A Choice: A Selection RP
For 12 single girls in between the ages of 16-20 that live in the country of Illéa, an application will be sent to you once our beloved Prince Andrew turns 18 years old. Once you send your application in, you will be randomly selected to compete against those 12 other girls to win the heart of the Prince. The Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for you since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Andrew. Are you one of the lucky girls to be drawn in the Selection?
The Rules of The Selection
The Rules of The Selection
1. The contestant cannot leave the palace on her own accord. She can only be dismissed by the prince himself.
2. There is no timeline for the Selection — it can last from days to years.
3. The contestant cannot arrange her times with the prince. If in a large social setting, this rule does not apply.
4. The contestant cannot fight or sabotage other participants. If the contestant is found laying her hands on another contestant, causing her stress, stealing from her, or doing anything that might diminish her personal relationship with the prince, the prince will decide whether to dismiss her or not.
5. The contestant can only have a romantic relationship with the prince. If the contestant is caught in a relationship with someone else, it is considered treason and punishable by death.
6. If the contestant is found breaking any of Illéa's written laws, her punishment will be tied to that offense.
7. The contestant cannot eat food or wear any clothes not provided to her by the palace.
8. The contestant must be courteous to photographers, and allow them to see her lifestyle with the prince.
9. For each week the contestant stays at the palace, her family will be compensated.
10. If the contestant is no longer in the Selection, she will have an aide to help her adjust to her new life after the Selection. Her aide will help the contestant find new housing and employment.
11. If the contestant makes it to the top three, she is considered as an Elite, and will be required to learn about particular inner workings of the life and obligations she would have as a princess. Until then, the contestant is not permitted to seek out such information.
12. The contestant's caste number is automatically raised to a Three, unless she was already a Three prior to being Selected. Her family's caste remains the same. If the contestant was already a Two prior to the Selection, her and her family's status will remain the same.
13. If the contestant wins the Selection, she and her family will become Ones and members of the royal family. The contestant will also marry the prince and become the crowned princess of Illéa, taking on all the rights and responsibilities of the title.
The Castes
Illéa is broken up into Castes. Castes determine your profession, where you live, and how wealthy you are. You are born into your caste and you must abide by your caste's rulings. You can, however, buy your way up a caste, which is expensive and only done if you have more than enough money for food, electricity, a house, etc.. You can also marry your way up or down a caste.
One
Ones are royalty. This is a position of power and at the very top of the caste system. Upon winning the Selection, a girl will become a One.
Two
Celebrities; including athletes, singers, actors/actresses, models, politicians, police officers, firefighters, guards, and military members. Twos have a lot of money and are known to be snobby and beautifiers.
Three
Brilliant minds; including inventors, teachers, philosophers, scientists, doctors, veterinarians, dentists, architects, librarians, engineers, therapists/psychologists, film directors, music producers, lawyers, and writers. They have money and do not have to worry about starving. *Those who are Selected immediately become a Three if their caste was previously lower.*
Four
Businessmen, jewelers, real estate agents, insurance brokers, head chefs, construction managers, property/business owners, factory workers, and farmers. Life is a bit harder as it requires more work, and money isn't as easy to come by.
Five
Artists and Performers; including stage actors, classical musicians, singers, dancers, photographers and circus performers. Fives are not famous performers like Twos, but if they are noticed and begin to make money, they can buy their way up. Life is becoming harder, and food is rarer still to come by. Fives have been known to sacrifice electricity in their home to have enough money to buy food.
Six
Workers; including secretaries, waiters/waitresses, housekeepers, seamstresses, store clerks, cooks, and drivers. They are known to have less money and live harder lives than even Fives. The servants (such as maids, cooks, and butlers) in the palace are all Sixes.
Seven
Manual Laborers; including gardeners, construction workers, farm hands, gutter/pool cleaners, trash collectors, ditch diggers, and movers. Sevens are very similar to Sixes, but they have outdoor jobs instead. *None of the Selected are Sevens*
Eights
"Untouchables"; including mentally/physically unwell people, addicts, runaways, illegitimates, traitors, and the homeless. *None of the Selected are Eights*
Now that you know the ways of Illéa and the Selection... Will you apply?
Rules
The main outlines and ideas for this role-play are based off of The Selection series written by Kiera Cass. If you haven't read them, I strongly recommend the series; they're amazing books!
Here are a few rules you have to read before you decide to join-
I. Follow all Forum and Ghost rules: Even with the new forums, those old rules still apply! Thanks!
II. Be active: For higher roles (such as royals, or the Elite later on) please try and be on at least twice or three times a week, and more than just dropping by to say hello. It makes it hard to keep this role-play going otherwise! Put "Eadlyn" in your 'other' section so I know you read the rules. You will be deleted after two weeks of inactivity. Please tell me if you're going out of town or won't be able to be on for a long period of time, and I'll happily excuse you.
III. Be literate: Okay, I'm not asking for a book here, but please try to stay away from one-liners! They make the plot very dry, and there is usually more to talk about. Please no "text talk", and keep your writing in third person so we can keep this consistent Also, please try to use correct spelling and grammar as well as using (),[],{} when not role-playing.
IV. Language: Mild language is allowed, seeing that there are a bunch of teenage girls fighting over one boy, there is bound to be some drama. But please, let's keep it to a PG-13 level.
V. No perfect characters/keep to your own characters: Everyone has flaws, and perfect characters aren't as fun to RP as they don't have as much personality and personal challenges. Also, do not RP another's characters without permission.
VI. Be kind: Please don't make this an uncomfortable place for everyone else by being rude. We all need to respect each other in every way, please. If I find that you're acting in an inappropriate way, I'll give you one warning before deleting you. Also, LGBTQ+ characters are allowed, so make sure that you're okay with that before you decide to join.
VII. All big plot points (An elimination, death, chosing of the One, etc.) must be approved by me or a Mod: Just to keep things in order! I currently have no mods, but once the RPing gets going, I'll ask a few people if they would be up for it.
VIII. Have fun

