If Alfi ever visits the Imperial Palace at Berlin before he's 14, perhaps with his family as formal guests? Then I can see him and Millie being acquaintances, fellow peers of high society or something like that, haha. Whaddya think?


I kind of have a background thought for him and I definitely could see his parents/family visiting other families. I think, I am going to have Alpheus's and his siblings kind of be that noble family that has kids to arrange to other nobles/royal families to help keep the genetic pool broadened except Alpheus's diagnosis would have booted him out quickly from that so he just kinda did a bunch of visits to learn about different families.

I could see him being at the royal empire just because his parents dragged him along and him getting in trouble with the cooks and bakers because he steals a pastry or a roll or two.

Added classes and clubs! I've also started putting together some lore ideas and a direction to sort of take things. I'm going to fill out the starting rumor/plot hook in the IC thread if you'd like to take a look there. It is still subject to change pending plot hook ideas that come from characters and their relationships as they are created.

I'm actually quite excited to see how your characters handle some of this plot! <3

Also, if anyone has any ideas for drama related to countries, please, please send me those. I'm rather shit at government related dramas and intrigue and could use the help in fleshing out some of the subplots that might be happening in the background.

If I'm making a character, it'd definitely be an overseas student from America. America would probably also just be funny to be from in general, since it'd be so divorced from anything monarchist to begin with. In complete contrast with how this version of europe seems to be.

I guess one classroom drama could just be something like "damn American students not respecting our titles" or smth, as a basic piece of drama that could come out of it.

"Ye damn Colonists, git off our lawn!"

So if @Crowvette goes ahead with their idea of that somewhat-literal burger-chowing American PC, we'll have 2 'Mericans (so far) in the very monarchist, very traditionalist (for this RP's standards) elite academy. šŸ˜‚

Go, dew it, I want to see Millie just seething at the sheer audacity of these sons and daughters of jumped-up rebels.

the 1-2 characters actually from a country with nobility: I heard the queen is sick and there's an uprising in x town.

The Americans: ...what a shame.

Looking through the thread, Iā€™m not actually seeing much in the way of mechanics or lore for how magic generally functions. Is there stuff that just hasnā€™t been added yet, or is it a sort of thing of ā€œdo whatever so long as it makes senseā€?

Mostly just do whatever as long as it makes sense. I'm generally going to be following the same kind of mechanics that DnD 5e would follow, but I don't want our story to get bogged down in deep mechanics. Magic comes from books, innate talent for it, and the spells themselves. But if you want to splash in some other stuff like the enchantment magic

Just letting the room know that I got infected with folksā€™ energy and struck some inspiration; I pitched at and got the ā€˜okā€™ to work on a disinherited Japanese noble of the imperial line and their (definitely not a ninja) ā€˜knightā€™.

I also just realized that, with the lore of magic being banned from use for commoners, this version of America probably has some additions to the second amendmentā€¦

Also probably another point that encourages some to immigrate to America?

Kinda surprised hearing everyone planning on busting out two characters for this. Anyhow, I'll be making a Knight. Or maybe a Noble. Depends on how I'm feeling after lunch.

Iā€™m definitely up for splitting up my idea and going halfsies with folks if people want to do that, Iā€™ll be focusing my mind on the noble half of my concept for the time being to that end. People can feel free to hit me up if they want to do some collaboration.

Actually, since we got magic and mages running around, do monsters and supernatural beings exist? Do gods? Etc.

Yes, however they are not believed to be real. Or at least are so rare that they aren't believed to be real. I do have plans for some magic beings/beasties to show up in the plot.

If you guys think it would be more fun to have the supernatural more present and less myth, we can do that too! But at present the plan is for them to be incredibly rare and unheard of. Which, I think makes for more mystery and intrigue surrounding them.

It'd be funny if all Gods were just powerful mages from an era where knowledge about magic was easier to safeguard and keep secret.

That idea would be hilarious but a very realistic situation that could happen.

Iā€™m certainly going to tease and toy with some of these very ideas, considering the Japanese Imperial Lineage goes all the way back to the sun god of Japanese religion.
