#quickley family

[nerianasims]

This is where I started kludging an actual rotation order together by playing both fall and winter in the Quickley household. There's still gonna be a little bit of Jeremy Bearimy time shenanigans, but I played the Quickley family for both fall and winter.

"Hi Beau, do you and Garth wanna come over? Yes, your mom and Dustin can come too, that'd be great!"

"And then when they thought the girl Simon had a crush on was the prisoner but ACTUALLY she was the owlbear and then she was a horse and then --"

"Um, yeah, that was cool."

"And then she was an owlbear later too and it was really important! Oh but before that she was a fly and a cat and an ostrich thing and before that --"

Benjamin figures with a daughter like Natali, surprise guests are going to be the norm. Julia Child recipes to the rescue!

Poor Beau is the only person with any table manners here.

He's also the best at blocks. He's a bit older than both the others, but is patient with them.

[kingdomofwildwood]

Side note, because there isn't really anywhere good to put this - I added a new family at this point in the rotation. These are the Quickleys; they're woodcutters. I was so tired of having to have everyone else in town manually chop their own wood that I added them so that people could just buy it from the catalogue.

...I would later come to regret this. Why? Well.... you'll see.

Arlecchino and Amantes Family Origins: Generation 1 Ancestry Results

Petruchio Amantes was a descendant of Equiatorial Guinea and the Western Sahara, which was taken over by the Spanish in the early 20th century. He was an active Politician in early Veronaville, and helped make what was Eastern Veronaville become what it was, with assisting Valentine and Vicentino in many business and political proceedings.

Katherina Amantes was born in South Africa, which had a large Greek presence at the turn of the 20th century. She migrated to Veronaville where she met and married Petruchio. As she came from a rich family, she expected to continue her life of high Fortune in Veronaville, which she did everything to maintain, as she got in the Business sector.

Stephano Arlecchino was born in Libya during the early 1900s, where his family was a result of Italian colonialism in Libya at the time. He lived his life for Power, hence taking part in both Politics and Business throughout his life, and positioning the Arlecchinos to be one of the key families in Veronaville.

Quickley was born in Libya like her husband, but was a result of an Italian man consummating with a Libyan woman. She was a simple woman who just wanted a husband, children, and to focus mainly on her family over anything else.

I was stressing myself out about getting to the dream concert on 9/9 after work and then had my calendar remind me its fucking Chuseok!!! KSKDKD I DON’T HAVE WORK

[humblegoatart]

daily sketch 5/5/24 + 5/6/24

thinking about the Quickley family crest. here’s some wips

[emmashouldbewriting]

yeah, he moved very quickly to differentiate working/non-working royals, even at the coronation he made that divide abundantly.

Well, except Sir Tim; who is always present. That might be because he is the princess royal's spouse or because he is usually well behaved. I mean in all the years he has been married into the family. He had no scandale, even when the press tried to create one when he joined Symonds Capita as consultant after his retirement it was quickley made clear that it is a common occupation for reitred navy officers and Tim left soon after.

That's the And Tim, Of Course clause

Lazarus Quickley on alphamalesunite.com

Girl at church (14f), conservative family. She's pretty. Brown hair, twig, frumpy clothing, nice face. Great tradwife potential in her, pure and innocent - no feminist bullshit in sight. Perfect helpmeet for when I lead a congregation of my own. Her mother's fucking annoying though so I haven't said anything. I'll try and see if I can catch her beta dad at church - pray for any loser who follows around their wife that fucking much

KY v TN….

Okay, well. Joke. B/c I’ve had it with KY Football & Basketball hype—letdown seesaw. A Joke b/c 2 of UK’s more recent nemeses, UNC and TN, played out of their minds tonight. We beat UNC this yr but when they showed Luke Maye I was over it. Congratulations.

I’ll Go w/ the more Family Friendly & PG joke that doesn’t involve people volunteering hopefully legally:

“Baby, R u from Tennessee? ‘Cuz you’re the only Ten I see!”

Good for them b/c they got somethin’ KY doesn’t at least in the form of a punny joke.

It’s just I can’t get on board w/ the gaudy orange (Sandra Bullock to Mike Oher in The Blind Side). Y’all can have the Purina Dog Food checkered uni’s we finally retired and IU keep your candy cane striped pants too.

Ya know what’s funny? I can fuss all Night but next Day I’m on the Fanatics App looking for more Team Gear. Ha.

I do Love this Team more than I have liked a Team in a while. They gel. They have so much fun. They Love it. They just need some spark slash help. As a whole the last teams/players I Love…probably the Monk / Fox / and Bam Team …then the twin Harrison’s before that w/their unlikely heroics Post season courtesy of Aaron Harrison x3 tray’s. Shai, Ulis, Quickley, Maxey, PJ, Ashton, Herro’s Team and TyTy I adored as well.

GVGP Profile: Hero Monty

Having just gone over the final Capp in-law, we're moving on to the final Monty in-law. It's time for us to cover the only sim in this batch who lacks character data -- Hero Monty.

Hero’s family tree shows that her ancestors were part of the “new blood” brigade. This means that, despite being counted among the fourth generation gang, she’s technically a third generation sim within her birth family. In terms of ancestry, Hero is the daughter of Trinculo and Maria Arlecchino, as well as the granddaughter of Stephano and Quickley Arlecchino, and Petruchio and Katharina Amantes.

Hero Monty's Genetic Profile

Hero Monty's Visual Profile

Before her untimely death, Hero was married to Antonio Monty, and they had two children. As such, Hero will be present in her offsprings' genetic profiles, and will be given a mention whenever necessary.

Skintone

As the daughter of an S2 father and an S3 mother, Hero’s S3 skintone makes perfect sense.

Hair Color

As the daughter of a black-haired father and a brunette mother, Hero’s black hair makes perfect sense. Given that her maternal grandfather also had black hair, there’s a strong possibility that Hero may have been homozygous for the trait.

Eye Color

Hero has two brown-eyed parents. As such, her brown eyes make perfect sense.

As a Whole

Hero Monty's filled out genetic profile. According to this table, Hero's skintone, hair color, and eye color all make sense when taking her genetic history into account.

Who's Next?

With all the ABC Montys, in-laws, and deceased sims out of the way, the only sims left to cover are the living Lear Capps. Next time, we're going to cover the final knowledge sim in this batch -- Kent Capp.

