introduction.
The kingdom of Calathria stood strong amongst its neighbors, King William Edumund Barlowe III at its head. Having been widowed for a considerable number of years, ever since his twin children, the priss and the unprepared, could confidently waddle around the castle grounds, one can imagine the hubbub that occurred once it was announced that he was engaged- and to a common villager, no less. King William and the new Queen Maria’s marriage brought along two new royal step-children: the prodigy and the novice
The king holds Calathria’s annual summer ball in celebration of their marriage, as well as his new family members moving in; there are over a thousand guests from Calathria’s allied kingdoms, all as royal as the next. Once believed to be in good spirits with its neighbors, the castle suddenly falls under attack during the party. The four siblings, who have luckily found themselves in the priss’s room trying to help the novice pick out a gown, manage to escape the night unscathed thanks to the guard and the warrior, who have been diligently watching over them as per usual.
This is where things get a tad bit open-ended: do the king and queen die, causing the unprepared to take the throne? Does only one of them die? Do they both survive, causing this rp to be about the siblings surviving in wartime? Or do we scrap all of that and just go with lighthearted, day to day frivolities? I’m undecided, which is why I’m going to be basing this off of the applications that are submitted. Give me your best, and good luck!
was it obvious that this is based off sofia the first
the priss
16. she/her. Five minutes older than her twin, the unprepared. A total daddy’s girl with a petty attitude to match; everyone knows who she is- she’s one of the most popular girls at school and, as result, in all the kingdoms. The size of her ego matches the size of her tiara collection, and that sucker’s impressively large. Unfortunately, her persona is due largely to insecurity, and she does have a soft side...it’s up to you to give explanation to it.
the unprepared
16. he/him. Five minutes younger than his twin, the priss. He’s a jokester with a heart of gold and a devastatingly handsome face to match. He’s a prince any king would be proud of, but he doesn’t feel ready to take the throne. He’s not ready to give up his slowly-fading childhood. Call him selfish, but is it really wrong for him to want to be an average kid? pls imagine the angst if he’s gay and has to marry a woman for the good of the kingdom-
the prodigy
14. any gender. The novice’s younger sibling. People far and wide wonder how they
weren't born into royalty- they've taken to it like a fly to honey. They're a natural and has been excelling in their schooling, not to mention they're quite the socialite, but innocence and positivity can’t charm everyone...
the novice ( _em_ )
16. she/her. The prodigy’s older sister. Putting a clutz in heels is bound to never end well; awkward and lanky as they come, the novice is struggling to adapt to her new lifestyle. She’s not cut out for the life of a royal and would much rather spend her days at the stables. Alas, duty calls and she’s never been the kind to run away from responsibility.
the guard
mid 20s-early 30s. Gender is not set in stone. The guard watches over the siblings like they’re their own because they might as well be. Since the death of the priss’s and unpreprared’s mother, the king has trusted them with his childrens’ safety. They’re not 100% comfortable with the new step-children, but they’re trying their damndest. The guard lives in the castle and can be interpreted in multiple different ways- surprise me~
the warrior
16, 17 or 18. Potential love interest to the unprepared or the novice. As the guard’s child, the warrior grew up on the castle’s training grounds. All they know is watching over the siblings and shadowing their parent in battle-planning meetings…so what happens when they start to fall head over heels for one of the siblings and/or imagine a life outside of sword fights and archery?
the king/queen
40s/50s. A beloved, although surprising, couple. The king rules with a stern yet kind fist, while the queen shows compassion and forgiveness. How could anyone despise them? You’d be shocked, apparently…. again, surprise me~
extras
Extra spots, such as those the children are betrothed to, their friends, other royal guards, Priton enemies, etc, will be open to be filled by accepted group members and are not required.
rules.
01.
This is an advanced, literate, long-term group roleplay for mature, kind, and creative writers. It is not first come, first serve- your admittance will be based solely on your level of literacy. Although aesthetics are appreciated, I understand that BBCode is hard, so if coding really isn’t up your ally don’t worry about it. All that being said, the character application thread will be put up with interest, so at the very least please like this thread so I know you’re game ;u;
02.
I know I gave a general vibe in the introduction, but I want to expand here cuz...I feel like it? Aside from darker fantasy themes, we will also be exploring the children finishing out their schooling (I imagine they go to school with other royal children- is it obvious that this is loosely based on Sofia the First yet?) and getting to know each other (they’ve only lived together for a month or so at the time of the ball), and we could possibly even bring in the idea of betrothal in? I’d like to make it very clear right now, though, that female characters will be educated on sex and anatomy- obviously, the betrothals will be to characters of the opposite sex, but that doesn’t mean the characters involved have to be heterosexual. The time period is ambiguous. My initial inclination is that there’s no electronics, but there’s a modern spin on language and clothing.
03.
I’m tentatively looking for a co-gm (I’ll only be choosing/looking from people who are accepted). Also, I’m sure it’s obvious by now that I don’t have everything planned, so come with ideas! I want to hear them! This rp is not for people who like to sit back and have the plot pre-determined.
