Fantasy [Still Looking - 18/12] Shake Your Chains [Always Open. Just Started]

Awakening AKIRA said:
I'm 100% going for the 'knife in the shadows' angle for my character (Grel, for ease of referral) - as far as can be perceived, they're totally loyal to Rudolf, unquestioning, literally like a shadow hand.

I agree with all of the rest as well - it depends on how elextrified elextrified would like to play their prince. If they go for the distanced son who is not yet accepted, one way to link them all up together could be having Grel assigned to investigate them and gather information for Rudolf, in the event that the prince is either trying to get in with the castle, or up to something else deemed worth keeping an eye on. Again, it'll depend on what the prince is going for! I'll edit those details into their sheet once we have a better idea of the prince and the winter court!

ugh brain overloadd,
Prince is gonna have a real pushy noble mom that wants to shack up with Rudolf, so he’d be trained vigorously and presented to him at a v young age, in my mind. He’s gonna be kind of cocky and a biiig suck up, so he’s definitely going to try to get in his favor (whether that works or not idk lol.) So he’d definitely be around a lot, mommy would make sure of that.
I dig the idea of using the body guard for other purposes. Are they spying for or on Rudolf? Or both?

Very brief update, but a sparse skeleton of the history has been added, just to give you an idea of how Summer and Winter have interrelated over the course of time.​
 
Awakening AKIRA said:
“Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.”​


- The Mask of Anarchy (Percy Shelley)​

Solus has never been a land of peace, but now, it has become a land of politics.

Creatures of every shape, size, and power imaginable populate this land, some civilised, some not. Those capable of allegiance exist within a divide of four courts: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. With Autumn near eliminated and Spring isolated to a western island, Winter and Summer are the sole remaining competitors for dominance of the mainland, held back by a treaty on the verge of breaking.

This is not a land of fairy-tales, though faeries haunt the forests of Lake Lapis, and tales leech dark and insidious across the land at the hands of rumours and spies. This is a land built on the back of conquering and colonisation, of dynasties prone to destruction. This is not a kind land, but it is your home.

For now.

Expectations / Roles / Rules / Lore (UC) / OOC / Sign-Ups / Pre-Made Characters (Claimable)​


Potential General Paths Your Character Can Take:

  • Navigating the politics, romance, and treachery of the nobility of the Courts​
  • Struggling to survive in a war-torn country​
  • Fighting to keep your culture and practices alive​
  • Attempting to unite the land and end the war​
  • Causing further turmoil and exploiting it for your own personal gain​
  • Rebellion. Because who doesn't love a good rebellion?​

What to Expect​


  • External Forces beyond your control​
  • Being made to make choices that affect not only your own fate, but the fates of other characters​
  • An ever growing threat that some will see, and some will not​
  • Prompts/Quests/Requests/Challenges from NPCs​
  • The Option to learn more about the world's lore, or to just charge on through to the action​

This roleplay is going to attempt to be played out a little like you're playing Skyrim / Dragon Age / Game of Thrones etc. but in text format. There is a whole world out there for you to explore, and to fill with your own ideas, creations, magic, cultures, and creatures. You can choose to interact solely with other characters, to explore the realm and see what dangers and excitements find you, or you can spend the whole time by yourself, creating your own corner of the universe. The experience is entirely personalised to your choices.

How will the Lore of the world work?

  • There will be an infinite number of possible magic systems, with some already divised and 'researched' in world, or you can make up your own. Likewise, cultures, cities, religions, and politics exist pre-made for you, or you can create your own. There will be some that will have structures already set in place (the Summer and Winter courts, for example) but you can alter them over time, or build into them.​
  • So long as your post doesn't directly contradict someone else's and says 'no you're wrong', you can write whatever. Your characters opinions about what is and is not possible is an opinion; it is not necessarily fact.​
  • There will be a 'Lore' page for both the pre-determined lore, and later, lore created by the players.​
Roles:​

Note that you are more than welcome to create characters beyond the roles listed below. These comprise the 'key positions' that only one person can fill, along with some other suggested roles.
When claimed, a role will have the corresponding username placed next to it. When full, a role will be struck through. If people drop out, their names will be removed and roles will open up again - it will be noted if the character has already been made and needs someone to play it instead of creating someone new.

For those who didn't spot it yesterday, a very quick guide as to what will be happening at the start of the RP has gone up. From now until sunday, I'll be PMing folks to discuss their character's plot lines and secrets (mysterious),

Tomorrow, the IC thread will be going up, and it SHOULD be opening on Sunday/Monday depending on how people are feeling.

If there's anything else you feel needs to be completed pre-start of the fun and games, let me know and we'll work on it.​
