● ↞♛↠●The kingdoms didn't always live this way. Peace is always in demand somewhere, but today it was needed more than ever, here, in the midst of towns where chaos and distress reigned. King Fredrick IV of Galena had fallen deathly ill and failed to proclaim any of his numerous heirs the heir to take the throne. Galena is in shambles. Many princes and even some princesses vying to win the voice of the people to gain the throne, some call in assassins and practice other forms of foul play, leaving many injured and even more eliminated. Next door a kingdom of high prowess reigns, keeping a tight leash on all of it's occupants. The king of Triton has one goal; domination. With his forces spread far and wide he knew he couldn't take his few elite men into the heat of battle. No, this war would be a war of the wits, and now with Galena in crumbles it is his time to deliver a brisk decisive blow to end it all. Where will you side in the fight contending of kingdoms?

THE WORLD ● ↞ ♛ ↠ ●
GALENA The Kingdom of Galena once was a strong and noble country and yet now it's barely staying together. It seemed as though each new ruler sought to worsen the situation and the series of weak and foolish rulers of the time prior have nearly ruined the country. King Fredrick IV died with many children, none of which he named heir, and now the scramble for power is sending the kingdom into chaos. Kin of the royal family and powerful nobles seek to claim the throne, and it's discovered relatively quickly that no one is afraid to get their hands dirty.
The Palace - A grand castle homing the family of the deceased king, royal knights and guards, and servants. Everyone remains parodied as the fight for the throne progresses, for who knows who could be plotting within the walls.
Market - A collection of taverns and shops within the kingdom.
TRITON A neighbor to Galena, and definitely not a friend. With their neighbors struggling to maintain power the King Damon knows that the land can be claimed, but as powerful conquerors his men are elsewhere and not equipped to fight war in Galena. He knows that with the right people in the right places he can eliminate who he needs to and grab the Galena throne without battle.
The Palace - Houses the royal family. People of Triton are witty a strategical, high faith in the king and his descendants.
Forest - A large coniferous forest which consumes most a large portion of the boarder between Triton and Galena.
CHARACTERS ● ↞ ♛ ↠ ● ♛ ROYALTY AND NOBILITY♛ Royalty includes any decedants of King Fredrick IV or King Damon. Nobility includes any Nobles within the kingdom who hope to obtain the throne.
| ~∂es | Damon Ford | 35 | Triton | King | Damon has medium length wavy black hair and a narrow mean looking pale face. His eyes are a mixture of green and blue with noticeably long lashes. His beard is kept as a short stubble. He stands 6'3 with a thin yet strong build, he is extremely agile due to his lack of bulging muscles and his nimble figure is very misleading for his strength. He's a very calm and strategical man who knows exactly how to get what he wants. He has conquered many lands for his kingdom and is well respected, he's very affectionate of his people but merciless to enemies. Definitely not pleasant when irritated and characteristically manipulative. | n/a |
| Pepper Mint 💥 | Auden “Kit” Ford | 18 years old | Triton | Heir to Throne | With the darkest brown hair and the knowing smile Auden, or should I say Kit, is a natural charmer. His wavy hair is always cut short - he’s always looked liked it that way. Auden’s eyes have hetero-chromia, meaning one eyes is a fierce emerald green with flecks of hazel in their depths while the other is a pale, icy blue with golden and amber flecks. He is well-muscles and toned from constant battle training and fighting, and is of an average height being 6’2”. He has a strong jawline and prominent cheekbones. Many have called him an angular sort of handsome. He has dimples that he secretly hates. Auden is an honest, determined young man with a somewhat sarcastic sense of humor. He has taken to spouting out dry comments at the perfect time which has deeply aggravated his mother. He loves his family deeply, his mom especially, and has always done anything he could to annoy her out of affection. He is a determined, ambitious young man who feels emotions very deeply, but is capable of hiding them. When he was little, he would cry whenever he felt a strong emotion - anger, sadness, happiness, frustration, you name it. He has of course stopped that behavior, but still can sympathize with others. He loves his subjects deeply and would do anything for them. Kit is very good at strategizing, be it on the battlefield or in the game of wits. He loves fiercely, but also hates fiercely, and will not give up a grudge for anything. | Kit is very good at horseback riding - he has a beautiful dappled gray stallion named Sarayu. He excels at playing the violin. |
| υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк | Roland Vespasian | 21 | Galena | royal | Black haired and blue eyed, Roland has a rather adventerous spirit and a lively sense of humour. A kind person at heart, he tries his best at everything that he does and prefers to avoid unneccesary conflict with others. That being said, if you were ever to lay a finger on anyone he cared about then it would be highly recommended to stay out of his way. Preferring to wander around the castle and its surroundings then attend to any royal duties he has, it isn't uncommon to see people trying to track him down. | Other |
