i used to hear a simple songthat was until you
came along.
| Edward Lister was a man of few and fine pleasures. Promenades being one of them if the company was agreeable.
There was something quite charming about walking and talking without many distractions.
"Come with us tomorrow morning, how bad can it be after all?" William had proposed last evening in the Gentlemen's club and Edward was left with a conundrum. Whilst he enjoyed the company very much he feared he might have unwanted runs ins with certain people he'd rather not to. It defeated the purpose of not calling in the first place...and yet here he was.
Lord Alvanley was always smartly dressed, there was something about appearing presentable that had always struck a nerve in him. Maybe it was an old habit born out of fear of repercussions from his father's severe opinion but alas it was a good habit indeed.
He walked slowly, sharp blue eyes searching for his friend in red. It didn't take long to find the whole group. William, his sister-in-law and cousin, the one Edward dreaded to see not from embarrassment but out of inconvenience. William's cousin Clara had this habit of getting what she wanted and if she seeped a match out of her acquaintance with Edward she got far less than that.
He approached them slowly, a small smile on his lips, "Alvanley!" his friend greeted him with a thunderous voice and a bright grin. Edward greeted his friend with a firm handshake and a pat on the shoulder, William was always a close friend. One he trusted with pretty much everything. Turning to his right there were three ladies before him: Clara and her haughty self, William's sister in law and someone Edward had never met before. His eyes lingered on that young lady, breath getting caught at the back of his throat, his smile idle upon his lips.
William made the introductions, his tone as always firm and to the point. "You already know my sister in law, and my cousin Clara-" he said with some hint of excitement for what's to come, "Good evening, my ladies…" Edward greeted them with a small bow and a tip of his hat, "And may I introduce you to Miss Georgina Pelham." there it was. A name. His heart stumbled, he bowed again, "Pleasure to make you an acquaintance, Miss Pelham." the tone of his voice is a warm rich timbre. He tried to keep his eyes from lingering on her though it was quite hard to do so. She was quite beautiful with long red hair sensibly pinned up, her skin alabaster white only tainted by constellations of freckles scattered across it, the most beautiful soulful hazel eyes he had ever laid his eyes upon.

The LOVE INTEREST | | his ONE true match - Middle class (?) | It's a truth universally acknowledged that an arrogant man shall have his comeuppance.
And this is what this lady is for Edward.
The one that he will fall for deeply for. but there is a secret he is not aware of.... lets Malcolm's List this up in here....
a jilted lady has concucted a plan to make the poor guy suffer by having this lady come into his life and fit every single thing in Alvanley's list . the perfect lady for him appearing at last only to break his heart........
only that she did not count on this lady's own heart.
this lady will challenge him, captivate him and eventually have his deepest affection.... a hitch in the plan is that she too will fall for him... will this plot against him be their downfall? will he be able to forgive and forget? will she?
Around 25-27? probably a governess at this point? I was thinking that she will come from a middle class family pretending to be of noble birth (bc it's one of the list items for Edward... a list soon to be discarded as you can tell) pretty much everything is open and up to you!

THE BEST FRIEND | | THE COLONEL - VALIANT TOY SOLDIER | | The second son of an Earl or a Duke, this man has signed up with the army and has won himself some proper recognition. He is the other side of the same coin as Edward over here and in many ways he calls him out when he is being abonoxiously arrogant with his so called list.
he could be in on it but only for Alvanley's sake bc this charade has gone on for far too long and they all know it.
Pretty much everything about him is up to you! A redcoat for sure tho... i like the idea of Edward enving him for his numerious adventures...

| ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |
.:Name:. Edward William Fitzgerald Lister .:Nick Name:. Alvanley .:Rank:. Baron/Noble .:Age:. 27
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Tall with broad shoulders and a proud posture. Alvanley is known for his handsome piercing blue eyes and his sharp face structure. A true danty by all accounts, he always dresses in the most latest of fashions yet keeping a sensible approach so he shall not appear ridiculous. He keeps his hair short, clean shaven apart from his medium length sideburns on either side of his face. .:Height:.6'2" .:Portrayed by:. Callum Turner
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Raised with a good family name and a very strict father, Alvanley is known for his impeccable manners and decoroum… that an a sizable fortune that has him deemed as a sought out bachelor. A very agreeable young man, he had always been polite and good humored. Charming, clever and some could say a bit of a womanizer Edward had always been an interesting fellow to drink a glass of port with.
The truth is that Alvanley is not a bad man, no. He simply has high expectations, expectations that keep him from finding a good match for himself (and a list of requirements at that) so in the proccess he hurts the expectatations of young Ladies who were sure they had secured a place in his heart. So yes, we should persume that he is quite stubborn and standoffish. Some, if not most, would deem him as arrogant and selfish with no real care for other's feelings but that is only a fragment of his real character.
Alvanley has a true sense of fellowship and duty embedded deep inside of him. If you are his friend he will never ever do anything to harm or endanger you in any way. In fact he is adament in protecting those he holds in high esteem, such as his close friends and family. Edward has traveled a lot and thus he is a little more worldly than the gentlemen stuck at the gentleman's club for the majority of their adult lives.
.:Skills:. a great shoot, skilled swordsman and quite good at managing his estate, an excellent wordsmith .:Weaknesses:. stubborn, arrogant, non-confrontational
| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. London, England .:Family:. Richard Lister - father, deceased. Mary Wilbraham-Bootle - mother .:Occupation:. Nobleman .:History:. Always on your best behavior, always a pride to the family; that was what Edward's father always wanted of him. What he demanded of him.
A son of duty, a son proud of his heritage, an honorable future Baron, an obedient son.
He remembers his childhood days running up and down the main staircase of their home, dark brown curls flapping in the air as he made his way out of the door and onto the garden. Edward always liked his father's horses and as a little boy he frequently escaped from his tutor and hid in the stables; something that was quickly uncovered and Edward got punished for. Some would say that he was pressuring Edward a little too much in his teenage years, but Edward never saw it that way. He wanted his father to be proud of him.
Not that he managed to do that and it still haunts him that he never managed to give him the pleasure of seeing him married while he was still alive.
Now he finds himself seeking a wife once more, one that would fit his list of requirements. A very, very particular list of requirments… though rumor has it he is about to meet his match.
