[LoveByLetters]

Macaire Draughn

Often Found
Macaire spends his daylight hours working as a guard for a jewel merchant, busily looking intimidating and frowning meaningfully at people who try to cheat him. He lives above a bakeshop that specializes in delicate, expensive pastries for the wealthy, "guarding" it merely by living there. When he is not either of these places he is often sneaking off to train the ever-excitable Cadence or buying Cadence flowers to eat. In quieter times he loves to read, write, and catalog bits of songs he feels reflects the strange people of Sunderland, but of late has had little time for such pleasantries, devoting a larger share of his time to providing for Cadence.

Opportunities
He's drawn by Chosen and their Guardians, and interested especially in those that genuinely believe that the wolves are coming. He enjoys children and will often speak to them, and most certainly will step up to protect them if the need arises. He is awkward and respectful around nobles and generally won't approach them unless he's called to do so.

He can be caught practicing with Cadence .. or chasing him down the street, shouting curses. Hedgewitches make him a little nervous, and he treats them as he would nobles, with an excess of respect no matter their age or status. He can always be counted on to help others with training with their Guardians for what he believes is an eventual and inevitable war.

The Dreaming
Cadence is a little loony. He loves and trusts everyone. ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE. He acts like he's been hopped up on sugar all the time. When he grows up, he'll be able to preform his duties with a thin veneer of seriousness -- in truth, he is serious about them, but he just doesn't see the need to act solemn. At the moment, though, he's just a big silly.

Breeding the Loony
YES PLEASE. I can't imagine I'd refuse anyone for a pairing, really.  

[LoveByLetters]

The Friedrichs

Often Found
The Freds run a tavern that borders between the rougher and the nicer districts, in an area of other cookshops / taverns. There are no crimes on their street; they won't allow it. They can often be found in dark and shadowy places, cutting deals, breaking into places, or making payments / drops where required. Rarely they leave the city to meet with family, but it doesn't happen often.

Opportunities
They can be caught turning their hand at thieving, or giving someone a shakedown or a beating for attempting something they don't like. Recently they've learned to be especially wary of Chosen and their Guardians as well as hedgewitches and their familiars. Those down on their luck can go to the Freds for shady employment opportunities, and the Freds are always on the lookout for anything interesting (that they can make money off of).

The Freds are well-known amongst the lower class as smugglers -- they are admired by the people on their street for keeping order, and regarded as fair by most criminals in that they only give out beatings where it's deserved. Though they are the point men for a large smuggling operation, they are regarded in some quarters as being rather young and foolish; true assassins, spies, and criminal overlords would probably find them cute and bumbling.

The Dreaming
Unwelcome is still very young, but will probably be suspicious of others from a very early age, and as given to thieving and showing up where he's not wanted as he is in the waking world.

Breeding
I am open to suggestions!  

[LoveByLetters]

Harmon

Often Found
At his brothel, mostly. He dislikes leaving it, but now and then visits the lower markets looking for trinkets and clothing for his girls. He is rarely without Whsst, and if he's outside of the brothel, he is almost never without him.

Opportunities
Though he rarely leaves his brothel, he does actively recruit girls for it -- he thinks of it as "rescuing" them and rarely takes them in if they don't agree that it is a rescue. Physical attractiveness especially appeals to him, and though he is personally only attracted to women he can also be drawn out by rumors of attractive men, since he is aware that that would appeal to certain clients.

Alternatively, anyone visiting his brothel would meet Harmon for the first time before they are allowed access to any of his girls. It is Harmon who makes the pairings, and Harmon who interferes if there is ever trouble. Merchants of pretty baubles are often welcomed, and hedgewitches are even more welcomed should their talents lie within the realms of luck or healing.

 

[LoveByLetters]

Rosemarie Tumbriel

Often Found
Marie is a budding socialite -- she loves parties and social gatherings and rather dislikes being alone at any time. Fortunately, in a city like Palisade there is almost always something that she can go to; a tea, a show, a card game, a party .. she is especially drawn to any event which might have eligible bachelors in attendance. When not out and about she is often attending in a distracted way to household duties or with much more attention, repairing or remaking a well-coordinated outfit. She loves everything girly, and often browses shops without buying, just to look and see what's in fashion.

Opportunities
Marie is on the hunt for a husband, and as such especially drawn to attractive young men known to be single. Money is an even bigger draw than physical attractiveness -- the richer he is the more she'll put up with, to the extent that she'd be perfectly satisfied with a much older man with an extensive fortune. For those without money but plenty of good looks and charm, Marie also enjoys temporary flings and brief affairs, and is very quietly rumored to be especially skilled between the sheets. She loves flirting, pretty things, and thinks Guardians are just big adorable fluffy things that exist for her to coo over.

The Dreaming
Rules, authority, and proper behavior does not suit Aramis well, even from a young age. He is given to pranks, flippant responses, and rash behavior; impressing others is a favorite activity of his. His handsome coat with its beautifully contrasting colors is also something of which he is very proud, so he is fond of bathing and grooming.

Breeding
I have my eye on someone at the moment, but it's always worth an asking .. x3  

[LoveByLetters]

Ivon Skelet

Often Found
On especially cold or rainy nights, Ivon finds a warm pub and does not leave until he's kicked out. He hates being cold, and likes being wet about the same. During the shady working hours in the late evening, he can be found in the worst parts of town, either employed as or seeking opportunities to work as hired muscle.

Opportunities
Of late, Ivon has found an opportunity to exploit the recent rumors of wolves in the far forests, and has undertaken to become a seller of an exclusive, almost fantastical item. However, some care is necessary to provide it to the proper market, and to that end there are several important things that he needs .. he may visit any number of small shops, stopping for meals in lesser cookshops. Once he is ready he will start knocking on the servants entrances of great homes, dressed in a fine suit and with a marvelous box tucked under one arm.  

[LoveByLetters]

Georgios Grimm

Often Found
Georgie is supposed to spend most of her time at the tavern that her brothers own and operate in the city, helping keep the books there and spending the daylight hours on her studies. In truth, for the most part she follows them around, sneaks away from them, and in general spends most of her time getting into mischief wherever she can.

Opportunities
At the moment, the Freds are desperately looking for something to keep their sibling busy -- an apprenticeship, a tutor, or a safe place for her to spend her day. On her own, Georgie is likely to get involved in anything that looks interesting, whether it's glass-blowing, a street-fight, or a game of cards. Despite her youth, she's actually quite good at most games of chance.

 

[LoveByLetters]

Lisette Talico

Often Found
Lisette spends most of her time in the occupation she loves best: throwing parties, attending parties, and preparing for parties. She can also be found pursuing the activities common to young ladies of her status; shopping, managing her household, or visiting friends for tea. Her Guardian is often brought with her to tea, and occasionally while she shops, but rarely to the more elaborate parties, such events not being to Moira's tastes.

Opportunities
It should be noted that the set of people of whom Lisette is most fond is young women -- she likes to think of herself as a sort of tutor to the ways of mastering society, and frequently takes young, pretty women under her wing, particularly those of middling status. Those in the lower classes she snatches up and places under her employ, doing her best to encourage them to be as outspoken as herself. Anyone who compliments her Guardian is like to get her attention, and she is drawn particularly to cleverness rather than physical attractiveness.
