Nobyl RP! T

Nobyl RP! 

The Nobyls are at the very top of Kyngdom's social ladder. They are the ultimate elite - wealthy, powerful, leading luxurious lives. But not all are content... in every family, it seems, there's at least one adventurous spirit. And these adventurous young Nobyls are deciding to join the Resistance, leave behind everything they've ever known, and fight for freedom from Catastrophe.

Since we haven't worked out exactly what's supposed to be going on in Kyngdom during the ten-year timeskip, I won't set the scene too strictly at this point - but this RP is about a few Nobyl families, both rich and poor, who decide, throughout the course of the RP, to join the Resistance. Some are at the extreme top of Kyngdom's elite; they can either leave the elite once they decide to join, or join secretly. Others have lost everything and know how cruel and unjust Catastrophe is, and thus have wanted to join the Resistance for a long time. The different families don't have to have much contact with each other at first, but their stories will gradually intertwine as they join the Resistance and get to know each other and form new friendships, alliances, and rivalries.

Okay let's see if I can commit to another rp or not-

Name: Lucian pur Courageux 

Pronouns: he/him

Age: hmm maybe like 17-19?

Appearance: I think he might have sort of tanned skin and golden hair and blue eyes

Personality: he's sort of snobby and seems bored by everything; he's also quite out of touch and doesn't know the struggles of people less lucky than him. I'm sure he'll grow throughout the story though

Strengths/weaknesses: as far as strengths go, he has a lot of money and knows a lot of people; he's also well educated, though he doesn't understand the value of his education. His weaknesses mainly revolve around the fact that he is not very fun to talk to and doesn't know/care much about others outside of the nobyls 

Home: he spends most of his days at his family's estate, though sometimes they take vacations to the family's beach "cottage" (a large mansion) or trips to their woodland "cabin" (a slightly smaller mansion)

Which Nobyl family is he/she from? You can invent your own branch of the Nobyls: the pur Courageux family

Background: he and his two siblings were raised at their estate, where they had everything they could ever want. He was (and is) sometimes lonely, however

Name: Jericho pur Courageux

Pronouns: he/him

Age: 16

Appearance: he has tanned skin like Lucian but darker hair and eyes than his brother

Personality: Jericho is smart and fascinatinated by the world around him; he's kind of a know-it-all though

Strengths/weaknesses: his strengths mainly revolve around his knowledge; he knows much about biology, the stars, the history of Kyngdom… anything that could've been in a book he read (and he's read many books). His weaknesses are mostly that he's sort of a know-it-all and despite knowing many facts, he, like his siblings, also has little knowledge of what life is like for someone who isn't a nobyl 

Home: the family estate 

Which Nobyl family is he/she from? You can invent your own branch of the Nobyls: the pur Courageux family

Background: same as Lucian

Name: Satori pur Courageux

Pronouns: she/her

Age: 15

Appearance: Satori has blonde hair and light skin. Her eyes are brown. She likes the wear bright colors

Personality: Satori is excitable and adventurous. She's very eager to get out and explore the world. She hides all this somewhat, however, as often when she was younger these things were often frowned upon. She's polite and charismatic, but she's not always being herself. She often acts more quiet around strangers/acquaintances and even sometimes her brothers, who don't always understand her

Strengths/weaknesses: Satori is bright and cheery; she's probably the most likeable of her siblings as well. She's charming and sweet. Like her brothers, she's pretty unaware of and ignorant to the outside world. She also doesn't know who to trust

Home: the family estate 

Which Nobyl family is he/she from? You can invent your own branch of the Nobyls: the pur Courageux family

Background: same as Lucian 

I'll post some POVs later

~Satori~

"Here we are," Satori said cheerily as they arrived at the party. 

"Fantastic observation skills as always, sister," Lucian said. Sarcasm fit rather naturally into his perpetually bored tone. "Well, we all know what to do. Spread out and… how did Mother put it?"

Jericho glanced about, surveying the party; Satori thought the decorations were lovely, and she figured her brother would also appreciate the attention to detail. Without looking over at Lucian, Jericho said, "I believe she said to 'make our family look good and help develop a friendship between us and the pur Kays.' They are quite wealthy and hold some power in Kyngdom, particularly in this area. So as Mother and Father see it, we'd do well to befriend them."

"I'm going to go up ahead and talk to Estrelle," said Satori. Jericho and Lucian both nodded, and she walked over to the girl she assumed was Estrelle. "Hello! "I'm Satori pur Courageux. Those boys over there are my older brothers, Lucian and Jericho." She smiled. "And I assume you're Estrelle pur Kays?"

Here's Scipio's updated form.

Name: Scipio pur Keteque

Pronouns: he/him

Age: 15

Appearance: short, pale, mediumish black hair with long bangs, brilliant blue-green eyes, likes to wear dark colored clothes, tiny silver earrings

Personality: Cocky, arrogant, determined, mischevious, brave, reckless, and impulsive. Strengths/weaknesses: Is really good at throwing knives and darts, can pickpocket, is full of himself, and thinks he is at the top of the world. He's very arrogant and often gets himself into easily avoidable trouble. He also happens to be very impulsive and sarcastic and tends to anger the wrong people. Also he has little regard for his or others physical safety. He is also very good at hand to hand close combat.

