court
Other Summer to have been all angry and wrathy with would be lovely. Some to be annoyed at as well, shouldn't be all roses in the summer sun...
Other Courts
Same as above, really. Friends, enemies, lovers, haters, whatnots.
Motley
Yes please? :)
Kieran
Kieran is a chirurgeon turned sculptor and philanthropist.
Durance
Kieran's keeper, The Lady of a Thousand Faces has created Lost of many different kiths, with an emphasis on the monstorous. I'm particularly interested in ties with characters that were subjected to surgical alteration during their durances.
Post Durance
Kieran spent months hitching his way around the country looking for a home he barely remembers. Did you meet him on his travels?
Neve
Pre-durance
Might you have been to a seedy strip club in Las Vegas 10-15ish years ago? Perhaps you too were a bored housewife in the early 21st century?
Keeper
Neve briefly belonged to Whisper, kept in a music box. Perhaps you were too?
Lies in Advertising
Maybe you've done business with a medium-sized advertising company or a freelance ad exec in the south of England?
Whisper
Discarded Playthings
Did your PC have Whisper for a Keeper?
Lost who were Kept by Whisper would have been meddled with and modified fitfully and severely, until they fitted its warped, constantly shifting definition of "beauty". Those with especially exotic or just downright peculiar meins may be Lost which once belonged to Whisper. Its belongings are striking, be this with aching beauty or jarring distortion.
Escaping from Whisper is simple enough: after some length of time it tires of all its quarry, relegating them to sections of its realms which are gloomy, unkempt, difficult to survive in but easy to escape from. Those escaping while it remained interested in them would have had a more difficult time, but such a feat remains within the realms of possibility. Did your Lost spend time in his palatial abode? Were they subjected to some of its countless experiments? Were they cast aside, or did they somehow escape from its intimate clutches?
Then just get in touch, and feel free to add your PC to its Wiki!
Seeming Suggestions
Whisper has an especially great love for Beasts and Fairest, although it also has a team of intersex Chatelaines for bodyguarding, diplomatic and housefrauing purposes. Those abandoned quickly often become Darklings in the neglected gloom (although it also uses Whisperwisps to read child Fairests their soothing bed-time stories). Only Ogres are rarely bothered with at all, save for when Whisper's taste in beauty switches towards the brutish & hyper-masculine. And as for Elementals, well...One has to light ones palace somehow.
All those who find Whisper's favour are either beautiful (although this could mean anything eye-catching, from extreme conventional beauty to tendrils for eyes, depending upon when they were made), or capable of creating beauty. Artists, Authors, Dancers, Minstrels, Muses & Nightsingers are examples of kiths it can tolerate despite plain looks.
Chirugeons
Whisper requires a well-trained team of Lost to keep apace with its own imagination. Conditioned in mind and kept constantly busy with the barrage of its perpetually perverser and perverser demands, this Kith are used endlessly by the Viscount. Was your Chirugeon part of this horrifically-tasked squadron?
Chronos
Email Andy (the player of Chronos)
Romantic
Chronos has been travelling around the UK and Europe for the past couple of years, so might feasibly have had romantic entanglements. He's chivalric in the extreme, but also quite flighty, so there is room for all sorts of romantic complications.
Keeper
Chronos was a soldier in a war he can't quite remember, and has vague memories of a Keeper who was obsessed with time, time pieces, and clockwork. If this sounds like your Keeper then get in touch.
Other things
Summer Court contacts are always welcome. Chronos is a sword for hire, and may have got involved in all sorts of battles over the last year or so. He's not been particularly visible for a few months now, so any sort of viable reason for him not being around would also be appreciated.
Mr Know
The Veiled Consortium
As visible on my wiki, the consortium is a group to keep the free fae active in the munndane world, to have thier skills be of use and used for the betterment of the self and the Free fae.
The organisation is being RP'd as going dormant and then back into activity now so old ties welcome as are new candidates.
Clients, Associates and other entanglements
Mr Know, had his fingers in all the pies, he was in those parties, in the exclusive places and talking to the powerful people. Perhaps you were too? Perhaps you were one of these people. Mr Know has been out of the hedge for at least 15 years doing this and never seems to age or change. If you have corporate, illegal, legal or political connections like him, you may know him at least in passing.
Endemion "Liam Rooke"
Keeper
I am looking for characters that endured a Durance with The Lady of Blissful Dreams, especially characters that are open to have being lured into her realm by Liam.
