OUT OF LUX discussion

oh ok, thanks! (my brain just isn’t braining and it’s only 9:40 pm 😭)

Yes, the drama! And yeah, I figured lol
Basically:
Rosalind: Not friends, but don't hate each other either
Celia: The sister she gets along well with and would most likely be her friend
Juliette, Hates Lacey, but she doesn't care XD

Literally me when I'm tired 😭

@elizabeth
Harlow: as tactician maybe Faulx is helping determine tactics on patrols and brainstorming ways they can possibly catch the murderer in action while also most productively protecting the city of Voxthain? that's what I figured his role would kinda be with the murders although I assume you initially envisioned his role as like he plans battle formations and stuff for fighting (which he still can do efficiently due to experience). and yes, we should totally RP them! and if you'd like to RP the grape thing we can also do that XD (grape with Harlow, not Cal for clarification)

@elizabeth, that seems to hit the nail on the head with the thorne siblings
i don't have much to add :)

yeah that seems fair

I have the Seavey uncle, the brother of the patriarch. I've talked to Payne and discussed his relationship with the nephew, but I would like to establish his relationships with the rest of the family. Let me know and we can work out the details.
I also have Lacey, a Spider undercover as a Snake and a sword mage in the fighting ring. I've established some relationships with Aelin's characters, but she needs more friends (and enemies). If you have a character that works, let me know :)

@all
If anyone didn't see, for my Stormvale OC, I'm going to have her engaged to an Asterath guy (no clue his role). I don't really know what I want of either yet besides a bit of their plot which is basically him being a terrible fiance and them calling off the wedding. I'm making the girl in this relationship and am considering making her fiance however, if anyone is interested in making the fiance, we can talk!
@Kyleigh
1. I have Melody if you wanna figure out their dynamic?
2. Wanna figure out the Stormvale sister dynamic too while we're at it?

Alpha!
So I have a Stormvale son, I think he's in the immediate family (so one of the sons or the heir, idk it depends on others' ages/discussions). He's going to be 20, Xavier Amaranth, and these were my bullet points thoughts on him.
(view spoiler)
was your character going to be his sister or a cousin?

Elizabeth!!
She's in the immediate family as daughter so she'd be his sister. I don't know her age quite yet. Somewhere in the 20s. I'm thinking no younger then 24 and no older then 28 just for an idea of range. Her name is currently Catalina Taupe. Here's her bullet points, definitely subject to additions and changes:
(view spoiler)

STOP I LOVE HER??!!
Anyway ahem, this is good, we don't have a sibling collab so I'm excited. Okay, so he'd be younger than her, but probably more involved in politics despite kind of hating it, since he is so driven on wanting to better the relationship between the cities and help people.
I imagine he'd be pretty close to his sister? Maybe wants to support her and gets furious when catalina's dumped? he's not a romantic at all, but he does not want anyone hurting his family, even if they are different as xavier doesn't exactly like the outdoors. maybe he'd chill with catalina and read outside while she gardens or something xd
and it looks like kyleigh claimed the other sister so we gotta ask her what she wants too at some point


I was terrified people'd hate her but that makes me feel amazing XD I was going country/outdoorsy girl and I feel like it's actually going really well.
Yeah! This is exciting! Your OCs are always so well made, I'm excited to work with you! I agree that he's more involved in politics. She's engaged to an Asterath guy (probably someone powerful/rich) and that's like her offer for politics. She stays out of trouble and just represents the family here and there making friends and such.
I love the idea of familial support. They can definitely have a good relationship besides their differing interests. I imagine a lot of inside jokes. The fury would be amazing as well. I imagine her as a wreck and the guy walking away a total villain so. Yeah, she'd prolly give him books about gardening or smtg XD
Yeah, Kyleigh did claim the other sister so we can sort that eventually.

NO SHE'S GREAT. I adore the country vibes? The horse riding and gardening is so on point for this family I think, I like it.
It is! Aww, thank you, I really appreciate that <3 yours are lovely as well. Me too! And yeah, I think as much as he hates it, he knows that someone has to act more "traditional noble" to sometimes get the other houses and the council to listen to them, and he just wants peace between the cities and the people of both, so he hates the aloof nature of politics but is committed just to help people, so he's prepared to lead the family in the future if it comes to that, as much as he would rather just hang out with catalina xd and ooh, an asterath guy! yeah, I like that idea of her making friends and having the ex honestly, that's a very interesting situation that can cause some issues haha
okay amazing! And yay, great! Oh yes, inside jokes would be so much fun. And got it, perfect, yeah, Xavier would be furious seeing her so hurt and especially if the guy had no cares about what he did to someone who loved him. xd he'd roll his eyes and try to read them but alas
okay cool.

I adore the country vibes too, had no clue how cute she'd be and I literally only have a FC and color picked for her.
Just to make sure you understand: she will be engaged and then I'm rping her fiance being terrible and they call off the wedding and break up (then we have terrible ex roleplays XD). Just wanted to make sure that was clear. Maybe I'll have her fall in love again? idk really. Anyways, yeah, I want her to be Voxthain noble and him something Asterath. It makes sense for a family that specializes in intercity relations.
Yep. Sadly they don't have raccoons but they'll manage. She'd be heartbroken for like forever but eventually she'll move on. She wouldn't stop Xavier from getting some revenge though, probably secretly cheer him on and it would make her smile and laugh. But alas!

