Getting overthrown is no small thing, but surviving being overthrown? A one in a million, no, a billion, chance. And yet, this Crown Prince has somehow managed to survive the raiding and take-over of his palace, though not without a few injuries. Hitching a ride on a wagon and subsequently passing out, he wakes up in a city far from his own, with a crow literally in his face.

Allisandra is many things. An assassin, a thief, a prisoner to her past, but she is not a friend to the crown. And yet, she finds herself helping the injured and slightly dazed Crown Prince, who really has no business being this far from home. Her reason is simple. For however much she dislikes the royal family, she despises the new group in charge more.

Reluctantly, the two team up, in order to reclaim the throne and save the Prince's family. The first step? Walking straight back into the thick of the people who would like very much to kill either or both of them. If they don't kill each other first.


  1. No OP characters, or I will yeet your ass outta here before you can say 'this bitch empty'. I can't stand invincible characters, man.

  2. Proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization, please. I can get making a few mistakes, when you're tired, or English ain't your first language(It's mine, and even I have my issues), but if it's too common a thing, it irks the hell outta me. Call me a bitch, but hey.

  3. Slurs, homophobia, transphobia, rascism, sexism, anything that ends in -ism and that harms or promotes the harm of other people will not be tolerated. See my first threat.

  4. Hate the character, not the writer. Keeps spats between yourselves, outta my funzone. Also! Shipping is fine, but keep it a mutually okay thing, make sure it ain't abuse and/or creepy, and take smut to the PM.

  5. Detailed-ish responses, please. Think three or more sentences. To keep it going.

  6. I have the full right to add and edit this list. I also have the right to boot you if you're causing too many problems.

Name: Eleanora Alzor(her birth name), Allisandra “Ghost” Flor
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual, but relationships are incredibly far from her mind.
Appearance: Hair choppily cut to just around her shoulders, either kept up in a short ponytail, or down. Her hair is black, with sprinklings of white throughout that resemble early greying, but not quite. A chunk in the front is completely white, standing out against the rest of her hair and color scheme. She’s on the darker side of the olive skin-tone spectrum, and covered in various scars, most notably the odd ones on her neck, varying from small and thin to large and jagged. 5’7, and decently muscled, though obviously a bit malnourished. Her eyes are a startling silver/grey, that always seem to be scanning her surroundings, and almost appear to see straight through people.
Clothing/Style: A lot of black, and dark colors, because they blend into the shadows she mainly travels in. Black trousers tucked into black knee high boots. Alternates between a long sleeved black shirt and a tank top, has various knives visibly strapped to herself, and hidden. Wears a black trenchcoat with silver embellishments on the hems, stolen from a man she killed, early on. It’s now become a sort of trademark.
Personality: Quiet, more of an observer than a speaker. Knows way too much about things she probably shouldn't. Her steps are completely silent, so it's fairly often that you'll only notice her in a room once she speaks. Keeps a lot of secrets, mysterious in general, and hates talking about her own past. Great with kids and animals, and isn't afraid to stand up for whatever she believes is right. Only problem is, her moral code is a roulette wheel, and it's practically impossible to guess what's next. Not afraid to lie and manipulate her way around things.
Weaknesses: Cant stand anything around her throat or wrists, even slightly too tight shirt collars. Small spaces, as well, are another issue for her. Being touched is a no-go, to the point of panic attacks and puking, if long enough.
Strengths: Knives, man. She’s wicked with ‘em. Self-taught medic, and at the same time, great at straight up murder. Need stealth? She’s your gal. Speaks quite the number of languages, too.
Likes: Knives, darkness, night, being alone, keeping the people she cares about safe, and fruit, particularly blackberries.
Dislikes: Being touched, small spaces, having to talk about her past, crowds.
Magic: Control over Life force has shown itself in abilities that are essentially Necromancy, though due to her unwillingness to really tap into it, most of what she can do is see and strengthen the dead, as in ghosts.
Other: Has an insane amount of knives on her. Where do they go? Where does she hide them? Nobody’s quite sure.

Name: Crown Prince Dorian Utarian
Age: 20
Gender: male
Sexuality: bi-sexual
Appearance: He has kinda long, floofy jet black hair. His eyes are a deep blue though they appear almost black, the blue is only really visible if you look really closely. Pale skin. He’s tall, around 6’2 and has a fairly good body though it isn’t defined muscle. He has a chiseled jawline and carries himself proudly when in public, if he’s by himself or really tired he slouches. He has a thin scar on his right cheek but it’s only obvious if you look closely. He has many scars on his back from whips and ones around his ankles and wrists form chains
Clothing/Style: Wears a lot of loose-ish clothing. Tends to wear a lot of navy blue shorts with gold accents round the collar and the hems. Black pants and never wears another colour. He has a black leather jacket with gold again gold highlights. Black combat boots when he’s not doing anything formal.
When he was to go to events, he generally wears his gold crown. He wears a neat set of shoes and tight fitting black pants. He wears again a deep navy nearly black shirt with a shahs over the top.
Personality: Varies depending on the person he’s around. When he’s with his family, he’s reserved and closed off, doing rather then saying. He's brave and stoic, kinda a sucker for pain when it's inflicted on other people if they deserve it. He will speak up against people when he feels it's necessary. Has a reputation for being cold and calculating as that's the front he puts up. When he’s with friends and people he likes, he’s out going and charming and loud.
Weaknesses: chains and whips. He has a fear of both and that fear is used against him quite often. Water is also another fear of his. He can just about manage a small bath but anything other then that he freaks.
Strengths: great at geography, cartography and history. Very much a linguist as well, he has to deal with people from all over the kingdom. He’s good with a sword.
Likes: reading, writing, studying history, loved gardens and the outdoors
Dislikes: water, whips and chains, dishonesty
Magic: darkness control. He’s able to manipulate the darkness around him and basically hop from one place to another in what is called winnowing. The only downside to his powers is that’s is very straining so he doesn’t use his magic often. His black hair and eyes are a result of his power.
Other: his family consists of his mother, father and older brother. His father and brother are hard on him but he loves them. From the ages of 7 to 16 he's uncle ended up abusing him, hence the fear of whips and such but he eventually got caught by his father one evening. He had two younger sisters, twins, who drowned while on his watch.

