LFG Potential Idea: Arranged Marriage

[Kitter Bitters]

So for a while now I have been wanting to expand my main characters story. Katarine Ryiah [Bio here]

I have recently been re-working some of my characters backstory to give the family ties to Naboo and Hapan nobility. The family was frozen for half a century so their bloodline was thought extinct but I am getting ready to re-introduce them to the noble society.

Currently they would be at a huge disadvantage. Having been frozen for half a century they may not have many assets and wouldn’t be big players in the political arena. I think it would be smart for them to start trying to make connections to other members of noble families or prominent families.

So I am toying with the idea of an arranged marriage. I’m not 100% sure yet because love interests ALWAYS vanish on this character but this is one avenue I am considering.

So for now I wanted to just see if this type of story sparks any interest, and see if there is anybody I might gel with. Again it’s not set in stone. I’m just doing a little brainstorming here.

I would be interested.

Kale isn't Royalty in a larger sense, but he is/will be the leader of the Paladins on his home planet. I think having this "Down to earth." kind of character be put into a political realm would be interesting to see.

 

[Kitter Bitters]

hmm that might work though I'm not sure what the benefit to the family would be? Usually arranged marriages are to gain status or make alliances of some sort.

The Planet of Weik has no real infrastructure of a government. Just feudal City-states. So him being part of the paladins, the people who police the planet, would be an opening for the Hapan and Naboo Governments to have a say in what goes on. Becoming a Colony of one, or the planet being split between the two factions. With Kale being the "proxy leader/Representative"

 

[Vizion Trozky]

Connections?

Viz is of the Brentaalan House Trozky, and has ties to Naboo due to growing up there for his first eight years, his mother's longstanding friendship with the Duchess Alora Ee'everwest, his own friendship with Alora's niece Briana, and his father's long connection to Briana's late father - they went to university together.

If you didn't end up becoming acquainted with Vizion, I would be most surprised!

Well the family has been frozen for half a century and they were awakened by the cataclysm on Naboo (3 IC years ago). Kat is only going to recently figure out they are distant nobility so the idea is to start getting into the scene. so they may not know people now... but I want them to start meeting people if that make sense? I thought this might be one idea for the family to start making ties to other noble families and get caught up more with current players in the arena.

 

[Vizion Trozky]

Kitter Bitters of course! I always need to have Viz meet people outside of his traditional friend group!

I'd be up for meeting new people of course! Are you interested in the arrangement idea or just a thread? Kat is a Jedi investigator too so they could investigate something!

 

[Vizion Trozky]

I don't think Viz's parents would push that, despite them initially being an arrangement, themselves. Of course, that's not to say they wouldn't have a considerable interest in who their children end up with.

Viz simply has more freedom because he's the second eldest son, and because of being a Jedi. It's his older brother, the heir, that has to think more about who becomes his wife!

That makes sense! Kat has a lot of freedom too. I was just thinking this might be one way to help the family since I imagine after half a century of hibernation they won’t have many assets and might be out of things. But her twin did marry a duchess in the Hapans so that could be what ends up helping them if this idea doesn’t pan out.
