I'm not happy about it, but I'll have to drop out of this. It pisses me off, but the soonest I'd be able to properly sit down and commit time to this would be towards the end of August. RL comes first I'm afraid. If it's still going at that point I may jump in again, depending on how the RP developed.

Bio
Greetings and salutations! I go by FistOfZeus on a bunch of forums and on discord, though I admit I tend to lurk more often then not. I'm a 19 year old Canadian who is fleunt in English and passable in Greek, I have unfortunately lost most of the French I learned in school.
I've been trying to set up RP stuff (like Dnd for example) since I was around 12-13, but it never really got anywhere. Due to me being the eldest child in my immediate family the furthest it ever got was by me serving as a GM for my younger brother and cousins in Tabletop Roleplay that I made up the rules for. I've been making efforts to change that, and joined in quests and RPs on the website "Spacebattles", though most of those fell through as well. If I ask a lot of questions please don't hold it against me, I like to know exactly what I'm working with. I also joke around and act dramatic a lot in RL (it's fun dammit!), if something I say or do offends anyone let me know and I'll reel it in.
I will most likely favour Casual RP and will probably try out Tabletop and Nation RP as well. If anyone has any suggestions or tips please feel free to let me know!
I read a lot: fantasy, sci-fi and mythology being commonalities, albeit I'm reading mostly fanfics and crossovers these days. I enjoy roguelike games like "The Binding of Isaac" and "Enter the Gungeon", action RPGs like "Dark Souls" and "Nier; Automata"(no spoilers plz, I haven't finished Nier yet!), and strategy games like "Plague Inc" and "Sid Meier's Civilization 5". I also enjoy board games like "Settlers of Catan", "Small World", and "Betrayal at House on the Hill".
That was longer than I expected. Oh well, it's good to be here!
I admittedly copy-pasted my bio from my introduction post, but I'll make changes to the bio if I feel it's warranted (such as when I finish the beauty that is Nier, or actually get some half-decent RP experience I can feel proud about).

I'm not happy about it, but I won't be able to join in anytime soon, unfortunately. It pisses me off, but the soonest I'd be able to join in would be towards the end of August. RL comes first I'm afraid.
Sorry about the very late post, the last few days have just been so hectic. Very excited for how this will progress! :D
As for the lesbian suitor, I have no problems with it. Poor sheltered Jareth will be very confused.

Today is a good day, a great one, even. All three days of the trip to Miss Phillips' castle had been wonderful indeed. In fairness a large portion of this was because of the absence of father breathing down my neck, but meeting people I can speak with who won't grovel at my feet and agree with everything I say will be a treasure indeed! I do hope the princess isn't some timid wallflower, it really would be a joy to have someone I could speak with as an equal... Bah! I still have time to think of how to introduce myself! For now all I have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the journ-
"My lord, the castle is in sight!"
The voice of my retainer shook me out of my reverie, nearly causing me to fall off my horse in the process. The two of us had been riding with only the pack mules as company, the presence of guards would have implied I needed to be protected and that could not be tolerated. I shook my head to clear my thoughts before responding in a dry tone.
"I wasn't aware that it was customary to cause an accident when arriving at a foreign dignitary's establishment! While you have my thanks for informing me, in future do so in a way that does not send me head over heels!"
While he stuttered out a stream of apologies, I properly looked around and lo and behold, the castle could be seen down the road about a half-day's trip away.
Has the time truly gone by that quickly? I hadn't really properly thought of how I would introduce myself. How the devil do you approach someone romantically? What if she dismisses me? A single look before deciding I'm not worth her time? No, surely I'll have more chances then that. True love at first sight isn't really a thing, right? Blast it all! I really need to think about this...
EDIT: As I hate to double-post in RP OOC threads (and don't feel this is worthy of a separate post anyways), I'm editing into this comment that the IC will not be going live today (Monday, June 3rd) due to summer classes and associated work. I will try to make sure the IC goes live on Wednesday, but I don't feel I can promise that with how fast paced I'm expecting one of my classes to be. Luckily I've only got two days of classes, so my time shouldn't ever be totally consumed by summer school.
Apologies for this delay and I hope it doesn't last longer than I'm expecting it to.
This ironically works out nicely for me, as I spilled a little water on my laptop like a dumbass and so didn't get to post my CS. I'm getting it checked out tomorrow, worst case scenario I'll type it up on my phone. Really sorry it's taking me so long, RL has just been a mess for me the last few days.
You can be the princess, though I'm happy to play as her if you don't really want to. I'm willing to double up as well if we need it.
Are we waiting another day and then starting, then? Tomorrow? The day after?

Nice! I might add some other characters later, but I'm cool with just Hawke for right now. I also left his dislike for the princess as vague until we get one. Once we get one, hopefully her player and I could discuss it out.
I mean obviously this is dependent on the player of the princess, but a possible reason for the dislike relates to Hawke's usage of "black magic". The princess rules over the sorcerers and sorceresses, presumably the most powerful magic users in the land, and a desire to annex them under his control to gain access to those magics works as a basic initial reason for his interest. From there interpersonal issues between the two can be expanded upon by the players. Maybe he proposed in such a way that was more command than question and she took offense, maybe he gave her an ultimatum, I dunno. Just tossing a few ideas around.
I'm not confident in my ability to co-GM this, but I'd love to join in if it's still going to happen.
This looks pretty neat! I'm thinking of writing up a character who is a religious fanatic of questionable sanity. The gist of the idea is that she has "visions from God" that aren't always true. In reality she experiences hallucinations and delusions, but due to the whole "medieval society" thing she can't exactly have this diagnosed and treated.
Having said that, would it be possible to have a "future sight" type magic? Due to the nature of this ability and her lack of mental stability, I imagined it as @ArkmageddonCat writing the visions, and it would be up to my character to decide how much of the vision is true, if any of it. Thoughts?

if only we had more players joining. we still need a princess, an enemy ruler, etc.
It'll happen. By the looks of it slowly, but players will (hopefully) come along. If nobody else wants to I'm perfectly willing to RP as the princess or changing Jareth a bit to be the enemy ruler.
Edit: See? Ninja'd.