Home: Long Gate. 

Which Nobyl family is he/she from? You can invent your own branch of the Nobyls: Keteque. He is from a side branch of the Keteque family. 

Background: An only child with two doting parents, he wasn't as rich as you'd expect a branch of the Keteque family to be. Growing up in Long Gate, Scipio was allowed to do whatever he wanted. His parents' money slowly dwindled over time, as they continued to buy their son out of whatever mess he'd caused, each time getting bigger and bigger. Hoping it would keep Scipio out of trouble, they sent him to man with a good reputation of training soldiers. While his parents used up the last of their money throwing parties, they didn't know that the man was training Scipio to be an assasain. At age 11, he had killed more than he could count. Coming back home and haunted by nightmares, he found his parents dead and their manor completely destroyed. He's been on the streets ever since, thieving to make a living. He uses his arrogance and sarcasm to avoid showing his feelings.

And he would be open to shipping with boys or girls

`Estrelle`

The first guests to arrive were three Nobyls who looked like pur Corageux Nobyls. One of them came up to her.

"Hello! I'm Satori pur Courageux. Those boys over there are my older brothers, Lucian and Jericho," Satori smiled. "And I assume you're Estrelle pur Kays?"

"I am indeed," Estrelle replied. "I am glad that you could make it to my party. It will be great to get to know you more. What have you been doing recently?"

I keep forgetting to say this... I really really am interested (I've been trying to find a way to insert a character into this RP non-awkwardly since I joined ahaha so thank you), I just really don't have time... but when I do, I'll make sure to join! :)

~Scipio pur Keteque~

It was drizzling out, a dreary, gray sort of weather. Scipio stood at the very bottom of an ornate set of stone steps, slick with water, and dark. He easily stepped up two steps at a time, unfolding his rather long, skinny legs to their full potential. His black dress shoes clicked noisily on the marble. He reached the top and yanked on his stolen suit jacket, tailored expertly to fit him, to give himself one more moment before he entered the arena.

In each hand he took one of the large metal door handles set in the massive oak doors, intricately carved, practically exuding wealth. Scipio didn't have much money to his name; he stole often and spent most of it very quickly. But he still had his Nobyl name, and could easily mingle with other families.

He did like dramatic entrances, and it added to the projection that he was still the rich Nobyl boy he deserved to be. So, with the door handles in his hands, he pushed until both giant doors swung open with a bang, much louder than was normal for a partygoer to enter. Many other guests turned their heads. Scipio stood in the doorway, and smirked.

He then walked forward and bowed as if showing respect, a graceful, taunting bow, keeping his head high and his eyes scanning the room, daring someone to react. "Scipio pur Keteque, at your service," he drawled. Straightening, he ran a hand through his sleek black hair, sending it into a craze, in a way he just knew looked gorgeous.

Scipio sauntered lazily around the room, snagging a glass of golden liquid from a passing waiter hurrying by. He meandered his way over to a group of Nobyls, deep in their own conversation. Interrupting, he said, "Greetings, lovely," and his mouth curled again into a smirk.

I can't even remember the last time I posted on this RP, but I've love the idea of a Nobyl party and I've been wanting to get back into the RP :)

also @Periwinkle do you want to ship Caladia and Jericho? Or possibly have Caladia and Satori be friends? They both seem like really nice characters and I think Caladia would enjoy being with them... But it's totally fine if you'd rather not :) (Caladia's form is on page 1 of the RP btw if you'd like to look it over)

-Caladia-

Caladia was very excited for the party.

Or perhaps that was an understatement.

She hadn't gone to a party in weeks, a very unusual occurence for her. Things had been so hectic ever since she got swept up into the Resistance. At first she'd been overwhelmed by the surprise of it all. But now she was used to it, and enjoying the adventure and excitement of being among so many new faces. The stimulation of it all had lent a new animation and vivacity to her, and, now that her previous mission of getting a new supply of food to some Resistance men who were hiding in the countryside was accomplished, she was ready to relax and have some fun. A party was just what she needed.

She and her family rode up to the mansion where the party was to be held. It wasn't too far from Caladia's aunt's house, where the family had been staying at the moment, and they had decided to ride horseback. The mansion was beautiful, Caladia thought, tipping back her head to take it all in from top to bottom. She loved houses of all kinds, and this one certainly made it into her top list.

"I wish I could be reading a nice book by the fire," grumbled her father as they all dismounted and walked up to the door.

"Oh, you know you'll enjoy it once you're there," said Diana, Caladia's mother, laughingly. "Perhaps Professor Netarze will be there, and you can discuss astronomy with him."

