    To be honest, I think my character (Murielle) would love a treehouse with a lot of hidden rooms inside and a deep dark basement under the tree that is... If anything terrifying.

    The tree would be old and warn down but still amazing to live in. As well as being large, it has a homely feel in the main rooms with some questionable feelings coming from the other hidden rooms.

    I have a feeling it would not look like a house on the outside either, just looking like a regular tree to keep her home hidden. Either surrounded by forest or in the corner of a district.

    Yama Sillah's dream house would be a cozy nook. Perhaps a two story log or brick home. A nice fireplace and sofa to read books at. A small study for her more intensive reading. A wonderful kitchen filled with the smells of past cooking she had done in Farah'deen Cuisine. Every time she enters it's like she is back home. A bedroom with a large bed covered in luxurious fabrics. And a small garden out front of easy to care for flowers.

    Imara's dream house would be a cozy, medium-sized house by the water with a more spacious, open-air design similar to Caelfall. It'd be located only a little ways south of the city proper, at most a short walking distance from Hangroad so that she'd be afforded some quiet and still be close to her friends. Its architecture would be a mix of Regalian and Qadir styles with sand-colored walls, a lot of drapes, and rooms accentuated with brass, beige, and light blue tones. There would be balconies and large windows to let the sunlight in, perfect for sitting back to observe the distant towers of the city or the tranquil blue waters. Fit for an explorer, the rooms would have plenty of books and tables for maps or treasures, as well as lounges for simply watching the outdoors or spending the day reading. The two to three floors would house a comfortable living space, kitchen, and workshop, as well as a little indoor greenhouse tended to by clockwork machinery. It'd be a bright and welcoming residence reflecting the strange cultural blend between peoples, with more than enough space to house friends and other intrepid adventurers.

    I imagine Malaqar to be living in an extravagantly luxuriant houseboat/yacht mix. A floating, small mansion with two or three stories, generously lit with lanterns and magical candles. The ship itself is a decommissioned grain barge or similarly large vessel, with the hull cleared out and turned into a hedonistic haven, with a wide assortment of recreational activities possible there. There is a sundeck up top, shielded from prying eyes with a half-wall consisting of tinted glass and expensive wood. There should also be a small feasting room somewhere in there, consistently stocked with food, sweets and drinks of every sort. No matter the season, good or bad times, they go to extremes to flex.

    It is long and thin enough to comfortably sail up most major rivers and canals in the Empire. There is an overall warm atmosphere present, a place that makes no secret about the owner's wealth but it invites you to relax and share in the comforts of the Solstithar's not-so-humble abode.

    It has no masts or oars, as it moves with some unexplained magical enchantment! Convenient, and pretty cool.

    My character Kivruss has a dream house of an alchemy wonderland, The first floor being the entrance to it, Vials along the walls, meeting all sorts of purposes, from bath bomb simplicity to medicinal alchemy to heal wounds, even volatile alchemy with different aesthetics from acids to explosives, with the second floor being a wonderous alchemy lab, clad in multiple clock work heated devices, mixing tools, and many various devices to aid in purifying and making potent extracts of ingredients, while his third floor would be an alchemy lounge, where one can try the alchemy out, for therapeutic or recreational reasons, from putting you into wonderous dreams to simply taking edge of and becoming calm, while sitting by the fire and drinking alchemically spiked wine. The fourth floor would be his bedrooms, alchemy used to make it smell divine, even possibly appealing to each individual who walked in. Alchemically fueled lanterns and multiple cabinets filled with alchemy that induces good dreams to aid with his night terrors. Its an odd idea but I see it as fitting for his love and skill in alchemy.

