Personaggi visualizzati: 11
#2 - Bernard Russell, The man with purpose (Character played by A. G.)
Motto: Memories are like wine decanted from the bottle: most remain clear while the turbid ones sink to the bottom. You should not shake that bottle. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Character with an active game focused on a goal to be fulfilled at any cost.
Teaser: It is a long path that leads a man to consolidate his sense of self. A journey that is made one step at a time, composed of harsh events that form a character and fix it forever. For Bernard it was indeed a long and arduous road, not an easy amble. Some philosophers suggest that various crossroads show themselves on the road, but for him there was only one path to follow, always only the one. If he pauses to contemplate the road already traveled, he cannot but notice the inevitability of the moments of his life following one another: some fleeting and happy and others that press a shadowy weight on his soul. but leaving aside the joy and happiness of the past, nothing remains but the present. The present life of dear Bernard consists of nothing more than alacrity and promptness. Promptness in responding to every ring of the servant's bell, to the call or even to the whisper of his lordship but above all to Mistress's commands. Alacrity in carrying out the smallest, most particular and subtle wish of the elegant lady who exercises the right of command over him in the manner of times gone by and according to her every whim. With a yielding and diligent yet determined spirit he gracefully endures the continuous witticisms of his lady who, with the indelicacy typical of the French, mocks him for his stern countenance. How can his patient and resolute soul desire anything other than to bow down and serve his lords and ladies, worthy and high representatives of the refined English society?
Relations: Servant of Lord George Cadogan and Madame Poisson La Ferté, with whom he has been for many years. Since arriving at the villa, he has been seen talking to Lily Fisher and sometimes helps her carry heavy loads. Elizabeth Rush took offence when he mistakenly entered the private rooms of the lady of the house. Morgan Camden was present during the angry outburst and has not missed an opportunity to mock him good-naturedly since.
#9 - Candide Artoise, The devoted valet/waitress (Character played by M. M.)
Motto: There is an innocence of admiration: it occurs in one who has not yet realized that they might one day be admired. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: An intimate character with a game based on his own feelings and inner conflicts, but this won't exclude participating in investigative plots.
Teaser: The silvery and pale visage of the moon when it is illuminated by a blazing sun, the crystal of a mirror that reflects the face of beauty: this is how Candide feels next to ''Monsieur le Marquis''. What good fortune it is that has given the progeny of a washerwoman the fate of serving Guy de Maupassant, the famous writer, the sharp traveler, the man of extraordinary charm. And fate has given an even more generous gift to Candide, granting the chance to be a humble support for the great man, a silken rope thrown to help Monsieur when a dark chasm seemed to open beneath his noble steps. The servants Candide has accepted acquaintance with delight in the impeccable freshness of conversation, the sharpness of observations and the clear, yet sensitive lucidity with which Candide observes the world. These must have been the qualities with which Candide has won the benevolent friendship of Monsieur, some say, while others more pragmatically point out that a wise and witty gentleman chooses servants who are like mirrors, certainly capable, but only in reflecting the virtues of the master. Someone once dared to suggest to Candide, that Candide could now flex their own wings and fly far from the star. But how could that be possible? That it might be better to risk seeing one's wings melt from too much heat, than to be lost in solitude in the terrible darkness, that is in the end one's own judgment to make.
Relations: Candide serves Guy de Mausapassant, whom Candide always approaches with ecstatic admiration. Candide has shown that he knows Mary Shaw, whom Candide apparently met at the thermal baths. Candide scrutinizes the movements of Hector Schmitz. Scarlett Owen shows Candide great sympathy. Candide knows Jacques Palanche with whom Candide worked in the same house for a short time a few years ago, but there is no love lost between the two. Candide often likes to hear the talk between Arjuna and Judith Price about distant lands.
#10 - Jacques Palanche, The waiter with socialist ideas (Character played by E. B.)
Motto: Each of us alone is worth nothing. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: An active character on the social front, suitable for an extroverted player who wants to give speeches, and who likes to be at the center of intrigues and machinations.
