There's a reason why every King needs a Queen to rule with propriety, and said "reason" is found within a simple, black-and-white game of classic chess: the King needs his Queen to survive. She runs the show behind the scenes and she protects him when his own servants refuse to submit, refuse to bow.

That's... how every classic fairytale goes, right?

The fairytale our parents promised us late at night when they tucked us in bed, kissed us goodnight. If only they'd told us how cruel the real world is instead of drilling our heads with fruitless ideas of love and happy endings. As Ebenezer Scrooge once said, and I quote: "Bah, humbug!"

It's nonsense.

In the real world, women are seen as inferior, lowly beings. They're merely trophies to wealthy business tycoons; and more women you have on-hand, the more polished your name and status become. But it's not just women they want, oh no, no, no: it's too easy to buy a hooker from one of those shady brothels, there's no way you can impress anyone with just those. People want to see wives: they want to see women devoting their lives for your sorry-ass, kissing your feet after you return from work tired and irritable.

It's sad but it's our reality.

The situation has definitely improved over the years but who's to say what transpires, what conspires behind the drawn curtains? Because amongst the upper class, the vile act of arranged marriage is still imposed on innocent youngsters for the sake of conceiving an heir and running the family business!

Money can buy you happiness - fuck anyone who says otherwise. But love and loyalty? From someone who isn't lacking in fortunes either?

Well... we can put that to test right here.

Right now.

Alright, let's get this out of the way from the get-go: 18+ members only. I can imagine this RP tackling pretty heavy subjects at certain points and I do not feel comfortable writing them out with minors.

002
This is a first-come-first-serve RP and you can reserve a role for yourself after you've been accepted.

003
As for the whole "being accepted" part, I'll be PM-ing you after you show interest in joining. Please don't mind if I ask for a writing sample.

004
This is a literate roleplay, meaning that you are expected to have a decent grasp on spelling, grammar and sentence structure. Whether or not English is your native language, doesn't matter to me because hey, it isn't mine either.

005
As for post length, I'm looking for a minimum of 500 words per post which is 2~3 decent-sized paragraphs. In 3rd-person-perspective, by the way.

006
Post frequency will be a minimum of one post per week.

007
This will be a Discord server for OOC. And OOC acitivity is a must.

008
Please interact with all the members and remain polite and respectful. OOC drama will not be tolerated and you'll be expected to sort your differences out of the server and ASAP.

009
Realistic face claims only!

010
Since this RP looks for members filling out roles, I'm looking for players who won't bail or ghost in the first couple of weeks. I understand if IRL calls for more attention or if you lose interest but please don't apply if you aren't serious about committing and sticking around.

011
The "roles" only outline the basics about your character's mechanics and behaviorisms. Feel free to give them as elaborate of a backstory as you desire, make them unique, make them relatable, make them likeable (which is going to be... a little difficult because most of them aren't the best people, you know?)

012
YC's career is up to you! The only thing to keep in mind is that these people are rich. Like, fucking loaded. So you can make them whatever you want: a gang leader, a choreographer, a CEO, a fashion designer, an actor, the President's child - it's all up in the air!

013
Your character's spouse will be announced by me once all the characters are up

014
The "official" relationships will all be m/f B U T this is a pro-LGBTQ+ RP and YC can be gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual - anything you want. In fact, I can imagine the characters, be it consciously or unconciously, looking outside of their marriage and you know, falling in love with someone who isn't their partner. If that's still a little vague and confusing, let me sort it out with an example: the Warning Sign and Violent Delight are married and the latter's having an affair with the Golden Keeper because bitch, we gay!

015
YC may not get along with their spouse but keep in mind that they're stuck with them. So while it is very amusing to see a couple dispute, not get along and never settle their differences, it's equally as satiating to see one that is making an effort to work things out despite their partner's disagreeableness (while having an affair behind their back, oh no.)

016
YC may have had multiple motivations behind their proposal. If anything, they, themselves, might not even have sent the proposal in the first place! It could've been politically-charged and discussed between YC's and their spouse's parents (basically, an arranged marriage.) However YC ended up with their partner can be canvassed between you and the other party involved after the "official ships" are announced. One thing to note: there was no mutual romantic intent (it could've been blackmail, oml.)

