My Idea For a RP

Byzantine Salamandria
21-06-2006, 19:48
Hello. I am a newbie with an idea for an RP, my first on NS. The idea is that I will RP as a girl named Zara, who in my nation's history became a Queen or Empress. She was in a noble family with an abusive father (which I want someone else to play) and others. This RP would go through her life, from her childhood to her rise to Royal status (I would be the Monarch and others).

I do hope this kind of RP is acceptable to do on NS. If anyone is interested, post here and we can discuss it. Thank you for your time in reading.

In the RP, I will deal with things like the settings and names of characters. Just so you don't get confused or anything, I suppose.

Is anyone interested? Also, can anyone tell me if this kind of RP is acceptable to do on NS? Thanks.

This is an interesting RP, I haven't seen this type before. I don't see anything wrong with this, so long as it stays appropriate. I'm not a mod, but I don't think a mod will have a problem with this. You might want to add her involvement in international events, so it stays in this forum.

This will be in International Incidents. Thanks for saying it is an interesting RP. I will make sure it stays appropiate. I hope everything goes ok. Are you interested in joining by the way?

That is ok with me, I understand. I do hope I can have people join in this. I understand that you can not be able to join in this. That is ok, I understand.

You could RP as the father if you want to. Would you be ok doing this kind of role? I am only making sure so I don't upset you or anything.

Does she have a sibling(preferably older male but doesn't matter)

I was thinking on that, I am trying to remember my setup. I can have her have one or more sibling (s). Are you interested in being an older male sibling?
Theao
21-06-2006, 22:44
Yep.
Byzantine Salamandria
21-06-2006, 22:47
Yep.

We can do this, I guess. I would like to know:

1. How many siblings would you be?
2. What would his role be and the such? Would he hate his father for abusing Claudia?

I would like info if you have any. Also, I will think of a name, I cover the names for the characters. However, Greek (My nation has Byzantine ways in it) names can be good.

I wouldn't mind playing a fairly young bodyguard. Obviously, he ages as time goes on to eventually become an old and trusted veteran protector. (Or mabey he dies young, I don't know.)

1: Would prefere to be only one.
2. Role would be that of a brother, and it would probably depend on how the father abused the sister, and whether it was just her or all the father's children.

Would Raphael, Gabriel, or Michael be acceptable names?

Those names are ok with me, I suppose. Archangels Gabriel and Michael. Gabriel would be good.

There may be other siblings. Also, the abuse can range from emotional to physical and sexual, I may do a mix. Also, the role of Zara's mother is open, I could do her if no one wants to, though who does the father could abuse the mother too, I was planning for that, I guess. I've heard that Hitler and Stalin both had abusive fathers for example, their mothers abused as well.

Fairly *Young* bodyguard, sorry. Forgot a word.

Gimme some time to write up a bio. I'll probably have this guy torn over helping Zara by putting himself between the girl and her father and his patriotic duty by serving his ruler and master faithfully.

That sounds good. Perhaps her father could use him to abuse Zara too, you don't have to if you don't want to. I would be fine doing your plan. Also, it sounds familiar to something I've heard before.

If it was generalized, ie: the father abused everyone, then he'd probably be only mildly protective/only stand up to the father on extreme cases
If it was specific, ie: Just abused the sister, then more likely to be more protective

Also, wasn't her name Claudia?

Claudia? You must be mistaken. The girl's name is Zara. Also, I could have it either generalized (abuse for everyone) or just the sister. What would you prefer it to be? I can bend my nation's history to make everything good for everyone, for this RP at least.

Wouldn't mind either way, but on post 14 you called her Claudia.

Is anyone else interested in joining? Also, to Theao and Ravea, just to confirm, can you tell me who you will be in the RP so I can make sure of things. Also, The Ctan, are you going to be playing as Zara's father? If not, I can get someone else but I understand if you don't want to or what not.

Theao, could you post a bio for your character? I was thinking of giving you a bio for the brother you would be but I guess you could make one up if you want. I could use it for something later.


Ravea and the others, you can post bios for your character if you want.

Certainly.

Name: Princess Zara (last name I am still thinking of)
Age: 10
Height: 5'6
Zara is the daughter of a noble man, she has some siblings. She is a sweet girl and has much intelligence, but does suffer from an abusive father.

Is this a good bio? If not, I can add more.

OOC-I am thinking of titles right now. Also, thank you for complimenting my bio for Zara.

Zara has blue eyes and is a brunette. She is a pretty girl, some people think this about Zara. Would any other info be needed? Also, we could get started some time, as soon as all the roles have been accounted for or something, I guess.

Hobbies include sports, athletics, and other things, I guess. She also wants to grow up well, I guess, she does things any little girl would do and any child would in general.

Also, the mother is a devout Orthodox Christian (think Greek and Russian Orthodox, etc), I suppose. I have considered it. Stalin's mother was a devout woman who wanted Stalin in the Orthodox Church as a clergyman, I believe. That is a example.

Name: Brail Endir
Age:21
Height:6'3

A young and proficeint soldier who acts as a bodyguard under the Zara's father's orders. Recently moved from the battlefield to the Palace, Brail is the protected and sometimes part-time caretaker for the Zara and her sibilings.

Brail is sometimes seen carrying a custom and slightly modernized M-1 rifle while on guard duty, but for serious fights he weilds an large Mechem NTW 20 mm Anti-materiel rifle, a massive weapon which can be used against a variety of mechinized air and land targets, as well as any personell.

He always carries a massive and powerful 454. Casull 'Raging Bull' revolver in a hip holster and usually a long boot knife. Sometimes he'll be hiding a pair of Derringers in small wrist holsters as well. All his guns are loaded with custom incinderary rounds.

Brail wears a well-ironed black suit, usually with full body armor underneath.

Brail is, overall, friendly and quite fond of all the his employer's children, especially the young Zara. His first duty, however, is to Zara's father's wishes. He is quite patriotic, and while some consider him to be a bit overzelous, he is proud to serve his country.

Name: Brail Endir
Age:21
Height:6'3

A young and proficeint soldier who acts as a bodyguard under the King's orders. Recently moved from the battlefield to the King's Palace, Brail is the protected and sometimes part-time caretaker for the King's children.

Brail is sometimes seen carrying a large Ahlspiess lance-sword while on guard duty, but for serious fights he weilds a huge one-of-a-kind pair of scissors, capable of cutting into even the most sturdy platemail. He always carries a long dagger in an arm holster and usually a boot knife.

Brail prefers light armor over plate armor due to the extra speed and flexibility; in battle, he wears padded leather, guantlets, and well-made chainmail. Usually he does not even wear armor around the palace, and will only suit up for serious melees.

Brail is, overall, friendly and quite fond of all the king's children, especially the young Zara. His first duty, however, is to the King's wishes. He is quite patriotic, and while some consider him to be a bit overzelous, he is proud to serve his King and country.

Excellent bio, Ravea.

However:

1. The father is but a nobleman
2. I was going for modern era or something, I guess

I guess you can keep him the way he is if you want, these two things were only things I wanted to tell you. Thank you for joining up. We could start this now, if you and Theao wanted. Though I would want to see if anyone else is interested. If not, I will RP as people like Zara's siblings or her mother (which I may say is open, another person could RP as her mother)

Or...you know, he could be a time traveler or something.

How about it is set then in that time period (near 2000's)? I guess we can do that. If not, we can do what you would like, I guess. I can bend BS' history I suppose. Also, we are starting the RP now. Look for the thread- ''A Girl's Story''.
