~When Royalty Collides~ General Interest Check

[UberBlutwurst]

Seeing as the current gender ratio is 2 girls to 0 guys (unless I counted wrong), I'll be making a male character. If it is needed, I can make a female one to balance the ratio.

Hello

[Filthy Mudblood]

I am very, very interested. Character sheet on the way!

[HylianRose]

Why do you do this to me? D:

I think I'll join but I can't seem to find my sheet. If someone could link me, that'd be great. Pretty sure I had Henry in this RP and his face claim was Daniel Henney.

Which'll get confusing since I've started using his face in another RP too. Lol.

Here's my finished character. :)

Feora Isabel Swinth of Wulfswinth

Feora Isabel Swinth of Wulfswinth

_{"Be strong enough to stand alone, be yourself enough to stand apart, but be wise enough to stand together when the time comes."- Mark Amend}

Feora Isabel Swinth
Pronounced as (FEE-or-uh)

• Nickname: Little Wolf is what some call her

• Birth date and age: August 28, Currently 18

• Sexuality: Heterosexual

• In Depth Appearance:
Feora is above average in height at 5 foot, 10 inches. She is around 120 pounds, give or take, and has a slender, not overly curvaceous body. Her notably long legs are nicely toned from years of horseback riding, and her skin is usually lightly tanned from spending time outside. She has an oval shaped face, Greek nose, and beautiful forest green eyes. Her wavy dark brown hair reaches to about mid-back. She prefers wearing her hair up or in a braid. She typically doesn't wear a lot, if any, makeup or jewelry. Being a fairly active person, she dresses in what's more comfortable rather than fashionable. Jeans, a "nicer" top, and boots is her go to outfit. She wears a lot of neutral, earth tones. When away from home, she will try harder on her appearance. Her nicer gowns are green and gold, the colors of her kingdom.

• Personality:

• Secretive • Intelligent • Fiery spirit •

Feora has a fiery spirit hidden just below the surface. A spirit that seeks to be free from the oppression of living up to others high expectations. She is secretive in the sense that what she lets people see is not truly representative of who she is. It's a façade that covers up the more unruly and ill-mannered side of her. In other words, it covers up the side of her that is not like a princess. She has been taught to not speak out of turn, to be ladylike and diplomatic, and to at least feign interest in trivial matters. She struggles to do so because she is truthfully quite the opposite. She is naturally opinionated, and she would rather hang out with rough housing guys than the fashionable royal women her age. She also would rather have an intellectual conversation than talk about the latest fashion and gossip. She at heart is down-to-earth and doesn't consider herself above others just because she is royalty. In the end, she is fiercely loyal to those she cares about.

Likes:

• Learning
• Martial arts
• Tactical planning
• Being outside
• Animals, particularly horses
• Horseback riding

Dislikes:

• Being controlled
• Arranged marriage
• People who are disrespectful or treat her like she is helpless
• Society's portrayal of what women should be
• Trying to live up to others' expectations
• Those who prey on the weak or profit from the suffering of others

Fears:

• Failing her kingdom and her people
• Forever having to pretend to be what others want her to be
• Not being able to protect those she cares about

• Biography
Known for its lineage of influential kings and strong military forces, the kingdom of Wulfswinth is respected by some and simply feared by others. With that said, Feora grew up fairly accustomed to diplomacy and militaristic ways, though she was taught more on the former and less on the latter. The truth was that while other little girls dreamed of being a princess, she dreamed of being a soldier. However, such aspirations were against the status quo of a princess. That didn't stop her from watching the soldiers, learning from what she saw, and practicing martial arts in secret.

When Feora was 8, her mother Queen Adelaide died from complications during child birth. Unfortunately, the baby didn't survive either. Feora was left to be "raised" by her father King Matthias. He was a busy man, which meant she was watched over and taught by others. What little bonding time she did have with her father was spent horseback riding with him. Sometimes she could convince him into letting her accompany him on hunting trips. When she wasn't being tutored or being taken to meetings and balls, she was usually left to her own devices. Over the years, she constantly felt like she was being scrutinized by someone. It caused her to repress her true feelings and desires when in public. Her true self was a secret that no one realized they were missing out on. Nothing could stifle her desire to be a solider, that need to fight for her kingdom on the battlefield. Ultimately, she didn't hate being a princess per se but hated having to live up to everyone else's expectations. Why couldn't she just be herself?

She thought she had a decent relationship with her father. Thought being the operative word. He betrayed her trust in a way that threatened to shatter her hope for a decent future. He dropped the bombshell that at this year's upcoming Grand Ball she would meet the man she was arranged to marry. The thing is, she had no prior knowledge of this arrangement, and she certainly didn't agree with it! The question now is will she submit to the fate expected of her or rebel against it so she can be who she wants to be?

