After everyone puts up their first template, Emi and I will put up our second (if she still wants to) and I’ll need someone to be the Unsavoury woman antagonist

@blue_topaz

So, we definitely don’t have to follow any of this, but just for a loose list of possible ships, here are the romantic pairings that I wrote in the story (by me) that I based this rp off:

• Victoire+Young man who comes to order for help
• One of the Ladies+the Postman
• Unsavoury Woman falls in love with Postman, who has already fallen for the Lady mentioned above
• Unsavoury Man falls for Unsavoury Woman, who doesn’t love him back
• two of the Ladies have a secret relationship

We totally don’t have to follow any of these, just putting some ideas out there!

@blue_topaz

Let’s see how things go, see how our characters interact with eachother, then hash out proper ships, that was just a list of possible ideas to put into consideration

Name: Nicolette "Nicole/Nicky" Beauregard
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Role: One of the ladies
Appearance: Nicole is 5' 11", with fair skin, a snub nose, glittering blue eyes and curly dark brown hair that falls to her shoulders, normally tied up to keep out of her eyes. She has a small mole at the corner of her right eye, a pear-shaped form, heavily muscled. A small scar on the back of her right hand from a fencing accident. Don't worry-she beat the ever-living crap out of the guy who gave it to her.
General Attire: A blue frock coat with gold embroidery and black inner lining and brass buttons, cream coloured trousers, a red cravat, and leather boots secured by silver buckles.
Personality: Nicolette is an adrenaline junkie, always going out and doing extremely dangerous stunts. A heavy drinker, she has even less self-awareness when intoxicated. Flirtatious and a skilled seductress, she has a history of bringing home lovers of any gender for one-night stands. Is practically allergic to commitment, so far having no lasting relationships. However, when it comes to advice on how to stab some asshat who insulted your friend, she can most definitely provide, and is very loving and supportive of her fellow Ladies.
Flaws: Hot-headed, rash, not the best at relationships, extremely reckless, and a bad follower of orders.
Backstory: Nicolette had quite the piece of work for a dad. Her father would fence nonstop during the day, and hit up gambling dens, bars, and brothels in the evenings, and was highly abusive to her mother, whom Nicky loved very much. Given the seedy circles in which he ran, it should be little surprise that his main ideas for father-daughter bonding time were a) teaching her how to use deadly weapons, and b) using said weapons to drive off any potential suitors. At the age of fifteen, she was sent off to spend some time with a wealthy uncle. By the end of the day, he was fed up with her outlandish behavior and sent her home, only for Nicole to find her mother dead of "unknown causes". At eighteen, she earned her living through singing and dueling demonstrations, usually dressed as a man, since fencing in a dress would be considerably more difficult. She was already so skilled with the sword at this point in her life that audiences sometimes would not believe that she was actually a woman. In fact, when one drunken onlooker proclaimed loudly that she was actually a man, she tore off her shirt, providing him ample evidence to the contrary. The heckler had no comeback. Another singer started talking shit about a number of women, including Nicky. She responded by ambushing him, pushing a sword in his face, and demanding a duel. When he refused, she beat him with a cane, stealing his coin purse. The next day, she caught him complaining that he had been assaulted by a gang of thieves. She called him a liar and a coward, threw his purse at him, and declared that she, alone, had architected his ass-beating.However, after beating up some shits and saving a woman from sexual assault, she had to run. Apparently, the assulters were sons of an upper-class gentleman, who had no qualms with sending hitmen after her for a painful lesson. She ran away, finding the Crimson Order and joining it for a life of crime (stopping) and adventure.
Other: The previously mentioned "unknown causes" that killed her mother just might come up again…. (meaning: still unbeknownst to Nicolette, her father beat her mother to death, but nobody ever found out. If it's alright, could this point come up in the plot sometime later?) and also I'm terrible at characters sorry.

Side note: Nicolette may seem familiar, and that's purposeful! She is heavily based off of historical figure Julie d'Aubigny, the infamous swordswoman and opera singer. I even based some of her backstory off of Julie. However, Nicolette is an actual character from one of my novels, fret not! I've spent quite some time developing her. Hope you like Nicky, and if I need to change anything at all, just say the word. I can do whatever works best for you.
