    So @Incognitus and I have been hard at work on a new project. It's a blend of Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire and Final Fantasy (specifically the Tactics series). To start off, let me just say that neither the TV/Book series nor the game series are required knowledge for this. We're simply using them as a jumping off point. In fact, I've only watched the first and second seasons of GoT all the way through and then bits and pieces of the following seasons (I'm trying to catch up!) and Incognitus hasn't played any of the Tactics games. We're coming up with all of the pertinent information ourselves so everything that's absolutely required to know will be in the RP, though if you are fans of Game of Thrones and/or Final Fantasy Tactics, you will be familiar with how the story unfolds.
    Long story short: It is a medieval Final Fantasy role-play that will be similar in tone to Game of Thrones (minus the HBO stuff that isn't KHV friendly, of course!) We could definitely use a couple of eager Role-Players to help us with the big picture by portraying some of the people in power.

    So here's the story for the RP: The Kingdom of Ivalice is divided into six regions divided among five Houses: House Dahaka (the vicious fighters) rules Dorne, House Ragnarok (religious warriors) rules the Stormlands, House Anima (most technologically-advanced) has the Iron Island, House Zodiark (rulers of the Church) is in the Crownlands, and House Valefor (warriors and current rulers of Ivalice) has Winterfell. Whichever House is in currently in rule (as in, the King of all of Ivalice) rules from the Westerlands, effectively giving them two regions. Each House is led by the Baron, but ultimately answers to the King. The King died three years ago and left a baby prince as an heir. The Queen named her brother Regent to the throne, allowing him to watch over the Prince until he is of age and to rule Ivalice alongside the Queen and the Hand (the throne's advisor). However, the Baron of House Ragnarok has made a claim to the throne and now tensions are rising over control of the throne.

    That's the basic story. There's more Final Fantasy stuff involved (Races, magic, a short list of available "Classes," Espers, etc.) and more Game of Thrones stuff (The North and the Night's Watch, politics, etc.) that will be described in the actual RP.

    For now, we would like someone to portray the Queen and the Baron of Ragnarok for sure. We could also use a Baron for Anima and Zodiark, but these aren't absolutely necessary as they won't come into play just yet. If you are interested for one of these roles, just post and we'll share the info for the character! If you're just interested in the RP, but not these characters, we can help you get started on your forms!