Royals
His Majesty King Charles Schreve |42 years old | One |
King Charles is tall and broad-shouldered with intelligent dark brown eyes. His thick, brown hair is now peppered with gray, but luckily is not thinning much yet. He has prominent cheekbones and a strong, square chin, but is in the habit of frowning more often than smiling. Charles is a very business-like and sensible man. He always prefers to get straight to the point of a matter and has strong opinions, although he will listen to all sides of an issue before making a decision. He has very high standards for himself and all those around him, especially Alexander, because their country deserves the best and the best is what they shall get. Katherine is good for him; her giddiness is a contrast to his typically brusque personality, but she makes him smile. He always does his best to put his kingdom first.
| ..HollyWood.. |
Her Majesty Queen Katherine Schreve | 41 years old | One |
Queen Katherine is beautiful, that would be the only real way to describe her. She has long, dark brown hair that shines with a beautiful red tint in the sunlight, and it is always combed to perfection. Her complexion is a light tan, with stunning blue eyes that contrast her otherwise darker features. She's about medium height at around 5'8", and is lean and very proper in every way, with nails always painted a light pink and always wearing a jeweled necklace that matches her crown. Her Majesty is very energetic, always needing to put her opinion in, even if that might make her advisors unhappy. She is proper when she needs to be, which is how the country sees her, but when there are no cameras, she is as peppy as a 15 year old girl. She loves her children and her husband with all that she has, more than her position as queen.

His Royal Highness Prince Andrew Schreve | 18 years old | One |
Being preceded by his sister, Princess Charlotte, a whopping fifty minutes older, Crown Prince Andrew Schreave is First in line for the Illean throne. Because of this, Andrew is one of the most, if not the most, protected person on Illean soil. Between being put into cabinet meetings by the ripe age of six and being isolated from most of the country, Andrew matured very early on. The prince - nicknamed Andy by only his family and staff that's been with him since childhood - has a level head in most situations and is very businesslike, like his father, King Charles. Andy is aloof, sarcastic, and biting - mostly just because of his childhood, as his earliest memories are calculating Twos in suits around long tables arguing about mundane things that would only be argued about in government work. On the Report, and to most strangers, the stench of royalty and strong leadership rolls off of him in waves. He's presumed, very wrongly, to have a mean, sarcastic humor, but that is not true. In private, to his family and closest workers and friends, Andy's truly a joy to be around. Though he is aloof, once he let his guard down for a moment, one can truly tell he's quick with a classic one-liner and an almost contagious laugh. Even though Andy's correct title is Crown Prince Andrew, His Royal Highness, or the Crown Prince, Illean - and worldwide - media has dubbed him "Baby Prince" although now the nickname could not be more out of place with him. Andy is tall, past the six foot mark, broad-shouldered, and sharp-featured with dark blue eyes that have always been hard to read. That paired with his raven-black hair makes him a far cry from a "baby", but the media dubbed him that and it stuck for him.
| Redawn |
Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Schreve | 18 years old | One |
Charlotte, in a sense, is a lot like her mother when it comes to looks. She has brown hair which is cut short, but her eyes are that of her father. She likes to spend a lot of time outside so she has a nice tan and she is fit even though she is required to stay in a lot. Unlike her mother she is less than proper, but when push comes to shove she can be bribed into acting like she is. That can be done with anything sweet. Charlotte enjoys riding horses and avoiding most responsibilities. If she isn't outside or on a horse she can be found in the library. She may seem very friendly and approachable but she had a mouth on her that any sailor would be proud of, though of course she watched it around people of importance.

The Selected
Quinn McLeery | 17 years old | Four |
Quinn was born into a family of farmers, who mostly farmed corn and soy. She's taller, about 5'9", and is athletic due to the hard work on the farm for all of those years growing up. Her hair goes down to her shoulders and is a dark blonde, and her eyes are green. She would be pale if it weren't for her out in the sun working all day, which has given her a darker tan, that cover the freckles that dance across her nose, something she's always been conscious about. She signed up for the Selection in hope to possibly find a better life, one that she could support her family, and maybe find love in the process. Quinn is a hopeless romantic, never really being in a serious relationship prior to the Selection, and hopes to find that gooey love that you see on TV. Other than that, she's kind and light-hearted, liking to make jokes and be friends with everyone. She has two little brothers and an older brother, being the only girl in her family besides her mother. She surprisingly loves anything to do with cosmetics; probably due to not having much access to it growing up. Hair, makeup, she loves doing all of it, when she can. She of course doesn't go overboard, but likes the way that it can bring out certain features. Back home, makeup and hair styling was only for special occasions, such as a school dance, or a wedding, but now at the palace, she gets that kind of treatment everyday. This doesn't mean she doesn't miss it at home, however.

Florence Dubois | 17 years old| Three |
Florence is a petite girl with long, wavy, blonde hair. She has icy blue eyes and a slight tan. Being a three, Florence is well educated, with very smart parents who are both lawyers. Despite the fact that her parents work is in law Florence takes more interest in teaching and health. Florence does volunteer work at primary schools in the science departments. She is smart but can be very, very stubborn. Florence likes to get her way and can be argumentative when people disagree with her. She believes that she always has the right opinion so when people have altering opinions it can easily frustrate her. She is a kind person even though she is argumentative and stubborn. She volenteers at the poorer primary schools to try to give lower castes educations. Her family consists of three people including her and she is an only child, probably what makes her like to get her way more. Her parents are often busy with work and she is left on her own fairly often.
OPEN TO CLAIM
Abigail Andrews | 18 years old | Three |
UP TO CLAIM!!
Hazel Dawn Davenport | 17 years old | Five |
Hazel is a happy, spirited girl who stand around five and a half feet tall. She has curly dark brown hair, hazel-green eyes, a straight nose that turns up just lightly at the tip, and rosy lips. Her eyebrows arch slightly as if she is always slightly amused by or skeptical of what she is seeing. Hazel is an artist, and loves looking for pretty things to sketch or paint; taking the time to sit still and find beauty in the ordinary tends to be a good coping method for her when she is stressed, and she would much rather look for the good in things anyhow. She loves color, and even on the rare occasions when her skin and clothes are not covered in paint, she tends to dress colorfully for no other reason than it makes her smile. Optimistic though she might be, however, Hazel is not by any means shy, and she can tend to be outspoken or stubborn. Overall, she just wants to enjoy life and find ways to be happy. She spent enough time being unhappy when her only sibling, a younger sister named Violet, was put in a wheelchair due to an accident about five years ago. Hazel signed up for the Selection because it sounded like an adventure, and no adventure seems greater than falling in love—even if the prince does seem exhaustingly stern. Maybe she could show him how to have fun.
| ..HollyWood.. |
Ela Delahay | 17 years old | Five |
Ela is a pretty young lady. She has medium length chocaltey brown hair that goes just past her shoulderblades. Her skin is barely tanned and her eyes are a glittering blue color. She stands at about 5 feet 6 inches tall and has a slim figure as a result of living in a less-wealthy family with little food and many siblings to feed. Ela is a sweet and innocent girl who always tries to find beauty in everything. She absolutely adores nature and will almost always be found outside tending to a garden or picking wildflowers to give away to people.

