Well, with Rivelata failing to hold my attention anymore, I'd say there's about one more month before I drop :< The Madam and Grell there are lovely, but Rive is going nowhere fast. Which leads me to ask myself (again) where I should put an OU Sebastian. polychromatic seems to be a good place, especially after I get Merry settled in and get a better feel for ( Read more... )

Pinky swear you won't steal this idea I MEAN.

Well, okay, the world is ruled by four royal families/houses based off of the tetrarchy political system of ancient Rome (meaning, there were four kings ruling at the same time). These families are the Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clovers. You can probably tell everything else will be subsequently based on things involving a deck of cards or poker, etc, but...

Well, I was thinking the RP would be based on the fact that characters get transported there, so it would be jamjar-ish, in that sense. The character would go into whatever house and be involved with that house's politics against another house's, etc. So it's kind of like WLW in that there are different factions, but they're not hidden, exactly.

I was thinking just now that I could expand on this and start working towards making it AU, where people start forgetting their memories of their canon and 'become' people of the kingdom of ________, but that's getting a little more complicated than I was first imagining.

Basically, I would need to research tetrarchy of ancient Rome, tweak it for this RP, and then set up the houses, find people to manage the higher positions of the four houses (like in TST with the captains and first mates), and then...figure out the rest of the world.

8D?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO COPYRIGHT IT AND ALL THAT JAZZ.

Lol, it doesn't have to be completely based on Rome, so bathhouses don't have to be...so disgusting fffff. Because there is a bit of technology there, kind of like TST level of tech. And there is magic as well. It's mostly the politics I'm going after, though there is wiggle room, of course c:
