>The Moonlight Tree
(Male/Female)
(Any house except Goguryeo, Anyone)
Sneaking at the knights in the middle of the night, that was your daily routine during the weekends. Finding the tree with a bear carved out by yours truly, you sat and gazed at the stars. It was your escape from the burdensome duties you were born with. A silent comfort at night.
Seulgi was about to leave, when she heard rustling of bushes not far from her place, she silently took out her dagger and pointed at the direction of the sound, only to see a hooded person looking at her. She can’t seem to see the face of the person due to the moonlight only being the source of light. Eventually you both knew each other, but from different houses. Both of you meet up at the peak of midnight silently watching the stars and moon, talking about anything besides your daily lives. The tree now carved with both of you and the person’s favorite animal. Symbolizing a new found relationship.

♥ Another Life
- Any gender, any age
- Any house, preferably staff or a royal of another family.
- You both met for the first time when Chaeyoung was helping run her parent's bakery business. You knew better than to let those warm brown eyes draw you in. You met again when she was preparing to become an advisor. The connection between you was instant. Dangerous. Illegal. Together you were like moths to a flame moments away from burning up. It could never happen in this lifetime but as you both meet eyes at diplomatic gatherings, you both silently wish it could.

⸙ an acquaintance of youth
status:open
• any house except gaya; can be both royals or staff
• almost or the same age as Seokwoo / Alexei
• any gender
• when alexei / seokwoo arrived in gaya, you were a kid who was obviously fascinated with how he handled the guards who wanted to throw the young boy and his mother out. you watched in awe when he knocked the captain in one advance and from then on you had to make yourself acquainted. especially because he was about to be taken in by the snakes. you might have also, at some point became infatuated with him because he emits this trustworthy aura specially when he grew up and you sometimes think he doesn’t belong to where he is. he trusts you just as much as you do and both of you share information that would not tarnish both clan’s reputation. both of you like your relationship and the different clans didn't hinder your affection towards him.

# data[].attributes.body
╳　guardian.
» any gender, 23+.
» goguryeo staff.
» despite his cold, apathetic persona, you still think of giwook as a child, and have the tendency to treat him as if he's much, much younger than you (he is, but he'll glare at you if you mention it). however, he's thankful for your presence, because around you, he doesn't feel like he's knocking at death's door any given moment. he doesn't feel like the disappointment of a prince that he is. around you, he feels like a normal teenager. he'd never admit it, but he cares for you a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
╳　rivals, sort of.
» any gender, 18-21 (around giwook's age).
» any house but goguryeo, royals.
» needs to be elaborated on in pms!
» something about giwook irritates you — you're not sure if it's his "holier-than-thou" attitude, or just his being a goguryeo — he annoys you, and the fact that you can't openly antagonize him due to the nature of his condition irritates you even more. still, the two of you have to be civil around one another, and giwook can sense your hatred towards him. if anything, it only propels him to be even more pretentious and apathetic than he already is, just to make you hate him even more.

⸙ broken bond
status: open
• any house except gaya
• staff (most preferably a knight)
• during your childhood, you and seokwoo / alexei had a secret bond as comrades despite the different clans you are in. both of you would quarrel over trivial things too often and that would sometimes result to a small brawl. Thing is, you never saw seokwoo as a comrade, nor a friend. You felt that you were inferior and that led to you being distant, treating him as an enemy. seokwoo thought otherwise and liked your relationship but he realized your distant approach and sudden cold shoulders specially when the clans have issues. Your visions would clash and that resulted to you attempting to at least wound / injure seokwoo so bad, after revealing your true feelings against him.

[open:: 0/1] witch.
(baekje; male/female ; age: 23 and up)
you and jisoo go way back: he would climb, run, jump at your command, just to get your attention and affection, even for a fleeting moment. he has always been touching down to you ever since. he considers you someone he can trust because surely, he has shared some secrets you have been careful with, but this doesn't mean he should trust you. you have won his trust a long time ago and anyone bad mouthing you is as good as dead to him. some rare -read baekje- exceptions can exist of course. jisoo is under your spell.
a knight is far from defenseless but what is the value of strength when challenged by your schemes, looks and grip on a mind. you are a 3d threat from a perspective, but jisoo does not see you from it. you are a point in time, space and reason he can fall back to whenever he needs someone to hear him out. where you operate, morality does not apply. jisoo can question you to a point but if you raise your voice, or use your charms, he will do your biddings first. he will always do your bidding, serve you on a silver platter the head you ask for and only inquire on it later. he is your loyal soldier, in the dark, whether used to his full potential or not.

ever since seokmin took in hanbyeol as his son, things started to bright up in both parties. for the father, he found another reason to live after the heavy loss of his best friend - a little ball of sunshine that he could take care and love unconditionally. for the son, he finally found someone he could rely on as a family, and live in a place where it is safe enough to be called home. but one day, you appeared and claimed that hanbyeol is your biological son, from information you claimed from the orphanage. shocked by the sudden change and unwilling to let go, seokmin was not going to return hanbyeol, and swore his life to protect him when you were the one who left him alone in the first place.

