Premise/from our welcome post:
The Gingerbread House Project, also known as the GHP, was a military attempt to train young children to become super-soldiers. Using a sophisticated hologram program, children believed they were characters from fairy tales by making them relive said fairy tales over and over again. Through the project, each child acquired a power that was related to what had occurred in their story, along with the immortality required of them to have their “happily-ever-after.” Each continued to possess these two gifts so long as they continued to believe that they were the characters from the stories, and their ability stemming from their story was honed along with various fighting styles in order to make them the ultimate soldiers.
Ten years ago, however, the GHP was shut down after the death of a child involved in the project. The other children were returned to any family members willing to take them in, or were sent to orphanages/foster care and other such places. Despite the seperation, most of them tried to maintain contact with each other as best as they could, and for the most part they succeeded. The majority managed to adjust well enough to the 'normal' world, in spite of their continued belief that they were fairytales. Some, however- either due to therapy or otherwise- began to doubt, and due to this doubt they began to lose the memory of their stories and anything else related to the Project. Many of the former children forgot the Project completely, thereby losing their immortality and their abilities. Their loss is always mourned by the remaining GHPers who still believe, most of whom are very protective of the others and keep them remembering as long as they can.
Recently, someone discovered the project again and decided to revive it. After ten years of change and separation, the GHPers- all of them children no longer- are coming together again after receiving a letter calling them back to active duty. The circumstances surrounding the project's sudden revival are a mystery- there are many things that as of yet remain unclear- but one thing is certain: Whatever happens to these young men and women now, it is certain to be a story worthy of being told throughout the ages.
So we've been playing with this twisted little fairy tale cast for a while and as expected character relationships develop. Somehow Miller here and The Tailor have started to drift very slowly towards a romantic relationship, in part due to the fact that both of their respective royal loves are missing from their lives. Neither of them realize/acknowledge the feelings they harbor for the other, perhaps out of lingering affection/obligation for the people they ended up having their happily-ever-afters with.
What we want is to have their royals return, partly for the drama and partly because the CR would be wicked. I know that Miller still bears some lingering feelings for her King, and from how we've played I'm pretty sure it's the same for The Tailor in regards to his Princess, but the Princess wasn't characterized as feeling the same in the story and no one's sure about anything about the King except for the fact that he seems pretty greedy.
Any help for names/personality/PBs/whatever can and will be readily given. If anything about the game itself is unclear, I'm totally able to explain in more depth or offer more linkage if need be. I just don't want to TL;DR in this main post.
Really really hope someone picks up either the Princess or any of
these guys, really. But currently especially the Princess.
