This takes place around medieval times!
I don't want to reveal much of whats going to happen since the plot is based mostly on mystery but I'll say what I can about it.
So basically on the week you and a few other people are hired for a job working at the castle someone gets murdered! I won't say who because that's part of the plot but the queen declares all the new workers(a.k.a all you guys) as suspects plus a few other people who were close to the person(s) who got killed, the queen gives you a week to their figure out who killed them or provide good enough evidence to prove yourself innocent by the end of the week. During this time no one is allowed to leave the castle and no one does anything with out the queen's approval. If you fail to do prove yourself innocent or find the killer in the week she will 'personally' deal with all of the suspects

It's almost like a game of 'Clue' basically except there’s a time limit and you'll be killed if you don't solve the mystery
Don't worry none of you is the actual killer or the person(s) being killed you just have to prove that to the queen

Rules

1.
This will be turn based Going by the number next to you/ your characters name in the slots,( the other characters aren't restricted to turns they will respond to anyone who talks to them)

I will be "playing" as all the extra characters like the queen guards and the rest of the suspects so try not to talk to too many people at once even though there aren't many other people here it will get confusing if everyone goes by themselves to talk to different people



2. Gathering information can be tricky, most people won't just hand information over to a bunch of newbies, so there might be objects you have to find or people you have to talk to before gaining any clues. If you don't do these and just ask people there might be a possibility that they will lie to you.

3. Clues can be anything, a object, a quote, a small piece of fabric anything that can ether prove someone guilty or prove you're innocent. Clues can't come form other suspects even though they might be true the queen will not accept them as valid proof. Whenever you gain a clue I will make it be know, if someone is talking the clue will be bold and if you pick up an object, I will post saying you have earned a clue. After each clue is earned it will be submitted to the clue list so you don't have to keep track of everything.
Schedules, Each staff member has schedule, if you manage to get one of the staff members schedules it can be used as a clue or can be used to figure out where they will be at what time. These, are pretty hard to get

4. Passage of Time

Telling time:
Since you get a week to find enough clues to help you this will be timed, not a really life week of course more like this after enough things have happened I will say something like It's now 12:00 in the afternoon or something like that alerting everyone of the time. And I will also Alert you of what day it is/ how many days remain.

Example : 12:30 In the Afternoon, 6 Days left

Night Time:
Night Time is where all of you, come to one room to meet and discus come up with theories and figure out what you are going to try to do the next day. all in secret of course.

5. Exploring
Since this is kind of based of Clue you are only able to gain information forum the room you are in at the moment, to go into a room you would say something like Go to the Kitchen and that would be your turn but you can't say go to The Throne room if you are in the kitchen because there is no door from the kitchen to the throne room. Once you are in the room you can explore the room Ex:Explore the Kitchen and that would take up your turn. Talking and getting items work similarly.

with other subjects however if you enter a room and another suspect is already in there you can interact with them and it wouldn't take up another turn

6. Describing your characters thoughts/ emotions (kind of like an RP) are allowed in fact it is encouraged especially for talking since you have to decide what you are going to say to someone.

7. Skills
Skills are specific abilities or powers, that each ‘character’ has that makes them unique and gives them an advantage. These Skills also work into the ‘gameplay’ aspect of this as well. It could give them another turn or allow them to go places some others might not be able to go. Anything that will help your character gather clues. (Each Skill should be unique to everyone so no two people should have the same/ similar one.)

8. I know this is a lot of information to keep track of even for me so If I make a mistake or if you need something clarified don't be afraid to contact me and I'll fix it right away. If you have questions or are confused about something Message me I’m always happy to help, and don’t forget to be nice to others and be fair.

The Kingdom of Vridriweth

(most of this lore is un-important it's just describing how things are at the moment, except for the last few paragraphs those will help with filling out the forum if you are confused)

The kingdom is not the best everyone is sad and the King and queen rule with an iron fist, the king was never even supposed to be the King he won it unfairly, he challenged the old king to a duel if he killed the king he would take the throne. The old king being the old and delusional self he was accepted. But little did the old king know that his challenger possessed a power called Necrokinesis the ability to bring instant death upon someone. Once he won he took over the throne, commanding his people like they were nothing more than numbers and ruling with fear, no one dared oppose him. He still rules to this day along side his Queen and Ice witch together that had a daughter and a son it's believed they inherited their parents ability's but it has not been confirmed.


The queen has cast a spell around all the castle to keep the area around it forever cold and dark she finds it's how she likes it and the king never argues he say's it helps makes the castle look more intimidating.

In the castle the works are expected to always do what they are told never go where they aren't supposed to and to never question the royal family. Of course they all are to afraid to do anything less than perfect or do anything to anger the king or queen. All of the workers live in the castle their rooms are all in the west tower or " workers tower" which is the tower farthest away from the front of the castle it just so also happens to also be the area of the castle with the most guards outside.

The king and queen are special and they expect their workers to be the best of the best this is why the hire people who are not quite ordinary not as good as them though of course for example a guard may have enhanced strength or speed not to and over powering degree but better than just a normal human.

Yes that age thing is only for the charterer registration, the whole only allowing 13 to 15 year olds to play would be silly.

@ElwynWanderer

Lyra as a whole is good but I guess it would help for me to explain what a Quirk is.

so I'll put it in my own words and Link the google definition if that would help


https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Quirk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

But I'm using the word Quirk for what is unique skill your character has, for example (Again relating this back to clue) Each playable character in clue has a special you can use once per game and only the person playing as that character can play it.

Of course The Quirk for these characters would be more like "They can get information from others easier or they have a photographic memory so they know how to get to every part of the castle the fastest, or whatever

Looking at the last few paragraphs for the lore my help a little

Once you do that I will add her to the slots and character fourms
