IT WAS A clear night when he heard that the emperor was moving into the camp. As aide de camp of a currently-indisposed general, the sous-lieutenant had been left to his his own devices, and, with the curiosity that often got him into trouble, he had made his way to the center of the camp, taking a step closer to the camp before he felt a hand on the back of his neck. He let out a surprised OOMPH as he was pushed into the tent, stumbling and looking at the leader of the war. He’d met more leaders than he could count. He had met CAESARS and PHARAOHS and more monarchs than he could remember, but he liked coming to face with the names of history. He straightened to his full height before offering a deep bow becoming of a military man in his position (after all –– the wars were always fascinating; he couldn’t stay away). “Ah. ––– Bonsoir.”
his gray coat ( below ; the colonel’s uniform of the chausseurs à cheval ) & horizontal bicorne stand out in simplicity amongst the extravagant outfits of his maréchals , notably murat. the emperor of the canaille - such is the way the english label him , raises a surprised , inquisitive brow.
mind has already classified this individual as aide-de-camp of his maréchal , a nod to calm his peers.
“ entrez ! entrez ! ”
napoléon beckons him to approach , warm smilewritten on his face.
there’s no thing greater than his love for his men , be they mere soldiers or high-ranking officers.
“
sacrebleu, it’s cold outside. ”
hi! i’m agrippa (they/them) and i’m fourteen. i live in belgium and i speak dutch, french (un peu) , english and NONEXISTENT german. this is an independent rp blog for napoléon bonaparte ; emperor of the french, based on the comics by jacques martin, hertz: l'ombre de l'aigle and la troisième mort de l'empereur and history in general. this napoléon rp was established the sixth of november. i also take some inspiration from victor hugo , alexandre dumas and other authors of the nineteenth century. i’m private and extremely selective.
basics.
obiviously i am not napoleon bonaparte (he's been dead for nearly two hundred years) neither am i alexander karim , oscar isaac or am i affiliated to the hertz comics, to jacques martin or to lin manuel miranda. this is a blog merely for entertainment purposes - no money is made of this
i am selective and private meaning that i only interact with mutuals. sorry for that , but i've got quite a lot on my plate. that being said, this is a low activity blog.
my opinions do not match those of napoleon bonaparte. that being said , it's worth a reminder that he was born in the eighteenth century - while he was quite enlightened, some of his opinions were shit. also , this is BONAPARTE'S POV - not mine.
i do not do smut. i'm underage and i dont wanna get ya guys in trouble. though, i'm okay with innuendos and other kinds of nsfw like violence.
i don't want racism or any kind of phobia on my dash. especially antisemitism and ableism pisses me off.
triggers are tagged as TRIGGERHERE // my only trigger is insects please do tag related horror, not only imagery.
do not steal - please. i've been doing quite a lot of research to bonaparte and the other figures of his era , and it would make me sad to see you stealing stuff i worked very hard on.
due to the unique circumstances of the napoleonic era i prefer to keep this blog in it's original setting but i'm chill with adapting in various ways, especially smudging timelines. i do have a reincarnation verse , but that is all.
i have played asscreed unity, but i think it totally fucked up the french revolution - nonetheless i'm willing to interact with characters from the fandom , just expect my own takeon. aristocrats werent the nice guys of the rev & ROBESPIERRE. WAS. NOT. EVIL.
naps is pansexual, but shipping is extremely selective - i mainly ship napoleon / augustin de robespierrre (almostincorruptible) and naps / josephine bonaparte or naps / augustin / josie. he's not someone to open up quickly to someone else, and both augustin and josephine were fundamental persons in his life.
i don't do passwords , i'm sorry! i have anxiety - for the same reasons i don't have a password either!
most of the paintings / busts posted here were open source - that being said , the theme background was made by me but the psd i slapped over it was released in a psd pack by @valourslain. the icons are mine, psd was made by showmaxter , but slightly edited by me in order to make it poc friendly.
lastly - i think napoleon was poisioned on the isle of saint-helena by comte de montholon. i will write all threads appropiately. this is merely a suspicion.
what do you mean with hamilton!napoleon?
i’m using a POC fc like in the musical for a historically white character. if you don’t like that, don’t follow me. i will also actively try to integrate elements of the musical & allude to the same themes.
WHY ARE YOU ROLEPLAYING NAPOLEON? HE WAS EVIL.
please do your research and avoid british historians ;; he WASN’T. bonaparte was the most enlightened , leftist ruler of his time after the revolution. while he did do / say some shitty stuff ( eg. reinstation of slavery in the french colonies / esp sexism!! ) he was p cool. moreover, he wasn’t that warlike as we like to think. feel free to shoot me a (polite) ask if you want proof or you wanna discuss some stuff.
this is not an attempt to glorify him - i merely wanted to SHED LIGHT on the forgotten parts of his life and make sure his story is not forgotten. when it comes to history, i have read betsy balcombe's memoirs, johan opdebeeck's biographies and i am currently reading: napoléon, mon aieul, cet inconnu by charles napoléon, la révolution française by max gallo, a biography on maximilien de robespierre, louis xvi, josephine bonaparte and several original sources. moreover, i am listening to a podcast concerning naps and women. i do intend to read the entire max gallo series on bonaparte.