OPEN TO CLAIM
Crystal Helena Bennett | 19 years old | Two |
Crystal is a tall girl and very curvy, almost to the point of appearing overweight. She has a beautiful heart-shaped face with white teeth, full lips, and large sky-blue eyes and long lashes. Her hair is long and black and just too wavy to be called straight. Though Crystal cuts a stunning figure, she is painfully shy, and tries very hard not to stand out. She is the daughter of famous jazz singer Edmund Bennett and cosmetic designer Helena Bennett, for whose products Crystal once modeled, though she was too embarrassed to continue. Crystal’s secret dream is to be a pianist, and she does have the skill and she would have the stage presence, but her stage fright gets in the way. She has confidence issues, perhaps from growing up in the shadow of her parents and two talented (and confident) older brothers, but deep down is a very sweet girl with rather romantic dreams and ideas.
| ..HollyWood.. |
Felicity 'Fel' Jones | 18 years old | Three |
Felicity Jones, who goes by Fel, is the youngest child of Gretchen and Oliver Jones. Fel’s mother is originally a Five who specialized in music. Her mother married her father after a lengthy courtship after her father graduated law school. In their marriage they produced four children: three boys and Fel. She was raised by her mother to love art, especially music; Fel had a violin in her hands by the time she could walk. From her father she learned the tricky art of politics of a workplace - she’s naturally gifted in reading people and striving to get ahead. Her family regards her as the perfect lawyer, as she is a very stoic person who sets goals and strives for them. While she has a very viscious ambitious streak, her joining the Selection wasn’t to try to battle her way up for a crown; no, it was to battle her way up to maybe finding a husband. When Fel isn’t striving to be the very best, to be the idol of the Jones family, she is actually quite sweet and ready to help those she honestly likes in any way she can, regardless if that means beating someone up or just being a shoulder to cry on. Growing up with four brothers she says made her naturally ‘tough’ in a sense that she’s always optimistic and tries to see the best in people. Fel stands at five feet nine inches without shoes. She has shoulder-length chestnut hair and blue-hazel eyes, which she says is her best feature. She is very light skinned from her mother’s roots.
| Redawn |
Giselle Elizabeth Harper | 18 years old | Two |
Giselle has what most people would call "obvious beauty". She has long hair that reaches down to her waist, and is has a brown to blonde ombre that looks expertly done. Her features are petite, with a small nose and big gray eyes that contrast her naturally dark hair. Her lips are full and her perfectly tanned skin is flawless. Of course, none of that is natural, with a fake tan and enough makeup to cover any blemish, but she doesn't let that stand in her way. You'll never see her without a good amount of makeup on and her hair styled. She's about medium height and thin, never eating more than what constitutes a salad at any meal. Giselle is an actress that is usually in commercials and the (very) occasional film. Her looks buy her more parts than her talent, and if she knows this she doesn't show it, even if she knows she's pretty. Giselle is very self confident, and is willing to make others feel small if it means putting them in their place. Her mother and father spoil her to no ends, as she is an only child to an extremely wealthy family. Her mother was a model and her father a singer, so her family name is very well known. The insecurity that she carries is buried by any self-confidence that the girl can fake, yet no one could ever tell, and she'll never show it. She is willing to fight for the crown (oh yeah, and the prince..) by any means possible. Watch out for this one folks, she has claws.
| Skyshadow952 |
Delaney Winters | 18 years old | Four |
Delaney is a tall girl with olive skin, long curly golden brown hair, and blue eyes. She stands at 5'10 and is a real estate agent. She may be young, but has been doing this job since she was 16, when she first passed the test. She lives alone since her parents have six smaller children at home and money is tight. Delaney is the third child of Gavin and Louise Winters. She is the second girl of two girls in the entire family. Delaney makes a bit of money doing what she does and sends the extra money she has home to her family, as does her two older siblings. She is an aunt; her eldest brother, child number one, is married and has two little girls. Delaney loves being an auntie and adores children. When she was a younger teenager, she worked as a nanny. Delaney works hard and saves her money. Delaney hopes to come out of this Selection with a husband, but she will be satisfied with just allowing her family back home not to starve. Delaney wishes to have a husband that will love her and support her through her various dreams and will always make her laugh; because Delaney is such a goofball. She is clumsy at times and enjoys laughing at herself, 'cause what is life without whimsy. She loves to smile and never seems to have a bad day. She is so laid back and easy-going that nothing ever gets to her. She hopes some of her silliness will rub off on the prince, because he could lighten up just a bit. ("That's an understatement." Is something Delaney would say to that.)