| ѕтαrlιɢнт | Lila Vespasian | 17 | Galena | Royal | If there is one word to describe the princess Lila, it would be sweet. She has a brilliant sparkle to her blue eyes that match those of her brother Roland. Her long hair is the color of melted caramel, and it falls to her mid-back in soft waves. She has smooth, pale skin and her figure is lean and slender. Though she isn't the most attractive, if anyone were to tell you she is not good-looking, they would be lying. Almost constantly, there is a smile on her lips. She is bright and energetic, and she is rather naive. She is an adventurer, often getting in trouble for sneaking out of the palace to go into the forest or to read a book. Lila dreams of exciting journeys and noble quests, but she knows that she will never get to experience any of it. She can be kind of odd, and she has trouble connecting with others. However, she is rather friendly and always tries her best to be helpful. Despite her efforts, she typically messes up due to her excitable nature and her tendency to get ahead of herself. Lila is a rather sensitive creature, and she doesn't really want the throne. | She loves flowers, and was blessed with a lovely singing voice |
| ~∂es | Gavin Diaspan | 31 | Galena | Noble | Gavin stands 6'2 with lean muscular figure. He's fairly tan with short-ish dark brown tousled wavy hair, with a long stubble beard. His eyes are hooded a rich hazel color, his gaze extremely cold. He is an extremely witty and brutal man who seeks the throne and is not afraid to kill to get it. He could be easy be classified as a sociopath, showing no signs of remorse or thought for others and demonstrating frequent narcissistic symptoms. He's willing to hire assassins but is in no way afraid to get involved himself if he feels it would be more productive. | n/a |
| Pepper Mint 💥 | Aurelia Regio | 21 years old | Galena | Noble | Aurelia stands at an average/on the tall side height, and cuts an imposing figure. She has a slender body type with small curves. She has little muscle -she's been raised in a mansion all her life- but still has an absence of flab. Aurelia is beautiful, which is somewhat why she is so influential, but it isn't the typical delicate, fragile pretty that is usually seen in the court. Aurelia has a fierce, angular beauty with a strong jaw and high cheek-bones. Her hair is the darkest brown that falls to her shoulder blades when not up. She'll usually pull it up in an elegant chignon or elaborate bun to accentuate her cheekbones. Her eyes are a piercing yet pale green that rarely show her smile. She'll usually wear the beautiful dresses of the court, even when at home, and while she can wield a gun as a weapon, she'll have her guards take care of it. Aurelia is one of the smartest people in court, but hides it under a sweet, somewhat dumb facade. Only her allies know how truly manipulative and calculating she is, and she has garnered quite a few allies. Aurelia is not above using blackmail or her beauty to get her way- hey, as long as it works, do it. She is truly a good person, however, and is doing this for the good of her country. Still, she enjoys outwitting people, and is actually quite a witty, charming person with a tiny streak of sarcasm. This aspect has gotten her through the wiles of court. She has a deligthfully intoxicating way of being 'bad,' and that has helped her ensnare enemies and later blackmail them into submission. She doesn't have a big temper- being in court requires a demeanor of cold, hard ice. Doesn't trust anyone; she can't afford to. She desperately wants the throne and will kill anyone to do it. Overall she is a cutthroat beauty who doesn’t care if her hands get bloody, as long as it doesn’t ruin her manicure. | N/A |
● GUARDS● Knights who defend any powerful figure including Nobles and Royalty. Can be seen in the kingdom keeping order among the people or as personal body guards. Can be called in for battle.
| ~∂es | Peyton Mathias | 23 | Galena | Guard | Peyton has short dark blonde hair with a short boxed beard he's careful to maintain as best he can. He has dark brown eyes and his tan skin is splashed with random freckles. He stands at 5'11 and has a strong muscular build, his arms laced with scattered scars. He's usually pretty quiet but can be quiet the comedian once he's warmed up to a situation, even then he's a total perfectionist. He likes things in order and always does his best to maintain organization, so the situation with the throne causes him immense stress. He's extremely loyal to his friends and work and does what he can to keep the people around him secure. | Skilled with a sword |
| υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк | Larkin Cenric | 23 | Triton | guard | As any good guard should be, Larkin is stoic and brave, preferring to swing fists first and ask questions later. It could be said that this rather non-descript, brown haired man is a hot head with a quick temper, but hey, that's what makes him good at his job. Prefering to 'work alone' Larkin is relatively happy with his position in life, content to stay where he is, for now. All that being said, don't think for a second that there isn't more to him under the surface. He's got a good memory and doesn't easily forget those who've crossed him, so it's best to ensure you stay on his good side, or at least be smart about crossing him (which is to never do that). | Other |
| ѕтαrlιɢнт | Icarus Northfire | 20 | Galena | Guard | Icarus is a handsome devil. He has chocolate colored hair that he keeps well-maintained. His skin has the slightest tan to it, and he stands at an impressive 6'4". He has a muscular, sturdy build. What sticks out the most, are his amber-colored eyes that burn like embers. Icarus is very loyal to his kingdom and the person he has sworn to protect. He knows that the political situation is not the best, and he has vowed to let nothing happen to his charge. He is very serious and dedicated. Once he commits to something, he goes all in. He is rather cautious and he would rather be safe than sorry. He is known for being stupidly stubborn, and he likes to be in charge. Icarus is a good leader, but he can be a bit pushy. He doesn't joke around, as he is always focused on what he is doing. This young man is a stickler for keeping things in order; there is a system with rules and you've gotta follow them. At least, that's how he sees it. He always sets aside his feelings, and he uses his head, not his heart, to make decisions. | Has a really bad sweet-tooth. Like, real bad. |
