In this RP you will play the role of an imprisoned prince that passed his life in a prison tower on the order of his older brother the king, who did not want any rivals to his throne. The tower was luxurious, but it did not change the fact that it was a prison and that the prince had the bare minimum to his station. Day in and day out the prince languished, until the war waged against the neighbouring country took his Royal brother's life. The prince was free, and could now wage with his other brother for his birthright, the throne and crown of the Kingdom.

The tale start there, where your character will be told of his new station and freed, free to wither compete for the throne or try to escape and be hunted down by the whole Kingdom. This game will have myself as a Game Master and will be a mix between Time Management, RPG, Strategy and even Dating Sim games, with the Prince having to grow stronger both physically, mentally and politically.

The first step would be to step out of his cell and make his first decision: Fight for the throne or run away?

This rp will also have an element of exploration to it, as the Prince explore, his world too will stretch and expand.

Hi Artsy, is this a One on One roleplay?
 
Nope, though it may as well be because it don't seem very popular :(.

Do you perchance want to join :3?
 
So this is a group game...?

You have multiple princes?
 
Yes, there is more than one prince. How many there are depends on the players. Here is the new ad for it, it may answer some of your questions:

Caged Bird is a game that is a mix between a RPG and a Dating Sim (with allies in place of dates) that was just created and is looking for players to play the universal role of a prince that was just liberated from his tower prison where he passed the entirety of his young life. His brother the king was the perpetrator of this injustice as he did not want any rival for his throne. The imprisonment would have gone on for many a year if not for the royal brother's death in the perpetual war between the nations of the land, the king dying without heirs and therefore leaving the throne empty. Thus your prince find himself free and with two choices; either run away and risk being hunted down by his more ambitious brothers or take a shot for the throne, a long an perilous journey rife with obstacles.

The game have your character exploring with the world with myself, as the GM, posting the world reaction to your character's actions afterwards. The game will start in summer with each day being cut into four even pieces: Morning, Midday, Evening and Night. Each piece will hold one sole event for your character that he will have to either overcome of complete before continuing forward.

If your character choose to bid for the throne, three paths to power will open to him. He could become king by either becoming a powerful warlord, a wise leader (or a despot) or becoming a rich debonair that brought his way to the throne. A combination of those is of course possible and even encouraged.

Your character will have a character sheet with his stats and other important info not included in his bio, that sheet should always be up to date. You should also post at least a good paragraph per post.

I hope to see you and your prince soon!

So... all the players are brothers of the king... who died without any heirs... but there are more ambitious brothers played by NPCs... who the players have to overcome?
 
Pretty much, yes, though if other players joined they would be competition as well.
 
So if other players joined they would be other brothers to the king, as well as the original player and the NPCs?
 
Yup, so that's why I will keep the NPCs to one or two particularly nasty princes, the other NPCs will be regular citizens or nobles.
 
And would the regular citizens have a claim to the throne as well?
 
No, they would be here for the ally making part of the game, giving bonuses or maluses depending on how the encouter did go and helping or arming the Princes' reputation and/or chances for the throne.
