I didn't but you could at least tell people that...I've been thinking you just wanted to be the head guy for whatever reason...

So are you like the 'rogue' prince that decided to forgo the comfy royal life in lieu of just kicking ass...

Cuz like IHMN said, only a prince would succeed the king...unless the princess gets married...

No no, he isn't a prince. Just some guy in armor with a title. If he is though, my guy would know it, so then he should tell me...

So then the only way he could be the next king is if he married the princess, which would piss of Raiden's guy something fierce.

Or if the king gets assassinated, but that doesn't neccessarily mean that he would be the king.

In fact, my guy would be king for a while(not really king, just be in charge) until a figure head could be placed...

Really...a cat...you...ah forget it, itd be martial law, unless the king has some princes lined up...or the princess (assuming we're going by a family rule)...

It's not cat is king, just would probably make decisions(Wouldn't last a day before things were sorted out). Queens usually don't have much rule...

Princess is captured at the moment...

And we still don't know if there are multiple captains, or if it's just Jad(But usually there are multiple)

Captain of the Royal Guard...such a specific title means there are more...maybe the captain with the longest title gets it...and I was saying the princess would take over after we got her back...unless he dies at the begining...

And as head of the Royal gaurd I'd be best placed for a coup de etat. Celes said last night to me that my character is more or less the most favoured person in the kingdom to wed the princess. Which would make him the next king. Also let's cut out the spam while Celes is entertaining her guests. She'll be back around 10.

edit: there would be a leader of each of the regiments of the kingdom and they would be a captain. The captain of the Royal guard typically in historical settings was bothe the most competent, and most trusted of them. Thus the highest ranking military officer below the king. Take for example the Praetorian gaurd of the Roman Empire. They were powerful enough they could depose emporers, and elect the next emporer.

So Captain of the Royal Guard = Secretary of Defense.

So is that a wedding of conveinence, or does the princess love your person?

Cuz if its just conveinence, then Raiden's guy still has a chance...or maybe he'd be weaned onto Celes' character since they look alike?

Just because raiden's guy motivation is the princess, that doesn't mean he automaticly marries the princess, or they fall in love or anything...

(For Jad's thing) more OR LESS

aww sounds like Puss 'n boots has a crush on the princess.

Right... Actually, I was pointing out how corny that would turn out...

But now that you said that, I'm going to now have a smart, flirtatious cat

*readies burlap sack* ok no more spam. We have enough. I don't want Jessa to come back and see fifteen pages of speculation. Next person to spam gets smited.

For next RP, if the creator had a converstion with someone else outside of these forums that have a lot to do with the RP and characters, the creator should mention that, and the person who is not the creator but was contacted should mention it and write a bit more in there character...

Ahh yes, 5 pages of spamming over a minor issue in an RP, just like old days...

From the sounds of Raiden's character, it doesn't sound like the princess would like him much.

I don't think anyone would accept a cat as a leader, no matter how important or wise it was.

Captain of the guard would suggest what Jad said, so he would be more likely a succesor to the crown than a strategist. You trust a strategist with a war, you trust the captain with your life. Just my two cents.

I wasn't here, so just throwing my opinion out there. *Readies swords* Now bring an the smiten, I'm no uppity cat with delusions of granduer...

And one last question, when is this looking to start?

She says after 10 if it stats today or early tommorrow.

Well, I'm fixing to be leaving here soon to go eat and do some Christmas shopping, so I'm not really sure of when I'll be back... hopefully before too late... its.... 7:11 pm my time now. So yeah.. hopefully we won't be gone all night.

*Raiden readies his swords.*

Alright, time to add my comments. And Jad, try to smite me, and you'll end up with a sword where the sun don't shine.

F. Zero- I've got no problems with you. You're cool.

IHMN- You're...a...cat. No matter how smart you are, people are going to be hesitant to listen to you. And also, if you decide to be flirtatious, please don't go overboard again, like you did in EVERY OTHER RP YOU AND CELES HAVE EVER BEEN IN TOGETHER!!!

JadGuy- Don't let IHMN get you so irritated. No matter what he says, Celes has a last word in everything. If she says you're the leader, then you're the leader. You don't need to explain anything.

Everybody else- I have no specific stuff to tell you guys. Other than I hope this is a fun RP.

Oh, and for Jadguy and IHMN, just so you guys know, my character is going to be the one that hates following plans, and will do what he feels like, even if it means putting his teammates in danger. He only cares about one person, the princess, and everyone else is expendable. Hehee. :D

I really dont like cats...why not a dog, everybody likes dogs? Meh...just me blabbering...

Are we gunna be starting out just meeting, on the way, just entering the castle?

*ahem* Yes i have talked to Jadguy, he helped me think up this RP (at least some of the details) And i trust him as the candidate for my knight captain, since I have the quickest/easiest communication with him.

