Update: 05/17/16: Accepting Character Sheets; [center][b][i]Now looking for someone to control House Blackwell, as they are a crucial part to the storyline, if interested please send a PM to [@TheDuncanMorgan], myself, or comment in the OOC.[/i][/b][/center] --- [img]http://assets3.learni.st/board_image/1809449/image/25309-the-most-stunning-fairytale-castles-of-europe.jpg[/img] The reigning ruler of Formaroth, King John Remonnet has passed away under suspicious circumstances, most whisper it was the cause of poisoning, others say it was natural causes, whatever the case it now leaves the throne open for grabs, as there are no living heirs to the throne to claim it for their own, and continue on the royal lineage. Now any Nation or Individual can now lay claim to the throne of Formaroth, the Battle for the Throne has begun. King John has tried to right the ways of his brother's maniacal reign before him, the empire began to blossom, there was peace to be had, and shared across the land; wealth bloomed, and the other kingdoms that pledged allegiance to the mighty kingdom of the Sypius Plains, where Nyhem, the sprawling citadel that holds sway over the land, worked alongside one another in prosperity. With King John's queen dead three years prior to his own, there is no eligible heir to claim the throne; meaning anyone can stake a claim to the throne. Each member of a House (the ruler's of the individual kingdoms under Formaroth) are eligible to claim the throne for their own personal use. With fear of an impending war looming now that the King has died, each House has sent a diplomat to Nyhem, for a meeting gathered at Miserth Keep to proclaim their reason as to why they should be the next ruler over Formaroth. With previous conflicts occurring between the Houses, most turn to seedy ways to make sure that their member is the one to lay a stake to throne, even if it means placing a drop of poison in their enemies goblet. Even individual characters, whether they are a captain of Nyhem's Royal Army, a powerful Mage, a Cleric, or a Merchant can lay claim to the throne. However, they can also side with any of the Houses in support; this grants Individual characters the ability to maneuver between Houses, act as spies, or even turn the tides of ongoing events. [center][b][u]Something to Consider Before Joining[/u][/b][/center] [hr] This is an Advanced Roleplay, meaning we expect from you to put forth effort, and care into each of your posts. We expect no less than [b][i][u]3[/u][/i][/b] paragraphs from you in each post, we prefer quality over quantity. As this is an Advanced roleplay, we strongly encourage collaborations between you, and fellow players to help minimize dialogue taking up smaller posts. If you need to talk to a character, put it in a collab, it flows smoother, and is easier to be read by other players. In regards to the Character Sheet, please review the following sheets below for Nation, or for Individual. We expect your character, or Nation to be fully fledged, not a novel, but we need to know the details on your characters. Background information is important, and must consist of at least [b][i][u]5[/u][/i][/b] paragraphs minimum, the more the merrier as they say. As for your character's Appearance, a [b][u][i]WRITTEN[/i][/u][/b] description is mandatory, especially if you have an Individual Character. We want to know how tall they are, how much they weigh, what does their hair look like, their eye colour, skin tone, body build, what does their voice sound like when they speak? We want to know as much detail as you can possibly provide. Please refrain from Anime type pictures, and use realistic ones if you wish to use a picture. Grammar is a must, enough for us to understand what you are writing, this is Advanced after all. The same expectations are expected as in any other Advanced roleplay. Please take a look at the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3195561]Reference Sheet[/url], there is much information within that can answer any questions you may have, from practiced religion, NPCs, Kingdom Information, various Maps, and other useful information you may find necessary when writing your CS.