Teaser: Luggage, dishes, coats, tablecloths, candles, carriages, sheets, beverages. Every single moment in the life of your masters depends on you and those like you who toil and sweat and despair in domestic work. Is this justice? Is this equality? That the powerful of this earth cannot sew on a button or prepare a cup of tea without commanding to a servant? Waiters, washerwomen, cooks, grooms: look at yourselves! You are, in reality, the noblest and most powerful people in this world. You are the ones who move the world and make it turn, towards a destiny shaped by lords that have inherited power or stolen it, taking it from others who are not inferior, no less worthy. Well, is this equality? Is this justice? You are not just a madman, nor a dreamer: great philosophers have written of the same ideas that burn in your chest. No evening passes when you do not leaf through your Marx, finding once more the reflection of what you observe every day. But a man is useless alone, so why should you not spread the word to everyone, why not welcome everyone to join in the glorious effort and march together towards destiny? Not to destroy the masters, nor even to take their place, because you are not blinded by haughtiness or pride. Rather, it is for you to decide the direction in which to make the world move, the direction which destiny should take. You, cobblers, nurses, chimney sweeps, porters: you the strongest, you the purest, proud, free, united. Take what you deserve! You who are enslaved and divided: unite and be free. This is equality! This is justice!
Relations: He is in the service of Gaetano Osculati. A few years ago, he worked for a short time in the same house as Candide Artoise, but he does not have much esteem for that person. He discusses different topics of interest with Christopher Price. He admires the intellectual curiosity of Hector Schmidt with a certain envy, but he would like men like Schmidt to put their culture at the service of the class struggle. On the other hand, he does not need to convince Emilio Fiori who seems to be in tune with his ideas.
#14 - Leo Vaughan, The polished servant (Character played by Y. T.)
Motto: Savoir faire is the best master key that exists. Many more doors have been opened by a smile, a compliment or a perfect bow than have been opened with the sword. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Eclectic character, with many secrets, which may be his strength or his limit.
Teaser: A classy, educated and discreet servant is as rare to find as a purebred horse and, therefore, his value is also equivalent. In high society, among the people that counts, one is always looking for a valet who is more than a well-dressed peasant, someone able to move gracefully among the parlors, able to entertain the guest in conversation as well as become invisible when the situation requires it. And just like with a thoroughbred horse, whose healthy teeth, brightness of coat and constancy of step are evaluated, Leo Vaughan has been carefully examined too, first by the banker who with a keen eye enjoyed the pleasure of having made yet another good deal, and then by the usual guests of the Rubenstein house. Everyone seemed to agree that he was a fine specimen of that rare race: the servant of times gone by, so elegant, impeccable and pleasant that he is able to bring the titled and bourgeois of the new era together. Alongside his Master, he moves with silent steps past the rich golden plasterwork adorning the ballrooms; proud and attentive, he observes the beautiful world shining before his eyes, always quiet and attentive. Those eyes seem to observe everything, but show a depth that is difficult to probe and unveil; is it a secret delight that is seen in their enigmatic gaze or is it silent disapproval? Nothing seems casual in the carefully studied gestures and manners of this peculiar man. Only God knows what his path is and what lies behind his neat waistcoat
Relations: Servant of the famous banker Alphonse Raimbaud Rubenstein. Paul Torregrosa just met him, but has immediately shown admiration for him. One evening at a soiree, to which he escorted his master, he rescued the famous Charlotte Cotillard, who had fainted from a heatstroke. The house butler, Derrick Gravehound, is looking for a reason to criticize him, the Chef Jean-Pierre Guillot Savarin often asks him, where he is from and what his references are. He has been particularly kind to Christobel Gaulden, but she seems annoyed by this behaviour. He has also exchanged a few words with the Roman scion Giovan Battista Borghese when he visited his master.
#15 - Alfred Hanson, The visiting butler (Character played by M. W.)
