helloooo there. so I'm looking for a role-play partner, as you can tell, but only for one specific plot. I'll double the plot and rp with another person, but that's only if you really are dying to - otherwise I would prefer to keep it to just one person. I will give you a heads up that I've role-played this plot before on another website so I kind of have the beginning hammered out, though it is always welcome to slight change.
THE PLOT
MC is the princess of a large nation/empire where the royalty and nobility have magical abilities. YC is a knight of said nation/empire and knew MC when they were children, though he is a few years older. On MC's twenty-first birthday her father, the king, throws a grand ball for her. All of the nobility are invited as well as the wealthiest merchants and suitors for MC's hand. YC has just returned from the front lines of battle with a neighboring nation/empire and has been promoted to the Red Swords, an elite group of knights that were the royal guard. They are also present at the ball and stop an assassination attempt on the royal family. MC thanks YC heavily as he is the one to have directly stopped the attempt and asks his name. When he tells her his name, it takes MC a few minutes to remember him but when she does they're both ecstatic. They have a quick dance before she has to attend to formal matters. They grow close as friends again and eventually fall in love, but there are a ton of issues in the nation/empire - which we would decide upon. Other than that, it's up to us what happens.
PARTNER REQUIREMENTS
i. Activity is sooo important for me you can't even imagine. If you're not going to be able to reply frequently then that will be an issue. I will be getting busy here soon(next week) as school is starting up again for me and my riding schedule will get back on track so you can expect me to not be as much as I am now, but I will try to be as active as possible. If activity becomes an issue for you, me, or both of us I am perfectly fine with moving over to e-mail or Google Docs or something along those lines.
ii. I really like knowing who I'm role-playing with so it would be nice if you talked to me OOC.I'm fine with role-playing through thread, private messages, e-mail, or anything else you can come up with. It's up to you though I do better on threads for some reason. iii. I try to type as much as I possibly can but a lot of it has to do with how my partner responds. If your reply is short, mine will be shorter. I hate it when I start out strong with a partner and then our responses get shorter and shorter. So, yeah, length is kind of important to me, as is grammar and spelling. iv. This role-play is going to be set in a fantasy world with some modern technology interlaced, so think Grisha trilogy and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. I have to admit I'm in love with haute couture so expect most of my character's outfits to be such. That gives a little information of how the setting will be sort of modern, but not really. I'm sure we'll come to an understanding through rp.

sounds good, I was probably going to name him like, Ellison, does that work for you? Also I was thinking that you mentioned he had come back from war? Could I give him PTSD or would that be too much? I completely understand if you don't want me to do that!))

The roar of applause and cheering was enormous as the High Princess Astlaug Briem entered the almost too large banquet and ballroom. Her older brother, the future king, had told her that their father had planned an enormous party for her twenty-first birthday, but she didn't think that it would be nearly this crowded. Taking in a deep breath, she put on a large smile that her mother had taught her to wear from a young age and quickly yet gracefully walked down the marble steps that led down to the main floor of the room, her sword Silverlight slapping lightly against her thigh under the skirt of her black dress. The second that her foot stepped upon the dance floor, suitors from all over the kingdom, and even from their bordering kingdoms, came up to her and gave her well wishes and courteous greetings, but she mainly ignored them all with a serene coolness. Throughout all of this, she just wished that it had been a small gathering of the highest noblemen and women, not every lord, lady, duke, duchess, and so on from the country.
Upon reaching her father's feasting dais, she curtly nodded and walked up the small steps.. Picking up her dress and red coat slightly, she looked up at her father and mother with a hard-set stare before sitting down next to the king. That was an amazement and extreme honor, to not bow to them, even for the Grand Princess herself. "Father," she hissed under her breath as she took a sip from her cold glass of red wine.
"Happy birthday, Elissabet," her mother said in her overly sweet and melodic voice. Smiling at her mother, Astlaug graciously dipped her head and then turned her attention back to her father while her siblings and her eldest brother's wife watched on at the unfolding drama and tension.
"Did you really have to invite this many people? Was it an absolute necessity? You couldn't just have invited the high lords and their wives?" Shaking her head before she responded, she focused on the noise of the chains of her crown rattling before fixing her oddly colored gaze upon the crowd of people who were dancing. She knew that soon enough the king would make her go out there and dance with her suitors that she had denied for over five years now, but she would wait until he forced her to do so.

Faolan's honey colored gaze was hard set as he scanned over the patrons of this enormous ball. Once upon a time he also would have wished the princess a happy birthday, but those days were long since gone. Every single one of these people looked fake to him, then again, real life didn't really look real to him anymore, not after all he had seen. He had been promoted, yes, but he had lost many good friends in a ridiculous war that had cost too many lives. He would never tell anyone how he felt about this of course, but he couldn't change the way he felt.
The high princess entered and he watched as she was taken up in a crowd of suitors almost immediately. And then she was pushing her way through with slight defiance. Faolan turned away from her and continued scanning the crowd. He was here to protect the royal family and watching just them would be a bad idea. He had to be ready, even if it was for something that might not happen. The young man rolled back his shoulders and straightened his spine, continuing to scan for anything suspicious, his hand resting on the hilt of the very weapon that had saved his own life more than once.
The job of a Red Sword was to protect the Royal family, and though that was technically the job of all soldiers, or so he felt, the Red Swords were considered the best of the best. How he was one he didn't know, but here he was and he would do his job. He couldn't help but think he might go soft as a Red Sword though, hardly anyone dared to go against the Royal family, only a fool would consider that.
Faolan sighed inwardly, not daring to make a peep on the outside. This party was too much, flashy people, all crowded together for the sole purpose of celebrating a birthday? What was the point of that? He understood all of the suitors here, the princess had been avoiding them, but there was a surprising amount of women, but he had never understood balls in general. They just seemed strange to him.
((Bligh, once he is doing something other than standing this will be better, I feel like I just kind of babbled, sorry!))

[ it's fine! I really like Faolan omg ]
The feast had not yet begun, much to the Grand Princess's disappointment. The commencement of the feast meant that she was that much closer to leaving the wretched ball to go and see to her hounds, but alas, it was hours away at the least. It killed Astlaug to know that they were only at the stage where their guests presented gifts to her at the dais.
Before that actually began, though, the serfs moved away the table that sat in front of her family and placed it somewhere out of sight so that it would be easier to receive the gifts. At her father's signal, the spectacle began. Astlaug received dresses from the kingdoms that contained the finest silks, leather armor from the vassals that held the best cattle, spices from the most oriental of islands . . . anything a person could ever need in life, she received that night. It was truly a tiring process and there had been no excitement up until the moment a man with a short stature approached the steps of the dais and bowed his head, extending his hands up to present his gift. It was held in a fanciful stained-glass box that had an intricate sort of locks on it that immediately gained most of the crowd's attention. The box alone looked more expensive than most of the gifts Astlaug had received that night.
The true excitement hadn't began, though, and neither Astlaug nor her family nor even the Red Sword knew this. Only when the small man asked for the royal family to demonstrate the powers of his presents - which were supposedly fine magical dusts that created colorful patterns in the air - that something primordial and defensive clicked in the Grand Princess's mind. With barely a whisper of her soft cloak and dress she reached down to the scabbard that held Silverlight, all the while smiling at the short man.
