The Selection: Semi-Advanced Roleplay discussion

Mod

W E L C O M E T O I L L É A ;

During the third world war, Gregory Illéa singlehandedly held up the assault against Russia, leading the battered Unites States of America into a new age, rebirthing it as a new country, one that did not hold the soiled reputation of the old name, one that resurrected hope. Illéa.

Over two hundred years later, the country remains more prosperous than ever, order established through the caste system, the poll numbers higher than ever in favor for the Schreaves, the royal family which has led Illéa through both the light and the dark for over over two centuries.

While the Northern Rebels and Illéa have more or less maintained a very, very tentative treaty for the past few generations due to some inner palace connections, the bloodthirsty Southern rebels, not even able to fathom the possibility of compromising in any way with the current government, lurk in the shadows, waiting.

Now, it is time for the Selection, where thirty-five girls are chosen in contest for one crown. Winning means certain fame, certain wealth, certain power. The selected not only have the chance to win the prince's hand but to also bear the authority of the crown, to rule alongside him, to have equal dominion over the fate of Illéa.

It sounds too good to be true. And for thirty-four, it will be. The selected have come and the rebels are coming. Some girls see opportunity, some see fairy-tale endings, and some see war, waged not with guns and knives but with whispers and lies. After all, everyone who has something to gain also has something to lose. What are you willing to risk in order to win?
