β½ Meviah βΎ the Blue Kingdom of Sea and Sky Deniz ve GΓΆkyΓΌzΓΌ Mavi KrallΔ±ΔΔ±
Introduction Meviah is a large island kingdom, unlike any other in the world. Also called "The Blue Island", humans only make up a bit more than half of the total island's population. This island is the home of and only place in the world where griffins can be found. The griffins, almost as intelligent as humans and having the ability to speak, read, and write, are mainly treated just as any other citizen of the kingdom, with the only exception that they cannot become any kind of royalty or rulers over Meviah.
Meviah The island itself is made of sandstone. It has a dusty sandy terrain with lots of shrubs, bushes, thin grass and short olive and grape trees similar to that of a Mediterranean coastal landscape. Hardly any part of the island is flat, with smooth sloping hills, it's a calm and pleasant looking place. The castle is at the center-North of the island, atop the largest of the cliffs. Most of the greater buildings and higher class homes are intricately designed structures of smooth marble with dome roofs, minarets and obelisks, while lower class houses are usually made from clay bricks and wood.
Griffins Half-large cat breed, half bird species, griffins are not strictly speaking a hybrid of eagles and lions but can be hybrids of any kind of large cat and bird. They come in all different coat colours, shapes, sizes, from as small as a parrot to as big as a horse. Their bird talons are usually on their front legs, allowing them to grasp things and if trained, learn to write, much better than if they were paws. Before humans came to the island it was home to a few separate griffin colonies that lived on the coastal cliffs of the island. Griffins mainly eat fish but will eat any kind of meat and sometimes fruits. Griffins are born from eggs and are given names based on the time, weather, or season that they hatch. They have names like "Raining Sunrise" and "Winter Night." Griffins are fully grown adults at 5 years old and live up to about 40-50 years old. Male griffins are referred to as "tiercels" and female griffins are referred to as "harpies", or sometimes as "hens" when they are nesting and taking care of eggs.
Plot(s) One dynasty passes to another. The old Demir king's dynasty seemed to end when his wife, the queen, escaped the palace in the middle of the night. Rumours abounded over why the queen had disappeared, but the Demir king never remarried for another 20 years until his death and never had any known heirs. Upon his death, one of the noble families of Meviah, the Kargas, came to power and put their eldest son Serhan on the throne. Unknown to her at the time, the Demir king's queen was pregnant at the time of her disappearance into an ordinary peasant life hidden in the rural hills of the island, away from the capitol. Her daughter, named Fione, is now 20 years old, has just learned from her dying mother's last words that she is the princess and true heir of Meviah, and now she raises a rebel army to take her throne back from the Kargas.
The king has been betrothed to one of the noble women, and a ball will be held in honor of their engagement and coming marriage.

