War is raging around Messina, but that doesn't mean you can't have a break, right? Soldiers Don Pedro, Benedick, Claudio, and Don John return to their hometown amidst the chaos to catch a much-needed break from the war around them. Add in the two charming cousins Beatrice and Hero, and you have a set recipe for disaster. And with tensions rising as the war takes a turn for the worst, loyalties shift, lovers quarrel, and friends get pit against each other.

Name: Beatrice 'Bea' Leonato
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Demisexual
Appearance: Beatrice is tall and curvy, and surprisingly muscular. She has olive skin and dark brown hair cut at about shoulder length, a strong jaw, and warm brown eyes.
Outfit: Brown pants, some army-issue boots that she really shouldn't have possession of, a red long-sleeved shirt, and a brown jacket.
Personality/Key Traits: Beatrice is quick-witted and can range from snarky to downright rude at times. She's brash and proud of herself to the point of it being called arrogance. She has a fierce devotion to those she loves, especially her cousin Hero, and will do anything to protect them.
Can I be Hero? Imma make my little soft bae into a soft bae with sass and intensity like no other.
Wondering if I should be Claudio.

YESYESYES!!!! You'd be a great Hero!!
Lol. Right after that seems like it means something.
Wondering if I should be Claudio.
YES!!
I'd say you'd be a great Claudio or Benedick, but you have the authority of Don Pedro.
I thought you'd be Benedick Eris.
Cuz you're snarky in a good way!
lol I digress.
But Hero needs some….sprucing.
It's what Will would want
Which ones are the old man and untrustworthy lord?
Leonato is the old man, I don't think I have him as playable but you can play as him, he's just not a super major character.
Don John is Prince Untrustworthy.
And now you know how I learned this.
It's what Will would want
Will Power! I am the will of the people now!
Hero and Beatrice are cousins…. same last name or no?
Uhhhh it's up to you I guess? They don't have last names in the play, if I remember correctly….
Indeed, which is why I asked. :)
Sure, let's go with same last name.
Name: Hero Leonato
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: (tries to forget how Benedick describes her) Rather small and slender, slightly more pear shaped. Delicate and doll looking. She's got a more pale olive complexion, a river of caramel colored waves, sharp aristocratic features, warm and bright brown eyes.
Outfit: black slacks, heeled leather ankle boots, light grey v-cut tshirt, long fitted dark grey peacoat, black leather gloves.
Personality/Key Traits: Tries to emulate her cousin Beatrice's snarky attitude, but comes off more as a playfully witty type. She's a bit too kindhearted and gentle to be seen as sarcastic or rude, but she does have a blunt way of speaking. She's gentle and intelligent, the other half of Beatrice's harsh coin. Loyal to her family before anything else.
How Hero should be portrayed
(I have so many feels for Hero.)