Motto: I don't believe a man can consider himself fully content until he has done all he can to be of service to his employer. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: An intimate character, with a game based on his own feelings and inner conflicts, but without excluding involvement in plots and investigations.
Teaser: All things have a sorted and pre-established place. Alfred learned it as a child, when he understood his position in society. From that day he was known only as Hanson, because the servants are known exclusively by their surname. To his mother, a maid, he was ''the little Hanson'' to whom she taught the strict rules to follow to set the table. To his father, a butler, he was '' kind-hearted Hanson'', the one to inherit the secrets of how to attend his current master faithfully, but always with a certain remoteness. In the British army working for the general, he was ''Hanson, the tidy soldier'', because of his scrupulousness in keeping the uniform, boots and weapons clean. In the Italian family with which he worked as a butler, to the mistress he was ''Mr Hanson'' superintendent of all the household servants. For some time there, he did the job of ''serving'' with impeccable skill, a mission for which is worth sacrificing everything, until the lady of the house started to call him Alfred, and this was no longer part of the order of things. He decided to return to England and re-embrace his origins. He found employment as a butler with his former army general, for whom he is still irreplaceable as chief of the household servants. Thus, he returned to be only Mr. Hanson, as usual, sadly reminding himself that all things must have a sorted and pre-established place.
Relations: He works as a butler in Sir Charles Cowdery’s household, his former army general. Previously, he was a butler in the household of Countess Luisa Gigli Cervi de Robilant. During his service in Her Majesty's army, he got to know Captain Philip Lawrence. In Avogadro’s villa, he meets the butler Derrick Gravehound for the first time. He does not agree with him to any large degree on how to conduct the domestic activities.
#16 - Arjuna Ghalib, The exotic servant (Character played by G. A.)
Motto: I’m like a plant that grows on bare rock: the more the wind blows on me, the deeper I sink my roots. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: Other - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: A complex character who presents an active game and is involved in intrigues and mysteries. You will receive some binding guidelines from the staff.
Teaser: An exotic ornament put on display to amaze and to admire, this is Arjuna, and the smile that often passes fleetingly over the outlandish face reveals a full, and perhaps smug, awareness. An always steady, shrewd and courteous personality cannot but be considered as an ideal servant in refined English parlours, yet around this figure there remains a slight spiced aura of mystery caused by being born in a distant colony full of charm: India, with its myths and legends. If it is true that Arjuna’s delicate step does not disrupt the quiet of the house, it is certainly also true that Arjuna’s presence cannot go unnoticed nor be confused with that of the ordinary servants; so, while Arjuna advances in life, there are those who whisper that the servant is the Indian Viceroy’s watchdog, whose job it is to control the Viceroy’s turbulent scion, Lord Terence. Actually, such rumors would seem to be true, because often some whispered words or a slight wave of Arjuna’s hand calms the young man who then goes from commanding to obeying. An enigmatic and yet imperturbable figure, Arjuna stays at the side of the noble Master in order to fulfill his every desire, but also to keep in check inappropriate haughtiness and the excesses that the Master is accustomed to indulge in with lingering and extreme profligacy.
Relations: In Calcutta, while in the service of Lord Terence, he met Willliam Monck on one of his travels. Arjuna has shown prior knowledge of the name of Sir Charles Cowdery. Edmond Roncourt, that stupid arrogant Frenchman, has shown himself to despise Arjuna’s race. Judith Price often asks the servant to tell her Indian stories and legends, and Candide Artoise always manages to listen to these tales. When still in India, Arjuna met Mary Morstan.
#18 - Edmond Roncourt, The Monsignor's secretary (Character played by A. T.)
Motto: I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: This is a character with many secrets, which may be his strength or his limit.