Thanks for reading!~ <3

Tears in Celebration

As a quick note, I was never good at writing and reading Chinese, so a lot of this was written with pinying and a prayer lol. If you need translations... lmk but it’s not a big part to the story. Happy Chinese New Years to anyone who celebrates :))

~800 words, Angst with no happy ending. Sage celebrating CNY :))

No matter how old she was, how stressed she was, or how tired she was, Sage always felt the little bit of excitement when she started seeing those red decorations get hung up on the doors, the windows of shops, and show up everywhere you could ever think to look. There was just a palpable sense of excitement that seemed to spark and fly in the cool winter air ahead of the celebrations. People all across the country were travelling back and forth. The trains were full, tickets sold out. Airports were at their busiest with international citizens coming home for the holiday. This was a time for family, for togetherness, and for celebration.

In her family home, as they neared the day of, she would go out and shop with her parents, and her siblings. 汤圆, 饺子, 橘子, 鱼, 春卷, 年糕. Even as she was squished in the overcrowded supermarket, she couldn’t help but to feel just a little impatient at imagining the array of food that would be in front of her in just a couple days.

Even her home was more crowded than normal. With everyone gathering at her home for the celebrations, the moment she walked in through the door with her grocery bags.

“你终于回来了! 超市忙吗?” her aunt called out from the kitchen where she had already started preparing some of the ingredients for the marathon of cooking tomorrow. Sage quickly put her bags by the entrance of the kitchen and quickley stepped past the many shoes by the front door and walked up to hug her. “你先去把拖鞋穿上在来帮忙.”

She did as told and quickly backtracked to find her slippers before reentering the cramped kitchen to see what her aunt was working on.

“我妈在哪里?”

Her aunt pointed over at where her mother was serving tea to her grandparents. There, in her 爷爷’s hand were multiple, familiar, red pockets.

“安安已经去她的房间了. 你一会儿叫她出来把.”

She nodded her head and refocused on her task. The most important thing was to make sure that the 汤圆 stayed frozen in the freezer. Then she could focus on helping prepare the marinades for some of the meats the next day.

Despite how busy she kept herself, despite how rowdy it got when she generally preferred the peace and quiet, she loved this time of the year. Nothing filled her soul with more laughter than when she giggled at her younger cousins who had yet to master the ability to pleat the dumplings and now had the filling spilling onto their hands as they desperately tried to fix their mistakes. Nothing brought her more joy than looking at the smiles of her grandparents as they watched their children and grandchildren run around the small apartment in an effort to dress into their formal clothes for the red pocket ceremonies.

“万事如意”

“身体健康”

“出入平安”

Nothing filled her soul like the dining table, normally too large for her, filled to the brim with food and every side of it occupied with someone.

Nothing broke her heart like the sounds of explosions in the distance.

Sage sat up, gasping for air. She was… not home, no. It was the lounge. Right, she thought she was just going to fill her thermos with water— oh no… She scrambled to her feet to get to the stove before she caused an accident like what the younger agents were often accused of. Instead, she found Brimstone filling her thermos and helping her steep her tea.

“You looked like you needed the rest,” he explained once he screwed the lid back on and handed it to her. “I know this time of year is…”

“Thank you,” she nodded her head, reaching out for the thermos.

“Enjoy your time off. You’ve earned it,” Brimstone smiled at her before walking out of the lounge.

Enjoy was a weird thing to say. It somewhat plagued her mind until the moment she knelt in front of the stones.

Four gravestones, two too small for what they meant. The smell of incense filled her air, her lungs, her tears as she remembered the wreckage. No amount of time would make her forget any of…any of that. She wasn’t as powerful, as strong as she was now. But her role as a protector, a bastion, was found too late to help the people she missed most.

“新年快乐,” she whispered into the empty air. Maybe things would be fixed by next year.

"I did not expect this drama." Not that it's negatively impacted anything.

Nina: "I'm not surprised. The Goths are drama central. Don't worry about it; this cake is delicious, and that's what matters."

Brandi and Darren took themselves off to the dining room to canoodle.

Cassandra sulked in the hot tub.

And various Romance Sims had romance without drama.

A picture perfect family || Z.H.

Warnings: maybe some cursing?

Summary: inspired by the trust fund baby music video

You were walking trough the hallway in school with your books in your hands and your camera in your backpack. Out of nowhere a sudden weight pushed you to the ground.

Your books and backpack fall around you. "No, No, no, No, no!" You sigh. You get up to your knees and open your backpack quickly. You release a sigh of relief when you see that your camera is stil intact.

"Oh my God, i'm so sorry!" A sudden voice exclaims. You look up to meet a pair of brown eyes. The eyes turn out to belong to a cute boy.

You just look at each other for a brief second before he gets pulled away by one of his friends. He the turns his head and looks at you. You smile at him and he returns it with a cute smile himself.

That was Zach Herron. You know him. You know every one. It's not like youpopular, not at all actually. You're the most important photographer for the yearbook. You are, in fact, the only photographer.

But you don't mind.

You still need to do some editing so youdecided to go the bleachers of the baseball field in my free period. You look at the field and see Jonah Marais training with Arya. You recognize him. He's the one who pulled Zach away from you this morning.

You edited the whole day and even skipped classes without even knowing it. You decided to go to the skate park with your friends. It's something you do a lot. You took the bus and met up with your friend Jamie.

She hasn't noriced you yet so you just sit on one of the ramps and take some pictures. Jamie was talking to a guy but now he left so she comes over to you.

"Sooo...who's the cute guy?" You smirk while wiggling my eyebrows. She rolls her eyes and laughs "So, his name is Jack"

"Jack Avery?" You ask her. Like you said. You know every one. "I don't know, girl, I just met him!" She laughs.

You see your friend Rose walking over to you. She climbs up the ramp and sit next to you "Hey, (y/n), how did you get here so fast, school ended like 20 minutes ago and I walked?" "The bus?" "Wait really, I tought he didn't drive today?" "He did"

"Sooo," Jamie says,"tell us about the cute guy" she blushes and says "well, I was waiting for you, but you didn't come and his car had a flat tire, and I helped him and his friend to replace the tire"

"oehh, what did he look like" you ask  "Well, he was cute, he had brown hair, and gorgeous blue eyes, and, he's sitting right there?" She says, but it sounds more like a question.

