Narnia

Backgrounds and Circumstances

Based on the classic Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. This takes place during the reign of the four children. Talking animals are acceptable PCs. (personal Characters.) The background of this RPG is high tension between the country of Narnia and the country of Calormene, with Archenland watching and waiting. War has not broken out yet, though the countries are close to it. Aslan the great lion has not been seen for some time and some Narnians are beginning to doubt. The royal court has formidable pressure regarding the imminent war though they have taken no action thus far.

Recent Events

We have skipped five years into the future. Here has what has happened during that time:

-Alice, Lydia, and Jason enlisted Hope to help Christopher escape from prison (he had been taken the fall for his girlfriend's, Alice, crimes.) In the process, Lydia killed a guard but set it up to look like Hope did it.

-Hope and Xavier have two children (Xavier and Sophie) but they are currently in Archenland with a good family friend- Doctor Roberts. He is seeking the aid of Alice's good friend, Elly, though whether or not she will help them is yet to be seen.

-Lydia poisoned her sister Alice but its lethal nature is doubtful whether it will work. When Alice, the twins, and the doctor escaped from Lydia, Alice sent them on to her friend but Alice herself insisted on going back for Christopher, the man she loves who was turned in to the law by Jason so as to further frame Hope.

Alice is a lady of the Narnian court, making her a target for recent attacks.
Lady Alice befriended and fell in Love with Lieutenant Christopher of Narnia. Their courtship has continued in a casual manner. Recently, Alice discovered Lydia was her half sister and then aided her in Lydia’s escape from prison. Alice accidentally killed a man but covered it up. Her boyfriend was assigned to the murder case on the contingent of a promotion over his head. Christopher was unaware of Alice’s guilt until her hurried departure. Five years later, she worked as a bartender using her nickname "Ali" as a cover. That was all over when Lydia and Jason showed up, told her what had really happened to Christopher after her escape, and convinced her to return. Alice recruited Xavier's wife, Hope, in to the foray and they escaped from a secure prison with Christopher. Later on, Alice was kidnapped by her sister but escaped. She is poisoned and thinks she is about to die so refused to flee Narnia, so as to go back for Christopher.

Lydia of Calormene ~Tanya

Lydia has worked as a bounty hunter, a spy, and an assassin in the past. She has little or no ethical codes to hold herself to so she is one of the main villains in Narnia.
As she was infiltrating the Narnian army, she met Jason, also a Calormene spy though neither of them realized they should be working together at the time. After several months, they each realized that as unlikely as it was- they were in love. A short time after this, Lydia faked her death, and Jason turned himself in to further this charade. The true purpose of doing this has yet to be revealed. When the court considered executing Jason for his crimes against the state, Lydia acted quickly, assassinating all who supported this plan. After being caught, she promptly escaped wit the aid of Alice. Following Jason's escape with the aid of his old friend, Jared, Lydia, and Jason headed back to Calormene to report to their superiors. Five years later, Lydia and Jason are married and, although they are not as adventurous as they were before, they're just as villainous as ever.