The Eliminated
Ellie Rodgers | 18 Years old | Six | Blubberywhales

Servants of the Palace
Jaden Rowan | 24 years old | Male | Six | Butler for the Princes |
Jaden is a tall man, standing at 6'2", and doesn't exactly have a small build. His hair is short but curly and has a red color. His eyes are a dark brown. Jade has worked at the palace most of his life, seeing his mother was a maid and his father was a cook. He grew up in the shadows, a bit too shy to talk to anyone, which was why his mother applied for him to become a butler, one that he would have to serve out in the view of the people in the palace. Now that he was pushed out of his comfort zone, Jaden turned out to be surprisingly funny and charismatic, and continues to be that way today, but will fade back into his shyness if not given a push now and then. He is extremely proud to be serving a member of the royal family, and is excited to see who the Selection might bring in.
| Skyshadow952 |
Joshua Riggs | 18 years old | Male | Six |Attendant to the prince |
Joshua is around 5'11" and has blonde, shaggy hair. As an attendant he is like a guard and servant of the prince. He has striking blue eyes and a toned body. He is quite handsome, but most say not as handsome as the prince (duh). He is the strong silent type and doesn't usually talk much unless it is someone he can connect with. He often wears a handgun on his side or if at an important event he will carry larger firearms
| blubberywhales |
Roberta Gascon | 20 years old | Female | Six | Maid |
Roberta stands at just under 5'4" with an athletic, light frame. Her dark brown hair, which is thick and wavy when loose, is often pulled back into a tight bun so as not to get in her way while she works. Her dark brown eyes are warm and inviting, with a bright smile that stands out against her tan skin. Quiet and observant, Roberta appears to be a very gentle, meek person. She does her job with calm, quiet efficiency and is genuinely invested in doing her job well and keeping everything running smoothly. While she does have a bit more fire than one might initially think, she generally lets others take charge and tries to avoid and de-escalate conflict as best she can. But she will not tolerate any sort of disrespect towards her employers and, while she may not act against someone right away, Roberta can quietly hold a grudge for an incredibly long time and her loyalty isn't easily regained once lost. But to have her loyalty means that you have someone willing to do nearly anything to make life as easy and comfortable as possible.| Her mother worked as a cook in the palace, which is what Roberta would like to do someday. She practically grew up on the palace grounds and has been working here ever since she was old enough. She doesn't leave the grounds fairly often and has rarely been more than a few hours from the palace.
| Amberice |
Juliette Dubois | 24 years old | Female | Six | Royal Guard |
At 5'11 with evident muscles and cold, brown eyes- a pretty spooky air to her -she could be described as intimidating. Her hair is dark brown with natural highlights of varying shades of brown, short and naturally wavy/curly, ending at her jaw. She also has bangs. Juliette is covered in scars, ugly looking and in long strips at the "backs" of her limbs and down her spine, with a particularly nasty patch of scar tissue on her left cheek, beginning at the corner of her lips and stretching up her cheekbone. Her faceclaim is Olivia Merilahti. She tends to wear the usual garb of the royal guards, although a little on the lighter side of things. She says she's tough enough to endure the brunt of some force, preferring to keep most of her movement or without being weighed down too much. Juliette, as stated before, has a pretty scary atmosphere about her. Her expression hardly changes from its usual calm, besides the vague movement of her eyebrows, which tend to be the easiest way to figure out her internal monologuing. She has a quiet voice but a sharp tongue in the sense of her deadpan, sarcastic (often morbid) humor. The word "edgy" comes to mind. Her motives seem to be solely selfish, only loyal to the royal family so long as it benefits her. This means she has no qualms with breaking the rules. Not to mention her strange fascination with death and killing, and protecting the oft targeted family means she actually gets to participate in such an activity. She's not all doom and gloom though. Surely, somewhere deep down, she genuinely cares for people, right? Seemingly, it takes her a good amount of time before she genuinely feels emotions towards a person, keeping her feelings under wraps pretty well. She is, as far as Juliette is concerned, an orphan, who formerly worked as a mercenary before somehow landing herself a job as a royal guard. Thank god she's real good at it.

Gil Davenport | 20 years old | Male | Two | Guard / Attendant to the younger prince |
Gil stands at six feet, two inches with a close-cut brown hair and calculating dark blue eyes that come off as brown until you look directly in his eyes. Gil constantly wears a stoic face that makes him constantly look bored. Gil grew up in the palace to a guard family, two years older than the oldest prince, Prince Alexander, so Gil left the palace on his eighteenth birthday. He was stationed back into the palace due to his family name, since almost every Davenport in his family has worked in the palace. Upon his new stationing, the Queen and King - knowing the boy's friendship with their oldest son - let him work with the royal family, becoming Prince's Andrew's unofficial-official attendant, since Andrew already has one; Gil's true position in the palace is a regular palace guard. Gil also grew up in an intimate setting with the royals - his father was the Queen's head guard, so after Gil's mother's death, he spent drastic amounts of time with the royals in private. He's considered Prince Andrew's best friend and a close friend of Alexander's, even if the boys aren't exceptionally close. Since Gil spent his childhood around the royal family and in the palace, he has a range of emotions. In private and with those he's comfortable with, he comes off as a happy-go-lucky twenty-year-old with a mischievous streak, but gets most of that mischievery out with Prince Andrew, since when the younger prince goes out to the pool, no matter which one, Gil's in there next to him training with the boy. Around those in a professional setting, Gil comes off as a confusing mix of cockiness and being reserved.
| Redawn |
Soren Dehl | 19 | Male | Six | Butler |
Soren is average height, about 5'11", and has a lean build. He has a tan complexion with short chestnut brown hair spiked up in the front. His eyes are wide and blue. Overall, his appearance seems a bit feminine, especially with his round face. He is super clumsy, and has the scars to prove it, most noticeably four vertical burn marks on his left cheek from tripping and falling on a hot stove. He is very shy and awkward, but tries to be polite and formal. He has trouble maintaining eye-contact, especially with strangers and people higher on the Casts than him (which is basically everyone). He also has a tendency to get anxious about everything, and he cries easily. He can also be a huge Drama King. Despite his faults, he tries to be a good butler and obeys orders readily. Once he feels comfortable with someone, he turns into a different person and is always smiling and cracking jokes. He prefers the company of animals to people, and is scared of cats and water. He has a crush on Prince Alexander, though he will never tell
| Falchion |
Thomason Hostler | 20 | Male | Seven | Stablehand |
Thomason is just shy of six feet tall and broad-shouldered. He is a very sturdy young man with obvious muscles in his arms and shoulders from working with the horses for years. He has thick auburn hair that falls almost to his shoulders and is usually tied back with a string and light brown eyes only a shade darker than the color of amber set in a diamond-shaped face. He rarely smiles, but then his smile is so wide it's hard not to notice. Thomason thinks deeply, angers easily, and works hard. He is not a fan of the caste system or even the monarchy, but he keeps his mouth shut (unless provoked) because a job a the palace pays better than any other job he might be able to find and it puts food on his family's table. He can't help dreaming big, but is beginning to get frustrated by the track his life is taking, especially since there is no good way onto a new one. Thomason's twin brother, Tavish, also works at the palace as a stable hand.

