This is a 1x1 RP between PopeAlessandros and PrincessOfMyBedroom, not us, don't post. Also, M/M, don't like, don't read!


Base Premise:

A new servant comes into the palace, this one with a sharp tongue. Acting with reproach when he spots the prince getting fresh with one of the maids, he catches not only the prince's wrath, but his interest.

~*~*~*~*~*~

So, do you wanna start with setting, or plot?

I think setting would be better. Then we can build the plot off of that.

Just a warning, it is the day before Thanksgiving, so I have a lot of stuff to do today. Cooking, cleaning, errands, so I may not be on much.

Most of the stuff we do tomorrow but there's a desert we make every year that's an all day thing and has to sit overnight. So we have to do it today. And the grandparents are coming so the house has to be cleaned.

Okay! So! My thoughts on setting. . . .I like having my RP in worlds that are like earth or can be likened to earth, but are not earth so we don't have to worry about historical and geographical accuracy. For royal types like this I work well with English, Romanian, Japanese, and Rome style set-up, or a mix of any of those. It's up to you :P I think, landscape wise, since I have some little ideas here and there, somewhere not too far from an ocean but with plenty of rolling countryside and some lightly wooded areas would be nice. Once we figure out the royal type set we can work on the palace/castle itself along with the city set-up. . . .Soooo, can't wait to hear back from you on that :P I think the country should be somewhere in a peace time, but maybe with some underground war thing brewing so that we can have some added underlaying drama, but only if you want :P

I agree with Earth like, but not Earth world. So it still has rivers and forests and cities and all that stuff. I'm a lot more familiar with English and Japanese style royals, so I would prefer to use those, but if we want to use the other two, all I have to do it Google it. So that shouldn't be a problem.

I like all of your ideas really. It all sounds fine to me. War drama is always nice in these types of roleplays. Makes things a little more... I hate to use the word interesting, but for the sake of not having another word in mind, I'll use it.

I've got some ideas on the royal family, so I'll share those with you once we figure out what type of royals they are.

I think and English Japanese mix would be cool. Japanese style architecture, mix or English and Japanese style garb, English style town layout with stone buildings and a mix of rolling countryside and grassy wooded areas with pretty streams and rivers? Sleep in beds not on futon, but the short little tables with cushions :P Emperor and Empress, but able to be ruled by either. In other words, if this is the Empress's homeland, she's he head honcho and hubby is the tagalong, and vice versa?

Sorry, I ramble. I'm glad you like my ideas :P War drama does indeed tend to make things a little more interesting *Grin*

Feel free to drop your ideas! If they conflict with what I said above that's fine, nothing is set in stone, I was just popping off some thoughts :P

I'm really liking the English Japanese mix so far. I think for the garb they should use kimonos and yukatas or more informal clothing, but have English suits and dresses for more formal stuff.

As for my ideas for the royal family. I think there should be more than one child, another prince or two, or maybe a princess. The Emperor should be the one in charge for this generation and he should be a fair ruler who is loved by the people. For the Empress I was thinking a bit along the lines of the Dragon Empress from Chinese history. Started out as a something lowly like a concubine or maid and worked her way up to Empress. So people may not have seen her as a worthy match at first, but she proved to them that she was in fact worthy by guiding her husband through some tough choices that only a woman would really know how to deal with.

That's all I've got so far.

Can we swap that around? The Japanese style stuff formal and English stuff informal? Just a personal thought process with me but I've always seen kimono and hakama as more dignified. Also, glad you like the mixing.

Siblings would be fun. OH! We should totally have one of the sibs notice the prince likes the servant and try to woo the servant away before the servant catches on that the prince likes him :P That would be funny :P Hmmmmmm. . . . .*Grin* Let's go with concubine. I like the idea that maybe, the prince always planned on having a harem, since his father has one, and then just blowing up that whole future plan because he fell into legitimate love :P Let one of his siblings carry on the bloodline :P *Giggles* *Likes to fight the system a lot*

I can agree with that stuffs. Good ideas.

