[I'll just do a starter for both of them so you can choose one and then when clover's shift ends she can reply straight away, since I don't know if I'll be here in four hours.
You can totally do that if you want to!]

Elric Rosencratz moved down a hallway, a small pile of books tucked under his arm. They were only from the library but he was sure they were new since he hadn't read them before. Some were collections of academic papers from scholars he admired, and others were simply books on topics he enjoyed to study. He thought he might read them in front of the fire in his chambers because he didn't really fancy doing anything big that evening.
He walked through the many corridors, eyes moving to the many portraits lining the hallways. Of him and his siblings. And one of him and his mother. In that portrait, he hadn't gotten the scar on his cheek that was a shiny silvery feature on every subsequent painting. He was very young, it would seem, maybe about four or five. There were some subsequent paintings, of course, since Elric had been a teenager when she died. But that was his favourite one. Elric had the most memory of what their mother had been like, though he was certain the older siblings like his brother Gabriel would remember her well too.
He was rather enchanted by this picture, it would seem, as he had stopped for a mere moment to look at it. Elric was always flustered and in a hurry, always busy. Always doing something. So the fact he had stopped for even a moment meant something quite big for Elric.
___________________________
Elise Fairburn was polishing a silver ornament in one of the huge parlour rooms in the palace, her brows furrowing as she aimed to get it cleaned to the standards of the palace. She was not one to do a lazy job of anything - she always tried her hardest.
The palace had been where she was born and raised, and she didn't mind being a maid so much. The people in the palace had always been kind to her and she wasn't badly paid. The worst parts were the palace drama. Arguments among the royal children or the staff.
Elise was never a part of these arguments because she was a friend to everyone. Especially the princes and princesses. She had grown up alongside them, especially Gabriel and Elric, who weren't far from her age. She had played with them a lot when she was a young girl. Before she had started working as a maid, that was. One didn't have much time for fraternising with the princes and princesses when they were working long hours as a palace maid. But she did enjoy spending spare moments with them when she could. She felt very comfortable in the presence of the royal princes and princesses; they felt familiar to her, reminiscent of simpler times and summers spent roaming the palace gardens all day. Climbing trees and laughing as children do.

Rebecca "Rebby" Rosencratz | 8 | Female | Sweetclover1
Appearance: Rebby is small, even for her age, in every way imaginable. She has almost delicate features, making her look almost doll-like when she's sitting still or waiting for something. Of course she's still a little girl filled with energy, so when she's moving around she looks almost like a little pixie, even her hair, which is a dark honey color, is cut short. This is, of course, because of a recent incident that had to do with her falling into a vat of something incredibly sticky in the kitchen, so currently her hair barely covers her ears, and is lightly curled. She has the same blue-greyeyes as her eldest brother, Eric, the only difference is that hers are blank, unseeing (for the malt part, she can still sense a small amount of light.)She's been blind since she was about four, when she fell incredibly ill and left her without her sight and a compromised immune system. Does this stop her from getting into all sorts of mischief? Of course not, if anything her lack of sight has made her more curious of the real world and her need for independence has grown. She's been known to wander outside the castle, trying to get past the walls, but usually someone catches her.
Personality: Rebbys a bit of an adventurous type. She's curious, always wanting to figure out the answers to her questions or figuring out some type of puzzle. She tries her best to be independent and confident like her older sister, but she's painfully shy around strangers, more likely to hide behind her older siblings than to actually introduce herself. She's easily amused, and loves silly jokes and she absolutely loves the kitchen staff, in fact, if you can't find her chances are she's there. .
Other: She has a retriever she's named Tibet, who usually keeps her from running into things and falling off of edges.

