Families and Thrones Idea Interest Thread

Hello. I have a good idea for a thread but I would like other nations to join. This thread is to see if anyone would be interested. The idea is that in Cantacuzenia, a girl of 12 (I may change her age) years of age, named Anastasia is the rightful heir to the throne (she was her father's only child) but a usurper takes her place and established his own dynasty, even forcing Anastasia's mother who he finds beautiful to be his wife. Many in Cantacuzenia do not like this and plan for a rebellion against him. The usurper has forced Anastasia to the city and/or fortress of Mystras which is run by the Royalists, those against the usurper.

Anyone interested in joining up?

All of those are good but the main groups are Loyalists (with the usurper) and the Royalists (with Anastasia). Other groups, etc could be allowed. All of the things you said like mercs and the others are good.

Is it to be a character or group rp?
Also, planned or free-form?

Explain this please. I plan for it to be a rp in which foreign nations can join in. But explain what you said, just to refresh my memory.

I don't mind if you use some of my ideas. Also, I think I'll be a Royalist.

Character: Focus on characters(frequently has 'super'-people, IE: Special Forces, master thieves, ect)
Group: A few average/slightly above average people, much fodder

Planned: You know how you want this to end
Free-Form: Either side can win

Theao, thanks for explaining it to me. I suppose I'll have it a mix between group and character and free-form and planned.

Yes and yea.
Two of the most common types of mixed are:
1. Body generally planned, ending up for grabs
2: End planned, but how that it's got there is up to the participants(most common type)

I think I'll go for number 2, I guess. I don't know which one will work. Also, Theao, what side would you like to support?

Is anyone else interested, I'll start once I get more nations in.

Explain the turncoat, to refresh my memory. You can take your time in deciding. A Turncoat group/person could be good.

Starts off working for one side(Royalist or Userper) then betrays them to help the other side(usually for money or self-preservation).

This sounds kind of interesting. Can I be a group of mercs, with a few characters? Then a side could hire me, and I could fight for them.

If you want to, you can. That sounds like a good idea.

A quick question. What time period does this take place in? And is it in a ral place, or a nationstates nation?

The nation of Cantacuzenia is a mix between real life place and nationstates, I suppose. Also, this takes place in modern times.
