Role Play Here

Story

It is the early 1900's and you live in the capital of Russia, Saint Petersburg! The streets are crowded and most live poor. The rich and royal live in elegent mansions/palaces(For the Romanov family). Life was fabulous, they lived in huge palaces with every luxury imaginable. There were balls and concerts, theatre and opera, as well as huge country houses to get away from the city in the summer months. The middle class is the intelligentsia and merchants and professionals - it is from this class that much of Russia's rich cultural heritage is drawn. This class of people are the doctors, lawyers, teachers and merchants. The Lower Class were the peasents who live in basic wooden houses with no electricity and outside hole-in-the-ground outhouses. For workers the pay was poor, housing was diabolical, and the working day was 14 hours long - 6 days a week. Russia had been rapidly industrialising from the 1880s onwards, there were many factories, mostly producing goods for the military, rifles, textiles, uniforms, boots and saddlery. 

Summary

So, basically, you are a Russian living in the capital, Saint Petersburg. 80% of the population is poor. In actual history, around this time the Russian Revolution would be about to start, and the slaughter of the Romanov family would take place. But, this roleplay is not going to be based off of historical events. There will be a royal family: the Czar, His wife(The queen), five Grand Duchesses(Princess; the daughters of the Czar and Queen) and two young princes. (Not exactly the last Romanov family, but I'm kind of twisting it around). The Czar is a loyal, strong leader who adores his wife and children, and does best for his country. The rest if up to you, whether you are a peasent or royal or soldier or a noble or whatever. It's up to you. Message me if you have any questions. 

Rules

1. There will be five Grand Duchesses and two princes, plus the Czar and Queen. I will roleplay a daughter and the youngest son. You can choose their names/age/appearance if you choose to roleplay one of the Romanovs. But their last names are Romanov. It's first come, first serve or if you request it first. Only two royals per person. Don't make two royals the same age unless they are twins.
2. I don't care about cussing honestly. Just don't throw the F-bomb everywhere because it makes people uncomfortable. If it was up to me, I wouldn't care but just for the benefit of other roleplayers. 
3. Try to use correct spelling and grammar. Please try to make more than a one sentence post, too. It's not required and I understand writer's block. 
4. No sexual details. 
5. Try to spark up long term drama. Not just something that's going to happen for a page only. 
6. Have well rounded characters. Try to make then unique. 
7. Don't be upset if you don't get the royalty you wanted and what not. 
8. I might add more rules later.

I decided just to do a description so many of them were ridiculosly provacative.

Anastasia was in the palace kitchen, where she most certainly shouldn't be. She was bothering Mikhail, who was preparing the next meal, just like the other cooks. Mikhail looked at her and laughed softly as she made faces to the other cooks who tried to shoo her out of the kitchen. Anastasia wore a elegent tan dress, with pink in the front and a baby blue sash. She had tan high heels on and walked around the kitchen boredly. Mikhail looked at her. Grand Duchess, you may want to get out of the kitchen. You may get something on your dress. Anastasia looked at him and stuck her tongue out. I'll be fine.  She said. Mikhail chuckled, shaking his head, and went back to chopping up meat. Anya saw an elegent, white cake that had four teirs and, when no one was looking, ran her finger on the top of the cake, just so it's not that noticable that there was some icing missing. She quickly licked her finger and washed her hands, drying them on a dish rag. 

Vaslii was exploring the palace. He looked for hidden stairs and passages. Whenever someone walked by, he would stand up straight and nod, acting like the good eight year old prince he was. Then he was go back to feeling the walls and looking under huge paintings. He wore a blue suit with padded shoulders. He ran a hand through his hair, annoyed that he couldn't find anything today. He loved adventure and exploring new things. He knew dinner would be starting soon, and he didn't have much time. 

Lolita was outside palace walls, wrapped up in a long jacket. Although it was big and thick, it was worn down and had many holes. She walked around, asking for money and mostly getting hard glares and mean insults. 

Irina walked, gracefully gliding through the large halls to where she knew her sister would be. The Grand Duchess's curls were pulled to the side and tied by a emerald green ribbon to match the skirt of her dress. The top of the elegant gown was covered with lace and had fitted sleeves that reached her elbow, the skirt a plain, yet dazzling emerald color green. "Anya." she called for her sister, drawing the name out  so it was said much longer. "Where are you sister?" she chirped again in her lovely voice.

Mikhail looked at Anya. I believe I hear someone calling your name. He said with a grin. Anastasia picked up her dress and left the kitchen, heading towards the voice. She saw Irina and smiled. Hello, Irina! She said with a slight twirl to her sister. She clasped her hands together and smiled cheerfully. Have you seen Vaslii. Mikhail said dinner will be soon, and he's no where to be seen. 

Irina smiled at the sight of her sister. "No, I haven't." Her brow furrowed slightly but then she grinned. "Why are you always in the kitchen Anya?" she asked with a teasing tone.  "Is there a boy in the kitchen you like? Someone your age?" she questioned with a smile.She started walking, pulling Anastasia gently  with her. "Vaslii." she said calling her little brothers name, just like she did with Anastasia's just a few moments ago, drawing it out. She kept doing so, but pausing, waiting for an answer from Anastasia about her teasing comments.

Anya blushed slightly. No! There is no boy. Even if there was, duchesses do not get involved with kitchen boys. She didn't say it snobbishly but more as if she was stating a fact. Along with Irina, she called out her brother's name. Vaslii heard them and groaned inwardly. He looked around and spotted the place where he would hide to hopefully get out of having to go to dinner. A long curtain, at the side of a huge window outlooking the palace's garden. He went behind it, making it sway slightly. He stood on his tippy toes so his feet wouldn't stick out. 

Irina rolled her eyes "Anya Elizabeth, don't lie to me. And you blushed like a cherry, so that gave you away." she said smiling, although the uncommon mixture of her nickname and middle name  made the first part of the sentence seem odd. She continued to call their brother, until she saw the curtains swaying, she put a finger over her lips and and pointed for Anya to see. She crept closer, making no sound, and scooped her little brother from the curtains gently.

Anastasia rolled her eyes slightly to her sisters comment. When Irina pointed to the curtains, she let out a small, inaudible giggle. When Irina scooped Vaslii up, he let out a small yelp. He looked at her and groaned. I don't want to got to dinner.

Irina made a sad face. "You don't want to have dinner with us?" she said  in a completely  fake sad voice while looking between him and Anya.With the looks she was giving her, she was urging Anya to play along. "That hurts my feelings. Don't you love us?" she said in the same fake , sad voice.
