Lucien is the titular Duke and the main love interest in my visual novel "Isekai'd into the arms of a Yandere Duke", a vn idea I had for the yanjam2023!
The game is very much a wip, and I want to get my idea out first before I decide to completely polish it up. Although I have to admit, the story keeps growing and growing when I intended to keep it short as my first game... oh well haha.
Laplace will be introduced in the full day 1 demo that I plan to update... probably sometime in June? Mainly because the otome jam will be running during then, and I felt like it would be nice to upload the extended demo for it since it coincidentally looks like a reincarnation/isekai theme!
Anyways, you'll only see this little shit(affectionate) in day 1 if you pick a particular set of choices. And IF I'm able to code it just right, you can only do it once so be careful!
You'll bump into this scrawny fella in the demo, he's a bit of a mess but he tries his best! Has a twin sister but you'll only meet her later on, only characters to be met in the demo have their bios made yet.
On that note, I'll also mention there will be at least 3 other main characters planned for now: The original heroine Rosalind who has a bone to pick with Lucien and the player, The Crown Prince Melchior, who is part of the original otome game's roster of love interests and will be poking head in Lucien's business pertaining certain "disappearances", and Martha, Stuart's twin(yes I did that) who will be the player's personal maid in the Duke's mansion.
There may be more characters to come, I'm really just going with the flow right now.

This isn't an ask but I love how you assign different flowers for each character! My personal fav is Lucien with the "forever mine" red salvia, really great symbolism for his obsession with the MC!
My first "ask"! Thank you for sharing your thoughts anon!
I'm not sure how or why I decided to add in flower symbolism into the mix but I'm glad I did. I pick flowers based on a mix of their symbolism, language and just general vibes really. I didn't immediately share the meanings in case anyone liked digging around for info themselves, like I do lol, but I think this is a good time to share my thoughts because I just really like to share any cool info I find and use haha
You're spot on with Lucien's flower, the Red Salvia just seemed like the perfect fit for his character and his relationship with the MC! But I also wanted to note that the meanings for the other colors of Salvia do fit in with his character too!
Most of the excerpts I put in this post will be from the site The Petal Republic, I really enjoy reading the symbolism and meaning sections of the individual flower pages, check it out if you'd like! It's my main site for picking flowers for their meanings (but not always)
The red blooming Salvia flower is traditionally associated with love and romance and is symbolic of “Forever mine” gestures.
Purple is a very regal color, synonymous with royalty, success, and good standing.
The pink petals of a flower Salvia plant in the language of flowers are symbolic of love, femininity, gentleness
The blue flowers of a Salvia are often aligned with friendship and family and symbolic of thoughtful gestures such as sentiments of “missing you” or “thinking of you”.
All these aspects tie into his character one way or the other! You'll see more of it as the story unfolds.
[Also a little sidenote, I used it to make the little logo for the game too which you can see in the top left of the character bio pages, mixed with another symbol. I may have stuffed a lot of obscure meaning into small things lmao its a trend with me]
Conversely, I picked both Laplace's and Stuart's flowers mainly for their "negative" meanings, but the positives can fit them too.
Candytuft for Laplace because it can mean indifference, which is Laplace's default state. Other symbolic meanings of the candytuft include sweetness and stoic beauty. Also they're often depicted with/compared to fairies, and depending on who you ask fae and daemon can have a lot of similarities.... also why they are tiny at 4'9" lmao. And the appearance also just fits somehow.
I picked Begonia for Stuart, on the basis of "other meanings" section which somehow perfectly translated his role in the story, it's kinda crazy how it all fits.
Warnings of misfortune: Traditionally, a begonia flower stood for an omen of something sinister in the near future. Most people don’t subscribe to this meaning today, but it is the reason why begonias are still so popular as gifts in hospitals.Â
Caution: In some cultures, begonias are used to symbolize vigilance. You can give a begonia (of any color) to someone as a way of telling them to take care and stay healthy.Â
Harmony: Another typical meaning of the begonia flower is harmonious communication. They symbolize diplomacy, kindness, and peaceful transactions between individuals or businesses.Â
If you read till here, wow! Thank you for sticking to the end and reading my rambles, I appreciate it! Feel free to just share your thoughts and opinions too if not any asks! Always welcome
