So does anyone want to figure/plan out any of the following? Before the IC starts? ---

1. Previous relationships between our characters/families. (if any)
2. What some of the rumors at court are?
3. The goings on of the other countries royals, or politics? idk
4. Pre-planed plotting or story lines we hope to come up during the RP?
5. Anything else you can think of!

----------------
**EDIT: Sorry for the double post...

Just finished my character! Also, I'd be happy to discuss connections and pre planning. However, I have to get some work done so I can't think up anything just yet. If you have any suggestions and such I'd love to hear them. :3

@Kaalee I'm pretty sure this is still open. Aspen Wren has not closed it. Personally I think more the merrier.

---- And here is something for fun while we wait for the IC! Historical Dress up game!

Also, random note, both forms of the Marquess in the first post are male, it's just the English and the French spelling.

I noticed mostly because I'm working on a character who will be up soon.

It's either Marchioness(English) or a Marquise(Everywhere else). The English obviously had to be difficult lol

Name: Adalaide Tollemache
Age: 26
Rank: Marchioness of Donde
Personality: Adalaide is a bit of a live wire. She enjoys her parties and 'forming questionable impressions upon the youth of these days'. If she wasn't a Marchioness, a widow, and a very rich one at that, she more than likely would have been shunned ages ago but she's built up a circle and is one of the more popular ladies when it comes to Court. She has a wit and isn't afraid to show it, but has a temper worse than a drunk's and a sharp tongue to back it.
History: Adalaide is not a naive of Indra, but rather born in Manora, she and her twin sister were the only daughters of seven children born to the Baron de Vere. They were sent to the royal court at a young age to become Lady's in Waiting for Princess Audrey. Growing up in the castle was an expierence within itself, and when they were 16, Adalaid's sister married the Crown Prince. He made Adalaide a Duchess in her own right, unfortunately due to mounting political pressure she had to marry and not to someone from Manora. Rather, she became betrothed to the Marquess of Donde, an aging gentlemen who just needed to secure political alliances with Manora since a vast majority of his land borders the forest in which Manora shares with him. Adalaide adored her husband, as he adored her both content in the friendship they secured by this marriage. Unfortunately, when she was twenty two, only three years into her marriage, her husband passed in his sleep. His nephew who inheirited the land, was a devilish rake who was off galavanting as far away as he could be. He claimed, when notified of his uncle's passing, that he 'couldn't be bothered less of his passing and that as long as Adalaide didn't drain his coffers or try to emulate the Bloody Baroness, she could do whatever her heart desires.' So she became one of the most well known woman in society, known for her parties and mischief.

So, like Emma asked does anyone have any ideas? I think I may have Lilith's (if she is approved) father be charged with embezzlement or something along the lines. As for how well she knows other characters I am open to suggestions. Also, as far as pre planning goes I think I'm going to have Lilith's father have an affair of some sorts at one point and then the women he did have one with has a son. Or, have him already have a son that shows up. Either way, something to complicate Lilith's life being an only daughter.

@Emma
Nice, also I just noticed I forgot to add what she was a Dutchess of. Quickly going to think that one out.

How long has Lilith been at court? Catalina has been at court for 5-6 years now. And Rupert has only just come back after a long time of fighting in Manora.
-------------------
Personally I would like to here some more history or backstory on the different countries.

For the sake of writing out my characters bios, I took into account all the info on the countries stated in the OP. But added onto it in my mind.

First off that Friesia and Manora are enemies, though both are loyal allies to Indra of course.

King Jerome of Friesia has just ended his occupation and campaign in Manora that had been going on for many years.

I also see Manora as a kind of exotic place different from the rest of the countries. Steamy jungles, different standards/ideals/culture/religions/beliefs...idk something kind of like Asia/Turkey/India/Africa compared to France/Italy/England/Germany. But still all monarchies, and same technological advances.

Also is there any religious order that hold power over kings. Like the pope and cardinals in Catholicism during the 1600s. Or like Greek mythology and how kings would seek guidance/council from the oracle. Idk

@Kaalee
Also thanks for the correction and your character is accepted.

@dndragons
Your character is also accepted. I'm working off my phone currently so excuse any misspellings and what not. My phone also likes to think it knows what I'm going to say so it often changes words for me.

I don't see any more princesses~ I'm rather hopeful about that, I like Selene. If someone else makes a princess who wins out over her, I'll probably just change her rank so I can still play as her.

Also, Diego is now Count of Torremolinos.

Alright I am typing up a load of details for your all. You will be sorry you even asked when I get done. I get entirely to into this kind of crap which is why I was so vague in the first place! lol Anyhow, I'm going to post the first bit and then continue working on things. If you have any other questions or wish for specific details just PM me and if I decide it's relevant to other I'll add it in.

Edit: Go check the 4th post down.