Any idea you wanna add about the actual kingdom? I think it should be a large city, with plenty of nooks and crannies that can be used for fun plot stuff, but the surrounding area would be farm land, and the fishing village on the edge of the ocean a few miles away should be under the emperor's rule as well of course and could be used for some fun shenanigans :P

Yeah sure, kimonos as formal wear it is.

We should totally do that. Sibling rivalry could add another layer of drama to the whole thing. And drama is always fun. And I kind of have a thing for awkward love triangles.i

I like the ideas for the kingdom. I have my own ideas for a couple of the areas in the city to add to the drama. A red light district, because those are always fun. Maybe the sibling trying to take the servant away from the prince could bring one of both of the characters there. The other one is some sort of thieves district. Somebody from there could try and assassinate one of the royal family, or our characters could get lost in there or something.

Had a little more time than I thought. So here's my character. I can change the age if needed.

Name: Kale Arnon

Race: Human

Age: 19

Height: 5' 8"

Weight: 146lbs

Hair: Thick, somewhat fluffy, dirty blonde. Goes down just past the shoulders and is mostly tied up in a pony tail.

Eyes: Round shaped and large, emerald green in color.

Skin: Fair with a light dusting of freckles across his nose and cheeks. His hands and feet are callused. There are a few scars on his person, mainly the normal childhood ones and one or two from working. There's a small burn scar on his stomach from when he accidentally leaned a little too far trying to reach something and bumped the stove.

Build: Thin and gangly. There's not much in the way of muscle, but there's also not any fat. He has long limbs, especially his legs. His skinny body holds surprising amounts of strength.

Clothes: His normal uniform is black pants and white button up shirt, along with a gray vest, matching tie, and a pair of black work boots. Though he refuses to wear the tie and prefers to go barefooted.

Accessories: He secretly keeps a small blue stone pendant on a thin silver chain underneath his shirt. One of the very few valuables he has.

Powers/Skills: Kale is very good at climbing and hiding, he has near perfect balance and is quick and agile. He isn't incredibly strong, but has enough strength to do his work. He knows how to stay quiet, he just refuses to.

General Personality: Strong willed and sharp tongued. He can out stubborn just about anyone. He's nearly fearless and certainly isn't afraid to stand up to people. He has some trust issues, but once you earn that trust he'll never betray you. He's adventurous, creative, and has a good imagination. Not a good combination when you're a servant in a big castle. You tend to get into some trouble. He's the tiniest bit masochistic, he doesn't get off on pain, but he doesn't dislike it either. A little bit of pain is a good thing every once in a while. He hates authority and people who think they're better than others, and will stop at nothing to defy them. Underneath his tough exterior he's kind hearted and protective of the people he cares about. He likes to help people and will forget about his own safety and well being when theirs is involved.

Background: Born and raised in a more poor part of the kingdom. He's been working every since he's been old enough to do so. He had a younger sister, but she was born sickly and didn't live very long. Him and his parents lived together small, run down, house. It wasn't much, but it kept them warm and dry. As he got older, he decided that he wanted his parents to be able to stop working and live out the rest of their days in comfort. So he took to stealing, not thinking about what would happen to him if he got caught. He got really good at it, being able to slip into the house of a richer family and get back out without them even knowing he was there. Only he got too cocky and went for a house that was too much for him. He was captured and after being beaten and spending a night in a cell, he was placed on a trial. They decided that because of his skills, they wouldn't kill him or anything like that. Instead they put him to work, making him a servant at the castle to give the kingdom back what he took. And because the castle was in need of new servants, due to a group of escapees that were caught and killed.