017
The age range I'm going for is mid-twenties to mid-thirties. No characters under the age of twenty-four please.

018
Give YC a dangerous secret that could either, potentially, harm them if leaked, or cause major public embarrassment if disseminated. Something like... I don't know, YC could be a cross-dresser, dealing with black money, previously involved with terrorists? Get creative with it!

019
If you have any questions I haven't addressed yet, leave a reply on this thread and I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can.

but my heart knows
[div class="rolesclose"]
[/div]
All eight roles on this list are now taken. In order to join, you'll have to pitch your own character outlines/ideas. Upon request, I will gladly aid you in the brainstorming process!


Violent Delight — TAKEN
With mysterious eyes that glint like the edge of a blade, and a powerful personality that asks—no, demands your attention, he's the worst and simultaneously, the best thing that could ever happen to you - it all depends on the situation you catch him in. While he can be playful and charming, the other side of the coin is just as deadly and lethal: he has a hard time accepting errors and moments that don't go exactly according to plan so you best play along. Don't want to end up like the last man that double-crossed him, right? No one ever heard about that because that's just the upper hand money can buy you.
TL;DR: he's the impatient fucker with anger management issues.


Capricious Prince — TAKEN
The epitome of every Jason and Brian in your everyday, low-budget teen romance movies: he's the man every girl dreams of marrying at one point in her life, and we don't blame them. Who wouldn't fall for that megawatt smile and chiselled jaw? He's been confessed to by countless people and praised all his life, it's not surprising that he allowed it to get to his head. Which is exactly why he wants a partner that can level him and isn't afraid to tell them exactly where they're lacking and how they can "better" themselves. Strap in, girls and boys, and get ready for the biggest guilt-trip of your life.
TL;DR: he's a patronizing asshole disguised as Prince Charming.


Fickle Abstraction — TAKEN
It's what growing up as the youngest in an extremely successful household does to you: makes you question whether you'll ever be something other than a diamond that reflects your siblings' achievements, whether you'd swap lives with the next pedestrian you see behind the seven-figure fast car you bought last weekend, whether you even deserve to stand amidst your magnate family members, your mogul siblings, your own parents. It started sometime in his mid-teen years: when he shut off his emotions, turned the switch off to his own wants and desires and faced the girl his parents set him up with. "Will you love me?" He'd kissed her for good measure, "Always." (They lasted about two weeks.)
TL;DR: he's the compulsive liar with verbal skills that could rival a door-to-door salesman selling essential oils to soccer moms in the suburb.


Golden Keeper — TAKEN
He really should've paid attention in seventh grade when one of his classmates gave that presentation on how money is an unfaithful lover: it will take you wherever you wish, give you the taste of freedom but never let you take the wheel because... little did his thirteen-year-old self know, at the age of ___, he'd end up signing a metaphorical slave contract, selling his entire self off to acquiring more, accumulating more. It doesn't matter how he gets his dirty little hands on it; be it by blackmailing smaller businesses, drafting misleading contracts, seducing CEOs - he'll do whatever it takes because after all, according to him and what he proudly tells his co-workers over drinks, if you can still count your money, you aren't rich enough.
TL;DR: he's the sneaky, sleazy, sly gold-digger who'll be eyeing your watch before deciding if you're worth "pursuing."


Holographic Flashbang — TAKEN
She's the icon that not only the women in our society need, but the men equally so if not more: the perfect example of harmonious and professional, having found an equilibrium between balancing her personal life and devoting time to herself while maintaining a hectic, full-bodied career at the same time. You won't ever catch her slipping on camera and her Twitter feed is filled with nothing but positivity. She's very open about her past life and struggles, letting every girl in the world know that it is possible to start from scratch and build an empire. Patience is key and she's got tons.
TL;DR: she's a self-made queen who frequently holds seminars to promote mental health and well-being.


Aeonian Dream — TAKEN
Born with a silver spoon shoved three metres up her ass, to say she's a little bit of a brat would be a major understatement. From a young age, her parents spoiled her and bought her her every wish before it even managed to leave her lips - and it doesn't help that she was their only child and constantly hogging the spotlight to all their attention. They overlooked her increasingly disrespectful attitude, blinded by rose-coloured glasses of love and splurged and splurged on their only daughter. Weekend trips to Tokyo, Spain, Bordeaux weren't uncommon either. Neither was seeing her Snap stories filled with pictures of customized jet planes, holy fuck.
TL;DR: she's daddy's precious princess with a god complex bigger than Faye Dunaway's ego.


