The Devil's Throne - OOC
An alternative reality to ours... In the 18th century, the King and Queen reside in a palace situated in East Anglia, England. Strict and old-fashioned, it's difficult to believe the way the world moves around them. However, with the power to change anything in the country the moment they wish, they are the most powerful people in England. Employing many, including guards, servants and advisers, the family holds a great level of secrecy within the walls. Anyone found to break the vow of secrecy, or many other rules, could find themselves put to death without trial.
The King and Queen have three sons and three daughters. The eldest Prince, and heir to the throne, is a handsome young man, though cold and heartless by nature. He is due to marry the daughter of a Spanish noble, to help build relations and trade with Spain. Many, including his own siblings, fear what will happen when the cruel prince eventually becomes king.
Recently, things in the castle have been gradually becoming more unsettled than usual, following the execution of a young servant a week earlier. Tortured before been hung, she was accused of being evil and trying to corrupt the youngest princess, simply because she was of a poorer class.

This will be a realistic drama (though not historically accurate to our real world) and will remain focused within the palace walls and grounds. This will be heavy on characterisation, with twists, violence and probably a lot of misery!
I'm not majorly strict but I prefer around 2+ paragraphs per post and certainly not just a couple of sentences.
Out of character chat goes here...
it means they're accepted. If not, it probably just means I'm waiting until your CS is completed before accepting.
