Say, I just noticed that the first post makes reference to "Grand Provinces," which are the provinces that our characters are affiliated. Does that mean that there are some not-quite-grand (and presumably NPC) provinces milling about too, or is it just us?
I have 2 answers for this:
Yes!
I never considered doing this but this lets me use the character I prided myself so much on in the original RP. Thank you for showing me this.
Would it be acceptable for our characters to bring small contingents of men with them to the capital, or is that a taboo/would that be considered suspicious?
Roland is very much the kind of person that would want to bring a small group of knights and men-at-arms with him, as much for security on the road to the capital as to make a show of power and prestige in front of the other Councillors and to impress the young king with fancy men in shiny armor.
Oh, and does the capital have a name (yet)? What sort of place is it? I'm just curious.
Yes but your men would need to surrender their weapons upon reaching the castle and any group larger than 7-8 would have to find their own housing since the castle cant house an extra 30-40 people in addition to all the lords and serfs in the castle itself.
For now I am going to call the Capitol City Emperiat and the Province containing it will be Falsir (fal-seer). Falsir will be in the exact center of the map. Infact......
The map will be made based on the placement of the provinces. I would like to say that there are badlands to the south, ruled by nomadic tribes and ocean in nearly every direction.
There once was a grand Kingdom by the name of Emperiat. This land was ruled by the beloved king Andèris. He ruled with justice and cared for his subjects. While he was beloved by most, every powerful man has enemies. King Andèris was no different in that and at one point, he was no more. Stabbed in the back by his most trusted adviser, who betrayed his friend and liege for some petty baubles and trinkets. Luck would have it that the king had a healthy son by the name of Elendin and he was quickly appointed as successor. What many failed to realize was that an eleven year old is not really fit to rule a kingdom. Thus an old tradition was brought back from the books. The grand provinces would each send an adviser who would help and train this new king into managing the great kingdom of Emperiat.
But who was to say these advisers were trustworthy?
Welcome to The king is dead, long live the king! This RP will be a nation RP by sort, but with the focus on one character instead of the nation as a whole. You players will be taking the role of the adviser and are send as an ambassador by a province that you yourself create. When creating your nation/province you must think of plenty of things. But we'll get to that later.
What makes this RP special (in my opinion) is that a lot of the RP will be done by PM's (me as third wheel watching those PM's of course). To an extend at least. You see... The court of a grand king isn't nice, and every adviser wants to influence the king into favoring his/her province. There will be alliances, rivalries, backstabbing, bribes, plots and much more behind the back of the wee king. Of course there will also be external threats and stuff that will be happening to the land, and the advise that the players give to the king, one way or another, will influence what happens to the grand Kingdom of Emperiat. Maybe your province breaks the chains and becomes an independent state? It's all up to you!
To elaborate on the 'a lot of the RP will be done by PM's'. I want to make you feel like you don't know everything. When player A and player B make a 'secret' alliance to... say... impose heavy laws on the province of player C, but that meeting was just posted in the IC thread... Yeah, not so secret anymore then. And yes, you can 'play' that player C doesn't know it, but he still has it in the back of his head. Like I said: Give you the feeling that you don't know everything. Of course, when Player A and Player B send a PM to each other, I will receive a copy of this PM as to make sure it is done neat and nicely (as far as that goes with intrigue).
Of course there will be two character sheets. One for your personal character and one for the nation/province you create. Here is a simple template of what that might look like. If you want to spice your character/nation up some more with some extra bits and bops, be my guest.
Name: Age: Appearance: Known for: Dirty little secret: (Doesn't have to be public) Skills: (smooth talker or stealthy assassin?) Motto:
Name of the Province: Name of your liege: Position: (I will be making a map in the near future) Specialty: (What is your province good at? Does it deliver the strongest soldiers? Or is it the home to the best scholars? Maybe it is the supplier of food for the entire kingdom? Who knows!?) History: (A short history of the province and it's relation to the previous king)
Oh, one last thing. Character can die. Now this does not mean you're out per se. Your province will send a new ambassador, but you'll have to restart all your little alliances and stuff like that. This doesn't mean that you can go on a freakin murder spree. If you're going to do that, I'm gonna send the guards to get your ass.
PS: The only race is human. Maybe far away on this world there are other races, but where you will be, there are only humans. Now, for some ground rules. I'm not a strict GM, but there are a couple of things that still need to be said:
- Since this is a Casual RP, I expect at least a couple (2-3) paragraphs per post. In PM posts this is different of course.
- If you send a PM post to somebody, do add me as receiver too. I need to keep a check on things after all.
- Most important: Have fun.
- If you have questions or don't feel comfortable with something, let me know. I'm a benevolent GM after all.
- First PM me your nation and character. After my clearance you can throw it in the Character tab.
Dominique is a plain woman, with blond hair that curls uncontrollably, eyes that are a bit too narrow and a bit to far apart that causes a nose to be a bit wide for the rest of her face. Her lips are thin, but she likes the shape of her face. She's of average height and curves where she feels she needs to curve. Known for: Her acclaimed garden, in which it's said every type of flower can be found, unless of course it's down her sister's throat. Dirty little secret: She killed her father, by poisoning his soup every night, her uncle, by injecting a deadly concoction of herbs into his bloodstream, and her sister by shoving flowers down her throat until she suffocated. Skills: Botany, she can identify any flower all it's properties. Motto: Every flower must grow through the dirt
Name of the Province: Linacre Name of your liege: Damien de la Roche Position: It's in the middle of the country, but very far north. Specialty: They are a swampy land, with many lakes and rivers and provide water/ice to many of the other kingdoms, in addition to dominating the seafood market. History: Linacre was always a quiet country, they weren't powerful, but they had friends enough to keep them protected. Until about thirty years ago when Jean-Paul Babineaux went to the capitol to 'make his country great' and while he did for a little bit, he went a bit too far, tried to assassinate the wrong person at the wrong time using the wrong instrument. He was almost sentenced to death, but was saved by his brother at the last moment. He was exiled to his home country and Linacre fell from grace. It's now barely making it by, though tensions decreased with other nations when Jean-Paul Babineaux and his brother were both found dead in their homes within days of each other.
Looks good. I like the assassination bit in your character.
