(Based on human-Paavo.)

His name is Paavo Amadeus Baroque. A young cellist running from what many would consider a glorious past. But as a descendant of royalty and born into a family with high musical interest, he found the pressure of perfection and the grand lifestyle proved to be too much for him in his early life. He longed to be average and live a normal life, where his music was a hobby- not a legacy.

Yet, so little was known about the Baroque bloodline. At least until now...



1 ) Lord Amadeus Baroque: Little is known about the Baroque family up until Amadeus was granted the title of "Lord". Original, he was just a farmer's boy who was captured when his Finnish village was taken captive by Germanic invaders. Forced into war, he managed to escape during a battle, but after he had stolen the general's diary full of the army's strategies and plans. He turned the diary into an English general, who was helping the Finnish, who then asked Amadeus to fight by his side.

The two regained much land and won many victories. When a treaty was signed, the King of England gave Amadeus the title of "Lord" and announced the Baroque family as nobility. The deal was sealed when the princess, Lady Catherine, was married to him.

2 ) Sir Antonio Baroque: Lady Catherine and Lord Amadeus gave birth to five unhealthy children before the birth of Sir Antonio. The first five children all died before reaching the age of two. (The first died shortly after birth. The second and third were twins who died two days apart during a bitter winder. The fourth suffered from a disease. The fifth was actually kidnapped and never seen again. Their names were not recorded in the family tree, but the family had passed down their existence through the generations.)

Sir Antonio followed in his father's footsteps as a warrior. He continued to fight for the English army but remained local. Instead of helping the country take over lands, he stayed behind to help prevent other neighboring kingdoms to take land from them. Most of his life was fairly peaceful except for the few small quarrels between other nobleman. He married a neighboring lord's daughter, Lady Claire.

3 ) Sir Ludwig Baroque: Sir Ludwig was the first of the Baroques to have an interest in music, which would eventually be passed on throughout the generations for years to come. Born as nobleman as well, he spent much time at operas and at the theater while up until his father's death. When he took full control of the Baroque kingdom, he began to write his own operas to pass time as he traveled from land to land, settling disputes.

It was on an outing to a distant land that he met his wife, Lady Scarlett. She was a Duchess who was offered to him as a peace offering.

4 ) Sir Fredrick Baroque: Sir Fredrick was born in late Spring. Good weather and good health, he grew to be a strong young man. At an early age, he developed an interest in his father's works, both as nobleman and an opera writer. When he was only twelve, he was already making decisions on how the kingdom should run and started writing plays. (He was highly influenced by Shakespeare's growing popularity.)

When he took over the throne, the kingdom saw its best years. The years were very peaceful with a stable, strong economy. The villagers were beyond satisfied with his ruling and his plays began to take off. While he did not surpass Shakespeare, he still gained quite a bit of fame. One of his romantic plays is what caught the attention of a Duchess, Lady Nadia, who soon fell in love with him, making their marriage the first marriage in the Baroque family to be based on love over politics.

5 ) Sir Spencer Baroque: With a father and grandfather who had both written renowned operas and plays, Sir Spencer found himself learning to sing at an early age. He spent four years in Italy where he received special training for his voice. In his late teen years, he traveled the world as an opera singer. While touring in France, he fell in love with a nobleman's wife and violinist, Lady Emile. Desperate to have her, he began to send her love letters and would invite her to his operas alone. Eventually the two had an affair and she secretly had her husband killed in order to run away with Sir Spencer.

Sadly he had to quit at the age of twenty-five when his father died. Forced to settle back in the kingdom, the once great foundation that Sir Fredrick had created started to crumble. Unlike his ancestors before, Sir Spencer did not feel dedicated to his role as a nobleman. He loved being on stage too much to want to spend his days settling disputes and making sure villagers ran smoothly. The economy began to weaken and the people grew restless, especially with rumors of his new wife spreading through the land. The people saw him as corrupt, and threatened to rebel against him. Before his death, he had attempted to fix what he destroyed, but his efforts were fruitless.

