BIOGRAPHY.

for the english family, having a son that would someday come to rule always felt like... tradition. jason took his first breath on october 31st in king edward vii's hospital located in marylebone, west london and was the apple of his mother's eye. growing up in the spotlight for many years was pretty traumatizing and that may be the reason he is the way he is. things started slowly for jason. he went to the best schools, he got decent grades. at one point, he may have actually been ready to lead england. like most good things, though. there’s always a time things come crashing down. as someone who was expected to anything and everything to gain a good reputation, he was good at it for a little while. he did everything his parents wanted him to do. he attended rallies, showed his face during special relationships and regiment meetings, and most importantly, he continued to visit various countries. by the time he was seventeen, he had gained a good relationship with other royals and spent a lot of his time in front of a camera wishing it would all just end.

as a member of the royal family, serving in the armed services had been a family tradition and he joined shortly after his eighteenth birthday, fighting overseas and making friends with people he normally wouldn't have spent time with due to his parents and their certain need for him to carry a certain image in the public eye. the first time he ever slept with someone, it hadn’t been with anyone royal. it had been a member of his infantry force and it was messy, fast, and ended too soon as far as he was concerned. as time progressed, he got closer to this man, unwilling to falter to the idea that his parents may actually disown him over the fact he was gay, and eventually planned on breaking the news to his parents when he was shot in combat and left in a pool of his own blood only to wake up a few days later in a hospital. that was when the true shift of his personality came. 

after being flown back home, his father visited him. it was the first time they spoke about him marrying a princess to make sure a heir would be produced, but it wasn’t the last time he heard it, either. when he finally did tell his father he had no interest in women, the man laughed at him and told him never to speak of it again -- so, he didn’t. for jason, actions spoke louder than words. if his father didn’t want to accept who he was, he would make sure the world knew.

reckless behavior is something he’s good at. he stopped paying attention to his royal duties and instead focused on what he wanted to do. he started drinking and partying and pretty much did everything in his power in hopes his father would pass the crown to his younger sibling, but when that didn’t happen, it sort of made him go even further down a destructive path. he started sleeping around, got into numerous fights with the paparazzi, and has stormed off on multiple occasions when he’s frustrated. he’s been photographed with numerous men, and he’s made the front page on magazines in his hometown. he’s not entirely sure how he ended up on the pirate ship, but he’ll be the first to admit he was hungover.

**yo yo yo friends it’s riley back at it again ( after a small eternity ) with a soft trashcan of a human for your reading enjoyment.

— basic facts: he’s 27, the youngest child of the monégasque royal family, thinks his name sounds like it came out of a comic book, and absolutely despises being called theodore by anyone but his family ( and even then it takes a lot for him to tolerate it because it’s usually happening if he’s in trouble ). he’s far too mellow for his own good, is demiromantic and has absolutely no idea how to be in a relationship with someone if he doesn’t know them which makes the whole idea of being betrothed absolutely horrifying to him.

— teddy was an exceedingly rambunctious, happy child. he had nothing to worry about in the world, adored his brother and sister and their parents, and delighted in everything that was good about his world and his upbringing. his mother’s death when he was five years old was just about as devastating as any event could be for a five year old and though he absolutely adores his stepmother he does have occasional bouts of missing his mother that are difficult for him to shake.

— he’s always been more of a troublemaker than grace; he doesn’t exactly intend to cause as much trouble as he inevitably does, he simply enjoys fun and shirking his princely responsibilities in every way he can because he doesn’t know how to handle the weight of an entire country on his shoulders. with his oldest brother having returned after abdicating the throne and the changing dynamic of their family with grace no longer next in line to be queen - teddy doesn’t quite know where he fits in anymore. he knows he’ll likely be married off to someone and that scares him more than he’d ever admit. so he turned to partying and getting into trouble as quietly as possible to make himself less appealing for betrothal.