| 𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕥 | Harlow Zenik | 20 | Triton | Guard | Harlow is rather tall for a girl, standing at a little over 5'8". She's lithely built but undeniably muscular. She's strong in the way she has to be to have earned her position - one that did not come easy. Female guards are rather rare, and she takes her job seriously. Harlow has a dark caramel complexion and a head full of chocolate curls that are cropped at her shoulders. That paired with almost delicate features and catlike hazel eyes don't make her appear very threatening, but she makes up for that with a fiery personality. Harlow is dominant in every sense of the word, and would die before she'd let someone get the better of her. This makes her come off as aggressive and headstrong, but anyone close to her knows that she can be witty and compassionate as well. She quietly disagrees with the way her kingdom is led, and wants nothing to do with Galena's overthrowing. However, she realizes any utterance of those thoughts would surely get her killed, so she waits in hope that perhaps Triton's heir is not quite as cruel as his father. | Skilled at many forms of battle, but excels in hand-to-hand combat above all others. |
↞ ASSASSINS ↠ Hired killers that will work for whom they desire or who pays the most. Payed to kill or sabotage enemies who seek the throne or allies of opposing forces.
| Pepper Mint 💥 | Lucia Noavek | 19 years old | Triton | Royal Assasin/Spy | With pale auburn hair and the warmest brown eyes, Lucia looks very innocent for what she does. But you’ll be surprised at how fierce this girl actually is. Lucia has long pale ginger hair that cascades to her mid-back in loose waves. She almost always has it in a simple braid, or if she’s doing a mission at a ball, she’ll put it up in an elaborate braid. She is quite slender but lithely toned, and moves with grace and fluidity almost like a lioness. Lucia is quite petite being 5’2”, but as her favorite motto says, “fierce things come in small packages.” Her eyes are easily her best feature and they’ve been able to lure many men. With their warm brown shade, they’re flecked with gold and amber and framed by long, dark lashes. She’s been described to have a fierce, natural beauty - like a tiger - with high cheekbones and smirking lips. Lucia is very vibrant and vivid for what she does, and makes great conversation. She is very witty and charming - perfect for a spy - and she has a tiny streak of sarcasm that will often come out when she’s angry. And she gets angry a lot. She is very temperamental, and fight anyone who gets in her way. It’s actually quite funny to see a small, petite woman yelling up at a man much bigger than her. She kills and spies with ruthless efficiency and is very good in tight spots. She is known to hold a grudge, but can be forgiving once in a while. She kills fiercely, but loves even more so. If you win this girl’s loyalty, you will have gained an amazing ally who will fight and win for you. She usually wears tight-fitting peasant - although, their made with the finest material- trousers and her deep red cloak, accompanied with her main weapon silver daggers and arsenal of others she hides. But, she will wear court dresses and ball gowns usually in hues of green, blue, and purple. | Lucia is great at horseback riding, and has a auburn mare named Kasai. |
| υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк | Jocosa Ronnette | 19 | Anyone who pays in gold | assassin | The irony of this girls name is not lost on her. Influenced by the latin word for 'merry' or 'playful' it could be easily said that neither of those words really describe this young female. Sarcastic and straight-forward, she'll tell you what's on her mind in a heart beat, but you better be sure that you want to hear it. She's ruthless and willing to do what it takes to keep herself alive, in this case out smarting her competitors to get the top jobs. For such a young person, she's seen a lot and led a hard life, probably the reason she keeps everyone at arms length and doesn't trust anyone. She cut her auburn hair short, so it just touches her shoulders, a long time ago, figuring it would just get in the way of the job she ended up having to do. Speaking of, no one who's ever asked has found out how she got into the shadowey business she's in, and that's probably for the best. | n/a for now |
| 𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕥 | August Rietveld | 21 | No loyalties, serves the highest bidder | Assassin | August is tall and broad-shouldered, standing at well over six feet. Despite his imposing figure, he's incredibly flexible and light on his feet - abilities that he relies on heavily. He has thick, dark hair that he keeps just short enough to stay out of his eyes, out of his way. He has sun-kissed skin littered with scars and old wounds that range in size and severity. His eyes are brown, though the shade is so dark you can hardly tell. He has thick, sharp eyebrows and a strong jawline. Outwardly, August is about as heartless as you would expect a person that kills for a living would be. It is nearly impossible to tell if he's sincere about anything. He is incredibly skilled in the art of deception, and uses that ability to trick his targets into liking him, if the particular job requires him being up close and personal. He cares little about the state of the government, and is much more concerned with his own hide than the state of any particular kingdom. He often disassociates himself as a method of coping with his lifestyle, and is left with a cold, ruthless exterior. Because of this, he doesn't know the last time he actually considered another person to be important to him. | Prefers long-range weapons such as throwing knives, but also enjoys using hidden blades that he keeps retracted in cuffs around his wrists. |
