The First PIF Mystery Ball (closed January, 2003) |
The Characters: The Hostess, Fuzzy, Queen of Wuzzy played by ♥Pay It Forward♥ Bio: Her Majesty is the queen of a vast Fuzzy Forest empire and enjoys the loyalty many humble vassals such as squirrels, birds, mice and many other forest creatures, big and small (but mostly small). She spends much of her time sipping tea and honey with her two sisters, The Ladies Boo Boo and Pooh Pooh, whilst Pooh Pooh sings her funny folk-bear songs and Boo entertains her with fuzzy magic. True, Queen Fuzzy lives a pampered life, but is not one to squander her good fortune selfishly and has therefore decreed that a Fuzzy Ball be held for the fun and entertainment of those how would wish to visit the Fuzzy Forest. And, if anything should go wrong at the festivities, she will rely on Boo's magic to "undo" any misfortune brought onto her guests. Lord Force M. Aster played by FM - 1 Writer to rule them all Bio: A figure shrouded in mystery as much as his heavy cloak, he is never seen outside his suit of armor or without his enchanted longsword. Rumors shared in discrete whispers talk about him being the last surviving member of a once proud noble family that was destroyed in the last great war. Other rumors abound at the revenge he called down upon those who smote his family, and it is these that often impart fear into the hearts of otherwise stout people. Whispers of dark magicks and demons are never far behind him. From those who have actually managed to get him to talk (which is very very few), it is obvious that he remembers very little of the destruction of his family, being only a child at the time... but, occasioanlly, flashes and fragments surface from the depths of his mind. What he sees are the colours of death. His soul is haunted by them. Baron Lienhart played by Sir Mirom Bio: Baron Lien is about 25 years old, and is not wont to speak about his past. He is erudite, intelligent, soft spoken but given to occasional fits of temper. Noting his lack of interest in the ladies, local dowagers have spread the rumor that must be a recent widower. He is far away from his holdings in Nostricila, but his income there seems more than adequate. Indeed, his local lodgings are costly, and while he does not live a life of excess his habits are commensurate with the weight of his well laden purse. Clad in sumptuous furs that threaten to overpower his slight frame (Nostricila is located in a cold climate), he would present a most imposing figure, except that alas, Lien is only 5 feet, 3 inches tall. Lord James Edward Araqu played by Alexander Bio: Lord Araqu is a young 23 year old 6 foot man from Ireland's town of Sligo. He has always prided himself of being the best swordsman Ireland has to offer; in his many years of fencing he has never lost a battle. Not much is known about his personal life. He keeps to himself for the most part. Lady Lucinda played by ♥HOOves♥ Bio: Lady Lucinda has a rather checkered past. She worked as a barmaid and partime stripper in Dublin, with the stage name, Rapunzel, before she inherited her title from a long lost great aunt. She's known for her long beautiful hair and bewitching personality, that belies a hot and volatile temper. Princess Starlight DECEASED played by Maryann Bio: Not since Helen of Troy has a lady so fair graced this world. Princess Starlight is the reincarnation of the face that launched a thousand ships. She has always been thought of as one of the most cunning souls in her family. She presides in Edinburgh, Scotland not far from the hills of Lammermuir. Her years of wisdom and travels have propelled her to be a very sociable, well versed princess. She has been known to disguise herself and mingle with commoners. Mary Starlight is pleased to be involved in the ball. Prince Hamlet played by ElaineElaine Bio: Prince of Wales, Hamlet is the modern day Hamlet; his father and mother very much alive and well. He's married to Princess Samatha, who is expecting their first child. Princes Samatha insisted that Prince Hamlet go to the ball without her -- she is just fine in her eight month of pregnancy. Even though Hamlet became quite familiar as a child with Shakespeare's play, who wouldn't if they were named after such a famous literary character, he insists that he is nothing like his namesake. If he does have a few resemblences to the ill-fated historical Hamlet, such as an affinity for ghosts, well, he's not letting on. He's a well-adjusted and happy person, so he says. Sir William Milksley played by The Milkman Bio: Having been a lifelong resident of Pennsylavania and well known in the political arena I have bumped a shoulder or two with the likes of Thomas Jefferson, John Q. Adams and Benjamin Franklin. I won't say I was influential to the Declaration of Independence but I was asked a couple of times of my opinions of a word or two in the writing. However you won't find my name scrbbled at the bottom of this well known document but Forensic Scientists will probably be able to remove some of my DNA from the parchment. One day while I was dusting it I sneezed. Lady Lavender played by wood-bunny Bio: I (Lavender) witnessed the brutal death of my father when I was 10yrs old, I had to go into hiding, until the murderers were caught and jailed. Since I don't talk about it, or anything much about myself, I have therefore gained a reputation amongst my friends of a woman shrouded in mystery. I am of moderate height, and weight. The first thing people usually notice about me, is my waist-length white hair and white eyes, yes I am an albino. Along with my deathly pale white skin, I resemble a walking ghost. I am 27 (twenty seven) years of age. I have a phobia of knives (as that is how my father was brutally murdered), and also a phobia about the number 3 (three) (my father was murdered on the 3rd day of the 3rd month). I am slowly trying to overcome my phobia's. Sir Jamison played by Fireant Bio: Prosperous younger son of improverished noble house. Forced into the trade *shudder* and chose to specialize in spices because one could build an emprie with the fortune that could be made. Sir Jamison loves the travel that running a spice empire entails and is rather adventerous. Sir Jamison is lean with an athletic build, he is 5'10 with blond hair and peircing blue eyes. Lately he's taken to wearing a rather rakish van dyke. Sir Jamison is personable, open, friendly and well educated. He's single and considered quite a catch by both the nobility and the merchant class. He walks and balances well between the nobility and freeman.

Lady Sarinja played by ladisarinja Bio: Being the only child and direct descendant of Lord Sarin, Lady Sarinja was born into her title. Not one to rest on her laurels, this did not stop her from using the knowledge and power of her ancestors to wage war against tyranny and earning her own place in this world. Both on the field and in the castle of her birth, her natural beauty and grace only serve to hide the powerful warrior spirit. Lady Sarinja was excited at being invited to the ball, but her quiet unassuming nature only served to make guests wonder what she was really up to. Marie Antoinette played by Marie Bio: Born and raised Russia, Marie is completely oblivious to the past her name brings to mind. Never knowing that her mother named her thus due to a fortold death, Marie continues to live a sweet and innocent life full of sweet little nothings that bring a pleasant smile to others. While she is thought strange to always wear red, no one can deny the good intentions she seems to always have. And though she may be a little queer, it can only be blamed on a strict and guarded upbringing full of strife and all alone with no other children in her life. If you ever wish to make her aquaintance and stay to the front of her mind - just never mind the abstract things she will say. Always reply as if things are right as rain. And never think she is not all there - never think an odd mind to be less full of intelligence or you will be greatly surprised.
