"I don't want to leave the comfort of this place- but still, there is an unexplainable longing to escape it."
The following sign was plastered all over the streets of London. It was the essential gossip for the early summer nights, when witches and wizards wondered. Who was unhappy enough with their lot to give it up entirely? To have a new life of service under the mysterious Delamere's, an ancient family that hadn't surfaced amongst the elite in years? The rich, who hated their lives? The poor, who found a chance at survival? The purebloods may never be the same.
So, on the clear June night, the servents assemble, looking down to a mansion, plopped precariously in a villa nestled deep in a valley. Who they meet, no one would expect. The Delamere's turn out- beautiful siblings in their late twenties, somehow irresistable. Somehow beautiful, powerful... dangerous.
Friendships are made between servant and master. Alliances. Romances.
Everything seems fine, at first. Adjusting to life as a servant is easy with such kind masters. Nice, if a little dark. Romantic, if a little dangerous. And then, everything goes wrong.
The servants are losing their power. Simple magic becomes unreachable. And all of a sudden, it makes sense why the Delamere's wanted powerful purebloods. But escaping seems impossible. After all, the hypnotism of the Delamere's is stronger than ever as they steal the powers of their servants. And with little to no power... Is it possible to find freedom? Can they find the will to seek it?
Characters What I worry about with the characters is that everyone will choose females, and for a more... ahem... dynamic cast, we need men and women. So, if you take a character, please pick a gender that is in the minority at that point.
I also listed 8 Delamere's. We can have more or less, depending on how many people sign up. Varying ages.

If you wanna flake out, go ahead. TELL ME FIRST, though. And then I'll replace you.

Name: Iris Delamere
Nicknames: Ri
Age: 18
Appearance:
Hair- brown
Eyes- violet
Height- 5 feet 5 inches
Build: petite
About her:
She's sweet and loving. She's all bubbly but she's serious too. Did I mention that she was cold? Stone cold. Her heart is like ice and people fall for her smiles and charms. Iris doesn't seem so cute once you see her dark side though. Because she is evil, you just never see it. She's the perfect little angel in everyone's eyes and a huge flirt. Iris is nice though... to those she deems worthy, she just likes fooling with people's feelings, it's amusing. And it just shows how weak they truly are.
Hobbies: Drawing, singing, playing piano, flirting, shopping,
Likes: Dark colors, nice clothes, some of her siblings, Haters, her puppy Serene
Dislikes: cats, roaches, cowards
Post Color: Purple
SPOILER!!: servant
Name: Taylor Flint
Nicknames: Tay
Age: 21
Former House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Pureblood
About her:
Taylor was a stuck up, failing, sneaky little Slytherin back in Hogwarts. Now she's pushed away by her family. Her parents said she was too lazy, with no job and just shopping so they found this as a perfect opportunity to drop her off at the Delamere's and forget about her. After all, all Taylor was good for was bringing home a new guy every other week and telling her parents how perfect they were for each other. Needless to say, once Taylor found out about this she freaked. Her parents were ruining her life and besides! She was legally an adult now! But it was too late and she was made a servant. Ew.
Post Color: Green
-edit- eep. I just noticed you said that... do you want me to change? o-o;;

Here is my sibling! I'll edit this with the servant when I can find a good picture
Name: Richard Delamere
Nickname(s): Rick, Richy (only said to annoy him)
Age: 19
Appearance:
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: Chocolate brown
Build: Muscular and athletic
Personality:
Richard is a bad-boy who wants to live his life to the fullest. He loves being royal and rich and all that, but sometimes he wishes someone would love him for who he is on the inside. He has good looks, smarts, everything he could possibly want. But he still isn't happy. He uses his charm to get him what he wants, but you can't use charm to get true love, can you? He's a joker and loves to make people laugh. He loves to eat too, but keeps in shape. Sometimes he puts on a disguise and wanders into neighboring villages. He just wants to see if anyone will treat him like a normal person.
Tell me if you want to change anything
EDIT: I present to you... the servant!!! *dramatic music plays*
Name: Dominic Reynolds
Age: 20
DOB: April 7th
POB: Italy
Appearance:
Hair: Light brown
Eyes: Clear blue
Build: Tall and muscular
Personality:
Dominic seems like a very outgoing kid at first glance, and he is, but he's very shy around girls. He loves to have fun and will break any rules so he can to do just that. He hates authority and being told what to do, so sometimes he and a couple friends go out at night and graffiti some part of the city. He actually put graffiti on the Delamere house once before. He can play the electric guitar which he loves to practice with. His favorite color is dark green and he hates his parents.
Hehe, as you can see I had a Gossip Girl faze