| Plague Doctor | Ippolito Fausti | 21 | Galena | Apothecary/Healer, Assassin | Ippolito, despite his 6'1" thin stature, long limbs and elongated face is often mistaken for still being a boy in his teens. His facial features are a bit odd, with one cheek more indented than the other and a slightly crooked nose he has an asymmetrical appearance. He has a long narrow nose with a pointed bridge, sharp cheekbones and a narrow gaunt-looking face overall. Matched with his pale complexion he almost looks ill himself even though he is a healer. He is perfectly healthy though and good runner. He has shortly cropped black hair and dark eyes to contrast his pale skin. While he looks young he has a mind much older, with some of the wisdom of a old man. He is calculated and has a strong sense of foresight, basing all his actions and decisions on what the outcome will be before he makes them. He's cautious and thinks very carefully but also does have a warped sense of morality and believes that sometimes the ends justify the means, or in a pessimistic sense that the world is dark and unfriendly so it's only natural to be dark and unfriendly as well. He tries to keep emotions out of what he does which can make him seem cold and off-putting. He doesn't exactly welcome company or friends either, he's gladly placed himself into the role of an outcast that people sometimes depend on, but wouldn't consider ever talking to the man unless they needed his help. He has done extensive studying of medical science and runs a small apothecary out of his own home in the capital of Galena, where he will sometimes also treat patients but he mostly does house calls. His studying also has a darker side to it as he likes to study poisons in which he got his role as an unsuspecting assassin. If he's called upon by anyone for the right amount of money he will poison or sabotage any of their enemies, especially if they manage to find themselves as one of his patients. He is loyal to Galena though and while he himself doesn't know which prince or princess will be the heir to the throne, he won't do any assassin work for anyone from Triton. | Other |
● OTHER ● Any other people living within or outside the kingdoms. Can partake in the fight in the throne and hire assassins, or can stay out of the fight and wait for a ruler to rise. Not all should be underestimated
| Plague Doctor | Hosni | 22 | None | Mercenary | Hosni looks like an unassuming regular village girl, not very tall standing at only 5'6" and appearing to have a weaker slimmer frame, too weak for that of a fighter. But she has been trained in combat and swordfighting most of her life, especially from her father, and has a lean athletic build. She is stronger than she looks but in speed and stamina is where she really excells, she can lift and swing a large sword around with no difficulties but is also very light on her feet and focuses on strategy more than brute strength. She does prefer to use a larger broadsword since it's size compared to her small body often makes her opponents underestimate her, which she uses to her advantage. She has stocky shoulders, a short torso and long legs. Her skin is a dusty olive colour and her hair is a deep dusty brown, almost black, and falls in waves and subtle curls down past her shoulders. Her eyes are a deep hazel and she has more exotic looking features such as a strong browline, narrow chin and long pointed nose. She's not particularily pretty, which is fine by her as her average-ness tends to keep her safe and out of suspicions. She will kill or fight anyone for money, while she was born in the outskirts of Galena she has no loyalty for any rulers or kingdoms. She looks down and likes to mock nobles and royalty, thinking their struggles over leadership are petty and pathetic. She keeps her loyalty only to gold and a few good people. She's good-humoured, good company and a good friend if she doesn't wind up slitting your throat first. She has a vibrant, social and energetic personality which she sometimes has to keep under control. Despite her position she tends to be a bit of an optimist and doesn't let things get her down. Even with strife and suffering in the world she likes things just the way they are, she's not an idealist by any stretch of the imagination. When she's not doing work as a mercenary she works at a tavern in Galena's capital, which is where she's often found for anyone who wants to hire her. | She was born to a poor foreign family and has no last name. |
| υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк | Michelle "Micky" Davies | 13 | In Galena, no loyalties | Orphan/street rat | Quick-witted and with a sharp mind this young girl knows what she wants and will do anything to get it. Before all of these royal shenangins started, she had been one of the upper class, her father a knight and her mother a lady. That all fell to pieces, however, when her father was killed in a fight. Never knowing the full details, she began to ask too many questions, something that put the rest of her family in danger. Now alone on the streets of Galena, she's become less inquisitive - well less obvious about it anyway. Looking out for herself and only herself, this little lady can bat her baby blues and have just about anyone wrapped around her little finger. However, people only fall for her tricks once, because the little pick pocket will leave you high and dry, not realising your pockets are empty until she's already slipped away. She could be said to have her own little following of younger orphans, those who look to her for protection. If it's in her interests, she'll help them out, if not she sticks to herself, perfectly happy to sell out anyone and anything for a few gold pieces. | She had an older brother and mother, but with all of the chaos after her father died and then the throne was left empty, she lost them both and now suspects they are hiding out or living in Triton or a neighbouring country. She no longer cares for them and believes they abandoned her. |

