Quote:
 
When Lionel Hawthorne, a wealthy and well-known business-man, becomes tired of waiting for his son, William, to make a proper marriage, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Under the guise of a fanciful party, he invites a variety of wealthy bachelorettes to mingle under his roof in the hopes that his son will take a liking to one of them. Along with them arrive a veritable host of male bachelors.

However, tragedy strikes when they find young William dead. Determined to capture the murderer red-handed, the Hawthornes refuse to allow anyone to leave the building until the perpetrator is found.


CHARACTERS NEEDED:

  • Any members of the Hawthorne family (brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins etc.)
  • Any members of the staff (butlers, maids, cooks etc.)
  • Bachelors
  • Bachelorettes
  • Anyone else you would like to add to the plot
Unfortunately folks, a character bio will be required for this particular story since we're accepting O.C.'s only. Feel free to either keep it short and sweet or spice it up.

Position (Bachelorette, Staff etc.):
Appearance:

Suspicions:

Note: William's parents are NPC's to be played by EmoGurlTBA and I ONLY, just because we feel that it will be easier for us to get the plot rolling that way; feel free to pick up any of William's other family/friends though!

Name: Vivienne Hawthorne, more commonly called simply Vi or Viv
Age: 15
Position (Bachelorette, Staff etc.): William's younger sister.
Appearance: Vivienne has tight, bushy dark ringlets that hang at just past elbow-length; during important affairs, she wears them up in a twist or hairnet, though generally they're loose. Vivienne is fairly pale-skinned with pointed, angular features and cheek bones so sharp it looks as though they very well might cut as easily through wood as a saw. Her eyes are almond-shaped, almost like a cat's, coupled with very one-toned, ice-blue eyes and thick lashes. Her lips are quite full, but can become very thin when she's angry or frightened.
Personality: It can be argued that Vivienne is spoiled or pampered, however one would not meet her and imagine her to be conceited. In fact, apart from important gatherings, Vivienne's hair and clothes are almost always awry. She has a penchant for getting herself into trouble, due as often to her liking for mischief as her inane clumsiness. When confronted head-on, one would be surprised how cutting or witty a remark Vivienne might have to offer in response. In heated discussions, Vivienne can become sometimes overly passionate. Usually, the girl is easy-going, though when her temper is truly sparked, it is a sight to behold. At times she can be petulant, likely due to how used to getting her way she is.
Motives: There are few, for Vivienne certainly did like her brother. Of course, however, there was always the matter of jealousy. While Vivienne's doting father always seemed to hold a soft spot in his heart for the girl, it has always been clear both parents favored William, however infinitesimally. While when Vivienne wasn't cutting out of her lessons with their private tutor she was likely to be found fast asleep with boredom, William had always been wise beyond his years. Though intelligent enough in her own street-savvy way, Vivienne could never manage to summon enough interest to catch up to him in their studies.
Suspicions: (Will likely edit this once some people have joined :glasses:)

Name: Juliet Frescha
Age:17
Position (Bachelorette, Staff etc.): Technically a bachorlette, but really Juliet's only going to the Hawthorne party because the Frescha's are a neighboring family and Juliet's mother couldn't bear the thought of her daughter not going to the Hawthorne's party.
Appearance: Juliet is tall for a girl her age, a trait inherited from her father seemingly, because she stands over her ever-willful mother by nearly a head. With a porcelain complexion, and a pale blonde mane, Juliet is teased that when she stands to close to a candle at night one might mistake her for a ghost. She's pretty, with drops of ocean-colored blue lighting up her face, and occasionally a room, but those who know her know that Juliet would much rather read a book then spend time powdering her nose or fretting over her hair.
Personality: Not minding to be a drizzle among hurricanes, Juliet is never fussy, knows when to hold her tongue, and prefers dialogue in books to dealing with her peers, honestly. She is constantly criticized by her younger sister, Elenora, for being a bit too reserved, but Juliet would much rather an aloneness in old age than to be pestered with a husband she had no choice in marrying, or worse, a widow to a man she never should have married in the first place. When in the right, comfortable, situation however, she is a bit brighter, reminding one of a sunshower as opposed to a light drizzle. Juliet is educated, and borderline brilliant, though she'd never admit it or believe anyone who told her.
Motives:Virtually none; excepting of course, with no guest of honor, there wouldn't have been a party to solicit her presence, but it's a little late for that now, don't you think?
Suspicions: The Hawthorne sister? I mean. It pretty much had to be her, because there are only Juliet and Vivienne at this party apparently :tongue:
