BTW, I know that you're introducing parliaments to this world. Is the continent also experiencing something like The Reformation? A time of protestant break always from the established Church?

Not yet


There’s no no single church either, each country has their own churchs headed by their monarchs

Thank you.

Could you tell a bit more about the general history? Is it similar to Europe? Large empire, decline and fall, building of nations? Or is it different?

The Renaissance suggests something like Queen Elizabeth 1, although the Tarninian situation could also be compared with Queen Victoria.

I haven’t quite worked that out yet, just imagine it’s similar to Europe during the Renaissance right now with a few differences that I’ve mentioned

I’ll post in the IC

Character App

Name: General Jackson Daniel Scott
Age: 29
Position in the Royal Government: General of the Army and Commander of the Queen's Guard
True Intention: To protect the queen as he had protected her father, and to finally tell her how she feels, as she is the subject of his heart
Short Bio: Jackson was born to a colonel and a seamstress. His father gladly supported King Louis and founded the House of Scott as he became closer to the king. Jackson had joined the military years before King Louis came to power, but he was assigned to the King's Guard and rose the ranks to become the Captain. Before the King passed, he fell head over heels for the king's daughter. Now, as King Louis has fallen, he aims to keep the [insert dynasty name here] Dynasty on the throne at all costs.
I have read the rules carefully: Y

So is he a bodyguard captain? We already have a similar character

Oh okay I can change the character to just the General of the Army/Minister of War if you'd like?

how he feels, dunno how I didn't catch that lmao

No worries.

So, your character wants to be my character's rival for Queen Sophie? Hmmm. Sounds like fun!

uh, yeah, I guess so, but he isn't seeking political gain or anything like that

Character App

Name: Duke Friedrich Clarifont.

Age: Twenty-Eight.

Position in the Royal Government: General de Division Teborg, second only to the Marshal of Tarinia. The division stationed within the city of Biymond, regularly used as a supplement for the native policing forces during peacetime and utilized as the Royal Division during wartime.

True Intention: To ensure the continued prosperity and stability of Tarinia and to continue his duty to Queen Sophie’s father, through loyal service to the Crown.

Short Bio: Born as Friedrich Altdorf Von Clarifont, to a prestigious Ducal family in the coastal regions of Tarinia to Duke Friedrich Bertrand Von Clarifont and Duchess Elizabeth Weisse twenty-seven years before the collapse of the Sixurid dynasty. Even from youth, he proved to have a natural affinity for mathematics and geography, much like his father before him. This affinity would blossom in his later youth, and his father was able to secure a position for him as a ward to a Senior officer in the Tarinian military when he was only fourteen.

Of course, this wardship would mostly involve passing on letters, taking notes and various other menial tasks - but it provided him with much needed experience of tactics, as he was often allowed to sit-in for meetings between various figures of the Generalship. It was during this time too, at the age of Sixteen - he would first meet Louis Teborg, a man that he’d quickly come to admire over the years, the more he heard of the man’s ideas for the future and ambitions. And although he could never admit it, due to his military internship - he couldn’t help but agree with Louis’ critiques of the ruling dynasty and its failures to further exploit the nations beneficial circumstances.

Little did Louis know upon meeting this boy for the first time, that only a few years later, when he rose his flag in rebellion - that this boy would play such a key role in ensuring his victory. By the time of the rebellion, Friedrich was a junior officer in the army, long finished his posting as a ward, and now serving directly as an officer of one of the Corps, commanding over two hundred men. During the war, his Corps found themselves isolated from the bulk of the loyalist forces and when Louis sallied forth to meet them, Friedrich made the decision to strike his troops’ colours, and join the rebellion. Not just because failure to do so would’ve resulted in their annihilation, but because he had a great admiration for the future King and his ideas for the realm.

Throughout the war, Friedrich would carry-out a number of fantastical feets, serving as the first officer into the breach during a number of sieges, leading ambitious attacks against enemy lines in the heat of battle, shattering their resolve. And as such, quickly rose up through the ranks, frequently being invited to dine with the future King throughout the campaign - before, on the eve of Louis’ victory, being given the prestigious command of the division de Teborg, a division named after Louis’ dynasty. While stood before the city of Biymond, ”Your Division shall be stationed here, when the war is won - to serve as our noble Capitol’s own veteran guard. Now go, take back your garrison. Drive these Sixurid rats from your streets!”