Aa here's a quick starter for the market)) Peyton turned his shoulder to avoid colliding into a rude merchant passing by. He cast him a scornful glance but made no attempt to demand an apology, not caring enough to start such a scene. He couldn't blame the people of Galena for being anxious, admittedly he was as well, with King Fredrick IV dead things were constantly moving at a confusingly fast pace. He didn't feel right leaving the palace at a time like this but he figured he couldn't stay cooped up in there forever and who knew how long it would take for things to settle down. He weaved through the crowded market, completely lost in his thoughts and worries.

Jocosa was watching, and waiting. Waiting and watching. It seemed that was all she did nowadays. That wasn't quite true, though, the waiting and watching were just part of her job, and she was very busy right now. With the fall of Galena's king and no appointed heir to the throne, the royals were all scrambling to get rid of each other. Shuffling her feet, she released a barely audible sigh from her slightly parted lips. She'd spent hours watching the market stall and had yet to see her target. That was the hard part about her job, getting into the right role to get to your actual victim, and to do that with royals, you had to get to the people below them. Today Jocosa was after a particular servant, a hand maid in fact. Today she was also feeling particularly bored. Scanning the crowd once more, her green-eyed gaze landed on a particular guard. Peyton. She hadn't seen him in years. Abandoning her carefully selected position, Jocosa fell into step behind the person she used to know. Now this would be an interesting use to the rest of her day. A curious soul, Jocosa was planning on trailing her once friend, maybe she could get into the castle quicker this way.

