hi anon!

thank you for reaching out with this question!

despite the kingdoms being just off the coast of south korea and having adapted with modern cultures and technology through the years, there is sometimes tension but not as much backlash on lgbtq+ muses. kingdoms do still hold a lot of old traditions and values for their ruling families (having a king and queen), so even though muses may be less heavily criticized about being lgbtq+, there is still an unspoken understanding and expectation that a muse would abide with royal traditions and enter a marriage with whatever partner is chosen for them when ascending the throne, or being placed into a marriage for royal alliances. this is not to target any muses specifically, but because royal relationships are heavily centered around politics and not true love and romance.

that being said, all lgbtq+ muses are welcome here and do not have to be forced into a "traditional" relationship by the rp lore as no royals are currently ascending the throne. if you want your muse to have any plots or character development surrounding the traditions that are still present in the kingdoms that is perfectly fine and completely up to you!

just to emphasize, lgbtq+ muses would not be scorned in any of the kingdoms whether this information is known ic or not. as well, all muses can have secret or open relationships and that would be okay too! just keep in mind that with the open relationships, there may be some people who still don’t approve of it so that’s where the criticism can come into play.

please let us know if you have any other questions!

hello there~

the rp is currently set in modern times. however, the land and countries themselves are a hybrid between modern and older ways. for example, the palaces and center cities where palaces of each kingdom are located are definitely more modernized, having adapted to technology over the years. however, there are still parts of the palaces and country where technology is not fully integrated.

that considered, all the kingdom's do still carry heavy traditions and older values in regards to how they rule the countries, run court and the royal etiquette that is still present through all the kingdoms. this in turn applies to the knights as well.

on our knights page, there is a brief explanation on how knights are not regarded as militia as all three countries do maintain civil relations. the knights are more like police in terms of finding an equivalent to modern day systems. however, because the kingdoms run by older traditions, knights will carry weapons on their bodies depending on their rank and assignments. elite and private knights are allowed to carry small firearms on them at all times (should they opt out of a traditional sword) as usually they are working to guard the royal family members or carrying out secret orders.

first rank and second rank knights will only be allowed to carry firearms during events or when being sent to accompany and guard lower tiered prince and princesses out of country. otherwise, most of the time they will be carrying a lightweight sword if they choose to do so. with knight training, all knights will be capable and ready to fight physically without weapons, which is why having a weapon such as a sword is not a necessity. although there is a restriction on who can carry firearms at all times, all knights go through the same training. they are trained for firearms as well as traditional weapons during their training when entering the palaces to become official knights.

we hope this answers your questions! if not, please feel free to message us again for more details!

hello! at the moment, no, we're only allowing characters of noble status (who have now become royals, princes, princesses, or knights) or in the specific case of knights, lower-class characters as well. you can definitely have a muse whose parent(s) is a/are palace staff but they themselves cannot be, although maybe they had/have dreams of being one yet for whatever reason, have ended up being one of the roles we do allow! maybe in the future we may consider expanding the kinds of characters we'd accept but as most of our group and plot revolves around those fighting for the crown, our focus is there for the time being. we hope you understand!

oh no don't worry at all!! ask all the questions you need and want to!!

so with lower class families, they do live both within the kingdoms and outside of them. we don't have a direct image of what the fictional island country all these smaller countries of suits are split into so please bear with me as i try to elaborate them as best as possible! it anything, at best you can imagine the layout of the entire piece of land circularly. this is because each kingdom, within their own respective countries, can be reached within a half days travel from another kingdom.

the idea is that each country is relatively similar in size and at the center of all these kingdoms is the center of diamonds. the center of diamonds could really be considered it's own country if we were to label it specifically but it's really just a smaller version of what the kingdoms are like. and just like the distance that it takes to get from one kingdom to the next, it also takes the same amount of time to get to the center - thus it's name of 'center' and because it is the midpoint connecting all the kingdoms.

that went a little more into the layout (sorry!) but getting back to where these lower class families reside, they can reside within the kingdom cities and outside in smaller towns by the borders of these countries. these smaller towns all consist of lower class families because they are less modern and less adapted to technology. so unlike noble families and areas within the actual kingdom city, they don't exactly have the option to choose to adapt to modern technology.

as for classifying, considering the entire countries and kingdoms are pretty hybrid between modern age and traditions, lower class families are being identified as the working class! physical labor, shop owners, artisans, repair shops and families that aren't able to afford longterm educations for their children and earning less money than nobles. take into consideration like, even if their children were able to go to college and receive higher education, that would earn them good graces in building up their individual reputation, but that still wouldn't be enough to make them a noble.

nobles are older traditions and lower/working class families can make their way up to becoming nobles (for example nobles begin to acknowledge them as equals after years of networking and strategizing) but realistically it would be very difficult making that jump in status unless if they were marrying into a noble family.

i hope this was able to answer your question! if not please let us know!

hi there anon~

the answer to that question is yes! even if there are still premades open, anyone can apply with an oc - which we encourage!

we didn't think there would be as much interest in the premades as there is to be honest. about half of them have been taken and the others are currently reserved. i believe there are about four that are currently open if you did want to reserve one. depending on how the rp grows and if all premades do get taken, we are considering the possibility of adding more premades.

but if you'd like to bring in an oc that would be perfect! although we've definitely been wanting to see more ocs with the knights or royal statuses (since the ratio for those are pretty low right now), we would love to see any prince or princess you'd like to bring in too!

let us know if you have any other questions with ocs without premades!

hey there!

in each kingdom they live in palaces! i realize i've been using the terms castle and palaces interchangeably but they are quite different so i apologize for the confusion that may have caused!

each palace interior has different aesthetics but they are all heavily baroque styled. so for example, the spade's palace if heavily influenced by dark academia, the hearts palace with fairytale and light core vibes and as for the clover's palace it is definitely more colorful with it's celestial, mystical themes.

the kingdom pages offers an image on each kingdom to kind of give a vibe on the palaces. i do also want to mention that these palaces have been modified and refurnished through the years to adapt to modern technology so they have several rooms and amenities such as libraries, council rooms, ballrooms, gardens, kitchens, dining rooms, private tutoring rooms, training grounds, garages, bedrooms, etc. so although interior designs are much older and less modern, each palace has electricity throughout along with systems such as Wi-Fi and central heating and cooling.

i hope that answers your question and gives a better idea!

hiya!! we initially decided it'll just be first come first served so whoever happens to be the first applicant for a sibling premade, would be what last name that all the other siblings would follow (unless they have a reason for not sharing the same last name) but admittedly, we didn't think so many premades would be reserved so fast, especially all the children of the queen & king of hearts, so we thought this method would be okay LOL that being said, we can try to connect the potential applicants who reserved sibling premades if everyone provides us a way to get you all in contact (a couple already have actually asked us about this, so some of the reserves are definitely willing to pre-plot and/or discuss) - or if they have a blog ready, they can reply to this post! if not and you want to apply anyways, you can just omit the last name for now and make a note in the app that the last name will be whatever app we receive first! if someone does this and they happen to also be the first app for that family, we can just ask them to choose a last name at that point as well.

i hope that covers all our bases and gives potential applicants options! in the future, we might set a last name for sibling premades but initially, we didn't want to lock any family into a specific ethnicity from the get go which is why we were just leaving it up to whoever applied first!

hi and no worries!

we originally didn't have set ages for those since we wanted to let muns decide for their muses. but to prevent any inconveniences before and when apps roll out, we've decided to set the flame premade between '91 - '96, the rose and thorn premades between '97 - '00.

the other biological premades have been updated as well if you'd like to see those.