In the wake of the war, he continued his posting as General de Division Teborg, and although in the wider context of the Army it didn’t give him the greatest amount of influence, it did provide him with a great deal of power and prestige, outside of his own noble titles. For should civil-strife ever befall the Kingdom again, it would be his Division that the Royal family would commandeer, and it would fall to him to ensure that the Capitol held, should war arise.

I've put in the IC that the Ambassador for Derland, in Tarninia, will be hosting a ball in honor of the arrival of Pince Simon Haphsberg of Derland.

If your character is a member of the nobility and/or is a sufficiently ranked member of the military (or Guard), please imagine that they receive an invitation (or orders) and I hope you will have them attend.

Character App

Name: Count Wa Chōwa of Koshin
*Former county name lost to records.

Age: Thirty Five

Position in the Royal Government: Court Philosopher, and Advisor of political, and social matters.

True Intention: Establishing a system of political stability to ensure the rebellion which placed the queen's father on the throne doesn't happen again. While loyal, he views such affairs as foolish to the stability of the realm as the nobility who dream of the days of old where the monarch had to cater to their will in order to keep the realm together.

Short Bio: Descended from a family which arrived a century ago following the outbreak of a brutal civil war in their homeland they made themselves known in the capital for operating shops that catered to the exotics in the fringes. Traders, and merchants who would bring in goods as well as those seeking a home for a time. Eventually, the family rose through society as the decades progressed. The last king of the Sixurid Dynasty referred to by Wa as the "old man" began to take a liking to Wa, and would often engage in a series of philosophical debates within the gardens of the cities upper-class areas. Eventually, Wa was brought into the royal court to observe the political machinations in exchange for providing a fresh set of eyes. In exchange for his services, Wa's father was granted a county outside the city that had long been in disrepair following the deaths of its last occupants some decades ago.

The king in his younger days merely used it as hunting the land, but with his age could no longer maintain it, and simply let the forest reclaim the land. Over time Wa's father died, and the county passed directly unto him, he renamed it Kōshin meaning renewal, in the language of his family's old country. As Wa married and began to have kids things seemed up, but the old king was dying, and his rash son forced him to abdicate. The heir to the throne was unpopular due to his ties to the suspicious death of his elder brother some years ago, and his known cruelty in the treatment of prisoners. The announcement of his enthronement wasn't met with fanfare, but a rebellion by the influential Louis Teborg.

Wa prepared for the funeral of the old king attended by some of the council members furious over their ejection following heated discussions to call for peace discussions. Sometime later the rash prince became a fallen king in battle when Louis caved his chest in a forest ambush not far from the capital. The loyalists wanted to wait out the siege, but assassins struck killing key leaders, and the old council found themselves in power at the behest of those wanting peace. So the gates were opened following some requests not to "take the conquerers right of loot", and Louis sat on the throne. Now the king is dead, and his daughter reigns in his place and many fear the spread of another war while some welcome its opportunity.

Wa, merely wants a system in place that will prevent such a thing from happening again or at the very least buy some much precious time to reform the system. He serves as the court philosopher and advises her majesty, but fears what storms are brewing in the distance.

Edited my post to include Captain Pinelli briefing the Queen's bodyguards.

When will the ball be starting?

I imagine as soon as people say their characters arrive.

LOL, I was very surprised when the OP wrote that the Queen was getting ready for it and had the carriage ready.

The Prince (and his personal servant) are in ready to meet the arriving guests.

[WhatsamattaU]

I'm thinking of adding another character, a spy or someone who doesn't like Tarinia. Perhaps an agent provocateur stirring up the pro-parliament rabble....

[WhatsamattaU]

I see that Nagakawa is putting in some undercover guards in at the ball.... Hmmmm,

Prince Simon: "Johan, I have a job for you."

The question, as far as Prince Simon is concerned is, did anyone mention it to him?

Well I mean the absolute monarch of the largest country on the continent that has just come out of a war for the throne is attending, so he should expect security measures

And also expect that there are those who are not happy about Her Majesty and this foreign Prince.

Anyway, It's just something that's in the mix.