"WHERE?" You and Jamie yell in unison.

"There" she whispers  and subtly points to a group of boys "He really is cute" Jamie says surprised "why so surprised?" She asks "Rose, sweetie, no offence, but your taste sucks"

"Obvioisly," she laughs, "because you're, looking at the wrong guy" "then who are you talking about?" Jamie asks while laughing "I'm talking about the guy with the hamburger" "ow, then I'm also looking at the wrong guy" you laugh.

Just then you realise that Zach is part of the group of guys. He sees you looking at him and smiles so you smile back.

"Adios muchachos" Jamie laughs as she takes her skateboard and starts doing some tricks.

"What's up with her?" Rose asks "I've never seen her skate so good" "there's a cute guy she wants to impress" you smirks

"Ahh" she smirks as well

After half an hour of talking to rose about useless stuf you decide to leave so you can develop some of my pictures. You wave goodbye to Jamie and jump of the ramp.

Your house isn't that far so you just start walking. "HEY!"  hear someone yell behind you. You turn around and almost bump into someone. It's Zach again.

"Oh, i'm sorry!" You both laugh. "It's just, I wanted to apologise again for this morning." "It's okay, really" you smile. "Good...I'm Zach" he smiles. I know. "(Y/n)"

We both just awkwardly stand there for a moment. "Where are you going?" He asks touching the back of his neck.

"I, uhh, i want to develope some pictures at home" "great, can i come?" "Uhh, yeah, sure"

After a short walk we arive at your house. You open the door with my spare key. You take Zach's hand and quickley pull him upstears. Halfway the stairs you hear your mom yell. "[Yn]!! Come here and help your sister with her homework!"

"I can't help Aubrey mom," i sigh in defeat, "i have a guest

"Really? Come here and introduce her then!" Your mom says exited. "It's a him" you sigh. You shuffle down the stairs and enter the kitchen still holding Zach's hand.

"Hi! I'm Emily and that's Aubrey, it's so nice to meet you!" Your mom says. Zach lets go of my hand and shakes my mothers hand. "It's really nice to meet you too, i'm Zach"

"Zaaaachhh?" Your 7 year old sister says in a cute toddler tone. "Yesss" Zach answers in the same cute tone. "Are you my sisters boyfriieeend?" "Nooo" he says blushing.

"We should go, the pictures  won't develop themselves." You nervously chuckle. You pull Zach upstairs and close the door to your room.

"I'm so sorry about my family, i-" "it's okay," Zach smiles,"they seem nice"

Just now Zach looks around in your bedroom, it's small, like, really small. Your bed is set against the right wall. In the middle of your room there is a table where i usually develop your pictures. The room is always dark. You've came to the realisation that it's easier if you just leave it dark in stead of always cleaning your stuff up.

"Okay, so, first we need to mix the chemicals" you give Zach the measurements so he can do it.

While Zach is doing that, you make sure that the enlarger's ready. Zach is done with the chemicals and he stands next to you.

Zach touches the enlarger in all possible places trying to figureout what button does what. You lay your hand on zach's and twist the button he's touching.

You take out the paper from the enlarger and put it in the developer. "Now we have to wait a minute then take out the paper with this giant tweezers thingie and put it in the next tray" you say as you hand Zach the tweezers.

"Soo, um, are you- are you going to prom?" Zach asks. While putting the paper in the next tray "Yeah, but i don't have a date. I mean, i need to take the prom pictures and stuff so i don't really have time to dance and that wouldn't be fun for whoever would be my date" you say to answer his question, "but are you planing on asking someone?"

You could kinda hear the dissapointment in his voice when he says: "Nahh, here isn't really anyone i would want to go with sooo" he puts the paper in the last tray.

"[YN]!!!! Could you maybe help me for a second ?" You hear your mom yell from downstairs. "Okay!" You yell back.

"Could you, maybe, hang these pictures on the rope while I'm gone please?" You ask zach. "Yeah, sure, no problem!" He answers while he's already hanging up a picture. "Thanks Zach" you say and give him a kiss on his cheek.

You walk away quickly, maybe because you're  scared of his reaction. But zach just stands there and blushes even harder then he usually does.

You run down the stairs and jump of the last step. "What did you need my help with mom?" You ask when you walk into the kitchen. You stand next to her and smell the delicious food she's making.

"Oh, could you help Aubrey with her hair please, you know i'm not good at that stuff and she has ballet practice in an hour and-"

"It's okay mom, i will do it, by the way, the food smells amazing!" I assure her.

"[YN]?" You hear Zach say. You turn around to see him  come around the wall. "Hey, i'm done with the pictures..." his voice trails off near the end of the sentence.

 "Oh, hy zach! Do you wanna help me colour my drawing?" Aubrey asks whilst i'm combing her hair.

He looks at you with a surprised look on his face. You smile at him when he says:" Um, yeah, sure" he pulls out a seat next to Aubrey. "You can colour the princess' dress if you want"

While you make a bun in Aubrey's hair you watch her and Zach goof around. It makes you smile just to see how much they like each other.

And every once in a while zach steals a glance at you just to find you smiling at him.

"Zach, honey, why don't you stay for dinner?" My mom asks him. "If you don't mind?" Zach asks both you and your mom. "Of course not!"

¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤

"Thank you zach" i say while i jump of the ramp me and zach were sitting on. After you all ate dinner you and Zach offered to bring Aubrey to her ballet practice. It had become dark by now and you two were just talking about stuff.

"It was nothing" Zach brushed it off. "No, really Zach, you probably noticed that life is hard in ou house. My mom, being a single mom, depends on me a lot to help Aubrey and her. You made her evening a little bit easier by playing with Aubrey. 'Cause belief me, Aubrey can be be very annoying"

"Hey, i had fun too, and i would loveto help more often if it makes it easier for you ans your mom," Zach says while jumping off the ramp as well.

"Well, i should probably go now, I need to pick up Aubrey from practice as well" i say.

"Hey, um, [YN], can i maybe get your number?" He asks while looking at the ground. "Uh, yeah, sure" you answer.

You swap numbers and take pics to set with the contact names.

You both stand in front of each other. The passing of cars is the only thing you can here in the awkward silence. Neither of you want to go but you both know you should.

