The court of Washington formally invites you to the 21st birthday celebration of His Royal Highness Jefferson T Washington, Prince of America, Duke of Maryland, Viscount Annapolis. The grand fete will take place at the White Palace on the 15th of October at 7 o'clock in the evening. The honor of your presence is requested.
It is tradition for the royals to look for a spouse when they turn 21. While the Prince is the most eligible bachelor, he will not be the only member of the American peerage in attendance. In fact, foreign royalty will send their sons and daughters to also look for a suitable partner whether it's the prince or not. Families without titles but deep pockets will also be in attendance, though it is not likely they will catch the attention of the long reigning and wealthy Washington family.
The question is; Who will?

Okay, so now that you have read that short little spill meant to grab the attention of a potential partner, I will fill in the blanks on what I am hoping for. The prince mentioned in the invitation above is the Prince of America. Yes, in this rp, America has a monarchy, the royals living in the beautiful White Palace (could have went with White Castle, but then I'm hungry for burgers every time I read it). This is a modern rp, based in modern times, so cellphones, cars, etc are A-Okay! My hope is to find someone willing to play the prince. The type of character is I'm thinking for him to be is this; He is affectionately called "The Perfect Prince" by the media. The type of public figure that has never stepped a toe out of line. He always seems to have the perfect response to reporters or citizens of America who have the pleasure of meeting him.
In contrast, the character I am thinking for him to be paired with is a photojournalist with a rough backstory. A commoner with a far from perfect and lonely upbringing in the system (aka foster care), and though is doing okay for herself through her job, her past is a constant in the back of her mind. She's hard working, clutching tightly to what she has achieved despite her upbringing.
My idea is that the two would meet at the Prince's birthday party, and while all the princes and high class ladies are tripping over themselves, he meets MC, who just wants to do her job. I can see this surprising him, maybe even making her more interesting to him. In my head I do have a few other interactions throughout the course of the rp in mind, but overall, I'm leaving it pretty open for us to discuss and figure out how we want the interactions and relationship to build between these two characters.
We can also, if we want to, include other members of the royal family, come up with stories for one or two of them if we want. I love having side characters or side couples to play around with as well.
Writing wise, I'm looking for someone that can post at least three paragraphs or more. I understand sometimes it can be hard to find inspiration or in cases where there may not be a lot of dialogue/action and instead back and forth interaction. So every once and a while if my partner is below that, its no big deal. But if I'm being given just a paragraph or two for every post, I will get bored VERY quickly, because its usually not enough detail for me to work with. My hope would be getting a post a day, as that is what I try to shoot for with my partners (a lot of times you might see me giving multiple posts if I'm not so busy).
Currently, I am looking to only play female for this rp. One obviously being the commoner to the prince. I can play a princess to another male as well. A princess to a brother of the 'perfect prince' (arranged marriage???). Or, even a female lover to a princess (which I could see being a no-no in the royal family). But really, my MAIN focus would be on the prince and his commoner love interest, the other couples not being played out as much, if at all depending on who we want and how we want to play them.
I am open to a lot of ideas, so if you are interested, feel free to come at me with them.
