This will be like your typical royal congrats, but with a twist--all families are part of one Kingdom/Country, i.e, one person's family will be the king and Queen, others will be members of the nobility, you can even be merchants and peasants if you like. A plotline started by me and fleshed out by you will interconnect all of the families--admittedly, I'm not sure exactly how this is going to work out, but I'm excited to find out. Do not join this congrats if you are not willing to write at least a paragraph for every round. This is for us writers: extremely character-driven, and hopefully, extremely fun :-D
A few guidelines:
1. First come first serve. There can be only one King and Queen (I'm leaving that open to whoever claims it first), but otherwise, your family's rank is up to you.
2. I'm limiting this to
ten people only, just so I can keep up with all of the characters and plotlines.
3. You don't have to start with the traditional male-female couple--you can if you want to, but I'm open to non-traditional families as long as it's realistic for the general medieval setting.
For your sign-up, please list all members of your family and any details that you see fit. I'll start with mine:
Earl: Lord Bartholomew Thomas Xavier of Cartwright (46)
-D/S: Lady Guinevere Beatrix Christiana/Lord Geoffrey Richard Francis (16)
Lord Bartholomew is an aging knight--brave and noble, he is loyal to the king and was rewarded with his title in his youth. His beloved wife died giving birth to twins Guinevere and Geoffrey; he has raised them himself in his decaying castle without remarrying. He dotes upon his children, especially Guinevere, and believes in marriage for love.
