character development
we want all the characters here to be developed to their highest potential, so we have a board that focuses strictly on your character, their thoughts and feelings, etc. it's also a good way to provoke muse when it's gone into hibernation or to spend it if you do not have an apt outlet for it.

piccadilly
piccadilly is a major london street, running from hyde park corner in the west to piccadilly circus in the east. it is completely within the city of westminster. until the 17th century the street was known as Portugal Street. yhe name Piccadilly arises from a tailor named robert baker, who owned a shop on the strand, in the late 16th century and early 17th century. he amassed a large fortune by making and selling piccadills (also called picadils or pickadils—stiff collars with scalloped edges and a broad lace or perforated border), that were then in fashion. With his great fortune he purchased a large tract of what was then open country to the west of london, and in about 1612 he built a large house there. the mansion soon became known as piccadilly hall. thus, piccadilly.