Last edited by city_girl_95; 08-04-2010 at 09:03 PM.
Personality: Antonin is a fickle creature. He is charming and charismatic, and loves the company of women. On the contrary, he loathes any male companionship to the point that he hates even being around his brothers. He is intelligent, but only applies it as a weapon to charm women. Antonin doesn't understand the concept of working to get what he wants; it's always been handed to him. He's rather heartless, but every once in a while have bouts of that "Oops, I got my conscience today." No one's ever broken through the barrier of unfeeling handsomeness and general evilness, but perhaps one of these new servants will come across his Jimminny Cricket?
Amortentia: Roses, vanilla, fear (BAHAHAHAHAHA! I find that amusing... )
Boggart: His father
Patronus: Fox
Post Color: Dark Slate Gray
SPOILER!!: Luci ;D
Name: Luciandus Bartholomew Viteri
Nicknames: Luc, Lu, Luci (does not like... at all...)
Age: 21
DoB: July 13th
PoB: Naples, Italia
Blood Status: Pureblood
Personality: Luc is smart. He was always been smart. However, knowledge was never welcome in the Viteri family. He was always the odd one out, the one that was never looked upon as a true family member. So... he left. On his own, Luc grew to love solitude and nothing else. He was brave, intelligent... but didn't care for anything but himself. Love, to him, is illogical. Somewhere on the inside, he still cares.
Amortenia: Wine, ocean breeze, old parchment
Boggart: His home back in Naples
Patronus: Horned owl
Post Color: Navy
Slytherindor ♛ The Crazytastic Besties ♛ Shan Watson ♛
SPOILER!!: bio Delemare
Name: Marie Antoniette Delemare
Nicknames: Marie, Angel, Annie, Blondie (she hates that one).
Age: 17
Year: 7
House: Slytherin
Apperance:
Personality: Marie is a fun, outgoing girl who loves life. She is extremely bright and she enjoys hanging out with her siblings. She is beautiful, she is called the "blonde one". She can be a flirt but she can also be quite mean and evil. Everyone has a dark side, right? Marie only shows her to the people who mess with her family. Overall, Marie is quite dramatic and enjoys the theatre. She also enjoys adventures and having a fun time.
History: Marie is one of the last of the Delemare's to be finishing up school. She is in the Slytherin House and she has been on the Quidditch team for many years. She is a perfect O student and she is now Head Girl for her seventh year.
Post Colour: Green
SPOILER!!: Servant's bio
Name: Julia Hennigton
Age: 23
Former House: Slytherin
Position: Servant
Apperance:
Personality: Julia pretends to be the sweet, reserved maid. But on the inside she's the opposite. She loves to have fun, she's daring, and knows how to say no. One problem, she can't say no to her mistress. She has a soft spot for Marie, as she is her favourite Delemare child. She mothers her and makes sure she is okay. She would hurt anyone if they dare touch Marie.
History: Julia has traveled the whole world and has seen how people live. She was born to a wealthy life but it all changed when her father gambeled the fortune away. At the age of ten, Julia became an actress. At eleven, she attended Hogwarts. She finished in year 7, and went into the acting buissness for full time. Later when she was twenty, no one wanted her in the films anymore. And that's when she went into helping others. She became a Nannie.
Name: Patrick Delemere
Age: 25 (So currently .. the second oldest right?)
Occupation: Unemployed
House: Ex-Slytherin
Appearance:
Personality: Patrick loves the thrill and the adrenaline of getting into trouble. He can't get enough of it. He has been a rebellious child throughout his life as he is one of many middle children. Patrick loves the high life of being rich and of high status, as his family is one of very few in the upper class. Patrick enjoys having servants and people weighting on his hand and foot. He has declared on many occasions that he is better than his siblings, and loves to prove this by havng as many girls as he can, competing against his brothers, and also gambling in shady pubs whenever he can.
Likes: WOMEN, gambling, getting into trouble, being cocky and witty.
Dislikes: People better than him, ugly people, muggleborns, authority.
Post Colour: Royal Blue.
Amortentia
Lilacs, Summer nights, ashes
History and Personality
Ava-Mercy was born of a type-A pureblood mother and father. Cold. And when they abandoned her in a Manor in Kilkenny, the air around her was cold. But she built fires in the fireplaces, and put flowers in the vases, and made the mansion warm. She started volunteering around the city within the wizarding world when she was 14- her name suits her very much, and spent the best years of her life making other people feel good, with little thanks. Still, she felt there was something missing. When the posters for the Delameres went up, she saw it as yet another opportunity to help out a poor, unfortunate family. She is a bit naive, and can lack tact, because she will not be told she can't help someone.

SPOILER!!: delamere child
Name: Violet Emilea Delamere
Nickname: Vee or Vivvy
Age: 6
Blood Status: Pure Blood
DOB: 31st of October
About Violet:
Violet is extremely creative, even for a 6 year old. She is also extremely smart. Pretty much all she does is read books, if you don't see her with a book in her hand it must be a bad day. She is happy most of the time, but she gets really annoyed if some one under estimates her. She is also rather short. You don't want to be on her bad side because with a mind like hers, she could turn your life upside down. She also gets very annoyed if you don't do as she asks. Basically she is very annoy-able.
Favourties:
Colour: Aqua
Animal: Elephant
Food: Strawberries
Place: A LIBRARY FILLED WITH LOTS OF BOOKS... that she hasn't read
hows that?

