He won't talk in the beginning. Are you ok with that and not many people know his name because saying it means he must do as commanded.

Someone for Nyx. You have full range to make him however. She is human but appears like a fairy.
I'm open too for collabs with characters!
@ iesha sweet! what species were you looking for him to be? and is it arranged or wanted?
@ anastasia
we need to do something lol
i haven't made characters yet so what are you looking for i can base it off of what you need
@Jamilah Whichever you want. I can work with either. She is from the Unseelie court so someone to be her moon in the seelie court since, she is the sun, would do.
@JamilahI've got a few planned out, but the only full is in the fae thread
That's perfectly fine with me. I have a few different characters that could work, but if none of them appeal to you, I also have a couple new ones in the works as well.Ianira Moonshiver is Unseelie royalty. Her grandmother was the sister of the current Unseelie King, and her aunt is the esteemed and powerful Lady Moonshiver. Ianira herself is quiet and reserved by nature, and she is also a bit of a bookworm. So silence on Cirrus's part wouldn't bother her much. I can also see her aunt and mother helping to arrange this betrothal and being very much in favor of it. Ianira is about 98 years old, so I don't know if that would bother Cirrus or not. She is pretty mature for her age, and the rest of her information can be found in her character form if you need to know more.
Galina de Lancret is a Seelie noblewoman who is forever avoiding her family's attempts to set her up with other noblemen. She's 148 and closer in age to Cirrus if that's something important to him. Her and her sisters are river nymphs renowned for their beauty and grace, and Gal is also kind, sweet, and all-around good company. Out of the the possible betrothals for Cirrus, she would be the most perturbed by him not speaking (though only slightly). She would definitely try to get herself out of the betrothal if at all possible, so it would probably have to be arranged by the Seelie Court. Or if you would rather them meet and fall for each other of their own accord and then decide to get engaged themselves, that's always a possibility as well. In that case, she would be all for it.
And then there is Aedelheide Veora, one of the most famous war heroes of the Unseelie Court. She is also of noble blood but has promised herself to a life of celibacy (for the moment, anyhow). She is slightly hardened and doesn't have much patience for idle chit chat and pointless small talk. I don't think Cirrus's lack of speaking will really bother her at all. Like Galina, either the courts would have to arrange their betrothal or she and Cirrus would have to meet, court, and make the decision to marry themselves.
And of course, if none of these sound appealing, I have other characters I'm working on at the moment. Those three above also have more information in their forms; I just summarized the main points in case you didn't want to read through them :)
@iesha ok ill make brainstorms and update you on ideas :)
@anastasia
i love Raizel it makes me want to make a human or someone unexpected that challenges her and doesn't fall for her and its this game of frustration for the both of them
@JamilahYes! I love that dynamic. Maybe she falls in love with them and is upset because she can't work her magic
@anastasia exactly! but what species is resistant to her magic? or is it just because they wear charms or something
we could try the charm kind of thing, I couldn't find super specifics species wise. Maybe they've done their research and know how to resist such things?
I know I'm not technically part of this conversation, but warding spells or enchanted objects designed to protect against specific types of magic could effectively make someone immune to whatever type of magic the ward is meant to protect against as long as someone has it on their person somewhere.
@ the_rabid_snailThanks!!
could it also be said that if you have the same or equal power they null each other out? or am i just making things up lol
That could also be a valid option. I think it would depend on how you designed the character's magic to work, but if you wanted, that could be an added bonus to their powers.
@ the_rabid_snailI choose Ianira Moonshiver. It would be interesting to see a royal interact with the prince of Autumn. She reads so much that she might have come across his name too.
Cool! I'm sure she would know a little about him since her mother or aunt would probably tell her just kind of the basic facts about him once their engagement was announced.
How should they meet up? In the woods? Or he could be summoned?
It depends on how they first meet. Do you want them to meet formally the first time or informally, like they just accidentally bumped into each other?
He stays in his wolf form mainly so I feel like they should meet formally so he is forced to appear in his elf form.
Alright, that's cool. I'm about to get off for the night, but we can rp them meeting tomorrow?
Apparently I'm not getting off just yet after all, oof. They could meet at the Moonshiver Castle, or they could meet somewhere in Neutral Territory?
The castle us fine. Is there a throbe like room? He could be summoned there.
There was a throne room in the castle, but technically Ianira's grandmother forfeited her title as princess when she became the first Lady Moonshiver. Long story short, her grandmother had a throne room anyway and was not the most pleasant person, so after she died, Ianira's aunt had the entire room renovated into an art gallery/reception hall.
Hmm so where should they meet?
They could meet elsewhere in the castle. There's gardens, a sitting room, a library, etc. (some of which I have to make but it would take like two seconds). Really anywhere in the castle would work. I can make just about any sort of room or area. I also thought of The Poisoned Apple in Neutral Territory. It's basically a very refined tearoom with private sections and stuff.
The Poisoned Apple sounds ok. Do you want to post first or I?