Peyton raised his eyebrows as he watched a young boy grab some beads from the ground, his gaze following him as he darted off through the crowd. The guard figured that if the necklace had any value it would've been kept off the dirt and there forth gave no thought to the scene. It would be impossible to stop every thief he came across anyway, and it wasn't exactly his job either. Most merchants could handle themselves when it came to criminals anyway, most bearing knives within their stands if anyone tried to make a quick grab at anything worth protecting. He remained oblivious to his shadow stalking him, mistaking the girl as just another body in the hustling crowd. He turned to listen to a particularly loud conversation about the lack of authority in the kingdom between two women, cocking his eyebrow with interest.

Jocosa watched the boy grab the beads and make a run for it. He had a lot to learn in the art of subtlety but he would probably be one of the few street rats that could actually make it. Watching as he disappeared into the crowd, a small smile formed on Jocosa's face as she lost him. Yes, he would definately be one of the few to make it if he could disappear like that, she thought. The orphans on the street were one of her greatest sources of information, willing to speak up about pretty much anything for a handful of coins, you just had to know were to find them. That was the hard part. Her thoughts now occupied with making plans to find the kid who had told her about the seemingly wrong information, Jocosa made a mistake that she shouldn't have. She'd taken her eyes off of Peyton. And because he had paused, she ran almost full on into his back. "Fool." She muttered under her breath to herself, cursing her lack of attention. She didn't make mistakes. Mistakes meant she got caught. And getting caught meant, well...nothing good.

The women he'd briefly stopped to listen to weren't as exciting as he'd been hoping. Mostly they were just expressing their concerns fairly appropriately and he had no reason to fret over their words but a near collision behind him caused him to turn his head. He raised his eyebrows and grinned as he recognized the face he was looking at, decently pleased and surprised all in one. "Jocosa? Wow," he placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her aside out of the way of other passing civilians. "It's been a long time, what happened to you?" He inquired, looking her up and down. She surpringly didn't look very different than when he last saw her which only made the event more nostalgic.