Biosssss.
SPOILER!!: Edith Delamere
Name: Edith Delamere Goes by: E. Or Eddie if you want to take a risk. Picture: Birthday: January 3rd Age: 18 Height: 5'4" Blood: Pureblood
Personality: If it was ever necessary to assign Edith to a certain category or stereotype, it could possibly be that of 'tomboy', though really, she's a bit too all-over-the-place to fit into just one category alone.
Edith was never the most feminine of the Delamere sisters and she's not one to feel the need to be in constant touch with her feminine side; dresses make her uncomfortable and she finds jewelry to be a hindrance. Her hair is short, like that of a boy's, and despite her sisters' insistence, she refuses to let it grow long. That's another thing she finds annoying - long hair. It takes up too much space, it takes too long to wash and brush, it only makes life complicated. The girl does have a certain style, though, and it's a very preppy (think Lacoste or Polo Ralph Lauren) one. She likes to dress in the best of the best, to make her status in society very obvious in her attire. However, most of the outfits she wears, are more suited for a boy than a girl. She will not be found wearing dresses or skirts or short shorts, or tank tops or anything that's feminine. She prefers long-sleeved dress shirts, even during summertime, and a sweater vest to go on top, or a soft, creamy cardigan sweater. Neutral colours, always. She usually wears khaki pants or shorts that come just a couple inches above her knees - never jeans! Never ever ever. And at first sight, to many, Edith looks like a very pretty slender little snobby boy. But she's a girl. And she likes boys. So don't be freaked out.
Edith is also very proud; she enjoys a good challenge and constantly strives to be the best of the best. She could be categorized as a bit of a nerd in that sense, and enjoys to spend her free time reading and learning. Her favourite subject had always been history, she's always very easily fascinated by anything that clues to the past, to a time that once existed. She's usually rather quiet and reserved, and when she does speak her tones are usually a little bossy, a little annoyed, and not necessarily the friendliest. She's not one to be caught running down the halls laughing and giggling; she's really rather serious and comes off as unapproachable.
Family: Part of the Delamere clan; specifics about her family members will come to light as the RP progresses, I suppose.
Other: Edith has a pet monkey by the name of Rossiter. Rossiter is albino, so he is completely, entirely, one very, very light blond colour that can easily be confused for white. He is small in size, reaching only about a foot in height, and just like his owner, he is not the friendliest of pets. He has zero tolerance for tickling or silly pet games, and can often be found following after his owner or throwing tantrums in the kitchens of the Delamere mansion.
I'll edit this post with the bio for my servant charrie as soon as I'm done with it.
Personality: Despite his appearance, which seems to give off the impression of a snobby, conceited rich boy, Fabien is actually far from that. He does come from a family of Purebloods that's probably older than dirt; it's been around for thousands of years as far as he knows. But the boy doesn't really care much about this, neither does he bother to take much pride in it. Fabien has other interests in mind, and while most guys his age worried about girls and Quidditch matches during his years in school, Fabien cared about other things, things like his studies and problem-solving. Not necessarily in a mathematical manner, but in a more… 'Scooby-Doo' kind of way?
Fabien is very observant and he has always been intrigued by anything that is mysterious, anything that is unknown to others. He has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, for being the first one to figure out things, and this has led him to trouble in the past. And one of the boy's greatest curiosities, one of the things that intrigues him the most? The Delamere family. No one outside of the family knows about about the family itself, they're the biggest mystery the boy has ever come across, and despite his family's disagreement and reluctance to let him go, Fabien decided to apply for a spot as a servant to the Delamere family, letting his curiosity get the best of him. He knew that by agreeing to this, he was making a promise to this powerful family, a promise to serve them for the rest of his life. But that was definitely not the boy's plan. His plan was to sneak in, get the information he needed (or rather just wanted and desired) to know, and flee.
However, whether he'll be able to go along with this plan and escape the grip of this powerful wizarding family or not, is the mystery. Curiosity did kill the cat after all, didn't it?
Family: Fabien's family is of Dutch descent, though he was born and raised in England. The Westenbergs are well-known in their homeland of Netherlands, where they are one of the largest, oldest, and richest families. However, in England, they keep a low profile, and Fabien's parents moved here mostly to escape a life where everyone knew them, a life where everyone judged their every movement and expected supernatural things from them, just for their decent. Compared to the rest of the Westenbergs, Fabien's parents may come off as humble, and so it was from them that the boy learned not to worry so much about his looks and bank account but of the world around him instead, to instead focus on learning to understand and appreciate what was going on around him so that one day he could do something meaningful, enlighten the public with something that was once unknown to them.
Other: Though Fabien prefers to spend most of his free time either reading or exploring, he's an avid Quidditch fanatic and a fantastic Chaser. He's also very much into politics and his favorite form of exercise is swimming.

IluvvDracoMalfoy, why don't you take a servant? Preferably male, but female is fine too.
Wow, gryffindoll, was not expecting them to be that young, but that's fine.
Wow, samthehpfreak, I REALLY wasn't expecting them to be that young, but if you can make it work, that's fine too. Full disclosure, though- I listed the siblings as adults in the plot synopsis, because it may be hard to make a child, "Dangerous and Romantic" as they are described, But if you can do that, Hats off to ya, and Go right ahead.
Thanks for the bios. We have a few more to go, I think, and then we are golden.
