Hi everyone, thanks for joining - or considering.
IMPORTANT!
Once the claim is closed, no more contestants will be accepted into the contest since I have to prepare the backstories and the plot points.
Thank you for understanding.
This is the character claim, but please read this first.
UPDATED! wrote
1. Rounds will be clearly set, and you should post within that limit (Dare's model). Meaning, what's posted until I open the next round is what counts for impressions.
2. Some additional secrets & relationships will be uncovered later, so bear with me.
3. You will get the rest of the information once the contest starts.
4. There is a finite number of people, whoever is not cast will be added as an extra.
5. Consider this is writing within an existing structure before joining: it might not be everyone's cup of tea.
6. Please take into consideration the FC if your claim has siblings, family, or some kind of nationality attached to them.
7. Married or engaged does not mean things will remain like it: it's a starting point.
8. Ask, don't assume.
9. The complete character sheet will arrive before the contest (next week).
10. Things might change as people join in & I add a timeline.
11. Should you decide to drop out, for any reason at all, your character remains part of the story.
All-female characters are up for grabs.
That includes Rebekah, Selena, Agatha, Gigi, Aurora, Winny, Vita, Noemi & Zella.

Age: 60
Strict & seemingly fair patriarch of the Wolf family. He was an intelligent businessman, savvy negotiator and calculated man. Born into a noble family, he soon realized title does not equal money - Thelonious worked for everything he had. His first wife is often declared the love of his life. While the couple was unable to have children, they adopted five - out of which four have survived. After the death of his first wife, Thelonious got married to a young German girl half his age, to the shock and dismay of his entire family.
The Widow: Lady Rebekah Wolf (nee. Meier) (claimed by Schogo)
