Rules

saveyourselffirst@yahoo.com — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 06:22:46 GMT

Godmodding
This is a basic RP no-no and it won't be acceptable here. In case you're unaware of what this means, you can't control another player's character. Similarly, just because you are aware of something OOC does not mean that your character is aware IC. if someone claims you are crossing that knowledge line the mod will thoroughly investigate.

OOC Drama
Is not tolerated, period. In the exception of extreme cases, there is a two strike rule. You will receive two warnings and then you're out. However a player will be immediately kicked out and banned should another player come forward with proof of foul language, extreme rudeness, godmodding, or anything that the mod deems unfit for the RP.

Characters
Characters need to be played out fairly realistically. They are humans with emotions, conflicts, problems, vices and loves. There is no perfection, we do approve of IC drama. Remember to do a little research just to get a basic understanding of what your character's role in their society would be.
Play By
Variety is the spice of life. The three major countries in this RP (America, England, and France) all have a diverse culture and multiple races populating it. Unless noted in the PREMADE section a character my be any race. The mod reserves the right to deny a PB if she does not believe they will fit the Premade. Also keep in mind siblings and other familial relations, those characters should look similar. Lastly these are Royals, children of Ambassadors, or people who have been in political circles their entire life, and alternative PBs are not going to work for them. PBs heavily tattoo'd will not work, nor will ones with unusually colored hair. Lastly keep in mind 5 years. The PB's age must be within 5 years of the character's age.
Limit
2. The character limit us two and you must play one of each sex. Period.

Activity
One journal entry and one scene or thread a month are required for the activity check. Due to the small nature of this comm, activity is important because all characters are connected and need one another for development and plot.
AIM/Journals/Threading
AIM names are required. They can be used to scene, as an IM service or as Text Messaging but they ARE required. It would be preferable if they related to the character's name but it is not required. Journals are exactly that and are to be used for anything the character wishes. Threading is welcome though everyone should be flexible. Not everyone likes to scene via AIM and not everyone likes to thread. We welcome both in this comm.
Hiatuses
Are granted at request and cannot last more than two weeks. As previously stated the comm and characters need one another for survival. An Update Only Hiatus is allowed, as we understand sometimes instances can arise where you may be able to access AIM on your phone, but are unable to get online to update or thread. If you are on an Update Only Hiatus it must be evident you are making an effort to stay active and you must do at least one AIM scene that your partner is willing to post as proof. As such an Update Only Hiatus may remain in effect at the mod's discretion.
Plotting
Drama is encouraged, establishing why the character has a preset relationship with another is up to the players and you are encouraged to establish relationships which are not predetermined. Serious lines such as marriage/pregnancy/death/etc must be discussed with the mod before they are put into action.

THE POLITICALS

The Prince of England
The Prince is 26, the eldest of the children in the Political circles, he has been taking his place in English society, readying for the day when he is to become king. Despite his public approval he has many dark secrets including The Prince's Mistress, a possible illegitimate child, and a night with several prostitutes when he went to Finland. He does not get along well with The Other Prince of England and they fight quite frequently. He best friend is The American Ambassador to England's Son, and he is frequently in the company of The French Ambassador to England's Daughter. While he finds The Princess of France beautiful, he does not want to marry her and he finds The American Ambassador to France's Daughter very irritating, and The Lady is a bore.

The Princess of France
The Princess is 25 was brought up well, the best of everything, the best tutors, the best clothes, the best parties, and she has grown rather acustomed to it. Despite all this she is possibly the most giving of any of the political offspring and has spent numerous years traveling and working with charities. She is very close with both The Princess' Personal Assistant and The Princess' Personal Guard, the later having been with her for almost ten years. Her best friend is The American Ambassador to France's Daughter, she despises The French Ambassador to England's Daughter, thinks The Other Prince of England is cute and sweet, believes The American Ambassador to England's Son is a jackass, and believes The Duke and The Duchess are funny.

The Other Prince of England [Second in Line]
The Other Prince at 24 is not expected to do much, by anyone. While highly educated, and very proud of his country, he is seen as a bit of a geek and isn't taken seriously. He doesn't get along well with his brother The Prince of England, nor does he approve of his relations with The Prince's Mistress, or The French Ambassador to England's Daughter. He is good friends with The Count, The Lady, The American Ambassador to France's Daughter, and while The Duke teases him mercilessly they have their own bond.

The American Ambassador to France's Daughter
At 23, the Daughter to America's Ambassador to France is very uptight, though she doesn't try to be. She takes things very seriously, especially her position as she is working hard to be an ambassador herself. She has a Love/Hate, on-again-off-again relationship with The American Ambassador to England's Son, is best friends with The Princess of France, is bitter rivals with The French Ambassador to England's Daughter, thinks The English Ambassador to France's Son is a bore, but she tolerates him. She is fond of The Princess' Personal Guard and The Lady.

The American Ambassador to England's Son
The 24 year old son of The American Ambassador to England is possibly the wildest of the group. he knows how to party, and has no intention of stopping. He drinks, rather heavily, he indulges in drugs but never to the point that he can't control himself, and can be very cold and judgemental. Has an on again/off again/love/hate relationship with the American Ambassador to France's Daughter and considers her to be the only person who truly knows him, is friends with The Prince of England, tolerates The Duke and The Duchess, hooks up with The Countess and The French Ambassador to England's Daughter and on occasion The Prince's Mistress when she is on the outs with The Prince of England. He mostly ignores The Other Prince of England and The English Ambassador to France's Son annoys the hell out of him.

Plot

saveyourselffirst@yahoo.com — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:32:57 GMT

The year is 2015 and World War III is imminant.

With oil becoming more scarce, pollution at an all time despite the efforts of governments world wide to correct generations worth of errors, and the world population in general questioning the governments that control them, alliances are more important than ever. With America's ambassadors working hard to mend the bonds torn apart by their governments prior actions, and to rebuild their dwindling military, England is looking to form a strong bond with the French and the world's brightest physisist. France in return is looking for the added protection of being allied with the American and British troops when their own army is severly lacking in the forces that would be needed to protect the country from invading extremists in the east, and they have promised their Princess to the Prince of England to cement the bond politically and to give the people of both countries something to rally behind.

The union is not welcome by either the Prince, nor the Princess, and their forced marriage is affecting all those around them, and not just politically. Old loves are forced to spend time together, old enemies forced to share close quarters, new alliances are formed, friendships are tested, lies are told, and secrets are destroyed. Every day that the wedding approaches brings another problem, and another chance for the Royal couple to be to bond their countries, or bring it all down around their heads.

Concept

saveyourselffirst@yahoo.com — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:40:15 GMT

Set in a AU reality, in which France still has a monarchy much like that of England, and those with titles are still traded off to form alliances, the French Princess is betrothed to the English Prince for a political alliance between the two powerful countries as an impending war looms closer. Their impending marriage, their lives, and friends are all high stakes in this game of political affiliation. Also in the mix are children of dignitaries, dukes, counts, barons, all young people in their early twenties learning to take over their parents positions, learning to deal with the reprecussions of their actions and those of their parent's, and a few other select individules whose lives are affected by the royal actions.