This brightened him considerably, and they went inside. The interior was elaborate and costly, what you would expect of a Nobyl palace. People stood around talking. The atmosphere was pleasant and partylike. Caladia hoped there would be dancing later on. If there was one thing she liked, it was dancing.

She caught a glimpse of Estrelle, whom she knew vaguely, talking with another girl whom she recognized - all the Nobyls were pretty much able to recognize each other by sight - but whose name she didn't know. She looked nice, somehow, Caladia thought. Half unconsciously, she smoothed her dress, hoping it hadn't been rumpled too much by riding her horse. Then she stood still a moment, as her family dispersed throughout the room, letting the steady stream of voices and laughing and wine glasses clinking flow through her. She was going to enjoy this party.

@Poinsettia, I’m not sure about shipping Jericho and Caladia, but Satori and/or Jericho can definitely be friends with her! I may decide I’d like to ship them later; but at this point I don’t really know Caladia and I’ve hardly written Jericho, so I don’t want to decide just yet. I did start a little conversation between them though (why are our characters also bumping into each other lol) which is hopefully cool with you

@Wildsong hope this is okay; kinda wanted to see Scipio and Lucian interact

@All: think I’m going to bring Lucian down to age 16ish or maybe 17

~Satori~

“I am indeed,” said Estrelle. “I am glad that you could make it to my party. It will be great to get to know you more. What have you been doing recently?”

“I’ve been reading a few interesting novels,” Satori said. “Mostly spending time at our estate. It’s just wonderful to be out of the house.” She gave her best smile and tried not to look nervous. She’d never been good at small talk.

-Jericho-

A Nobyl entered the party loudly and dramatically. Jericho frowned. He did not like loud noises.

“Scipio pur Keteque, at your service,” the boy, who had blue-green eyes, said with a bow.

“Are we going to have to talk to that one?” Lucian said to Jericho, gesturing to Scipio.

“I will not be talking to him, no.” Jericho sipped his drink and wondered when this party ended.

“Greetings, lovely.” Scipio had appeared next to them, smirking.

“Wonderful,” said Lucian under his breath. Jericho chose this moment to slip away.

“Oof!” He ran into a dark-haired girl who seemed about his age. “My apologies,” he said quickly. “Are you alright?”

*Lucian*

“Greetings, lovely.” Lucian and Jericho turned to see Scipio facing them.

“Wonderful,” Lucian sighed. He looked up to see that Jericho had disappeared. Typical.

“Hi,” Lucian said, leaning against the wall. It was informal and rude, but that seemed to be this boy's style anyway. “Quite an entrance you made.” Lucian raised an eyebrow. “Very loud.”

`Estrelle`

“I’ve been reading a few interesting novels,” Satori said. “Mostly spending time at our estate. It’s just wonderful to be out of the house.” She smiled, though she seemed the slightest bit of nervous.

"Those novels sound nice," Estrelle replied, smiling back. "Meanwhile, I haven't been doing all that much, besides planning a party." She briefly glanced up, and noticed Kalisse had come in. She turned back to her conversation though. "What novels did you read?"

 

-Kalisse-

Kalisse walked into the party, trying to look graceful like all the other Nobyls. She was not used to this. She honestly wished that she were back in the forest of Morrows, or some village, not in the midst of top society, where the slightest wrong word could get you ostracized.

She barely knew any of the Nobyls---frankly, the only Nobyl she really knew was Estrelle. And she was deep in conversation with someone else. Kalisse headed over to the refreshments table, both hoping that no one would talk to her and hoping someone would to make things less awkward---if only she knew what to say.

~Scipio~ 

One of the boys he had approached stalked away, but that was fine with Scipio. The other looked at him. "Hi. Quite an entrance you made. Very loud." He raised one perfectly manicured eyebrow and leaned against the wall.

Scipio laughed. He didn't know this boy, although he should. He never paid attention to who was who. "Ahhh yes. A specialty of mine, those. And you are?"

The boy replied. Scipio liked him already. "I think we're going to be friends," he announced confidently. "Shall we go cause mischief?"

|Rulkan pur Abadore|

Another party. Already. Well, after all, it was the partying season, the time when Nobyls clustered together in brilliant swarms to dance and laugh and glow. Rulkan dismounted in front of Estrelle's magnificent palace, relaxing slightly in the golden light spilling out from it. A servant showed him into the room where the party was being held.

Maybe he shouldn't have come. There was so much else to do. But these were the pur Kays, it was one of those affairs where he absolutely had to appear, and he had been invited. What on earth was he supposed to do, refuse? Never.

He noticed an animated-looking girl, rather pretty but possibly a bit nervous, standing a little way away from him at a refreshment table. He reminded her vaguely of Tarava, and she looked sweet. He went over to the table, surveyed the options set out on it, and turned to her. "Greetings," he said easily. "I don't believe I've had the pleasure of seeing you around before...?" He recognized most of the Nobyls in the room, even the three Courageux siblings. But not this girl. And it was nice to meet someone new, someone interesting.
