    The de Piedmont family primarily began as grape farmers in the Ithanian countryside, not yet well-known for their material wealth or maritime trading. While their homestead had access to the sea, their income could only afford them rent for other captains looking to transport goods for a price. Inevitably the family did rise through the wealth bracket, as the demand for wine in Ithanian taverns created large profit margins for the fledgling family.

    Soon, their enterprise grew to a wealthy merchant business, with the family now engaging in a very prosperous trade venture. These years were known as the founding years for the Piedmont trading company, an entity founded by Lyon de Piedmont who was patriarch at the time. As business steadily increased, Lyon expanded his family ventures beyond grape farming and to sea trading, where he established the company as a business to business broker.

    Lyon eventually passed the business down to his son Maximilien, after his son had returned from the east to join the family business. Maximilien expanded the company by bringing in skilled ship captains to assist in transporting their goods across the seas, attracting wealthy benefactors among the commoner and merchant classes. Soon after establishing his business in Ithania the man moved family that wished to flee Ithania with him to Osteiermark. Aside from the company, Maximilien had five young children and a wife to tend to.

    During their childhoods, the children were well taken care of. To ensure that each of his children would be able to lead successful lives, Maximilien trained each child to a certain strength with little regard to their interest in the subject, while still leaving room for them to enjoy hobbies. Eventually, Maximilien would move the business to the City of Regalia to allow more business opportunities. While the company continued to grow, the de Piedmont family began to flock towards Regalia.

    Unfortunately, Maximilien would face an untimely death shortly after establishing a name for the company in the city, which resulted in his eldest alive kin, Violetta, taking over as the matriarch and owner of the family businesses.

    Rules​
    1. Acceptance is determined based off of many factors including competency in the application process, and preceding player history. We expect maturity among every player who applies to the family.
    2. House de Piedmont biology should be followed when designing a character for the family. There is little room for exceptions in that regard. For guidelines, consult regal culture height limits and the thread for appropriate inputs.
    3. Activity is a requirement, but we are lenient in the case that real life comes in the way.
    4. While I am not in favor of railroading roleplay in any way, some measure of loyalty and respect for the family lore is requested. If you have character developments you wish to go through with, speak with one of the current heads of the family so we can accommodate .
    5. If you would like to be an in roleplay adopted Piedmont we require at least a few months of roleplaying within the family along with two family played references.
    6. You must have a discord so we can communicate, especially if you are applying for a Family member.
    Ejection/Rejection

    If you have been ejected/rejected from the family but would still like to roleplay a family member here is what you can do. Some rejects will be because they didn't quite play the character that was set qualities, we will talk to you out of character first and see what we can do.


    Rejections | You can re-trial for a different character but not the same. If you where rejected for behavioral or generally ooc problems do not expect to be accepted for a trial easily. If you where rejected for not being able to fit the niche of the character you are allowed to create a character to trial with or find another best suited for your type of roleplay.
    Ejections | Best way to come back is to roleplay with the family more and to try to talk to Violetta/Anne. If you are ejected we will let you know or give a heads out of character in case what happened was unintentional.


    Applying for a character that was once played?

    Two of our current main line groups had original owners who have left massive completely, I got their permission to put them back up on the tree. If something like this happens once more and you wish to trial be ready for me to dm you over discord large portions of what they did/what has happened with them. If you are applying for a character who was once trialed before hand it is up to you if you would like to continue their path or if youd like to start anew.


    Family backstory?

    Every Piedmont that has been created has their own story or their own set goals (which is completely normal) However when on trial I would recommend to read over the Imperial culture and Ithanian culture wiki page. Once accepted you'll be able to read the whole Piedmont family backstory, do be warned as of right now it is not finished (currently in the middle of re-writting ahhh). If you have any more questions or would like to play a char that has grown up or been around the Piedmont family dont be afraid to dm Lilbeast or Audianna on discord.

    Character you are Applying for: Ambrose de Piedmont
    Give a [simple] description of appearance for the character: The most apparent thing with Ambrose’s appearance is her extreme muscularity. She is still just as beautiful as any noble woman though, her extremely long ginger locks are a testament to this. Further more, she decorates her hair akin to an Altalar, but with less gold and more ribbons and flowers. She wears a lot of makeup, but that is because she feels the need to compensate for her muscular appearance. She has brown eyes, built body fat, and strongman body shape.
    Give a [simple] description of the characters personality: Surprisingly enough, Ambrose is surprisingly bubbly and inviting as she wants to make friends. However, she does have a sort’ve stern and militaristic side to her as well and a lot of the time she chooses to show this. However, most of the time she’s more inviting and bubbly. She does have a bit of an ego though, due to her immense strength.
    Give a [simple] description of the characters childhood: Ambrose was adopted into the house as a baby, growing up to be a strong and healthy child as well as an intelligent one. She taught herself how to captain a fleet through her kin and she also made herself strong to compete with them. This is the basics and is intended to be expanded upon.

    Character you are Applying for: Arlette de Piedmont
    Give a [simple] description of appearance for the character:
    Arlette is a rather short Drahl Ailor with long, dirty blonde hair and light-blue eyes. Her skin is fairly pale, though tans slightly come summertime.
    Give a [simple] description of the characters personality:
    Arlette has a rather peppy attitude, always trying to see the bright side of things when able.
    Give a [simple] description of the characters childhood:
    Arlette was born in a relatively quiet town. That changed drastically when an inferno swept through the town, taking her parents in the blaze. Miraculously, Sasha de Piedmont found Arlette and adopted her into the family.

    Character you are Applying for: Elliott de Piedmont
    Give a [simple] description of appearance for the character:
    Elliott is a fit Nautileen with wavy, naturally blonde hair and green eyes. His skin is often more tan than the others of his family, mostly due to his time away at sea.
    Give a [simple] description of the characters personality:
    Elliott is a high-spirited, energetic man with a constant smile on his face. While he loves spreading his high energy through a room, he's not afraid to assert himself if he feels the need.
    Give a [simple] description of the characters childhood:
    Being the youngest of his siblings, Elliott was constantly babied. That didn't stop him from living in the shadow of his elder twin, Charles. Growing up, there was always a lingering annoyance - a constant reminder that he was not as tall, strong, and whatever else as his brother.

    Character you are Applying for: Valorie de Piedmont

    Give a [simple] description of appearance for the character: Light brown hair with beautiful blue eyes. Her skin is rather pale with a red-ish tint and she has a fairly slim build with soft features. Just like many other members of her bloodline, Valorie's nose and ears are on the smaller side.

    Give a [simple] description of the characters personality: A self important snob with a well trained political theatre. Don't let the fact that she likes to play pranks fool you, Valorie can be well-mannered and professional when need be. A true business woman she is. This particular de Piedmont also has the sort of mindset that others are inferior to her and should only be "graced" by her presence. Maybe she inherited her mother's cold personality after all.

    Give a [simple] description of the characters childhood: She always loved pulling pranks on family members and being adored by their cold...yet, loving, mother. As they say, once a trickster, always a trickster. Valorie still loves pulling pranks on unsuspecting family members to this day.

    (Do be warned, I have school so I might not be as active as some would like but I'll try my best!)
