Do you see Jon Bernthal fitting in as a face for any of your open skeletons? 👉🏼👈🏼

Jon could work for Hector, Cassian, and Medraut, I think Hector most of all!

hi! would hayden christensen work for medraut?

That's an interesting choice for Medraut! We can see it working with the right application.

sorry if this is silly to ask, but i was wondering if you guys could explain a little bit more about how chevaliers have to have "patrons" (specifically re: the dynamic between the duval family and medraut)?

Anonymous asked: How does one get recruited into becoming a Chevalier? Do they need to be invited, do they sign up? Ty!

So, first things first, Chevaliers don't have to have patrons, in the sense that is not a requirement in either their training or their service once ordained. However, it is very much a tacit expectation from Empress Calandre, and indeed from most Emperors that came before her. Because the Chevaliers are more than mere warriors of skill, their Knight order is about symbols and spectacle (i.e., tourneys, parades, championing for noble houses or wearing their colors) as much as it was ever about actual manifest power (i.e., catching assassins or marching off to war). In a way, the Chevaliers are the glory of Calandre’s reign, not just the iron fist of it. They are, like anything else under her service, an extension of what the Empress wants to be seen and believed. It’s why championing for noble houses is important not just for a Chevalier’s (or a Chevalier-in-training’s) career, but also for their chances to enjoy court at its highest degree, rather than be shipped off to some border garrison.

It is up to each writer & character how they decide to portray this duality about the Chevalier’s duties, with some loose direction being given in their skeletons. We know Adraste has doubts about it, while others veer between extremes of honor and resentment (hello, Matthieu!) or a more casual, pragmatic detachment. This last bit could be Medraut - they championed for the Duvals because they knew it would help boost their reputation, both financially (patrons are also sponsors) and theoretically, via connections to a noble house.

Anyone can volunteer to be a Chevalier !! However, because the training is so arduous, long-lasting (with years up to decades of being ordained at last) and the “captain” of a recruit regiment has essential power of life and death in dictating over them, very few people who aren’t either extremely talented or backed by a rich and/or noble family can make it through. There are no ranks to speak of: if you survive the Chevalier ordeal, you are as good as any veteran knight. Experience, of course, and accomplishments in both tourneys and battlefield, still matter as much as in any hierarchy.

Do chevaliers reside in the Summer Palace?

Matthieu does! Medraut, Roth, and Adraste might too, but we wouldn't be opposed if they wanted to rent rooms elsewhere, like in the Mane. That's up to the player!

could you see luca marinelli, manny montana, francois arnaud, or thomas doherty working for medraut?

We can absolutely see Luca, Manny and Francois for Medraut !

EDIT 5/27: Due to transphobic behavior, we will not be accepting Manny Montana as an alternate faceclaim. Thank you for understanding!

What do you when you said “Medraut was raised in the order”?

Hello! I think that's a typo on my end. While Medraut grew up with their mother, and their experiences with her and their background had a great impact, I don't think they'd have really gotten the chance to make something of themselves or figure out who they were and what they wanted until they started training as a Chevalier. They grew within the Order, and were proper raised by it, but they weren't born into it, if that makes sense. I hope that clears things up; if not, feel free to send us a DM!

would lewis tan work for medraut?

I could see Lewis working, yes!

[faimrpg]

Jasmine Sanders for Medraut?

With the right interpretation, I think so!

- Julia

[faimrpg]

There's already so many options, but what about Brie Larson or Jessica McNamee for Medraut?

Sorry, we can't see any of these working for Medraut !

luke pasqualino for medraut?

We can totally see Luke working for Medraut !

so roth didn't mentor medraut the same way that medraut is now mentoring adraste?

Hello! Roth still would have mentored Medraut and taught them the ways of being a Chevalier, they'd just be a little closer in age than they were before the skeleton was tweaked. We apologize for any confusion!

- Julia

[faimrpg]

since medraut has been aged up, how about ashley madekwe, jamie chung, tessa thompson, hannah john-kamen, karen fukuhara, diane guerrero (doom patrol resources), daniella pineda, levy tran for them?

Ashley, Jamie, Tessa, Daniella, and Hannah are all great choices for Medraut!

- Julia

[faimrpg]

Wasn't medraut mentored by Roth? That means they'd have to be younger than them, or?

Roth was definitely a guiding presence for Medraut in the Chevalier ways, but it's more of a sibling vibe rather than anything parental. As it is, Medraut can be a year or two younger than Roth or even the same age, but with Roth being the more experienced one because of a number of reasons, such as the fact that they joined the order earlier. The more important element is that Adraste remains younger than both of them, as she is still a Chevalier in training. Hope this answers your question regarding their age difference !

rose leslie, jack o’connell, margaret qualley, aneurin barnard, meng ziyi, keisha castle hughes, ellie bamber or austin butler for medraut?

We imagine Medraut as a bit on the older and jaded (is that a word?) side, rough enough to have already gone through a knight career, to be able to mentor Adraste and other young Chevaliers. Following this, we would love to see an application with Rose Leslie, Jack O'Connell or Keisha Castle Hughes !

can you see any of bensu soral, chicha amatayakul, summer bishil, biran damla yilmaz, aurora perrineau, erin kellyman, ahsen eroğlu, neelam gill for medraut?

We imagine Medraut as a bit on the older and jaded (is that a word?) side, rough enough to have already gone through a knight career, to be able to mentor Adraste and other young Chevaliers. So while these choices are lovely, we cannot quite see them for Medraut !
