Ohooo, now we're cooking some royally - heh - delicious drama here. Yeah, I think due to the nature of her personality and power, she's the type of person who holds many secrets, with a lot of them not even belonging to herself. Perhaps this was also a factor why she routinely writes in her journal, she may be many things, but having eidetic memory isn't one of them.

For this case, if you accept, sure thing. And to be clear, just in case, you decide how much information did Pran spill out. What you said so far is good though. It can serve as one of the events that fostered her particular hatred for the decadence and corruption that's so ubiquitous amongst nobility. But if she wants that to change, the best way to go about it is to be Empress, and voila, core motivation get.

On a related note, no one must peek into that journal of hers. The stuff inside there can start bloody wars I imagine lol 😂

Millie just harboring a journal that can make the whole world burn.

I think in the sense of just her trying to figure out why they stopped bringing Alpheus around. She would figure out Pran curses his son for being cursed and sees him as an abomination. A weak link. She would find out that they stopped bringing him to everyone and they isolated him at the Hoel estate in France to the point where they became so superstitious that Alpheus was isolated from his siblings and parents for the majority of the time. Alpheus only has a singular maid who is to be around him, and he gets pushed into the background. He was treated EXTREMELY differently from how his siblings were treated.

Alpheus's genetic issues being a reason Millie has a core motivation to change things is kind of hilarious.

Other than that, Millie would probably be shocked to see Alpheus in school. He might or might not say something but he was getting close to his younger siblings because he has become such a rebellious and mischievous child. Pran sent him countries away to this private school so Alpheus couldn't have a relationship with his younger siblings because they were worried that his being around their youngest, Elsie, might cause her to have his issues to. She is around the same age when Alpheus was diagnosed.

Yes. The world burning lore building. Keep it up.

Highly recommend checking out the Zeroth post on the IC tab to make sure I'm not royally (pun not intended, but I did chuckle) screwing up your character's background in some way. That stuff is still subject to change and just my attempts at giving the world some background noise.

Oh, Rose, I couldn't find anything much in the IC Tab, nor a zeroth post (the top post without the poster's avatar at the side). This is how it looks on my end: Screenshot

Oh, that meant she got Pran to prattle on and on about Alpheus with a few not-so-mundane stares. Damn, man must have been seething inside and his subconscious looked for any chance to air out all that bad laundry just for some morbid satisfaction. It's like lighting a small spark to a pool of gasoline, such a teeny tiny thing triggering something big. Ironic, considering he wanted to forget Alfi even existed.

Hilarious, yet sensible haha. She's autocratic but also meritocratic, if someone can prove themselves to qualify for a role, then they should be given that role, and what Pran was doing is robbing Alpheus of even the chance to do that, between that and all the other cases of decadent nobles maintaining the rotten status quo (including keeping her brother as the primary heir even though she's more qualified than him), something snapped in her and she went full Thanos "Fine, I'll do it myself."

She'd be quite shocked yes as she'd fully expect his parents to keep him in house arrest until he dies (or made to "disappear").

Millie probably hates Alpheus's cousins then (the true royals of France) since they are petty, shallow, and inconsiderate individuals who see their civilians as pawns to their success. They die. They don't. If people talk about them, what difference does it make? A whole country can hate or love you, but fear makes them behave.

Alpheus is probably the best chance France has unless it's taken over by another country, but he would be the last one to ever be considered for such a role.

Millie "I'm Thanos-ing this bullshit,"
Alpheus: OH!? Are we starting a revolution?
Millie: Of the world, yes.
Alpheus: Can I join? I love being a problem.

Noted! Nice, alright then. I can see her helping* him become the King of France in the future. I put an asterisk because (pending character development via IC progression) Millie as-is will also use that chance to integrate France as a vassal state, expanding the HRE's grip on Europe even more than it already has,

After all, if the French people are better off under her rule than their corrupt sovereign, then it's her duty to do so. Of course, that's what she'd like to tell herself. From a meta-narrative perspective, I - as her writer - know that she thrives on domination and obedience, the reincarnation of Augustus Caesar or Charlemagne.

But again, pending character development. 😛

Y’all wild. I feel much less twitchy about my own notes that I’m shuffling the boss reading all this.

Can I ask what countries the HRE currently has under their rule/as vassals? Just to clarify for the narrative so I know how to work through things lore wise as needed.

@HylianRose
Hi, is there room for one more? I like to join this school of unhinged nobles who exploit uses their knights to duel other knights for their entertainment to settle their difference. Seems fun.

