Here is a RP idea from me again. Although I am doing the Emily of Kanata RP right now, I will see if I can do both.

This RP is to be about the life of Henry VIII, from the viewpoint of his fictional friend, Sir Richard de Clare, who serves alongside his king. The RP is mostly historical, simply RPing the life of Henry VIII, his six wives, Elizabeth and Mary, Thomas More, Cranmer and others. I will be Richard Fisher but characters like Henry VIII are open.

Here is the list of open characters:
1. Henry VIII, King of England
2. Anne Boleyn (Second of Henry's wives,mother of Elizabeth)
3. Catherine of Aragon (First of Henry's wives, mother of Mary)
4. Jane Seymour (One of Henry's wives)
5. Princess Elizabeth
6. Princess Mary
7. Thomas More (author of "Utopia")
8. Thomas Cranmer (Archbishop of Canterbury, author of the first Book of Common Prayer)
9. Henry VII, Father of Henry VIII (Led the Tudors to victory in the War of the Roses)
10. Thomas Cromwell (King Henry's chief minister)
11. Cardinal Wosley

So, anyone interested?

Hmm...you're just full of ideas, are you? :p

Wouldn't mind playing Cardinal Wosley...sounds like an interesting change, playing someone heavily religious.

If you'll have me, I'm in.

I guess my brain is like a factory, generating ideas.

Sure, you can join in as Cardinal Wosley. If you need to, you can read the Wikipedia entry on him, so you can get an idea of who he is, etc.

Thanks for joining.
