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.

Lucien King

Requested by Louie · Associated with Darius 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.

Harold Hastings

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Cicilia Fitzroy
Mid-30s · Male · English/French · Baron Hastings
FC: Fabien Frankel · Non-Negotiable
Relationship: Family, enemy
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Cicilia Fitzroy

When Baron Thomas Hastings married Cicilia Morgan, his two grown sons were caught unaware and in utter disbelief. Their new step-mother, wed not long after the death of their own dear Mama, was a mere few years their senior! Well, from the first instance the trio never quite saw eye to eye despite Cicilia’s efforts to try and save what was left — after all, it was quite obvious that her choice of husband had never been their father, and it was to be insisted upon that Thomas Hastings was not the nice, loving kind of man one would hope for. When his father died, Harold chose to marry quickly in order to abandon the Baroness to the Dowager title, Harold made his plans to push his step-mother into her brother’s arms instead (to Wales, in fact, far away from the Hastings foothold). They have barely seen one another since, but it is said that she has claimed to push for her son’s inheritance, and now that she has pulled the strings of a man’s heart she may call herself a Duchess! Harold will fight tooth and nail to keep her from his family name, but even then, he is just a man. His friends say he is Exciting, Genuine & Punctual. Cicilia claims he is Childish, Crafty & Difficult.

Alexander Findley

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley
Late 20s · Male · English · Actor
FC: Joey Batey · Non-Negotiable
Relationship: Family
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley

When they were very little, Alexander and Felicité were mostly always alone. Left to their own devices, they would entertain one another with plays and stories, acting out the passages left to the children’s nursery. Where Felicité treated such a pastime as simply playing with her brother, Alexander fell dreadfully in love. Though it was their father’s preference that his daughters see beyond the confines of social expectation, it was Alexander who took such a lesson to head. He would beg his parents to take him to the Oxford theatres, in which he watched visiting troupes perform anything from new scripts to Shakespearian tales. His mother was distressed by her son’s whimsical nature, his father even more so since the boys were meant to follow a more academic path like his own! So, what happened? As his sisters escaped the nest by means of marriage (or in Fi’s arrangement, education), Alexander was forced to contend with expectation. Though he went to school and was known for his moderate intelligence, Alexander would give most of his time to the arts, to the point in which he was known locally as an actor. Some years ago, Alexander joined his sister Felicité and Evangeline’s household to try and find work as an actor in London, and with some pinch of success (the amount, how and where is UTP) Alexander has worked on the stage — to the point that he now rents a home of his own in the city. Success is for the taking, but can he truly stand the disappointment of his father? The fans call him Earnest, Sympathetic & Passionate. The critics claim him as Boisterous, Provocative & Vulnerable.

Evangeline Brewster

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley
Late 20s · Female · English · Photographer
FC: Eve Hewson · Non-Negotiable
Relationship: Family
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley

Evangeline was always rebellious. Having watched her older siblings push the boundaries, there was very little that Evangeline had to do to get what she wanted, which left the gates wide open to misinterpretation. As her mother tried to wrangle what control she had over her daughters, Evangeline dodged all influence to find herself quickly made an adult in the eyes of men. As one brother became a successful businessman, another a prospective doctor, Evangeline was left to watch her older sister find fortune in the arms of a politician. Well, what was Evangeline meant to do? Before she had time to decide what she wanted from life, as was the luck of being a Findley child, Evangeline set her eyes on a neighbour instead. Like her mother before her, she got married without much thought or planning, and moved with him to London where they set up a grand, gothic household in Highgate. Her husband was a sailor, a man who had been a figure of convenience, and was sent to guide men up the Irrawaddy River during the third Anglo-Burmese War in 1885. By his disappearance, and officially claimed death, Evangeline was forced into mourning… Alas, the transition was not a poor one, for with his inheritance and a house all of her own, Evangeline invested in her own hobbies and passions, which evolved into an almost obsession with the new found arts of photography. Now, in 1883, Evangeline’s younger sister Felicité moved into her Highgate home after her education in Paris, and lived in the house till 1887. The two sisters (along with their younger brother) are the closest of the group, mostly because their youth was left to the wilds, and their twinned creativity leads all else. She is Persuasive, Challenging & Daring… Though she can also be Hasty, Blunt & Troublesome.

Thomas Findley

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley
Early 30s · Male · English · Physician at Bethlem Royal Hospital & Teacher
FC: Nicholas Galitzine · Non-Negotiable
Relationship: Family
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley

Tommy has always been deadly serious compared to his siblings, and has followed more closely to the path of that of his mother. Having been quite ill when he was younger, to the point of almost failing to come out the other end, Annabella Findley held her second born son close. Racked with colds and flus, Thomas was cherished and found that most of his delights were found in the safe comfort of the family home’s library that was filled floor to ceiling with rich tombs of knowledge. Though he was not influenced to study Physics by his father, Thomas became enamored with other sciences. As was the case with each of the Findley children, Thomas was afforded a rich education, and was accepted into the prestigious halls of Oxford University where he studied Biology, a few rooms away from his father’s own lectures. He moved to London a few years ago to teach at St Mary’s Hospital and the School of Medicine for Women, till 1888, in which he (alongside his other positions) was made a physician at Bethlem Royal Hospital. Thomas also thinks he can fix his youngest sister’s melancholic deposition with hypnotherapy, but neither have embarked on that route just yet. His peers and friends have said that he is Thorough, Empathetic & Honest… Though others claim him to be Obsessive, Irritable & Single-Minded.

Beatrice Frell

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley
Early 30s · Female · English · Gentlewoman
FC: Dakota Johnson · Non-Negotiable
Relationship: Family
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley

Beatrice’s upbringing was mostly beneath the care of her mother, Annabella. And yet, where her mother pushed Beatrice to look to advancement and proper etiquette, her father (David) often tried to splinter the relationship so his first born daughter may look elsewhere for fulfillment. As such, her relationship with her mother is strained yet the one with her father is forgiving. Afforded a fine education, Beatrice is known for her inherited beauty and quick wit, which indeed led her into the arms of a charming politician. Now known widely as the wife of a powerful man, Beatrice resides in London (where? Entirely UTP, as long as it is befitted of an Upper-Middle class household) and practises her well tuned act of hosting and socialising as a prim socialite of the season. Her own advancement has led the Paulets, her maternal relations, to even extend invitations to their social balls and has as such given rise to Beatrice’s place in the world. It is UTP if she has children, or if she is still married and what that relationship is like. She is celebrated for her Resourceful, Witty and Ambitious characteristics. Though it is to be minded that she can be Non-Committal, Compulsive and Money-Minded above all else.

Alderose Kinkade

Requested by Keaton · Associated with Augustus Kinkade
Late 20s-Mid 30s · Female · English · Gentlewoman
FC: Riley Keough · Non-Negotiable
Relationship: Family (Cousin)
Requested by Keaton · Associated with Augustus Kinkade

All of Gust’s favorite relations are female cousins, and Alderose sits at the tippy-top of the list. Born of an ill-advised love match and raised to be a free spirit, she is probably some kind of artist or musician. She and her mother are ignored by the broader family when they aren’t outright shunned, but it is Gust who holds the title, and Gust adores them both. I’m very open to personal details, so long as she’s a bit of a hippie and is smart as a whip. Oh, and please don’t call her Rosie for the sake of my own mental confusion. FC is non-negotiable, sorry! (Elvis’ granddaughter; don’t know why it didn’t occur before!)
