The Gorosei during the Void century, art by my co-lore creator @genri-o

-Was took into the Saint Vlad's Orphanage when he was just one year old by an unknown person
-After leaving the Orphanage at 16, he started studying law in the prestige Royal Law Academy that he has been saving for his whole life

Ethan-Born in the Year of Sun 596 AF
(47 y.o. in 643 AF when it all begun)
-Born as an orphan in the land of Wano
-At 5, he was found starving in the streets by shogun Kozuki Saisho and his men, who then took him in as his son.
-For the next twelve years he was trained by the greatest blade master in that time, Lunarian named Andaiell Daerlion, with his younger brother Sutara (who he greatly envied due to the fact that he was Saisho's biological son, and therefore was shown more love then Ethan recieved)
-At age 18, he became one of the Moon Guards, elite group of twenty samurai directly operating under Shogun and protecting his and his family's life.
-Ethan had medicore education, despite being adopted into the royal family he never recieved any royal title nor any proper education as he should have (Wano still had strict rules when it came in their 4 Classes: 1. Royal family, 2. The Church of Moon, 3. Nobles, 4. Commoners) and so he is terrible at math and had to hone his reading skills by reading many books and poems. He was naturaly skilled in caligraphy though
-He adopted the name Ethanbaron after the creation of the WG, and he still mostly responds if people call him Nusjuro since he lived with that name most of his life
Saturn-Born in the Year of Sun 598 AF
(45 y.o. in 643 AF when it all begun)
-Born as the only child of royal Jay Garcia bloodline, son of king Methone and queen Anthea of the Greecion Kingdom
-Lost his mother at the early age of four as she died of miscarriage and then his father at the age of twelve after he died of an unknown illness
-Became the king month after, recorded in the Royal Cronicles: Year of Sun 610 AF
-He was spoiled a lot when he was a child, especially by his father who taught him a lot about politics. Most nobles and members of Grecion Royal Court tried to manipulate him and treated him like a snobby child, which of course he was, but he was much more dangerous and smarter then they thought and quickly got rid of oposition whilst he grew in power
-When he grew older, the passion he and his mother had for science grew larger and at the age of fourteen he atended the Academy of Sciences and graduated at the age of seventeen with honourifics
-In the Year of Sun 620 he was wedded to princess Tethys Saerlios, who was still eighteen at the time
-He was opposed to this at first, he had never met her after all, and had no idea what she was like
-The first time they met was in a lab Saturn thought belonged to one of the Royal physicians, but was surprised to find a young woman fixing a star-ship's motor. Not realizing it was Tethys , since she was dressed in an engineer's clothes stained with oil and lab glasses he came closer
-The first thing Tethys said to him and she was still with her back turned to him was: "Could you hand me that screwdriver over there?"
