#39 - Lord / Lady Ashley Wetmore, The debutant heir(ess) (Character played by N. B.)
Motto: There is nothing more dangerous than a cat pretending to be a mouse Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: High Society - Nationality: British - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: A character with many secrets, strong ambitions and personal goals versed in building relationships. Good for an active and outgoing player.
Teaser: Every person must debut in proper society before living in magnificence. The pictures on the walls of the gilded home always bore witness to this unwritten rule. Ashley has been planning the Debut since a tender age. Other children played with dolls and swords but Ashley's favourite game was to stage the Cotillion: sneaking into the adults' room to wear their big clothes and make pompous conversation with the mirror's reflection, then carefully cleaning up every trace of the game like an assassin removing clues. The desire to count in this world beats in the heart of the ambitious. In Ashley's heart this desire became like an altar to a pagan deity where you could adore passionately and praise with sacrifices. This obsession grew year by year like an invisible hand catching every good opportunity. But isolation from daily life is finally over now: that hand is holding Lord Scarborough's invitation to the ultimate party. The day has come. Those adult clothes will finally fit perfectly, splendid as the day is long despite that tiny blood stain on the neck - a little misfortune from traveling without a faithful servant.
Relations: Ashley's family is in business with Lord Gordon Asherton. During childhood Ashley would play with Joseph Emmanuel Wedder but he has not been seen since. Ashley admired Mary Shaw at the theater and wants to meet her. There has been correspondence with Christopher Pierce about sociology and with Shelley Ruthven about arts.
#47 - Shelley Ruthven, The decadent dandy (Character played by D. R.)
Motto: Death and profanity are the only things the XIX century failed explain Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: Artists and intellectuals - Nationality: Other - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: A very charismatic character, will have to be able to manage attentions of all kinds and be at ease with strong themes, romantic developments and sentimental attention from both sexes. You will receive some guidelines from the staff.
Teaser: These young dandies who infest the streets of London take such pains to look original and unique but in essence they are nothing more than a mask worn by a mediocre actor. One does not concern oneself with about appearing, one simply is. One does not intend to make one's life a work of art, it is art that yearns to be inspired by one's life. One makes no effort to seduce, it is others who flock foroward, not as senseless moths attracted by the flame but by the ambiguous mystery that permits a gradual reveal, a morsel at a time.
The true hunter is the one who prowls in the shadows. The one who appears coy and elusive becomes the object of the most uncontrollable desire. Your outlandish excesses and eccentric ways are not cloying deceptiveness. The parasols with which you walk around the city, the dark glasses constantly worn, your clothes impeccable but eclectic and démodé, as if careless of fleeting fashions but live in a chronology all your own: all this turns you into the unwilling primary subject of discussion in society which admires you in whispers, dazzled by your charm but irreverent to your back. You are dazed by an almost obsessive reserve, yet there are invitation cards for every party, every parlour. You do not need to ask: there is always someone to offer you his favour. Everyone wants a teste of that mysterious nectar that you emanate with your mere presence. There is no subject that exceeds your experience. You talk of literature and fashion, of news and art, of history and fantasy. It is no coincidence that writers compete to have you for dinner and converse with you and painters to be inspired by your charm. Secretly you presume to believe that no mortal hand could capture and portray your true self.
Relations: You crossed paths with Arthur Edward Waite at the British Museum and, after an impulsive invitation to take a tea together, a spontaneous friendship was born. During your travels at sea you met William Monck toward whom you felt curiosity and sympathy. Mary Morstan is a dear friend of yours. You had a correspondence with Ashley Wetmore.
#51 - Dominique Lemaire, The artist who lost his muse (Character played by J. J.)
Motto: All works of art do not know their worthwhile they are created Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: Artists and intellectuals - Nationality: French - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: An intimate character very focused on its personal drama through which Dominique filters everything that happens around him. He is however involved in action plots. Dominique's aim is to solve his personal problems rather than the rest of the world's. Almost certainly will be assigned to an artist in both replicas.
Teaser: In the fast and cruel carousel of success, Dominique had a moment of fame and was an internationally renowned artist; French by birth and pride Lemaire always aspired to incarnate all the virtues of purity a true art lover must possess. It is said that in the past Dominique was a pupil under several painters, and within fine parlors in Paris they gossip about Lemaire's getaway to Aix en Provence, at an eccentric artist's, who claimed to be Lemaire's Master. But Dominique's first real teacher was Mother, a rich bourgeois woman from Paris who glimpsed her child's talent and nurtured it with classical studies, daydreaming about having given birth to a new Eugène Delacroix. A capricious and demanding muse led Dominique down a very different path, embracing a total break with the past, where the figurative faded to leave the painter free to express an inner world. Eventually the artist began to attend impressionist salons. Art is pureness of spirit, and in order to remain its herald one must be pure of heart, otherwise art itself is going to disdain you and desert you. Dominique Lemaire was caught by this misfortune. The canvas suddenly appeared pale and dull, the vivid hues of the past discolored, light itself as if shrouded by clouds. Could the talented artist who had been a proud and original mirror of truth really have vanished into nothingness?
Relations: The artist recently met Lord Gordon Asherton who introduced Lemaire into the Masonic circles. Doominique does not hide a dislike towards Pau Torregrosa. Was once a regular guest at Miriam Alexandrine de Rotshild but lately they say Lemaire prefers the company of Madame Poisson La Ferté. In European cultural clubs and in Madame's parlor, rumor has it that Joseph Emmanuel Wedder does not wish to come across the artist's person, not even by chance.
#64 - Pau Torregrosa, The wandering artist (Character played by D. H.)
Motto: Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as plain as doves. Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: Artists and intellectuals - Nationality: Other - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Suitable for players who love being astounded by their own character. The artist has a game mainly based on investigation and research.
Teaser: When Pau, modest countenance and shabby appearance, approached Scarborough House's door asking for the possibility to liven up the master's parties in return for a bed and some food, there was a certain embarrassment among the servants of Villa Agogadro. But when the artist requested and obtained permission to show a brief display of his art, those present were left breathless, such were the beauty and harmony that ensued. Young Lord Henry was ecstatic, and hospitality was granted.
Born in Catalonia, Pau self identifies with a vague smile as a ''traveling artist'': Pau goes from town to town asking for asylum in noble residences, where the artist entertains guests at receptions and social occasions. In this odd way, Pau travelled through Spain, France and has now been in Italy for the past few weeks. Nevertheless Pau recounts little about these trips and self alike; Pau looks around both with curiosity and modesty, big childlike eyes open wide and leaving superb art to speak for itself. It strikes the shrewd eye of lords and servants, accustomed to the world of high society and to intemperance of eclectic and original artists as they are, how rare it is to maintain a humble attitude like Pau's, an innocence even, which by itself is as sought after as rare talents.
Relations: Lord Henry Scarborough-Talbot loves Pau's art. On the other hand, Dominique Lemaire does not hide a certain disdain. Pau showed a spontaneous fondness for Leo Vaughan. Volker Beckmann keeps repeating that it would have been better not to house Pau, while Giovanni De Simone defends the artist. Morgan Camden discreetly showed her admiration. In the past, the artist performed in front of Giovan Battista Borghese.
