aHello guys! Today I'm here to talk to you about a cool idea I wanna introduce to you. c:
And that idea is....
Or known as "The Only Roses"
But Chiyo? What is this? Well, listen and you'll find out, buddy.
TMP, or TOR, whichever you wanna refer to it as, is a big project in the works. My hope is to try to get as many people as possible to join into this rp (which will have events and planned out locations, occupations, etc.) The reason why is because I've noticed many roleplays with so much potiental, simply going to waste. Why? Because of a lack of proper description, detail, and people. So, I hope to re-create that with this project. And all the help I need from you guys is your participation. No other work is required.
Below is some of the things I hope and plan to detail out in this project.
As well as FAQ and Rules. If we can get together enough people, I might have to eventually get people to keep things in check. Your free to ask whatever questions. I welcome them, actually.I love answering FAQS
Art is still being worked on, so the Medieval Project isn't open quite yet. However, soon I'll be putting up forms to allow people to sign-up early.

Occupations!
Thats right! Your character can have an occupation, and or will be given one based on age and skills. Your character will be expected to go to work at certain times, will have certain pay-days. All those things most roleplays fail to keep up with! All occupations will stick to medieval standards.
A list of the occupations are below! If you wish to be assigned a job, or simply choose one for your character, you will be informed what time your job begins and ends.
You can even be a king and queen! Or a princess!

Proper Time-zone!
The roleplay is expected and planned to have a custom time passing that should hopefully befit and work well for everyone. Many features of the roleplay will be planned around this time-zone, to make it as entertaining as possible! Mods and any active roleplayers can simply post the current time, or you could ask for the current time and finally get a proper answer. c;
Many Different Species (Fantasy & Real!)
You wanna be an angel or a demon? An Elf? How about a simple cow? Well, you can be 'em! The list ranges as far as kitsunes to goblins! You can be a simple human, or a mighty dragon! If you want, you can even personally request a custom species of your own! As long as it meets requirements, it'll be gladly accepted! An animal or a human. A pet or a beast. A mage or a witch. The choice is yours!
Many Different Locations!
A location for creatures, people, and jobs of all sort! A kingdom and courtyard for the royal family! A village for the villagers to mingle! A hideout for devious thieves! Many locations to hang out and interact with others! And, just like species, your welcome to request a new location! Who knows, maybe you'll be able to visit other islands?
Currency!
You want to buy that house? Alright, pay up. Not that kinda currency. Don't you have any sort of currency from this place?
Thats right. Money. If you wanna get anywhere in life, you gotta have money. If you wanna buy that pretty cottage, then your gonna have to earn the money for it. No more rich shopping sprees with friends with endless money! Too bad banks don't exist, huh?
You better start working then! Because all money you gain from any sort of odd jobs and work will be kept track of. c:

FAQ
Q: Where is the rules section?
A: The rules section will only be important when the roleplay starts. So it will be posted later on.
Q: Why did you choose Medieval of all themes?
A: Because Medieval was such a crazy and great era! I always loved it (besides the Feudal era), and I felt pretty disappointed that it was never played on much. After a short roleplay set in Medieval times, I realized that I wanted this project to be set in that time too.
Q: When will this be done/ When can we start putting forms?
A: I'll probably put up the form and have people PM them to me. As for the first question, can't say for sure, but it shouldn't be too long.
Q: Is this a website? Or just something on here? Like a private PM?
A: Nope. Its just something on here. Probably in a PM, but possibly not if people find it a nuisance. I have considered making it a website, but I feel its too early. Past experiences with websites have shown me that starting too early with a website can be a bad thing.