"I guess i should..."

"Yeah, i should too..."

"Bye Zach..."

"Bye [YN]

New OC! 😆

Meet Umomi Hane! The newest adition to my OC family.

She's an energetic sweetheart hailing from U.A. High School, though I haven't decided what class yet.

She's also a bit of an airhead who loves sweets, birdwatching and hanging out with her friends at the arcade.

Her quirk is Feather Manipulation.

It allows to pull feathers from her wings and manipulate them at will. She can use them for offensive and defensive purposes as well as for dramatic effect. Her feathers grow back extremely quickley, allowing her to use her quirk for extended periods of time without worry.

Umomi belongs to me

[invaderdoom78]

The day had started out well enough with Barty going out and running a few errands around the village, but barely an hour into his commute, he was ambushed by three wizards he recognized as low ranking Death Eaters. Apparently they thought that since he’d chosen to go into hiding instead of joining his fellow Death Eaters in Azkaban or their Dark Lord in death, he was a traitor and a coward, so they were fully intent on killing him and making sure he suffered greatly as they did so. That’s how he found himself running through the forest that surrounded the Muggle village he’d settled into after Voldemort’s downfall. He didn’t have a wand on him and hadn’t had one since he’d impersonates Mad-Eye Moody, so he couldn’t use that to defend himself with, he did have some potions and charms he could use but those were back at his cottage and he was nowhere near there. Thankfully, the trees of the forest were densely placed so they couldn’t use their brooms to chase him and as he and Lucian would often take strolls through the backwoods he was relatively familiar with its layout and was positive that he could lose them. Unfortunately, Barty wasn’t paying as much attention to the forest floor as he should have been and his foot got caught in the roots of a tree that was poking it’s way out of the dirt and fell to the ground, hard, crying out in pain as it radiated through his ankle. Rolling onto his back Barty looked up and saw that the three Death Eaters had caught up to him, their wands aimed directly at him. Closing his eyes and raising his hands to shield his face, Barty waited for the first stings of magic to burn through him but it didn’t come. Instead his ears picked up on the sound of something large coming towards them, quickley. He thought about opening his eyes, but once the creature came upon them it began tearing into the other Death Eaters. Now the screams he could deal with, but the wet squelching of what he assumed was their bodies being ripped apart and tossed aside he couldn’t. He finally managed to open them once everything went quiet and saw a large Lycan standing before him, looking very worried; whimpering softly as it gently nuzzled its muzzle against his cheek before shifting back into human form.

“Are you alright?” Lucian asked, gently cupping his wizard's face with both of his hands

“I think I twisted my ankle” Barty said, hissing when he barely moved his injured limb

“Is it at all possible for you to walk back to the village?” Lucian asked, rubbing his thumb against the others cheek

“I don’t know” Barty said, licking his lip

“Alright” Lucian mussed to himself

Letting out a startled squeak Barty wrapped his arms around Lucians neck as the Lycan scooped him up so effortlessly, like he weighed absolutely nothing at all, a light blush dusting his cheeks in slight embarrassment as he was carried, bridal style, back to the village. On the way back Barty explained everything that had happened, not missing the hidden anger that was lingering in the back of Lucians eyes. Thankfully, his cottage sat along the outskirts of the village so the likelihood of being spotted was low so when they finally got to the building they wouldn’t need to explain why there was blood that was on the Lycans clothes or the anger on his face. Even with both of his hands behind full Lucian managed to get the back door open as Barty didn’t really bother locking it as up until today he thought that no one from the wizarding world was out looking for him and none of the Muggles from the village ever came for a visit. The building itself was small and nothing special a single bed and bath, that was attached to said bedroom, and was nicely furnished with slightly worn down furniture. Walking through the kitchen Lucian sat Barty down on the couch before going to move the ottoman so the wizard could rest his injured foot on it, propping it up with a few of the old throw pillows that decorated the couch. Carefully he undid the knots of Bartys boot and slipped it off of his foot along with his sock. The ankle had swollen up a bit, but it wasn’t anything too terrible. Giving Barty a quick kiss on the forehead Lucian wnet off in search of something he could use to wrap the ankle with, some form of painkillers, and ice. Since the kitchen and living room were sharing the same space Barty watched as Lucian went about his home looking for everything he needed. Thinking back Barty could only remember his family's house elf Winky caring for him when he was unwell so it was a bit of a surreal experience knowing that another person was willing to take the time to care for him. Setting a kettle of tea on the stove Lucian gathered up the medical stuff he’d gathered together before walking back over to Barty. Kneeling in front of him the Lycan carefully lifted up his wizards injured ankle; gently wrapping it to help keep everything in place before placing the wash cloth full of ice overtop his injured ankle to help keep the swelling down.

“How does that feel?” Lucian asked

“Cold” Barty said, licking his lip

“Does it still hurt?”

“Not as much” Barty said, as the tea kettle hissed

Standing up Lucian hurried back to the kitchen to pull the kettle off the stove grabbing a mug from the cabinets, pouring some of the tea into it. However, before he went back to the couch the Lycan ran back to the bedroom to grab the quilt Barty kept at the foot of his bed, wrapping it around the wizard’s shoulder before handing him the cup of tea he’d just made. Since Barty didn’t have any friends in the village, and the few he did have were Death Eaters, he spent almost all of his time at home so he’s gotten familiar with Muggle technologies and pastimes and had found a few shows he enjoyed. So grabbing the remote control the wizard flipped through the channels of his T.V. looking for something to watch. Taking a seat on the couch, Lucian wrapped an arm around his wizard as Barty leaned against, him resting his head on his shoulder and the Lycan placed a kiss on his temple

Ask and ye shall fucking receive, bitches!!!

Oh yeah, that’s right, the cast lists have been posted!  Moreover, posted IN FULL!  Actors, character names, character professions, and chARACTER DESCRIPTIONS HOLY SHIT!!!!1!!

Once again, I have done my best to sort the Bacchanalians by track.  It was much more challenging than last year (and took a good deal longer), where I only mixed up two.  The music track is easy, of course, but combat and improv are another matter.  In the end, I simply could not decide for a fair number, and these are listed in a separate section.