2. There is no timeline for the Selection — it can last from days to years.
3. The contestant cannot arrange her times with the prince. If in a large social setting, this rule does not apply.
4. The contestant cannot fight or sabotage other participants. If the contestant is found laying her hands on another contestant, causing her stress, stealing from her, or doing anything that might diminish her personal relationship with the prince, the prince will decide whether to dismiss her or not.
5. The contestant can only have a romantic relationship with the prince. If the contestant is caught in a relationship with someone else, it is considered treason and punishable by death.
6. If the contestant is found breaking any of Illéa's written laws, her punishment will be tied to that offense.
7. The contestant cannot eat food or wear any clothes not provided to her by the palace.
8. The contestant must be courteous to photographers, and allow them to see her lifestyle with the prince.
9. For each week the contestant stays at the palace, her family will be compensated.
10. If the contestant is no longer in the Selection, she will have an aide to help her adjust to her new life after the Selection. Her aide will help the contestant find new housing and employment.
11. If the contestant makes it to the top three, she is considered as an Elite, and will be required to learn about particular inner workings of the life and obligations she would have as a princess. Until then, the contestant is not permitted to seek out such information.
12. The contestant's caste number is automatically raised to a Three, unless she was already a Three prior to being Selected. Her family's caste remains the same. If the contestant was already a Two prior to the Selection, her and her family's status will remain the same.
13. If the contestant wins the Selection, she and her family will become Ones and members of the royal family. The contestant will also marry the prince and become the crowned princess of Illéa, taking on all the rights and responsibilities of the title.
The Castes
Illéa is broken up into Castes. Castes determine your profession, where you live, and how wealthy you are. You are born into your caste and you must abide by your caste's rulings. You can, however, buy your way up a caste, which is expensive and only done if you have more than enough money for food, electricity, a house, etc.. You can also marry your way up or down a caste.
One
Ones are royalty. This is a position of power and at the very top of the caste system. Upon winning the Selection, a girl will become a One.
Two
Celebrities; including athletes, singers, actors/actresses, models, politicians, police officers, firefighters, guards, and military members. Twos have a lot of money and are known to be snobby and beautifiers.
Three
Brilliant minds; including inventors, teachers, philosophers, scientists, doctors, veterinarians, dentists, architects, librarians, engineers, therapists/psychologists, film directors, music producers, lawyers, and writers. They have money and do not have to worry about starving. *Those who are Selected immediately become a Three if their caste was previously lower.*
Four
Businessmen, jewelers, real estate agents, insurance brokers, head chefs, construction managers, property/business owners, factory workers, and farmers. Life is a bit harder as it requires more work, and money isn't as easy to come by.
Five
Artists and Performers; including stage actors, classical musicians, singers, dancers, photographers and circus performers. Fives are not famous performers like Twos, but if they are noticed and begin to make money, they can buy their way up. Life is becoming harder, and food is rarer still to come by. Fives have been known to sacrifice electricity in their home to have enough money to buy food.
Six
Workers; including secretaries, waiters/waitresses, housekeepers, seamstresses, store clerks, cooks, and drivers. They are known to have less money and live harder lives than even Fives. The servants (such as maids, cooks, and butlers) in the palace are all Sixes.
Seven
Manual Laborers; including gardeners, construction workers, farm hands, gutter/pool cleaners, trash collectors, ditch diggers, and movers. Sevens are very similar to Sixes, but they have outdoor jobs instead. *None of the Selected are Sevens*
Eights
"Untouchables"; including mentally/physically unwell people, addicts, runaways, illegitimates, traitors, and the homeless. *None of the Selected are Eights*
Now that you know the ways of Illéa and the Selection... Will you apply?
Rules
The main outlines and ideas for this role-play are based off of The Selection series written by Kiera Cass. If you haven't read them, I strongly recommend the series; they're amazing books!
Here are a few rules you have to read before you decide to join-
I. Follow all Forum and Ghost rules: Even with the new forums, those old rules still apply! Thanks!
II. Be active: For higher roles (such as royals, or the Elite later on) please try and be on at least twice or three times a week, and more than just dropping by to say hello. It makes it hard to keep this role-play going otherwise! Put "Eadlyn" in your 'other' section so I know you read the rules. You will be deleted after two weeks of inactivity. Please tell me if you're going out of town or won't be able to be on for a long period of time, and I'll happily excuse you.
III. Be literate: Okay, I'm not asking for a book here, but please try to stay away from one-liners! They make the plot very dry, and there is usually more to talk about. Please no "text talk", and keep your writing in third person so we can keep this consistent Also, please try to use correct spelling and grammar as well as using (),[],{} when not role-playing.
IV. Language: Mild language is allowed, seeing that there are a bunch of teenage girls fighting over one boy, there is bound to be some drama. But please, let's keep it to a PG-13 level.
V. No perfect characters/keep to your own characters: Everyone has flaws, and perfect characters aren't as fun to RP as they don't have as much personality and personal challenges. Also, do not RP another's characters without permission.
VI. Be kind: Please don't make this an uncomfortable place for everyone else by being rude. We all need to respect each other in every way, please. If I find that you're acting in an inappropriate way, I'll give you one warning before deleting you. Also, LGBTQ+ characters are allowed, so make sure that you're okay with that before you decide to join.
VII. All big plot points (An elimination, death, chosing of the One, etc.) must be approved by me or a Mod: Just to keep things in order! I currently have no mods, but once the RPing gets going, I'll ask a few people if they would be up for it.
VIII. Have fun

