The Sesenao Kingdom was once a great yet small kingdom with hopes of growing bigger and taking over the world with their influence. Now almost one hundred ninety years after it first arose, the kingdom is plunged into darkness thanks to the corruption of the government and emperor. It all started with King Zolis after the mysterious death of his older brother, Leo. The king did expand the kingdom, but only at the cost of devastating everything from the local towns to the population. Even with all the success happening, he is the reason why Sesenao has plunged into its own dark ages.

Much to everyone's hope, King Zolis did end up dying after thirty years of ruling except he left behind two sons. The oldest, Anton, is exactly like the father, but much worse. It is said that King Anton has a crave for blood and power. A month after the enthronement, the kingdom began to suffer a food shortage crisis yet King Anton ignored the issue at hand. It has been five years ever since and it seems like things are only to get worse.

One evening, the prince overhears his brother talking to someone about another war. He could have sworn the king laughed when asked about the welfare of the people. The younger prince knows that something needs to be done. He knows the only way to make things better is if the king gets arrested or killed. There is no way the king can get charged for anything, he will just silence whoever speaks up against him. Murder is the only option, but the young prince cannot do it alone.

His plan to gather up a team of seven, including himself, to take down the sinister king. Each person is what he believes is the best at what they can do. Together they can take down the evil king, piece by piece, and help make Sesenao better for its people. So one evening, he writes out letters to each person in hopes they will join.

Our story begins on the night the seven are supposed to meet. Each person had received their letter early in the morning. In the letters, the prince wrote to meet at the Domor lake by the red dogwood tree in the east side of the capital at nine in the evening. To show that they're all to discuss the plan, they have to show the blue royal wax seal on their letter.

May the seven come together and do everything in their power to take down the monster that sits on the throne.

Roles

The Prince: Clearly, the prince is the better when it comes to him and his older brother. He is very gentle and kind, but will not hesitate to stand up for himself or others. Once he has his heart set on something, he is going to do everything in his power to achieve it. He tends to be stuck in his own thoughts thinking a million things at once. Deep down, he is scared of how things will turn out, but all he can do is hope and continue on.

Childhood Friend (Taken): They go way back with the prince, the two practically have been together ever since they were born. They are a good friend and a good person to have on a team. The friend is the child of the capital district's governor and they intend to follow in their father's footsteps. It is unsure whether or not they are a loyalist to the royal court, but they always appear to be neutral. Usually they go along with the prince when it came to plans or adventures.

Resisting Scholar: As a young scholar, they're a good person. Very studious and wise yet fearless when it came to debating on thoughts or what is more righteous. They're known for winning arguments against older scholars and even some higher up officials. Yes, they do know practically every single rule and law in the kingdom like the back of their hand. Not only do they know so much about the kingdom, they know what's right for it.

Secretive Servant (Taken): As quiet as a mouse, the servant can sneak into any place to listen in on someone. If they ever leave a place without concern, no one will notice for minutes. They have a calming aura that makes them seem so trustful; people come to them to talk about anything and they do not tell anyone a single word. Just because they tend to be quiet doesn't mean their actions can be louder. They work for the prince most of the time, but on certain occasions, they find themselves preforming some task for the king.

Rose with Thorns (Taken): Every rose has its thorns, but she is able to hide hers in plain sight. Born as the daughter of a concubine and the minster of justice, she takes after both of them in beauty and wit. She is known for seducing the men in the capital in order to get whatever she wanted then leaving without trouble. Sure she may be a lady, but she will not hesitate to beat someone with her slipper if necessary. After all, she only pretends to be a damsel in distress.

Iron Wolf (Taken): One of the best soldiers you will find in the whole kingdom. Renowned for their excellent skill in fighting, they were given their nickname by the general officer of the army. They never let their sword leave their side, ever. While it may look like they do not care about anything, they secretly are looking out for others. Their heart is much warmer than the expression on their face, but they do not wish to speak of it.

Charlatan (Taken): A conman at best, they only know how to use their charm in order to trick others. They were raised by a group of charlatans who run a bar and tavern in the capital. Try to play poker or some game with them, and your money will magically disappear. No one can tell what is up their sleeve despite using a set of schemes. Yes, they do think for themselves most of the time, but they always have this feeling in their gut to help others.

King Anton: The king only thinks about himself and how to further the kingdom's image in order to make himself look good. Do not underestimate him ever. Even though he is young for ruling as a monarch, he is very intelligent and shows some leadership. He will not hesitate to raise his sword and strike someone. (This is not a main role, but I feel like it is necessary for someone to play this role when needed. Someone can have one of the roles above while also playing as the king.)

Rules

  • andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules apply
  • Be as active as possible. If you can only send one to two responses a day, that is perfectly fine. I'm a bit busy right now so I might only be responding so much in a day.
  • This is a literate rp, at least one paragraph per response with good grammar and spelling.
  • For context I would say that the Sesenao Kingdom takes place in mid 1600s, but in an alternate universe. It is pretty modern, but it doesn't have the advanced technology we have today. The kingdom is home to many cultures, is polytheist, and takes a lot of pride in the military. The government has a state council, which the king is in charge of, and six ministries (departments). There are twenty districts in which one holds the capital, Licaea.
  • LGBTQ+ welcomed
  • Romance/shipping is also welcomed too.
  • Swearing is fine, just keep it to a limit. No slurs
  • Also, if you have any questions or ideas, just let me know. :D
    (I'll put up the template after we get some peeps in. I mostly likely will ask for a sample before accepting. Thank you!)