A small note, I had to copyedit the FUCK out of these descriptions.  Man, I dunno, I think their apostrophe key was maybe busted? and there were loads of misspellings, a few missing spaces, and occasionally just the wrong word entirely.  If anyone with any sort of influence on the Faire’s website happens to see this, PLEASE go back and fix these errors.

As always, check the Faire’s website for headshots.  And also for the scenario, I guess, because I just realized I never got around to making a post about that.

Though she is youthful in appearance, she should not be underestimated. Queen Elizabeth I is intelligent, quick-witted and does not suffer fools lightly.

Wealthy and benevolent, this Englishman seeks to ensure everything is perfect for the Queen’s coronation day. Though he is a strong, independently wealthy, and capable man, he is not afraid to listen to and heed a woman’s opinion, which quickly makes him one of Queen Elizabeth I most trusted advisors and friends.  [Listen I am so glad this man is returning, he is such a joy to watch act.]  [Zis is pleasink to me!]

Alex Stompoly :  Henry Carry – Nobleman

Cousin to Elizabeth I, Henry Carey has a claim to the English throne and is not likely to let you forget it. While he ultimately wants what is best for the country, he doesn't always have the hearts of the ordinary citizens he represents at the forefront of his political strategy. It may take him a while to believe that such a young Queen can be a strong leader.  [OH FUCK YEAH ALEX IS THE VILLAIN THIS IS EVERYTHING I’VE EVER WANTED]

Combat

Sunny Vinsavich :  Bev Tanningrove – Tanningrove Family Muscle

When carousing with friends, she is playful and carefree; but this cousin to Jack Tanningrove is quick to anger if she suspects you of disrespecting the Tanningrove name. Bold and hot-blooded, it doesn't take much to convince her to enter into a brawl to defend her house.

Emily Wirthwein :  Sylvia Forel – Sword Mistress

As lethal as she is lovely, this German Master Swordswoman is renowned throughout Europe. If you are lucky enough to have her in your employ, you can expect her complete loyalty and services as a sellsword – as long as you aren't outbid by a wealthier party.  [Oh good, the German mercenaries are back.]

Mel Angelo :  Mary McBride – Dance Mistress of the Shire

Best friend to Rose Hopfield, this dancing mistress makes a loyal, dependable, and energetic companion. Shire folk beware: don't call her a coward or insult the Hopfields, else you might find yourself face to face with the pointy end of her sword.

Ilana Lo :  Fan Liu – Pirate

Running away from home at the age of thirteen, Fan Liu spent her formative years as a member of pirate crews in many different countries. Because of these varied experiences and her own innate charm, Fan Liu is a brilliant negotiator, easily able to talk people into doing just about anything she asks. And if they make the mistake of not doing as she asks, they will soon face her steel.

Leigh Loureiro :  Bonnie Buchanna – Pirate

A formidable opponent who can fight, curse, and drink just as well if not better than her male counterparts. Nicknamed ‘Bloody Bonnie’ for her reputation of leaving no survivors, many would be surprised to learn that she secretly has a soft spot for soft and cuddly critters. But,please, don't tell her we told you!

Amanda Darrigo :  Mistress Quickley – Tavern Keeper

Thrilled at finally fulfilling her dream of opening her own tavern, this little lady isn’t shy about inviting people in or delegating responsibilities to her subordinates. In fact, she loves being a boss so much she might try to hire you to manage the day-to-day operations so she can focus on big-picture items: like how to spend her hard earned ducats.

Sean Besecker :  Captain James Thatch – Captain of The Queen's Vengeance

Thatch grew up on pirate ships watching and learning from the best sea-robbers in the business, so it is no surprise that he is one of the most ruthless and cutthroat pirates to sail the seven seas. While polite society would consider him uncivilized, he does live his life adhering closely to a very important set of rules: the Piratical Code.  [pyrate ship count: 1]

Matthew Glen Clark :  Bartholomew Wainwright – Yeoman

Dark and brooding, the mysterious Bartholomew Wainwright is often mistaken as cynical when a better term for him would be logical. He makes decisions using his brain and not his heard – the same cannot be said for some of his fellow Yeoman.

Austin James :  Edward Mawson – First Mate

With knowledge of the civilized world, Edward Mawson, sometimes referred to as Maw, is the perfect First Mate to his unruly Captain. He is easily able to represent the Captain at important affairs and likes to mingle with the upper crust of society. In fact, he likes it so much that he dreams of bettering his own position so that he might one day join them.

Music

The Sirens

Sarah Bartley :  Captain Sheena Daley O'Connell – Captain of The Unyeilding Tempest

The Leader. She is bold, brave, fearless and knows the world of piracy like the back of her well-worn hands. Sheena actively attempts to keep the peace in ORC but enjoys looting and pillaging as much as her fellow captains. Her deeds are heroic, but often tall in nature! Ask her to tell you all about when she saved her entire crew with a single plank of wood. She will regale you.  [pyrate ship count: 2]

Leigh Anne Hamlin :  Captain Scarlett Seymour – Captain of The Shadow of Prophecy

The Joker. She is laid back, extremely confident but relentlessly lazy. Scarlett always cracks jokes and makes light of difficult situations. She has been a pirate all her life and she is damn good at it! She is fond of long naps, drinking and gambling. Whats her secret? Good luck and tons of it!  [Four things.  First, pyrate ship count: 3.  Second, presuming she named he ship herself, I guarantee that this character is queer, because that’s the most Extra ship name ever, and only us queer folk are that overdramatic.  Three, prophesy? seymour? see-more? r u kidding me?  Four: if you go look at her headshot, this actor bears an uncanny resemblance to Vanessa Sterling.]

Megan Jones :  Captain Ruth "The Blade" Gibson – Captain of The Jolly Walrus

The Wild Card. She is tough, blunt, and has a wee bit of a rage problem. Although she loves piracy and has the scars to prove it, she melts at the sight of children and cuddly animals, who have the ability to soften her strong demeanor. Do not dare question her about the name of her ship! Shes sensitive about it.  [Oh hell yeah, Megan Jones is a pyrate! I am very pleased about this.  Also, pyrate ship count: 4.]

