I'm interested. I've only read the first of the Kushiel books, so I'm glad it won't be played out like them. I wouldn't want to have the story ruined for me, haha. But anyway, I'm literate and can post once a day, if not more. I just joined this site, but I'm an experienced roleplayer, and I've never had any negative comments about my literacy or lack thereof.

I've got some sort of ideas, although they're more in the line of questions that will lead to developed ideas... Are players going to have to be members of one of the families, or can they be non-noble/royal types? Do the four (five, I guess, if you count the royal house) families have any special traits that they're known for? For instance: a military family, a trade/merchant family, a more secluded family, etc. Is there any sort of magic in this roleplay, and if so what kinds? Are there any non-human races, and if so which ones? Is the only family actively seeking the throne the Lakai? And that's about it. I don't expect answers for all that mess, just throwing out things that'll help to think about (I hope).