    Avaineiral's dream home would follow the Talant style of architecture that they had grown used to while living in the Allorn Empire, a marble exterior with a blue and turquoise domed roof set near the ocean side if not directly next to it just so they could always have a view they'd enjoy given how much freedom the sea gives in their mind along with a pathway down to a personal dock to keep their personal yacht in. While there wouldn't be much in terms of windows in favour of the openness of homes that they're familiar with, blue and purple tinted glass would definitely act as decoration in the arches of the home or at the top to where windows would actually be in normal homes. Leading up to the home would be a twisting path, not cutting through trees or shrubbery that would keep the pleasant scenery intact. Outside the home there would be many statues, mostly those depicting Altalar soldiers or even some of the Pantheon like Ulley and Ellea due to the preference for both. A small garden fit for growing their own herbs for cooking and blue/white flowers for the added fitting theme of the already established colour scheme. Even a gazebo set just off to the side where they could sit and simply enjoy tea or the fresh air with others, having the scenery to enjoy and provide a sense of calm. While not as grand as most estates, the most sought after size would be that of a seaside villa, enough to house their partner and whatever family they decide to start, three stories or so high with enough space for a few bedrooms, a personal library, large kitchen, living room and even a bath underneath. It'd be similar to the housing they had while serving as a Kade palest to Rowena in their own wing of the estate while mixing with the aesthetics of their previous home in the Finalond District. A mix of comfort and extravagance that can be difficult to come across properly in Regalia with most housing being one or the other, blending both aspects of the life that they've come to known.

    Marinoor's dream house is a "Meraic pillbox."

    A small, unassuming underground structure set into a hill, whose entryway looks like a well. A miniature homage to the interior of a Tohn Valeer vault, it would be a cluster of rooms full of half-repaired crystal technology and manuscripts around a central meditation and sleeping area, with one space set up specifically for boxing against a dummy.

    I think that the most interesting thing about it would be the alien color palette and architecture choices, resembling one of your Codex or Conduit dungeons more than a normal Regalian rent. Thinking a lot of vibrancy and glow, backed on dark stone. Something comfortable and familiar to a Vaulter Maraya, but eerie to anyone not accustomed.

    I think my dream home for Jocelyn would be an extravagant yet dark and lonely estate, built with Gothic architecture, looking over or integrated with a lake or pond surrounded by pine trees with a tower or two connected by archways and small bridges that peak out from the trees around dedicated to an alchemical lab. The main section of the house being tightly composed and each area being somewhat closed off beyond the entrance hall, a fireplace lit den with nice cozy for luxurious morning kaffee and late night relaxing drinks near A modest kitchen and an equally modest dinning hall among other basic amenities, bedroom, luxurious bath for cleanliness is close to godliness. The exterior would have inlaid carvings of various dragons and a statue of A Violet Creation Dragon emerging from it's bowl perhaps not far from a green house on the grounds to aid in the production of alchemy and medicine. But bellow the estate would be a secret state of the art laboratory(where his ex-wife homunculi certainly aren't hidden) for the more messy and better off hidden side of medical practices, and study of lost but not quite gone draconic technologies.

    Mateo honestly has his dream home as a sort of lofthouse or worker's home. A place that he, his family, and any friends in need can stay in with several rooms. He wants a forge for himself as well as a large kitchen to use. These two things are what he really needs to fuel his passions, smithing and cooking. He really gets bliss from crafting something beautiful and seeing others enjoy it. More than likely the home would be a mix of Daen and Ithanian styles. At best, it'd be similar to what he has now but larger. A large lounge area to relax with folk and drink, a kitchen with a booth. Potentially a dining table for meetings but to him that's not as comfortable as the kitchen seating or lounge would be. The finest forge he could ever afford would be his pride and joy, though more than likely he'd also run his home as an extension of the Mercenary Keep he has come to love. Including cells for apprehending people with bounties until the Mercenary Keep or Greygate can make space for the prisoners. He might at times be a criminally inclined man, but the best he wants is a happy life around friends and doing the two things he loves. Even if at times his home might reflect that with darker elements inside them, his biggest wish is to merely have a home large enough for them to also live with him and share their experiences with him. To him, a home isn't properly one unless you have people to share it with.

    Terrowin enjoys simplicity in all things, and this would be exemplified in his "dream house". It'd be nestled in a nice spot near the Nook and Cranny, have a small open courtyard and a gazebo where he would spend hours on hours playing his lyre or practicing his singing. He'd have a study, a fair-sized bedroom, a guest room, and a combined kitchen / dining room with plenty of drink and food to share. He'd keep it clean but also slightly cluttered from his busy life, ensuring the living spaces were well used. The whole house would have tones of green and blue, with the New Regalian architecture would be slightly nostalgic for anyone passing by. A welcoming front porch to invite anyone in as they passed by, with a grand smile.

