[saltkissed]

[ oktay cubuk, he/him, nonbinary ] — was that NADIR GULSE? the TWENTY-SIX year old is a GENTLEMAN & SHIP CAPTAIN, how exciting to see them this season! rumors have it they are EQUABLE and INTUITIVE, but i’ve heard they are BRAZEN and APATHETIC as well — maybe that’s why they’ve been called the MAVERICK. I have even heard that HE ARRIVED IN LONDON AN ASSASSIN IN DISGUISE —only time will tell.

— penned by karin.

⤷ &. INTRO

character summary: a gentleman (debatable) hailing all the way from antalya, turkey. just arrived in england a few months before the season started after his aunt and uncle wrote to his parents about opportunities aplenty in the country. sailed with his sibling(s) on his ship and is presently wishing that he could return to said ship and sail away again. his entire life is defined by the sea and his affinity for it. more sea beast than human, honestly. does not care for polite english society and wishes he could go swimming with sharks, but alas. here to stir some trouble because he's bored. also definitely not an assassin in disguise, but does nothing to quell any rumors.

inspiration: nikolai lantsov (if he was unhinged) — shadow & bone trilogy, house greyjoy — a song of ice and fire, this quote (in the context of wanting to go out with a bang) — the ghost bride.

aesthetic: eyes glittering in sunlight, the taste of sea salt, sharp teeth bared, a broken compass.

⤷ &. BASICS

full name: nadir gulse.

age: twenty-six.  

place of birth: antalya, turkey.

gender: nonbinary.

pronouns: he/him.

sexual orientation: bisexual. 

religion: born muslim; atheist.

family: arda & jale gulse (parents). three unnamed siblings.

languages: turkish (native), arabic (fluent), english (conversational), persian (rudimentary).

profession: captain of the iron kiss & rich kid. not an assassin despite what lady whistledown says.

label: the maverick.

⤷ &. STORY

the water beat against the shoreline just outside of the window when nadir was born—tide high on that one late summer night. the third gulse child, welcomed by his father, mother, and the sea.

he was no older than four when his eldest sibling taught him how to swim, and he has yet to look back at the shore ever since then. the day he almost drowned was the day he fell in love with the violence of the ocean.

nadir grew strong and brutal—almost wild. it matters not that the gulses are members of antalya's high society, arda's merchant background and jale's military roots will not dictate nadir how he must behave. and who is there to stop him? he is but a third child, with an elder sister and brother to bear the brunt of responsibilities while he spent his days swimming and sailing, seabound and shipbound.

on his 14th birthday his father gifted him a boat. it was small, no bigger than a fisherman's boat, but it was his pride and joy. until the day he was granted his ship. he called it the iron kiss and named himself captain. it was his many voyages across the ottoman empire and beyond that filled most of his days.

it's one day not long after his 25th birthday that his parents received a letter. from an aunt, and uncle, and cousins nadir have never met. they're in england, he knows. his father's younger sister, who married another wealthy merchant seeking to grow his business on foreign lands. my dearest brother, the letter read. send your children to england.

and so arda had. nadir was tasked to take his siblings on the iron kiss, to bring them safely to the shores of england. they were to meet his aunt in a quaint town called brighton.

it was the preparations for the social season that awaited them there. his aunt and uncle were so sure that the gulse siblings would find opportunities in the capitol city of london. riches and maybe even love, they said. the mysterious new arrivals would surely do wonders for nadir's own cousins.

so nadir docked his ship. he let himself be led by his aunt and uncle all the way to london, already dreaming of the season's end. but for now, without the ocean at his window— what better way can he entertain himself than to bare his teeth and play with fire?

⤷ &. WANTED CONNECTIONS

his family! in my mind nadir has three siblings, two older and one younger. some of them would've came with him from antalya. also his cousins, who likely grew up in england.

proper gentlemen and ladies. they probably would find nadir distasteful and he Does Not Care. it would be very funny.

fellow menaces. people who he is on good terms with because they too are an acquired taste.

admirers...? i don't think anyone should admire nadir but i imagine that his free spirit would have attracted some attention. he would also probably be bad influence.

people he kisses. not saying nadir's a hoe but well... it doesn't really take much to convince him to kiss someone, honestly.

anything and everything! he's not very kind or friendly but he is outgoing and sociable.