Teaser: One day, Edmond entered the confessional of a church to cleanse his soul. When he came out, his life had changed. It is rare to see such a coldness in human eyes, as has always been in the eyes of Edmond. His eyes scrutinize the world with acute calmness, almost pondering each and every element. At some point of his existence, this ice began to be clouded by a vague and slight doubt. Very vague, very slight. It was at this point that he, not tolerating such misty uncertainty, entered that church. On leaving the sacred building, if somebody had observed him, they would have seen a new and different light in his eyes. Whatever the nature of that light was, it's hard to say. Perhaps the Almighty bestowed the grace of his forgiveness as a restorative rain. Or perhaps different, unexpected, far more human opportunities had opened up in front of Edmond that day. What is certain is that the priest, hidden in the darkness of the confessional, had found the right words to restore to fullness the never dormant vigor of a peculiar man. He carries himself with the pride of being the best in his profession - and the difficulty of having a very unusual one.
Relations: Secretary of the Bishop Monsignor Giulio Orazio Mattei, the two seem to understand each other with a glance. He seems to lose his composure only in the presence of Katrina Schneider, the maid of the German ambassador. However, it is with Christabel Goulden that he has been seen going off with. He has not hidden a slight disdain for Arjuna's exotic origins, and between the two there is a strong tension.
#20 - William Monck, The valet who was a sailor (Character played by G. G.)
Motto: You know who the good seamen are when the storm comes. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: Other - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: This is a character focused on popular beliefs and the superstition of being cursed. Suitable for proactive players and players who like to involve others in their game, without excluding involvement in mysteries and investigation plots.
Teaser: Sailors love to tell stories of sea monsters and infernal storms that the open sea can hurl at ships. They do it like professional actors on the stage of a crowded theatre. And while they describe the most intense and frightening parts, they amuse themselves by holding their breath for several moments, waiting in silence in order to increase the suspense. They widen their chests and stand up in their complacency of being surviving heroes. It's not like that for William Monck. When someone, driven by curiosity, asks for his sailing stories, he yields like a sail to the wind, and his face becomes grim like a wrecked brigantine, drifting towards the darkness of the night. He replies that the past is not important, and that the severe pains he suffers in his face and temple stole his future on ships. Then he takes his leave, stuttering a few disconnected words, maybe something about a curse, a sorcery or a hex. Some merchants at the port of Brighton tell stories about how a captain threw William Monck out of his ship, after finding him curled up and in tears in the galley. He was punching himself in the corner between his nose and upper lip and shaking so hard, that his bones cracked like the mast of a rocking vessel. A few days later that vessel sank, while William was watching the horizon from the window of a stately house where he, as a servant, began to serve.
Relations: He is the personal valet of Emmeline Pankhurst for whom he tries to be essential. His past on ships led him to meet reputable people like Gaetano Osculati with whom he talked about his profession and his latest discoveries, and like Shelley Ruthven. He was seen to go off alone with Lena Reinhart. As his lady suggested, he was visited by Leonard Warren-Hopkins because of his sudden pains in the temple. In Calcutta, when he was much younger, he met Arjuna.
#21 - Nathan Goodwill, The manipulative servant (Character played by M. M.)
Motto: Change is the only sure characteristic of true fortune Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Character with a strong will and selfish personality. Perfect for players looking to experiment with competition and greed.
Teaser: It's not easy to work for a man like Cedric Constantine Crosby. Luckily for Nathan, serving this lord and being a soldier in the past are quite similar: always stand at attention, follow whatever order comes and never make eye contact with a superior. His strong will and discipline allowed him to stay by Lord Crosby's side much longer than any other servant and apparently the Lord discreetly appreciates his company and the capability to gather information from others' servants. Thanks to the secrets and the rumours Nathan heard from some chatty attendants after a drink or seducing a rosy dreamy maid, Lord Crosby could arrange many lucrative deals. Like an avid gambler, Nathan loves to bluff on the gaming table of life while always keeping some secrets for himself. Even the Lord doesn't know everything about him and his double life as a soldier and an attendant: secrets are the best cards to play whether to get a better treatment or to advance his own ambitions.