6 ) Sir Beethoven and Sir Chopin Baroque: Sir Spencer had fathered two sons, Sir Beethoven and Sir Chopin. While both sons obviously resembled their father, their mothers were questionable. Sir Beethoven, the oldest, was definitely mothered by Lady Emile but rumors were in the land that Sir Chopin was really mothered by Sir Spencer's personal maid. Of course the family denied this...

By this time the monarch system had failed and they were told to be nothing more than figure heads. Sir Chopin was more willing to accept this than Sir Beethoven. Hungry for power, Sir Beethoven sent the last remaining loyalists he had to slaughter any who opposed him, even his younger brother. Many of the local governments were furious with the action and took away the title of royalty from him.

For quite sometime, Beethoven lived in poverty as he lived with the guilt of his actions. During his old age, he finally married a poor flautist, Maria, who gave birth to a son.

7 ) Friedrich Baroque: Friedrich was the first Baroque added to the family tree after their rights as nobleman were pulled. At the time, the family was still in poverty. Yet, the love for music never ceased. As a young child, he use to pass by the university and listen to the school's orchestra practice. One day the professor noticed him sitting outside in the rain. When asked what he was doing, Friedrich simply replied that he was just admiring the music in the warm summer rain and that it was quite refreshing.

For quite sometime, the professor use to let Friedrich sit in the classroom while they practiced. It was here that he developed a love for the cello. Desperate to learn to play, he began to practice on the school's instruments. However, he was sadly unable to afford one. Tragedy struck the professor in his late years of life. An accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. He fell into depression, but his troubles were melted away as Friedrich use to play the professor's cello for him. As gift to thank him for being such a dear friend, the professor left his cello and all his remaining savings to Friedrich in his will since he had no children of his own.

Between his inheritance and joining an orchestra, Friedrich brought the Baroque name into Upperclass once again. It was also during a tour that he met his wife, Charlotte.

8 ) Sebastian Baroque: Once again the Baroque name was tied to wealth. Sebastian was born into the wealth and lived a very luxurious life. He attended exclusive private schools and began to compose his own orchestras at the young age of ten. He was seen as a great prodigy for his time, which only brought him more fame.

Money continued to roll in as he grew older and wrote more complex pieces. One day, when he was twenty-two, he was approached by a wealthy English man and asked to write an opera piece for his daughter's , Cecilia, twentieth birthday. Upon meeting her, he fell in love with her though it remains questionable as to whether she felt the same for him. Recent rumors say that while away on opera tours, Cecilia has affairs. Not that Sebastian would notice for he seems quite occupied by his own fans as well...

9 ) Paavo Amadeus Baroque: At the time of Paavo's birth, the family had moved and settled in Finland. His middle name was of course dedicated to the memory of Lord Amadeus, for his father had high hopes for his son. Paavo original began to play the violin at a very young age but as he grew older, he found the cello to be more suitable for him. His parents questioned the sudden change in instruments while his grandfather welcomed it and even gave him his cello made in 1904.

However, unlike the rest of his family, Paavo could not stand the luxurious lifestyle. He hated the pressure both parents put upon him and he hated having a family too preoccupied with their own lives to even notice their son, unless he failed. At the age of eighteen, he ran away from home and moved to America which he has been at ever since and has not spoken to either parent.

10 ) Veronica Harper-Baroque: Veronica is Paavo's younger sister whom he knows nothing about. She is four years younger than he is, however, she never lived at the Baroque mansion. Paavo's mother had gotten pregnant on a tour with a harper (who ironically had the same name as his instrument due to coming from a line of famous harpers) and was gone during her whole pregnancy. In attempts to hide the child, Cecilia sent her away to live with a nanny and attend a boarding school. A few months after Paavo had ran away, Sebastian discovered the truth of his unknown daughter.

Veronica spent sometime getting to know her other father and heard stories of her run-away brother. It has been her dream since to one day meet up with him in America.
