Questions/Whining/Suggestions

They get married when the woman is twenty-one, and so really, there wouldn't be anyone she would be able to be remarried due to how the arranged marriages work.

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

What Matthew said >.>

The only thing that would really happen is the fling of widows--which could be frowned upon, but it's not exactly illegal.

[Matthew]

Would it be frowned upon enough for them to loose their noble status? ._.

Okie gots it

@ Matt, they would be considered the bottom of the class.

Since like Xylon, their are Social Ladders inside the classes themselves.

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

No :P I just like him

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

because he's a whore :D

About how the situation works.

Due to Camille's ability the Royal Guard wants her.

Camille will turn nineteen in about a month.

If Camille doesn't join the Royal Guard she will be forbidden from using her powers.

At what level of endangerment is a noble likely to be in if they don't join? Does it depend on their ability? And if so, would Camille's ability put her at high risk of this?

Camille is a high class noble arranged to marry another high class noble.

If she does joins the Royal Guard would that affect her arranged marriage?

Would she have to marry another member of the Royal Guard?

How would that politically affect her family if she did join the Royal Guard?

I feel the need to make either choice a horrible one because a) the Royal Guard is corrupted and b) the person she is marrying is a tool of the Royalty and a complete egotistic jerk on the side(Volunteers? XP)

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

"At what level of endangerment is a noble likely to be in if they don't join?"

They're in no danger unless they're extremely noticed by the Royal Guard. It's not what ability they have per say, it's how they use it that gets them the attention. The attention she gets is up to you.



"If she does joins the Royal Guard would that affect her arranged marriage?"

She would still be considered a Noble if she joined the Guard--so then she has the choice to either marry a Noble or marry someone in the Guard. The only way someone is in the Social Class "Royal Guard" is if they are born into it, or if they disband their family completely.



"How would that politically affect her family if she did join the Royal Guard?"

Welp, since the high class people are mostly comprised of the Royal Guard, I'm sure it can't hurt their reputation, if that's what you're asking. It's a double-edged sword... some will hate them for Camille's decision, some would like them for it. It all depends on which side of the crowd you are trying to please... though the one's that would support her being in the guard are the more important/influential/high class people that actually matter.

[Matthew]

Okay.

Now I'm wondering if and why she would draw attention to herself, I don't think she would do it purposely unless there was a good reason to have to use her powers. >_>

A really stupid question, but I need specifics: How does a person's powers come to be known? Is there a process to know or does someone notices and reports it? Can someone keep their power a secret so as to not join the Royal Guard by trying not to use his/her power? (Stupid, I know)

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

None of those are stupid. :P

Okay, a person's power comes to be known because people talk. There are at least five guards in every district, so word gets around particularly fast.

Just because you have a power doesn't mean you have to join the Royal Guard. It's just a law that at the age of nineteen, you must cease using your power if you wish not to be in the guard--if you disobey this law, you can either join the guard or die.

[♬ ☮ Priya ♀ ♏ {Smoke and Starlight} ☠ ☯]

okay, got it, thanks! :D

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

That answered all of your questions then? :D

[♬ ☮ Priya ♀ ♏ {Smoke and Starlight} ☠ ☯]

Yup... only for now *evil smile* ... new and stupid questions are bound to rise anytime so...

Hey erm Rose ^^' I do not want to be trouble, but I am mostly done my character and all I need to fill in is the power category, but I'm not sure if the ones I chose are acceptable, do you mind just going to that thread and seeing if they are?

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

Sure will!

[Sevania]

I's gots a question. How do you make a URL to your character?

[✯✯ᔕTᗩᖇᖇᒪIᘜᕼT✯✯]

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

Just go with money to make things easier.

Where it says how many minutes/hours ago (or the date) for your post in the upper right corner of the message. Right click-> Copy URL

[Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ]

Can I make a member of the Grace family, please?

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

Nothing about the Grace family has been determined.

[Avalon]

Is there some sort of topic I'm supposed to post in when my character is finished, so that it can be approved?

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

Nope, I'm doing that right now. I approve them when I have time xD

Thanks so much!

[Matthew]

Rose!
Can my next character be an intellect?

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

Of what gender?

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

For ease of RP just make it a tad proper, but for the main part the same as the way we speak. :)

[[deleted user]]

(: So for the dress of the people,
what do they wear? I know you had said before kind of uptight and not a lot of skin showing clothes, but does that mean victorian era gowns and rags or just kind of closed shirts and long pants?

Also! What are the streets made out of and the buildings? O: The city is called Porcelain Glass so I was just curious before I post something and get it terribly wrong!

Come to think of it, I'm kind of curious myself. Is the city made of porcelain?

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

That's open to interpretation :) I personally have been RP'ing with the girls in long skirts and dresses while the males are in working clothes and such. I just think it's fun that way--but it's really up to you. As long as nobody's character is wearing hooker boots and dancing to the thong song, I'm okay with variation of attire throughout the RP's.

The city is not made out if Porcelian :P

And the streets? are they made out of cobblestone or cement?
Oh alright! x3

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

Cobblestone of courrrsseeeeee

Either? >_>

[rose, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK]

Well you can if it's a boy, considering the gender count for that class is rather uneven.

[Matthew]

Okay!
THEN A BOY IT SHALL BE!
LET LOOSE THE TESTOSTERONE!

[Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ]

So, speaking style is sort of formal? And dress style is modest? Hmm, got it.