Gyriel's cawing was the first sign that something was wrong. Allisandra's crow had always been quiet, preferring a shuffle of feathers as warning while on lookout over an actual caw, so the sound was startling. Shaking off the momentary worry that something had happened to her companion, Allisandra slipped through the alley ways of the city, following the sound, until she came upon an odd sight.

The Crown Prince was covered in blood, possibly his own, and unconscious(at least, she assumed that, over dead.), but still recognizable. Of course he was, considering he was the posterboy for everything to do with the Royal Family. The question was, why the hell was he lying passed out in an alley way down by the wharf? And why did Gyriel seem so intent on getting Allisandra's attention. Frowning, the thief reached for one of her knives as she approached the odd sight, motioning for Gyriel to get off the Prince, and was promptly ignored. Hesitantly, she extended a leg and nudged the man with her foot, before taking a step back.

@ElderGod-Carrots

To say the Prince was in pain was well, probably a humongous understatement. He was in agony. As his eyes fluttered open, a groan was ripped from his throat. The sun light was blinding though what got his attention more so was the… crow? in his face. If he'd had enough strength to wack the bird away he would have, but due to the fact that he couldn't move his arm, the bird ended up staying.

@croccin-champagne

"Oh, fuck. He's alive." Ally's eyes widened as she muttered to the crow, stepping closer and forcefully shooing Gyriel off the Prince. The bird flapped in obvious offense, before landing on her shoulder as she tried to figure out just what the best thing to do in this situation was. "Xvyar-can you speak?"

@ElderGod-Carrots

Dorian tried to lift his head to look at whoever spoke but ended up giving up, "Just…" He managed. Even the one word felt like sand paper was tearing up the back of his throat. His fingers twitched as he again, tried to sit up and once again, failed.

@croccin-champagne

Ally wasn't an asshole. Well, okay, maybe she was, but not the kind of asshole that left an injured man lying in the seediest part of the city, injured. Carefully, she reached out as she stood, unceremoniously hauling him up with surprising strength. She was at least careful not to upset his injuries too much. "Nevermind. Save your voice."

@ElderGod-Carrots

As Dorian was pulled to his feet, another soft groan escaped his lips. He nodded a little, leaning heavily against the woman. He would have thanked her had his voice been in better condition and he made a mental note to do so later.

@croccin-champagne

Ally muttered something in a harsh sounding language, and Gyriel lifted off from her shoulder, disappearing ahead to scout for any signs of trouble. Shifting the Prince's are over her shoulders to brace him, she started back down the alley, trying to figure out where exactly to take him. Obviously, there was a reason he was all this way from the capitol, so any sort of hospital was out of the question. "Nod yes or no, instead of speaking. Do you have any clue where you are?"

@ElderGod-Carrots

The prince shook his head. No. He had no clue where he was. He was pretty sure he'd been passed out for a while. Nothing looked familiar, she was peaking in a language he maybe slightly knew but not really. Then again he might but his head was so fuzzy he couldn't decipher which way was left and which was right.

@croccin-champagne

She sighed, focusing forward once more, but occasionally glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. "Great. This one sounds stupid if your cognitive functions're working just fine, but d'you know your name? Or at least think you do?" She was already pushing her limits with the physical contact, and could feel the familiar churning in her gut. Just a bit further. Just get to the boat, and you can let him go.

@ElderGod-Carrots

Dorian nodded at that. He may have been hit over the head a couple times and his brain might be turned to mush but at least he knew one piece of information. Pieces of information and knowledge and memories were slowly coming back to him. Slowly, but they were and he was glad of it.

@croccin-champagne

"That's good, at least. Next, and last, for now. Do you know why you were passed out in that alley?" Allisandra asked, looking over at him finally as they came into view of the docks. The sounds of shouts and seagulls ahead met them, along with the now incredibly strong scent of the ocean.

@ElderGod-Carrots

Dorian took a moment to think about it before he shook his head. As soon as he glanced the docks, the water he was shaking his head again, "N-Not… the…. d-docks…" He some how managed to get out, though it was agony to do so. He wouldn't be put on a boat, no way he was not going anywhere near it.