Royals
His Majesty King Charles Schreve |42 years old | One |
King Charles is tall and broad-shouldered with intelligent dark brown eyes. His thick, brown hair is now peppered with gray, but luckily is not thinning much yet. He has prominent cheekbones and a strong, square chin, but is in the habit of frowning more often than smiling. Charles is a very business-like and sensible man. He always prefers to get straight to the point of a matter and has strong opinions, although he will listen to all sides of an issue before making a decision. He has very high standards for himself and all those around him, especially Alexander, because their country deserves the best and the best is what they shall get. Katherine is good for him; her giddiness is a contrast to his typically brusque personality, but she makes him smile. He always does his best to put his kingdom first.
| ..HollyWood.. |
Her Majesty Queen Katherine Schreve | 41 years old | One |
Queen Katherine is beautiful, that would be the only real way to describe her. She has long, dark brown hair that shines with a beautiful red tint in the sunlight, and it is always combed to perfection. Her complexion is a light tan, with stunning blue eyes that contrast her otherwise darker features. She's about medium height at around 5'8", and is lean and very proper in every way, with nails always painted a light pink and always wearing a jeweled necklace that matches her crown. Her Majesty is very energetic, always needing to put her opinion in, even if that might make her advisors unhappy. She is proper when she needs to be, which is how the country sees her, but when there are no cameras, she is as peppy as a 15 year old girl. She loves her children and her husband with all that she has, more than her position as queen.
|Skyshdow952|
His Royal Highness Prince Andrew Schreve | 18 years old | One |
Being preceded by his sister, Princess Charlotte, a whopping fifty minutes older, Crown Prince Andrew Schreave is First in line for the Illean throne. Because of this, Andrew is one of the most, if not the most, protected person on Illean soil. Between being put into cabinet meetings by the ripe age of six and being isolated from most of the country, Andrew matured very early on. The prince - nicknamed Andy by only his family and staff that's been with him since childhood - has a level head in most situations and is very businesslike, like his father, King Charles. Andy is aloof, sarcastic, and biting - mostly just because of his childhood, as his earliest memories are calculating Twos in suits around long tables arguing about mundane things that would only be argued about in government work. On the Report, and to most strangers, the stench of royalty and strong leadership rolls off of him in waves. He's presumed, very wrongly, to have a mean, sarcastic humor, but that is not true. In private, to his family and closest workers and friends, Andy's truly a joy to be around. Though he is aloof, once he let his guard down for a moment, one can truly tell he's quick with a classic one-liner and an almost contagious laugh. Even though Andy's correct title is Crown Prince Andrew, His Royal Highness, or the Crown Prince, Illean - and worldwide - media has dubbed him "Baby Prince" although now the nickname could not be more out of place with him. Andy is tall, past the six foot mark, broad-shouldered, and sharp-featured with dark blue eyes that have always been hard to read. That paired with his raven-black hair makes him a far cry from a "baby", but the media dubbed him that and it stuck for him.

Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Schreve | 18 years old | One |
Charlotte, in a sense, is a lot like her mother when it comes to looks. She has brown hair which is cut short, but her eyes are that of her father. She likes to spend a lot of time outside so she has a nice tan and she is fit even though she is required to stay in a lot. Unlike her mother she is less than proper, but when push comes to shove she can be bribed into acting like she is. That can be done with anything sweet. Charlotte enjoys riding horses and avoiding most responsibilities. If she isn't outside or on a horse she can be found in the library. She may seem very friendly and approachable but she had a mouth on her that any sailor would be proud of, though of course she watched it around people of importance.

The Selected
Quinn McLeery | 17 years old | Four |
Quinn was born into a family of farmers, who mostly farmed corn and soy. She's taller, about 5'9", and is athletic due to the hard work on the farm for all of those years growing up. Her hair goes down to her shoulders and is a dark blonde, and her eyes are green. She would be pale if it weren't for her out in the sun working all day, which has given her a darker tan, that cover the freckles that dance across her nose, something she's always been conscious about. She signed up for the Selection in hope to possibly find a better life, one that she could support her family, and maybe find love in the process. Quinn is a hopeless romantic, never really being in a serious relationship prior to the Selection, and hopes to find that gooey love that you see on TV. Other than that, she's kind and light-hearted, liking to make jokes and be friends with everyone. She has two little brothers and an older brother, being the only girl in her family besides her mother. She surprisingly loves anything to do with cosmetics; probably due to not having much access to it growing up. Hair, makeup, she loves doing all of it, when she can. She of course doesn't go overboard, but likes the way that it can bring out certain features. Back home, makeup and hair styling was only for special occasions, such as a school dance, or a wedding, but now at the palace, she gets that kind of treatment everyday. This doesn't mean she doesn't miss it at home, however.

Florence Dubois | 17 years old| Three |
Florence is a petite girl with long, wavy, blonde hair. She has icy blue eyes and a slight tan. Being a three, Florence is well educated, with very smart parents who are both lawyers. Despite the fact that her parents work is in law Florence takes more interest in teaching and health. Florence does volunteer work at primary schools in the science departments. She is smart but can be very, very stubborn. Florence likes to get her way and can be argumentative when people disagree with her. She believes that she always has the right opinion so when people have altering opinions it can easily frustrate her. She is a kind person even though she is argumentative and stubborn. She volenteers at the poorer primary schools to try to give lower castes educations. Her family consists of three people including her and she is an only child, probably what makes her like to get her way more. Her parents are often busy with work and she is left on her own fairly often.
OPEN TO CLAIM
Abigail Andrews | 18 years old | Three |
UP TO CLAIM!!
Hazel Dawn Davenport | 17 years old | Five |
Hazel is a happy, spirited girl who stand around five and a half feet tall. She has curly dark brown hair, hazel-green eyes, a straight nose that turns up just lightly at the tip, and rosy lips. Her eyebrows arch slightly as if she is always slightly amused by or skeptical of what she is seeing. Hazel is an artist, and loves looking for pretty things to sketch or paint; taking the time to sit still and find beauty in the ordinary tends to be a good coping method for her when she is stressed, and she would much rather look for the good in things anyhow. She loves color, and even on the rare occasions when her skin and clothes are not covered in paint, she tends to dress colorfully for no other reason than it makes her smile. Optimistic though she might be, however, Hazel is not by any means shy, and she can tend to be outspoken or stubborn. Overall, she just wants to enjoy life and find ways to be happy. She spent enough time being unhappy when her only sibling, a younger sister named Violet, was put in a wheelchair due to an accident about five years ago. Hazel signed up for the Selection because it sounded like an adventure, and no adventure seems greater than falling in love—even if the prince does seem exhaustingly stern. Maybe she could show him how to have fun.
| ..HollyWood.. |
Ela Delahay | 17 years old | Five |
Ela is a pretty young lady. She has medium length chocaltey brown hair that goes just past her shoulderblades. Her skin is barely tanned and her eyes are a glittering blue color. She stands at about 5 feet 6 inches tall and has a slim figure as a result of living in a less-wealthy family with little food and many siblings to feed. Ela is a sweet and innocent girl who always tries to find beauty in everything. She absolutely adores nature and will almost always be found outside tending to a garden or picking wildflowers to give away to people.