• Theme Song:
Numb - Linkin Park
_{"I don’t know what you’re expecting of me; put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there; become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you
Can’t you see that you’re smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
‘Cause everything that you thought I would be has fallen apart right in front of you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take!”}

Here is Zhou again. Totally didn't just copy paste this like a lazy ass

Zhou Mei Xianshi

Prince Zhou Mei Xianshi of Liang

_{"The past is history, the future is a mysterious; that is why we call today the present"-Old Turtle Master Dude}

Nickname:
The Pirate Prince
King of Blades (Zhou made it up himself, he's rather proud of it)
Hai Wang
Xian
Zhou
Xian Xian (child name used only by his father)

Birth Date:
July 3rd, 1997

Age:
18

Sexuality:
Straight

In Depth Appearance:
Zhou is one of those people you can immediately spot as not being of royalty or nobility in terms of mannerisms in the traditional sense. His slick hair is tainted with the salty scent of the sea as its often combed over in one rough, seemingly unmanaged way or another (sometimes with the use of copious amounts of hair spray and gel). A wicked, adventurous smile adorns his face with several small cuts and bruises are hidden by make up cover some more of both his face and body. Zhou's tall build has a good amount of muscles built up on it after years of fist fights and manual labor. When he walks, there is a notable swagger and sway to the nearly six foot man, Zhou's legs from all his time on the ship yet when he would other wise appear to become unbalanced, his balance never breaks. From time to time, Zhou might have a bit of beard or a chin stubble, keeping it for a few days before returning to his clean shaved looks.

Despite preferring more common clothes and sometimes pirate "armor", he does give in to wear more formal clothing. He's divided between modern suits with trenchcoats and traditional Chinese robes.

Personality:

• Rough • Loyal • Reckless •

Zhou is untrained in the ways of a noble. Sure, he knows his manners and not what to do around guests but he doesn't know the fine intricacies of being of royal blood. Being gentle or exercising restraint is not his strong suit and is prone to using aggressive language or physical blows against those he deems that its necessary against. Zhou has a rather warped philosphy and see being too passive as a sign of weakness as it constantly giving in. He's blunt, uncouth, and snarky, but he'll follow you to the end if you convince him too.

He's appearance often gives off the look of lacking grace and elegance, like playing heavy metal in the middle of a classical orchestra. Zhou isn't afraid of what other royals would see as "dishonorable" or "disrespectful", only remembering a certain amount of social cues at any given moment. Zhou also tends to do hell-face turns on what he says on occasion, ignoring his own hypocrisy and flaws in his logic and can get a bit childish. But he does keep at least the look of a someone his age, just a bit... rougher around the corners. He's got style and he can have class, its just not the classy style expected of a royal gentleman.

Likes:

• Talking to people and telling stories both true and false
• His old crew/squad/groupie/gang/etc
• Action movies
• Basically doing whatever he wants
• The wealth that comes with being royalty
• Progressive politics
• A wide variety of games
• Really good seafood.

Dislikes:

• "All work and no play"
• "Noble Pride" (the "we're better than everyone else since we're nobles" thing)
• Non-violence/Passiveness/Innocence
• People who try to bring up/insult his past and the people he used to be with
• Most types of alcohol (Zhou is actually surprisingly light headed)
• People who try to push work on to him
• Having to keep up with what he calls the "facade of nobility"
• Tabloid magazines

Fears:

• Having his past exclusively define what he is
• No longer being of royalty and having the perks that come with it
• Any situation that looks like it could be from a horror movie

Biography:
Zhou's story starts when his father and the uncle of Mai Mei, Ming Mei, was young and stupid and intoxicated and impregnated a woman. Once Ming had gotten word that the woman he impregnated gave birth, he had sent men to make sure that news would never get out and possibly besmirch his political chances. However, in her final hours, Zhou's mother hid her baby away and put him out of reach Ming's grasp, sending baby Zhou away on the Yellow River in a basket with a note that would explain everything, but what his actual name was. In her haste, his mother never gave him a proper name, just referring to him as just "prince".

In his basket boat, Zhou floated down river until he was picked up by not just anyone, but pirates and smugglers and criminals. The baby bastard prince had been picked up the the 54 Immortals, a group of pirates and smugglers who raided ships off the coast of Liang. There was an idea of ransoming the kid but then the leaders of the 54i came down, Ironhand Han. He took notice of the child who floated down river and how it smiled and reached out for him, even with his metal fake limbs.

Taking immediate liking of the boy, Ironhand Han proclaimed that this new boy would be his son and named him Zhou as a genetic disorder prevented him from ever having a child of his own. He raised the prince as his own and took him, turning him into a fine pirate raider. However, Han always hid the note from his mother so that Zhou would never know where he was really from and turn him in.

