A Concordat Broken (Seeking either gender for MxF, FxM or FxF)

Forum: 1x1 Interest Checks
Found someone.
This will be an epic about survival in the dying days of an empire. I'm looking for a long term commitment from... just about anyone, really. Who should be free on weekends.
The founding of the Holy Empire of Degascia was perhaps an event blessed by the gods. In the eternally warring lands of the continent of Amascia, where petty warlords declared their kingship in one moment and fell the next, no one truly expected Lord Arthur Degascia to be different. Well, some did, considering that Lord Degascia was a dragon. A human-sized dragon, but a dragon nonetheless. Perhaps the last of the dragons, Arthur Degascia was an egg when his master, Lord Micah Degascia, discovered and hatched him. From a pet to a confidante, Arthur stayed by Micah's side throughout the darkest and brightest times of Degascia's attempts to carve out a greater piece of Amascia for himself. And when Micah was struck down by illness, he picked, of all things, a dragon to lead his fiefdom to greater glory.
It would work.
Degascia united the continent of Amascia through both brilliance and strength on the battlefield and diplomacy in the courts of his foes. There was one thing that this young dragon thought wise to do, but the eventuality of its side effects outlived him.
The continent of Amascia was no unified land of races, not even close. The land of the fair folk, the land of the elves, the land of the dwarves, the land of the humans, and the lands of many more were entwined together in one gigantic squabbling piece of land. But as Degascia conquered, the power he brought to the negotiating table forced the many lords of the races to bend to his knee.
There was one condition that they agreed to, though. That they rule their own lands, pay tribute to Degascia and never wage war against each other ever again. Lords swore their fealty to Lord Degascia as an alternative to annihilation.
Arthur Degascia would be crowned as Degascia I, the first Emperor of the Holy Empire of Degascia.
But even dragons do not live forever. And as the last of his kind, he needed a heir. And Degascia knew enough about human nature, or the nature of the living. Even as Lord Micah once swore upon Arthur's capability, many of Micah's retainers refused to serve a dragon. The last of the dragons would create a compromise.
Gathering the many lords that he appointed, kept or forced under his heel at his palace in the city of Micahar, Degascia declared the Eternal Scale Concordat. The Emperor would take a wife from every lord's choosing, and sire a child with her. All these children, known as Dragonbloods, were all potential Emperors/Empresses. From each lord's fiefdom, the lord could choose a single Dragonblood to serve as an 'Empire-elector', a man or woman with the power to vote for the next ruler of Degascia, as long a Dragonblood was chosen to rule. No lord, even of Dragonblood nature, could ever elect an emperor or rule the empire themselves.
From the battlefields, the politics of nobles changed to the courts. At least, for the next 1000 years. 56 Emperors and Empresses have ruled Degascia since then.
However, Degascia LVIII (58 in roman numerals) would perhaps be the last. During the reign of the 57th Emperor of Degascia, a great debate amongst the lords and nobles forced an amendment of the Eternal Scale Concordat. No longer had an Emperor of Degascia needed to be of dragon heritage, and lords themselves would elect the next emperor instead of the Dragonbloods.
And when the 57th Emperor died, the lords squabbled over the next Emperor. Arguments turned into feuds. Feuds turned in battles. Battles turned into wars. The Concordat was broken.
That's the background of the setting. I'm looking for a 1x1 RPer to take things in this story in a direction we can agree on.
Some guidelines:
1. If you want to see what I can write, refer to my gallery here.
2. Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
3. I choke on my own vomit when I see obvious spelling and grammar errors.
4. I won't do a PM RP for this. Not this one. I don't care if you're the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, you're not convincing me otherwise.
5. If you're interested, post here and link me a writing example. We'll discuss it via PM or IRC if needed.
6. Romance is a must for this. We'll be fading to black whenever needed though.
7. We'll probably each need to play multiple characters, though we will ultimately only have 2 main characters. And a few antagonists.

I am interested too.

Never mind. You guys go ahead. I guess I probably won't be joining this.
And you'll have 'Peace by superior firepower' by your side when we firebomb the ninjas.
What time roughly is it? I presume it's after Nobunaga captured Inabayama castle and renamed it Gifu, considering that Akechi is serving Oda. Has he been to the capital on invitation by the Shogun?
(Funny things:
1. Akechi, historically, is older than Nobunaga. But almost no depiction of Akechi reflects that.
2. The surname Toyotomi was adopted by Hashiba Hideyoshi after Nobunaga died.)
I'll have time to write a Cs when I get home.

Hideyoshi already had a brother. Hidenaga Hashiba. Fyi.
