    35 | Suggested FC: Domnhall Gleeson

    August never felt as if he truly fit in to the revolutionary worldview of his family. He has lived his own life, apart from them, until he was so unceremoniously dragged into the spotlight he hates for a marriage to a stranger. That stranger happened to be Princess Eleanor. His mother, Orla, believed it was an opportunity she could not pass up when the proposition was brought to her attention. Dreams of serving others as a doctor dashed, he reluctantly acquiesced--for what else could he do? August could not run from his destiny as a FitzGerald forever.

    Since the wedding, he's noticed Eleanor is clearly unhappy. Though August didn't expect it to be all rainbows and fireworks, he never could have predicted how miserable it would be. Though respectful and kind (just as his mother taught him to be), he doesn't see the point in making a great effort. So far, his marriage to Eleanor has not been consummated. Out of respect, he keeps a sensible distance from his wife, living more like roommates than spouses. Will this state of affairs remain so? Or is there a chance that this arranged marriage might yet bear fruit? This is an open-ended plot. The players will decide where this leads.

    Must Know Details About August:
    • Member of the FitzGerald family
    • Married Princess Eleanor spring of 2022, not of his own choice
    • Worked in healthcare, specialization to be decided by the player

    John de Vere, heir to the Earldom of Oxford
    Family info & canon page here.

    37 | Suggested FC: Ben Barnes

    John De Vere is a walking paradox. On the one hand, he's the picture perfect representation of all that his father could have ever wanted in a son and heir; on the other, he's a man of many secrets - his own, those of others, and might even stumble upon a few more if he wanted to.

    But is this power something he truly wanted? Or perhaps something he settled for in the same way he settled for his job, settled for his wife, settled for their amicable situation, settled for simply complying with all the things to secure his father's appreciation and admiration - but is there something John de Vere truly wants for himself aside from peace and making sure no one kicks the hornet's nest?

    If you'd like to get deep into feels about destiny and personhood, hypocritical scenarios, daddy issues, and expectations, questions about freedom to be oneself and the price one's willing pay for it, and perhaps the consequence of hitching his wagon to the mess that is the Stuart Royal family, this is your guy.

    Must knows:
    • He is best friends with King Alexander since childhood, and has a pretty quiet affair with Princess Aurora.
    • Knows his wife Henrietta Paget is gay af, supports her and her lover Isobel Maxwell wholeheartedly bc her duty (having kids) is considered done - BUUUT appearances matter. Nothing matters more to him than appearances. There is a lot that he demands of his wife, in order to seem like he has it all together and that he isn't being cuckolded.
    • Note: Henrietta knows nothing about John's affair with Aurora. It'd probs be real terrible if that news came out. -wink-wink-
    • Currently works for Defence Intelligence. Prefers to lead a quiet life, avoiding big events and attention.
