WELCOME

Kingsgate House is a literate historical roleplay based on an Edwardian country house, the family who owns it, and the servants who keep its cogs turning. In a time of whimsy, aristocracy and propriety, life is quaint and beautiful for those born to riches and privilege, but bitter and unrelenting for those born to serve them. The great manors in the English countryside are outward displays of wealth and house the most affluent of families, yet their cogs are only kept turning by the legions of household staff who are every bit as alive as their masters. The century is young here at Kingsgate, and you are welcome to see where it takes you...

SETTING

It is Week Two of December 1906, and Kingsgate is feeling the chill. Be careful not to slip on the ice outside. The pond in the woods has frozen over and the village children have been playing on it. Lady Elizabeth's birthday is coming up next week and some of the many esteemed guests who shall be attending are already heading to Kingsgate for an extended stay.

Sorry everyone, I guess it's time to pack up the shop on this one - it was just too difficult to get active interest in such a niche RP site. It was a fun experiment though, and I'm glad for the RP we got to have. Much love <3

STAFF

SCENARIO

"WELCOME TO KINGSGATE"
In 1906, the beautiful country manor named Kingsgate House is a social centre for the Edwardian upper class. The Penroses have run it for generations and are well-established among the aristocrats of England. Lord Carmarthen's father died twenty years ago and since then things have been peaceful in the idyll of aristocratic life, the master living comfortably with his wife and their four children, Elizabeth, Kate, Edward and Annie.

But with Elizabeth and Kate reaching adulthood and the marriage scene, life is about to fill with propitious politics and a flurry of suitors which will only be topped when Edward too comes of age. And are the Lord and Lady really as happy in their marriage as they seem? What of the staff, who keep the house tiding over, but are involved in their own fierce system of power and politics? Life is never as simple as it first seems.

It was a magical battle of epic proportions between the Two Brothers, representing Marvel and DC. But it was too much for even them to foresee and all the energy merged Marvel and DC. But it also pulled in the smaller universes of Image and Dark Horse. War broke out, each team, hero and villain trying to prove themselves the best in either universe. That was 30 years ago. Now Checkmate has proven themselves superior while other teams have merged. The Justice League and the Avengers became the League of Avengers. Young Justice, Teen Titans and Young Avengers became the Young Titans.

Now a new generation has risen up, along side a few other heroes or villains who can't bring themselves to retire just yet. Between the increase in the amount of Meta-Humans and mutants possibly due to HYDRA, an outbreak of zombies in Georgia and another explosion in the increase and awareness of Vampires. Now the question is which side will you take in this battle? Will you stand up for the good like heroes before you or destroy the world like the villains wanted to do?