Hi, sorry it took so long. RL been kicking my behind. I hope you like him :P

Name: Elistro(El) Dubabarak

Race: Human

Age: 22

Height: 6' 1”

Weight: 152lbs

Hair: Jet black, straight, waist length, bangs the same length as the rest. Left loose save for formal occasions in which it's simply clipped up in the back. Bangs are parted down the middle.

Eyes: Faint silvery blue, pleasantly sharp.

Skin: Alabaster.

Build: Fencer build.

Clothes: In his time off he wears poet shirts in a variety of solid colors, left loose across the chest, and thick tight ridding pants, either black or white, bare feet. At social evens he wears a simple kimono and hakama ensemble of either solid colors or solid color with a large flower design(Kimono, and the hakama is always black. White tabi and classic sandals on the feet, and a dark colored haori completes the outfit. He sometimes wears his haori around for fun over his normal garb.

Accessories: Year shaped earring dangling from left ear, the symbol of his house, a lavender leaf, trapped inside the material that makes up the blue gem like dangly bit. The earring is his only adornment except when he puts up his hair, and is what shows his status as prince. Rapier scabbard with the waist belt, black.

Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Excellent fencer, can always find his way back along a path he trodden, and is an exceptional artist.

General Personality: Quiet and unassuming most of the time. When he sets his mind to something nothing short of an act of god can stop him from pursuing it until either he gets what he wants, or it becomes clear that he never will. He loves his family, though at time he finds them insufferable, and will protect them without question. He has grown up with a natural superiority complex that, given his status and upbringing, is actually rather low compared to his siblings. He is prone to fits of stubbornness and jealousy, though he is quiet about them, seeking solitude rather than making a show if it. He is very forward with what he wants most of the time, but when it seems more fun to do so he makes a game out of things, even very serious matters. He likes what he likes, and pays everything else little attention.

Background: As the third child in a line of five, two older brothers and a set of twin younger sisters, El ha never had any high expectations put on him. While his older brothers were taught to be rulers, since should the eldest die it would fall to the second born, and his little sisters are likely going to be married off one day, possibly together to the same prince, Elistro has had most of his time to himself. The first born, Garrett, was born to a different mother from his father's harem, however their mother loves him all the same and adopted him after the woman died. The second born, unlike Garrett, took after their father in looks, and now Louis looks just like the man save for being years younger. Jin an Gan were a surprise to say the least, as the likeliness of twins in this era is small, however the mother has dotted on them since they were born.

El looks much like his mother, a few sharper features from his father making him more hansom than his elder bothers, though because of his feminine features he has heard no end of teasing from the two. Even his sisters lay in on him at times, however his face has made him quite popular with the lords and ladies from other lands. He learned early on however that while they enjoyed a good romp with him, that was all they ever wanted, his elder brothers more fitting “Prizes” in their eyes. This has depressed him to no end and lead him to believe that that is how everyone will always think. He knows he will likely be married off like his sisters and end up in some baron or baroness' harem, or if he's really lucky, end up a baron himself.

His childhood was spent mostly with this idea firmly in his head, and after a time he gave up on trying to change it. He took to spending a lot of time alone, only interacting with others to find someone to warm his bed or when his family insisted on spending time together. He learned to fence at a young age and has been practicing since. He wears his sword around all the time after a competition he once won against his eldest brother. He spends most of his days either practicing with his blade or doing his art in secret. He goes mostly unnoticed by both the staff and visitors however his family will always flag him down when the notice him. His little sisters like teasing him, but adore sitting with him to hear him read one of the old story books. Louis is a little jealous of his freedoms, and Garrett is always too busy to do much more than offer him a hug and a smile when they pass. Father is always too busy for anything, and his mother mostly nitpicks him about how he could be “So much more” than he is now.

I like yer guy too. That "he's here as punishment" thing could add some interesting aspects to, say, the prince taking him out into town. I am sure there are plenty of richie riches that would love to see him punished in quite a different manner. ...*Begins evil plotting*

Okay, so we gots the peoples, the places, and the things! Think it's time to start?