Relations: He accompanies Lord Cedric Constantine Crosby. While he was serving in the Queen's Army he had the honour to meet Captain Philip Laurence. He is sure to have seen Morgan Camden somewhere but he can't remember when. Some say the servant Lena Reinhart has been seen spending time alone with him. He enjoys Abigail Kelly's helplessness.
#24 - Marco Sartori, The young vallet (Character played by S. v.)
Motto: The truth is not unreachable. It's like a drop that reflects the entire universe, though some can see only the drop. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: Italian - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Young - 36 years or less - Advices: Intimate and shy character, he has a special bond with his Lordship. A dramatic man holding great surprises. - HARDCORE - whoever chooses this character must be open to playing intense and special scenes, which for some may be unpleasant or embarrassing.
Teaser: A shadow in the room and nothing more, that's what Marco is. A shadow lurking behind his Lord - the most capable, cunning diplomat ever born on the Piedmont soil. Marco has always been there, a trustworthy and impassive witness to the pages of the story turning before his eyes. He never knew what twist of fate led such a feared and esteemed statesman to hire a poor hopeless orphan. The kid later followed each step, each word, each gaze of his Lord, confident that such a deep trust must some day become mutual. Turbulent years passed by for Costantino Nigra but never in a quiet home, neither for the servant nor the master: two like minds sharing secrets and maybe even a piece of their souls. Can a man living in the shadows, a man without a past, be called for that type of life? Marco remembers well how he would read of knights and dragons in the sleepless nights of his teenage years, dreaming of being a noble knight in shining armour riding a white steed towards the happy ending where the grateful princess always had his mother's face. Everyone can dream but memories are something different. Her memories are as elusive as the sand in an hourglass. ''Can a man whose life is a nameless shadow, still be called a man?''
Relations: He is Costantino Nigra's valet. Tracy Conner is a recent acquaintance but they curiously became friends. Marco spent the last few days avoiding Liy Fisher's attentions. During some travels he'd already met Katrina Schneider and the German ambassador she works for. Katrina and the bold Scarlett Owen make him feel uncomfortable.
#26 - Morgan Camden, Personal servant (Character played by M. C.)
Motto: People become rich in two ways: by birth or through guile and determination. I wasn't born comfortable. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Outgoing and comunicative character, they must face doubts and compromises to respect pacts and promises.
Teaser: Morgan's discretion, taste and dexterity are the envy of many friends of the Countess Gigli Cervi de Robilant. They are always asking her where she could find such a marvellous servant. Camden's graceful movements are a pleasure for the eyes. Rinsing clothes is like an elegant dance and setting the table looks like a fine ballet. Morgan doesn't lack for good taste. Those sharp eyes always spot the finest china, the prestigious accoutrements and the most sophisticated jewelry. The Countess loves asking for advice about an important accessory for a meeting with special guests. Morgan can always suggest the right necklace or find that set of crystal goblets that will astonish everyone. When the Countess is alone, Morgan entertains her with enthralling card games or interesting stories about past travels. Attenton to detail and good memory are no less important than elegance. Morgan remembers the right place for everything and knows the Gigli Cervi mansion inventory by heart. Despite arriving only a few days ago, the Scarborough villa is as familar as home. Other visiting servants often ask for directions. The Countess's friends (if there can be any real friends in high society) are glad she's found such a capable person to support her after the husband's death. Her rivals secretly hope that so many good qualities will ultimately prove to hide a dark core.
Relations: Morgan serves the Countess Luisa Gigli Cervi de Robiland. In the past few days Morgan has found and returned a jewel to Lady Violet Scarborough that she misplaced some time ago, earning her gratitude. Nathan Goodwill is sure they met somewhere in the past but it's not true and he is starting to get annoying. Morgan often helped Katrina Schneider when moving through the house. Having a taste for beauty, Morgan keeps an eye on the art of Pau Torregrosa. Morgan often ironically says that if someone wants to be sneaky he should be good at it after catching Bernard Russel in the Countess's rooms,
