Hello, people.

Here I bring you another Interest Check by Shadow Lady Incorporated. First up, I'll state a few things:

- Alpha standards apply, in length and grammar use.
- No godmodding is allowed in any way.
- Each writer can take up to two characters.
- Posting frequency: I would require once every other week. As all of my other roleplays, I want it to have a relaxed pace, but not so long as to get buried and forgotten. Should anyone need more time, it'll be considered, though.

The thread is marked as Sandbox, so I won't be doing a complete GM'ing. I want us all to create the plot, and I will provide twists/NPC's when needed. The plot is basically court intrigue, romances, drama, political plotting, and maybe even a few murders here and there. I will develop further if this takes off.

The characters in blue are the ones I need taken to start. Every other character can slip in with the story already rolling.

King (reserved, Fain)
King's confessor (reserved, Gunther)
King's best friend
King's sister
King's counselor (reserved, TheLostNavigator)
King's former mistress (reserved, Imagine)
Queen (I shall be taking this one)
Queen's sister (reserved, Asteria)
Queen's brother
Queen's ladies in waiting (up to 3)

If anyone gets interested, but wants to try for another character, it can be negotiated. Thanks for reading!

I'd be interested in taking the role of the king's adviser. Power behind the throne and all ;)

Coolio. I'll place it as reserved. Hopefully we can get more people that'll be up for it.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. "

Consider your seat saved, Old Man. Will pick one that won't put a strain on your old back.

I prefer to stand.

Questions:
1. I assume the Royal Court is in a fictional land?
2. Regardless, which nation should we base it on? At least for naming conventions?
3. We privately discussed religion. Since Catholicism was a major factor in Midievel Europe, I expect it will remain in this RP? as the Court Confessor (Bishop), this will be a major facility for my writing.
4. Can we have a year or decade? I love doing the research. :)
5. Can I have a drunken abbot who makes wine or beer with a house full of Friars?

Suit yourself. I didn't put pins on the chairs this time.

Answers:

1- Yes, fictional works out better, as we don't have to worry a lot about getting down to the details.
2- The base for this idea was the tv show The Tudors, so naming conventions will follow Tudor England.
3- Catholicism will be the main religion for the roleplay.
4- General time setting (view 2) would be Tudor England in general, before the break with Catholic Church, so the conventions, clothing, etc, etc will follow this.
5- Why not? It was the kind of thing they used to make.

Oh man, I'd be interested in joining this if that's cool? I was thinking of playing the role of court Jester. Well, Jester/adviser/spy to/for the queen? It could perhaps be a stand in for the Queens father? I have a juicy Idea for why he's there but I don't want it to be public knowledge right now just in case you agree to let me join. I can PM you my idea if you like?

@Yin Jingshen

Sounds like a fun idea! Feel free to PM me when you read this, so we can adjust accordingly. Now I'm really curious about this idea!

I'd love to play the queen's sister or one of her ladies? Do you have a preference?

Not really, honestly. I want people to write the characters that make them happy, so everyone have fun. =) So, really, pick out the one you feel you'll be happier writing, and I'll add you to the list with the one you pick out.

Yin Jingshen will be dropping out. I'll be doing some work on the plot and not taken characters so we can get things going with the people we have and still keep it open if someone chooses to join us later on.

I'd have equal interest in either the king's sister, or the king's former mistress.

I do enjoy playing darker characters...with the caveat I would play her as a person with depth, with some sort of convoluted background. I don't do two-dimensional villains, whose sole purpose is to give good guys somebody to defeat.

That would be great. I'm aiming for a human villain, with good qualities and flaws.
And in the court intrigue game, I would say there aren't really good and bad guys.
Let me know which character you prefer, and I'll edit the first post when I get on my laptop.

Sounds good...I will take the role of the former mistress, in that case. This will be my first story here. Look forward to working with you people!

Imagine's role is reserved, and I have taken off the role of the Queen's father for the moment. The OOC should be up either today or tomorrow night.