Keagan Guildenstern | 23| Male | Sweetclover1
Appearance: Keagan has a rather slight build. He stands at about 5'7, but has little to no fat on his body, but there isn't much muscle, either. At the beginning of the rolepaly he's really nothing more than skin and bone. He has olive colored skin that easily darkens the longer he's in the sun, and has thick black hair, that is constantly a mess and his eyes are a bright, friendly green color. He has a scar that cuts his left eyebrow in half, oartof it in a zig zag pattern, but that's The only visible scar he has. He has plenty of others on his back, chest, and torso but those are carefully hidden by his clothes. He always wears a small necklace that's nothing more than a thin, gold chain with a compass in the middle of it. He works on the palace, usually in the library, although he's nearly illiterate, only knowing enough of this kingdoms written language to get by and grab books and scrolls requested, but other than that he can't read but wants to learn. Personality: Keegan is... skittish. That might be the best word to describe him for the time being. Easily startled, easily intimidated, despite his 5'7 stature he walks in such a way that makes himself look small. He wasn't always like this, granted he was always the shy intellect, but four years of slavery made him even more anxious around others. If you can break him out of his shell you can see a portion of that man still, and you can see a much brighter personality, a man who enjoys learning and laughter. He has a stutter that gets worse the more anxious he is, so he usually opts for not speaking since it's a point of mockery for many.
Other: he's a former prince of another kingdom, disowned by his family although that is something to be found out later. He was sold into slavety, until one of the princesses helped him escape and gave him the job at the palace. (Note I'm making the form for said princess.)

Thoren Finnel|17|Male|Solstice
Appearance: Thoren quite a good looking young man. He is average in build and height for his age with tanned skin, dark brown wavy hair that falls to his shoulders, which is tied back into a loose and messy ponytail most of the time. (To keep it out of the way.) His eyes the color of deep water, and he also sports a pencil thin mustache and slight goatee. His hands are notably rough in accordance to his profession, and his arms are a bit more muscular than the rest of his build, but not to the point where it is an unattractive feature. His chest and neck are also littered with old burn scars from flying sparks.
Personality: Thoren is a very brave and noble young man who is willing to risk his life for people he cares about. He is extremely loyal. He is also polite and humble to those higher ranked than himself but he can be considered brash and impulsive as well. He also doesn't hold a high regard for authority rules that conflict with his own moral judgement. He would be willing to break the law if he were to feel it was necessary. In general he is a good friend, and a solid character. He is dependable, and not two faced. Impulsivity and not always thinking things through would be his major flaws. Other: Thoren, despite his age is an accomplished swordsmen, and weapons user, and enjoys sparring with the royalty, as it is one of his job descriptions.
(sorry that took so long. My siblings and I got into a discussion, and they were side tracking me.)

(Yus XD Thoren may be a moral guy, but laws mean little to him, so breaking some may definitely come up at some point. partners in crime would be awesome. I kinda see him as a younger Will Turner from POTC, if you guys watch those. Alrighty, I will post starter replies for my characters. )

Gabriel groaned softly as he rolled over in his bed, the streaming sunlight finally becoming too bright for the prince to ignore. He was a heavy sleeper and loved the comfort of his bed. Truly he would sleep the day away, were it not for the sun. For whatever reason, he could sleep through most things, but it had to be dark. Dark and encompassing.
With another slight groan he stretched his arms above his head, and stood. Listlessly he moved, as if still in a dream, to get dressed, and brush his long tangled mat of golden hair. He "morning" routine generally took an good thirty minutes, mostly due to the half asleep prince bumping into things, or not doing things correctly in his sleep laden state. After re-buttoning his shirt for the third time, and finally managing to get his favorite gold ornament to clasp around his signature loose side ponytail that hung over his shoulder, he walked out into the hall to greet the day. _____________________________ Thoren, (unlike his prince) had been up since before day break, working on his current project, a new sword. Surely the young man had made many a sword in his day. He'd been working as an apprentice blacksmith for many a year now, having started at a measly eight years old, but this current one was special. He wanted it to be completely perfect in every way, before he offered it to the royal family. Swords had been broken in sparring infrequently, but it did happen, so new swords were always in the works. Making the perfect sword meant hours of dedicated attention from the young man. If the metal got to hot, that was a flaw, strike it one time to many, that was a flaw. Precision was need, and precision was what Thoren intended to have. so focused and accustomed to his job was he, that he hardly felt burns if they happened any more. While he waited for the metal to heat up enough, he managed to take in a bite of the bread that was originally his breakfast, but had been neglected in his current work.