|| Serhan Karga | Human | M | 25 | King of Meviah || Serhan is a pretty ordinary looking guy, often making people second guess that he is actually king, not that he ever expected to be. Standing at 5'10" he has a lean build, wider shoulders and upper torso, slight olive skin tone and light brown eyes. His hair is a dark tawny brown, wavy and kept short. He normally wears dark blue or navy, dressing formally but not lavishly, and almost never wears any jewelry. He was placed as the king after the last dynasty fell by his aging father and the other noble houses who agreed to it. The eldest son of his family he naturally takes to big responsibilities. He's not ambitious, at least not for the time being. He's mostly concerned with catching up on how to rule and to be a good ruler at that, although most days he still feels a little in over his head so he relies a bit too heavily on his advisor and the noble families' advice. He doubts himself often but after almost a year of ruling so far he's learned to hide it from the other members of court.
|| Merve | Human | F | 20 | Palace Cook || Merve is a tall woman standing at 5'11" with a very thin delicate frame and tan olive skin. She has bright lips and dark eyes and hair that goes down just past her shoulders. She normally wears her white and blue uniform around the palace, while being the palace cook she is also in charge of most of the servants that move around the palace. WIP
|| Gokhan Terzi | Human | M | 23 | King's Guard || Gokhan is a tall, wide and strong man with tan skin and dark, almost black hair. He has wide shoulders, a strong build, and stands at about 6 feet tall. He usually keeps his hair fairly long and tied back, with a substantial beard. He has striking bright sea blue eyes.
|| Cold Morning | Griffin | M | 44 | Rebel Princess's Adviser || Cold Morning, sometimes nicknamed "Sabah" (which means 'morning'), is a small older snowy white griffin who acts as the rebel princess's adviser and closest companion. He's a gyrfalcon-snowleopard hybrid with a pretty plumage of white feathers covered with grey speckles along his wings, hindlegs, legs and snout. He has golden-brown eyes and is a smaller griffin, too small for riding, standing on all fours with his head at about the height of a person's elbow, so the only ones who could ride his back are children. But not just because of his size, his age also means he's not as strong or active as he once was, and mostly focuses on things like politics, strategy, and his job as adviser to the princess. He's wise, pragmatic and one of the few griffins who has trained his talons to hold a pen so he can write.
Rainy
|| Adelaide Bonshire | Human | F | 20 | Palace Servant || Adelaide is a young, pretty girl who stands at an average height of about 5'4". She has long, naturally wavy, dirty blonde hair that's usually kept in a low braided chignon where some of her baby hairs curl around her face. Adelaide has big, blue eyes with flecks of hazel around her pupil, and delicate facial features with freckles dusting her cheeks and nose that stand out against her fair complexion. She has slender shoulders with wider hips, average build but still slightly toned from the years of working. There isn't much else that she wears when working around the palace other than her servant's clothes, though when she has to go into town she'll wear a slightly nicer gown. A somewhat shy girl, Adelaide holds her tongue and mainly keeps to herself, though has bouts of confidence where she'll speak up. This doesn't happen often because of her work place where she's been taught to always keep her mouth shut, except when she's around the other servant's. However, when she is around people that she feels she can trust, Adelaide can be quite the social butterfly. She loves to tell stories, make other people laugh and loves to laugh herself. She can be quite skittish, is easily startled and gets frustrated with herself because of this. While she is rather quiet, Adelaide can also be quite stubborn and often has to bite her tongue to keep from saying something she knows she'll later regret. Adelaide grew up as a servant girl, her mother having been a servant herself and died after childbirth. There's rumors that Adelaide's mother was having an affair with a passing Duke who was staying in the palace at the time, there's also rumors that her father was one of the King's guards, or even a knight as her mother wasn't married at the time. Either way, Adelaide was basically born an orphan with no idea who her parents were. She's never known any other life than a servant's life, and that's something she doesn't really mind. Adelaide has quite the beautiful singing voice and is often found humming to herself, or singing while she's doing her work when she's alone.
|| Beatrice "Bea" Whitewood | Human | F | 23 | Duchess - Future Queen | Rainyπ¨|| Beatrice, or rather affectionally known as "Bea" to her close friends and family, is a shorter woman who stands at about 5'2" though she is almost constantly wearing heels which cause her to be a couple of inches taller. Bea has rather pale skin, with a soft, round face and perky lips. She has very dark, ebony black hair that's usually styled into a very intricate updo, with a pair of big, hazel eyes with more flecks of green in them. Beatrice is usually wearing rather decadent yellow or lavender dresses that make the green in her eyes pop. Beatrice is a rather charming girl, almost always with a smile on her face. She loves to joke around and hang out with friends, loving her care-free life. Bea has a hard time following the rules, wanting to live by her own rules in stead of someone else's. So, the idea that she has to become the new Queen of Meviah frightens her. It's not that she doesn't want to marry the King, it's just the thought of becoming the matriarch of a country she's not apart of causes her a lot of stress and anxiety, afraid to fail. Despite her outgoing personality, Beatrice can become easily flustered and upset and has trouble holding back on expressing her thoughts. Growing up in a noble family, Beatrice had a pretty relaxed life, only having to follow a few social guidelines. She paid very little attention to politics, despite her father being a politician, and it came as a total shock when she was told that she was to be betrothed to the new King of Meviah. Serhan - FiancΓ© Beatrice has very little interest in becoming queen, but knows there's nothing she can do about the engagement. It's really only for the sake of her country, and family, that she's going along with it.
π A Sad Blue Diamond π
|| Celena Ashdown | Human | Female | 20 | Head of the King's Guard || Celena is a fairly tall and beautiful young woman. She stands at six feet tall with light sand skin. Even with all her rigorous training, her body is lean and has it's natural beauty to it. Curves and all. She has long black hair thta runs down her back and ends at her thighs. Her eyes are blue and green and are cat like in shape. Usually she is seen wearing her full armor with the emblem of the king on it. Other times she is seen with a tight black top and loose fitting pants that are light beige in color. Even with all that, she has no scars anywhere on her body and would like to keep it that way. It would ruin her tattoos anyways. Celena is mostly known to a beautiful yet Angry and fearful leader. She is almost always Angry and her soldiers and yelling at them. On better days, she is more relaxed but can still be snippy as can be. With her kind of reputation, you would expect her to be serious about her job. Well she is also a huge flirt. She would gladly hook up with anyone either man or woman. When you get to know her well enough, Celena is a kind woman but she would rather not show it because she takes it as a sign of weakness and would injure her reputation and ego. Celena's history is not a great one. Once when she was young, she had all she wanted. A loving family, food on the table, and a great home to live in. Well one day that was taken away by the rebels who strippd her of everything except her baby brother. They had to survive on the streets for a long time and that is where Celena learned to fend for herself. When the opportunity came, she was enlisted to train to be a King's Guard. She rose in the ranks and broke records. When the day came, she and brother had to part ways so Celena could be the leader. Ever since, her brother has been living the high life while she works hard to keep her King safe.
β½Boopβ½
|| Fione Demir | Human | F | 20 | Rebel Princess | @/berrysong || A tall woman, Fione stands at about 5β9. She has a light complexion. Her hair is chestnut brown and very long; itβs almost always tied back in a high ponytail that ends at about her mid-back. Her eyes are a cinnamon-brown color and are framed by dark lashes. When she isnβt wearing a set of leather armor with a signature red cloak, she can be seen in simple travelerβs garb - tunics of various subdued colors and leather pants, sturdy boots. Fione is a rather headstrong, stubborn character. She is compelled to move forward by a strong sense of duty to her familyβs throne and to the people who follow her. She is also rather quiet in a sense, only speaking if itβs necessary. She would die for her people if it came to it.