— he was able to forget at least some it his worry on the matter when he went away to england to study where he reconnected with his best friend and really allowed himself the space to grow into everything he wanted to be as a man.

—  at twenty-seven he is very slowly starting to realize that he needs to get his shit together in terms of all of his bad habits and grace’s kidnapping only cemented that fact for him. he was equally devastated by her disappearance as he was by their mother’s death and in the time before he himself was kidnapped he began to attend meetings with his father, studying up on all of the responsibilities that would be his should he inherent the crown from his father or brother.

— he wasn’t exactly the easiest to deal with after having been kidnapped - for all of his ordinary mellowness he was fiercely opposed to being taken by pirates and has found himself sporting his fair share of bumps and bruises from his bad behavior on the journey to the island. he isn’t resigned to his fate by any means but the prospect of seeing his sister again, and the friends he’d already lost to the island excites him more than is arguably appropriate for the situation as a whole.

— basically: teddy’s a mellow, goofy, brilliantly intelligent person who genuinely doesn’t want to be on the island but isn’t going to complain about it so long as he and his sister are safe, and he’ll do just about anything to ensure that that doesn’t change if he can help it. he’s prone to rattling of cheesy jokes and silly puns to make people laugh, will happily ramble on about the history of various places and people and things and genuinely wants to spend his adult life as a historian if he can find a way to do it. he’s a troublemaker to some extent, always has a solution for anything that comes his way, and is genuinely trying to make the best of the situation he’s found himself in.

- Lee was born and spent his early childhood in Jeonju, SK, with his mother, father, and older sister. His father’s job as a military lawyer meant that his family moved often: by age eighteen, he had lived in Tokyo, Zurich, Berlin, and Glasgow. He quickly picked up English and Japanese as secondary languages to communicate.

- His older sister was the intellectual of the two, quickly on track to become an attorney in her father’s footsteps. SangHyun was quick-witted, but altogether too stubborn and headstrong to listen to anything his parents told him. He and his family started to grow distant by the time he was a teenager, and that suited him fine.

- Lee left for active duty after barely scraping by in high school. He had the athletic ability, and rose through the ranks quickly with his talent at close combat. Even so, his stony disapproval of authority meant he would never quite reach his potential.

- He was discharged from service at age 24: in a knife fight, he managed to take out an outranking officer’s eye. He left for Glasgow, the last place he’d lived before the South Korean military. His family, of course, had moved on, but he could not bring himself to track them down.

Nathan is the only son of Roman’s older sister, Rosa, and her husband. 

DOB: June 16, 1990

Weight: 190

Height: 5’11

Born: West Indies

Nathan spent a good chunk of his childhood aboard a ship because of his father’s devotion to the life of piracy he chose. His father and mother couldn’t stand the idea of being apart, which lead Rosa to join in his way of life, and the moment she stepped foot on the ship was one of revelation for her. Though Nathan’s parents preferred life on the sea to any port or city, they knew their son needed the grounding effect of a home that didn’t move, which is why he spent summers with his cousins. He also grew spending holidays and birthdays with his family, learning what it meant to be a part of something bigger than himself, and though he admired his uncle and the children that would eventually become masters of the sea, Nathan always felt relieved the weight of the Tulach name did not rest on his shoulders. 

He reveled in the notoriety his family connection gave him, enjoying the clout without nearly as much weight on his head, and as soon as he was able, he began working on Tulach ships. His mother was gifted her own ship, The Flying Dragon, and while Nathan was more than happy for his mother (everyone who knew her had surmised she dreamed of nothing less than Captainship), he never wanted to sail with her. In his teens and early twenties, he hopped from ship to ship, filling any position available that he was able to fulfill, and for years he lived a life of carefree piracy that was everything he could dream of. 

