I would like to take the banished prince's role, if possible. The thing is, I'm most likely not going to be able to log on for a few days after today...
Irony is lost on those whose behavior is ironic. Isn't that... ironic?

That's fine - if you can get a character sheet in before then just for my perusal, that would be great. But if you don't have time, no worries - see you in a few days :) I might start it up, but obviously your character can easily be introduced later as he'll not be in the thick of it straight away.
Anyone on the Prince's side can do a bit of scheming and whatnot until the Prince appears!

Sounds good. Could you give a bit more detail on the setting before I make a character though? I understand this is a medieval fantasy-ish setting, but:
1. Are there races besides human?
1b. If so, are the royal family all a specific race or?
2. Magic is mentioned in conjunction with alchemists. Are there other types of magic?
2b. If so, what sort of magic should be expected?

No other races except humans here, think of it as a sort of parallel world to Medieval England but with some fantasy thrown in.

With magic, you can play around a little bit, within reason. The alchemists' magic can almost been seen as a sort of chemistry, so there's potions and creating something out of something else. There is always the rule of 'equality'. So no making gold from grass or anything like that (Although the Philosopher's Stone can be alluded to as it has a close link to alchemy).

Alchemists cannot control people's mind or read them, they can't create fire in the palms of their hands or move things with their minds. Some of them DO believe in prophecies and destiny... I know that's not really 'magic' but it's something else that can be used in the story.

However, magic does not have to be limited to the alchemists. You can introduce some 'black magic' where someone uses voodoo to curse someone. Or you might have a character who has healing powers, although they might be seen as a 'witch' and not necessarily accepted by their community.

What I don't want is any characters with powers over an element or all-out powerful. As long as the magic makes sense and fits into the world in a logical way, it's acceptable.

I hope that's given you some clarification? If not, throw more questions my way! If you do have an idea which you think will work well with regards to magic, go with it, don't feel like you need my permission - I'm just here for guidance and I'd like everyone to have a role in how this world shapes and forms :)

I know it is not one of the roles mentioned on the front page, but could I make a peasant/thief character?

So I would like to know what the form of currency we will be using and what its like compared to the US dollar. How much more or less is it or is it the same. It'll just help with the purchase power, bribes, and other things that go with politics.

Yeah, this isn't really going to work with just the few characters we have at the moment, I'll try drumming up some interest as well.

With regards to currency, it isn't something I'd actually thought about, so I will and get back to you.
