Oh hai hai!

I have Isabel Leigh, who's Charles' sister-in-law (half-sister to Catherine, they share the same mother), and the previous Charles had been dallying with other women while married to Catherine, and Isabel found out from Catherine. I'm not sure if you plan on carrying this on or seeking to rectify it, but if you're going to preserve that he's had some extra-marital relations, I'd like a thread with him and Isabel -- Isabel confronting him and whatnot. :)

And I also have John Dudley, Earl of Warwick, who likes to hunt and was recently in the war with France. So they could hang out and do a manly thread schtuff if you'd like. :) Or something.

Hey, ho, welcome.

I have the Duke of Norfolk, sinister, amoral, cunning, misogynistic, discriminative, haughty and proud. Norfolk's niece Catherine is Charles' wife. Norfolk wants to build on that and strike an alliance with the newest duke, but he has quite a bad reputation and wouldn't give Brandon a minute of his time if Charles wasn't of equal rank and such friend to the king. With a barrage ready to come on Norfolk from all sides, he wants to make sure Brandon won't join the horde of his enemies - though his wife might be doing just that soon.

So let me know if you want some threadage.

Oh hai!

Welcome to FKAC, and I hope you enjoy yourself here.

Of course, at the top of list is Charles' wife, Catherine. Her uncle, the Duke of Norfolk, helped to arrange the marriage, along with the king of England (she was the king's mistress for a time). The dynamic between Charles and Catherine in the past was that he cared for her, yes, but he wasn't in love with her and carried on his affairs. She was, and still is, most definitely, in love with him, but she's pretty much had to keep it to herself. I don't know what dynamic you're wanting to take in terms of their relationship, but we definitely need to talk that out. PM me or if you have AIM, mine is acquavite1982.

Now, I have four others.

Edward Seymour is the patriarch of the Seymour family, and top enemy of the Duke of Norfolk. He is going to try and get as many as he can to join his side, being as he's a bit of a rising star himself. If you want to go in that direction, Edward has a thread going where he's trying to rally people to his cause. :)

I also have Thomas Wolsey and Thomas More. Wolsey has been kind to Brandon, seeing as they both kinda come from common backgrounds, and would still see fit to help Charles in any way he possibly can.

I don't know what to do with Thomas More, or my other lady, Lettice.

But there we go! :D

Okay so I will reply to everyone in this post since some things are rather inter-related and it'll help me get my bearings. I definitely don't want to bun any of the bridges the previous Charles created, I am sure I will play him differently but that can come with time as more of the plot develops so here goes:

Isabel: I think for now, since Charles is relatively "young" I will continue on with the extra marital relations that Charles had been having. I feel like as time goes on he and Catherines relationship will steady out as they both get older (assuming they stay together). So I would definitely enjoy a thread with Isabel confronting him about it. If you would like to start it please by all means go ahead, I feel it will be easier for me to get involved in some of the plot if I read a post towards Charles and see where to take it from there if you understand my meaning.

John: They definitely would have the manly stuff in common and we could definitely get a thread started up with that with multiple characters if we wanted too. Maybe a manly hunting thread with a bunch of the other manly-men of FKAC haha.

Thomas Howard: I would definitely enjoy some threadage with Norfolk, I will have to look into some of the plot about Norfolk and his enemies to see which side Charles will be leaning, I am not sure what role Henry or Wosley would play in that or what their feelings are as I think those two would obviously affect Suffolk's opinion as well. But if we wanted to get a thread together I would definitely be for it just to form my own opinion on it and start the basis for some sort of relationship as I am sure they will have many interactions.

Catherine Brandon:I will PM you as I don't want to take a full screen up with plotting here haha.

Edward: Similar to what I said with Norfolk, I would love to RP it out and see where Charles stands after that so I can get him involved more into it and see where to take it from there. But definitely would enjoy having a thread start up!

Wosley: I definitely can see a mutually beneficial relationship between the two, I am not sure what we could immediately plot out but I would plan on RP'ing with Wosley plenty as they are both close to Henry.

More and Lettice: Something to look into depending upon how everything pans out but we can obviously talk and has that out more as plot goes on!

Just wanted to say I am very excited to get writing with you all, I don't mean to put off the effort of starting threads either. I would just feel better to start by writing off of what those of you that have been here longer and already plotted with the former Charles think and feel.

Thanks!

