For Cherry

 * i will face god and walk backwards into hell
 * "i'll do whatever you want" "then perish"
 * i have been through hell and come out singing
 * nothing in life is promised except death
 * there are no gods here
 * do i look like the kind of man who dies
 * god's dead and soon we will be too
 * i thought there were no heroes left in this world
 * you kneel before my throne unaware that it was built on lies
 * impudent of you to assume that i will meet a mortal end
 * this is hell's territory and i am beholden to no gods
 * bury me shallow, i'll be back
 * take this gift, for the gods surely won't
 * god wishes he were me
 * one day, you will be face to face with whatever saw fit to let you exist in the universe, and you will have to justify the space you've filled
 * violence for violence is the rule of beasts
 * "i beg to differ" "then beg"
 * to become god is the loneliest achievement of all
 * do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?
 * will you fight, or will you perish like a dog?
 * if it weren't for the laws of this land i would have slaughtered you
 * can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters. decay exists as an extant form of life.
 * when the weight of the world is on your shoulders, you learn

pandora
ship plans: dibbed by socialcasualty for taeler johnson other plans: arranged marriage to yorkiewolf's rufus yaxley cassius selwyn elder brother: pandora loves cassius, but not enough that she's afraid to upset him when she does things to keep him in a good place. such as scaring off that poor jan-ji girl during the summer. it put a strain on their relationship, sure, but in the end if it means he doesn't get disowned she's good. calliope selwyn elder sister: not gonna lie, pandora is a tiny bit afraid of calliope just because she's so... perfect. she's honestly what pandora aspires to become in the future, even if that seems a bit of a distant and untouchable future. carlisle selwyn elder brother: of all her siblings, pandora is by far closest to carlisle. it might be because of their similarity in age, but honestly she sees carlisle as her twin, even though they're actually months apart. he's always her partner in crime, and if one of them has a plan then you can bet the other's in on it. it's also a gift from god that carlisle is so good at information-gathering, because he's an invaluable resource in everyday life. héloise malfoy héloise is by far pandora's best friend. they have things in common, like an interest in potions, bitching about pandora's brother and héloise's fiancé, cassius, and a shared pure blood heritage. they're probably cousins in every branch of the family tree you look at. really, héloise and pandora are the epitome of the perfect pure-blood girls: best friends with another of similar status, pretty, judgemental. pandora loves it. taeler johnson taeler johnson is the worst boy pandora has ever encountered. he doesn't know how to take a hint, and presumes too much. and merlin, is he a flirt. pandora doesn't need this. she's going to be married to rufus yaxley, a pureblood, and she shouldn't be talking to mudbloods like taeler anyway. but he gave her a toy swan and he has a nice smile and he makes her want to laugh. hekate sayre hekate is terrifying - it's at times like these that pandora really questions cassius' sanity, and where the hell he's hanging around to find people like this pyromaniac. and she's a legilimens! she could reduce pandora to shreds with half a thought. pandora is still pissed that cassius just adopted her into their family without consulting anyone. park jan-ji a part of pandora feels bad about how she spoke to jan-ji over the summer, but she also knows it was necessary. keeping cassius in the family is worth more than some half-blood's feelings, after all. still, jan-ji is certainly kind and the epitome of a hufflepuff - pandora pities her for getting mixed up with one of her brothers. rufus yaxley arranged fiancé: pandora absolutely adores rufus, but honestly she doesn't want to marry him. she views him as kind of like another brother - an abrasive one, sure, but one she can get along with. he's a smidge more extreme than she is when it comes to blood status, and he does have a tendency to bulldoze through people's emotions rather than using her preferred more subtle approach, but hey. everyone has flaws. even though she'd rather not, pandora supposes she could be happy if she does marry him.

circe
plans: dibbed by socialcasualty for carlisle selwyn carlisle selwyn circe really likes carlisle so far. even though he is much too preoccupied with discovering everything about everyone else to focus on himself (in her opinion), it doesn't take a clairvoyant to see how smart he is, and how genuinely curious he is. she admires that. and he didn't treat her like she was a weirdo, which is always nice.