OPEN TO CLAIM
Crystal Helena Bennett | 19 years old | Two |
Crystal is a tall girl and very curvy, almost to the point of appearing overweight. She has a beautiful heart-shaped face with white teeth, full lips, and large sky-blue eyes and long lashes. Her hair is long and black and just too wavy to be called straight. Though Crystal cuts a stunning figure, she is painfully shy, and tries very hard not to stand out. She is the daughter of famous jazz singer Edmund Bennett and cosmetic designer Helena Bennett, for whose products Crystal once modeled, though she was too embarrassed to continue. Crystal’s secret dream is to be a pianist, and she does have the skill and she would have the stage presence, but her stage fright gets in the way. She has confidence issues, perhaps from growing up in the shadow of her parents and two talented (and confident) older brothers, but deep down is a very sweet girl with rather romantic dreams and ideas.
| ..HollyWood.. |
Felicity 'Fel' Jones | 18 years old | Three |
Felicity Jones, who goes by Fel, is the youngest child of Gretchen and Oliver Jones. Fel’s mother is originally a Five who specialized in music. Her mother married her father after a lengthy courtship after her father graduated law school. In their marriage they produced four children: three boys and Fel. She was raised by her mother to love art, especially music; Fel had a violin in her hands by the time she could walk. From her father she learned the tricky art of politics of a workplace - she’s naturally gifted in reading people and striving to get ahead. Her family regards her as the perfect lawyer, as she is a very stoic person who sets goals and strives for them. While she has a very viscious ambitious streak, her joining the Selection wasn’t to try to battle her way up for a crown; no, it was to battle her way up to maybe finding a husband. When Fel isn’t striving to be the very best, to be the idol of the Jones family, she is actually quite sweet and ready to help those she honestly likes in any way she can, regardless if that means beating someone up or just being a shoulder to cry on. Growing up with four brothers she says made her naturally ‘tough’ in a sense that she’s always optimistic and tries to see the best in people. Fel stands at five feet nine inches without shoes. She has shoulder-length chestnut hair and blue-hazel eyes, which she says is her best feature. She is very light skinned from her mother’s roots.
| Redawn |
Giselle Elizabeth Harper | 18 years old | Two |
Giselle has what most people would call "obvious beauty". She has long hair that reaches down to her waist, and is has a brown to blonde ombre that looks expertly done. Her features are petite, with a small nose and big gray eyes that contrast her naturally dark hair. Her lips are full and her perfectly tanned skin is flawless. Of course, none of that is natural, with a fake tan and enough makeup to cover any blemish, but she doesn't let that stand in her way. You'll never see her without a good amount of makeup on and her hair styled. She's about medium height and thin, never eating more than what constitutes a salad at any meal. Giselle is an actress that is usually in commercials and the (very) occasional film. Her looks buy her more parts than her talent, and if she knows this she doesn't show it, even if she knows she's pretty. Giselle is very self confident, and is willing to make others feel small if it means putting them in their place. Her mother and father spoil her to no ends, as she is an only child to an extremely wealthy family. Her mother was a model and her father a singer, so her family name is very well known. The insecurity that she carries is buried by any self-confidence that the girl can fake, yet no one could ever tell, and she'll never show it. She is willing to fight for the crown (oh yeah, and the prince..) by any means possible. Watch out for this one folks, she has claws.

Delaney Winters | 18 years old | Four |
Delaney is a tall girl with olive skin, long curly golden brown hair, and blue eyes. She stands at 5'10 and is a real estate agent. She may be young, but has been doing this job since she was 16, when she first passed the test. She lives alone since her parents have six smaller children at home and money is tight. Delaney is the third child of Gavin and Louise Winters. She is the second girl of two girls in the entire family. Delaney makes a bit of money doing what she does and sends the extra money she has home to her family, as does her two older siblings. She is an aunt; her eldest brother, child number one, is married and has two little girls. Delaney loves being an auntie and adores children. When she was a younger teenager, she worked as a nanny. Delaney works hard and saves her money. Delaney hopes to come out of this Selection with a husband, but she will be satisfied with just allowing her family back home not to starve. Delaney wishes to have a husband that will love her and support her through her various dreams and will always make her laugh; because Delaney is such a goofball. She is clumsy at times and enjoys laughing at herself, 'cause what is life without whimsy. She loves to smile and never seems to have a bad day. She is so laid back and easy-going that nothing ever gets to her. She hopes some of her silliness will rub off on the prince, because he could lighten up just a bit. ("That's an understatement." Is something Delaney would say to that.)