Does anyone want to make Guinevere's lady in waiting? She has a lot of slaves and ladies in waiting, but this one is sort of like a double agent. Most of Ginny's staff are spies for her husband. This girl pretends to be, but she actually loves Guinevere like a sister and secretly protects her from him by covering up her mistakes when she can. She tells Guinevere all the things that she's not supposed to know (about her family and the family of her former betrothed) and the two of them know everything about each other, telling each other their deepest secrets. Around the other handmaidens they tend not to talk about anything important, and she does have a love for beautiful dresses and pretty hairstyles and those sorts of things as she comes from a noble unseelie family, but she was the odd one out in her family always because she was a sweetheart and her family were very traditionally unseelie. She's very efficient with her duties, so she doesn't raise the suspicions of any of the other ladies in waiting since they think this is why she's Guinevere's favourite.
I'm also looking for a love interest for Lady Allura. If anyone has any ideas, throw them at me. :)
@lesha, cool. It doesn't matter too much to me who posts first, but I can go first if you don't want to.
@Darl AngelI love both of those and would love to create a character for either of them :)
*Dark Angelsorry about that
also I reread Allura's profile, I just love her
@the_rabid_snailCould you post first so I know where they are so Cirrus knows where to go?
Mod
sorry about that
also I reread Allura's profile, I just love her"
Aw that's totally fine! Thank you so much for your compliment on Allura! :)
Who do you think would be the easiest for you to make? Allura's love interest or Guinevere's friend/lady in waiting? <3 Thank you so much for your interest, by the way!
I'm always a fan of romantic story lines, so I would love to do them.Any specifics I should keep in mind? Gender, age, species, etc?
Mod
Any specifics I should keep in mind? Gender, age, species, etc?"
Allura would find it easier to fall for a fae. What sort of fae is completely up to you. She would probably find it easier to fall for someone in the Unseelie Court. As for age, anyone over 100 (as that's the age a fae can give romantic consent and the age a fae can be married at) will be fine. Maybe in the 150-300 range? I think she could probably fall for either a male or a female so you can choose that one. Did you have any ideas for their personality? Also, right now Allura thinks she's in love with her cousin Mihail but it's really more of an infatuation and she's actually starting to dislike him a little because of how he's playing with her affections.
I was unsure if you wanted someone with a similar or contrasting personality type.
@lesha, definitely! I'll have something written up asap :)
Mod
Well Allura seems dark and sadistic, but she does have a sweeter side that comes out around certain people. That could be an option. She also has quite a twisted sense of humour but she doesn't mean half the things she jokes about.
She's also quite a secret dark romantic. She's always dreamed of receiving black roses and jewelry carved from human bones, having picnics at Hangman's Hill or under the full moon in a forest, but she doesn't think that any of that stuff is possible. Though she does dream of being truly loved. She would probably go for someone who is protective, perhaps a bit possessive without being abusively so. She also loves a good story so it would be a bonus if her partner could tell a good story.
I'll keep all that in mind, I'm excited to start, this'll be a fun project, so thanks!If you want, when I'm done I can give you a preview or I can just post it. Whichever you prefer.

I have Dyrk Nightshade up for whatever.
@Dark AngelI had some extra time, so I made her. She's up in the Fae thread. I really liked the story teller aspect you talked about, so I incorporated that into her life.
@Dark Angel,Before I took a break from gr, I remember saying that I'd make a slave for Aurinda. Do you still need one - and if so, do you have any specifications?
Also, I'll hopefully make Adelia and Tilda soon - I think Adelia was going to be a friend of Allura's and Tilda was supposed to be a friend of Eilidh or Ninnia's...

Yes! I very much still need a slave for Aurinda!
You can make her in any way you want, but it would be wonderful if she was a good friend and confidant to Aurinda; someone that Aurinda could speak to without any fear of being judged. Maybe she's been Aurinda's slave since the palace took her in when she was just a little girl, after the massacre at her sister's engagement party? It's not uncommon for young children to be slaves in Elfame, so that would mean that they would have grown up together and an almost sisterly relationship would be likely. So this girl would have known Aurinda through her palace life and seen the affects the Veoras have had on her, but has no personal connection to the feud herself. That way she can give more impartial advice to Aurinda about her husband. She'll be able to understand why Aurinda hates and wants to get revenge on her husband at first. Aurinda may even trust her with the location of her living family members and ask her to pass messages onto them? If she's okay with that. But as time goes on and her feelings for her husband get more confused, she'll be able to see the situation more impartially and judge Aeryn as a man in his own right, not simply a Veora. I was hoping for someone who can stay calm under pressure, someone compassionate, someone who is a good shoulder to cry on. I was hoping that as well as being a good slave, they would be willing to take risks for their friend to set her mind at ease about her family and anything else that worries her (like passing secret, illicit messages between Aurinda and her family and visiting Aurinda's living family members to deliver food and supplies to them). Does this sound like a character you would be interested in playing? If not, you can make another slave for Aurinda and someone else can make this particular slave for her, since I imagine she would have more than one slave.
Also, if anyone at all is interested, I'm still looking for Guinevere's lady in waiting/best friend. There are details in a post somewhere above but I would be happy to repeat them if anyone is interested.
@dark angelI'd be willing to do another collab with you if that's ok, I love your writing style so much!
@Dark Angel,Yes, your idea for the slave is awesome! I’ll definitely make her hopefully in the next couple days (if my eye strain permits it). I really like the idea of her being a confidante and friend to Aurinda, and she definitely wouldn’t mind passing messages to her family etc. I also love making characters who enjoy stating their opinions haha, so she’d be a good impartial person to get advice and whatnot from.
I do have some characters who could possibly be betrothed to Cirrus if you're interested, though.
