[info]acuportwo: Cups

THE HOUSE OF CUPS

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 05:32 am (UTC)
[info]acuportwo: 2 of cups: Aiko Westerveldt Nazim

Newly married Aiko is the wife of Harith Nazim. She is the daughter of Queen Emi and King Malcolm. She's the oldest of four daughters which puts her in a tenuous situation for the crown of cups.

She's technically the Queen of Cups since her wedding, but with her husband a fugitive from his new kingdom, her mother has retained the throne.

[info]allpentup

Sister in law of Khan Nazim Arif and Nahema al-Dinar! They will be allies and friends. Hideki is available for friendsness, but she could never mean as much to him as his bb girl Rikku.

[info]cutyouificould: 2 of cups: Aiko Westerveldt Nazim

Rikku probably tries to get her to relax and have tea with her in the garden though Rikku should probably be freaking out as well seeing as though there's a fifty/fifty chance her bb is a boy xD

Cousin Yumi is too in her own world to even know why she's concerned.

Jung likes her and feels for her situation. Victor would bang her as a last resort. Nadia thinks she is a moron and can't wait for someone to whack her and her mother. Vreni would totally hang out with her and they could be miserable together.

[info]acuportwo: 4 of cups: Dastun Kimura

Dastun is a retired knight and former leader of the cups armed forces. He has one son, Isamu.

I'm not sure I have much to offer here! Perhaps he and Orché knew each other in their youth (all those millennia ago?)

[info]acuportwo: 5 of cups: Pearl

Pearl is the handmaiden of the Empress.

Pearl has no "known" relations. And the big secret about Pearl is that she is a "he." He's been in drag and in hiding since the start of the war. Where he's really from and who he's really hiding from, I don't even know.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 09:26 am (UTC)
[info]allpentup

Pearl would be known to the Pents royals from when the Empress's entourage comes to visit. Ebi finds her odd but can't put her finger on why. Mari is all up in her face about helping her fabulousify her wardrobe.

[info]acuportwo: 7 of cups: Yukiko Westerveldt Shin

Daughter of Malcolm and Emi. Being the third born she's furthest away from the throne. She's married to Jung Shin who she views as mostly useless.

She's as grasping as Fiona Seward and seeking machinations to better position herself within the court.

[info]allpentup

I think Bariah can be down with this bitch. Khiresh isn't necessarily suspicious of her, but is curious about everyone so she might dig a little if anything interesting comes to her notice. Hideki can't stand her, but likes her husband.

Tue, Jun. 7th, 2011 12:59 pm (UTC)
[info]staveitoff: Re: 7 of cups: Yukiko Westerveldt Shin

Jung lover her but her cold shoulder has left him with no other course of action but to just simply ignore her and the problems they might have.

Nadia says: "GIRLS NIGHT OUT BITCHES!!"

Amara would probably try to gossip with her and fail miserably. Victor would probably try to sleep with her and fail miserably. Kaspar would probably try to propose to her and fail miserably.

Odilia is oblivious to the evil that oozes out of her and actually enjoys chatting with her at social events. Mariele thinks Sascha has the hots for her and has never liked her.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 05:51 am (UTC)
[info]acuportwo: Page of cups: Ume Tanaka

Sister of Midori Tanaka (npc) and apprentice of the Knight.

She will fight to the end for the honor of the house of cups.

Not sure about this one. Ideas?

Tue, Jun. 7th, 2011 01:02 pm (UTC)
[info]staveitoff: Re: Page of cups: Ume Tanaka

Jung adores her. He wants to hang out with her ALL the time (he is SUCH a closet case). Subira has the hots for her and would propose to her on the spot if Ume looked at her the right way.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 05:55 am (UTC)
[info]acuportwo: Knight of cups: Isamu Kimura

Son of Dastun. Surrogate father to Ume Tanaka. He's the current head of the cups army.

Has a bastard daughter Hyun Hale by the deceased brothel entertainer Nimue Hale, though he believes the child died at birth.

[info]allpentup

Khans Vidal and Nazim are aware of him if not actually acquainted, and they hold him in great esteem as a warrior.

Tue, Jun. 7th, 2011 01:06 pm (UTC)
[info]staveitoff: Re: Knight of cups: Isamu Kimura

Jung looks up to him and gets along with him well (I think he might have a crush on him SHHH). Odilia has a mini secret crush on him as well and gets all flustered when he talks to her.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 05:56 am (UTC)
[info]acuportwo: Queen of cups: Emi Sato Westerveldt

Widow of Malcolm and mother to four daughters.

Emi is holding her kingdom together from Kingston's encroachment, though her grip on the cups is tenuous with the recent emotional turmoil.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 09:33 am (UTC)
[info]allpentup

Varvenis is not unfavourably disposed towards his former sister in law. The princesses (especially Ebilene) admire her a great deal. Bariah doesn't give a shit. Hideki is loyal to his Queen (who's a BAMF in his opinion, just let her rule).

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 04:42 pm (UTC)
[info]cutyouificould: Queen of cups: Emi Sato Westerveldt

Louis and Elizabeth have so much respect for this woman. Yumi loves her aunt, she tries not to make too much trouble for her.

Emi might need to smack Rikku back into reality.

Tue, Jun. 7th, 2011 01:10 pm (UTC)
[info]staveitoff: Re: Queen of cups: Emi Sato Westerveldt

Odilia absolutely adores Emi - she is definitely one of her favorites. Vreni also likes her but is almost a touch jealous of her and Odilia's relationship.

Jung would do anything for his mother-in-law. Again, Nadia hopes somebody offs her like they offed her husband.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 05:58 am (UTC)
[info]acuportwo: King of cups: Emir Nazim Harith

Harith is the brother of Khan Nazim Arif. He was hand chosen by the Emperor to marry Aiko Westerveldt and temper the house of cups with some good old pents stoicism.

He's currently a fugitive king in need of some allies and enemies.

Wed, Jun. 1st, 2011 09:37 am (UTC)
[info]allpentup

Nazim Arif and Nahema are always his allies (so can we please not get in a Cups-Pents war, that would seriously be bad for Arif). They'll help him out in his exile if they're able. Varvenis can't know that he's about still, or he'd have him returned to Cups immediately. GO RULE YOUR KINGDOM, Y U KEEP YOUR QUEEN WAITING BRO? SRS. I don't think Khiresh knows of his whereabouts (though I imagine that frustrates her). Hideki says that's far too handsome a man to be in hiding.

Tue, Jun. 7th, 2011 01:16 pm (UTC)
[info]staveitoff: Re: King of cups: Emir Nazim Harith

Finn has got his back for selfish reasons (because if the Cups crumble that puts the Pents one step up on the food chain) but he's got his back nevertheless.

Jung would beat the snot out of him (in Aiko's honor) if he got the chance. Tse thinks he's super cool and would totally go to a bar with him (yes, the ten year old is a total drunk).

Nadia thinks he's a douche but would totally have hate sex with him. Victor thinks he's a bigger joke than Caden.
