Ross Fisher Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) This is where I'm putting all my ongoing stories about Padre François. They will go in chronological order of his timeline, rather than IRL. The four surviving François siblings, from eldest to youngest, and from left to right: Hercule François, the Vicomte Guemain, is the head of the family, and holds the sole hereditary title. He is largely concerned with the running of the estate. In his spare time he is a connoisseur of wines, and has built up an impressive cellar in the Chateaux Guemain. Celeste Dupré (neè François) is both an accomplished mother (with two sons and three daughters) but also a renowned beauty and sharp wit. Invitations to her private salon are highly prized, and her book on etiquette and realpolitik in the Royal court has been reprinted a dozen times Padre Jules François you will come to know. Pierre François, the "Chevalier de la chasse", Lieutenant in the Royal Musketeers, and a favourite of the king's back in his days as a carousing young prince. These days he has lost favour, his career has stalled, and his fondness for wine, women and horses is catching up with him. The Dupré Family; François' Sister, Brother-in-law, and his nieces and nephews. From left to right: Celeste, the Duchess Dupré. Monique Dupré; her youngest daughter. Amand, the Duc Dupré. Eldest son Emile Dupré, the Marquis de Guenin. Young Hercule Dupré, the Baron de Boudenelles. Eldest daughter, the recently betrothed Lucille Dupré. Middle daughter Diana Dupré.

Ross Fisher Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Hear ye, hear ye! In an unfortunate turn of events, the Abbé François has been bankrupted, and imprisoned as a debtor in the Chateau D'Ouennes; the fort that he himself paid for, and the reason he was bankrupt in the first place. Heretics and heathens everywhere must surely be breathing a sigh of relief. - Town Crier, Lavalette OOC: The Abbé got hit hard by the one-two combination of rule changes to raiding and then fort costs. He will remain in Prison until his debts are cleared. Edited August 17, 2019 by Ross Fisher Quote
Darnok Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Yet another zealous lunatic whose hypocrisy backfired - hooray! May the WTC assist with a donation of kinds? We would totally not strangle you with conditions and stuff. Edited August 18, 2019 by Darnok Quote

Professor Thaum Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 I will comment here to avoid cluttering up the Terraversa thread. A really nice vignette (the seasprays are really innovative and it works, and those half out of bounds trees too) I like all the mystery surrounding all the adventures of padre Canon François. Quote
Ross Fisher Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 @Professor Thaum Thanks! Quote

Ross Fisher Posted August 30, 2021 Author Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Introducing Bishop François - the "Hawk of Hades". His secretary, Monsieur Gallo, you already know. He will also be accompanied by his fourth bodyguard in as many years (after Merde the Murderer, Mad Hamish MacSpud and Helmut Von Braun), Michel Saint-Clare, Knight Commander of the Knights Treasurer.

evancelt Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Congrats on your bishop-hood! That's quite a hat Quote

KotZ Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Congrats Bishop! And yes, hats were great in that time. Should we start a revival? Quote