That all came to an end when his mother passed away unexpectedly. His father was suddenly promoted to Captain, and it was only expected that he turned his own expectations to the son he had spent a lifetime molding. Nathan took to the job well, for loyalty had never been in question, but what surprised him was how much he enjoyed the responsibility he spent years avoiding. It’s been four years now, and his dedication to his role could not be stronger. He learned that being high on the totem pole did not mean he could not get his hands dirty every now and then, in fact, it only made the job easier. 

Connections:

Charlotte Abernathy: Nathan grew up with Charlotte. He taught her how to tie knots, and she taught him what little humility he owns by defeating him in any form of combat available at any chance she got. Their friendship was something that made him look forward to the months he was landlocked every year, but that relationship evolved shortly after they went from children to young adults. Their friendship was still there, but now it was more, so much more. He fell into her like nothing he’d experienced outside of the sailing, and when she left him to advance her career, he experienced darkness he never fathomed possible. Nathan chose to internalize the way it hurt, knowing their break up wouldn’t be as simple as never seeing each other again, and though he is amicable enough to get through their encounters, his pain simmers just under the surface of the competition that has always resided between them. 

I will be adding to connections all day, but I wanted to get this out before I cook myself some dinner! Shoot me a message or give this a like and I’ll come to you if you would like to plot!

Throughout history, there were many cliched stories about royal children who were envious of their eldest sibling and their claim to the throne. Tales spun about that envy giving birth to deception and ploys to replace the first in line. However, Rolan never fit in that role. He savored the privileges of being born in royalty just like his oldest sibling, and yet he also felt caged in by castle walls. Most of his lessons and lectures during childhood were spent gazing out windows and daydreaming. He loved his family and his country but they would never quench his thirst for knowledge or his curiosity about the world outside Luxembourg.

Roland was frequently reprimanded for his attempts to ditch his escorts and go beyond the borders of Luxembourg. And it was only with the realization that royal responsibilities could grant him a reason to travel that he began to take his status as royalty seriously. By the age of sixteen, he was as equipped to take on the crown as his oldest sibling was but he still had no interest in doing so. Instead, he began traveling in earnest. First to the countries that bordered Luxembourg and then further beyond.

It was during a summer stay in Belgium that he started his first real relationship with the princess of Belgium, Arielle Aremberg. Their love ignited with an intensity Roland never felt before but it was not meant to last. His parents became determined to arrange a marriage between him and another woman when he started nearing his later-twenties. He was tempted to defy the proposed union for his love but eventually gave in to his duty as royalty. Though Rolan and his betrothed never truly got along like he had with Arielle. And perhaps it was because of his bitterness at having to give up on his first love or a genuine lack of compatibility, or both. Either way, they never attempted to work through their differences.

Roland was courteous to his fiancee and helped her become accustomed to Luxembourg but he didn’t give up his travels either. In fact, he traveled further and stayed away longer after being engaged, which constantly caused the official marriage ceremony to be postponed. He was on a trip to Turkey and on the verge of finally resigning himself to an unhappy but necessary marriage when he was taken captive by pirates.

Astrid Magnussen was born in a small town on the Swedish coast, to loving, if underprepared parents. An only child, Astrid grew up shy, she had difficulty making friends and spent her free time out on the ocean with her father in his fishing boat whenever she got the chance. She looks back on this time in her life as pretty idyllic. However, when she was 8 years old, her mother suddenly died in a car accident. Her mother had been driving down a different route that night, rerouted because of a royal motorcade when she swerved to avoid a reindeer, the car spinning out over the ice of a Scandanavian winter night. Devastated, and unable to bear reminders of the woman he loved, Astrid’s father sold his fishing boat and their house, packing up his and Astrid’s belongings to start a new life.

With his daughter in tow, he had a difficult time finding work on the open seas, but was eventually offered a position on one of the Tulach ships. Astrid grew up on ships, doing odd jobs, and as a result, always saw the oceans as her home far more than any place on land. As a teenager she discovered a talent and a passion for navigating, learning everything she could from the other pirates on the ship, and from her father.
