[/color][/font][/i][/center] short(ish) history:
Meet Tristan. Well, perhaps not "Tristan" - depending on your social class. Known as Mr. Thomas Grey, son of the esteemed Grey family who recently lost Mr. Grey Sr., father and head of the family. Thomas Grey is unfortunately often seen at social balls with a stifled yawn, with his cousin, Edmund Beaumont, son of Lord Beaumont.
But who he is truly, is Tristan. He does not find comfort in the cold, empty halls of his new home where his family is spinning quickly to destruction, but in the warm, crowded taverns of the illicit crowds. As he grew, he fell in "love" countless of times with countless of women. He's grown reckless with everything. From his emotions to his actions, he throws about in wild abandon.
He has abandoned the name of Thomas, except for that around his family and when he and his cousin cavort around in high society. To everyone else, he has now become "Tristan". Ironically, it is the name his cousin has always called him only due to the fact that Edmund's own younger brother's name was Thomas.
Tristan and Edmund often enjoy dallying, scandalizing and shocking high society, although Edmund is considerably less bold and rash in his actions and choices. However, Tristan prefers the grimy areas of London where he consorts at night with "loose women," common thieves and convicts. While during the day, he continues with his cousin as a shipping apprentice to his Uncle, though he prefers working the docks doing manual labor rather than any managing like his cousin.
calling for:
Honestly anything. Definitely some ladies, haha - I think some working-class girls would be really interesting to see the dynamic between that and Tristan's shared worlds. Or any working buddies, or aristocrat pals? Honestly, I'm up for anything. c:

[/size] i have miss groves here, a fortune teller with the tongue of a snake. she's kind and warm toward her guests, though if they show her an ounce of arrogance and rude manner, her temper is revealed. in other words, she wouldn't hesitate to give mr. grey lip if he every talked down to her. butttt...she does like a good thrill every now and then, and i can possibly see these two bumping into each other, since he likes to run around in her neck of the woods. zigana isn't one to stand on the street corners exactly, but she lives in that general area and tends to pick up costumers to read their fortunes and give them ailements. it's just a suggestion, and i'm open for other ideas![/ul][/size][/font][/center] |

hita & tristanWell, I'm not 100% sure but I feel like Hita and Tristan could have something. I think the fact that they're both somewhat trouble-making could cause them to meet and possibly even befriend one another? Either way, Hita would probably love him not only for being scandalous, but for being high-class and...white. Haha, let me know what you think!

Ooh!! Yes, fortune-telling!! Tristan would sooo want to give that a whirl, thinking its complete bogus but especially if the fortune-teller was as good-looking as Zigana, he'd definitely get his palm read in hopes of more. So maybe on one grimy night, she gives him a fortune that he's not particularly comfortable with, so he shifts from his flirtatious, playful mood to something serious and vexing. He gives her lip, which she yells back, etc. etc. Thenn...hmm, What are your thoughts on how they could meet again?
hita
hahah, i love that! I think Tristan would find particular interest in Hita because of her ethnicity - a reminder of all the exotic places Tristan wants to travel to, especially India. Maybe he could meet her as his working class self (thoughts on how they could meet?), and they have their own little flirtations, etc. But perhaps she works for a household of a friend of his, dun dun dun! haha

[/size] haha i'm glad tristan would be open with fortune telling! i'm sure zigs would be curious as to how her fortune would affect him; she has a tendency to checking up on her customers to see if her words of wisdom have done them any good. so, perhaps they simply run into one another while he's gala banding around her neck of the woods, or perhaps he attends a fiasco that zigana is acting as the fortune-telling entertainment and they get to talking with once again? mehhh...my ideas are lame hahaha[/ul][/size][/font][/center] |

OR
he sees zigana again on another night, doing her fortune-telling, and he could be a bit drunk and gets some grand idea of dancing with her, or i dunno that sounds dumb once i type it, haha. but maybe kissing her, and then getting pissed at her again. something super emotional and dumb. ahahah. wow that was the worst description ever. enjoy that. >__<

hita & tristan
Ah, I love it! I can definitely see them becoming 'friends'. As for meeting places, Hita does like to sneak about after dark. They could probably run into one another late at some less-than-respectable establishment, haha. But I do like the idea of Hita working for a friend of his, as well. Scandal is fabulous (:
I'm anxious to get threading! Is there anything else?

excellent!! is it okay if i start? i think i'll do it in the three-fingered jack's - but i imagine it to take place outside rather than in the tavern itself (well rather, tristan will probably have come from there haha)

[/font] [/quote] oooh, you know what, this is perfect! so tristan doesn't like to go into opium dens, but there's a huuuge rift in tristan's family because his brother is an opium addict. its one of the things tristan escapes from. so maybe he's asked by his grandmother to go retrieve his brother from the opium den, and jace is about to go into the den and sees tristan basically getting pissed and offers to retrieve his brother for him? i dunno, whatever you think you can see jace doing in this sort of situation. so they sort of form this really odd friendship - i mean jace isn't from the working class, but its not exactly like tristan can be seen with him, and jace will know of his brother and that tristan's from high society - scandalouuuuus! (and that's perfect for the hita+tristan thread! thank you! i'll just make up some nonsense that tristan and jace are already friends for the hita thread, haha) [/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] |

[/size] now i do love a good scandal! if tristan kissed her, i'm sure she wouldn't know what to do! she'd probably stand their shocked and wide eyed, or maybe even slap him for putting her in that situation, but let's be honest...he's handsome and she'd like it haha. and they both get mad at each other but have those awkward and tense moments? either way, these two would be quite hilarious together!

zigana
yessss! awkward and tense moments sound awesome! where would you like to start this debauchery? c:
helen
ahah, they're all connectedddd. INDIA! so for some reason, I see Helen and Tristan having a kind of...soft relationship. Okay that sounds really odd, let me explain haha. Like I see Tristan at some social call, and maybe he kind of meanders off from the crowd, having a really rough day (maybe a bad incident at home) and he makes some comment to Helen who is in the other room watching the children while the adults are in the room Tristan came from (or whatever you see Helen doing) and Tristan makes some comment, kind of deep/self-revealing, you know? and maybe Tristan and Helen have this sort of relationship for awhile where there is no physical contact (but obviously something is there) but they just kind of revel in quiet moments or talk about exotic lands? So maybe Helen will get this different idea of Tristan, when for the most part he's quite the debonair and arrogant ass who lives on whiskey and fleeting love? Does this make any sense? Would this work at all? haha