Hello! I would kind of like to be the servant, but since someone else already asked, I guess I could choose a different role?

At first, Adriano heard the rhythmic clanging of bells in the distance. The dreaded bells that made the hair on the back of his neck stand up, and his face wrinkle. It couldn’t be true. How had they found him so quickly? In a fell swoop he dragged his bag off the hook and draped it over his shoulder, and planted his hat on his head. The bedroom door closed behind him with a soft thud while he crossed the tavern space of the inn towards the entrance. In this case, a quick exit. He needed Fleur close if those bells truly were what he feared they meant. And if he had any luck, he could make it to the stables before they arrived.
Sure enough the Royal Guard arrived with heavy-footed horses stamping at the cobbled ground. A small group, made up of three or four muscled soldiers in glistening armor, each mounted regally on a steed with bells fastened to their harness. Thankfully, Adriano watched them at a safe distance from the stables. His Clydesdale pawed anxiously at the dirt beside him, feeding off of his nervous energy.

I usually write a little bit less, this is just a starter I recently wrote for another rp.
I’ve got one with dialogue too if you need.

@knightinadream group

Great! It's all good, just as long as your responses are at least a paragraph then it's fine. Other than that, you're in! I'm just going to wait for a few more people to join then I'll put up the template.

(Okay, so this is from an rp about cats, so…)
"Shadowpaw!" Shadowpaw simply grumbled, and rolled over in her nest. Her brother, Hollypaw, huffed and shoved her with his paws. "Hey! Holly-" "Come on, it's snowing!" Shadowpaw flicked her tail at her littermate. "I don't care! Let me sleep." "Nu-uh!" Hollypaw mewed, proceeding to push Shadowpaw out of her nest. "I'm not gonna let you sleep in when it's snowing! We are going outside to have fun." Shadowpaw rolled her eyes and stood. "If you're idea of fun is being woken up by someone pushing you out of your nest, then I think I'll pass." She moved to pass Hollypaw, but he stepped on her path. "Come on! Please Shadowpaw?" They stared at each other for a moment, before Shadowpaw sighed. "Fine." "Yes!" Hollypaw bounced on his paws like an excited kit. "Let's go!" He rushed out of the apprentices' den while Shadowpaw followed slowly behind.

Coren Shivered. Something was disrupting his 'slumber'. He had never felt anything like this. He looked around in shock. He was in rubble. He wasn't alive. What the.. He Coren thought, trying to feel something. He couldn't. He looked at his hand s and they were transparent. Am I…Dead? Coren throughout in dismay. He looked around and there was nothing for miles. He flew up through the rubble and out, in the sunshine.
"Holy…I'm dead. And…What year is it?" Coren looked at the people walking around. He decided to go and try to find what made him awake. Coren flew off, now worrying that anyone would find him or see him. He looked around and shivered as he got closer and closer to a street. When he got to the street something was bothering him. He felt weird. Maybe the fact the he was a legit ghost? Maybe another reason. He decided to look around in people's houses.
Once he got to Juliette's house It stopped. This was the place to be. He started to search. There was nothing in the bathroom, attic, bedrooms, and living room. Once he got to the kitchen he saw a box filled of stuff that looked familiar. Impossible… He thought. He looked at the box and opened it. He saw multiple photos of people and then a picture caught his eye. It was a picture from his childhood

Childhood friend?

Also,,, WOW! I didn't even realize that last word in my sample was literally "Childhood"!

@PastelTart

Okie dokie, just let me know if you decide the Iron Wolf or the Charlatan and we'll go from there.

You know what? I think I'm gonna go with the Iron Wolf.

(Here’s my character! Let me know if you’d like me to change anything about him)

Name: Bastien Crane
Role: Secretive Servant
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Asexual, panromantic
Appearance: Standing at 5’6”, Bastien is small yet average enough not to stand out in a room. He has a narrow face with an angled jaw, a straight nose, Cupid-bow lips, and blue-gray eyes. His dark brown hair, reaching about to his temples, usually isn’t styled in any particular way. Just parted in the middle and combed out with a boar bristle brush. He has one piercing in his right ear: a bronze stud.
His arms and legs are lightly toned from the usual work he is assigned.
He typically wears plain clothes that are mostly muted colors and modest. He wears no jewelry other than his piercing.
Personality: Bastien is a generally calm person with warm expressions, but he is also strictly moralistic and analytical. While quiet and well-mannered, he maneuvers social situations with ease, having learned that most people—particularly nobles—love to talk about themselves and sometimes their secrets. His job combined with a deeply compassionate nature led him to base his identity around others to the point where he can only think of himself as average.
Backstory: Bastien never experienced life outside of his mother’s job in the palace. He was born, and grew up with servants working in the palace. As soon as he was old enough he started working too, doing simple jobs like laundry and keeping rooms tidy. Eventually, when he turned 20, he took his mother’s place as the head servant to the Prince.