╳ a proud one.
» any gender, must be younger than dongwook (36).
» preferably baekje, non royals only.
» long story short, dongwook is your eldest brother. he's always kept an eye out for you and your siblings, but with all the occurrences happening in aerok, you can't help but be worried for him. is he taking care of himself, or is he putting the wellbeing of others over his own once more?
» if your background doesn't fit, dongwook's is kinda simple so we can tweak his! half siblings and relatives and such would also be fine with me!

♜ happily never after
⇨ preferably around jihoon's age
⇨ no gender preference
⇨ no house/rank preference ; preferably someone who works/worked in a music-related field (further discussions will be required otherwise)
⇨ loads of drama and angst ; best friends to enemies (or maybe even more) ; this connection plays a large part in jihoon's background and his current personality so please keep that in mind before claiming it ; note that a redemption arc is highly unlikely as well!
⇨ most people would know lee jihoon as a coldhearted advisor of the house of gaya, incapable of feeling love and remorse among many other emotions. however, you know that's not the case — that /wasn't/ the case — because your relationship with him dates way before he even considered a career in politics. you were the only person he ever truly cared for, and he trusted you with all his secrets, including his double life. you were also the only one who has seen him at his most vulnerable state, but a certain incident forced you to drift apart. while it has certainly taken a hit on you, it was obvious that it affected jihoon the most, causing him to give up on his dream for the sake of his sanity — and to sever his ties with you as well. you are the reason why he decided to suppress his emotions and push people away as a self-defense mechanism, and just when he thought that he was content with it, you walked into his life again, thus forcing him to face the demons of his past.

first loves are meant to be the sweetest, right? Just like the ripest of strawberries on your tongue, that is what it felt like to be together. You’re everything he is not; bold, loud and a wildfire but how long will it take for the fire to be all too consuming? Enough to burn the cigarettes he once smoked and quit the moment everything went up in flames. You’re the reason he says he has allergies to strawberries and he your reason for something you hate now.

　 ↪ 19-24
　 ↪ no gender preference
　 ↪ open to everyone except goguryeo royals for obvious reasons
　 ↪ angsty crush plot! it can either be reciprocated or one-sided depending on our muses' chemistry. roles can be reversed too upon discussion.
　 ↪ you've seen how marriage works for the royals — they will eventually be tied to one another whether they like it or not, and you know that it's only a matter of time before ryujin meets the same fate. that, however, did not stop your heart from skipping a beat when she's around you, or your mind from keeping you awake with her in your late night thoughts. loving her will most likely end with a broken heart on your end — are you willing to take that risk?

⤚ in 2017, you came to the animal shelter do adopt a pet. changmin helped you with the whole process, found a furry friend just for you through many visits and searching for the right one. at the end of the process, after signing the adoption papers, you slid him a piece of paper with your name and phone number written on it. he was shy and flustered, and yet he never called/texted you. years later, he finds the piece of paper tucked away, and decides to finally hit you up. now he just has to confront the little butterflies that have returned from the first time you met.
‣ note: we can always discuss how things go. my intention is that changmin has a little crush on your character, but is confused on those feelings from the past, which may/may not flourish into something more. i dont mind changing anything up, though!

‣ note: there is no set date for his mother's passing: we would decide this based on when we do this connection.

⤚ its his first time back in baekje after years of studying in acirema, and now that he's in such an important position, he needs some help getting on his feet in the beginning. he runs into you in the halls of the palace, desperately trying to find the library. after that, you become his go-to directory, and soon a good friend.

⤚ before he left for acirema, you and hyunggu had some sort of a relationship, or at least were on the path toward one. just before he left, however, he played you a song he had written on his guitar, speaking of romance and love. now, he's back, and you've never forgotten the song he had played for you.
‣ note: this doesnt need to go down the romance/lover route if we dont want it to. its just a fluffy/ex(?) plot!

⤚ hyunggu prefers to keep up to date what's going on with everyone in the family. you are no exception. for whatever reason, you've been trying to avoid him, maybe even sick of him trying to pry. but he doesnt stop, especially not when you're so intent on avoiding him - not until he can finally find you and sit down and talk with you.
‣ note: obviously we can talk about why you've been avoiding him!

# data[].attributes.body
【 bloom. 】
— any rank, any house
— any gender, closer to his age (23-27)
⤚ hyunggu has never been very aware of when someone had any sort of feelings for him. perhaps it was the humility, or perhaps it was being so dedicated to studying and working. and so it's no surprise that he's completely oblivious to the fact that you have a crush on him.
‣ note: this is a super flexible connection, and yet again it doesnt really need to go down the route of romance/lover if we dont want it to!
