In the kingdom of Aevotor, prince Kristopher is the youngest of two brothers in the royal family. Unlike his older brother, Kristopher did not partake in activities such as horseback riding, marksmanship, dueling, or jousting. Instead, the prince spent his time gazing out the window of his room at the forests that lay just outside the city walls and wondering what it might be like to walk freely among the trees. But that would never happen, for Kristopher, born with frail bones, must remain safely indoors, surrounded by guards at all times.

During his youth, Kristopher had no one except for his brother, Klaus, his sister, Mara, and his tutor, a bright man named Gabriel. For years, these three people kept Kristopher’s loneliness at bay and helped to foster his love of reading — a pastime that would later prevent him from feeling greater despair at his situation. However, as time wore on, Kristopher outgrew his need for a tutor, and Klaus became busy preparing to take the throne as their father became too old to rule.

A few years later, when Kristopher reached the age of 26, Klaus assumed the throne and the prince was left with only his younger sister to keep him company. Even still, she often went absent as she visited her friends outside of the palace. Kristopher had no one. Then, war threatened the doorstep of Aevotor when opposing kingdoms believed the new ruler to be weaker than his father. Klaus, put in an unfortunate position, was then forced to seek alliances with other kingdoms in order to ensure the safety of his people.

Eventually, a prospective alliance arose with a powerful empire named Vipia, and Klaus lept at the opportunity to empower his kingdom. However, to ensure the alliance was secure, Kristopher would have to marry the princess of Vipia, combining the two ruling families forever. In spite of never meeting the princess, Kristopher had no objections. He hoped marriage would rid him of his loneliness. Unfortunately, in an act of good faith, Klaus promised the emperor of Vipia that Kristopher would be the one to make the journey for the wedding.

Knowing there would be many kingdoms who sought to sabotage the alliance, Klaus put together a royal guard comprising of his finest soldiers in the hopes of ensuring the safety of his frail brother. Then, a few days before the party was about to disembark, a battalion of soldiers from Vipia arrived, led by an incredibly powerful battle-sorceress hand picked by the emperor to escort Kristopher across the lands.

A day before the journey, Kristopher sat at the windowsill in his room when Klaus entered and expressed his fears for the coming trial. The king then went on to explain that the woman who will guide Kristopher through the lands is immensely qualified. Kristopher wondered aloud when he will first meet his prospective guardian when someone knocked on the door. Klaus turned to look at the great oaken door and smiled.

“That must be her now,” he said.

I am looking for another roleplayer (Female, 18+ only, please) who can play the powerful leader of the guard for me whilst I play Kristopher. I seek someone who can match the quality of the post above and consistently deliver at least 1-2 paragraphs per post. I will be the one to host the roleplay and the world, delivering conflicts that must be overcome over the course of the journey. This is, by no means, an infinite roleplay, and there will be an end (presumably once Kristopher reaches Vipia). Furthermore, I am not opposed to talking about plot points and lore via OOC.

If you are interested, send me a message with your character sheet (no strict format, I’m gonna leave it up to you, just make sure you have the basics of name, age, history etc.). If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
