@AimeChambers -- Whichever you think is more effective, there is no pressure. I was originally not going to write for Valentine, just to give Cordelia and Cain a post between the two momentarily and await one more turn for a written response from Mel.
@AimeChambers -- It's technically mine, but I've been struggling hard with a mixture of "writer's block" and my concern of how things will be managed after my post.
Also, I approve of your profile; you may post in the character tab.
@Tsar Gatto -- Approved, forgive me for the lateness. You may post in the character tab.
If you two would like to, my co-GM has been suggesting you two to post before I do. Would you guys like to do that before I post, or wait till I've posted? I'm pushing something to happen today, no matter how mangled my writing for this post feels like it's going to be.
Quick reply that I am still writing my post, but will be shortening it for the time being so the roleplay can proceed. I furthermore still have to tend to profiles and players, and will do so immediately after this post. I may post IC before tending OOC for the sake of players already present in the roleplay.
@AimeChambers -- (laughs eternally because of Vincent & Valentine, but now Viktor.) No worries; I will tell you ahead of time that the possible kingdoms he could've been at (for they exist, but are not touched upon in this roleplay) are the Kingdoms of Josphiel, Samael, Uriel, and Sandalphon.
If it perks your interest to send him to one of these for a brief period of time, here's a tad bit of extra detail about these places in lore that admittedly, I've been too bad of a GM to post immediately. Since there's supposed to be little known about them, perhaps you can have Viktor staying in the outskirts of one of these kingdoms. Whether sent for study, which I will allow, or tutoring of a particular study, which I will still allow (all under the idea that the Kingdom of Raphael couldn't tolerate his behavior anymore, implying Viktor was always rebellious or wild), all I ask is for Viktor not to come back with some mass relationship formed between him and that kingdom. This is just for the fact that players don't start running off the current plot and into some other part of the map... (I'd like to use that area for future sources, whether in this roleplay or perhaps another version of it...)
There are kingdoms that exist beyond Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Lucifer. These kingdoms do not communicate with these four as much as the four communicate with each other. The other kingdoms are known as Jophiel, Samael, Sandalphon, and Uriel. While they share the same continent as the other four kingdoms, they are far from each other. These two groups of kingdoms do not depend on each other for trade. As Gabriel, Lucifer, Michael, and Raphael are close, or were once, Josphiel, Samael, Sandalphon, and Uriel are the same. Due to the small amount of communication made between these groups across mountains, streams, and forests, very little is known about the four on the other side.
The Kingdom of Joshpiel is known for their scholars and vast knowledge. The Kingdom of Samael is currently recognized with its constant conflict between the dead, undead, and living. The Kingdom of Sandalphon is known for their large armies and close-knit communities. The Kingdom of Uriel is known for their seers and arts. There is nothing else known about these kingdoms, who their rulers are, or what their tactics are like. Since they will not be present for the roleplay, as they are not planned to interfere with the current situation, they will not be making an appearance.
I suppose I can also allow some information about Joshpiel, Uriel, Sandalphon, and Samael to exist within the roleplay (especially speaking on parts about who their rulers are and recent events in that area), but I still wish to stress for players not to randomly fall off this map into another. Though you technically won't be falling off the map... You'll be falling out of the plot's primary area, and that's pretty much falling off the map for the time being.
@MonsieurShade -- If it makes you feel better (which probably won't, so truly, don't sweat it! Mistakes happen), I can tell you about the time that I accidentally posted in a roleplay that I wasn't even in. Two threads with the similar names and similar people, I don't remember if I left the roleplay or not either, but I was quick to make a response... I posted and then realize I wasn't even in the roleplay.
I won't ever live that down...
@lydyn -- Hello there! I hope the following response answers all your questions, in hopes I have addressed them to the best of my ability.
We still have room in the roleplay, and since we're still at the starting point, I'm still allowing players. You are free to jump in and join; just submit a profile or two, depending on the amount of characters you wish to play, and the CO-GM and I will approve or deny. (If you're denied, we'll definitely tell you what you can do to have your profile approved!)