Iridescent Riptide — TAKEN
Referred to by the masses as Nation's Fairy and Nation's Little Sister, she might actually be some kind of God-descent angel sent to motivate the rest of humanity to improve on some of their "less gallant" qualities - as she likes to phrase it. She's a sweetheart who'll bring her entire precinct floor coffee during her morning round and remember everyones' orders down to a tee. It is her extremely gregarious that's earned her an antagonistic mass of haters as well, and it may or may not also have something to do with the video that leaked last year of her [insert something problematic here]...
TL;DR: she's an absolute dear who'll greet you with a smile every morning but won't hesitate to square you the fuck up if you take advantage of her compassion.


Warning Sign — TAKEN
She swears she doesn't have a personal agenda against your sorry ass but it's really difficult to tell with her sparkling eyes and amused simper, the dice she mindlessly tosses from one hand to another before rolling them onto the wooden board sitting in between both of you and smiling, "Chess is my game, love." The frayed thread doesn't tie up, do they? And yet, you believe her like the fool you are, flowing like putty in her hands while she pulls on your ripped edges. You almost make it too easy, to be honest.
TL;DR: the two-faced manipulative freak who's 100% out to get you - and no, for the last time, it doesn't matter what you didn't do.

So if I still haven't made it painstakingly obvious what this RP's about, let me just go over it one last time, in my crude-ass manner: it's about married hot messes who may or may not get along, may or may not like each other, may or may not be cheating on their spouse with another married fucker.

The reason they chose Botanica Weddings to plan their honeymoon was that they couldn't find a middle ground and thought it best for a professional, high-end service to decide the niceties for them.

This is a slice of life RP that will follow our odd couples on their honeymoon (they'll be on the same plane, in the same hotel, in the same place at the same time because, for the sake of plot convenience, they all happened to buy the same package.)

Secrets will be uncovered, unusual romances will blossom, and hearts will be broken and mended so join me (us?) on this emotional roller coaster. I hope we can have lots of fun with this!

On a side note: I'm super proud of this code, oml. I spent my entire weekend bashing my head against the keyboard because I wanted to make it a lot more... complicated practical but it just wasn't working out so I went with something simple lol.

P.S. If you're wondering why I said to click on the computer icon is because on my iPhone, the scrolls on the notepads weren't working for some reason, but they were on my Huawei and Samsung. I didn't want to risk anything so I ended up going the extra mile lmao. I wanted to make it a lot fancier with some cool fade-in's and slide-up's but something just kept going wrong so I said fuck it and went the bland hide/show thing. Anyways, I'll cut to the chase: can someone please help me tf out with this??

Speaking of which: big, big, big thanks to @Alteras and @glucose guardian for their help. I seriously have the dumbest questions but they were really chill, y'know. So... yeah.

Anyways, I'll see y'all soon (hopefully lmao) <3

And again, if you have any questions you'd rather have answered before you join, don't hesitate to PM me or reply on here. I'll get back to you as soon as possible c:

There's a reason why every King needs a Queen to rule with propriety, and said "reason" is found within a simple, black-and-white game of classic chess: the King needs his Queen to survive. She runs the show behind the scenes and she protects him when his own servants refuse to submit, refuse to bow.

That's... how every classic fairytale goes, right?

The fairytale our parents promised us late at night when they tucked us in bed, kissed us goodnight. If only they'd told us how cruel the real world is instead of drilling our heads with fruitless ideas of love and happy endings. As Ebenezer Scrooge once said, and I quote: "Bah, humbug!"

It's nonsense.

In the real world, women are seen as inferior, lowly beings. They're merely trophies to wealthy business tycoons; and more women you have on-hand, the more polished your name and status become. But it's not just women they want, oh no, no, no: it's too easy to buy a hooker from one of those shady brothels, there's no way you can impress anyone with just those. People want to see wives: they want to see women devoting their lives for your sorry-ass, kissing your feet after you return from work tired and irritable.

It's sad but it's our reality.

The situation has definitely improved over the years but who's to say what transpires, what conspires behind the drawn curtains? Because amongst the upper class, the vile act of arranged marriage is still imposed on innocent youngsters for the sake of conceiving an heir and running the family business!

Money can buy you happiness - fuck anyone who says otherwise. But love and loyalty? From someone who isn't lacking in fortunes either?

Well... we can put that to test right here.

Right now.

