  • In the world of Predania, the people only knew war. War resolved everything. The land became scarred, the population dwindled, it became dreary over the fight for power and land. Countries fought for dominance. Even if there was no clear winner in these awful battles, there was always a loser; nature. Even though everyone saw what they were causing, no one stopped it.

    Finally, many of the kings took into consideration that these wars were killing their own home. They sought to end them. In order to do so, they signed a temporary treaty, forbidding these kings from declaring war on the others. However, a treaty was not enough to bring peace. The kings planned a way to bring about everlasting peace within the houses. In order to solidify relations, they offered their oldest child for marriage. A council of the kings was called, where they decided on which children would be wed. The children of their own children would then be given to another royal family, and so on and so forth, a never ending cycle of peace through the world.

    The king who bore no children and had stayed neutral would host the princes and princesses in his own castle. Many trusted this king, as their nation had been neutral since wars began. Their fights were not his. His military prowess kept all unwanted intruders out of his country. He was a man that all the kings could place their trust in. Only time would tell if relations could be mended or if everything would fall apart.

    • I am GM, my word is law.
    • Please use the Character Sheet I provide. Feel free to use colors and other BBCode to make it pretty though.
    • Real people images only for this.
    • No posting in the IC without my approval.
    • 4 character limit for now. I may open up more if needed, but for now, there is a 4 limit.
    • Please post all characters on separate posts.
    • Put some thought into your characters please.
    • Spots are limited, first come first serve.
    • Please let me know if you will be gone for a while, or just want to quit. I don't bite. I just need to know if you'll be continuing so I can open up your spots.
    • No magic or fantasy creatures.
    • This is a medieval-based RP, so no guns or cars or anything.
    • The kings (except the neutral one) are yours to create. If you have the child of a kingdom, you may flesh out that nation's history and the king and queen. The only thing I ask, is that not all of the kings are abusive or mean, and on the flipside that not all of them are super nice and kind. Get some variation.

    • I want this to be a moderately fast paced RP, so please post once every 2-3 days.
    • I won't be strict on posting amount, but at least a minimum of 4 lines per character. I'll understand less if you have writer's block and let me know that's the issue.
    • Characters can have history with other characters, just let the other person know you want that, and work it out with them.
    • Please have decent grammar.
    • Put 'If you please, your Highness' in a bright color at the bottom of your first character sheet if you read the rules.
    • I allow cursing, so long as it's not your character's gimmick or something.
    • This is not Libertine, therefore if your characters are gonna do the sexytimes, fade to black. If you're in the same age category, feel free to take it to PMs, I can't stop you.
    • No godmode, power playing, mary/gary sues, etc.
    • NPCs exist in the form of guards and the help around the keep. The neutral king and queen is my NPC. You can interact with these people.

Starting post in the IC thread.
 
Crap I hadn't even finished my character sheet yet I don't think

Never mind I did
 
Mine will be up soon and will throw together a character sheet for my Prince. My posts will be officially up Saturday night if that is alright.
 
Sounds good! Good to keep you aboard!
 
Yeah, I understand. I'm gonna be starting a new job soon, so hopefully I won't get too bogged down with everything. Thankfully, I only have a month of school left.
 
So princess of Melekur is open, but I may have someone interested in it. If not, someone can take her.
 
For those wondering why there has been a severe lack in posting, there are some things going down that I'm just trying to figure out. Once everything is in order, we'll get going again. So please hang in there!
 
Hey ho, folks. Finally got everything in order! One spot is open, Prince of Janholt! Kerrigen may be opening soon. However, because of this I am opening the character limit to 5. If anyone feels like tackling another character, feel free to take up Janholt. I am taking Treolei. Kachina, the one who has Melekur, will be finishing hers hopefully on Friday. For now, she will be late to the party in the IC thread. I'll go ahead with everything once all the characters are made, and we can hopefully continue onward and get into the meat of the plot. I planned some evil, evil things for later on.

Which segways nicely into this question: Do you want the danger-drama (which it will be) right away, or do you guys want to get to know your fiancees before stuff happens? Love this for right away, like for wait.

If you guys really want to know, I can tell you, but it'll ruin the secret, so I'll leave that up to you guys.

tumblr_inline_nfiq4y0vts1ryv3iw.png
Personality:
Sweet- Felicity is a lovely girl. She sees the best in everyone. She is very kind, and doesn't discriminate, even against her hated enemies. Something about her just makes everyone forget their worries, and see the beauty in the world. She loves to help people in need, no matter the cost.
Compassionate- Felicity hates to see others in danger or even just some misfortune. She always concerns herself with the safety of others, and is quite matronly in that regard.
Shy- While she does love people, Felicity is still shy around those she doesn't know. She'll never be rude or turn a blind eye to them, but she doesn't open up very easily. She tends to stay quiet, and prefers listening to others speak rather than speaking herself.
Loyal- Once Felicity has a friend, she is unshakably loyal to them. She will never question her family, especially her father. She follows him no matter what, because she trusts he knows what's best for her. While this may be her downfall, she believes that trusting others and staying loyal is the only way to make connections.
Excitable- Felicity gets excited about the smallest things. She is very bouncy when surprised with gifts, and is eternally grateful because she feels as if she doesn't deserve anything special.
Optimistic- Felicity always assumes things will turn out for the best. She is rarely discouraged about the future, and is simply happy to be alive to experience it.
Physical Strengths: Cute, pretty fast for her stature, good rider.
Mental Strengths: Loyal, optimistic, loving, compassionate, intelligent.
Physical Weaknesses: Very weak, doesn't know how to use weapons, not resistant to any weather, sunburns easily.
Mental Weaknesses: Shy, naive, unwise, careless, aloof.
Likes: Flowers, perfumes, dresses, horses, reading, painting, having fun.
Dislikes: Spicy foods, hot weather, cold weather, seriousness, disloyal people.
Fears: Losing her family, her recurring nightmares, that she will marry someone who doesn't have similar values.
Secrets: She knows she's sick, but doesn't know what it is and won't tell anyone because she's afraid they'll worry about her.
Family:
Father- King Augustus Davenport, a very kind man to all of his subjects. He was a good role model for his children growing up, and continues to be one to this day.
Mother- Queen Theresa Davenport, a wonderful woman who loves people. She taught her children love and compassion above all.
Brother- Prince Jeremy Davenport, one year younger than Felicity, and her second best friend.
Brother- Prince Lysander Davenport, three years younger than Felicity.
Sister- Rosemary Davenport, six years younger than Felicity.
Adopted Sister- Alice Davenport, the same age as Felicity, but not considered full royalty. The two are practically inseparable, and are the best of friends.

Okay, still have one place open, and another place is opening, the Prince of Kerrigen. So, if anyone feels like taking those places, I would be more than grateful.
 
I think I'm going to just keep a close eye on this for now and see how much time I have in the future as I'm currently juggling finals, graduation, and starting a full-time job along with my part-time one... so I don't want to join then be inactive but it looks very interesting!