Sarah Williams :  Captain Elanor Keetly – Captain of The Malevolence

The newly appointed Captain of The Malevolence. The innocent. She has inherited her newfound position of Captain after all the members of her crew mysteriously perished in a tragic maritime accident. She has a thirst for knowledge and craves to be the very best in her new career! Elanor is extremely enthusiastic, but a bit frightened of the weight of her new position. She has a malicious alter ego named Cookie.  [Well, that certainly took at turn at the last line!  Pyrate ship count: 5, and whomever named this vessel was definitely queer, too.]

The Irish Revels

Autumn Sheffy :  Siobhán O'Sullivan – Royal Music Tutor

Having left the rest of her family behind to seek her fortune, this maestro has ascended to the ranks of the English court! Surely she wouldn't lord this success over the rest of her siblings...

Jordan Bell :  Gilda O'Sullivan – Musician

Gilda is an optimistic and charismatic leader. She hasn't the time for negativity or ill will amongst her siblings, so she simply pushes through it with a bright smile. She is a perfectionist and an overachiever. She adores music and her siblings, despite their failings, and will do anything to make sure the festival day goes off without a hitch. She has the color-coded scrolls to prove it! because what are we, animals?

Morgan Harwood :  Alannah O'Sullivan – Musician

Alannah is kind, carefree, and a bit odd. She is the youngest of the quintuplets and the most connected to the universe. She has the ability to see magic creatures and is often overtaken by her imagination. Her magic touch can calm her siblings when the time arises. The music she performs grounds her back in reality. She doesn’t walk, she floats.  [Whelp, this character obviously has a connection to the fae, so she’s definitely Autistic.]

Jared Haverdink :  Keagan O'Sullivan – Musician

Keagan is a realist, has an excellent sense of humor, and is endlessly sarcastic. He has a bit of the ol’ Irish temper that is easily set off by small things. The most talented musically of the O’Sullivan siblings, he was always very skilled, but has recently improved dramatically, almost overnight. His siblings are suspicious he has made a deal with a sea witch for his newfound shredding skills.  [I’m so glad that last sentence exists.]

Joey Mudd :  Deklyn O'Sullivan – Musician

Deklyn, like his sister Gilda, is a very friendly and charismatic young musician. He is full of life, energy, joy and is extremely earnest. However, he does tend to worry, and his imagination takes hold, extrapolating the smallest misstep that could lead to the doom of his family. Frequently stares into the middle distance, right between the crucial and the trivial, between existential dread and I’ll take the dressing on the side.  [The Millennial™]

The Rakish Rogues

Christopher Burch :  Sterling Armstrong – Highwayman, Leader of Group

The leader of this merry band of misfits. He is bold, ambitious, but a tad arrogant. Sterling fancies himself as a ladies’ man, but when approached by a woman, he can’t always follow through. His leadership style is that of blind intuition. His British dialect is very put-on and manly, but he often slips into Cockney, his real voice, when angered. Sterling doesn't walk, he glides. Is that his real name or did he make it up?  [FUCK YEAH THEY DID THE THING THEY PUT HIM ON THE MUSIC TRACK YESSSSSS!]

Chase Brackett :  Tucker Abbot – Highwayman, Sterling's Protégé

A former homeless orphan who was adopted by Sterling Armstrong as his younger brother and protégé . He absolutely worships the ground his brother walks on. Tucker is very bright, optimistic, and somewhat naïve. He is completely unaware when he says filthy and inappropriate things. Sterling said it so it must be fine! He loves the life of crime, but mostly he just wants to find a beautiful lady and sing songs to her pretty face forever.  [This character description has newsie energy.]

Pete Hedberg :  Jeremiah Slight – Highwayman, Sterling's Right-Hand Man

He is the muscle of the group, but secretly the brains. Jeremiah is the only person keeping this group afloat, but he would rather stick to the shadows than be in the limelight. He is excellent at thievery and a master of disguise. If you get close enough to find out how many accents he can do, you may not live to tell the tale!  [*laughs in a decade of faire accents*]  [also slight is the right hand man? slight of hand? fuck you.]

Ian Agnew :  William "Bill" Crimson – Highwayman, former Benadictine Monk

A former Benedictine monk who was living a pious life in an abbey. He one day was hit in the head with a bible, decided to leave the cloth and turn to a more exciting life of crime. He adores his new lifestyle and lives it with absolutely no restraint or regret. Bill has a newfound love of drinking, women, and gambling. He may have a few loose screws, but he’s never been happier.  [So there’s a good bit to unpack there.  Kind of like a reverse Cadfael.]

Improv

Sheila Barton :  Lady Delores Anne Penburthy – Lady Mayor of Mount Hope

Effervescent and vivacious, the Lady Mayor is sure to give Queen Elizabeth I the warm and generous welcome deserving a ruler of England. Having earned the love of the townspeople, the Lady Mayor could teach the young Queen a thing or two about earning the trust and loyalty of her people.

Adam Shepley :  William Cecil – Advisor to the Queen

Her Majesty’s most stalwart advisor, and head of her privy council. Usually the smartest man in the room, and well aware of it, Cecil knows Elizabeth will be a good queen. Honestly after her sister Mary, things can only go up.

Joe Penn :  Jacob Perry – Sheriff of Mount Hope

He loves putting away bad guys and solving mysteries. The only mystery he cant solve: how to grow up.  [Oh. Hell. Yeah.]

Jonathan Handley :  Sir William Pickering – Nobleman

Well educated, well bred, well connected. William Pickering has studied at the best schools, spent time among the French court, and is a good friend of Queen Elizabeth; but surely he would never let those things go to his head. He is still a man of the people, with his finger on the gilded pulse of the court.

Rob Condas :  William Shakespeare – Apprentice Glover

Everyone needs gloves, and serving all levels of society has made young Bill a keen observer of the human condition. He has heard many stories, and feels that he has many stories to tell. He’d like to try his hand at playwrighting – maybe he can wrangle up some actors to try out a new play or two.  [This is absolutely genius, because if we remain in the same universe for a couple years, we’ll get to see his transition to fully-fledged playwright!]

Adam Kampouris :  Christopher "Kit" Marlowe – Playwright

Full of charm and swagger, this playwright can woo a hundred paramours without running out of pickup lines; finish several thousand tankards of ale without retiring for bed; and accomplish almost any task without exerting too much effort; but he cannot seem to finish a play. He is hoping Mount Hope Shire will provide him the inspiration he needs to pen his next masterpiece.