His character is basically the leader for now, (note: for now) but you guys aren't slaves to what he says. If you think his idea sucks, then follow somebody else's plan. If you trust his judgement, then you can do what he says. He's just the so-called leader, he doesn't, like, own your souls.
But pushing away titles, you are all going to obviously work together to get through this, not one of you is going to lord over the others.
Obviously IHMN's character will be needed for strategy just as much as we need our warriors to carry out the plan. It all works out.


And not everyone likes dogs BM. If he was a dog, it would be a really small one. Big dogs scare me. ^^;
But we're all going to start out either in the castle, getting breifed on what your mission is, or just leaving the castle after you've been breifed. I want you all to start together, but if need be, because of the grounding problem with you BM, your character can come in later if you really think you need to.

Anyhoo. Thanks for keeping the arguing down. (it's a lot less than i see in some RPs)

Hmm...maybe I could just stumble in on the group during a battle or whatnot?

You don't like big dogs? I've grown up around them, so I guess I'm biased...small dogs remind me of furry cats, and I don't like cats...too smart for their own good...

That might work.

and I grew up with cats rather than dogs. ^^

But i'm gonna write the first post now. I'm not saying I'm starting the RP right now, but I'm just gonna write it up, for future use. Any other questions/complaints/Anyone wanna see me boiled in my own blood?

I prefer cats over dogs, althought I don't have a problem with big or small dogs. I think I would be less likely to listen to an intelligent dog than I would an intelligent cat.

I like dogs because they're so dependant and open...you open the door, they come rushing at you like you've been gone for a year. Everything you do to a dog it will appreciate, and it will never object to anything you do, cept for hitting it, which I don't condone. Basically, I like dogs cuz theyre dumb and dependant.

Cats though...and I know I'm making huge but semi-true generalizations...they don't appreciate you...they use you...your just a grand pawn in their feline games...

And in RP news...what was the final head count?

The final count is... 237...

No, theres about 11 people total I think. Large for an RP, but it should be fine.

Sorry, just realized I need to back out.

I'm meant to be here. Actually, CJ gave me the "go ahead" BOO YAKA!

Name: Ark
Age: 23
Weapons: His sword, and a dagger.
Appearance: Hair goes to his shoulders, but he has it tied back. Dark green coat, brown leather armour under it, sheaths on his belt.
Special Ability: He can pass through solid matter. Now before people complain about this, I'm going to point out it's FAR from perfect. He needs to focus enough to do it, and in the middle of a fight that isn't likely to happen. Also, it randomly happens at times. He'll be holding a cup, and his hand will phase, letting the cup fall through. This is a source of much frustration. His absolute strongest ability with it that pushes his mind to the limit is being able to do it to other matter. However, it's only 5 grams of matter he can do it to.
Why they are on the mission: After finding out about his "gift" people thought he was a wraith. Work runs a bit scarce when people think you're going to take their child.
Bio: Ark was originally the son of a noble. Unfortunately, he absolutely HATES that couped up life style, and so he snuck out one day. He ended up living with a ranger who taught him everything he knew. He went to the meeting originally to find out about his odd "phase" ability.
Personality: He's actually a very nice guy. A bit of a wise ass at times, but he has a strong sense of right and wrong.
Extra: n/a

okay, looks good everyone,

I was hoping to at least write up the opening post tonight. But my brain doesn't like to work at full capacity at midnight.. and I want the opening to be decent... so the RP will probably officially start tomorrow.

So i'm going to bed soon, and if anyone has nothing else to do, or if they were just kind enough. Could somebody make a list of all of the characters and their special abilities for reference? If somebody could do that... that would be awesome.

OK heres the character I was thinking of

combat knife (standard Futuristic Seal equipment)

apearance:6' 4" heavy set, Brown hair, grey eyes.

Why He's on the mission: He's lost and confused. Any company is better than none.

Bio:awarded a Purple Heart and a Legion of merit after he rescued three squad members from a wrecked transport. Was Honourably Discharged from the military for disobeying his CO in the aformentioned situation.

I know what your thinking "it sounds wierd" but give it a shot. Someone this well trained would do wonders for the mission.

isn't this a medieval RP?

maybe you want the kill-team sign up?

hmm ever heard of a rift in the space-time continuum?

Celes already said "No more people." Sorry, Tenjin, I guess you came a little too late...

*hides from the possible coming of the winged monkeys* Meep! o__o Call me outta hiding when it's safe anna RP starts! *hidehide*

oh well, such is life.

Join the kill-team RP! Your guy would fit in better there, IMO...

Raiden... You realize that was just Axioms right?

And obviously people don't want to follow a cat(Thats why I said he would be stuck in the castle while he works there), but in a small group filled with a bunch of random, there are going to be a lot of times where no one listens to the cat, then they get in trouble, but wouldn't have if listened.

And again, call him Bob, eyes clawed out.

*wonders if it would be bad to put a cat in a bag during the trip.*

How many deep rivers do we pass by?

just beat him in the bag.

I doubt you'ld be able to get a Lynx(sounds better then bobcat) in a bag

Alright, you guys can stop fighting now. The RP has officially started! Yaay. *pops party-poppers*

*brings out the cake.*

I knew there was a reason I made this.
