me? voting for you to up the character limit so you can? it's more likely than you think

XD I've actually been considering it. I'm just worried people (including me) might make more characters than we can handle. But if everyone is comfortable with it we totally could. It's not like everyone needs to have the max amount anyways.

i don't see a reason why the max can't be 'whatever you can handle'.
also, i have a question about caleb as a character. isn't that like... not the way you move up castes? like. to move up castes you need to marry a man (the man in the relationship keeps the caste, girl moves up/down respectively) or be born into it. right? basically being brought in wouldn't be a thing that would happen. he might get a castle job that fits caste seven, but he'll be caste seven for the rest of his life.

Alright. If everyone else is fine with it then I'll gladly change the max or get rid of it entirely. ^^
Actually, Caleb's situation (though it's a bit strange how he became a Guard) is perfectly normal. Many men of lower castes would apply to be a guard so they can move up castes. In fact, in the original series one of the characters in a low caste ends up becoming a Palace Guard.

Ah! I could change the backstory a bit if it means it will comply better to the story background! I was doing my research on the book and I found that information but like I wasn't sure how to use it in a way that would keep Caleb more interesting, haha.
Awh I'm glad that you like him. I get worried if my male characters are not as up to par with others.
PrincessMuk
Ace Legend <3
I didn't mean to make you feel you should change it! It's unconventional, but makes for an interesting backstory. I think it's great ^^ I also love your character!!

Welcome, welcome!

I changed the age of Caleb from 30 to 27! Sorry, I don't know I just wanted to change the age. I didn't want him to be way older than the other characters because that would be sort of odd for me, haha.

Alright! You don’t have to apologize, btw. You can change your character anytime before we start.

Hi,
I was wondering what characters you guys needed?
I'm super interested in making a guard.

make a guard! we're trying to fill our selected slots and also the royal family (at least king/queen), but a guard would be lovely too.
PrincessMuk
Ace Legend <3
As Rainy said, go ahead with a guard! We’re also needing more male Selecteds and maids/valets.
PrincessMuk
Ace Legend <3
Would you all prefer maids/valets to be assigned or would you like to work it out with each other? Or a mix (i.e. if you don't want to choose then I'd assign it)?
rainywrites
Rainy writes but dislikes fights
why would it need to be assigned? if we don't have enough, we could just say they're general maids to serve the needs of whoever?
PrincessMuk
Ace Legend <3
The idea was that in the book, every Selected girl had three maids just to serve her. Obviously three is a lot to ask so I'd only planned on one maid/valet for each Selected. If we don't have enough, though, I guess general maids/valets would be a better idea... :/
rainywrites
Rainy writes but dislikes fights
i mean yeah, i know... i read the books. but i think just because it's unlikely we'll gather that many characters we can say they're just general maids for plotline's sake. if people would prefer to have their spacific maid assigned to someone spacific they can choose to, but it might just make more sense to make them all 'maids of the selected and the royal family'
