HelpBritt's Rival Empires Congrats Sign-Up
Rival Empires Congrats
I decided to try something a little different for my new congrats. There will be two empires, complete with enough far-flung colonies and foreign diplomats to satisfy the most diverse naming tastes. These two empires will be rivals, sometimes friendly and sometimes not (think France and England during). There will be two royal couples, and the first people to claim them will get them (I won’t claim one unless no one else does, as that is unfair). At the beginning of each round I will post a VERY brief prompt, something like a treaty is being talked of or war has broken out or a new colony has been gained, and in your story you can tell how this has affected your family. Thus stories are greatly encouraged, but not required. In your post make it clear which empire you are part of. The first person posting as a native of somewhere sets the general naming language for that place (though you can branch out a little; i.e. Katarina or Marius in a mainly-English empire). The first to be from a colony may name it, and others may choose to be from that colony as well. I STRONGLY SUGGEST you read all other signups before you choose your homeland or category. All but poor commoners, nobles, and royal families may be foreign-born. Any noble or commoner may be in the military. The categories you may choose from are:
Royal Family of Ardelus, head of the Ardelusian Empire
Royal Family of Kriana, head of the Krianan Empire
Noble family, Ardelusian or Krianan. Ladies-in-waiting, knights, family of the rulers, and such will be in this category.
Foreign diplomatic family, from anywhere, not only one of the two empires or colonies.
Influential common family, i.e. politician or philosopher.
Well-to-do common family, i.e. a merchant or prosperous farmer.
Poor common family, i.e. peasant or beggar or poor craftsman
Colonial family, anything from former nobility to the poorest commoner. Can use any language you want.
Palace staff family, anything from personal secretaries and stewards to kitchen maids and gardners.
Think Tudor/Elizabethan era for the feel of this game. Not necessarily English, just a mid-1500s to early-1600s type of world. Use this to inspire the names you choose, wherever they are from. I would suggest starting European for at least one empire and then branching out to more exotic places for the colonies, though this is not at all necessary. Let’s see how this works. Any type of couple goes, even adulterous, same-sex, or polyamorous. These can be an open secret (i.e. everyone knows but no one openly confronts) or totally secret, but a spouse must be implemented at some point fairly early in the game, if only as a cover. Children from previous marraiges/relationships are allowed, but only three max within a couple as they will have several children together.
Hope I’ve explained everything well enough that this works. Middle names and last names required, with royalty having at least two middle names. Any questions, feel free to ask. So, without further ado…

Rosalie used to be a poor street performer, a dancer, in the city of Jaquard, the largest city of Ardelus. She was supporting herself, her widowed invalid mother, and her four younger sisters with the money people would throw into her tambourine at the end of her performances. At one performance, a young many her age, dressed like a merchant's son, stayed and watched her for hours. This was Gabriel. He was the son of a former palace clerk who had joined politics, and he was captivated by this beautiful girl. The movements of her slim body and the daring acrobatics she performed were one thing, but more interesting to him was the spirit and intelligence that crackled in her wide blue eyes, the mysterious smile playing at her rosy mouth, and the knowing allure in the way she swung her long black curls. He felt as if she were performing straight for him, which after a while she was. Rosalie thought this gentleman--for such she supposed him--to be very handsome, with tawny-auburn hair and light crystal-blue eyes and his lean but well-formed figure, and she liked that his stares were not leers like she often got. He began to come watch her every afternoon, and eventually the two began to talk, then to fall in love. Gabriel and Rosalie married shortly after her seventeenth birthday, taking in Rosalie's mother and sisters.

Ayelet comes from an influential Learsian family. Learsi is a democratic republic (much like modern countries) that wants peace. Ayelet has always been one for this idea (of world peace) and so the ruler of Learsi, a close friend of her family's, decided to send her and her husband on a diplomatic mission to help ease peace into the region.
Dan is also Learsian. He comes from a common family, but in Learsi class doesn't really have a bearing on much. His father was a player and cheated on his mother plenty when they were married. His two oldest younger siblings are full blood and the little one is a half.

Just a comment...
I like how you often have older siblings raising or taking care of younger ones. It's not done a lot on this board and I think it's a good theme. It especially fits in the time period of this game when a lot of women didn't survive childbirth. Also the first round will be tomorrow, but the one after that won't be until Tuesday or so, so you'll have pleny of time to catch up. And where are your family diplomats to, Ardelus or Kriana?

Victor has made his way by power, charm and intelligence. He rarely talks about his past; he's not from a wealthy and influential family, but he has taken control of his situation and done the necessary to reach power and money. He married Magda because of her family - the Gordons have always been close to the royal family. Magda is totally blinded by Victor's charm and can't see that he is using her.
Victor is now a well-known politician and always striving for more power; he will do anything in the world to reach his goal. His plan is now to be the duke of a colony. Whenever a new colony shows up.

