The Darkest Price (Open/Accepting/M)

Terra, a beautiful place ruled by King Henry and his wife Lyra. They ended up having five children, but a couple months after their fifth children were born, Queen Lyra was murder. The man who had killed her, threaten to do the same to his children if King Henry didn't obey his demands. The man is King Tylaer of Ty'Scia, a distant dark country. He wanted the children to be married to his once the time was right. King Henry, not wanting his children to die agreed.

It is now twelve years later and a messenger has told King Henry it is time. He is sending his children to Ty'Scia with knights as their protector. Most of them aren't completely sure what is going to happen, but the older ones know that King Tylaer might be setting it up so upon their father's death, he will rule both countries. But is that all there is going on in the dark, dangerous land of Ty'Scia? Or does it hide more?

Rules and Such
1. No god-modding
2. You can curse, but don't over do it and censor the big ones.
3. No OOC fighting. Do it and you'll be kicked out.
4. You can have four characters.
5. Sexual orientration is up to you, but you must tell me what it is. After we get all ten royal members, I will pair them up for the marriages are arranged.
6. Going off 5, you can still have romances with others who aren't your fiance, but you'll probably have to be sneaky about it.
7. No over doing the romance/fighting and keep it teen please!
8. Let's have fun now.
9. Oh and be literate. Illiterate people irritate me to no end. I can understand typos and bad days though, but try and make your posts detailed and long and error free.
10. Terra is a more natural place. Elves, Angels, Mermaids, all peace loving/good natured/nature loving creatures will be here. Ty'Scia deals more with darker creatures like vampires, demons and the like.

Miero hardly remembers his mother, though from what his older siblings say she was a good woman. Miero is an average boy of his age, if a little shy and reserved. He is willing to try new things, and does have a sharp mind for one his age. Miero also has--or rather had--ambitious plans of one day ruling all of Terra, alongside his sister, even though he was not Crown Prince himself. Though those visions of glory have since been cast aside when these arranged marriages came to light.

History: Legis is the oldest of his siblings, and was the first child born from the King and Queen. Out of his siblings Legis remembers his mother best, and he does still miss her, after all these years. Legis has always wanted to find those responsible for his mother's murder, but no suspects were ever found, which has frustrated the Prince to no end all these years.

But for the sake of his father, he is reluctantly going along with it.
Royalty/Knight: Royalty
Kingdom: Terra
Magic/Weapon: Legis is a fully trained warrior, though he has no magical abilities whatsoever.

Username: Magus1108
Name: Sereda
Age: 30
Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=wicked#/d844kc
History: For the past ten years Sereda has been a great advisor to the King. And thanks to manipulations on her part, she is the only advisor now that the King seriously listens to. Not even his own wives have as much sway with him as Sereda does now, which is just the way she likes it. No one knows what true goals Sereda has, or what will do to achieve them. Those in the Courts of Ty'Scia, though, know that it is best not to cross her for fear of brutal retalitation. As Sereda has demonstrated on several occassions.
Royalty/Knight: Sorceror/Witch
Kingdom: Ty'Scia
Magic/Weapon: A very powerful magic user versed in all sorts of dangerous and strong spells.
Other: Sereda's interests in the flesh extend to both men and women, but she has particular tastes. Mostly those in young boys and girls under the age of sixteen. So you could say that Sereda is a bisexual pedophile. Or however that is spelt.

Ooh, this is interesting. Sign me up!

I reserve a role.

Note: Like it said in the rules sexual orientation is up to you, but your character might get paired with someone they don't like. But hey what happens in the ending is all up in the air. So let me be clear on what I am fine with:

Homosexuals, heterosexuals, incest, pedophilia, maybe somes if done right. Sex is ok for everyone over the age of 14 unless you convince me that pure 12 year old Enma will sleep with 16 year old *insert name* The reason underage sex is ok is because they live in an age that most humans don't live long and most other races don't care too much. I know I am weird.

What I am not ok with is well....beastility. Yeah. That's pretty much it.

What about Asexualuality, could that be brought in for sad but amusing times?

*Royalty. Sorry, grammar nazi here. Unless you meant royality? Sorry.

Accepted Warboss and almost. Magus and Alec get them done as soon as you can.

Note we need two more Terra royals and we need to eliminate a Ty'Scia one. Who's bad at counting?

I am all for giving up Toan if no one else wants to give up one of theirs.

What if we say it's like a, "Man in the Iron Mask" type deal, but it was more that King Tylaer had a tryst and doesn't know about him. If it was with a demoness, she could plan to use him to upset the kingdom internally, that way, no one has to give up their characters

Nope. No more royal members are available at this point.

Ok.

I have completed my characters.

Accepted. I shall now post all the arranged marriages at the top.

Oh and Warboss I totally forgot. You Miridia must be younger or the same age as Toan since he is the oldest of his siblings.

(Double post go! We shall begin)

Kirei headed towards the library. She wanted to do more reading on a spell used to make people's insides melt. She passed through wallls, scaring random servants. Well only the new ones. Most of the older ones knew of Kirei's powers. She had used them a lot to cause trouble. But nowadays her focus was on studying.

She finally reached the library and took the book down. She then seated herself and began to read.
----------
Toan was pacing the courtyard. In a couple days the stupid Terra children would be here. The thought of having to deal with good-doers like that, added to the stress of the weddings made Toan want to slit someone's throat.

"I don't even want to be King," he muttered to himself. Toan would rather just fade into the background and cause trouble there.
----------
Hanyer was on his way to see if the cart that would carry supplies and the younger twins to Ty'Scia was ready when he felt something pulling on his shirt. He looked down to see Enma.

"Have you see Miero," she asked, Bunne clutched in one hand.

"No sorry Princess Enma. But I am sure he's around here somewhere."

"My dear brother...my poor, dear brother..." said Miridia, appearing behind Toan, twirling a staff, as she began to circle her brother, "Why art thou so worried? If you do not wish to be King, then I shall claim it for you!" she said, raising her staff above her head, her mismatched haunting eyes taking on an ethereal luminescence.

"Of course I would only be so glad to take this burden off of your hands! And don't worry about father...he seems so...scared of me? Preposterous! But what? Oh, it matters not!" she dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand.

"It shouldn't be too long before they arrive, you know..." she said, holding up a golden clockwork watch of her own design, "Just a matter of time..."

------------------------------------

Selphie looked around, getting nervous. Enma couldn't have gotten very far, and there was no telling what she could get herself into if she weren't careful.

"Oh, Enma, come on! Stop playing around, this isn't funny anymore!" She called out, father had asked her to get her youngest sister so that he could speak with her about the upcoming marriage...oh, dear, this was not going well...

((I'm counting the King as a technical NPC, if that's ok. I'm not controlling him in any way, just using him as a situational plot device ))

"Father has been the King of Ty'Scia for decades, sister. It is foolish to speak thus of him," Firdar said softly as he emerged from the shadows of a nearby wall. He worse an impassive expression as he regarded both his older siblings.

"Father is firm in his decrees. I do not wish to see you punished. For good or ill, Toan is the heir until he dies. If you wish, though, you may abdicate once Father passes from this world," he advised emotionlessly. His expression, however, softened a bit at the mention of the Royalty from Terra.

"Do you think my bride will be scared of me?"

((Question: Can Legis have an NPC guide or something? Since he's blind and all, he can't really get around by himself. His hearing and smelling can only get him so far.))

Miero

"I'm here." Miero announced calmly as he walked toward his twin.