Elisa finally finished polishing that blasted piece of silverware, before packing up her cleaning paraphernalia. She would have to make sure the fires were lit for the day. That was one of the most important jobs because the palace was a warm building and if the fires weren't lit the rooms got cold rather quickly.
So she left the room and headed out into the corridors, heading around a corner, when she nearly bumped into Prince Gabriel. The petite woman let out a little shocked sound, before giving a small smile and dipping into a quick curtsey as usual.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Your Highness" Elisa quickly apologised
She was actually quite happy to see Gabriel. He was the member of the royal family closest to her own age; they were both twenty years old. They had grown up alongside eachother, most certainly, though from her teenage years they certainly hadn't seen eachother quite as much as they might have liked. She missed the princes and princesses, which was strange considering they lived in the same building.

PAYTON DUBLIN | 18 | Female | firestorm35
Payton is a taller girl, standing at 5'9". Her wavy hair is very light blonde that reaches the small of her back. She has large, dark brown eyes, freckles overlaying her small nose and under her eyes, and a very sharp bone structure. No one has seen her body underneath the usually ill-fitting tunic and pants she wears but she's quite thin and toned. Her skin is tanned, making her hair look even lighter. She's not like any of the other girls she grew up with and gets a lot of heat for not acting like a "proper lady". Her lips are something she feels self conscious about because they seem to be just a bit too big. She has a nasty scar starting at the right side of her forehead and stretching down to her cheek.
Payton is quiet and reserved, observing rather than talking. She hates dresses and refuses to ever wear one. She wishes she looked beautiful like other girls but that's not her job so she ignores the feeling. Payton can be seen training in the castle with the other guards. She's a tortured soul, trusting no one. She's seen things that no one should have to see and it keeps her awake at night. She doesn't get attached to people because she might have to kill them the next day.
When Payton was young, her father taught her how to fight and defend herself. She got so good that one day her father brought her before the king to show him her talents. At first the king was repulsed by this girl fighting like a soldier but he saw her potential and agreed to pay her father in exchange for Payton. Heartbroken, she realized she would never see her family again. She grew up training in the castle and now, she's one of the best fighters the king has. She is whatever the king wants her to be: an assassin, a spy, a soldier, etc.

Gabriel blinked, still in his slightly sleep dazed state. He took a moment to register what had just happened, before his signature warm smile fell into place, and his green eyes warmed a bit. "Good Morning, no need to fret. It is quite alright." He smiled at her.
Being as they had grown up together and were only months apart, Gabriel remained quite smitten with Elisa, much more so than the other castle staff. She had been one of his closest childhood friends after all. He had been sad when their days together had become shortened, and as they had both matured, been forced to fall into their respective roles. His schooling, and studies in being royalty had been a lonely time for the Prince, and though he understood it and had grown accustomed to it, he still longed for those carefree days in the sun when they could just be themselves and spend time together.
"And honestly, there is no need for such formality. we are in our shared home after all." His smile was genuine, before turning a bit sheepish. "Such formalities make me feel stuffy and old. Between friends, Gabriel is just fine."

[Okay I like her, I would just say to be careful when roleplaying her not to make her Mary-Sueish because she doesn't seem to have many flaws outside of the way society views her since she is a female. Like I said I will add you, just be careful when rping her]

Elisa smiled, a little twinkling appearing there, reminiscent of the sparkle of excitement from when they were children. She had not felt like this is a long time.
"That's good because I felt the same way," Elisa smiled "It's been so long, Gabriel"
It felt good to call him Gabriel again. When they were children they had shortened some of their names. Elisa had become El and Gabriel had been shortened to Gabe. Rebecca had always been affectionately known as Rebby. Even Elric, the serious oldest prince forced to grow up too fast after the death of his mother and the duties of being the next in line to the throne, had been shortened to Ric.
They both knew why it had been so long. They didn't need to talk about it. Gabriel had taken on the duties of a prince and Elisa those of a maid. And that was fine. Roles were roles, after all. The palace couldn't function otherwise.
But still, she missed being a carefree child and not having to worry about formalities. At least Gabriel had brought some of that back.