-Saturn was dead set on marrying that woman
-At the dinner table Saturn realized that the princess he was supposed to marry and that messy engineer from the lab before were the same person
-They married after a year, recorded in tue Royal Cronicles: Year of Sun 621 AF
-After 6 years, they had their first child and heir to the Greecion Kingdom, Jay Garcia Dione and 3 years later they had daughter, princess Jay Garcia Rhea
-Saturn and Tethys became one of the most influencial people of their time with their inventionsa and scientifical/engineering knowledge aslo the fourth wealthiest in the All Blue
Mars-Born in the Year of Sun 589
(54 y.o. in 643 AF when it all begun)
-Born as the third son of the royal Mars bloodline of Aurelion Kingdom, son of King Deimos III. and queen Aurelia
-His older brothers, Feobos and Sandos died in hunting "accident" in 598 AF and his mother, Aurelia commited suicide three months after
-Mars became king at the age of eighteen after his father, who grew mad with grief died in Trail of Sun by Mars' hand as he was unfit to rule and almost brough Aurelion to ruin, recorded in Sun's Cronicles of Aurelion; the Year of Sun 607 AF
-At the age of 35 he went to war with the ruler of Themisto Isles, the King of Storms, Shepherd Ju Krono, after the man invaded one of Mars' allied kingdoms for the goal of conquest
-The war was known as The Falcon War and took three years till Mars defeated Krono on battlefield, killing him with his own sword the Stormfeather. The end of the war was recorded to be established in 627 AF
-Since Krono died, Mars was debating on the peace treaty with Krono's only son and the Crown Prince, Shepherd Ju Peter who became the new king of Themisto islands at the young age of 13
-He took the boy as his son two years after, since it was discovered Mars was unable to have children so his bloodline would die there. (And he seemed rather fond of the sassy child)
Peter-Born on the Year of Sun 614 AF
(29 y.o. in 643 AF when it all begun)
-Born as a child out of wedlock of king Shepherd Ju Krono and unknown woman, theorised to have been a commoner
-Since Krono had no other child and never married due to his how shall I say... flirty personality, he had no other choice but to legitimize Peter and name him his heir and Crown Prince
-Whilst growing up, Peter was mostly looked down upon due to his "stained blood-status" and never had any great relationship with his father, but he still loved him nonetheless
-He became king after his father Krono died at the age of 47 by the hand of an enemy, king Marcus Mars
-He became fondof the man after meeting him, as he was the only person who took him seriously despite his young age an little of experience as a ruler
-They became rather close for the next two years and Peter was not really surprised when Mars offered an allience and then proposed the Rite of Two (a ritual with sake cups, bur much mire complicated then the one origanting from Wano)
-Despite The Falcon War and the tragic death of his biological father, Peter never felt any hate or negative emotion towards Mars, as he understood that it was Krono who was the agressor
-Peter even offered to adopt Mars' name, but the king refused.
They are not eaxctly devil fruit users, because they never eaten the fruits containing their yokai powers, rather they were given to it by Mu (details for later asks).
I will show you Jay Garcia family, also @genri-o 's artworks, later on in the ask (if you ask for them of course)

I LOVE THIS I LPVWEEE THIS WAAHHH đđ YOUR LORE ANS HCS ARE SO GOOD
THIS JUST HIT ME BUT what does nusjuros parents look like...WERE THEY GOOD TO HIM OR BAD...... also is long haired kid nusjuro real in your lore
The Shogun of Wano, Kozuki Saisho and his wife Kozuki Atsumako were really nice to him, knowing how hard his life must have been before he was adopted and taken into their home. Despite that, it was quite obvious that Atsumako favoured her biological son over Ethan with how much physical affection she shown him and how restrained she was with Ethan even in privacy.
Saisho's favouritism wasn't that visible as he tried to treat both of his sons equally. But it could be seen on how the nobles and even serverants scorned him, scrunching their noses at the "commoner filth" he brough with himself into the royal palace. Or how Saisho's friends from high noble houses such as Akatsuki and Kurozumi wanted to change Saisho's mind and return the "peasant boy" where he belonged.
+The poor education he recieved speaks for itself I suppose
---
Now, about the hair thing. During the Void Century, Wano was very strict culture with both strict laws and traditions and everyone from all four Classes had to go by them or else they were severly punished. And this goes even for hairstyles and hair decoration.
4th Class; The Commoners
-Had to wear their hair short as possible, max. lenght was right with the chin. An inch lower would be a death sentence
-They couldn't wear any hair ornaments, as that would be an insult to the 3d Class; the Nobility, which ment they'd lose their head
-They couldn't shave their heads bald, as that would be an inault to the 2nd Class; The Clerky, which, again, would mean they'd lose their heads. Old people, or people with illnesses had to wear wigs
-They couldn't wear their hair long as that would mean they were not simply insulting the royal family, but they tried to imitate their style as well, which again, off with their heads
3d Class; The Nobility
-Could wear their hair longer, max. lenght was right under the shoulder blades. An inch lower and you know what happens next
-For noblewomen: When they were unmarried, their hair had to be tied in a high bun with red, or pink, or purple ribbon, not a single hair loose.
