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?

[Second son in a noble family where arranged marriages are commonplace. Wouldn't be thrilled to be married off but probably wouldn't go against his family.

Prefer m/f arrangements for realism's sake, but I'd also be down for playing m/m where the impending marriage is a source of angst (or where he's having a fling with someone as a "get it all out of his system before the big day" kind of thing).]

( the emperor, so all reasons for an arranged marriage. he's often considered mad for his outbursts/impulsive actions that often lead to self-harm, so it'd be interesting if the other party was wary of him or taunted him about that (in case you want for the marriage to start with a hatefubeeeep) )

augusta hedegaard — original — ota

[svingplov]

[ info. oldest daughter of a wealthy landowner looking to secure his family a connection to the nobility, so he marries augusta off to a baron or a count or something similar. historical settings preferred, though i can place her in any era between 1700 and 1920's. open to all scenarios except for smutty ones. ]

[beto]

( heir of a recently-deceased billionaire tyrant mogul. m/f leaning for more conventional marriage arrangements, m/m leaning for forced political and business arrangements that essentially function as a marriage. open to any gender or non-gender for either option, though. happy to have him trying to dabble in an affair before a marriage too. )

[ you'll be marrying into royalty since she's a princess/queen, but you get loki as your father-in-law and you'll definitely get roped into a war. ]