I cannot speak for my players, but I can speak for myself and say that I don't mind the fact that you play lesbians. In fact... Someone here (COUGHS @Wisp) would like this very much. I do hope that you keep your interest in the roleplay as it continues on though; while it may be romance, there are times of war, action, and battle. That doesn't mean we can't have both, but I hope the mix is alright with you.
(My co-GM is getting feisty as I type so expect a ping from them... Unless they've already posted).
As for a good character, you can still be from any kingdom and still technically be considered good by alignment (in Lucifer, well... that'll be hard to reason with, but perhaps out of redemption? I wouldn't highly recommend it; you could go from evil or neutral to good within the Kingdom of Lucifer, but that'll have to be overtime in the roleplay and you probably won't be starting off with good alignment). If that's not what you meant, then my apologies. As for roles you could apply for, depending on whether you want your character to be more of a fighter or not, we have the following... (And, forgive me for assuming, but I will be assuming that you will be interested in female roles, therefore I won't list open-prince roles.)
Princess of Gabriel
Lady-in-waiting of Raphael (Servant/Maid)
Knights, Warrior, or Bishop in any of Gabriel, Raphael, or Michael
Princess of Michael
This list is slightly in order from most recommended to least based on the amount of persons in each kingdom, title of role, and what would be in your favor for this roleplay. If you have any more questions or comments, I'm here to listen!
@Tsar Gatto -- The CSs by SleepingSilence and Ace of flames01 are no longer in play. The rolelist in the second post of OOC is pretty much our updated source of characters still in play compared to the character sheet tab... ^_^"
But whoo! Thank you for considering. I suppose we shall hear from you around then.
I shall be brewing up my post today; my schedule today may not allow me to finish the post today, but surely for tomorrow. Before I do that though.
@MonsieurShade -- Heh, I felt like you made a slight typo there, so I kept moving along without making too much note on it. I do wish to point out in your last post though that Valentine isn't in the room yet. So, it's just Cordelia. Valentine will probably be there shortly (and late for his own meeting).
@Cubix -- Speaking of which, do you think Mel will be sending a response to the Kingdom of Raphael in the next post? If not, then I can let things carry on for that kingdom, given Valentine is being dumb waiting for responses from the kingdoms. Just checking!
@Tsar Gatto -- I'm sure you probably didn't wish to be pinged three times, but I simply wish to butt in and say some things in my own words. Wisp and Aime kinda struck my point into play, so forgive me if this comes off as redundant.
I'd definitely still welcome you into the roleplay, since we're not too far into it. I do stress having at least one monarch, whether king or queen, for the Kingdom of Lucifer just so that kingdom is being led. Hell, you could make two monarchs for that kingdom or maybe a monarch and a servant, or well, whatever you want! Or, if you end up deciding that the Kingdom of Lucifer isn't for you, then you could honestly make anything for any of the kingdom. Same implies if you do end up making a character for the Lucifer kingdom, but you want to make another one or two beyond that kingdom.
I'm pretty flexible in what characters you'd like to have. Simply follow the given rules and stats for races 'n occupations and try not to contradict already existing information (this goes along with other characters as well. In example, if you wish to make a prince or princess for the Kingdom of Gabriel, my recommended way of doing so is to talk to Cubix about any restrictions that may be present due to their character Mel and Mel's backstory. Just an example). You may also run by any ideas through myself or the co-GM Wisp, and we'll gladly give you our input!
If you wish to make a character or two, or three, or how many you think you can manage, don't be afraid to do so! I welcome questions, for every question has an answer (whether or not you are pleased by the answer is not a guarantee). And, if you need anything else, you may ask from Wisp or me. This is a good time for me to stop rambling.
That's all I wished to say. Forgive me for redundancy!

@AimeChambers -- I don't mind the idea. How about you, @Wisp? I think the only thing that I would nit-pick about it is that the mom would have to be different from Cordie's and Val's since that mother died giving birth to Cordie. Due to the space between Val and Cordie, I don't think another sibling could've been born. (Unless, of course, you choose to make a prince that's a twin to one of the characters.)
Here's to another bump; other roles are still open, but this will be the last time I'll be actively seeking either a king or queen for the Kingdom of Lucifer.