    Florian’s dream home would be a grand fairytale castle.

    The castle itself would be situated somewhere outside of the city, preferably atop the ledge of a cliff overlooking the sea. It’s make is of generic castle materials; mixed stone, pale plaster and dark tiled roofs. As per it’s style, the castle would have outer walls and a portcullis as defensive assets to the home, a must after the Sanguine occupation. A quaint little stable would be tucked away between the outer walls and the castle to house his Cheval du Ciel. The actual entryway, along with the rest of the home, is grand and large, reflective of the living conditions he’d become accustomed to as a noble. No noble estate is complete without a ballroom boasting sky-high ceilings, an office/cigar den, a dining room with a Big Chair™️ and spare bedrooms for the family. High towers and large windows are essential to soak in the sprawling views of land and sea with the master bedroom taking the tallest tower. Supportive pillars engraved in intricate details befitting of the gothic style line the inner courtyard, encasing a central fountain and ample space for fencing. Well-kempt shrubbery and vines decorate the castle’s exterior as well as the courtyard and the castle’s flower of choice is roses. Lots and lots of roses. The interiors would be lavish and traditional, hues of burgundy, gold and black present throughout the entire house. Traditional yet romantic.

    TLDR: Florian’s ideal home is the Beast's castle from Beauty and the Beast, straight up.

    The character I play, Franz Knispel, is from Waldmark. Waldmark is based on Bavaria/Austro-Bavarian regions so normally you'd expect something like the "Walderhaus", typical of Bavaria for peasents who lived in the forest.

    [​IMG]


    But, there is another kind of architecture that in my opinion is more fitting. Waldmark gives me the vibe of this big dark woods with vampires lurking in the night and the peasantry living isolated from the rest of the world. This reminds me a lot of Transylvania in Romania, which has a very interesting style of peasant houses often found in the woods or rural areas.


    [​IMG]
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]


    A stone or cobble first floor that's been painted white with a downstairs where the bedrooms are aswell as a food cellar. Ontop of that a second floor constructed out of a dark colored sturdy wood, with a hearthroom, lots of windows, and a patio so that you can go outside and look out at the sun in the morning. Finally a sloped roof with a small chimney poking out, with an attic just inside for hiding either your vampire hunting equipment or dead bodies depending on which side you're on.

    That's the general look but then you have to ask, well what would your character have inside? My character is a landsknecht, and also a very passionate cook, so it would reflect both of those things.

    First he'd probably have a root cellar running beneath the house. A root cellar is a kind of underground cellar that keeps food at a cool temperature and even humidity throughout the winter so that they'll last longer. The entrance would be outside the house, and run below it.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]


    The first floor would fairly open, and instead of it's traditional use as a living space or basement, he'd use it mostly for training. It would have a Meyer's Square for training with his sword, a Meyer's Square being a diagram used for longsword training. Also some spare weapons, dummies, a whetstone, the sort of stuff you'd expect to see in their own little training area.

    [​IMG]


    But not all they do is fighting! So the second floor would be where they cook and where they live. This being a very passionate cook, he'd definitely have a well stocked and equipped kitchen.


    [​IMG]


    Now obviously they don't spend all day cooking, so in addition he'd probably have a small fireplace nook to keep warm during the winter, that they can relax by and read a book. Maybe a small library nearby so that he has a place to store all the lbooks he's collected over the years.

    [​IMG]

    I don't imagine the character as someone who cares a lot about where they sleep, so their bedroom would be something small, cozy and functional. Just a single bed, some small cubbies to store things in, and a desk for writing things down.

    [​IMG]


    In the attic would be all the stuff he doesn't use on a daily basis. Old weapons, tools for fixing up the house, that kind of stuff. Along with that he'd have a few souvenirs from wars he's fought in over the years. Maybe trophies taken from dead beasts or pilfered off bodies. The kind of stuff he keeps around but doesn't want to see every day as a reminder of his line of work.