Kelsey Jefferies :  Gretchen Froman – Heir to the Sausage Throne

Her parents have newly acquired a fortune from their successful Sausage empire, and they like to flaunt it! Fortunately for them, their daughter is responsible enough for both of them and makes sure they don’t blow it all in a single shopping trip. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy some of the perks – just that she is the only one of the three with some class about it.  [For context, see the Blackfryars’ descriptions.]

Noelani Stevenson :  Eskarina Nutter – Wise Woman

This cunning woman knows that there are things in this world that cannot be explained, and their solutions must be equally inexplicable. A mistress of folk medicine, herbal lore, and charms, she will heal you up quick or dispel the evil eye. Just remember that what she can cure, she can just as easily give back if you cross her.  [hell yeah my pagan girl!  Also if you look at her headshot, her design is literally Sabrina but a little paler and with blond hair, which is most amusing to me.]   [but like,,, why is her last name nutter.]

Kira Gaudynski :  Stella Hopfield – Bottler

Wife of John Hopfield. Though her title is Bottler, she does so much more – marketing, distribution, HR, pretty much everything that isn’t the actual brewing of the beer...and girl, is she good at it! She thrives under pressure, and fortunately for her, there is always pressure abounding.

Ryan Perry :  John Hopfield – Brew Master

Patriarch of the Hopfield family. His brews are best. His ales are awesome. His stouts are stellar. His lagers are...really good too. Hes proud of the name he has made for his family, and knows that beer is the true heart of Mount Hope.

Katelyn Shreiner :  Sherry Tanningrove – Mistress of the Cellars

Sister of Horice Tanningrove and his partner in the winery. Her mind is like the aging process of wine: calculating, patient, and meticulous. She has an eye for detail and rarely jumps to conclusions. She knows that trends come and go, but wine will be forever.

Michael Stahler :  Horace Tanningrove – Vinter

Patriarch of the Tanningrove Family. Wine is what put the shire of Mount Hope on the map, and Horace is proud of that family tradition. He knows Queen Elizabeth will have a more refined palate than her late father and sister, and will help bring Mount Hope’s wines back to the top no matter what those uppity Hopfields say.  [yeah okay so there’s definitely a family rivalry here]

Alright, You Stumped Me

Katie Burch :  Theresa Ratchet – Rat Catcher

Sickness has begun blanketing the world. Some people blame it on bad smells, some people believe it to be God’s wrath due to the sinful ways of today’s culture. Theresa, however, believes it to be because of the rats. She can’t prove it, and no one else believes her, but she will do whatever it takes to rid Mount Hope of these verminous infestations and save the populous in the process.  [Heck yeah, my science-based girl, go get it!]

George Hamilton :  Douglas Johnson – Master Thief

He’s been arrested so many times by Sheriff Perry, they know practically everything about each other. One might even suspect they’ve become friends, but Douglas Johnson would never take advantage of his friendship....in any way that would be obvious to Sheriff Jacob.  [I’m always a slut for this sort of dynamic!]

Shannon Holder :  Rose Hopfield – Brew Master's Daughter

Impulsive, independent, and passionate, this young woman is exploring the world on her own and beginning to see things in a new light, not solely from the perspective of her brewmaster father. By the end of the festival day, she may even sip her first glass of wine!

Jesse Kortus :  Jack Tanningrove – Vinter's Son

Idealistic, intelligent, and inquisitive, this young man is coming into his own and beginning to question the things he has grown up with as facts. For example: contrary to his father’s opinion, there seem to be a great deal of people upon the shire who prefer beer to wine. He intends to spend the day finding out just why that is.  [....oh great we’re gonna have friggin’ het star-crossed lovers up in here, aren’t we.]

John Surgener :  Charles Kent – Yeoman

Fiercely loyal to the Queen, Charles Kent is every bit the ideal hero. With a strong moral compass and an idyllic spirit, Kent is fast, powerful, and has quickly leapt to the top of the list of the Queens favorite Yeomen.

Haley Ward :  Amy Cooper – Cooper

Who would have thought a business person could suffer from TOO MUCH demand? With the ongoing conflict between the Tanningroves and the Hopfields, Amy has been profiting, but at the cost of much sleep. Maybe today she’ll finally be able to enjoy a day off.  [*sleep-deprived fistbump*]

My Reasoning

A section I include purely because I don’t like feeling stupid: therefore when I’m wrong, I prefer people to at least see the logic I followed to arrive at my conclusion.

Leads

Robert Dudley and Henry Carry are both mentioned by name in the scenario, so they’re obviously leads, and Queen Elizabeth is sort of, well, Queen Elizabeth.

Combat

Bev Tanningrove – Tanningrove Family Muscle: character description puts her pretty firmly in the combat territory; Sunny Vinsavich’s resume backs this up with necessary training/abilities.

Sylvia Forel – Sword Mistress: character description puts her pretty firmly in the combat territory; Emily Wirthwein’s resume backs this up with necessary training/abilities.

Mary McBride – Dance Mistress of the Shire: character description puts her pretty firmly in the combat territory; Mel Angelo’s resume seems to back this up with necessary training/abilities.

Fan Liu – Pirate: character description indicates combat as a definite possibility; Ilana Lo‘s resume backs this up with SO MUCH necessary training/abilities; character seems to fit better into the pattern of the combat track than the pattern of the improv track.

Bonnie Buchanna – Pirate: character description indicates combat as a definite possibility; Leigh Loureiro‘s resume indicates potential necessary physicality; character seems to fit better into the pattern of the combat track than the pattern of the improv track

Mistress Quickley – Tavern Keeper: can’t freaking find a resume for Amanda Darrigo, but in my PARF experience, tavern-keepers tend to be involved in brawls and melees, thus indicating combat track.

Captain James Thatch – Captain of The Queen's Vengeance: character description indicates combat as a definite option; can’t find a resume for Sean Besecker, but did find a facebook post mentioning his participation in leading a stage-combat workshop alongside Sam Little, thus implying the necessary training/abilities; character seems to fit better into the pattern of the combat track than the pattern of the improv track.

Bartholomew Wainwright – Yeoman: though character description does not necessarily indicate active combat role, one would imagine a yoeman to be involved in combat, and I know past casts have included combat-track yeomen; Matthew Glen Clark‘s resume backs this up with necessary training and physicality.

