Arranged

Arranged Marriage



Marriage for love is a such a modern concept. In the past, marriage was
recognised as a social contract. Unions were entered into for many
reasons: to obtain property, to unite families, to carry on a bloodline,
et cetera. Whatever the reason, congratulations, you're getting married!


How to Play:
Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences.
Be sure to mention any scenarios you are interested or not interested in playing.
Tag Others.
Be awesome to each other.
Have fun!



POSSIBLE REASONS:
STATION: You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
FEUD: You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
ECONOMICS: Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
EMPIRE: You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
TRIBUTE: You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
BLOODLINE: Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
DISAPPROVAL: Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.



POSSIBLE SCENARIOS
FIRST MEETING: This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
COURTSHIP: To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
ENGAGEMENT PARTY: Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
WEDDING DAY: The big day!
RECEPTION: The big party!
WEDDING NIGHT: Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
HONEYMOON: Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

[Open to smut. Just let me know if you are too. Although choosing Wedding Night/Honeymoon probably would say it all..

The eldest son of a high-ranking Japanese family in the 1800's that doesn't agree with being set up, but understands the reason for it.

He is kind, warm, understanding, and basically every positive word you can drum up. Even if he has a knee-jerk reaction, he's fine with admitting when he's wrong, especially when seeing things with his own eyes. Is honest and doesn't mind voicing his opinion. Doesn't argue really, instead accepting differences of opinion as exactly that and understanding that no two people think exactly alike. Arguing is seen as a waste of energy and unnecessary. Compromise can be easily reached so long as both sides try to be objective and not biased towards themselves--including himself.

Character types that would get along the best are: Mitsuri Kanroji, Tifa Lockhart, Aqua (Kingdom Hearts). Basically characters capable of eventually loving and respecting someone that treats them the same.

[Margrave Edmund had never wasted breath on being clear that he intended to arrange her marriage to the best family he could for the advantage of their lands - that tune had changed once she was being hailed as some hometown hero (a concerning thought in it's own right) - but in the last few months of uneasy peace, the comments had started again. And Marianne had accepted that a match would be in the offing soon.

She had busied herself with her work with the local farmers and stables, sharing any and all advantages that she could and learning to engage with the local population. Spending time with Dorte and riding out in the hills of their property.

When her adoptive father called for her, Marianne knew what it was likely to be about and even she had to admit; it was a good match. The Edmunds were a family on the rise. The Gloucesters were extremely established and powerful. In a political sense it was a clever move for them to consolidate their territory and power. The unusual part of this was the agreement from both arranging parties to a courtship period. Lorenz and Marianne had both proven themselves during the unrest and fought by each other's side so it wasn't that they didn't know each other well enough.

At the Margrave's request, Marianne sent an invitation by rider for Lorenz to visit at his leisure to the Edmund estate.]
