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.

Sterling Kildare

Editor at the London Review
Early 40s · Male
Played by Afflatus
FC: Tom Hiddleston
Played by Afflatus · Group: The London Review

With a given name as aspirational as “Sterling,” maybe it is no surprise that Kildare clawed his way from his working-class childhood into editor’s chair of a known, if struggling, London weekly. He navigates the Review with a keen mind and sharp eye, and is ruthless about what belongs in the paper and what doesn’t. The owner has insisted upon only truthful reporting, but Sterling knows, too, that the truth isn’t always what sells papers.

Julian Graves

Law Clerk
Mid-20s · Male
Played by Pyrate
FC: Evans Nikopoulos
Played by Pyrate

Obsession rules in Julian Graves’s life. He thrives on it. He molds his life around it, and when he is without a fixation, he struggles through the constant companion of an aimless inner turmoil.

Treat him well and he will adore you. Treat him badly, bully, tease, or humiliate him, and he will love you, a little too much.

Barty Redd

Police Sergeant, Division H – Whitechapel
Late 30s · Male
Played by Redcap
FC: Michael Fassbender
Played by Redc · Group: Scotland Yard

Barty Redd, a lawful neutral man, lives by his own set of laws that often diverge from the law he is sworn to enforce. He is a corrupt cop if ever there was one, out to make his way in the world. He frequents the pub life by night and gets into trouble by day. Those who know him would say he is a bit of a hot head with a short temper, but he means well. Always looking to meet new acquaintances…

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.

Edward Findley

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley
34 · Male · British · Owner of an upscale florists
FC: Jonathan Bailey · Non-Negotiable
Relationship: Family
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley

Born into a newly forged family, Edward was cherished from his very first breath, and was the child to pave the way to what the rest of the family knew as certain. Encouraged to take life by the horns, Edward (can be known as Eddy, Edd or Teddy) has always been beloved by all who know him. From friends to family, his charming manner has even led the young man to reach out to their maternal family who disowned his mother for marrying down! Still, Edward is crafty, and though he tends to put his family first he also yearns for a life of success and ease. Afforded a spectacular education in the middle of Oxford, Edward is the very epitome of the modern man. But nothing comes with ease. As the charming nephew to the prestigious and almost outrageously rich Paulets, Edward has managed to squeeze the generosity of his mother’s relations to his advantage, and has set up a florist shop of his own. Through monetary aid and his own intelligence (good investments and connections forged by a silver tongue) , Edward is known among the gentry and the working class alike. He is rumoured to be Eloquent, Self-Reliant & Heroic… though one shouldn’t overlook his Deceptive, Greedy & Uncharitable. Everything else is up to you!

Annabella Findley

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley
63 · Female · British · Housewife and Gentlewoman
FC: Kristen Scott-Thomas
Relationship: Family
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley

Born to the grand house of Paulet, Annabella was meant to have a life of the utmost luxury. All she had to do was toe the line, all she really had to contend with was an arranged marriage and a future decorated with a bounty of children. The thing was, she met David, and the rest was history. Uninherited and disposed of by her family for not only eloping without her parents’ approval but also for marrying a man far beneath her social class, Annabella put all her eggs into David’s basket. Quickly they had one child after another, and reluctantly she allowed her husband to urge each one to live life head-on, without restriction or judgement. Still, Annabella was raised within a particular set of rules, and was quietly horrified when her youngest daughter yearned to become a free-thinking artist and her youngest son wished to become something of an actor! It takes strength of spirit to survive such a transition, but has Annabella begun to regret her choices in life? Or will she continue to quietly be her husband’s steadfast support, despite the fact that his own attention seems to be waning? She is glamorous, intelligent & steadfast. But also she can be dishonest, shallow & unappreciative at times.

David Findley

Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley
60 · Male · English · Professor of Physics
FC: Dominic West
Relationship: Family
Requested by Velvet · Associated with Felicité Findley

Mr David Findley has lived and worked in Oxford his entire life, but in more recent years (since all of his children have flown the nest) he has extended his practice to the city where he teaches extra lectures and/or partakes in actual test studies. David met and married the older Annabella when he had been introduced to her father during a work study at the Paulet’s country manor. The two fell in love almost instantly, leaving them to elope and earn the rejection and exile from her family. Still, David came from an Upper-Middle class background, and quickly he taught his wife the new way of things. Soon after they had one child after another, and they have been exceedingly successful in raising their large brood of children to become independent, free-thinkers. David, in his golden years, has hopes to make a mark in the Science field however, and longs to practice what he preaches. Eager to follow his children into the city, David is the hearth to his family’s well being, and has recently chosen to rent out a townhouse in Islington. With an open heart, David is known to be kind, forgiving and open-minded but also restless, indulgent and crafty.
