Hey, my name is Jack and I've been rping for a good 4-5 years. I consider myself to be a rather literate writer and I enjoy OOC discussions and plotting. I often write long detailed responses and I would like for my partner to be literate as well for the sake of compatibility. I am a college student currently so my schedule can become hectic at times. I'm usually pretty good at communicating but expect periods of gaps in my replies. There's a particular idea that I've been craving lately but the format may seem kind of peculiar to some. So here goes….
Setting: This story takes place in a medieval/fantasy world within the Empire of Avaritia. I'd pictured the world as being more magic and sword vs sword fighting. This means no gunpowder or guns of any sort. Think of early medieval times. I'm actually also looking for someone who is interested in doing some world-building. I intend for this rp to be heavily centralized on politics so if you're into intrigues and plots then feel free to dm me.
Premise: The plot itself is kind of a simple one at the start, although I'm hoping to find someone that can help me elaborate more on the details and maybe even do some world-building. Avaritia itself was among the most powerful countries of this world until recent decades of foreign incursions and internal strife caused the country to slowly wither away. The nobility grew greatly in power while the Crown's authority slowly decentralized. YC would be a princess belonging to the royal family of Avaritia who is betrothed to my character, a duke hailing from the most renowned and influential noble family.
As one may expect, the ambitions of MC and his family far surpass that of nobility. Not only does MC seek power and influence but also the Crown of Avaritia itself. With his marriage to the royal princess and the decentralization of the state, MC knows that it was only a matter of time before his goals are realized.
Now, this is where the premise diverges from what some of you may be used to. I hope to start this rp off with some action right away. By that, I mean that the rp will begin right in the middle of the fateful night in which MC launches his coup. It's important to note that this will take place several months after his marriage to YC and by now, the two already had plenty of time to elaborate on their relationship. Now, what the state of that relationship will be by this time is up for discussion. For me, I kind of see it as the two having fallen madly in love. However, despite his affections towards YC, MC could not surrender his ambitions. And despite what MC has done, YC could not forsake her feelings for him. We essentially start things off with their relationship already "built" in a sense, but we will do the actual building as the rp progresses if that makes sense. I've personally done plenty of rps where relationships were built from the ground up (some stalling as a result) so I think that it'll be rather interesting to add a little twist to the concept.
The coup will ultimately succeed as the royal family is overthrown. Much of YC's family, including the emperor, would be imprisoned pending judgment. All information in and out of the imperial palace would be blocked with MC's men controlling all of its gates. With the exception of those within the palace, the rest of the country would not learn of the coup until the next day. By then, the truth was what MC makes of it. YC herself would be instated as the heir to the Crown before being forced to publicly abdicate to MC, citing the royal family's incompetence and inability to rule.
I hope that throughout this rp, we can slowly reveal and elaborate on the relationship between these two characters. With the event at the start, I think there are a lot of opportunities for this as our characters become embroiled in internal and external conflicts with one another. YC would essentially have to remain as the wife of a husband who has imprisoned and betrayed her whole family. Furthermore, with the fate of her family still up in the air, she would have to do everything she could to convince MC to spare the lives of her loved ones.
I've only thought of the plot to this point. I hope to brainstorm other details with my potential partner. This could either be a short or long-term rp, depending on how much we can come up with. As of how it stands now, I'd pictured it as being short and bitter sweet. Of course, I'm always down for new ideas and potential add on's/modifications. So don't be afraid to share. Thanks
