Thought that would get your attention. ^___^
Since Eris has basically existed since the time of the Greeks, I am thinking about starting a "Not-So-Core" RP thread set in a different time. This is a chance for all of you to choose a new character set in the past.
I am thinking about doing one of these:
Imperial China Imperial Japan Victorian England Revolution France
Anyone interested, please post here. ^___^
If you need help finding names, I have a character naming book.

The Victorian period was a era of grace and class. The peak of industrialization and fasion. I too must vote for Victorian England. Living in and restoring several Victorian period houses, I have had to do a lot of research. I just need to know, exactly when you had in mind and I can better familiarize myself with economy, industrialization, and the over all high points of the time.
However, being a history geek, I would be happy to do research on any of these time periods to better suit the needs of the roleplay. All of these periods were beautiful and awsome in their own way. I don't mind doing any or possibly all of them if we are up to it. But to please the current crowd *eyes Loki and Emma* Victorian England sounds perfect.
I have yet to make a character for his time fasion as well. It will be a great thrill to me to try to come up with someone. But I beg of you, can we start next week? I am leaving tomarrow through Tuesday of next week and am not sure when I will be able to be on the internet at all during that time period. When I get back I will let you all know what I did. ^___^ But for now, it is a secret. Most of you know where I am going though. Would it be possible to start next week? This also gives most of us time to come up with someone. Or maybe just me. XD I really would like to put some thought and deep detail into this character though.

Yes, Mana-chan sounds as if she will be a very interesting addition to this roleplay. ^___^
I was thinking about Victorian England between 1840-1870. If any of you are not famaliar with this period, think of Pride and Prejudice. I have written a complete history for Eris, where she was during every era. During this era, she served as a mistress to a certain Lord Holden in the elegant county of Derbyshire. Lord Holden has a wife who lives in London, where he usually is, but Eris seems to have control of his country estate while he is gone. She only stays with him for about ten years (she doesn't age, so she can never stay long in a location). After that time, she ends up as a servant for a lesser family to the north.
Either of those locations will do with Eris' history. So, if you want her to be upper class, I can do it. Lower class, it also shall make things interesting. And, like the current CORE, her last name is different. During this era, she was Eris Omphrey as the richer woman and Sarah Fuller as the servant. (She had to change her first name in this era so Lord Holden could not find her).

I have been meaning to read that book and thank you. I am really looking forward to this all. If there was ever a subject I was a complete geek in, it was history.
I will take my vaccation time to do some reading and see what I come up with when I come back, now that I know what period I am working with. The Early Victorian period was a time of grace and beauty. But also a time of war, for some . ^_^
Im still not sure whether I want a guy or a girl to play. I know that they will be of nobility. ^_~ Count on that.

Oh of course, nobility. ;D Well technically, Kenta would be just middle class. A doctor, and doctors were not as highly ranked as they are today. Since if you were a doctor... you had to touch people~ COMMON people~ xP

We could make it so that Eris is still a mistress and Mana's character could be a member of the nobility who frowns upon Eris' role with Lord Holden.
The doctor....hmmmmmm.......How can we get him involved?

Iunno. I'm adding to his family. So it's older brother 1 who gets the land and stays a noble, older brother two, born second, gets a spot in the clergy, and then Kenta decided he wanted to be a doctor, basically demoting himself. annnnd, a sister younger than him for good measure. He and his sister of marrying age<3

I have come up with a roll for my new character. And I will have two characters. A girl and her bodyguard. But I am not going to reveal anymore until I can iron out the details. But you better believe I have been doing some serious research and planning and I think I have a few pretty awsome profiles coming your way.
