Are reporters allowed to get into relationships, or are they strictly gossip and drama?

Reporters can do anything! They're fully fleshed-out characters, just like everyone else.

Oh! Alright then, I think I have some characters in mind...thank you!

What caste do reporters lie in? Sorry, if this was listed in the information...it was a lot to digest and I didn't quite catch it

i have a question in regards to code. can we use it for our character sheets and in-character posts? if we do use it, are there any requirements, such as for it to be mobile-friendly?

man, i really want to try for the prince (both because i have a few ideas and because he’s a key character we’ll need to start the roleplay), but i’m worried there will be too much pressure. ^^;

Do maids have a standard uniform or do they just wear anything?

You should totally try it! I'll be honest -- there will be some pressure since he has to send people home and we'll need him for the entire RP. But, if you think you can do it, then go for it!!!
Maids have uniforms. Though, when they're not working they can wear whatever they want -- but they probably wont' have very high-end clothing, even living in the palace.

i’m less concerned with commitment (once i’m hooked into a roleplay, i’m pretty much stuck) and more so with the fact that i’d be responsible for making him send other people’s characters home. that takes a lot of consideration on my part, mostly because i’m such a people-pleaser. i also want to make sure he’s interesting enough to do his role justice...
hm. food for thought. i’ll keep working on the other character i want to play while i mull this over.

Ah, I see! The people-pleasing aspect I totally get. Still, everyone here can be mature about it -- if someone's character is sent home, it's not personal. It's definitely not going to be easy... but having someone who will take it very seriously like you would be good! Anyways, whatever you decide is good by me! Glad to have you either way ^^

thinking more about this, and having read your thoughts on the matter, i think i'll give it a go! i hope i can do the role justice. worst comes to worst, and he ends up rejected as the crown prince, i can probably modify him from that point into a selected or valet. thus, no harm will come from trying.
in other news, i've actually purchased the novel. i look forward to learning more about the world when i get around to reading it. in particular, i'm rather intrigued by the history, some of which i've spoiled myself to through the wiki. there seems to be a lot of lore to delve into, which i love. i'm super big on worldbuilding, so this is really making me excited. just thought i'd share. ^^

Awesome! I look forward to seeing your take on the character.
And wow, that's so cool! It's definitely one of my favorite series... it's a bit cheesy with the romance at times but I love the world and the characters. The focus is, of course, more on the Selection and castes than anything else, but there's definitely some interesting history there. If you end up liking it, there's two other books in the series, as well as books about another character in the universe and short stories about many different character's experiences during the first three books (and some stuff from the past, too!) It's all pretty interesting.

so far, i'm enjoying it! despite my love for darker themes, i'm an absolute sucker for romance, even when cheesy (hence why i'm here, haha). but i especially loved the gradual build-up to the introduction of the country's caste system. honestly, i think that's one of the most fascinating aspects of the book so far, aside from the drama caused by america's relationship with aspen. i'm excited to delve into this novel further. if it keeps up this interesting pace, i'll probably end up buying more of the books.
in the meantime, though, i'm still working on my two characters: a maid and the crown prince himself. i don't want to be too influenced by any characters from the book, as i want them to be entirely original, so i may force myself to finish them before i read any more. however, i'd really appreciate seeing a completed example of a character sheet before then. i have everything that's needed already written in a google doc, but i'm not sure what aesthetic you want the character sheets to be. should i just transfer everything to a character sheet code, regardless of the aesthetic?
i'm still so new to rpn; i don't know what the common courtesy is when it comes to this. ^^;

I agree! I kinda put something out there, but I have really no idea what sort of character sheet you're going for. Could you please put one up?

I'm glad you like it so far! It's one of my favorite book series... I really should re-read it soon. It's a good mix of romance and plot, in my opinion. Plus, there's some really interesting characters and developments.I'll be putting up some of my characters very soon. The aesthetic doesn't matter, any code is fine. If anyone wants to use the code I use once I post my characters, I'd be happy to share. As far as I know, usually everyone just posts their own code (or some use none at all!) and it's all fine. I'm not really one to make rules for that sort of thing. As long as the characters include the information asked for, they should be all good!
PrincessMuk
Ace Legend <3
My first character is up ^^ Hope that gives you guys an idea of what I'm looking for. But again, you can be as detailed or as basic as you'd like, as long as you know your character and you provide the information asked for, you should be good. And coding is whatever you'd like to do, as well -- it does not have to fit any certain aesthetic.

your characters look great so far, but yeah we do need a biography (doesn't have to be long) and at least basic info on their families. Also, you should figure out how your rebel character is in the palace. Are they a Selected? Are they a guard? That can go in the occupation section if you'd like.

Alright, all good! ^^ Added a paragraph of backstory to each character which is hopefully enough. It's not nearly as much as you did for Andrea, so if I need to write more I can.
It's saying something about moderator approval. I did do a lot of editing...
