Roles Filled: 18/24
Setting:
God Is On His Knees is set vaguely in Medieval Europe. Our court intrigue will take place in the fictional nation of Vanqland. It's not much different from England, Spain, or France at the time but is a sort of melding pot of the nations. The culture is rich and unique and known for being especially brutal when it comes to power struggle. Vanqland is located in Central Europe and has a lush forests and fertile soil as well as some of the best hunting among the nations. It has no access to the sea but is plentiful in rivers and lakes to provide fish and fresh water. There are mountains sheltering the Northern half of the country making it near impossible to invade from above and the Southern borders are heavily occupied with forts and noble land holdings. Vanqland finds itself in a time of external peace, but internally a war wages for power, favor, and even love.
Plot:
The plot for this roleplay will be fairly loose in the beginning. The King is holding court in hopes of finding suitors for his two youngest daughters but is also intending to root out his enemies. Why might the King have enemies, you ask? Well, rumor has it that King is a practicing pagan, possibly a demon worshiper, and that both of his beautiful daughters have been involved in rituals of some variety The Kingdom is largely Catholic and thus many of the nobles may not be too keen on the idea of their King, so famous for his brutality in war, does not follow their God. The King will not stand for opposition nor plottings against him. He will burn his enemies from their holes like vipers and he will secure his bloodline in his daughters' marriages. Come to court, the invitation read, come to court and forget your troubles for the Summer.
As the plot progresses, there may be a civil war in the future or an invasion with outside country. I'm more than open to ideas!
Fantasy Elements:
To add additional intrigue, I want fantasy elements included in this roleplay. I'm more than open to your ideas and your characters being more than human. I do not want this to be Percy Jackson or Twilight though, so I will exercise discretion where I see fit.
So Far:
Unicorns are rare trustworthy mounts
It is rumored phae live in the woods surrounding the palace (NPCs only for now)
Someone thinks there is a vampire at court
The King and his daughters may not be human
The King may be consorting with demons or dark deities

The Rules
1. Iwaku's Rules Apply
2. No godmodding/power playing/Mary or Gary Sues (duh)
3. Romance is allowed and encouraged. Pre-existing relationships are also completely fine. Want to be the King's mistress (male or female) let me know! Like the look of someone's character? Send them a PM! As long as it isn't without the character owner's permission I don't care what you do. Oh, and sexy times are to be taken to private message unless you're a minor and then they will be taken no where!
4. Violence and combat are bound to come up at some point. I recommend talking out how the fight will go before hand. Be realistic and if someone ends up dying, you are more than welcome to make a new character.
5. I reserve the right to reject characters for any reason but if I believe they can be saved I will advise you on how to edit them.
6. Multiple characters are fine but for now let's cap it at 2 characters per player.
7. Want some secrets going down? Pm me! Want to suggest a plot point? PM me! Have an idea for a character that goes beyond what's listed above? Just ask!
8. The role cap is currently at 20 but I'm more than happy to raise it once we get things going.
9. Forgot this up there, I want at least a couple of solid paragraphs per post unless it's dialogue or combat. Please post as often as you can.
10. Ummm. Yeah. Have fun?
