Character's Name: Albert Eduard Graviil

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Nationality: Russian.

Appearance: This gentleman reminds you of a mysterious monolith. He has deep-set green eyes that are like two chunks of jade. His fine, wavy, amber hair is neck-length and is worn in a simple style, slicked back with a few strands in his face. He is slightly short compared to most and has a wide-chested tree trunk-ish build. His skin is cream-colored and hardly scarred or marred at all. He has a gaunt face with high cheek bones. His chin and jaw are well rounded and he has a fine roman nose. His wardrobe is practical for royalty, and is a mix of red and black. The clothing itself is a maroon red while the trimming is black.

His outfit begins with a well crafted maroon silk shirt, covered by a thick black wool vest, decorated with golden buttons with his family crest on it. Upon his waist begins his red wool pants, held up by a silken black and red weave sash. Upon his feet he wears a pair of finely crafted black shoes.

His mask is a full face mask, with only the mouth exposed. The decoration on the mask is grand and extravagant. The bottom color of the mask is dove white, over laired by a red and gold weave style pattern that encircles they eyes, covers the nose, and then moves to the cheeks to blossom into an dramatic picture of the Russian Bear.

Personality: Albert is inclined to choose luxurious things, which are gratifying to the senses. He is turned off by things which are tacky and tasteless to him.

His current problems are seen as dangerous and threatening. He is angry at the thought he will have to continually put off his own goals for the time being, leaving him feeling powerless to change things. He feels used, overwhelmed, and exhausted at the demands placed on him.

Albert tries to participate and involve himself in things going on around him; however, avoids conflict and arguments to reduce stress and tension. He feels he is carrying more than his share of problems. However he is flexible and laid back, sticking to his goals and working to overcome any difficulty. His current situation is leaving him doubtful and cautions about becoming intimately involved with others.

All he wishes to live in a calm, peaceful, relaxing environment, where everyone gets along and there is a strong sense of belonging. However a lack of energy leaves him unnoticed to pursue further activities or demands placed on him. He feels powerless which leaves him agitated and depressed. Tries to escape from his struggles by searching for peaceful and restful conditions in which to relax and recover in an atmosphere full of security.


History: (Working on it. )

There's a bit I need to work on. But here is my character mostly.

Excuse me; are you still accepting characters? If so, may I please reserve the spanish prince?

EDIT: Please don't mind my last post. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to partcipate in this RP; I feel that I would not be able to do the character justice. Maybe once I've matured a bit, and improved in my role-playling skills. :)) I apoligize.

Oh Dibs on King of France.

Un français se doit d'être le roi. ;)
King of Wackatopia: "I'll guarantee your safety, give you meaning, give you knowledge and something to believe in for the low cost of your personal freedom."

Fang: "Look at you, you're gorgeous, you're beautiful, and when i look into your beautiful eyes all I see is this magnificent elegant creature, full of grace, full of strength. You're mesmerizing. You're intoxicating. I want you near me. I want to indulge you."

Ryan: "If my survival means the death of innocents, then so be it"

Kyliden: "This one is strong. He's brave and takes what he needs. He's a better werewolf then i could ever wish to be."

Diego: "I can't control what i feel, querida mia. This spark will become a big lively fire. It will consume me, it will consume you and everyone around us, and once nothing is left, new life will spring eternal."

Wade: "She made me love her before she sired me. She wanted a companion, a friend, a lover to indulge her throughout the centuries. Her demise filled me with emptiness; she was to give me a purpose and now I'm alone."

Character's Name: Born Louis Auguste de France. Officially King Louis XVI

Age: 57 years old

Gender: Male

Nationality: Français

Appearance: He is a tall rugged piece of man: 6’2 and weighing 200 pounds. He has short well combed silver hair, dark brown eyes and shaved. His outfit for the night will be a golden vest with silver linings over a white silk shirt, matching pantaloons and delightful looking shoes. Various rings fit his royal fingers, his wedding band still among them.

Spoiler: click to toggle


Personality: The King of France is still a powerful presence both physically and mentally, somewhat. He was raised in the strictest of discipline and it showed. He is very stern and forthright. His rage is said to be legendary and truly refuses to back down, but he is not without reason. Though his eyes will reveal his mighty will, they also reveal a lack of energy. He is not the man he once was when he first wore that throne, his fire has dimmed.

He might forget the name of his daughters, their age, the Queen’s birthday but he never forgets his duty to the throne and to his people. When not on official duty, when finally he is able to relax… He can be happy and playful. Everyone one of his many children has had the opportunity to spend time with their father, albeit small. He followed their progress when he could. Since the war, the playful king has remained hidden deep within the mind of a still fighting king.

History: He was born and raised with the sole intention of being king. He was the first son of the previous King during a time of peace. He was taught geography; history, Spanish, German, Latin, grammar and he had various notions on sea warfare. He was trained both in mind and in body to be the next ruler under the divine grace of God himself.

He was given the responsibility of a big and powerful nation. He studied his father and began playing the political game at a very young age. In his young mind, he had to do everything he could or face the crushing disappointment of an entire nation. His first victory came when he met his Queen both at age 14, seducing her and convincing his father to arrange the wedding.

Little did the future king know that such action would create tension between France and England. He was meant to marry an English noble rather than the princess of Austria.

