(i am DESPERATE for a one on one romance and i’ve has this story idea in my head for a while, so i thought, why not combine the two?)

In the kingdom of Axaela, there is one sole heir to the throne, and that is the crown prince. The reigning Queens of Azaela are desperate to ensure he makes it onto the throne, so they assign him a personal knight. She is there to protect him night and day, and is instructed to keep things professional. But keeping things professional is hard when there’s an undeniable spark between the two…

BACKGROUND/STUFF YOU NEED TO READ:

When the roleplay starts, it will be months after the Knight has been assigned to the Prince, so they’re basically like best friends now. Have them act like it!

The Knight and the Prince have other friends! Like the Prince has his Advisor and the Knight will have her knight buddies. Please have them interact/mention with their friends!

Please do not have both of the Queens be total jerkwads, if you choose to be them. I’d prefer for at least one of them to be sweet and kind.

There will be sexual tension. A lot of it. It’s one of the two main reasons this roleplay is rated M: possible gore and if things get frisky. If you choose to join, please be comfortable with writing about the frisky stuff.

I absolutely DO NOT want them both to crush on each other in the beginning and say ‘I love you’ on the second day. That’s no fun! We live on angst, slow burn, and pining in this household.

Feel free to suggest any plot points to me! I have a basic idea on how I want this roleplay to turn out, but I’d love if you’d throw me a couple of ideas too! But please PM me about them! We’ll (hopefully) have stalkers and I don’t want to ruin the story for them.

Technology is a part of this universe, but only phones and computers, stuff like that. Everything else is kind of medivial-esque with some changes.

When filling out the form, keep in mind with weapon of choice that is has to be from that time period and nothing exotic. While the Prince does train with the Knight, he is no where as good as her. After all, she was only chosen because she was at the top of her class.

I would like to be the knight, please.

RULES:

• Proper grammar and spelling, please. I understand the occasional slip up, but if you use all three forms of ‘there’ in a paragraph and none of them are used correctly, I will let you know.
• Please be on/reply once a day, that’s all I’m asking. I’ve seen really good role plays just die off from the lack of response. If you’re going away for a bit, just tell me! I understand and won’t beat you up for it. ツ
• On the topic of replies, please a couple of sentences. We want to keep the storyline moving, and not stuck on the same conversion for two weeks.
• I would prefer to keep it boy/girl, just for the sake of the roleplay, but if you really really REALLY want it to be boy/boy or girl/girl and can convince me, then I’ll think about it. It has nothing to do with the LGBTQIA+ community.
• No bigotry of any kind, not even in your characters. For some people, this website is their safe place. I will not let you ruin that just because you want a ‘dark and broody’ character. That goes for slurs too.
• Drama between the two characters is fine, but please none between us! I want to be friends :(
• No controlling the other persons character, unless it’s like ‘we walked down the stairs together and into the garden’ or something.
• Cursing is allowed, but not in every single sentence, please.
• Please ask before joining. PLEASE.
• I have the right to say no if I think your writing style doesn’t work with the roleplay. Please don’t get hurt, this has nothing to do with you!
• Like I said, please PM me if you’re thinking of throwing a major plot point in.
• It’s rated M for possible gore and definitely steamy stuff. The steamy stuff will probably be taken to PM.
• andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)’s rules apply.
• That’s all I can think of right now, I might add to this later though.

Ahhhhhh this looks really interesting but I really shouldn't be joining roleplays right now

You wanna join? ;)

I'd love to, but I'm gonna be gone for the most part all next week…

Me too, so it’s no biggie ツ Your choice though

Oh really? Well, that works out then. You mind me joining?

Not at all! Just fill out the form when you can and then we’ll get started, after I post mine too of course ツ

Alright, that sounds good. I'll get it up tomorrow morning, but I have a party tomorrow, so I won't be on much

That’s cool with me

Quick question, what do you mean by family? Like siblings or things like that?

Well, since the Prince is the sole heir of the throne, then he wouldn’t have any siblings. Just describe the Queens and their personalities ツ

Okay, that helps! So apparently creating him took longer than expected, so I won't be posting him anytime soon. Sorry