Alright, let's get this out of the way from the get-go: 18+ members only. I can imagine this RP tackling pretty heavy subjects at certain points and I do not feel comfortable writing them out with minors.

002
This is a first-come-first-serve RP and you can reserve a role for yourself after you've been accepted.

003
As for the whole "being accepted" part, I'll be PM-ing you after you show interest in joining. Please don't mind if I ask for a writing sample.

004
This is a literate roleplay, meaning that you are expected to have a decent grasp on spelling, grammar and sentence structure. Whether or not English is your native language, doesn't matter to me because hey, it isn't mine either.

005
As for post length, I'm looking for a minimum of 500 words per post which is 2~3 decent-sized paragraphs. In 3rd-person-perspective, by the way.

006
Post frequency will be a minimum of one post per week.

007
This will be a Discord server for OOC. And OOC acitivity is a must.

008
Please interact with all the members and remain polite and respectful. OOC drama will not be tolerated and you'll be expected to sort your differences out of the server and ASAP.

009
Realistic face claims only!

010
Since this RP looks for members filling out roles, I'm looking for players who won't bail or ghost in the first couple of weeks. I understand if IRL calls for more attention or if you lose interest but please don't apply if you aren't serious about committing and sticking around.

011
The "roles" only outline the basics about your character's mechanics and behaviorisms. Feel free to give them as elaborate of a backstory as you desire, make them unique, make them relatable, make them likeable (which is going to be... a little difficult because most of them aren't the best people, you know?)

012
YC's career is up to you! The only thing to keep in mind is that these people are rich. Like, fucking loaded. So you can make them whatever you want: a gang leader, a choreographer, a CEO, a fashion designer, an actor, the President's child - it's all up in the air!

013
Your character's spouse will be announced by me once all the characters are up

014
The "official" relationships will all be m/f B U T this is a pro-LGBTQ+ RP and YC can be gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual - anything you want. In fact, I can imagine the characters, be it consciously or unconciously, looking outside of their marriage and you know, falling in love with someone who isn't their partner. If that's still a little vague and confusing, let me sort it out with an example: the Warning Sign and Violent Delight are married and the latter's having an affair with the Golden Keeper because bitch, we gay!

015
YC may not get along with their spouse but keep in mind that they're stuck with them. So while it is very amusing to see a couple dispute, not get along and never settle their differences, it's equally as satiating to see one that is making an effort to work things out despite their partner's disagreeableness (while having an affair behind their back, oh no.)

016
YC may have had multiple motivations behind their proposal. If anything, they, themselves, might not even have sent the proposal in the first place! It could've been politically-charged and discussed between YC's and their spouse's parents (basically, an arranged marriage.) However YC ended up with their partner can be canvassed between you and the other party involved after the "official ships" are announced. One thing to note: there was no mutual romantic intent (it could've been blackmail, oml.)

017
The age range I'm going for is mid-twenties to mid-thirties. No characters under the age of twenty-four please.

018
Give YC a dangerous secret that could either, potentially, harm them if leaked, or cause major public embarrassment if disseminated. Something like... I don't know, YC could be a cross-dresser, dealing with black money, previously involved with terrorists? Get creative with it!

019
If you have any questions I haven't addressed yet, leave a reply on this thread and I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can.

All eight roles on this list are now taken. In order to join, you'll have to pitch your own character outlines/ideas. Upon request, I will gladly aid you in the brainstorming process!


Violent Delight — TAKEN
With mysterious eyes that glint like the edge of a blade, and a powerful personality that asks—no, demands your attention, he's the worst and simultaneously, the best thing that could ever happen to you - it all depends on the situation you catch him in. While he can be playful and charming, the other side of the coin is just as deadly and lethal: he has a hard time accepting errors and moments that don't go exactly according to plan so you best play along. Don't want to end up like the last man that double-crossed him, right? No one ever heard about that because that's just the upper hand money can buy you.
TL;DR: he's the impatient fucker with anger management issues.


Capricious Prince — TAKEN
The epitome of every Jason and Brian in your everyday, low-budget teen romance movies: he's the man every girl dreams of marrying at one point in her life, and we don't blame them. Who wouldn't fall for that megawatt smile and chiselled jaw? He's been confessed to by countless people and praised all his life, it's not surprising that he allowed it to get to his head. Which is exactly why he wants a partner that can level him and isn't afraid to tell them exactly where they're lacking and how they can "better" themselves. Strap in, girls and boys, and get ready for the biggest guilt-trip of your life.
TL;DR: he's a patronizing asshole disguised as Prince Charming.