When they were married, they could let their hair loose a bit, although the high bun was still there and now that they had a husband/wife, they could add jewelry of any kind.
If their husband/wife died, then they could no longer wear their jewelry as an act of mourning, and used white ribbons to tie their hair, as white was seen as the funeral colour
-For noblemen: When they were unmarried, their hair had to be tied in a low and shirt ponytail so it would still go with the preferable lenght.
After marriage, the men wore their hair in a similiar fashion of their husbands/wives. Tied in a high bun by a purple, or green, or blue ribbon with only one jewelry piece in hair.
If their husband/wife died, men were forced to cut off their bun and shave the left half of their head clean for three months whilst wearing a white band of silk around their forehead to indicate they were still mourning
2nd Class; The Priests
-Both men and women who chose to follow either the Way of Sun, which worshipped Sun God Nika (and was the minor religion in that current era, only 20% followed) and the Way of Moon which worshippeed the Moon Godess Tsumara (and has been the vast major religion for atleast four hundred years since the first temple was built in Wano) had to wear their head shaved clean as a way of showing they cared not for rules of mortals and only obeyed the gods
1st Class; The Royal Family
-The Royal family wore their hair long and never stylized in buns or any kind of tails unless they had to go out in public or had to meet with guests of honour in their or other households
-They wore were few ornaments in their hair, and that was still only allowed for the women in the family
---
Ethan was allowed to have his hair grow long only after a very heated argument between the Shogun and his friends, and still only after he reached he was fifteen.
SOBBSSSA I LOVE THIS SM
Hello !! I was wondering what kind of relationship the gorosei have in your lore (good, bad, professional, friendly..)and does it change after they joined the WG ? Thank you so much in advance your work on their lore is amazing đ„°
Aaw, thank you so much! That really warmed my heart! đ„șđ
Pre-WG creation
Mars:
PeterâHis son and future heir to both Aurelion and Themisto Isles as Mars wrote it. Despite not sharing a drop of blood with him, he loves the boy as any father could love his son, you may even call him protective when it comes to Peter's safety and well being (so beware on which end of his sword you are standing at)
SaturnâA fellow monarch and respectable man, enough to get well with him. Thanks to his and Tethys' inventions and discoveries the world's technology grew rapidly fast, even in his kingdom. +He is a father of two kids, so Mars relates to most things that go in his head, especially when it conserns his younger daughter, Rhea.
EthanâRespects his loyality and skill with sword which is very incredible, since Mars himself uses sword in battle.
WarcuryâHe views Warcury as a very just man, who seemingly despises nobility and monarchs in his kingdom, but can get along with others (as long as they are not pompous pricks that is)
Peter:
MarsâHis dad and role model. Unlike with Krono, his biological father, the relationship he has with Mars is much more warmer and they show affection to each other even in public, which is nice.
SaturnâDoesn't like very much, thinking he is neglecting Dione and Rhea in order to pursue his ambition of making a "better world"
EthanâA very cool uncle-figure (Poor Ethan has no idea Mars views him as a competition. Marcus "No one takes my son away from me" Mars being protective 24/7) and good swordsman. Wants to get lessons from him by their fighting styles seem too different
+Ethan is not very good with kids
WarcuryâVery stern and philosophical man. Peter views him wity respect and awe, because it seems that nothing can budge with this man once his judgement has been told.
