VtMRaekaYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. This is just a cut and paste - Raeka exists and has a sorted background - i'll edit this when i have a chance...I'm a bit of a n00b, so i need some suggestions / advice / help developing we're given the following: the game starts in the year 1840, in geogia. everything's been slapped together rather haphazardly, so please bear with some useful resources: Spain 1820 Character] name: Raeka (meaning beautiful/unique) | | Name | Meaning | Mother | Isabel | Concecrated to God | Father | Neron | Peace/Rest | Brother | Ciro | The Sun | Brother | Luna | The Moon (in latin... they are Catholic, right?) | Husband | Devante | Fighter of Wrong Remember this is 1810's - 1840's: young women are still expected to marry as virgins, and treat their husband as a lord. The revolution has taken place in America, but not the civil war. Spain is still shipping military supplies to Cuba, and still has control of large quantities of the Americas. The French are in there too. Raeka was a beautiful girl, born and raised in a small village named Monda, in the coastal (well, partly everything-al) province of Andalucia. When she was 5 or 6, her mother died giving birth to her twin siblings. From then on, as well as attempting to educate herself through books, she became a full-time mother and housekeeper. It is due to this that she grew up extremely strong-willed, and protective of her siblings. I need more detail on the siblings - their relationships both with her and each other. This is necessary because of *1 Devante is an apprentice trader to his extremely wealthy, and well-connected father. Good looking and well-groomed, very polite in company, but self-centred and abusive in private. She was not so much forced to marry Devante, as she knew it was the only thing she could do to save her family (they needed the money he would give as her dowry) A short while after she'd realized that she was pregnant, Devante came home in a bad mood - they had a fight and he threw her down (roughly). She suffered a miscarriage, and so was not only in physically bad condition, but emotionally traumatized and enraged too (made all the worse by her attachment to her family and her emphasized mothering instincts). Once she felt better, she used some of her husband's contacts (through their wives, no doubt) and boarded a ship going to Cuba running away is extremely shameful to both her husband and her father. her only form of remaining contact with her family, from now on, is with Ciro, which is via letters. From Cuba she needs to get, somehow, to Georgia ((( The only job she can get is with a dance troupe. The dance troupe does a performance for the Governor of Cuba at a function with some business partners in Georgia. One of the business partners is so enamoured with the dancers, that he organises for them to do some performances in Georgia (first new orleans, then georgia. it's on the way, and more logical - GeekDotNeo). At one of the performances, she meets up and attracts the interest of a wealthy toreador, who is a lover of the Flamenco??? ))) This is almost where our story begins, just before 1840. maybe 37 / 38, i dunno |