Levent paced around one of the side halls around the garden wing of the palace. Thinking about the tough meeting with his counsellors and advisor he'd just left, pinching the bridge of his nose and furrowing his brow in frustration. So now there were rumours of some "lost princess". Just what he needed, not that he even knew where to begin with making sense of it. He'd be naive to think that the people would just ignore it and continue to accept him as king.
Midnight was hard working at her forge, making a new batch of swords ordered by the military. She dropped the next finished iron sword on the pile of about a dozen others. She huffed, her work never seemed to be done. Once I'm done with this, I can close shop for a while and spend some much needed alone time by the coast. She repeated the thought in her head over and over to get herself through it.

Usually fancy dresses and sometimes a few fancy gowns. Loves diamond jewelry and wears it a whole lot. Kind and loyal to anyone and everyone no matter what. History is pretty average. Grew up rich and knows no other life. Inherited her mothers money when she died. Levent Karga (Future-Husband) Michael "Mikey" Rose (Long Lost Brother)

(there are no positions for princes or princesses as the king isnβt married nor has he had any children yet. You can make a character who is the kingβs you ger sister but then sheβd just be high class and not a princess) (i think she meant the Unknown Princess.)

Here is my thief duo! I'll probably make more characters later.)
|| Heat Storm | Griffin | M | 6 years | Outcast | ππππππππππππ ||
Heat Storm is half peregrine falcon half cheetah griffin. He has a small but lithe build. Speed is his best asset and he is known for being one of the faster griffins. However his small build gives him little advantage against those bigger than him. He has pretty silver feathers that end about halfway down his body and gradually turn into the spotted fur of a cheetah. His eyes are a firey amber and his beak and talons are a yellow color. His ears are tall and spotted. His tail ends in a feathered tip that is the same color as his wings. He is a very energetic and temperamental person. His boisterous nature however can attract unwanted attention which for someone on the run is not good. This does not bother him and he tends to ignore any problems he may cause by doing this. Despite this, he is surprisingly considerate of others feelings and insecurities. Heat Storm is generally too worked up and he is not known to think before he speaks. He'd rather jump into battle than wait and see what happens. Heat Storm was originally imprisoned for stealing, though after escaping he didn't learn obviously and is still 'in the business'. He was born during a dry thunderstorm, giving him his name. He was given to an orphanage as an egg and being poor pushed him to become a thief. Despite all this he is generally well liked and can make friend with almost anyone due to his upbeat attitude. He is close friends with Luca. Other
I was looking through desert weather and saw that dry lightning is also called a heat storm I just had to use it haha)
|| Lucas (Luca) | Human | M| 17 | Outcast | ππππππππππππ ||
Luca stands at a relatively average height of 5'7", though he insists he's at least 5'8" and has the lean but built body of a dancer. He has long and strong arms and legs and a natural grace to him. This grace likely coming from his mothers side. Luca has wavy unkempt black hair and dark gray eyes. He wears fingerless black wraps that start wrapping around his middle finger and go over his palms, running up his arms likes sleeves that end in golden cuffs on his upper arms. He wears a tight fitting black shirt with a cloak, or whatever top he is wearing that day, over it. His pants are lose fitting for movement and are white in color. Luca is used to comfortable clothing and tends to lean towards comfort rather than usability. He has scars that wind around his wrists and up his forearms from the attempts to fix his weak arms from his childhood. Well known for his play boy attitude and smart tongue Luca is a flirt. He would most likely flirt with anything as long as he finds them attractive. He's rather confident in his abilities. However this is mostly a persona he puts up to be less conspicuous. When he doesn't have to put up a front he is much more quite and solem. His mother was a street performer and of the lower class. She taught him to dance since he was young and Luca uses that as a cover to not only make a bit of money but also scout out places to steal from. He was born with weak arms but has slowly strengthened them through the years. Attempts to fix his arms have left them scarred. His mother died when he was 12. Partners in crime with Heat Storm. The two have known each other for years and are friends. He is skilled in close combat as well as using knives both theatrically and as a weapon.
So I wasn't positive if we could rp things like merchants, musicians, dancers, etc. So I hope this is fine!)

Luca strolled into the blacksmith shop. His knife, which was already beat up before, had broken and he really needed a new one. The shows weren't anywhere near as fun if there wasn't a little danger in them. He offered the griffin a smile and looked around for one he liked. Heat Storm followed him in, chatting about the fish he had eaten this morning, knowing that Luca wasn't really paying attention but not minding.

Busy in her work she didn't notice Luca had come in until she heard Heat Storm talking. Midnight Hail looked up before she went back into forging another sword, glancing at the two of them now and again, her tail flicking back and forth. "What can I help you two with?" She called.

Luca walked up to her "Hello! I'm looking for something as good as or better than this." he showed her his broken knife. In it's prime it had been a decent knife. Something that he had stolen, but that wasn't important right now. He had some throwing knives, but would like to have a larger one as well.