cassius
plans: dibbed by socialcasualty for park jan-ji other plans: arranged marriage to hannahgrace.05's héloise malfoy calliope selwyn twin sister: calliope and cassius are inseparable (except for the fact that they've gone to separate schools for the last few years). always have been, always will be. she's the only one of his siblings he truly trusts, probably because of the 'twin bond'. together, they're a force to be reckoned with: just ask their opponents when they duel. carlisle selwyn younger brother: pandora selwyn younger sister: hekate sayre héloise malfoy arranged fiancée: park jan-ji crushing:

richard
plans: queen of anarchy's cosima di sena e bonaparte prince alfred of wales elder brother: richard looks up to alfred a lot, but that's something he can never ever know. he just handles every situation effortlessly, and growing up knowing that someday you'll be king can't have been easy. sure, he needs to loosen up a little, but he's still a good sport no matter what richard does to embarrass him, and that's something worthy of respect princess sophia of windsor elder cousin: sophia is hands down richard's favourite cousin. when everyone else says no, richard, don't do that, she's encouraging him to do the stupid thing. she's maybe not the most responsible elder cousin to look up to, but honestly richard doesn't care because she's one of the only members of the family who's actually fun. princess quinn of windsor younger cousin: okay, so since quinn is the baby of the family richard naturally has a soft spot for her. merlin, he remembers when she was born, and now she's starting school and getting into arguments with her malfoy cousins. honestly, bully quinn and richard will end you. whitney du mont at this point, whitney is honestly richard's longest-lasting and closest friend. she's pretty much his entire impulse control by now, and he's beyond glad that she's the other head student, because very few people tell him when he should shut the fuck up and, if he didn't have that, the school would probably be a pile of ash by the end of his seventh year. he's well aware she has her eye set on several of his cousins, but honestly he wishes her luck. they're all too old.

Time for a quick history lesson: visualise with me. The year is sometime in the late 14th century, place: Korea. Or, as it's known at the time, Goryeo. Korea's been under the occupation of the disintegrating Mongol Empire for some years, and at war for much longer. The ruling dynasty of Goryeo is losing its credibility - the royal family keep intermarrying with the Mongol Yuan dynasty imperial family, and are genuinely poor rulers. If you were a citizen of Goryeo at this time wouldn't you agree it's time for a change? Well, that's exactly what happened. General Yi Seong-Gye had gained power and respect during the late 1370s and early 1380s by generally just being a great military mind, and in the wake of the rise of the Ming Dynasty in what is now China the court of Goryeo splits into two factions, one of which was led by General Yi and one led by a rival general. To put things simply, General Yi supported the Ming Dynasty but was chosen to lead an attack against them - he said no thanks and turned on his King, carrying out a coup d'etat that ended in the deaths of the king and his son and with Yi in control of the throne, at first through a puppet king and then with his own coronation. And that, in 1392, marked the end of Goryeo and the rise of Joseon, ruled by the newly-christened Taejo. Highest ancestor. Now fast forward a few centuries, to the late 1800s, when Emperor Gojong of Korea rules. Yi Deok-Mi is born, a daughter of Gojong and princess of Korea. With controversy surrounding her birth (rumours that she was born to a Japanese woman seemed a popular theory), Deok-Mi was hidden away from all eyes; muggle and magic alike. Although she was still styled as Princess Deok-Mi for a large portion of her childhood, as soon as she reached the age to attend Mahoutokoro, her name was promptly changed to Taejo Deok-Mi after her distant ancestor in order to avoid all connections between her and the imperial family. After choosing to live in seclusion in Seoul, Deok-Mi now serves as the link between the current Taejo Family and the royal house of Yi - enabling her descendants to have claims to royal titles. Fast forward again to Deok-Mi's six-times great granddaughter, Taejo Ha-Neul. One of the main pretenders to the magical Korean throne, Ha-Neul grew up in Seoul in the same palace that her six-times great grandmother had lived in in seclusion, and eventually attended Mahoutokoro. It is here that she met the muggle-born wizard Hwang Yoon-Chul, who wooed her. Though against Ha-Neul's wishes, he was more than happy to take on the surname of Taejo - the two reached a compromise with having their children take on her surname instead of his, rather than he himself. Ha-Neul is too fond of tradition. The couple had two children in quick succession: Mi-Kyung and [insert valentino's korean name], before Ha-Neul's career took a different direction. She joined the ministry, and embarked on a political journey with the end goal being President of Magic. Of course, she took some time out to give birth to her next three children: [insert aurora's korean name], [insert brocky's char's korean name] and finally, Mi-Yeon. Around a year later, Yoon-Chul took the children to Britain so that they could attend Hogwarts, and a year later Ha-Neul was elected as President of Magic of South Korea.
