Large family looking for members in Scelt

So, I’ve got an idea for a large family unit that would be based in Scelt, Kaeleer whose leading members – the matriarch and her husband – have recently died (could be unexpectedly) and left the rest of the family members scrambling in panic to reestablish their stability. I was thinking that perhaps the matriarch was a district or province ruler that would inspire some jealousy and power struggles between the children of the matriarch and her husband and the children of the matriarch and her lover.

People can feel free to make children of the matriarch who will be named –

Matriarch (Deceased) – Elloine Sylvane :: Queen :: Rose to Opal {78}
Husband (Deceased) – Henry Sylvane :: Prince :: Tiger’s Eye to Purple Dusk {83}
Lover of Elloine (Alive) – Carter VanBuren :: Prince :: Summer Sky to Green {65}

So your characters can be children of either Elloine and Henry or Elloine and Carter, but all will follow their mother's lineage and have the last name Sylvane. Children of Elloine and Carter should be prepared for some disgruntled whispers from the legitimate children of Elloine and Henry. Although, the children of Elloine and Carter can still replace Elloine’s place of power.

If anyone else has ideas please feel free to post here. All the children should be old enough to have children of their own if they would like.

In the middle of my extremely boring medieval philosophy class I had some thoughts about the children of Elloine and where characters who are planning to join on the plot. They all live in a very expansive manor in Scelt which has acres of fields and stables for their prize winning horses. Some of the grandchildren can also be finding their places in Courts in Scelt and or Nharkhava. Those who would like to join can either adopt a child of Elloine's or create their own by having a grandchild of Elloine:

Daughter of Elloine and Henry – Amaryllis Sylvane :: Healer :: Purple Dusk to **

Amaryllis is a very driven woman. She has her sights set on her mother's seat of power and won't let any step between her. Her husband Aslan Royce a warlord who is Summer Sky to ** has no say in where their branch of the family goes. Amaryllis has decided that if she cannot have her mother's power then her children will. Her children have not been able to be children since they were five years old and are very well versed in Protocol, Blood law and Craft. Her children want to be able to be children, but have been so controlled by their mother they are afraid to go against her.

Daughter of Elloine and Henry – Iris Sylvane :: Hearth Witch :: Rose to **

Iris is much more sweet, soft and maternal compared to her older sister Ama. She doesn't have quite the ambitions as her sister, but does want the best for her children. Her husband Soren Filane is a faithful loving husband and their family is a warm and content atmosphere. Iris has two children, and because of her bleeding heart she has also adopted a boy who has grown up as her own son since she is unable to have any more children. Anselm Sylvane (available for adoption) is the oldest of Iris's children and yet not of her blood. He has the Sylvane last name because Iris has legally adopted him. (I had some thoughts that there might be a true love type of thing between him and one of the siblings/cousins but is confusing because of their last name.)

Daughter of Elloine and Henry – Lily Sylvane :: Priestess :: Rose to **

Lily is one of the younger daughters of Elloine and after her birth Elloine began her torrid affair with Carter VanBuren. Elloine didn't show Lily much attention when she was young as she was too busy with Carter and allowed a nanny to raise Lily. Lily was starved for attention and searched for it in every place she could find. Lily learned at a young age that sex = love. Nowadays, Lily has many children, but still relies heavily on her siblings at the Sylvane's manor which is a point of contention between herself and Ama. Because Elloine's attention was solely focused on her twins Zinnia and Jules VanBuren-Sylvane, Lily is resentful and has made it her purpose in life to keep them from the power that her mother has left vacant in her sudden death.

Daughter of Elloine and Carter – Zinnia VanBuren-Sylvane :: Black Widow :: Purple Dusk to **

Zinnia is a spoiled princess of a girl. She is twins with Jules VanBuren-Sylvane a Warlord Prince born to Elloine and Carter. She has always had the attention of her mother and her father used her as a poker chip to keep her mother in check. She has always been given everything in life and so expects to get her mother's seat of power.

Of course she's still available! She's the most fun I think, personally. Her NPC, but a really limited bio, is in the NPC registry. Feel free to change, tweak, and all around play with her bio as she is yours now!

Ok, last installment of the children of Elloine. This is so that you can choose to have a child of either the daughters or the sons of Elloine – well except those who have it written that they have not had children. Yet, most are old enough to most likely have illegitimate children.

Hadrian Sylvane :: Prince :: Summer Sky to ** – oldest of Elloine’s sons who married young to his true love, Astrid. She was always an extremely delicate woman who was sick often and the births of their numerous children were enough to set her over the edge. She’s bed ridden now, and once again pregnant. Hadrian fears that with this last baby she will have given everthing she has to give and will fade into the darkness. He resents this final child as he fears it will take away his true and gentle love, Astrid. Astrid wants him to hush and thinks babies are blessings to be cherish. A piece of her and Hadrian will live on even if she doesn’t. Astrid and Iris are good friends as they have the same views on life, but when sickness plagued Iris’s womb she made it her mission to help Astrid with her numerous children as well as adopt Anselm as her own.

(Wife – Astrid Sylvane :: Hearth Witch :: Rose to ** )

Caspian Sylvane :: Warlord :: Rose to ** - Favorite of Henry and he really cared not for his mother. Caspian is a man’s man as well as a consummate player. He is married to Corrina Alkade-Sylvane, but has never really been faithful to her. This has caused Corrina to become bitter and resentful of her husband and his family (who she blames for his ways). She suspects he has many women that he favors in the Red Moon Houses of Scelt and fears the dozens of illegitimate children he must have because she’s failed to give him even one. Bitter and disenchanted Corrina is a scary woman to behold.

(Wife – Corrina Alkade-Sylvane :: Witch :: Rose to **)

Jules VanBuren-Sylvane :: Warlord Prince :: Purple Dusk to ** - the favorite of the late matriarch along with his twin sister, Zinnia. Jules has never really had to work for what he has wanted. He finds life on the estate boring and often travels to the Scelt Courts. When he does come back to the estate he is ansty, angry and restless. Like his half brother, Caspian, Jules enjoys the pleasure of a woman – many women- but hadn’t the misfortune of being forced into marriage (as he was Elloine’s favorite she let him do as he pleased.) He feels it is his job as an uncle to show the sons of his half siblings that there is more to life than marrying, children and horses.

BTW! I'm still looking for an Anselm if anyone would like to pick him up. His NPC bio is up so you can feel free to take a look at that.

I would love her to join!

She could be totally revamped and be a daughter of one of Elloine's children above. (Devahn's playing Amaryllis who is the only one of the older adults adopted at this point.)

She can be Helle and Anselm's sister.

She could be a love interest that Jules brings home.
Or a mistress that Caspian happens to have.

Anything like that sound good?

Anything really sounds good for her. I just haven't gotten a good feel her as she is. So I am more than willing to revamp her anyways she needs to fit in.


Edit: I have been thinking that I would like her to be Amaryllis's daughter. Maybe around the same age of Hele and Anselm... Still working on the relationship that she will have.

Wow! Thank you so much!

If you want her to be Ama's daughter you'd probably be better off talking with Devahn ^^ Besides, I have a feeling that she'd end up being the one Ama pushes for the Provincial seat if Ama couldn't have it herself *wink!*

Ama would love to have a black jeweled BW queen for a daughter. Ama is really mean though and totally controlling, so that is something to consider. Ama would be perfect for anyone going for the rebellion against the 'rents' route.

Sure! Helle is very easy going and very family oriented. If you want your character could be the one that Helle confides her feelings for Anselm in! XD
