OC looking to RP?

So, some of you know I’ve been going through a rough time. My ex friend and I had a 400 page multi generation story going with our OC’s. Well, that’s over now and I miss doing stuff with my Oc’s. They can be in multiple fandoms, but they were originally written for RDR. (unfortunately, no cowboy/cowgirl pics from the faceclaims.) One is a lesbian, one is bisexual. Both open to romance if the chemistry is right. I’ve been rping for years! Let’s talk. : ) I also rp Abigail and have been for years. Names are links to bios!

Alexander Malinov NOTE: stuck on a face claim for him!

The Turmoil and Transition: Bulgaria in the Aftermath of World War I

Ferdinand’s Dilemma

As World War I drew to a close, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria found himself at the helm of a mutinous army and a nation on the brink of rebellion. Faced with internal unrest and external defeats, Ferdinand sought a change in government to navigate Bulgaria through the turbulent post-war period.

Malinov’s Leadership and Entente’s Blow

Prime Minister Malinov, leader of the Democratic Party, enjoyed favor in Paris and London. However, by September 1918, it was too late to salvage Bulgaria’s fortunes. The Bulgarian army suffered a significant defeat by the Entente forces in Macedonia, leading to a humiliating partial military occupation in Thessaloniki on September 29. Forced to disband its army, Ferdinand saw abdication as the only recourse and passed the throne to his first-born son, Boris, on October 3, 1918.

The Unfavorable Winds of Peace

Despite the change in leadership, Bulgaria faced an uncertain future at the peace conference. The Treaty of Neuilly, confirmed on November 27, 1919, delivered a severe blow by depriving Bulgaria of its access to the Aegean. This outcome marked the onset of a second national catastrophe, leaving the nation grappling with the repercussions of war and unfavorable diplomatic terms.

The Integrator

With King Boris III at the helm, Bulgaria entered a new era characterized by reconstruction and attempts at integration. Boris III, known as “The Integrator,” faced the formidable task of rebuilding a nation scarred by war and diplomatic setbacks Sightseeing Turkey.

Stamboliyski Regime: Coping with Crisis

The aftermath of the war brought about an economic crisis in Bulgaria, fueling discontent and resentment against parties perceived to have led the country into military conflicts. Alexander Stamboliyski, leader of the Agrarian Union party, assumed leadership, tasked with signing the Treaty of Neuilly. Stamboliyski’s regime grappled with strikes, inflation, and a ration system while navigating the challenges of post-war recovery.

A Nation in Flux

As Bulgaria transitioned from the tumultuous years of World War I, it faced internal and external challenges that shaped its trajectory in the interwar period. The reign of King Boris III and the Stamboliyski regime marked pivotal moments in Bulgaria’s efforts to rebuild, integrate, and find stability amidst the aftermath of a devastating war.

Bulgaria's Political Landscape in the Interwar Years

Seeds of Division

As the 1920s unfolded, Bulgaria found itself deeply divided, setting the stage for decades of political intolerance and uncontrolled violence.

The Rise of Red Terror

Inspired by Moscow, the Communist Party leaders embraced terror as a means of political struggle, leading to the initiation of the “red terror.” This dark chapter reached its peak on April 16, 1925, with a horrific explosion at the church of St. Sabbath in Sofia. The failed attempt on the life of the King and attending ministers resulted in the loss of hundreds of innocent lives. In response, the government unleashed a period of fierce “white terror,” marked by arrests, torture, and executions, causing international condemnation and a significant decline in government authority. By early 1926, Professor Tsankov resigned.

Lyapchev’s Attempt at Reconciliation

The subsequent government, led by Andrei Lyapchev, aimed at achieving national reconciliation and restoring part of Bulgaria’s international prestige. However Sightseeing Turkey, the rise of fascism in Italy and national-socialism in Germany led to the emergence of pro-fascist organizations in Bulgaria, notably the People’s Social Movement.

The Impact of the Great Depression

The Great Depression of 1929 further destabilized Lyapchev’s cabinet, as unemployment and impoverishment sparked social indignation. In the summer of 1931, the People’s Block coalition, led by Alexander Malinov, won a sweeping victory in parliamentary elections, but the government struggled to overcome the economic remnants of the global crisis.

The Emergence of the “Monarch-Fascist Dictatorship”

In 1933, Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ Party came to power in Germany, prompting Bulgaria to reevaluate its foreign policy. Following Hitler’s example, King Boris III sought to revise post-war borders. Despite not joining the Balkan Treaty Organization in 1934, Bulgaria faced internal strife and political turmoil.

In conclusion, the interwar years in Bulgaria were marked by a series of tumultuous events, including political violence, economic challenges, and shifting foreign policies. The nation grappled with internal conflicts and external influences that would shape its trajectory in the years to come.

The crappy photoshop is a bonus for y'all. Graphic design is not my passion. : P Seb is a lot easier to find pics for, imo. Sometimes, Alex goes undercover which allows him to be a bit of a chameleon. Dan has a lot of the vibes that I like, but he tends to have one look, which if Alex isn't undercover, totally works. I'm interested in vibes or if the info helps! He is mainly a Red Dead Redemption OC, but I've placed him in a Modern Au, Vampire AU, and DND verse.

Name: Dr. Aleksandr Nikolai Malinov (Anglicized name: Alexander Malin) Age: 35

Personality: Seemingly extroverted, friendly, polite, and charming. Secretly, he is an anxious introvert. Like his sister Natalia, he is also very intelligent but is more cunning due to his life experiences. While bright enough to complete medical training, he decided to pursue other options in secret. He has a keen mind for strategy and thinking outside of the box and likes to play chess to stay sharp. Alex has been described as very slippery and always has an escape route in mind. He has no issues doing what needs to be done, no matter what. He will seduce, intimidate, kill, or bribe whoever he needs to. Like Nat, it is difficult to know what he really thinks of someone or something - this is in part due to his Russian culture.

 He’ll shift like a chameleon to whatever that person likes or dislikes. However, he knows himself better than he’d like to admit.  Despite this, he puts on a face to hide the deep anger, sadness, and pain he holds inside. He has a lot of self-loathing and tends to brood. In addition, he has extreme self-destructive tendencies. He loves his sister but feels very pressured to provide and be a good influence. However, he knows that he can’t be her knight in shining armor. If anything, she is a good influence on him. He can be a very sweet and loving person when he feels safe enough to do so. Secretly, he would like nothing more than to settle down, get married, and have children. He is the polar opposite of Nat in this matter - but he’s a commitment-phobe due to his anxiety and life situations. Show patience and genuine interest and he’s bound to put those walls down. His bio is here.

However, breaking free from the Sultan’s dependence, dictated by the Treaty of Berlin, became a prerequisite. The favorable climate in 1908, marked by the Young Turk revolution, set the stage for change in the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans Private Turkey Tours.

Bulgaria’s Declaration of Independence

Following an unofficial agreement between Sofia and Vienna, a historic event unfolded on September 22, 1908, in the medieval Bulgarian capital city, Turnovo. Bulgaria was solemnly declared an independent state. Prince Ferdinand assumed the coveted title “King of the Bulgarians” in this significant moment.

Triumph Amid Struggles

Bulgaria’s journey toward autonomy and independence marked a challenging period. From clashes with Turkish rule to diplomatic challenges, the path was arduous. The declaration of independence in 1908 represented a triumph, signaling a new chapter in Bulgaria’s history.**
