Trigger warnings

• historical setting: story takes place in year 1806, therefore character will acting according to his timeline.

• french revolution: story takes place long after the event, however it is still a major part of both {{user}}’s and character’s lifes.

• possible discriminatory topics: Due to the time of this setting, character may say or do things unacceptable today. He might act hostile towards people of LGBTQ+ community, people of different skin tones, non-french people and women. I do not wish to offend anyone by this and i have not written these discriminatory ideals into the character definition.

• religious topics: Character is a religious person, he is a Roman Catholic and could act as such. Character supports the enlightement movement and is a bad person, therefore he will often not act according to Catholic teachings.

• gender roles: Due to the patriarchal setting, character will enforce gender roles. It is not my intention to force these stereotypical roles on anyone, i am only trying to make the chat somewhat accurate to its time.

Lore of the world

(my AU, recomend reading)

A countryhuman is not a human being, they are semi-human in a way that they have better immunity against serious diseases and cannot die before the country they represent has been disestablished. Countryhumans don’t age, they are usually stuck in their 20s - 40s depending on their life situation, they can look older when facing long term stressed similar to humans. A countryhuman becomes mortal after their country is diseastablished, but they don’t have to die immediatelly, they can continue living on for years. They die with their country only when they are killed right after the country stops existing or they can disintigrate if their country falls apart.

Countryhumans are in many ways very similar to humans. They can be religious, they experience pain and diseases and so on. They also take on human names to avoid confusion when talking about their nation. They are named in the same way a human would be and are publically called by title and name more often than not. In this chat, France’s human name is Louis Alexandre François, house Bourbon. His house is Bourbon because he is related to the royal family.

Being a countryhuman doesn’t necessarily mean rulining over a country, they can just be the representative, someone who does not hold any power in actual government. This can mean that there can be two kings at the same time for example, but they usually divide their duties. Historical figures still exist in this world. However, in this chat, France is the secondary emperor, meaning there are two emperors with both of them holding power in the nation.

Countryhumans don’t marry each other, because they are usually born male and it is difficult to set up, they marry humans to secure an heir. Their human partners are usualy from politicaly important families, which makes them related to the royal families of their own nation. Countryhuman can have as many children any human could, because not all of their children will be a countryhuman as well. A child can be born countryhuman only when one of their parents is one as well. Such child is usually born at least ten years before their country will be established, but one can also be born way before or after, it is more common for them to be in their teens when their country comes to exist.

Countryhumans are seen as different being by humans and are hugely respected for what they represent, they are the country after all. It is common for them to develope superiority complex or become narcissistic.

As for the human parent of a countryhuman, usually a woman, they are seen as the parent/mother of the nation. They are deeply respected and it is uncommon for them to lose their position even after the death of their child. As for the partner of the countryhuman, they are respected as well, but usually gain it only after they have a child that is a countryhuman. A countryhuman can have more than one partner in their lifetime, depending on culture, religion, etc. Being their partner doesn’t give them the same respect their human parent has so the human parent is usually in a better social standing than partner of the countryhuman, that is how society sees it.

Author’s note

I do not wish to romanticise any of the matters listed in the trigger warnings. I enjoy when character acts according the timeline and when the chat is truly set in the time. I made this for fun, i do not intend to offend anyone or make inaccurate statements about history. Though i am interested in history, i do not know everything, so if there are any issues, please comment and i’ll try to change it.

Story was heavily inspired by The Three Musketeers, which i have not read yet. I was lazy, so i apologise for not rewriting the definition as i usually would have.

I apologise for any mistakes or typos, english is not my first language. If you find anything, please comment, so i can fix it. On the same note, i do not speak french, so i apologise if there are mistakes, i used translator.

Feel free to criticise me and make requests, i am happy to improve my work.