It’s all good! Take your time ツ

Name: Rhys Oulixes
Role: Crown Prince
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Height: 6'3
Looks: He's obviously tall, but far from lanky with the lean muscle he's built up over the years from training. His frame is more narrow than broad, with thin/knobby wrists and faint ropes of veins showing in his arms. His face is narrow with prominent cheekbones and a sharp jawline, defined brows, roman nose, and almond-shaped eyes. His hair is a slightly wavy sandy blonde and usually falls into his eyes, as he doesn't keep it super short. His eyes are two different colors, one being a seafoam green and the other a baby blue. Deep dimples appear whenever he smiles. The dude has a six-pack and isn't afraid of showing it off. He has a thick scar going diagonally down the left side of his chest, starting at his shoulder and ending at the lower middle of his chest. For tattoos, he has this series of Norse tats, and then this dragon tat on his back between his shoulder blades. A splash of freckles on his face.
Personality: A N G E R Y. The dude has some serious anger issues, and will punch walls if he gets hella pissed. But he usually covers up his issues with his flirtatious and womanizer behavior, as well as his blatant arrogance. He pretty much sleeps with any woman that falls at his feet, then leaves them in the dust when he's had his fun. Some he comes back to if he's really feeling it, but otherwise, nah. But beyond that anger and flirty arrogance, he can be incredibly loyal to those he truly cares about. He's still super flirty, but he'll do his best to be nice if he really cares about someone. It's hard for him, but he'll try. It's the thought that counts. If he really likes someone—like, genuinely likes someone—he'll leave little gifts here and there that he knows the person likes, such as a favorite flower next to a cup of their preferred tea/drink. He won't admit it, of course, but he'll still do it. He'll also defend the person with all his might and without hesitation.
Quirks: Taps the air, like he's playing air piano or something. For some reason, he knows everyone's favorite color? Will sometimes punch a wall just to punch something—he doesn't even need to be angry. Obsessed with clouds.
Likes: The smell of the oil in oil lamps, thunderstorms (sound, not being in them), loud things, canons, ravens, flirting, partying, drinking, feeding wild deer/fawns.
Dislikes: Playing musical instruments, quiet music/people, assholes (let's just ignore the fact that he can be equally asshole-ish…) clingy people, cats, smell of lavender.
Family:
Queen Alona: She’s the younger Queen and the one most loved by the people. She’s sweet and very kind, doing the best she can to hear what her people have to say. Though a strict ruler, her punishments are always fair and fit the severity of the crime. She has long sunflower blonde hair that falls in neat waves, fair and porcelain-like smooth skin, big grassy green eyes, and a slim build.
Queen Vekra: She’s the older Queen, and the one who is more diplomatic and headstrong. She keeps the peace between the kingdom and others, as well as order. If war should break out, she is ready to face it with her head held high and armor on. She’s actually the reason for female warriors within their army and Guard. She has straight, chin-length black hair cut with a razor-like edge, not a hair out of place. Her skin is slightly tan with beauty marks that she’s not shy about, a touch of muscle, and is taller than Alona. Her eyes are thundercloud gray.
Choice weapon: Duel-wielding swords, but he’s not nearly as skilled to be able to pull it off flawlessly, though he’s too stubborn to believe that. When he absolutely has to, he’ll go down to one sword.
Other: Left handed, but has learned to be ambidextrous. Has a pet raven he raised from when it was a chick because it fell out of its nest. Raven's name is Nox. Voice usually sounds throaty.

((Finally! How is he?))

I love him!!

Name: Kerta Jaxaye
Role: Personal Knight
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Height: 5’8”
Looks: Coming as an immigrant into the country at the age of 11, Kerta comes from the country of Deonce, which is along the equator. It’s evident in her dark skin and freckles that she’s from out of town. Her parents fled from the country while they could, but Kerta already had the mental and physical scars of being in the slave trade. She had scars on her back before gained more because of being in the Guard. Despite her scars and freckles, Kerta’s body is very fit, and she sports a 6 pack she doesn’t mind bragging about. Her height adds to a threatening aura, and she’ll use it to her advantage. She had sea blue eyes that pop, and you’ll notice her bright smile too, although she does have a tooth gap. She has two tattoos, one on her leg (https://pin.it/m4hjvaiv2q6tb2) and a second, which is two flowers, one on each arm (https://pin.it/2mk4stq7jcxwna).
Personality: Kerta is a protector, which is one of the reasons she became a Knight. She’d do anything for her family or the Royal one, since it’s them who gave her a chance at a new life. Loyal as a dog, Kerta would never run away from a fight, even if it means her death. Honor is a very real thing for her, no matter how ridiculous it seems. Disappointing anyone who is an authority figure for her tears her apart. Other than risking her head every other day, she’s pretty confident in herself. You can see it in the way she walks or talks. However confident, she’s humble. Knowing where she’s come from and what she’s been through, Kerta doesn’t have it in her to act like she’s better than everyone else, because she knows she isn’t. This also kind of links to her insecurity in her position. She’s hyper aware of how easily she could be replaced, so every tiny mistake furthers her anxiety. If she’s interested in someone, she’ll look at them constantly, almost committing them to memory. Quick little glances or long gazes are her specialty. She’ll also make sure you’re happy, or as happy as you can be in that moment.
Quirks: Kerta taps everything three times. Her foot, her fingers on a table, her weapon. It’s an unconscious thing she does while she’s focused. Also, she sticks out her tounge when she reads.
Likes: Reading, the smell of the library, the adrenaline rush you get while in battle, her sword, her horse Petre, sitting by the fire, the sun
Dislikes: the ocean (bad memories from the boat ride), slavery, arrogance, people getting hurt because of her, assholes of every kind, feeling like you can’t do anything
Family: Kerta’s father was killed while enslaved, so she is extremely protective of her mother and her little brother and sister (twins). Her mother, Bryff Jaxaye, is her role model in life and one of the strongest people Kerta has ever met. She looks exactly like her eldest daughter, except she has hazel eyes instead of sea blue. The twins, Elmer (boy) and Fauna (girl) both have the same dark skin and curly black hair as their sister, but they have their mother’s hazel eyes. They’re about 9 years old, and Kerta’s stepfathers kids.
Choice weapon: She wields one sword, which she has lovingly named Praesidio, which means ‘protect’. She’s used it from her beginning in the Guard, and it’s one of her most prized possessions.
Other: This is what her armor looks like: https://pin.it/pf4s7zhocxdchm

Whew, that was long! What do you think of her?

