• Some members of the royalty and high nobility are done with the way their kids are acting all entitled and spoiled. Or they think it is high time their kid learns some independence or realize how lucky they are. Or it is just tradition among their family. Either way they send their kids to live for an half a year as a mere commoner. They cannot use their names or titles and have to figure out how to survive in the cruel cruel world that is every day life for most people. Of course they cannot send their kids of with completely nothing, so a house is arranged (not paid!) for them to share and each of them will be getting an allowance of $300 dollars per month.
  
  To make sure their kids will have some guidance in the normal every day life, half of the house is rented out to seasoned commoners. Some young adults from different walks of life, who all have their own reason to be searching for a place to live. They are starting the last year of their studies, or just finished, or maybe they decided to take a free lance job or just get away from their home and try their luck. Whatever their background, they will too be living in the house, without knowing that half of them are royals.
  
  How will thinks work out? Will the royals learn to appreciate life more? Will they grow and learn how to bake and egg? Perhaps new friendship, and even love, is build. But what happens when these commoners found out that they have lived with royals? And would the royals even want back to their original life?
  
• Hey everyone,
  
  This will just be an easy going slice of life roleplay where a bunch of royals have to learn the basic household tasks. It is based on some (I think MTV) tv show I once saw. Anyway I thought it would be fun to roleplay this and see where it goes. The Royals will be giving fake names, but have to figure out themselves how to pull it off further. If they do end up using their titles and name to get what they want, their parents are not gonna be amused. I will leave it up to you whatever is at stake for them. Perhaps their right to the throne? Or their house? Or an important piece of land?
  
  I am looking for max 6 royals and 6 commoners. I do have some roles for the royals typed out, if you had a different idea feel free to throw it my way and I will see if it fits into the idea I have. For the commoners I didn't feel like writing out roles, since I am curious to see what kind of things you can come up with. I, myself, will be playing one of the commoners, and I might pick up a royal if needed. I am open for people doubling. I am open for all kind of characters, as long as the players are respectful and openminded. All characters will be young adults, ranging from between 21 and 29 years old.
  
  Now about the house, they will have to share the living room and the kitchen. There will be two bathrooms (also shared, of course). Each tenant will have their own room, which is big enough for a two person bed, a closet and a desk. There will also be an extra room that can be used however the tentants want and can agree on. Perhaps as a study room? Or relax room? Or for work out? All up to them. The house is located in San Diego, California, United States and rent will be $200 per room.
  
• 1. All RPN rules apply to this and the following threads, including the discord.
  2. Be respectful towards each other. If you are not, I or @iShyShy will be merciless in booting you from the roleplay.
  3. Please use decent English, thus grammar. We would like 2+ paragraphs replies, once a week.
  4. This is not a first come, first serve roleplay. You can apply for every role you want and I will chose the character I think fits best. Max two characters will be chosen.
  5. OOC will be through discord. If you do not have a discord and are not willing to make a discord or use discord, don't bother applying.
  6. Romance is allowed, but please do not force it! Also keep it PG-13 if something hot and steamy happens!
• Please note that male pronouns are only used to keep it easy readable. Royals can be female, genderfluid, transgender what so ever.
  Important: Be aware of a countries norms and values when playing their royal. As they may have quite some influence on the views and opinion of the royal.
  
  Royal of Spain
  Direct descendent of Spanish and French royalty of the House of Bourbon. He is the only son of the 5th Duke of Seville, who is a Grandee of Spain and a relative of the current King, Felipe VI of Spain. His ancestor, the 1st Duke of Seville, was the grandson of King Charles IV of Spain, who descended from King Louis XIV of France. His mother is Countess Beatrice of Hardenberg. She is the daughter of Princess Maria Josepha of Fürstenberg and Count Günther of Hardenberg {de}, whose family tree includes Prince Karl August von Hardenberg, a prime minister of Prussia.
  
  Royal of India
  He is the only son of Muhammad Salabat Khan, the current Nawab of the former princely state of Balasinor in India. He has the title of Nawabzada of Balasinor. His family's home is the Garden Palace in Balasinor, which was built in 1883 and contains around 70 rooms. It is his last chance of finding love, for his parents have started an arranged marriage, if he does not succeed to find a partner himself.
  
  Royal of England
  His father is the Right Honourable Miles Watson, 4th Baron Manton in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. However, he has an older brother named Thomas who is the heir apparent and is most likely to become the next Lord Manton, unless he manages to succeed this challenge. One of the family's ancestors is Sir Marmaduke Langdale, 1st Baron Langdale of Holme, who was a prominent Royalist military commander during the English Civil War. He lives at his family's country house, Houghton Hall, Yorkshire, which dates back to the 1760s. It is set in an estate of thousands of acres and was once the seat of the (now extinct) Barony of Langdale.
  
  Royal of Russia
  He is related through his mother to the Romanov dynasty of Russia. Direct descendent of the Russian imperial House of Romanov. He is the son of Thomas Mathew and Princess Olga Andreevna Romanoff. She is the daughter of the late Prince Andrei Alexandrovich of Russia, who was the grandson of Tsar Alexander III of Russia and the eldest nephew of the last Tsar, Nicholas II of Russia. His family has an historic home called Provender House, which was built starting in 1342 and is located in Kent, England.
  
  Royal of Korea
  Or better said the Daegun of Korea. He is the second born son of Hyun Jun Seo and Hyun Nae Soo. He is the second born son of the King and Queen after their first son died of a sickness he had been living with since he was born. It was always believed that Kwang Su –the first born son– would take the throne, but he died at the age of 20 year old, and therefore his two year younger brother will take the place in his stead. He grew up in Sadong Palace in Seoul and that is his home.
  
  Royal of Nigeria
  He is the fourth Sultan of the Sokoto Caliphate. The son of a Hausa concubine with Muhammed Bello, the second Sultan of Sokoto, and the grandson of Usman dan Fodio, the first Sultan. Although he is not born from one of the wives of Bello, he is treated as from Bello's lineage and is able to become the successor to Abu Bakr Atiku. In his selection as Sultan, he was selected instead of three other sons of Muhammed Bello and one of his uncles for the position.

  Character Index: here
  Discord: Will be set up later on, depending on enough interest.
  
  Do the Royals know each other?
  Yes, most likely they are at least aware of each others existence and have met before. Depending on the countries ties and their relationships, they can have encounter each other lesser or more than once a year.
  
  Could a Royal not just announce they are who they are upon arrival?
  Of course, they can, but would anyone believe them? They have nothing to show and back up such a claim. Unless they want to use their titles and powers, in which case they will be send home.