    I've made this response way more long and rambly then it has to be, but that's Franz Knispel's dream house. Location wise it'd probably be just outside the city proper, since it really wouldn't fit inside.
    Thanks for reading through this :)

    For Salvia it would be one of the many country side estates or fancy city houses that were lost to time. Not all houses get destroyed and there is something beautiful about nature taking back what was once theres, a yanar's dream. Even if it's in the slums it would be something completely dismissed by most people for looking like it was part of the background but Salvia would find a small door somewhere and instead see the sunlight was peaking through small parts of the roof and absolutely adore it.

    Perhaps prop up some parts to make it sort of a loft building. Have large strips of tent hanging over to give it a bit of a feel of a slum/sewer base which is what she grew up with. Perhaps a floaded area where the front door once was or a large puddle that has formed into a small pool due to the roof leaking.

    The cosiness would come from being able to take something forgotten by the rest of the world and being allowed to make it her own place.

    The overall feel~​

    Cadwyn would ideally live in a little cabin somewhere north of the city, along the river towards the Sepulchre or on a tributary leading to that same river in the same area. No trails would lead to it, as he'd have been the one to lead a few friends to build it with him. Since the best thing he can build alone is probably a pillow fort.

    There'd be a small dock for fishing (of course) and maybe even a small boat to go to and fro along the river, with a trail heading up to the cabin. The construction of the cabin itself would be fairly rectangular and rudimentary with the most permanent thing being the fireplace made of brick and mortar. That would make up one wall. Along with the other walls, save for the one with a door through it, it'd be windowless. The window next to the door would be small even. Opposite to the fireplace on the outside of the cabin would be an area to clean fish, or just a shed for tools and the like separate from the cabin. Maybe a cleared section of grass with a depression in the middle to act as a training pit. The overall look of the place would be simple, a log cabin. Not even in the woods. Just a small ways away from the water. Where ever that may be.

    Inside there'd be enough room for a handful people to live in mild comfort. A kitchen, place to sit down, and beds on both a loft and a rudimentary bedroom. Greens and cyans would be abundant, draped banners of the Wards of Fae Order hanging from the loft and over the fireplace. There definitely would be a massive couch. Almost ridiculously sized for the amount of space in there. The bedroom would have the small window in it. And besides that, there isn't too much to the place.

    All in all it'd be a simple place to live. Cabin, fishing, training, walking to and from the city.

    Lynmar's dream house would be situated in the outskirts of regalia. Wanting his peace from the city life, but also near enough to act/react if necessary. Presumably placed near a body of water, it is reminiscent of his youth and a good place to serve his philosophical and almost crackhead-like needs. The building itself would be more of a small castle or small militarized estate. Stone walls surrounding the whole thing. Showing banners of his coat of arms as knight and Lomstedt. It is a solar eclipse and a dragon holding onto it. The first thing to arrive in would be a courtyard that is split in four through a path. The first part has various flowers, the second a small pond, the third a garden and the last a place to meditate in sunlight. A few Chrysant Flowers inhabiting the pond, seemingly being "harvested" from time to time. Possibly fueling strange experiments. Though, the more important thing would be several statues. One in every corner/middle of a section, and each of them resembling a different leader of dragon worship. All of them facing towards the middle, there being a statue of Rhaakhr. A few benches would also be scattered across the courtyard. Each path of it would lead to a different building. The one on the left leading to a building that served the duty of a vast personal library/archive and even storage of "historical artifacts" on pedestals. The last bit mostly being some trinkets he found during his journeys and being a pleasant sight to the eye, then serving anything really. Nonetheless, a few seraph runes would be placed under each of them. Supposedly warding off evil spirits, not that he would know. Not even being able to read it, but they seemed right there, for some reason. The library mostly stores historical and more occult focused books, however a few language books would also be here and there. Mostly serving to remind him of things and perhaps even encouraging further study. The path that continued forward from the courtyard would end in a living area. Being the actual house, so to say. Having a kitchen, bath, office and a few bedrooms, a large meeting hall and a small wine cellar. The most noteworthy of it would be a relatively large meditation room. A few books laying on the floor and the room seemingly seeing more use than the actual bedroom. It would be built in a more seraph like style, having smooth white marble accompanied by golden lines and a few blue elements. The next, right and last building would be relatively small in comparison to the others. Serving as an armory, training area and storage for all kinds of things. The most prominent bit being a small area with trophies and filled with various armors over the years. One could also assume a few hidden passages to get out of the estate and back in without leaving much of a trace.


