[info]acuportwo: 3. The Empress: Eve Westerveldt

Because that bitch says she's first even though her card isn't.

Eve Nazar was married young to Emperor Kingston Westerveldt. She's the sister of Adelle and Caden. She's the mother of Varvenis, Malcolm, Christoph, Louis, and Elizabeth.

Her politics differ slightly from her husband, but she's still HBIC

HBIC INDEED. Varvenis is loyal to Kingston, but I think he'd be very torn if Eve and Kingston disagreed on something. Mom is not to be fucked with! Bariah doesn't like her, but knows better than to say it or show it. Orché trained her in the forbidden arts, right?

[info]acuportwo: Re: 3. The Empress: Eve Westerveldt

YES! She knows the forbidden arts, but this is a super secret.

Elizabeth adores her mother. There should be much plotting. She probably had Liam spend a lot of time with her when he was younger to try to teach him magic-y things.

Eve says the only ones who know she does magic are Orche and Adelle. Kingston might know, but she'd have his balls in a vice if he told anyone else.

But yes, she'd definitely try to get Elizabeth a better standing/a kingdom of her own.

SO, Christoph is indifferent toward his father but that shit is definitely going to hit the fan when the truth comes out. As for Eve, I think she has rubbed him the wrong way for quite some time now.

Odilia plays nice with Eve so that Christoph doesn't have to (or at least takes the brunt of the bitch-tastic-ness for him) otherwise he'd lose his temper REAL quick.

Kaspar has a real boner for Grandma. Hanne and Hilde are drawn to her (probably because of her powers). Ottilie idolizes her. Nadia wants to replace her. And Cecilia wants to punch her in the throat until she dies miserably.

[info]acuportwo: 2. The High Priestess: Adelle Nazar

Adelle is the younger sister of Eve and Caden. Trained by the Prophetess Orche, though her visions eventually drove her mad. Eve is trying to marry her off. She might be too mad for any actual friends.

Orché knows her, clearly! I could offer Khiresh as a sort-of friend? She would find Adelle's visions invaluable information if she could figure out just what the fuck she was on about.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 09:46 am (UTC)
[info]acuportwo

Adelle could use a friend, even one who's using her!

[info]staveitoff: Re: 2. The High Priestess: Adelle Nazar

I think Hanne is Adelle reincarnated (even though Adelle is still alive) - she definitely received the same deranged genes.

Odilia wants to take her into her own care.

Subira has seen and met her only once - it was love at first sight.

Victor would have married her but... well, shit maybe he still would.

[info]acuportwo: 4. The Emperor: Kingston Westerveldt

Kingston is the husband of Eve, father of Varvenis, Malcolm, Christoph, Louis, and Elizabeth. He's Alistair's brother.

He may have killed his son Malcolm who was becoming too powerful/challenged his rule too much. I wouldn't put it past him to kill anyone else.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 09:13 am (UTC)
[info]allpentup

Varvenis is loyal to his father and if he ever heard about him having killed Malcolm he wouldn't believe it. There would be a major crisis if he was ever presented with irrefutable proof, though. Bariah is not stupid enough to express any desire to challenge him, but she'd kind of like him and his brothers to hurry up and die so she can push for Varvenis to be Emperor. I suspect he could hold great sway over the Ayatollah if he should so choose to meddle in Pentacleon affairs.

[info]cutyouificould: 4. The Emperor: Kingston Westerveldt

Louis is not a huge fan. Neither is Elizabeth but for different reasons. Elizabeth feels completely slighted that she wasn't given a kingdom though in her opinion she could have done better than some of her brothers. She also feels like it was his fault her bb daddy died.

Alistair wants to plot against him but he's never had the luck in successfulness.

[info]staveitoff: Re: 4. The Emperor: Kingston Westerveldt

It's obvious that Christoph (and the other brothers... AND sister) have their suspicions. Christoph needs but a sliver of truth to outright challenge his father... until then he puts up with him when he has to.

Victor is obviously his fucking lapdog. Kingston could quite possibly be the one person that annoys Nadia MORE than her husband. KASPAR WANTS TO BE HIM; KINGSTON = GOD.

[info]acuportwo: 12. The Hanged Man: Caden Nazar

Caden is the brother of Eve and Adelle. He's been married a couple of times (to npcs and actual characters) and has a few children. He's the family fuck up.

Varvenis's favourite uncle! Faiz hints she may have entertained him on a visit to the Pentacles?

Tue, Jun. 7th, 2011 12:34 pm (UTC)
[info]staveitoff: Re: 12. The Hanged Man: Caden Nazar

Christoph doesn't have the patience for his antics. Odilia will chat with him here and there so that Caden doesn't pick up on Christoph's distaste for him.

Hanne and Hilde find him absolutely hysterical (the one thing they both agree on) and have always loved hearing his stories ever since they were little.

Kaspar wants to play with his insides just for fun. Nadia can't stand up and prefers to be at least 20 feet away from him at all times. Finnarch and Victor like being around him because it makes them feel better about their own lives.

[info]acuportwo: 15. The Devil: Azrael Seward

Father of Fiona and Leopold (Butters Stotch) Seward. He serves as wartime general and executioner for the Emperor, depending on what the Emperor needs.

Acquaintance of Khiresh, maybe? I don't think Varvenis likes or trusts him much.

Tue, Jun. 7th, 2011 12:39 pm (UTC)
[info]staveitoff: Re: 15. The Devil: Azrael Seward

Victor has a man-crush on him. Finnarch tries to never miss any of his executions though he's barely talked to him.

Mariele is terrified of him. Kaspar admires him.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 05:27 am (UTC)
[info]acuportwo: 16. The Tower: Fiona Seward

Daughter of Azrael and sister to Leopold.

She's a silky court menace, working her way around the rooms to find a suitable match or simply to stir up trouble. She may have had her fiance killed during the war to avoid marrying him. She'll be on the lookout for lovers and other bitches to mix it up with.

[info]allpentup

AUGUST WOULD GO THERE. Khan Vidal is very suspicious of her motives (she just MOVES like she's up to something). Bariah might like her as a part of the Scheming Bitches Club? Khiresh has a curious eye on her. Orché sees great and terrible things. Ráimundr would know her if she schemes with Alex.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 03:57 pm (UTC)
[info]cutyouificould: 16. The Tower: Fiona Seward

Lily and Kohaku likes this bitch, she's got style. Alex and Sam probably got mixed up with her when they were younger.

Pascal says whats up?

[info]staveitoff: Re: 16. The Tower: Fiona Seward

Nadia + Fiona 4EVER.

Hilde thinks she's a cool bitch. Amara would totally gossip with her.

Vreni doesn't care for her. Victor, Finnarch, Subira, Kaspar all want to fuck her brains out.
