Tobias Pembroke

Requested by Chelsey · Associated with Euphemia Pembroke
30s · Male · English · Apothecary
FC: Daniel Sharman · Negotiable
Relationship: Family
Requested by Chelsey · Associated with Euphemia Pembroke

Tobias Pembroke comes from a family of brilliant minds but has often found himself dimming his own light a little bit in order to fit in. While his younger sister went across Europe to pursue multiple academic degrees and claw her way closer to being recognized as a doctor, Tobias followed after her as watchful guardian and dry-humored confidant. His interests were not far removed from hers (or that of his father), and he worked hard to find the time to seek out apprenticeships that would allow him to learn more about pharmacology and medicine in a way that felt more grounded in practice than the theoretical restrictions his sister faced. What he’s unlikely to admit, however, is that being an apothecary gives Toby just another reason to stay connected to his sister within the scope of her world, preparing small tinctures to alleviate some of her milder symptoms and bonding over plants and their medicinal benefits. The pair of them have been inseparable much of their lives, but now that Euphemia is back in London and finding her own footing, Tobias yearns to spread his wings and explore life as his own man (at least … part of the time).

Whether he can actually handle the freedom without losing himself to it remains to be seen, but if he’s anything like the rest of his family, there’s little that Tobias Pembroke can’t do once he sets his mind to it.

William Rourke

Requested by Angel Moore West · Associated with Enzo Esposito
Late 30s · Male · Irish · Veteran
FC: Adam Driver · Negotiable
Relationship: Romance
Requested by Angel Moore West · Associated with Enzo Esposito

The “too bleak of an urban legend” man among the alleys of London, William Rourke, is a born and bred Irishman from a farmer family. A “victim” of his inner and uncontrollable rage since his childhood, he only found his place in the world once he left the meadow behind. William’s rage came in handy for the British Army. Enlisted, he fought the Perak War (1875–1876) and the Anglo-Zulu War (1879); the stories from this period birthed his ethos. Merciless, firm, and bloodthirsty, William was the perfect soldier; his ruthless performance earned him the ranking of Captain.

On London’s streets he was all vain but had a funny and surprisingly decent side. Also, William was a known big spender, frequent gambler, and guest at brothels; he earned another ranking… Devourer of pussies. Yet, all came crashing down. After the British’s defeat (and William’s too) during the First Boer War (1880–1881), he turned into a man with no decency or morality.

Tales of his violent outbursts, drunkenness, debt, and overly cruel sexual practices ran through London like fire; some rumors say he killed a young woman during “action.” All respectable places—and the unrespectable too—barred him from entering. The devourer of pussies had to turn to men to satisfy his urges, but even Maggie’s barred him. A pariah, a tragedy, a shadow of a man, William has been relegated to the city’s outskirts, living among London’s criminal underbelly. Can even the most heartless be redeemed? Does he even want to?

Requested by Konsintrate · Associated with Giovanni de Mura

Moira is a well respected member of high society and married to a well-loved and respected man, the Director of the London Opera. How involved she is in that work is up to you.

Lucien King

Mid 20s · Male · British-French · Gentleman/Business owner
FC: Jordan Bolger · Negotiable
Relationship: Familial
Requested by Louie · Associated with Darius King

Lucien, known as Lux among his peers, embodies a captivating blend of charm and recklessness. His ambition drives him to pursue his desires with fervor, yet he often struggles to maintain his composure, teetering on the edge of impulsivity and emotional outbursts. Despite this volatility, he possesses an undeniable talent for captivating a crowd, his silver tongue effortlessly weaving words that could sway even the coldest individuals to his favor. Lux knows how to command attention and inspire loyalty, even as he navigates the tumultuous waters of his own emotions as a young gentleman. The type to know a man, that knows a man, and so on- his connections vary far and wide, from the dirty slums of the east end, to the grand luxury of the upper-class.

Lucien King, playfully referred to as “Lucy” among his siblings, embodies a complex duality. While he is adored in high society for his charm, he grapples with feelings of inadequacy as he constantly finds himself compared to his accomplished eldest brother. The recent passing of their father has intensified his need to prove himself, fueling a quiet frustration that gnaws at him. At the forefront of his aspirations stands The Silver Bullet, a prestigious bar and club he opened just over a year ago in the vibrant east end, even as his father’s health declined. Lucien is fiercely determined to make this establishment thrive, attracting a diverse and eclectic clientele that reflects his vision. However, the challenges of managing such a venture weigh heavily on him, and he is acutely aware that maintaining its success amidst potential troubles is a precarious balancing act.

Estelle King

Requested by Louie · Associated with Darius King
26 · Female · British-French · Gentlewoman
FC: Layla Keating · Negotiable
Relationship: Familial
Requested by Louie · Associated with Darius King

Estelle has her brothers completely wrapped around her little finger, delighting in the chaos they create, especially when it comes to her impulsive twin, Lucien. With a confident flair and a clever wit, she navigates her world with the ease of being the one and only to have been spoiled by their father, basking in the knowledge that she can do no wrong in his eyes. This adoration has only fueled her ambitions, as she sets her sights on a grand career in the arts—be it singing, dancing, or playing music. After all, with a name that means “Star,” it’s only fitting that she shines brightly in whatever endeavor she chooses.

An extrovert at heart, Estelle possesses a playful deviousness that adds a touch of mischief to her charm, making her the life of any gathering. Her brother Darius, in particular, finds himself at most ease around her out of his siblings, and the two share a bond that is both teasing and supportive. Estelle has been raised by governesses her whole life, but that’s never stopped her from asking and learning about the woman her mother had been, and perhaps that’s what sparked her passion from an early age.

Sebastián King

Requested by Louie · Associated with Character Name
22 · Male · British-French · Gentleman
FC: Kit Young · Negotiable
Relationship: Familial
Requested by Louie · Associated with Darius King

Sebastián, affectionately known as Bash to his friends and family, embodies the essence of a young gentleman. An artist at heart, he always carries a notebook and pen tucked beneath his coat, ready for whenever the muse may strike. His kindness is both his greatest virtue and his most significant flaw; it often veers into naiveté. With an upbeat attitude, Bash eagerly pursues new experiences and adventures, though his enthusiasm sometimes leads him to stumble over the very steps he overlooked along the way.

Despite being the youngest of four, he wasn’t given as much pampering as one would expect. Instead, his childhood was spent shuffling from one governess to another, along with his older twins, Lucien and Estelle. From a young age, Bash had carried guilt for a crime he didn’t commit: his mother’s death. And through the years, that nagging feeling only festered against his father’s stoicism, and his eldest brother’s, Darius, apparent avoidance. But all this is about to change with the passing of his father and his brother’s arrival home to claim the title of a baron.
