Affairs of the Court | a choice of romance rp

_{A slice of life, Regency era (sort of), Romance RP}

Several years after the last smokes of war died down, where everyone had settled their personal beefs with each other, you, a young man or woman of high status became a potential instrument for long term harmony and salvation between the waring nations, by being invited and taking part in the annual social seasons.

Vertiron, one of the major seats of power, despite fresh from the war between the three other major Kingdoms, Cheateu de Monfort opens its neutral doors for the annual tradition. In a night of leisure and socialisation opens aplenty of personal and political opportunities. Marrying off to the other nations would mean a powerful union aside from attaining long term peace. Yet despite all the agenda surrounding this year's seasons, let us not forget the true meaning of the occasion, that may be hard to come by in a time fresh from the dregs of war, that is actually finding true happiness and love in the midst of it all. None the less, the seasons is the perfect place to start new relationships, for better or for worst.

Major Kingdoms

Vertiron

Vertiron

---

First country that rose to power, and definitely one of the oldest. A once small country that fought it's way to supremacy with the deadly mix of espionage and diplomacy, which kept their nation stronger than ever with the alliances they make for many many years. Vertiron had solely won nations with it's diplomatic sovereignty, through their history they mostly have won wars without the dependency of strong armies. Vertiron was once ruled by the late King Vincento Corelli, who led it's people with steadfast loyalty and philosophy for more that thirty years. Vertiron has strongly denounced the Euhijan for their constant invasions, declaring a formal war that led to his unfortunate demise twenty years ago on Euhijan soil. Just years later this had sparked the fabled five old world war that sooner escalated between the major Kingdoms that ultimately ended just five years later, when the other two kingdoms made a temporary allience to end the Euhijans

Since King Vincento's passing, he is succedded by his son, Prince Theodoro Corelli who was only five years old when he ascended to the Vertiron throne, aided by the widowed Queen regnant, who is also his mother.

Typical Features:(though not necessarily limited to)
Quite taller than average, athletic physique, Tan/Olive skin, Dark hair, Dark/Hazel eyes.

Usamolia

Usamolia

---

Usamolia is also one of the oldest Kingdoms next to Vertiron. Long ago they have maintained friendly relations with their superpower counterparts, and with their rich culture and wealthy economy, they proved to be a valuable ally. But there was a time the alliance between Vertiron was severed, when they decided to desperately vie for control over their nations due to the plummeting of natural resources during the great famine. The diversion on the Vertiron's side gave the Asterians an opportunity, gathering enough power to enforce a rebellion that earned the Asterian's independence. With time the Usamolians and Asterians shared a common interest with the arts and sciences even while the wars breaking just fifteen years ago, that plunged the world into temporary chaos had only made the allience stronger contributing to the world their prime research on the advancement of science for the war effort.

Common Physical Characteristics:
Taller , Toned/fitted physique, Dark skinned, Dark thick curly/wavy haired, rounded dark eyes.

Astaria

Astaria

---

Astaria rose to be a major power just over six centuries ago. Though a relatively new kingdom that once was under the Vertiron regime, Asteria has proven itself a worthy kingdom to behold. The nation grew on its own terms, excelling and contributing greatly to the arts end sciences. Vertiron and Asteria shared a long history of wars during the Vertiron era, their tension mostly begun during the rise of the Asterians rebellion, and just two centuries ago had won their independence. Out of almost nothing, and for a short amount of time they rose above quickly, and sat next to the most powerful kingdoms of the land. The Asterians have a long flourishing relationship with the Usamolians, due to their common interests in the arts and sciences.

Typical Features:
Wide range of height and body structures, Fair/Rosy skin, lighter hair, bright coloured eyes.

Euhijan

Euhijan

---

Euhijan Empire is widely praised for it's superior military, the first nation to discover gunpowder and military sciences. There was a time where Euhijan conquered the lands they set foot on as a part of their traditional code that was ruled under a bloodthirsty emperor. They devouring territories like the most violent waves of the sea which led to the death of the king of Vertiron. Suffice to say, the armies of Euhijan was a force to be feared, but the other nations have vehemently denounced their actions and refused their demands to give in to their wrath. Thus birthed the legendary allience that nobody ever deemed possible, the three Major Kingdoms; Vertiron, Astaria an Usamolia, led war against Euhijan armies. This finally ended the war, and destruction it brought upon many years later brought some guilt on the Euhijan's side. From then they agreed to a Treaty of Deterrence, entered a new dynasty of worthy rulers and boycotting their involvement in any violence and a promise to value peace, unless the call for it requires them to.

OOC

This rp is somewhat inspired from a CYOA game of the same name and also from one of the rps I previously joined in, basically a romance slice roleplay intended to set in the "regency era" and aside from the relationship and character building there will be some nation and world building elements to it. We choose to play as either royals, men/women of title, wealthy business owners or high military figures looking for romance/political benifit from the seasons, up to you how you'd want to play it out.

For now that's the gist of all. Once I put this in OOC i'll post all the needed details. If anyone's game please feel free to express your interest.

[Erklings25]

Ooh, this looks good. I'm in!

[Congee]

@Erklings25 Yay!

[Silent Whispers]

Looks neat. :) I am in.

[Sierra]

You changed all the names and now I gotta completely retool my sheet from last time. Thanks for that ... :P

[Congee]

@Hushed Whisperswhooo!

@Sierra drats, Ive been found out! I did a bit effort too, not just the names

[Avanhelsing]

@Congee
Choice of Romance was never my favorite one of those games( Choice of Robot wins that award), however I do like this idea. I had a few ideas for a less than romantic kind of guy. Not exactly lovey doves type but more after some sort of vengeance to add a bit of drama. If hat is alright I mean.

@Avanhelsing

Choice of Deathless. Always.

[Avanhelsing]

@Erklings25
That too is a good answer. I’ll accept that one as well.

I just loved all the nutty stuff I did in robot. I mean I basically destroyed the world and then saved it the next time to rule over the world.

[Erklings25]

@Avanhelsing Robots was a great game, let it be said.

[Avanhelsing]

It really was. I’ve heard deathless is good but I’ve never read it.

The hero one was decent. Well the first one was at least.

[Kalmar]

Don't really plan to join, but I'm just popping in to acknowledge another Choice of Games fan.

<Snipped quote by Avanhelsing>

Choice of Deathless. Always.

@Erklings25

Wrong. Guns of Infinity.

[Brei]

This sounds fun! Count me in if you are still looking for people! And I'm partial to A Midsummer Nights Choice myself, though Choice of Romance and Choice of Robots are both good too.

[murdoc]

@cerozer0 and I are interested. >:3c

[Congee]

@Avanhelsing it's up to you how you'd want to play in the RP, drama is very much welcome. P.S, I agree with Robots, Deathless. Both are equally great in my book.

@BreiWelcome! Have not tried Midsummer night's, though it's on my queue list.

@murdoc Alright!

[Silent Whispers]

@Congee
I should've asked in the beginning but is knowledge of the game required?

[Congee]

@Hushed Whispers nope, it's not entirely connected to the game itself, just the concept and the title. :)

[Silent Whispers]

@Hushed Whispers nope, it's not entirely connected to the game itself, just the concept and the title. :)

@Congee

Okay. Thanks. :)

[ayzrules]

interested :)

[Avanhelsing]

Hmm so I’m more thinking a disgraced noble trying to get some sort of vengeance but that’s all I got atm.