Fickle Abstraction — TAKEN
It's what growing up as the youngest in an extremely successful household does to you: makes you question whether you'll ever be something other than a diamond that reflects your siblings' achievements, whether you'd swap lives with the next pedestrian you see behind the seven-figure fast car you bought last weekend, whether you even deserve to stand amidst your magnate family members, your mogul siblings, your own parents. It started sometime in his mid-teen years: when he shut off his emotions, turned the switch off to his own wants and desires and faced the girl his parents set him up with. "Will you love me?" He'd kissed her for good measure, "Always." (They lasted about two weeks.)
TL;DR: he's the compulsive liar with verbal skills that could rival a door-to-door salesman selling essential oils to soccer moms in the suburb.


Golden Keeper — TAKEN
He really should've paid attention in seventh grade when one of his classmates gave that presentation on how money is an unfaithful lover: it will take you wherever you wish, give you the taste of freedom but never let you take the wheel because... little did his thirteen-year-old self know, at the age of ___, he'd end up signing a metaphorical slave contract, selling his entire self off to acquiring more, accumulating more. It doesn't matter how he gets his dirty little hands on it; be it by blackmailing smaller businesses, drafting misleading contracts, seducing CEOs - he'll do whatever it takes because after all, according to him and what he proudly tells his co-workers over drinks, if you can still count your money, you aren't rich enough.
TL;DR: he's the sneaky, sleazy, sly gold-digger who'll be eyeing your watch before deciding if you're worth "pursuing."


Holographic Flashbang — TAKEN
She's the icon that not only the women in our society need, but the men equally so if not more: the perfect example of harmonious and professional, having found an equilibrium between balancing her personal life and devoting time to herself while maintaining a hectic, full-bodied career at the same time. You won't ever catch her slipping on camera and her Twitter feed is filled with nothing but positivity. She's very open about her past life and struggles, letting every girl in the world know that it is possible to start from scratch and build an empire. Patience is key and she's got tons.
TL;DR: she's a self-made queen who frequently holds seminars to promote mental health and well-being.


Aeonian Dream — TAKEN
Born with a silver spoon shoved three metres up her ass, to say she's a little bit of a brat would be a major understatement. From a young age, her parents spoiled her and bought her her every wish before it even managed to leave her lips - and it doesn't help that she was their only child and constantly hogging the spotlight to all their attention. They overlooked her increasingly disrespectful attitude, blinded by rose-coloured glasses of love and spurlged and spurlged on their only daughter. Weekend trips to Tokyo, Spain, Bordeaux weren't uncommon either. Neither was seeing her Snap stories filled with pictures of customized jet planes, holy fuck.
TL;DR: she's daddy's precious princess with a god complex bigger than Faye Dunaway's ego.


Iridescent Riptide — TAKEN
Referred to by the masses as Nation's Fairy and Nation's Little Sister, she might actually be some kind of God-descent angel sent to motivate the rest of humanity to improve on some of their "less gallant" qualities - as she likes to phrase it. She's a sweetheart who'll bring her entire precinct floor coffee during her morning round and remember everyones' orders down to a tee. It is her extremely gregarious that's earned her an antagonistic mass of haters as well, and it may or may not also have something to do with the video that leaked last year of her [insert something problematic here]...
TL;DR: she's an absolute dear who'll greet you with a smile every morning but won't hesitate to square you the fuck up if you take advantage of her compassion.


Warning Sign — TAKEN
She swears she doesn't have a personal agenda against your sorry ass but it's really difficult to tell with her sparkling eyes and amused simper, the dice she mindlessly tosses from one hand to another before rolling them onto the wooden board sitting in between both of you and smiling, "Chess is my game, love." The frayed thread doesn't tie up, do they? And yet, you believe her like the fool you are, flowing like putty in her hands while she pulls on your ripped edges. You almost make it too easy, to be honest.
TL;DR: the two-faced manipulative freak who's 100% out to get you - and no, for the last time, it doesn't matter what you didn't do.

i would love to try out for the aeonian dream!

also the skill on that code made me
swoon.
 
im interested in making my own character as well if that's still an option.

👀
[/div]
I may have an idea. (Randomly decided to open this site at 5am.)
