you know nothing more than a name before you see him. in fact, you donāt even know that, but the first thing you notice, above all else, are bruised knuckles. why are they bruised? you want to ask, but you donāt, because your mother will only get cross with you, and you donāt need that right now. you swallow your questions down like pills, one after another. he hardly speaks. he hardly even makes a sound with his gigantic feet as he moves from room to room, chair to couch to chair again. heās fidgeting in a much more eloquent way than you ever could, but you know heās anxious. why wouldnāt he be? so are you.Ā after all, being told you must marry a strangerĀ āfor the good of the family,ā can do that to a person, specifically when you know any questions that you asked will be shrugged away with a sigh and a,Ā ādo we really have to do this all the time with you, eugenia? can you please just do as youāre told.ā
of course you can. you always do.Ā
you always fucking do.
more detailed request for an arranged marriage plot under the cut.Ā
look, you donāt have to take anything i say in that little blurb above into consideration when it comes to making him, nor do you have to feel like you have to somehow create a character from the images i used in the moodboard. itās just sort of how iām presently picturing him -- how genie is presently picturing him, and probably pictured him prior to actually having met him, so you can roll with whatever you see fit since she still probably doesnāt know much about him at this point in time (i figure this is still a very fresh, new development in which these two have yet to even have any proper one-on-one time with each other and without their parents/guardians/whatever).Ā
at any rate, for some reason genieās parents (more specifically her mother) have decided itās high time she gets married, and have teamed up with this guyās parents or guardians or even just their boss, to throw these two together. because reasons. thatās basically the answer genie gets anytime she ever even tries to ask why in the hell an arranged marriage is going to do anything to better the family or oros in any way whatsoever.
iāve still got no idea what it is that her parents do beyond having relatively close ties to the government/politics in general, but i would assume whoeverās got him doing this is also in the same boat. genie is nothing if not obedient and will do as sheās asked without question, and he could be the same way, or doing it because of blackmail or because he actually does know why they have to get married and he agrees to theĀ āmission.ā i see him as a soldier-type, just very quiet and maybe a little broody but could also very easily kill you with his pinky toe (mostly to balance out genieās head in the clouds and up her ass attitude where everything is peachy keen in the world), but again, do what you want. if you have someone kicking around already, by all means, volunteer them for this! iām not picky. age isnāt a big deal to me either in this case, because i know it wouldnāt be for her mother even if it sort of would be for genie herself. (for reference, sheās roughly 23~ years old.)
basically, this is really open and iām more than happy to hash this out with you and help us create this entire mess together? i donāt imagine thereās much in regards to feelings between these two, given that theyāre total strangers to each other and what have you (unless you want to go a route where he does actually know her, even though she doesnāt know/recognize him and have some peeta mellark-esque vibes here, which could make things interesting more complicated in that case? or he could know her and hate her too, whatever floats your boat).
this is already SUPER long, so iām just going to leave it at this for now but feel free to message me or reply to this post if you have any interest at all in this mess of a half-baked idea!

eugeniaĀ āgenieā barney // early 20s // arkadian civilianĀ
a shallow puddle with muck and expensive perfume and a daisy that remains untouched by both at the bottom of it all. a princess without a castle or a prince or a crown when itās all youāve ever wanted, or all you've ever been told to want, like there's a difference to you. cheeses that taste bad on your tongue but you swallow it because you must, because mother will not be pleased to see you spit into your napkin like you usually do and you mustnāt disappoint her again, no not this time. a cat purring like an engine that could take you away if you wanted it to but you donāt, not really. stars in your eyes burn like flecks of dust or metal. a sun that shines without knowing that some of things it touches are not good. a moon that blinds itself at night and ignores those that are bleeding or crying in the streets in the dark. paint, too much on the sleeves of your shirt and not enough on your face. a bouquet of a prince charming that's been carefully arranged with just the right amount of baby's breath and no lillies and a vase that feels rough on the fingers but is kind to the eyes even though you wouldnāt have picked it out personally. obedient dog patiently waiting for its supper while its stomach growls for something more. Ā
āSunday nights that you want her like velvet cake,
Sweet heart can bargain half price mistakes,
She will go down with her ship like a good captain,
You're sitting on the dock playing for an audience of one.ā