I was married to you in real life! Yeah! But I'm not your 13 year old wife here, so. ;)

I of course have King Henry. We need a thread with these two pronto! Perhaps riding, archery, something along those lines--manly men stuff!

Hello Mike!

I would just like to take a moment and introduce myself, and welcome you to FKaC. Everyone here is very happy that the board has Suffolk back, including one of my characters. ;) Welcome, welcome.

Well, my name is Lina and I have two characters here, Anne Chamerlyn, nee Parr, and Margaret Courtenay. I believe that you were already talking to Shelbs concerning her and Arthur. I'm not quite sure how you want to progress with this. Anne and Charles were very good friends when Anne first arrived at Court. Anne was also one of Charles' trusted confidants and one of the women he actually chose not to use his devilish charms upon. ;)

In either case, I would love to have some interaction between them again. I heard something was discussed about him, Anne, Catherine, and Arthur being in a thread?

I also have MagsC. Mags is a cousin of Henry VIII, has some awesome connections to the crown, but is a bit of a troublemaker. She is ambitious, enjoys playing whatever game Court enjoys throwing in her direction, including being flirtatious, but is a bit naive. She can also be manipulative, so be forewarned. She remained quite sheltered as a young girl so she is still working out the kinks in her personality. However, she will develop a latent form of tuberculosis in the coming month and become very susceptible to illness because of it.

She adores Henry and would probably be very aware of Suffolk's presence because of the relationship he shares with the king. So, I can see her knowing him because of that.

If you want to plot, we definitely can. You can also reach me on AIM. The name is velvetboxeslina.

<3 Lina

Anne: In short, definitely interested in a plot, I think we decided Charles would visit Anne and Arthur as they would talk about Suffolk being a godfather to their son so that would be the thread you were speaking of. I would love to keep the former relationship as well where they were good friends.

Mags: I could definitely see them interacting considering their close proximity to the king. Lets talk more about this and figure out what direction we should take it.

I have William Compton who was also raised with charles and henry! So we should all totally thread...I am excited for a Brandon.

I also have several others,but I mostly think Brandon would be interested in Wills (william spencer) and arthur lambert (who we call TBC lol).
Wills is 23 and the Earl of Wilmington, he is aligned with wolsey and also with seymour against norfolk. he recently distinguished himself in the war. He is friends with charles' wife and gave them one of his prized spencer horses for her, which was a high compliment as no one else at court has one save the king. He is a fun guy, popular with the ladies, and when his maternal grandfather dies will inherit the dukedom of Nemours and a butt-ton of money...not many people know that about him but the king and wolsey do so it is possible brandon would.

arthur is wolseys totally secret bastard and a very charming n sporting knight...He is a gentleman of his majesty, a privy councilor and frequently plays at sport with rexy(cards, hunting, etc), so he and brandon would likely be friends.

let me know what u think!

William: Most definitely excited to thread with William, also as I am trying to get Charles into the whole Norfolk situation as well there again is potential for him to side against Norfolk since so many within his circles already are. We definitely need to get a thread together, I was hoping to thread with Norfolk to "get his side" of things but then I definitely think William would be the one to rally Charles against him.

Arthur Lambert: They would definitely be friends as they both enjoy sport and him having the secret tie to Wosley is even better. I feel like Charles ties to Wosley are strong too so there is definitely some interesting plot to develop there between the three of them!

Love it all and would love to thread some of these ideas out! Please feel free to PM me with further thoughts on what to do.

That is two different Williams LOL. Sorry if I confused you! Compton is bffs with rexy too and raised with charles. Then Spencer is the one who I described in detail.

But I think yes to it all is a good idea anyhoo lol bc what u said applies to both williams really. If lanie doesnt mind william compton tagging along for a rexy thread we can do those guys together?

We can start a thread for charles and william spencer (known as wills) and/or for charles and arthur if you like. Should be fun! I will Pm u when i am home or hit me on aim: williamhspencer

Haha sorry about that, I am glad you understood the mashup reply still anyway. I would definitely enjoy a Rexy, Charles and Compton thread.

As for Wills, I would definitely like to get a thread started, especially with him distinguishing himself in war I think Charles would find that very respectable and it would factor greatly into his opinions on how he feels about the Norfolk issue.

I think I would like to have some interaction with Wosley first before threading with Arthur but I would definitely like to dedicate some time to that relationship as well in the future!