Edward Mawson – First Mate: character description does not necessarily indicate active combat role, and I was completely unable to find any sort of resume for Austin James, but the character seems to fit into the pattern of the combat track well enough, so it’s my best guess.

Music (hardly challenging, as I mentioned, yet shall display my reasoning anyway)

Captain Sheena Daley O'Connell – Captain of The Unyeilding Tempest: woman pyrate whose character description matches the format of the other Sirens’.

Captain Scarlett Seymour – Captain of The Shadow of Prophecy: woman pyrate whose character description matches the format of the other Sirens’.

Captain Ruth "The Blade" Gibson – Captain of The Jolly Walrus: woman pyrate whose character description matches the format of the other Sirens’, plus we already know Megan Jones is music-track certified, so to speak.

Captain Elanor Keetly – Captain of The Malevolence: woman pyrate whose character description matches the format of the other Sirens’, plus we already know Sarah Williams is both music-track certified and Siren certified.

Siobhán O'Sullivan – Royal Music Tutor: surname matches that of the four Irish characters listed as “musician”.

Gilda O'Sullivan – Musician: surname matches that of the other Irish characters listed as “musician” or similar; Jordan Bell is already both music-track certified and Revel certified.

Alannah O'Sullivan – Musician: surname matches that of the other Irish characters listed as “musician” or similar; Morgan Harwood is already music-track certified.

Keagan O'Sullivan – Musician: surname matches that of the other Irish characters listed as “musician” or similar; Jared Haverdink is already music-track certified.

Deklyn O'Sullivan – Musician: surname matches that of the other Irish characters listed as “musician” or similar.

Sterling Armstrong – Highwayman, Leader of Group: highwayman; we already knew Christoper Burch is music-track capable.

Tucker Abbot – Highwayman, Sterling's Protégé: highwayman; singing is specifically mentioned in description.

Jeremiah Slight – Highwayman, Sterling's Right-Hand Man: highwayman; we already knew Pete Hedberg is very very music-track certified and Rogue certified.

William "Bill" Crimson – Highwayman, former Benadictine Monk: highwayman; we already knew Ian Agnew is both music-track certified and Rogue certified.

Improv

Lady Delores Anne Penburthy – Lady Mayor of Mount Hope: Duh.

William Cecil – Advisor to the Queen: Adam Shepley is historically improv track.

Jacob Perry – Sheriff of Mount Hope: Joe Penn is historically improv track.

Sir William Pickering – Nobleman: Jonathan Handley is historically improv track.

William Shakespeare – Apprentice Glover: character description gives no indication of combat; Rob Condas‘s website extols his improv ability and love of the same.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe – Playwright: if Shakespeare be improv track, it follows that Marlowe is, too; character description gives no indication of combat.

Gretchen Froman – Heir to the Sausage Throne: one parent is a Blackfryar and the other an improv director, so the statistical likelihood lies with improv;  character description gives no indication of combat.

Eskarina Nutter – Wise Woman: character description gives no indication of combat; it makes more sense for a healer-witch-type character to not be combat-focused anyway (though that would make for a really cool character); I could not find any resume for Noelani Stevenson to verify anything one way or another, but I’m relatively confident in my verdict nonetheless.

Stella Hopfield – Bottler: character description gives no indication of combat; Kira Gaudynski’ resume seems to indicate greater improv strength than combat strength.

John Hopfield – Brew Master: character description gives no indication of combat; if the Hopfield matriarch indeed be on improv, it seems to heighten the likelyhood of the Hopfield patriarch being on the same; could not find Ryan Perry’s resume to check training/abilities one way or another.

Sherry Tanningrove – Mistress of the Cellars: character description gives no indication of combat; Katelyn Shreiner‘s resume seems to indicate stronger improv skills than combat skills; following my previous path of reason, if the head Hopfields be on the improv track, likely the head Tanningroves will, too.

Horace Tanningrove – Vinter: character description gives no indication of combat; Michael Stahler‘s resume seems to indicate average stage-combat abilities; once more following my path of reasoning through to the logical conclusion, this other head Tanningrove will likely be on the improv track.

Alright, you stumped me

Theresa Ratchet – Rat Catcher: while Katie Burch has historically been combat-track, the character description gives no indication of combat; moreover, her participation in Theatre in the Mansion indicates to me that she has the necessary abilities for the improv track; neither her website nor twitter reveals anything one way or another; finally, I have a unproven gut instinct that one is more likely to remain on cast more years running if one switches tracks.  Verdict? could go either way.

Douglas Johnson – Master Thief: George Hamilton has been on both the music track and the combat track (though music is here ruled out), and his participation in Theatre in the Mansion indicates to me that he has the necessary abilities for the improv track; thieves of various sorts are often on the combat track, but it seems his main acting partner this year is on improv; I cannot find a website for further information, and his social media reveals nothing.  Verdict? six of one, half-a-dozen of the other.

Rose Hopfield – Brewmaster's Daughter: character description indicates a divergence from her parents’ worldview, so while I have her parents under improv, it would make some degree of sense for her to be on a different track; only some degree, though, and character description does not indicate combat; Shannon Holder‘s resume seems to indicate possibility in either track.  Verdict? honestly probably improv but there is wiggle-room.

Jack Tanningrove – Vinter's Son: character description indicates a divergence from his parents’ worldview, so while I have his parents under improv, it would make some degree of sense for him to be on a different track; only some degree, though, and character description does not indicate combat; I could not find a resume for Jesse Kortus to check training/abilities either way.  Verdict? yeah prolly improv but who knows.

Charles Kent – Yeoman: though character description does not necessarily indicate active combat role, one would imagine a yoeman to be involved in combat, and I know past casts have included combat-track yeomen; however, John Surgener’s resume seems to me to lean more toward improv than combat, though he has some degree of experience in both.  Verdict? heck if I know.

Amy Cooper – Cooper: character description does not indicate combat; Haley Ward’s resume indicates the necessary training/ability for combat; the character description gives me improv-track vibes somehow.  Verdict? yeah at this point your guess is as good as mine.

Phew!  That’s more than long enough for one day, so the Blackfryars shall get their own post on the morrow (maybe this evening if I’m responsible... haha...).

To the newcomers, welcome!  To those returning, welcome back!