As for the courtesy of answering the questions asked(if it's still valid)


Also, i have a few questions:

Let's say i submit an OC knight, does it require me to pair with another player or am i allowed to pair it with my own OC noble?

Does the school allow animal companions with their students (like a dire wolf/or a hunting dog perhaps?)

Character development is the only thing standing between him becoming the king of France or not in my mind. A lot of character development, so we shall see how this goes! It already sounds like a great role-play along with the shadowed friendship of Alpheus and Millie.

I wonder who else will join the revolution - I mean friendship. Totally just friendship. Sunshine and rainbows. No mass destruction to overthrow any governments in their current time line. Not at all.

1) Probably in their teens up to a young adult since it has a slice-of-life school setting.
2) I prefer a narrative flow of combat, with both parties agreeing to the outcome with/or the GM's jurisdiction if things get dicey.
3) a blend of realism and lightheartedness.
4) It's adequate. you had me at a slice-of-life school setting with a tinge of fantasy and VIOLENCE.
5) My favorite character is Emiya(archer) from Fate, Midorya from MHA, and Dante from Devil My Cry

Also, i have a few questions:

I'll leave that up to you on whether or not you want to RP your own noble, but the idea is to be paired off with another writer. I certainly won't stop you from RPing with yourself though, I suppose. Lol.

As for animal companions, I imagine it would function the same way as irl schools. If it's a service animal, probably. If not, you're probably less likely to be allowed. If it's an animal that you use in duels, maybe? Like a familiar or something? But something like a large wolf might be kept in the stables or something, if that makes sense?

Also a note; Magical creatures and god DO exist in this world but they are so rare that they are believed to be fake/not real. Which will only make the "finding a unicorn in the woods" even more impactful.

You can use this map as a base to start with, then if you need a country from the yellowed part of the map to be independent (except for Modern-day Germany) simply do so.

Hehe, I concur~ excited to see how things will play out IC.

Her revolution is more Augustus Caesar-style than French Revolution-style, she'd be so good at what she does, (most of the) people gladly vow their allegiance to her (and those that do not are taken care of, one way or another).

So yeah, actually no mass destruction, just strings masterfully pulled in the background. All the common people will know is their lives prospering, no civil wars necessary.

Oh! I didn't know hiding it would hide it for all of you. My bad! Check again, should be there!

As someone who’s been reading a lot of Roman and Greek history lately, I’m cackling at Caesar being your comparison point.

Also a note; Magical creatures and god DO exist in this world but they are so rare that they are believed to be fake/not real. Which will only make the "finding a unicorn in the woods" even more impactful.

This gives me a very outstretched idea that I might try to consider down the road of the RP. Mhm. Interesting. Interesting indeed.

French revolutions are definitely WAY different than others, especially what Millie has in mind. If anything happens with France in the future, Alpheus might end up being nicknamed the "Red King" because he might lead the bloodiest revolution towards the royal family in France depending on how character development goes and if his family gets worse. Which I doubt they will get better, but god said we need to have faith in the ones we love. Alpheus just struggles with having any faith in the future of the French royalty every single day.

If slaughtering his whole family, extended and close, meant the people of France would prosper. Alpheus will see to it. I imagine France is in ruins in the sense that the majority of their people are currently in poverty, starving, homeless, etc... While the royal family gets to sit in their pretty and pristine estate behind safety from guards and iron-rodded fences.

Though he doesn't care about the royalty at all. He cares about the people.

Perfect! I'm fine with those being part of the HRE. Let me know if the HRE has any beef with any of the surrounding countries.

Also, I'm getting hella Fire Emblem: Three Houses vibes from this, specifically Edelgard. And daaaamn these kids scary.

Alpheus going on a murderous rampage for the royal family.
Pran: Look at what you are doing to your family! You just killed your cousin to get to the throne.
Alpheus: I can't see any of this, so I know it won't haunt my dreams.
Alpheus proceeds to kill his dad.

~ Alpheus should always stay in a good mood because he can be a very dark character.

This is gonna get real awkward when the american runefencer that came here for spying and learning secrets shows up...

Alfi: *mid-stab* Oh.. you the new student? welcome!
the America: What. The. Actual-
Alfi: Oi, language!

Please. I can’t be your Claude. Not with what I have in mind. Don’t do this to me. Let the Americans do it. I just want to have fun. /s