Turizmi 12 aya yayacak Şehri Keşfet, Avrupa pazarına çıkıyor

https://pazaryerigundem.com/haber/189476/turizmi-12-aya-yayacak-sehri-kesfet-avrupa-pazarina-cikiyor/

Turizmi 12 aya yayacak Şehri Keşfet, Avrupa pazarına çıkıyor

Muratpaşa Belediye Başkanı Ümit Uysal, Antalya Turizm Fuarı’nın ‘Destinasyon Forumu’nda, kitle turizminin devler liginde yer alan Antalya’da turizmi 12 aya yayacak Şehri Keşfet tur paketinin gelecek hafta Avrupa pazarında satışa çıkacağını söyledi.  

ANTALYA (İGFA) – Başkan Uysal, 5 ülkeden 25 binin üzerinde turizm profesyonelinin katılımıyla Antalya Expo Center’da düzenlenen Antalya Turizm Fuarı’nın ‘Destinasyon Forumu’nda konuştu. Erkan Yıldırım, Batuğhan Karaer ve Alican Demir’in de konuşmacı olarak yer aldığı forumda Başkan Uysal, 17-20 Ekim tarihlerinde 9’uncusu gerçekleştirilen Kaleiçi Old Town Festivali’nin önemli parçası olduğu Kaleiçi’nde gerçekleştirdikleri çalışmaları paylaştı.

Bugün Kaleiçi’nin artık 12 ay turizmin devam ettiği bir destinasyon haline geldiğini aktaran Başkan Uysal, şimdi bu çalışmayı ‘Şehri Keşfet’ sloganıyla Antalya’ya uygulamaya başladıklarını söyledi. Başkan Uysal, şöyle konuştu:

“Antalya’nın bir kent olarak tur paketi satışta yok. Antalya’ya gelmek isteyen birisi eğer deniz, kum, güneş turizmi yapmak değil de şehri keşfetmek istiyorsa, şehrin kültürel odaklı noktalarını, doğasını, coğrafyasını keşfetmek istiyorsa önce bir uçak bileti bulması lazım. Sonra dönüp ona uygun bir konaklama ayarlaması lazım. Sonra dönüp transfer ayarlaması lazım. Rehber bulması lazım. Yani bugünün turizminde çok zor bir şey. Hazır ürünlerinizin rafta olması gerekiyor.”

Antalya’nın kitle turizminde dünyanın sayılı markaları arsında yer aldığını dile getiren Başkan Uysal, bunun gelişerek devam etmesi gerektiğini söyledi. Ancak kitle turizminin artık kendisinin şikayet konusu haline dönüştüğünün de altını çizen Uysal, “Turizmi çeşitlendirme ihtiyacı var. 12 aya yayma ihtiyacı var. Elinizdeki bütün olanakları kullanmanız lazım. İşte bunun için de biz biraz kendimizce öncülük etmeye gayret ettik. Önümüzdeki haftadan itibaren Avrupa’da kitle turizmi satışları gibi onları da raflara koymaya başlıyoruz. Çalışmalarımızı o noktaya getirdik” diye konuştu.

Başkan Uysal, Şehri Keşfet tur paketlerinde bu güvenlik hissinin turistlere belediyece kazandırılacağını aktardı. Aynı zamanda Antalya’nın tescilli lezzetlerinin yer aldığı belediyenin Antalya Lokantası’nda gastronomik sunumlar gerçekleştirdiklerini belirten Başkan Uysal, kentte bu tarz lokantaların artması gerektiğinin de altını çizdi.

Muratpaşa Belediyesi, 25 Ekim’de sona erecek fuarda ayrıca hazırlanan stantta katılımcılara ‘Şehri Keşfet’ tur paketini tanıttı.
