APPEARANCE

FACECLAIM : anya chalotra

HAIR COLOUR / STYLE : long and wavy dark brown hair, silky looking. worn up, with typical russian nobility headdress when she must, but wears it down when in her chambers. prefers hindustani veils.

EYE COLOUR / SHAPE : almond shaped hazel eyes.

HEIGHT : 167 cm ( 5 feet 6 )

BUILD : lean, but healthy in appearance

SPEECH STYLE : nagasani is a mezzo-soprano, and speaks as such. she makes sure her enunciation is precise and speaks very clearly, outwardly and concisely. she's a woman of few words, but bullseyes each and every single one.

RECOGNIZABLE MARKINGS : birthmark on her upper inner left thigh, scar on her nostril from previously worn ring.

BEAUTY HABITS : her beauty habits align with the ones of the most hindustani nobles - she bathes often, despite the weather in moscow not requiring it as much as the one in fatehpur sikr. she likes to wear her eyelids shades of green and blue, but the right pigment is hardly found in moscow and perhaps the practice not well seen for a woman who should be striving to become russian-like. nagasani cares for her skin with plant based oils, despite straying from any particular one with a more noticeable scent, due to her position in foreign court.

HEALTH

PHYSICAL AILMENTS : none, apart from common cold and fevers every now and then.

NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION : the tsarevna is neurotypical. despite being somewhat paranoid with her russian counterparts, it would not be considered a neurological condition. she's focused and holds an incredibly long attention span. 

PHOBIAS : thalassophobia ( fear of the sea )

ALLERGIES : none

SLEEPING HABITS : nagasani doesn't sleep uncomfortably, but she's a very light sleeper, almost as if she sleeps with one eye open. she feels as if she's surrounded by enemies.

SOCIABILITY : she's not the most social in russian court, most definitely. she wasn't in hindustan, either, but she used to be a warm host, a kind one, too. nowadays she mostly keeps to herself and watches. she starts conversations only if she deems it will be fruitful for her ultimate goal, and doesn't beat around the bushes much, while still making sure to assess the person's intentions before spilling the beans.

EYE COLOUR / SHAPE : small, round dark green eyes, bordering hazel.

HEIGHT : 1.88m / 6'2’’

BUILD : francesco is a clear ecto-mesomorph - he's a tall man and, dressed, many would assume not very muscular, and despite his muscles not being overly defined, his well built body is clearly visible when nude.

SPEECH STYLE : money exuding from his lips, francesco's speech doesn't hide his privileged position in society - it is very noticeable from the way he speaks that he comes from big money, good education. very passionate in his words, he sometimes blabbers, but never goes speechless.

NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION : franci is a mentally stable man, despite his delusion of grandeur, incessant search for popularity and constant drinking. he might not have a grip on his relationship to alcohol, but he does not believe it to be an unhealthy one. in modern days, he would most likely be considered by most people an alcoholic, although he probably would never give in to that notion. 

PHOBIAS : fear of being insignificant 

ALLERGIES : none

SLEEPING HABITS : francesco sleeps like a rock. he may sleep at odd hours, perhaps too late, or take way too long naps in the afternoon, but he sleeps well and long. he dreams of fantastical creatures and lands he has never seen, which often fuel his art.

SOCIABILITY : to him, sociability is a tool to popularity, and so he partakes in the common courtesy of it. he attends events in palazzos and takes the company of various acquaintances in tuscany, as well as everywhere he goes. he takes the role with ease, a natural born facade that changes with each other he speaks to, franci is skilled in getting people to like him, for his own benefit. still, he's a passionate man who does not mind real and meaningful connection, as long as it does not mean exclusivity.

USUAL DEMEANOR : surrounded by his closest and most trustworthy, antónio is a bright and light young man, talkative and friendly, full of ideas and easily excited. he stands goofily and doesn't appease to royal standards. amongst court, he's stiffer and less expressive, unless in defence of his family and country's honor, but is more of a listened than a talker - unless in festive environment, when he's capable to mix his public persona with his personal social talents, an energetic and magnetic man.

HEALTH

PHYSICAL AILMENTS : none worth mention. always an active and healthy child, antónio never suffered from grave illness, only usual summer fevers..

NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION : from a young age, tutors and staff noticed antónio's restlessness. even when doing things he enjoyed, he displayed anxious behaviors, such as inability to wait for his own turn, having difficulty maintaining attention in one task - description compatible with symptoms of ADHD-C. despite the hardships of his lack of focus and generalized anxieties, antónio grew up to be an emotionally intelligent man, although only mildly aware of his own emotional dependency on his father's opinions. aside from the above and the sleep disorder, which will be described later), antónio struggles with a sense of lack of self-awareness. not a complete disruption of perception, which would make him identifiable with a dissociative disorder, but mild enough to be considered a sort of dissociation from material reality, such as depersonalization, in which antónio is detached from his surroundings in midst of anxiety episodes and finds himself as a third-party, observant of himself, but is aware that the feeling is not reality. in defiance of all the above, antónio remains a light-hearted individual, usually seem as a happy young man. he would not describe himself as unhappy in any given time, but is aware of his inner turmoils - only to categorize them as usual human emotions. he has no intention of pursuing explanations for his behaviors, nor treatment for them (despite his father's constant attempts of calming him down as a child).

