Do you have a wealthy, powerful, important character? Do you have a character that desperately wants to become more of all of those things, or fits at least one of if not all the categories? Are they willing to behave themselves in terms of physical fights and destruction, and only be antagonistic in the subtle game and long term manipulation area? Are you a fan of that kind of theme?

Then they just might get an invite to join the private, high society social events put on by none other than Alva Crowther. As a direct quote from her character profile:

Even if they haven't personally met her or been to one of her events, people on island and further should be at least vaguely aware of Alva's existence and reputation, and the fact that she'd the current head of the Crowther family. Old magic, old money, plenty of connections, and not stopping any time soon.

While her son Clarence puts on the big, showy, raging parties, she puts together smaller more personal and respectable things. High society get togethers/business opportunities, in a nice, neutral enough setting. Alva makes it her business to meet new friends and partners whenever possible, and puts on these intimate events regularly- around two times a month or more.

If you're willing to behave yourself, be intelligent and willing to make things happen or at least be friendly, and you'll respect your hosts, and you're important/wealthy/etc, then you'll probably be welcome there. Pleasant company, and networking. Those that have children, family, or relevant business partners are also welcome to bring them along- if they can behave/be trusted. Especially seeing Alva's son is always involved/advertises for her when he can.

If anyone shows too many signs of violence, attempts to steal from the Crowthers, or generally impolite and antagonistic behaviour, there will be no hesitation to kick them out. The Crowther mansion is a no danger, neutral zone for get togethers, and will be staying that way if Alva has anything to say about it. Those that throw tantrums will not be tolerated, or taken seriously.


Characters can either be assumed to have contacted her first, or to have received an invitation to these events. Comment here with the details/rumors around/etc about the characters you'd like to have included (plus anyone they'd bring along as dates, business partners, or families that would behave themselves or be involved) in these periodic threads, and subscribe to this plotter for further updates/links to the actual rps~ hope to hear from you soon~

Kenshin and Katsuo are both rich kids who would be eligible B)

Kenshin's family in particular have connections with Japan's royal family being Kirin.

Katsuo's family are a bunch of ninjas but I don't know how much of that would circulate in rumours and such. They are known to have gotten rich by working hard and smart though.

Depending on how long the parties have been going on, the Paltiel's family invitation might have started with Ignatius's father, or even his grandfather. They're old money, having been on the island for several generations, and plenty of the small businesses that litter the island got their original funding from Ignatius's family.

I imagine he's been attending for a while, because small business networking event is right up his alley.

Absolutely! Go right ahead and assume the families are already familiar with each other- that'd be more than accurate to expect. Although Alva puts her personal touch and pride into her little events, the Crowthers have been putting on things and playing the game for generations. Although new allies are welcome for the rps, more familiar faces are just as enjoyed.

Mikhainon and Marco will be in attendance. Neither of them are really 'old money', but their money, establishments and general influence have surprised a lot of people since their arrival (Marco even scared Ignatius COUGHCOUGH). They're powerful allies to have.

So I have Aloysius Paltiel. Kinda goes without saying, but he's a relative of Ignatius. And he's probably turned up at these events a few times so yeah.

My character Blanche Grace, once given approval, would be interested in attending these events, as should be said of him; a member of the local Wealthy Family, that owns a monolithic mega-corporate even outside of the scope of the islands. Their influence spanning almost across the entire globe, within their reach. He is the adopted son of said family, and he will one day inherit the Tycoon's business.

Wesker is definitely the type of person that would be at a thing like this, being a rich kid himself. He's a curious little thing and has probably been idly sniffing around the Crowthers for a little bit now. So maybe either he gets an invitation as something of a jibe for his snooping, or he just goes through the proper channals, he's not above asking.
