The Vellcar Clansmen | Original want ad with more details
Family overview: The chief is looking sick, so there'll be a succession plot soon. The chief has three children eligible for taking leadership, and four grandchildren who are also viable options. All names are open (though I'd like to keep the Gaelic theme) and the FCs aren't set in stone either as I am terrible at picking out family resemblances. There's more details in the original want add but here are the basics:
The patriarch
Gradpappy Vellcar | Pyxis
Possible FC - Kenneth Branagh
Key traits - The patriarch of the Vellcar family and the chieftain. He hasn't been looking too good recently since the loss of his wife.
The first generation
Eldest son | OPEN
Possible FC - Damian Lewis
Key traits - Family orientated, responsible, confident, commanding, and the most obvious choice for succession.
Second son | Maybe Pyxis
Possible FC - Michael C. Hall
Key traits - Caring, compassionate, sensible, confident, rational, reasonable, and family-orientated.
Only daughter | OPEN
Possible FC - Julianne Moore
Key traits - Self-assured, motherly, fearless, the most capable warrior of the three children.
The second generation
The eldest | OPEN
Possible FC - Domhall Gleeson
Key traits - Level headed and quick thinking, strong, capable, and the eldest of the second generation.
The middle child | OPEN
Possible FC - Stefano Masciolini
Key traits - Calm, rational, sensible, a soothing presence, and introspective
The eldest cousin | OPEN
Possible FC - Nicholas Skidmore
Key traits - Adventurous and full of wanderlust, free spirited, wants to see the world. A better hunter than a fisherman.
The second son of the second son | OPEN

Key traits - Spiritual, lover and collector of stories, Moire's best friend- the two were inseparable as children
Other possible FCs:
Toby Stevens, Kevin McKidd, David Wenham, Sean Bean, Sam Heughan
Eleanor's Family | Aralorian perfumers
Creators and purveyors of Aralore's finest (at least they like to think so) perfumes. A generally nice family with no complex history. I would love for something to shake up what had been a happy upbringing for Eleanor. Perhaps one of her parents is having an affair? Her younger sister has decided she doesn't want to go into the family business after all and that's caused a rift to form in the family? Come help me destroy a happy family!

Father | OPEN
Possible FC - Christian Slater
Key traits - Loves his daughters and dotes upon them when he's not in 'the laboratory', constantly working on a new fragrance, easily lost in his work. Once forgot to eat for four days because he had to get the process of extracting a particular fragrance oil just right.
Mother | OPEN
Possible FC - Miranda Otto
Key traits - Has a mind for business, great with numbers, a little dry but loves her daughters greatly. She's the one who has turned her husband's perfumery into a business famed not just throughout Aralore: but the world. No-nonsense.
The Lee Frye boys | A mystic military family
There are a lot of DeGraffs now, why not even the odds a little bit? Names (as long as they're Scots/Gaelic) and FCs are completely flexible and the personalities are more guidelines anyway. The whole family are mystics, and fire grammyre tends to favour the bloodline, though this isn't a requirement- if you want to play a character with water/earth/air/spirit grammyre then that's completely cool too!

Robert Lee Frye | @lunari
Possible FC - Ian McShane
Key traits - Military minded, Robert is proud of his family and how so many of his children followed his footsteps. Always pushed his children to be the strongest, the fastest, and the fiercest rather than supporting them emotionally- that was his wife's job. He doesn't handle emotions or shows of emotion all that well. Noble and dignified, he is a good man and a good father (think Ned Stark vibes). Somehow he has managed to keep his family safe and out of scrutiny throughout the war on mystics. Grandfather was Tresterian who married a Teronnaian (they split their time between the two nations), he only settled in Teronna permanently after marrying Catrìona.
Catrìona Lee Frye | Pyxis
Possible FC - Monica Bellucci
Key traits - Proud of the mystic heritage of her family, has passed this pride onto her children. Cautious and sensible, she was the grounding force in a houseful of energetic boys (and Aoife). Sings nigh on constantly with the sweetest voice. Closer to her younger children. Had a wild streak in her youth (it is still there somewhere) but has tempered a lot as the matriarch of a big family close to the crown.
Uailean Lee Frye | Lunari
Possible FC - Roman Reigns
Key traits - Married with three young children
Malcolm Lee Frye | Pyxis
Possible FC - Sebastian Stan
Key traits - Married with two young children
Eòghann Lee Frye | Aquila
Possible FC - Çagatay Ulusoy
Key traits -
Ciaran Lee Frye | Lunari
Possible FC - Avan Jogia
Key traits - Has at least one illegitimate child, the wild child of the family.
Iain Lee Frye | Soleil
Possible FC - Tyler Posey
Key traits -
Séamus Lee Frye | @aquila
Possible FC - Cody Christian
Key traits - The older twin by 34 minutes, acts like the younger one.
Seoras Lee Frye | Pending
Possible FC - Carter Jenkins
Key traits -
Dani's ex-husbands | Third time wasn't the charm
Dani has been unlucky in love, three marriages over and done with before she was thirty. The second husband may have died- and very happily by all accounts, however husbands one and three still survive. Husband one was in the military, Dani cheated on him extensively, the divorce was mostly amicable... but Dani and he are not on good terms now at all. Husband three was Dani's favourite, and she does still love him in her own special way- the two are friends, but he will need to watch his back when Drew deGrey is around. FCs are pretty open as Dani doesn't really have a 'type' so to speak, though it would be fun if they had nice hair so they and Drew could have been in some unspoken competition.

Open first name Leroux | OPEN
Possible FC - free rein
Key traits - Age -mid thirties to mid forties? Not too particular about age so long as he is older than 34. Military minded, the man is a man of honour and was embarrassed to find his wife had cheated on him. Took it as a hit to his manhood rather than a lack of attention on his part (he was away with the military a lot and Dani needs lots of attention. It has been over a decade since he and Dani divorced so he could have done anything since they were together- rose up the ranks in the military perhaps? Or left the military and taken up another profession? Maybe he went off the rails a little from the shame of what would have been a very influential match falling through.
Julien Debienne | Lunari
Key traits - Age would be mid to late thirties, maybe into forties? No more than 42. Dani's favourite husband and favourite marriage. The two are really good friends still and often see each other when Dani is in Tresteria. They separated because they wanted different things, Dani wanted to travel and see the world, he wanted to stay home. There's no bitterness between them but they both often wonder what might have been had things been different. Full of energy and full of life, this man loved fun just as much as Dani did- when the two were together they had an amazing time, full of laughter and jokes. Dani wasn't prepared for how much she loved him, and left him so she wouldn't hurt him (but she never told him that).