PHOBIAS : fear of disappointing his family, fear of being forgotten

ALLERGIES : none

SLEEPING HABITS : antónio has difficulties in falling asleep, and once he does, he might wake up several times throughout the evening. he's gone through weeks at a time with minimal amounts of sleep, but his overall appearance and posture is hardly affected by it. antónio suffers from episodes of dissociation during sleep, such as being unable to dream in first person, which affects him while awake as he sometimes has a hard time knowing if he's awake or dreaming. overall, antónio sleeps late when he does, just as sun's about to rise, and wakes up throughout his sleep several times, but eventually gets up around 3-5 hours later, average. when he has early duties, he often does not sleep.

SOCIABILITY : extremely extroverted, antónio will make a point to talk to as many people as he can in any given situation, whatever the matter is. he's constantly and impatiently looking for new acquaintances and companies, whether it be for sexual reasons or merely social ones. he is usually seen as the life of the party in many people's eyes. although he prefers writing, painting and studying by himself, all his other leisure activities are prefered to be done with groups of people. antónio is more than capable of spending good alone time, but prefers to keep the company of others.

GENDER & PRONOUNS : cis-male, he / him ETHNICITY : white russian DATE OF BIRTH & AGE: march 21, 1527 ; 32 years of age ZODIAC SIGN : aries --- the sign that marks the beginning of something turbulent.

RELIGIOUS VIEWS : none anymore, although he was raised orthodox catholic and still retains a good chunk of cultural views from it.   EDUCATION : as firstborn son, simeon was subject to intensive education growing up. he much preferred focusing on strategy and physical activity. a lot of details in his education have been lost; he’s much more of a practical man.

the belskyi family : he lived his life with the idea that he would one day take over bely, that he would step into his father’s place with pride. it has all crumbled around him, and he no longer recognizes the family as his own. there is the smallest care for pavel, but that care rests on a knife’s edge.

the ottoman empire : simeon was lost in a battle against the holy roman empire. he blames both the ottoman empire and the holy roman empire equally for this and cares for neither.

FAMILY :

parents : pyotr belskyi (deceased), anna pavlovna (deceased) --- his relationship was his father has always been complicated, but his mother was nothing but loving and kind to him. he misses her dearly.

siblings : pasha (deceased), patya (deceased), pavel (living) --- simeon was always hard on his brothers, wanting them to be strong to survive in the world. when pasha and patya died, he pulled away from pavel as well. and while their relationship has never been good, pavel is the only one that simeon does not actively seek for revenge.

OTHER FAMILIAL RELATIONS :

step - mother : irina trubetskaya (living) --- simeon has channeled most of his anger toward this one woman, the woman who has taken both the man he loved and his mother’s place. he’s a little obsessed with her!!

(this is when he began to learn how to read, and while he’s much more of a verbal learner, it was thrilling for him all the same.) the more time he spent with the royal family, the more they taught him as well. it turns out he has a real knack for language and not quite so much of a knack for mathematics. before he was given the position of grand vizier, he went through a lot of rigorous studies. he loves to learn, but he always feels a bit behind. he is entirely average when it comes to academics.  LANGUAGES SPOKEN : persian, urdu, arabic, and learning latin for his position. he picks up bits and pieces here and there though, and there are a lot of regional dialects that he’s become familiar with in his travels.  ALLEGIANCES : the house of sultan akbar khan i --- ahmad has always believed in akbar’s vision for hindustan and has killed for that vision. they have always rewarded him, and he has always considered them his dearest friends. now that he is married into the family, he is beginning to understand that it is far more complicated than that. while he remains loyal, this allegiance is currently being tested.  FAMILY : no immediate family --- father was killed in war, mother died when he was small.  OTHER FAMILIAL RELATIONS : roshanara (wife) --- complicated.

NEGATIVE TRAITS : brash, on-edge, temperamental.  HABITS : he needs to be constantly moving and cannot sit still. this means he will be tapping his foot or his finger on something, shifting, running his hands through his hair. he is not a nervous person by any means, but he simply wants to be moving all the time.  HOBBIES : dancing!!!!!! he loves, loves, loves to dance! partying, swimming, walking, talking to people, avoiding his wife, exploring marketplaces,  USUAL DEMEANOR : in certain ways, ahmad holds himself in high regards. he’s a bit brash, sometimes talking without consideration of title or politics, but he is always friendly upon first meeting. he’s a very passionate talker as well, which can sometimes be overwhelming in a first introduction. in other ways, however, ahmad is much less certain. in his new role as grand vizier, he feels like he is completely out of his depth, often resulting in a much quieter and smaller version of himself. he’s a bit intimidated!