DH: Duke Prosper Rémy Augustin Cosme Delacroix, younger brother of the King (21)
DW: Duchess Apolline Mélisande Madeleine [nee Gentille] Delacroix, Lady of Queen Juliette's Chamber (19)
Prosper is the younger son of King Philippe and Queen Gisèle. As such he holds the traditional title of second sons of the king, Duke of Thealine. He, like his elder brother, has Delacroix wavy dark hair and bright blue eyes, though his brother has always been lauded as the handsomer of the two. He is intelligent and quick-witted. He and Thibault have been close since their childhood, and lives at Court where he often meets with his brother, the King. Prosper is well liked by the Ardelusian people, who still refer to him as Prince Prosper, though Duke is really more correct.
Prosper married Apolline Gentille, a member of the old nobility, very recently. The marriage was advantageous politically, securing the succession should anything happen to King Thibault, and not truly a love match. Apolline and Prosper have been acquainted since childhood, as her family was often at Court, and she has been a lady of the queen's household since the queen's marriage. Apolline's father is the marquis of Brinon, a very high ranking nobleman.

Yes in a nut shell, I dont know about removed from succession maybe between the three of us we can decide if there were other son's or just one that would allow him to keep Henry Gaston has an heir, but yes he recognized that he was his son and gave him lands and a title and married off his mistress out of love.

Loving this ladies!
So Thibault & Prosper's grandfather, King ???, had a mistress whom he loved very much named Caroline. With Caroline, he had 2 children, a son Henry, and a daughter ???. King ??? arranged a marriage for Caroline with a wealthy landowner, Duke Pierre Charles Beauxchamp, to ensure that his son & daughter would be raised as nobles even if they couldn't be given the title of prince & princess... So, King ??? is actually the grandfather of Thibault, Prosper & Maximilien, which would make Maximilien the cousin of Thibault & Prosper - a fact that they all well know and acknowledge in private... and any other family that people sign up!
As for the name of the King, perhaps one of Thibault's middle names is after his grandfather? So Benoît, Louis or Baptiste? So all the names are in there, how about King Benoît Henry Augustin Pierre?
I'm going to starting 'building' a family tree under my signup so we can keep the family straight starting with King ??? and working down...

Queen ???

Mistress Caroline
- Duike Henry Gaston
--- Duke Maximilien
- Daughter

Great! I am so looking forward to this!It will be great to see how it unfolds!

This looks great! I'm so excited! :)
The issue with Max's succession is that he would be quite far removed in blood because of his illegitimacy. King Benoit's son succeeded him and then Thibault succeeded him. Thibault's issue would be first in line, followed by his brother, Prosper. Next would like be their uncles and any nephews they have, etc.
So he probably COULD inherit in a major crisis, but there's a lot of people there. :)
I'm taking a history course on Tudor England at the moment so this is especially fun!

Both can be Ardelusian...(m)
If you would like to be Krianan that would be fine, but there's no limit to how many nobles or any category there can be. Except for the royals of course. But it's up to you.

Since you used English (and now I guess Krianan) names, I would suggest a diplomat to Ardelus.

DW1: Emma Prudence (Tyler) Craft
--DS1: John Believer Craft
DW2: Elizabeth Sarah (Nelson) Craft
Jonathan Craft, a young religious craftsman (hence the surname) grew up in a polyamorous family with two mothers, a father, and a lot of siblings. He always knew that he wanted his family to be the same way and when he met young Emma he couldn't be happier. He was so in love and almost forgot about his polyamorous feelings, until he met Elizabeth. The two girls were a little unsure in the beginning as they couldn't figure out how things would work. But Jonathan promised them that they would always be equal to him and he would always love them both to pieces.
So, they gave it a try. And so far things are going great. Emma just gave birth to the first baby in the family, a boy whom they named John! Some people would think that Elizabeth is jealous of Emma since she has John now, but that couldn't be farther from the truh. As they see it, John has two mothers and it doesn't matter who gave birth to him and who didn't.

Jonathan Craft, a young religious craftsman (hence the surname) grew up in a polyamorous family with two mothers, a father, and a lot of siblings. He always knew that he wanted his family to be the same way and when he met young Emma he couldn't be happier. He was so in love and almost forgot about his polyamorous feelings, until he met Elizabeth. The two girls were a little unsure in the beginning as they couldn't figure out how things would work. But Jonathan promised them that they would always be equal to him and he would always love them both to pieces.

You can add one more wife. I'd like to see this family explained, though, so a little backstory would be appreciated lol. Also, please list children underneath their mother, so I can keep it straight.

Maybe you can...
I'm horribly sporadic with my updates. Probably once or twice a week max. You don't have to write stories (although I love them!) and the naming rules won't be complicated. Give it a try and you can drop it if you can't keep up. I suggest a Krianan noble, we don't have many of those yet...