{{ I'm assuming for a talking point that Peyton has some kind of crest on or is in armour or whatever to signify he's a guard }}
Slightly surprised at the warm welcome, considering her profession, Jocosa was caught off guard (no pun intended) as Peyton pulled her to the side, out of the way of the crowd of people still pushing past each other. Hoping it would just seem as if she to was surprised at the sudden reunion, she forced herself to smile warmly at him. "Peyton!" She greeted enthusiasticaly, maybe just a little too much to be real. "What happened to me?" She repeated the question lightly, "What happened to you? A guard now hey?" she mused, hoping to get the topic of conversation off of herself. If he started asking questions then she'd have to lie to him. Not that she had a problem with that as such, it was more so the fact that Peyton had always been able to see through her lies. Maybe things had changed since then though. It had been a long time and she'd had plenty of practice at lying since then.

Auden looked out to the Tritonian countryside, his multi-colored eyes keen and wandering. He turned his back on the beautiful view, facing his private study. The crown prince slowly inhaled and exhaled. With the neighboring country and unofficial enemy, Galena, on the brink of shambles, Auden could guess what his father would want to do. He faintly remembered the princess - Lily, or Lila - and playing with her in the woods when they were children, their parents having diplomatic meetings. But those inter-country gatherings were soon replaced by war meetings in heir own, seperate nations. He shook his head, knowing that to try and reason with Damon was useless. The king was as stubborn as a mule, but so was the crown prince. And he wouldn’t entertain war - or the battle of wits - longer than he had to.

((Probably lmao))
Peyton cocked his eyebrow at her friendly response, not remembering her to be so excitable. He noticed that she avoided answering his question but didn't think about it too much, not considering that the answer would be something like the truth. He gave a flustered smirk as she praised him for his position, looking around at the people pushing past. "Oh yeah, a lots happened since I saw you last." He said, wondering how much he'd missed in her life. "You look great," he said, not in a flirtatious manner but made it more of a friendly polite comment.

"It certainly seems so." Jocosa agreed, in the back of her mind considering how much she had changed. She'd always kind of figured that Peyton would end up here. Well, not here exactly, but in a similar position. Someone of rank who would be there to help other people. What she hadn't thought would happen was where she would be at this time. An ex-street rat and assassin. Her job now was to destroy what Peyton was working to maintain, the lives of the royals. But she couldn't let him know that. "Thanks," she replied, as he said she looked great, and then, with a small start, she realised that she needed to start acting normally. If she kept up this reserved attitude then Peyton would be sure to ask questions. "Sorry, I've just got a lot on my mind right now. What do you think about going somewhere a little less crowded? We can do a proper catch up. And you can tell me all about how you became a guard, hey?" she suggested.

Lucia grimaced as she limped past the guard training area, unable to hold back a scoff as she saw them fighting. They fought too..:clean. If they really wanted to win a battle, they would probably want a few dirty tricks up their sleeves - or armor. But the ginger supposed that was just her. She had learned her way of fighting in the streets and as far as she knew, it worked. Well, except for last night. She winced as she remembered the vivid battle between her and Lord Byron’s personal guard. Whoever the guard was, he had taken a good gash out of her shin. But it would heal, as long as it caught no infection. The young woman pulled her deep red cloak around her, shivering slightly.

Peyton hoped she didn't want to know too much about his job, especially considering he still wasn't certain of her occupation. He knew Jocosa was one to act for her own benefits and although he personally trusted her he wasn't sure if revealing his secrets would be the best idea for the already chaotic empire. Still, he wasn't about to resfuse a reunion with an old friend. "I should probably make it quick but definitely, let's get out of the market." He turned, noticing that the two women he'd stopped to eavesdrop on were now watching him. He offered the two an innocent smile before pushing past, indicating for Jocosa to follow with a nod of his head. "You'll need to tell me about yourself as well, you've been quiet." He pointed out teasingly, casting a mildly suspicious but not cold look over his shoulder.

I think they should be good! But we'll see what Des will say. c: Welcome!
That sounds like a good idea to me, Minty! If Des is cool with a few other random kingdoms that aren't involved, that would be great.

𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔢𝔫 could we RP with Lucia and Icarus for now? Maybe have her try to kill a random Triton noble? It says she’s loyal to the kingdom of Triton, but it’s suppoused to be whoever pays the most. )