Also, here’s some important stuff that I’ve changed cause I can’t stop thinking about this roleplay:

• Instead of them knowing each other for a few months, let’s start when Kerta is getting assigned to Rhys. It might provide some sparks ;)

• Rhys and Kerta’s rooms are ajoined in case of a surprise attack. In Rhys’ room, there’s a secret escape room in case of that attack. It’s hard to find and is a smallish room. If there was an attack, Rhys and Kerta would be close-ish together.

• Originally, I was going to have a bit of technology in this role play, but I think it’d be better if there was none. Sorry !

I love her! And I don't mind that there's no tech. I'm currently fleshing Rhys out a bit more, mainly giving him a reason for his assholery and anger issues.

Okie doke! Just let me know when your ready to start ツ

I'm ready to start whenever, so I guess now

(Alright cool)

Kerta was in Queen Verka’s office, and with no idea what she did to deserve to be here. Queen Alona and the Prince were also here, standing by her side, which only increased her nervousness. Even though her face remained impassive, she was freaking out on the inside, racking her brain for even the tiniest mistake she made that resulted with a visit with the Royal family. None came to mind; Kerta had been on her best behavior since she was promoted to second-in-command of the Guard a few weeks ago.

Tapping her fingers nervously on the hilt of her sword, she bowed deeply before speaking. “Your Highnesses, may I ask what you require my services for?”

Rhys was standing straight with his chin held high, his lips set in the ghost of a smirk that almost always seemed to grace them. His hands were behind his back, fingers tapping the air in a random pattern that he hardly registered, the habit as old as time for him. He didn't speak, he himself not even sure why they were having this meeting in the first place.

Queen Verka ran her slim fingers over the edge of her desk, eyes tracking the movement before resting on the Guard before her. "As you know, Prince Rhys here is the sole heir to the crown. Queen Alona and I must ensure his safety so he can live to take his place as King. You, my dear, have been selected for the job of staying by his side and protecting him from any sort of harm that might come to him."

Rhys's different colored eyes darted over to Verka in astonishment. He didn't need protection from anyone, and most certainly didn't need to be protected by some girl. A feather in his cheek feathered as he clenched his jaw, and his tapping ceased as he curled his fingers into a fist. Don't explode, don't get mad. He repeated the words in his head, subtly breathing in and out in controlled breaths.

Kerta’s eyes glanced over to the Prince in surprise before focusing back on the Queens. The Prince-Rhys, was it?-looked angry, and she could imagine why. But her excitement over her new position far outweighed her concern for his feelings. Two promotions in three months? She was on a roll.

A small smile on her lips, Kerta bowed again in gratitude. “Thank you, Your Highness. I will not let you down.” she said, confidence filling her voice as she stood straight. Wait til I tell Caseya about this, she’ll be ecstatic, she thought smugly.

Queen Verka just lifted her chin, the only acknowledgment Kerta would get from that particular Queen. Alona, on the other hand, offered a kind smile while placing a pale hand on Rhys's shoulder, gently squeezing in an attempt to calm him down. It worked, sort of. He managed to calm himself somewhat, but he still wasn't happy about the situation.

Queen Alona stepped forward and handed Kerta a metal pin. The shimmering gold encrusting the kingdom's emblem indicated her rank as the Prince's personal guard. "We believe in your skills, Kerta Jaxaye, and it's our honor to bestow this emblem to you. May your sword stay sharp and your wits even sharper."

Kerta carefully took the metal pin from Queen Alona, admiring the beauty of it before slipping it into her pocket. She’d attach it to her uniform jacket later, replacing her second-in-command one. Bowing her head once again, she chose her next words carefully. “Your Highness, it is my full gratitude for you for this opportunity. It is my honor to be serving the Oulixes bloodline.” Kerta was telling the full truth; the Oulixes gave her a new chance at life when she came to the country. She’d take any chance to repay them.

Queen Alona smiled, while Queen Verka nodded curtly and spoke. "Your duties begin first thing tomorrow morning. I expect you to be by the Prince's side as much as possible and on full alert. Nothing can happen to the heir."

Rhys grumbled under his breath, "I'm right here, you know." Verka shot him a glare, and he glared right back, not at all bothering to hide his distaste for this entire thing. It was ridiculous and pointless, not to mention a massive blow to his pride. He didn't need to be coddled.