Louis XV died of natural illnesses and Louis Auguste de France became Louis XVI at the ripe age of 37. He had several already being born, most of them being princesses and the few males either dying of illness or assassinated though the biggest hit was when his Queen died. His mind began to wander and his spirit was starting to melt beneath that husk.

He still has one true male heir, luckily approved by the council and him beforehand.

One of his councils urged him to participate in a Masquerade taking place in Versailles. He enjoyed going to such events with his beloved Queen. It might be what he needed; to clear his head and mingle with the nobles. Such events always used to relax him, but this would be the first time since…

I had almost forgotten about this. I...still don't have a history. I suppose I can just make it up as I go along. It shouldn't be too hard. That is, if you don't mind of course.

Nope I don't mind, just don't go overboard.

I'll just say, Russia has a decent relationship with France. Others can decide if they have a decent relationship with you or not~

The La Masquerade (IC)

There is the IC, it is officially started. I know there isn't enough people, or matches to go around. So, I might, time to time, play some NPCs.

If there is any problem, or questions. PM. Thank you.

P.S Sorry for the sucky post. I got writers block.

I'm reading things now and will post once I'm caught up!
You don't only belong to yourself, you know. I doubt there is a single person in this world that belongs only to himself. When someone makes a connection there is always something shared. And so people will never be completely free. It's that which brings out fun, and sadness and love.

Name:Leonie Vandas

Nationality: The Princess of Austria

Age: 20 years

Appearance: She wears a white, shoulder-less dress, that has a ring of fine lace to wrap around her. Very thin, and almost starve, because the Austrian Kingdom had came to ruins under British troops, and being bullied by Russia and Germany for high taxes of imports, and taxes, the kingdom could not even feed the royal family these days. Living in poor conditions, she is rather sickly ill and white. Her hair does not really have that sort of glow, as it is falling out because of her condition. Her eyes are not blue, but a rather goldish brown, but it is deeply mixed with a dark hazel color. Yet even thiner then the rest, she still has a elegant touch to her. Wearing white silk gloves on her hands, it is hard to tell what the young lady has been through. Also to add, she has a silver rosary wrapped on her hand, for hope, and luck.

Mask: Her mask is a mask of a black cat, that symbolizes mystery, and an honorable protector of sickness, and pests. It is had white feathered eyebrows, and golden nose. Only covering half of her face, it was made to allow her to speak and breathe freely though the mask. It is nothing but simple and delicate.

Personality: She has an odd personality for a princess. But through history, and how she grew up, it is an rarity for the royal court to have such a person. Humble, sweet, and silent. Caring more about others then herself. Little does she take to appearance, but is mostly found with a gruesome look painted on her face of sorrow. Deeply, and spiritually connected with the Catholic religion, she has her heart on hope, and is completely naive to anything that is told to her. Maybe it's because of the unselfish wish to have her people safe from pain of the world, or at least an ideal of a dream.

Yet, for such a girl, she is able to read, and write in poems in great literature. Living in a world of dreams then she rather face in reality.


History: Before the many unstable revolutions of many Kings and royal families being rebuilt after a long line of family sickness, and death, the Austrian Kingdom was weak from the beginning. They had a big pile of riches before their military became weak, and fell down under the graces of war and disease. Because they had bought as much land from the pass, they seem to be a powerful country, until peaceful times where corrupted by greed and blood.

Leonie was born on the verge of the revolution of Austria, where the kingdom was starting to crumble before her. The main family had died under a plague of some sort, and the kingdom became a kingdom of kids ruling the throne. It was said, that the king and queen where siblings of 16 at the time. They tired to save their kingdom buy marrying off Marie Vandas off to the French Kingdom, but in the end they had failed. So the council allowed sibling marriage under the fall of their empire, to save the country. It did not mean that they had relations of any sort, it was more to fill a seat of power.

The Queen Marie was nothing more then a puppet for publicity, and was still an offer for marriage amongst other countries. As for the King, to keep the family scumming to inbreeding, they had ordered a number of courtiers for the king. Under that, his daughter was born on his 17th birthday.

With no real friendly connections with any nation, Austria was left to the wolves of the world. The Russian Empire, along with it great culture passed itself amongst many nations crushing, and invading the Austria territory as they grew in numbers. For the Germans, the main goal was their security in riches, which the Austria Empire couldn't help itself towards it's trades. But in becoming materialistic, it was brought on huge taxes, and debt, which the land of Austria couldn't feed itself no longer.

It came towards to the point where the king started to wear rags, and savior old clothes. They never ate a full stomach, and never had drank a full cup of whine. Yet the servants, and council gave great pity towards the empire, and it's dark deeming future. Working without pay, in a price for food and loyalty.

In these depressing times, came great humbleness in the Empire, and Leonie grew to be soft hearted and poetic. All her life, she hand on hand helped her own people, and gave a mere nickle to those in need. She was, and is on the verge of sainthood for the phrase from the people, till they were brutally left ambushed from the English Empire. The Russian Army had already kept their eyes on the prize, had their armies watching close from the side for an opportunity to seize the land.

All, poor Austria numbers are few, and sick, almost on the edge on distinction. But on the Laws of War, the Kingdom must be wiped out before they are able to truly claim land. With all, the princess of Austria had been invited towards the party under the wing of France. Pressured to marry off and joined into the French Empire.

Yet, the only thing treasured is the massive amounts of land Austria owns to, nothing more.

Will there be hope for the Lady of Austria?
