Ivory, I am humbled that you would take interest in this story roleplay and regarding heroes; I encourage the writer-players to roleplay with lowly commoners, but lower classed nobility are also acceptable. Establishing alliances and manipulating the powerfully corrupt in an effort to restore the Crown Prince is also encouraged, but remember to carefully choose who to trust and who to manipulate. In most cases, a recent saying states that: the enemy of my enemy is [i]not[/i] my friend; but all the same, the friend of my friend can definitely be my friend 8). 

Those with power and wealth are very [i]very[/i] intelligent to a fault and can emulate the more nefarious character types from other novel series like Game of Thrones. Alliances can be forged and simultaneously broken should certain parties pursue other interests. Additionally, in the case that Plan A fails miserably, having a plan B, C, D, and even an E can certainly work miracles!