Saturn:
PeterâDoesn't view him as a king, bur rather a child that still needs to be taught proper manners and ways in politics and ruling kingdoms. Won't stop his friendship with Dione though, because it is the happiest he has seen tue boy since Tethys died
MarsâFellow monarch and father, so he understands most of Mars' worries when it comes to Peter. Doesn't like how he treats the young boy as a king of his own kingdom, however. He should be the one ruling Themisto Islands until Peter reaches his eighteenth nameday
EthanâAlthough a memember of Shogun's family, he doesn't view him as royality due to his blood statusm Still a respectable swordsman and potential teacher for Dione and Rhea
WarcuryâWon't believe that this man's pursue of justice is pure as everyone think so. Saturn believes that everyone can be corrupted, and there must be something Warcury would do to keep his mouth shut. After realizing his grave mistake, he came to a conclusion that no, Warcury wouldn't do that because that would taint his honour. (Saturn became rather fond of the Supreme Judge after that discovery)
Ethan:
MarsâGood king and father. Kinda envies the relationship he has with Peter, sibce he never got that amount of love from either of his parents
PeterâUnlike Saturn, he already views him as a righteous ruler of his kingdom and is quite proud of how capable the boy is as a king
SaturnâThinks of him as a very similiar person to Shogun. A father that tries his best, but still puts the wellbeing of his country above his loved ones. Although for Saturn it is also the whole world.
WarcuryâRespects him a lot, ewpcially his cold resolve and willingness to put kings and queens down onto their heels if he doesn't view them just enough
Warcury:
MarsâA capable ruler and very honourable in his opinion. Too protective of his adopted son however, and that protectivness hinders his oublic image
PeterâLike Saturn, he doesn't view Peter as a king due to his very young age and fiery personality.
+That boy could be taught some manners. His sass can get on his nerves sometimes
EthanâHighly respects his loyality and sense of justice. Someone like him could be needed in the Royal Court of Slaviugia
SaturnâAfter tha accusation and questioning of his resolve, Warcury decided that Saturn is just as high-nosed as the Tsar and nobility in his kingdom and not even his inovations and discoveries will change his mind. Surprisingly enough, the man started apologizing with bouquets of black lilies, (Warcury's favourite flowers which only grew in western side of Slaviugia), expensive dinners and gods know what else (the fact that he started thinking of Saturn more then a simple acquaintance is another story)
Post-WG creation
Mars, Warcury and Ethan have purely professional relationahip, and more on the good side of it I suppose
Mars and Saturn have strong rivalry like Sanji and Zoro, but there is so much resentment between eachother and some sort of hate as well (Neither Mars or Peter ever forgave for what Saturn did to Dione and Rhea)
Saturn and Warcury have definitely, surely purely professional relationship (very married old men yaoi vibes)
Everyone and Peter have a "never wanted a child but a got a child anyway" relationship. Except Mars. He loves Peter and after 900 years his protectivness grew only stronger
HELP THW WARCURIES đ and oh my GOD I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO DIONE, RHEA AND LILI đ
WHAT IF....WHAAAT IFF.... THE PRE-WG GOROSEI MEET THE POST-WG GOROSEI
How would they react to eacjother đ like pre-wg saturn interacting with post-wg saturn....
It would be hilarious for the first two minutes but then it would be just purely pain and angst.
Saturn would be trying to find out from his older version where are Dione and Rhea, but the older Saturn would be very reluctant to answer because that's a touchy topic he still can't move on from
Small Peter gawking at how tall he gets to be, but also kinda sad, because he doesn't see Lili anywhere. He would have expected her to be alive as well, so where is she? Adult Peter can't say anything because it would hurt his younger self and he wants for him to live the last few years of happiness he has with his dad. Then it all turns into hell.
Younger Mars asking his older self if Peter is safe. Older Mars replying: "He is safe for now." Which wasn't very satisfying answer.
Both Ethans are just sparing in the backround for two totally normal reason.
1. Older Ethan hasn't had a good fight in four hundred his years, the last one being with Ryuma (and now his swordboyfriend is dead) and he really wanted a good challange
2. Younger Ethan wanted to know how strong his older self is and so he decided to go all out.
Both older and younger Warcury are just standing in the backround observing their respective four whilst while playing mind games on eachother (older Warcury has the upper hand)
