The Kingdom of A once was a strong and noble country. Now, it's barely staying together. A series of weak and foolish rulers have nearly ruined the country, and now there is a struggle for power. The king died with many children, but none of them he named heir. And now, many of A's rich noble families are trying to claim the throne for their own. The only way anyone can claim it is if they have full support from many powerful people, but it's so much easier just to kill the competition. - Important Place

Z is strong. Their kingdom is one of the largest and most powerful and the world, and there is almost nothing that can stop them from getting what they want. And what they want is A. But a full-blown war and conquest of the neighboring kingdom would be too hard on the people and cost too much. But if they can manage to kill the right people, then a war would not be needed to place A in their hands. - Important Place

This is just an idea, don't feel like you have to use it c:
Important places could be the capital city, the palace, local taverns/shops, lakes and forests, basically whatever you think peeps need to know about.
And would nobility go under Royalty or Others? If you want them under royalty, I suggest adding "& Nobility" next to Royalty on that mini-header.

I'll add everything in a while, all good ideas! I'll add literacy rules and activity demands to rules Nobles would make more sense under royalty considering their power so I'll make a section for them! Any ideas for Kingdom names?

Updated with all current info, other than υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк 's characters which I'll post once they're finished Most important thing right now is the names of the kingdoms. We could always do real simple or we could get fancier if anyone has any ideas

eyyy i'm finally back the page looks great!! I love how everything is coming together. i'll get my forms up asap. do we want to do like a joining page, to keep as like an index to keep up with members and plot n stuff?
do you think you could define the terms of active and literate better? some people's definition can mean 5 paragraphs and for others 3 paragraphs, I personally think literate it like at least 1 paragraph of like four sentences but I mean, your call. and then like prolonged period as in like 2 weeks or 3 weeks? not to be nit picky but just to clarify stuff.
should we explain more of the duties of guards and nobility n stuff? cause the lines do get bit blurred. and then for like the world maybe we should have a bit of an explanation of the assassins and stuff so people have background on that?
just kinda thinking out loud... or on the laptop, but still, just some thoughts.

Wb! I could easily make a joining page, I think it would help organize everything No you're right, literate for me means at least four or more sentences as well I forget that not everyone defines it like that. And I was hoping on asking what you guys thought was an appropriate period of absence so I'll definitely update that!
There's definitely a lot of work that needs to be done with explaining things. Considering guards and knights can work for anyone with authority and assassins can work for anyone we need to convey that somewhere. I'm typing up characters right now but I'll definitely change the rules and then type out some more explanations in a min

cool cool, good to know we're on the same page.
The kingdoms didn't always live this way. Peace was always in demand somewhere, but today it was needed more than ever here, in the midst of towns where chaos and distress reigned. The king of Kingdom A had fallen deathly ill, and hadn't proclaimed any of his numerous heirs the heir to take the throne. Kingdom A was in ruins. With many princes and even some princesses vying to win the people to gain the throne. Some called in assassins and other dirty methods leaving many injured and even more eliminated. Next door a kingdom of high prowess reigned, Kingdom Z, keeping a tight leash on all of it's occupants. The king of Kingdom Z had one goal; domination. With his forces spread far and wide, he knew he couldn't take his few elite men into the heat of battle. No, this war would be a war of the wits, and now with Kingdom A in shambles it was his time to deliver a brisk decisive blow to end it all. Where will you side in the fight contending of kingdoms?
jus a thought for a brief intro, I wasn't sure of all the details so edit freely.

yeah me too, I kind of like the idea of keeping it simple to match out nice layout.

True true. I'm writing a novel right now so we could always use the names from that if we get desperate lol. We also need a name for the king that died and the king of 'z' which I'll rp if no one else wants to! For the dead king what if we did like King Fredrick IV or something super simple lol

Hey! I don’t know if I’m late to the party, but the kingdom war thing you’ve got going on sounds pretty great. I was attracted to this by the front page. I’m a Slytherin too and I love the office!

something super European and super basic. Frederick the fourth sounds gr8. i'm sure you'd make a wonderful king z. i'll be your dude's queen.
do you think we should limit the amt of heirs the dying kingdom has? I feel like that could get out of hand rlly fast.
peppermint!!! hi friend!! ((i shall get you a nickname too... we'll see what i can think up)) the official page is going up soon but you can totally help with some discussion, I think. kingdom names we've hit a stale mate with so any input is welcome!

Lovely, I think I'll make three characters to start and maybe add more later. I might make five the character limit tho if we end up needing one I think no more than five heirs would be best and each person can only have one if they choose to rp one. Or less if that sounds too chaotic.
Hey Peppermint! Of course you can help us out, like Ink said, some help with Kingdom names would be great lol

Cochren or Triton would be better for Z bc they both originated from Grecian mythology. Cochulus was a powerful, somewhat cruel kingdom. Triton was Pseidon’s son, and was known to be one of the greatest and strongest figures of Greek mythology.
As for A, Galena sounds good. Galena was the goddess of calm seas. Or Acheous. He was a powerful water deity that was known to kill many heroes. Or even Vermir. It comes from the Asgardian mythology as one of the nine worlds.

Alessandra (whatever the last name is) | 17 years old | Female | Kingdom of Triton | Princess | Pepper Mint Alessandra is known to be quite beautiful. There is fluidity and grace in her very movement and feature, whether it be the way she dances or her prominent cheekbones and strong jaw. She is quite slender, but has little to no muscle and small curves. Part of the reason why she is so striking is the way she carries herself with confidence and a sort of regality that was pruned from an early age. She has the darkest brown loose waves that fall to the small of her back, and caramel golden skin that are sprinkled with freckles on her shoulders and bridge of her nose. She will usually put her hair up in a simple braid - her choice - or an elaborate bun - her mother's. Alessandra's best feature is easily her eyes. With a warm, light brown color, they are flecked with gold and amber and framed by long, dark lashes. She has dimples that only come out when she truly smiles, and she despises them. She will frequently wear the court dresses most often in jewel tones or gold - they look good with her coloring - but will often wear peasant trousers and a tunic when she sneaks out. Alessandra could care less for the court, always exceeding in her academic and music lessons with her several tutors. But she knows that if she is to be an asset to her country, she must play the part. She will later learn she is quite adept at blackmailing and backstabbing people in a cutthroat court. She loves to learn new things, and is highly intelligent, especially in verbal reasoning and cognitive thinking. She is not naturally manipulative, and is instead honest and sincere in everything she does. To a court suffocating with lies and betrayal, she is a breath of fresh air. She is charming and witty, and is good at playing the part of the younger, spare heir. She loves to have fun, and enamors herself in dancing, music, and poetry. She excels at playing the violin. She is courageous and daring to a fault, and will do anything she can to do the right thing every time. She has a bad temperament and has great trouble holding in a backhanded comment. She is vibrant, vivid, and optimistic. She can attach herself way too easily to other people. as she can be naive. She is also incredibly stubborn. She does try her best, though. Alessandra is essentially, everything the court is not. She has a beautiful gray dappled horse named Sarayu - meaning wind - whom she loves to ride. She also has a corgi-like dog named Poppin.

Heyo for input (that may or may not still be relevant) i define literacy as a paragraph at least and inactivity should be like a week (without notice) for people's characters to be freed from a plot and two weeks without notice for suspended or deleted or whatevs.
I like all those kingdoms names as well. Irony is a fav thing of mine tho so if the meaning behind it is ironic that is 10/10 in my book
