sketch of ye olde pageboy. one myte evene calle him my squire-sona ?? is thiss anye thinge

he doesn’t wear period-accurate clothing because i don’t know shit about anything :D

he’s an ambitious but not entirely genius squire serving a knight who has fallen out of favor with the crown and turned to vice; his role therefore is more so that of a cupbearer

he’s also in love with said knight 👍

[F4GM] A Palace Harem Drama RP - An EXTREMELY niche, specific RP request

As the title indicates, this is a very niche request, so niche in fact It's probably first of its kind on this sub. Now, ads aren't my strong suit so I'll keep it fairly short and simple.

About Me

Hello! My name is Astronaris, you may call me Astro. I am 21+ years old, female, live in Southeast Asia (just note the timezone there as well). I have been a roleplayer for 11 years now and I am ESL, so my writing can have some grammatical mistakes here and there. I am a pretty reserved person, so while I love OOC talk that isn't related to RP, it takes a little while for me to open up to new people, so please be patient!

Writing Style:

I write in 3rd Person Past or Present Tense and only that. I am not familiar with writing in 1st person or 2nd person. My post length usually averages around 3-5 paragraphs, can be longer or shorter as needed with the current scene, but will not be shorter than 4 sentences minimum or exceed 7 paragraphs. I very much have the "quality over quantity" principle with writing and I try to avoid having unnecessary filler or exposition inflating the length. Please don't mistake my short posts as inexperience or bad writing. [h3][/h3]

Time/Availability:

GMT +8 timezone. But, you'd find I'm available OOC almost all the time and I'll always find time to reply on Discord or otherwise, unless I am busy with something or just lacking energy that day. I try to write roleplay posts whenever available and I reply at least once per day, often more depending on my partner's length.

What To Expect From Me:

For this premise specifically, I'd prefer to play only a female primary character.

While I am seeking a GM who'd primarily control the world, plot, etc. It does not mean I will be just dead weight who just leaves allll the work to the GM. I will still be proactive and pull my weight in planning, worldbuilding, initiating or executing in-character plots, and the like. I will not write my character being passive all the time and just wasting any plot hooks given by the GM or need to be forcibly whisked away to participate in the plot.

I do not write using AI and never, EVER will.

I am not afraid to tackle darker, more grim topics in an RP, making it feel more realistic and grounded. So long it doesn't involve breaking the forum rules or making my partner uncomfortable.

I LOVE writing court intrigue, medieval politics, and drama.

Story over smut always. I prefer not to have any smut at all, but if it happens, I'll be something that happens naturally in the story and not the focus.

Overall, I am very flexible, open to adapting, and new ideas. I will always respect your preferences, limits, etc so long you respect mine.

What I Expect From My Partners:

I will try to keep this short since I don't want to come off as excessively demanding or have impossibly high standards.

Be willing to be a GM. As GM you'll be free to control the world as you wish/need to.

NOT write with AI. If you try to pass off AI-written posts as your own writing, I will know. If I wanted to write against AI, I'd go to a chatbot, not make a roleplay ad, sorry.

The RP Premise:

The final stretch of the ad! I'll keep this part short as well. Any specific details we discuss together in the planning stages of the RP.

The general idea is a roleplay set around a historically accurate harem. Not the kind of harem you'd see in animes, etc, but one structured similarly to one that existed historically. Think the Chinese Imperial Harem or the Ottoman Empire Harem as an example. Doesn't have to take place in a real life location, era, or follow the events of real-life history, there will be creative liberties taken to make the RP more fun.

My character is a concubine at one of these harems. Their story will be how they'd fight to survive within the harem, climb the ranks of power, and garner the favor the Emperor (or whatever equivalent). If you've watched CDramas like "Ruyi's Royal Love", "Empress of China", the Kdrama "Empress Ki", or the Turkish drama "Magnificent Century" that's precisely the kind of story I want to RP.

If you're the rare shiny Pokemon who's interested. Please throw me a DM or reply to the thread, and then we can discuss specifics such setting, era, etc. Roleplay can either be facilitated on Discord, Tumblr, any site my partner prefers really.
