THE KING'S PHYSICIAN: CAST

SIBIR TEMYURINKAI | The Wolf (Gender selectable. She/her, he/him, they/them)

Age: Mid 30s Ethnicity: Ruz Height: 5'7/173cm

Mercenary, captain, commander, and your best friend of many years. Sibir found you at your lowest and helped you realize you were more than just a child of unfortunate circumstance. The two of you have been thick as thieves for more than a decade -- and yet sometimes you think you catch yourself wanting more. They're difficult to read. Only a handful of people (yourself included, most of the time) can pick up on their microexpressions and the nuances in their tone. Introverted, sarcastic, easy-going.

Flavor of romance: Friends to lovers, unresolved sexual tension, love epiphany, shippers on deck.

LISANDRO ABARCAS | The Lion (He/him)

Age: Late 20s Ethnicity: Alandrian (Rionante) Height: 5'11/180 cm

The young king-uncrowned of Alandria, Lisandro has spent the past six years putting down petty revolts and consolidating power after his father's death. Still technically in his regency, Lisandro has yet to be baptized and officially crowned -- despite being the king in all but name. He hires Sibir's mercenary company after a chance encounter to provide extra security for his upcoming baptism. After a mysterious illness threatens to end Lisandro's prosperous reign before it begins, you might be the only one able to help him. Charming, tender-hearted and just, though not exactly honest. Lisandro requires the use of a cane due to an accident in childhood.

Flavor of romance: Courtly love, Uptown Girl, savior complexes.

IDALI ABARCAS | The Spider (She/her)

Age: Mid 30s Ethnicity: Alandrian (Rionante) Height: 5'9/179cm

Duchess of Baqueria, second in line to the throne, Lisandro's sister -- and biggest obstacle. Idali returns to the capital city of Elvira to attend her brother's baptism, and is Suspect No. 1 when Lisandro falls ill. Her extensive spy network, resources, and open, vicious hatred of her brother makes her the obvious choice, but like everyone in Alandria, Idali has secrets. Some she might be willing to share. Cunning, calculating, and capricious.

Flavor of romance: Uptown Girl, Defrosting the Ice Queen, #girlbossmode, dancing with danger.

TESIAS | The Serpent (Gender selectable. She/her, he/him, they/them)

Age: Mid 30s? Ethnicity: Mani? Height: 6'0/182 cm

A mysterious masked traveler who offers you information -- for a price. A consummate professional spy, it's hard to tell who they're working for. Idali? Lisandro? Themself? Someone else? They say they're Mani, a nomadic ethnic group often harassed in Alandria. They also say they're shudnah -- outcast by their Clan for some kind of crime. One thing you know for sure: Tesias is out for revenge. And they will get it. But against whom?

Flavor of romance: [INFORMATION CORRUPTED]

I'm stealing this ask from another blog I saw, asking for Greenwarden and any other of your IFs you wanna do. Which of the ROs would want to take the MC's last name if they were married? Would any want the MC to take their last name?

Oooo, fun question!

Would take your last name:

Bautista, Trace (has no last name), Lisandro (probably couldn't because of The Feudalism)

Would hyphenate:

Bautista (again), Nazeri, Devin, Mattie

Would keep their last name but you don't have to take theirs:

Bautista (x3), Devin, Lisandro, Idali, Lane, Mattie

Would love it if you took their last name:

Devin, Nazeri, Idali, Tesias, Lane, Mattie

Where is Sibir falling on the autism scale?

I mean, I tend to think of it more like a sundae bar, rather than a sliding scale.

They don't do empathy or textures well, and too many sounds overstimulate them (going back to the textures thing, tbh -- too many sounds makes a bad soundscape texture and their brain DDoS's itself). They tend to speak in a low monotone. They like to chew on things. Their expressions are either microexpressions or wildly exaggerated.

They're great at sarcasm and the main snarkmaster of the TKP cast (second best is Idali), subtlety doesn't fly over their head (but they're not good at it themself) and their special interest is sharks.
