Ishat = Goddess of fire and heat, bitch of the gods, killed by Anat, the fiery goddess, perhaps Ishat represents the scorching heat of summer that causes plants to wither and die.
Based off of Justina Szilágyi in real life. I have two characters in my campaign based off of her and Vladislav and I really like them. I've only ever drawn Justina once before this and it wasn't digitally, so this was really fun.
[Historical fiction novel set sometime in the Middle-ages/Renaissance. In order to have more creative freedom, I've decided to create fictional kingdoms but, since I have thought of no names yet, I'll use the names of the places they're inspired by when describing the characters. For now, at least. It will be updated when I've come up with decent names]
Families => Main characters
Rúadhán & Cecilia. They live on Celtic-like island (think of a remote Greek Island but settled by Celts) with their four children Órla, Mairéad, Clarice and Giuliano. Cecilia was an "Italian" noblewoman of the House of Contarini—that's probably a placeholder name, but I really like it and the Contarini family were an actual Venetian noble family—who gave up everything she had (or was disowned, I still have to decide on that) to marry Rúadhán (he is a merchant and traveled a lot, that's how they met).
Fancasts:
Rúadhán=> Engin Öztürk
Cecilia=> Selma Ergeç
Órla=> Şeyma Burcu Gül
Mairéad=> Isolda Dychauk
Elena=> Synnøve Karlsen
Giuliano=> Ruairi O'Connor
Royal Family (the country is supposed to be akin to Tudor England)
I don't have a name for the king and queen (might as well end up being emperor/empress) yet, I only know he married three times and two of his wives executed.
Children from his first marriage (from left to right): Princess Elizabeth, Princess Alexandra, Princess Mary
Fancasts:
King=> Anthony Head
Queen=> Hülya Avşar
Princess Elizabeth=> Gaia Weiss
Princess Alexandra=> Gözde Türker
Princess Mary=> Holliday Grainger
King's second wife and son, Prince Arthur.
Queen #2=> Vildan Atasever
Prince Arthur=> Max Irons
Third marriage to Queen Jane and son Henry.
Queen Jane=> Annabelle Wallis
Prince (later King) Henry=> Oliver Zetterström
-
Lady Catherine, the King's illegitimate daughter, her mother is unknown.
Fancast=> Astrid Berges-Frisbey
House of Venier (family crest=> eagle)
I don't know about titles. Italian nobility (they're Italian) used 'Messer' and 'Madonna' so I guess I might keep them. They're nobles, so why not.
Messer Piero and Madonna Maddalena and their children Leonardo/Lorenzo(?), Laura and Lucrezia. Lorenzo (placeholder name for now, but I think it will stick) serves as Ambassador and ends up marrying Elena/Helena
Fancasts:
Piero=> Dustin Hoffman
Maddalena=> Tülin Özen
Leonardo/Lorenzo=> Daniel Sharman
Laura=> Gonca Sariyildiz
Lucrezia=> Merve Boluğur
Matilda Lutz as Lisa (I still have to pick a name)=> Leonardo/Lorenzo's twin sister.
Both countries (both the "Italian" and the "English" one might have "Ottoman" influences as a result of an alliance)
Main couples:
Also, these two up above are basically a more historical version of Elenwë from my LOTR/Silmarillion fic "The Lady of Ithilien"
These are the main characters, this post will be updated periodically as I come up with new ones!