    He would have a few building and improvement plans, being the perfectionist he is. Going as far as thinking about replacing the outer wall around the whole complex with conduit stone from seraph sites. Thinking it might come in handy later, or just show his achievements. Be it pricey. Another plan would be about shielding his meditation room with magestone, hoping it would "ward off" essence and demons, resulting in better and safer meditation and even adding a bigger window in there. Trying to get a better sight of the moon and sun. Though, he is still doubting the window, seeing it as a high compromise should an attack force arrive. And lastly a small underground laboratory, serving for all his spontaneous and strange rituals or future research, should he do more in the future. Knowing all these things are quite expensive and in need of planning, he would push it a bit back, even with his accumulated regals as knight, during his long guard duty for the state and advisor for Typhonus. Being a dream for his... well dream house.

    A gated villa in the city, adorned in a hybrid of Regalian architecture, and trinkets of Eriunin design with a balcony to look out over the streets below, and room for shop/stall areas for the streetfront.

    I would love a simple dark academia styled cottage with a nice kitchen, library, and especially a BIG OLE cellar for wine.

    Vivienne's dream house would be a small or medium sized cottage along the river or by some sort of water place. The place won't be too far from the city. It'd perhaps be around the /tp PrestigePark area sorta behind those estates and trees. She can get a nice view of the water and be shaded in the trees. Sorta around here:

    [​IMG]

    The style of the house would be cottage styled and medieval like. The image below will give you an idea just what it'd look like:
    [​IMG]
    It'd be in the style of this. It'd have two floors and maybe a basement(if possible doesn't have to be an option though). On the first floor, there would be a nice living room with a fireplace and some bookshelves and a couple seats and then it would have a kitchen area and table and chairs so that you could eat. There would be some carpet/rugs and decorations to resemble northern stuff. There are also going to be some windows on each floor, perhaps a big window in the living room area. There would then be a staircase that would lead upstairs to the second floor where two bedrooms would be: a room for Vivienne and then a guest room. Perhaps on one of the sides of the house you could add a small tower that could be used for maybe a storage room or the guest bedroom. In the basement, that'd be storage and maybe a bath.

    As for the scenery, the house would be shaded in trees and have flowers, bushes, and other plants around it. There could also be a small area for a campfire with a couple benches. There can also be maybe some grapevines or like a small gazebo or grapevine garden.

    Overall, the cottage/home would be cozy for Vivienne and remind her of the small cottage she grew up in back in Hedryll.

    Eva's dream home would follow a light germanic city domain with a lush overgrown floral setting to compliment the front, the interior would be filled to the brim to follow a very comfortable homey style to offer her a sense of security (Something akin to a more soft New-Regalian style, not so much gothic and cold). A warm living quarters with a fireplace and books laying about, some clockwork trinkets here and there. A room dedicated solely to the arts, paints scattered about as well as a harp. Two bedrooms precisely, a guest and a master. A library, a small kitchen alongside a small dining room. And if able to fit, a tea room/lounge area.

    General vibe, more so a mixture of the two.

    This is for my character Olivia!

    Her dream house is a white marble / light wood home done up in mostly Imperial styling, with high ceilings and nature wound around the supports. (Think exposed beams with florals wrapped around.) Lots of statues, floral arrangements, and large lounges to host people in. Areas to entertain and delight and host parties for anyone in the City who wants to come by. Room enough to do what she wants comfortably, but still small enough to be cozy and warm in the winters. One or two grand spectacle pieces, but definitely nothing super out there. Statues of the God-Emperor Vess and God Empress Ness, her two patrons, and maybe a little garden set out front with a swing.

    Ideally, this would be placed as close to the city center as possible in the Imperial Isle district, or else Ithaniancourt.