I love it! Also Taupe works with Catalina’s first name so we’ll tbh
Yeah absolutely. Yeah that works a lot I think. Isabella had more information and they’re kind of like, a family that intermarries in Asterath more often so I think that works to have her have been engaged to someone from there! It does make sense, and yeah, whether or not she falls in love again could always be a ploy point you explore later too.
They will XD. I love that! And yeah. I think Xavier would do everything in his power to try and cheer her up after that

I just went to Google it and realized that it's not only a shade of grey-brown but also is French for 'mole' lmao good thing she's outdoorsy
Great! That's why I figure Voxthain girl/Asterath guy. Yeah, that'll be a future me decision lol. Just gonna wing it like everything else
Xavier is such a sweetheart to her <3 I love that there's a relationship that isn't f'd up in Voxthain. She's gonna force him to learn to grow carrots, potatoes, and corn with her. And maybe take him horseback riding

either one, whatever aelin is good with!

i don’t mind! up to you bella
do you want your char to have two younger sisters?
and rory, while we’re at it, what is the relationship between our twins like?


@Bella
I finally got around to finishing up the final details on Maverick. Could you take a look and lemme know what you think?
edit: I also think I'm scrapping the dog profile lol. It was fun while it lasted but I don't feel like redoing my entire thread because I'm short posts when there is a dog profile that isn't even necessary.

Yeah! I haven't finished him yet, but would you say that they have a good relationship since Zain bullied her?
@Alpha and Elizabeth
Yes, the Stormvales! So the only thing I have for her is her name, which is Camila Mauve Stormvale. Since your guys' characters are in their 20s, Camila would probably be a teenager. Do you guys have anything specific in mind?

@Kyleigh and Alpha
Alpha, yes! I love that they're close as well, and I adore all those ideas. Xavier would probably do what she wants and help her garden and plant stuff and go horseback riding, just complain the whole time but love being with her anyway!
Kyleigh, teenager sounds good to me! Both Alpha and I posted their rundowns above in respective spoilers, so let us know what you think after you read those and what we discussed so far

alpha! Did we still want the correspondence between Europa and Sapphira? I remembered and very much want to do that today

Okay, I love them! Camila probably wouldn't be as close to them as they are with each other, but she would definitely be there for Catalina after her breakup to try and cheer her up. And she's probably not a fan of the councils and politics like Xavier, so they could have that common.

See, I think as a whole this family is not too into politics, but Xavier takes one for the team. He will speak as a spokesperson/is prepared to lead the family one day despite despising the politics.
He'd also probably be very protective of Camila as a younger sister! And if anything happened to her, even if he's closer to Catalina, he would be devastated

@Isabella
I don't if you'd be interested, but would you also like to do a correspondence between Europa and Venus? I'd love to see how they write to each other if you want :)


hi hi so actually nobody in the council knows she went to asterath! when she was talking with ceonrei about the shadowfog, it was in voxthain. she went to asterath on her own bc shes been fighting there for years now and this time bc she caused problems the last time, and to apologize, nobody knew she went down there is the only thing sadly
she stopped responding to sapphira and isn't responding to her family though, thats the only indication, and she missed a militia meeting


Oh I have the two daughters, so they'd be the adopted granddaughters of your character I think, who is the patriarch's mom
one is almost complete in my thread, ranami

@Kyleigh
idk, I think maybe distant? since he's her uncle and the father of her bully probably not an amazing relationship? did he like support Zain throughout the disowning or turn on his daughter/son.
as for the sisters, I find it funny they both have C names lol. thought it was the same one for a sec XD obvi we don't know her interests but I like the idea of supportive but not close? does that sound like what your thinking?
@Bella
amazing! thanks! I'll finish up with him them! I love him and Starla too <3
@elizabeth
yes! they're gonna be adorable 20yo's together XD
@Isabella
can you remind me the details of your ideas for that. sorry, info overload lol. from what I remember we can prob do that now?

Got it! He feels bad for both Melody and Zain, so he would be on both of their sides, if that makes sense?
XD. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Not super close, but supportive :)
@Elizabeth
Great! I'll look over her profile soon and figure something out :) I'm sure which patriarch she'd be the mother of, though lol.

Kyleigh wrote: "Maybe they could message each other about the gangs and Cal? I'm pretty sure her and the other Voxthain councilors know she's Zyx and Cadmus's daughter, and found it unusual that she hasn't returne..."
i don't know that europa would reach out to venus directly or do any council work at all ever, but what if venus had something she needed from the asterath council and chose europa to ask about it at random? it could be any menial council task

Kyleigh wrote: "Hey everyone! Before I forget, I have the Lucke mother. If you have a member of the family or one of their employees, let me know :)"
if your character is rory's patriarch's mom, i have her daughter claimed! i only have a fc so far, so unfortunately i can't help yet with thoughts, but i was planning on having her be in her 30s or 40s

alpha
yeah, absolutely! this was in the works ages ago but other tasks stacked up and it's just now becoming something i can work on again. this was going to be europa messaging sapphira about her father's death and trying (and failing) to pin the blame on the delacroixs for the fun of it
and so the drama unfolds :D
btw, juliette would hate lacey because well… she just would XD