Of course, fate has an interesting way with things and one day when Zhou was 15, his mother's letter had surfaced and come to his attention after a friend had found it while room cleaning. Upon discovering the letter, an intense shouting match between Zhou and Han ensued with the young Zhou standing his ground in the face of the much older man. Finally, at the urging of his crew, Han decided to let Zhou go and find the father who once wanted him dead as long he kept in touch and found a way to expunge their crimes.

Having wandered around China, picking up news and bits that he didn't hear before, Zhou was slightly shocked that his father had made himself king and decided it was time to pay him a visit. After figuratively and literally kicking down the doors to the throne room, Zhou demanded an audience with his father, now Emperor of Liang, to which Ming had allowed. After the revelation of Zhou having a half sister who was heir, Mai Mei, and half a day's worth of discussions, Zhou was declared a legal (if not bastard) prince but would not be heir to the throne. Instead, he was place at the command of the Imperial Navy and had hired the 54i as "mercenaries" effectively expunging them of their crimes so long they didn't go back to pirating.

Since then, Zhou has been getting used to the ins and outs of being royalty, enjoying the fruits of he new found wealth. He suspects that Mai thought that he was part of some great conspiracy but the two have since warmed up well to each other's presences. However, Zhou still finds her "royalty lessons" to be a pain in the ass.

Grand Duchess Elizaveta Petrovna Romanova Of The Noslainia Empire

Elizaveta Petrovna Ramazanova

Nickname: Veta

Birth Date And Age: November 13, 1994 | 21

Sexuality: Heterosexual

---

---

In Depth Appearance

Elizaveta stands around 5'6" in height and is a slender 115lbs; possessing natural sandy blonde hair and bright azure eyes that are set off by her peachy complexion and full dusty rose tinted lips. She has almond shaped eyes, high cheekbones and a strong jawline; all prevalent among her family line.

Though rooted in old world customs and charm, she adores modern style; preferring to wear the latest trends and color combinations, though all of them constantly retaining class and elegance. Her attire always consists of a well thought out ensemble that is planned down to the very last detail while in public.

When relaxing she will usually opt for cotton button down blouses and tailored jeans, though still making sire each detail is in place; even her messy hair styles will be thoughtout and meticulously chosen. Never one to just grab something and go, she tends to plan out her wardrobe days in advance with multiple choices for any occasion that may arise.

---

---

Personality

• Benevolent • Contemplative • Scrupulous • Argumentative •

Elizaveta is a kind and old soul, carrying herself as if she is from another time period. A graceful young woman who is as comfortable among the aristocrats as she is with her own people. She will not hesitate to stop an important meeting to help a servant pick up a spilt glass or exit a procession to hand over an umbrella to a child or elderly person if they are stuck in the rain; a trait that has endeared her to her people.

She is a person who will look at a situation from all angles and perspectives; weighing the pros and cons before she makes a decision. She is meticulous when it comes to details; whether that comes to what she says, how she acts, a choice for her nation, or even down to how she chooses what to wear. Each detail is carefully planned out with a specific reason and purpose. Now that does not mean she takes long to favor speak, she is quick witted and knows when to trust her gut.

For all her good though Elizaveta can be confrontational; if she feels people are not listening to reason, being cruel, or just holding their position to be stubborn she will let them know how closed minded and superficial they are being. She has a sharp tongue and does not care who she insults or offends if the situation calls for it.

Biography

Elizaveta is the only surviving child of Alexander and Dominika Romanov, the former Czar and Czarina of Noslainia; making her the sole heir of her empire and the last of the Romanov Line. The only other surviving member being her Grandmother Alexandria Vladlena Romanova, the Grand Czarina.

The Grand Duchess was raised with all the pomp and circumstance befitting the next Czarina of an Empire. Schooled, from a young age, in all things she would need to be able to run the government; politics, various languages so that she could easily converse with other nations, etiquette, history, warfare and so forth.

Up until her sixteen birthday she was sequestered away behind the walls of the palace, constantly surrounded by guards, as her grandmother governed the empire. Elizaveta was not allowed outside the palace walls or around her people until then. She studied hard, always wishing to prove to the Grand Czarina that she was ready.

Since her sixteenth birthday however things have been very different. The Grand Czarina presented her to the people and Elizaveta took a very hands on approach. Quickly inserting herself among her people and working with them to help rebuild her still shaky empire. Listening carefully to their concerns and not afraid to get her hands dirty and help them in any way she could, quickly winning the hearts of her people.

Now 21 it is time, by the tradition of her nation, to be wed. This is not something deep down that she agrees with but Elizaveta is so rooted in the old ways, this is one thing she had not vocalized her opinion on. She is determined to do what is needed to keep her Empire together and she understands that part of this includes marriage and producing an heir.

[UberBlutwurst]

After a couple of days of trying, I'm going to go ahead and say that I can't really get a character made, at least not one I'm comfortable with. With that said, I'll be dropping out from this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Avanhelsing]

Well I am so very interested. I will have to look around my books for a good historical person to use as a basis. He will probably be bisexual for the added drama.