Servants of the Palace
Jaden Rowan | 24 years old | Male | Six | Butler for the Princes |
Jaden is a tall man, standing at 6'2", and doesn't exactly have a small build. His hair is short but curly and has a red color. His eyes are a dark brown. Jade has worked at the palace most of his life, seeing his mother was a maid and his father was a cook. He grew up in the shadows, a bit too shy to talk to anyone, which was why his mother applied for him to become a butler, one that he would have to serve out in the view of the people in the palace. Now that he was pushed out of his comfort zone, Jaden turned out to be surprisingly funny and charismatic, and continues to be that way today, but will fade back into his shyness if not given a push now and then. He is extremely proud to be serving a member of the royal family, and is excited to see who the Selection might bring in.
| Skyshadow952 |
Joshua Riggs | 18 years old | Male | Six |Attendant to the prince |
Joshua is around 5'11" and has blonde, shaggy hair. As an attendant he is like a guard and servant of the prince. He has striking blue eyes and a toned body. He is quite handsome, but most say not as handsome as the prince (duh). He is the strong silent type and doesn't usually talk much unless it is someone he can connect with. He often wears a handgun on his side or if at an important event he will carry larger firearms
| blubberywhales |
Roberta Gascon | 20 years old | Female | Six | Maid |
Roberta stands at just under 5'4" with an athletic, light frame. Her dark brown hair, which is thick and wavy when loose, is often pulled back into a tight bun so as not to get in her way while she works. Her dark brown eyes are warm and inviting, with a bright smile that stands out against her tan skin. Quiet and observant, Roberta appears to be a very gentle, meek person. She does her job with calm, quiet efficiency and is genuinely invested in doing her job well and keeping everything running smoothly. While she does have a bit more fire than one might initially think, she generally lets others take charge and tries to avoid and de-escalate conflict as best she can. But she will not tolerate any sort of disrespect towards her employers and, while she may not act against someone right away, Roberta can quietly hold a grudge for an incredibly long time and her loyalty isn't easily regained once lost. But to have her loyalty means that you have someone willing to do nearly anything to make life as easy and comfortable as possible.| Her mother worked as a cook in the palace, which is what Roberta would like to do someday. She practically grew up on the palace grounds and has been working here ever since she was old enough. She doesn't leave the grounds fairly often and has rarely been more than a few hours from the palace.
| Amberice |
Juliette Dubois | 24 years old | Female | Six | Royal Guard |
At 5'11 with evident muscles and cold, brown eyes- a pretty spooky air to her -she could be described as intimidating. Her hair is dark brown with natural highlights of varying shades of brown, short and naturally wavy/curly, ending at her jaw. She also has bangs. Juliette is covered in scars, ugly looking and in long strips at the "backs" of her limbs and down her spine, with a particularly nasty patch of scar tissue on her left cheek, beginning at the corner of her lips and stretching up her cheekbone. Her faceclaim is Olivia Merilahti. She tends to wear the usual garb of the royal guards, although a little on the lighter side of things. She says she's tough enough to endure the brunt of some force, preferring to keep most of her movement or without being weighed down too much. Juliette, as stated before, has a pretty scary atmosphere about her. Her expression hardly changes from its usual calm, besides the vague movement of her eyebrows, which tend to be the easiest way to figure out her internal monologuing. She has a quiet voice but a sharp tongue in the sense of her deadpan, sarcastic (often morbid) humor. The word "edgy" comes to mind. Her motives seem to be solely selfish, only loyal to the royal family so long as it benefits her. This means she has no qualms with breaking the rules. Not to mention her strange fascination with death and killing, and protecting the oft targeted family means she actually gets to participate in such an activity. She's not all doom and gloom though. Surely, somewhere deep down, she genuinely cares for people, right? Seemingly, it takes her a good amount of time before she genuinely feels emotions towards a person, keeping her feelings under wraps pretty well. She is, as far as Juliette is concerned, an orphan, who formerly worked as a mercenary before somehow landing herself a job as a royal guard. Thank god she's real good at it.

Gil Davenport | 20 years old | Male | Two | Guard / Attendant to the younger prince |
Gil stands at six feet, two inches with a close-cut brown hair and calculating dark blue eyes that come off as brown until you look directly in his eyes. Gil constantly wears a stoic face that makes him constantly look bored. Gil grew up in the palace to a guard family, two years older than the oldest prince, Prince Alexander, so Gil left the palace on his eighteenth birthday. He was stationed back into the palace due to his family name, since almost every Davenport in his family has worked in the palace. Upon his new stationing, the Queen and King - knowing the boy's friendship with their oldest son - let him work with the royal family, becoming Prince's Andrew's unofficial-official attendant, since Andrew already has one; Gil's true position in the palace is a regular palace guard. Gil also grew up in an intimate setting with the royals - his father was the Queen's head guard, so after Gil's mother's death, he spent drastic amounts of time with the royals in private. He's considered Prince Andrew's best friend and a close friend of Alexander's, even if the boys aren't exceptionally close. Since Gil spent his childhood around the royal family and in the palace, he has a range of emotions. In private and with those he's comfortable with, he comes off as a happy-go-lucky twenty-year-old with a mischievous streak, but gets most of that mischievery out with Prince Andrew, since when the younger prince goes out to the pool, no matter which one, Gil's in there next to him training with the boy. Around those in a professional setting, Gil comes off as a confusing mix of cockiness and being reserved.
| Redawn |
Soren Dehl | 19 | Male | Six | Butler |
Soren is average height, about 5'11", and has a lean build. He has a tan complexion with short chestnut brown hair spiked up in the front. His eyes are wide and blue. Overall, his appearance seems a bit feminine, especially with his round face. He is super clumsy, and has the scars to prove it, most noticeably four vertical burn marks on his left cheek from tripping and falling on a hot stove. He is very shy and awkward, but tries to be polite and formal. He has trouble maintaining eye-contact, especially with strangers and people higher on the Casts than him (which is basically everyone). He also has a tendency to get anxious about everything, and he cries easily. He can also be a huge Drama King. Despite his faults, he tries to be a good butler and obeys orders readily. Once he feels comfortable with someone, he turns into a different person and is always smiling and cracking jokes. He prefers the company of animals to people, and is scared of cats and water. He has a crush on Prince Alexander, though he will never tell
| Falchion |
Thomason Hostler | 20 | Male | Seven | Stablehand |
Thomason is just shy of six feet tall and broad-shouldered. He is a very sturdy young man with obvious muscles in his arms and shoulders from working with the horses for years. He has thick auburn hair that falls almost to his shoulders and is usually tied back with a string and light brown eyes only a shade darker than the color of amber set in a diamond-shaped face. He rarely smiles, but then his smile is so wide it's hard not to notice. Thomason thinks deeply, angers easily, and works hard. He is not a fan of the caste system or even the monarchy, but he keeps his mouth shut (unless provoked) because a job a the palace pays better than any other job he might be able to find and it puts food on his family's table. He can't help dreaming big, but is beginning to get frustrated by the track his life is taking, especially since there is no good way onto a new one. Thomason's twin brother, Tavish, also works at the palace as a stable hand.
