Post by Anne Boleyn on Jun 9, 2010 0:39:07 GMT 1
1.) She is passionate. Her life is amazing & exciting. She lived a great love story. She was powerful. Her life was tragic & full of excitement. 2.) Wit, passion, glamour. Jealous, out-spoken, headstrong. 3.)I am in love with Anne Boleyn, I want to live her life (in a sense), I want to live the interaction between her & other characters, I want to feel the pressure she had & the love, and finally I want to feel her connections with her family, Henry, friends, as well as enemies. 4.) This is my first time here, & Central time. 5.) I walk up the stairs, I could see the men in their costumes as well as the viewers, & the "Dark Ladies". "Release these fair damsels you keep." says the head of the men. "NEVER!" said one of the ladies. I bent lower down to catch a full view. I saw one of the men looking at me, it might be the King, i thought. I guess I was out wondering for a long time because before I knew it, the head man yelled "Attack!" and I saw the man, the King, coming towards me. He said "Perseverevce, you are my prisoner now." I remembered what my father told me and tore my hand away from his grip. As I was walking down a man got my hand and lead me to the dance floor. I looked at the man, who looked quite athletic but, I know what I am supposed to do, as a lady untied my mask and I took it off. I smiled as I found out it is Charles Brandon, and I also saw The King looking at me. We danced as I looked at Charles, we turned & there I was with The King. He asked "Who are you?" I looked at him & said "Im...Anne Boleyn." And we turned and there I was with Charles again. The dance ended, I smiled, I bowed, & left. ACCEPTED |

This is for Anne Boleyn 1. I like to give people the sense that Anne was just a girl in a situation. To show the remarkable woman she was in history to help start the reformation, so Henry could marry her. Anne really did love Henry. To show she went from a lady to a Marquess to a Queen. She had a great life and gave birth to a wonderful queen. 2. She was able to get what she wanted, loving, passionate. Faults: Outspoken, headstrong, pushed Henry's limits 3. I love Anne Boleyn. I love to find the innocence in her life. Have people see she was a girl in a situation. Her life was very interesting. I want her to live and interact with people. 4. How often? Umm...I go on other forums everyday, always find time to roleplay with people, on for about five hours. Eastern Atlantic Time 11:08 am right now 5. I walked through the glittering halls of Whitehall Palace. Henry had asked to see me. My footsteps echoed quietly in the already busy hallways it was only dawn. I walked into Henry's Privy chamber and gave a short curtsy. "Henry, darling you wished to speak to me?" I asked him looking up at him. He was standing there before me with his back towards me.

1.she is my role model!she was brave and a woman that had nothing to do with the standards of her century!Her life is really interesting and tragic.she was the mothe of Elizabeth The I! 2.Brave,strong-minded,stand for herself.Jealous,too much ambitious,not like the way she treated some matters for instance princess Mary. 3.Because I admire Anne...as I've mentioned she is my role model...I want to live her life in some way because I always wanted to be like her..I have been Anne in other forums too and I'd like to do my best... 4.As often as i can..I'm a student so I have to study but I'm going to do my best! 5.I am pregnant and new hope grows in me!Forgive me,Elizabeth but my prayers of late are that this child is a boy,Henry's prince and our saviour.This hope once fulfilled,will restore my place and power on the throne.So,my star has risen once again,and I am Henry's only sweetheart!He dotes upon me more than ever now,keeping me close by his side in all things.The child within me brought a healthy roundness to my cheeks and what wrinkles round my eys and mouth had appeared,I fight with several applications of quicksilver which,did their wondrous work to leave my face smooth.Well The May Day Revels did provide me an opportunity to shine.I danced and I was so pleased to see the king gazing on me proudly!Henry was happy...I could see this clearly...so was I!But it seems that this happiness did not last.....Henry's late betrayment.He has made a mistress!My maid of honour Jane Seymour,is my new replacement!oh...I'm so angry.....No one thinks she has much beauty...so how does this plain Jane ispire such a passionate affection from the king..?Henry is bessoted in a wya I have never seen before,save with his love for me.I admit I've lost all my patience.

Post by Eleanor Brandon on Jun 14, 2010 3:42:27 GMT 1
OK, so I'd like to play Eleanor Brandon. I wasn't sure if you needed an audition for her (she's canon but doesn't seem to be more than an historical footnote) but I figured best to be sure. So... 1.) First of all, I like that there doesn't seem to be much known about her. So I have freedom to make her up. I imagine her as daring, sarcastic, temperamental, and passionate, which are all traits I like in a person. 2.) Sort of partly covered... Traits: Daring, sarcastic, loyal (if you earn her loyalty, which isn't easy) Faults: Doesn't always think things through, can hold a grudge, has a temper 3.) Again, she's canon, so I don't have to make up a backstory, but not well known, so I have freedom to reinvent her. Also, I find the 'background characters' more interesting in some ways. I didn't want to play Margaret since she'll be dead soon, and I thought being her daughter was a nice compromise. I play a younger version of Eleanor elsewhere and I'm looking forward to playing her as a young adult, not an eight-year-old. It'll be interesting to play someone tied to the royal family, but not too close that she's a threat for the succession. 4.) Eastern Standard Time, and during the summer, I can come once a day, between 9 and 11 PM my time. During the school year... Probably more often, especially on weekends, but I'll get back to you on that since I'm not sure what my schedule will be till I go back. 5.) Ella glanced around the Great Hall as she entered, wondering if her father had arrived back yet. She wasn't sure she wanted to talk to him if he had, but it would be best to know, so she could avoid him if she still felt like being angry. She did see her sister, though, watching the Boleyn woman surrounded by sycophants, so she headed that way. Frances glanced over as Ella came to her side, disgust in her eyes. "I don't know what he sees in that cheap nothing," Frances said. Ella rolled her eyes. "Well, she is seductive, and he's male, sister dear. What do you think he sees in her, dear sister? And of course, there's that need for a son, and such a young woman can give him one. Or so he thinks." "He's foolish." "But he's the King, so he can do no wrong. Didn't you know that, Frances?"

1. Why do you like the character you want to play? Give approximately five reasons why. I think that Katherine was much too young and naive to become Queen or the ideal consort that Henry was looking for so I feel sorry for her as she wasn't exactly given a very good chance in life. I like her as she was spirited young girl, she was another of Henry's unlucky wives, I actually liked her portayal in The Tudors though I have to admit the execution scene pissed me off (not sure if this counts! ;D ) Umm...ok up to three possibly four...I feel that she didn't have a decent stab at life as she was beheaded, never had children, married Henry. 2. Present three qualities and three faults in your character's personality. Qualities - A lively happy person Young and carefree Vivacious Faults - Naive Not devout or well educated Impulsive 3. Why do you want to play this character? Give approximately five reasons why. 1) I like Katherine as a historical character. 2) I'm interested in her life and history. 3) I'd like to perhaps portray another side to her or develop her story a bit more. 4) Portray her as an innocent, naive young girl who was easily led and not too clever. 5) Generally explore her character and her thoughts & feelings. 4. How often can you come and play your character? What time of the day? What's your Time zone? As often as possible, daily though I occasionally have a break every now and then! ;D I live in England, so time zone is Greenwich Mean time? Or something along those lines anyway! 5. A writing sample is necessary in order to complete this application. Compose a post, including dialogue and descriptions so we can see just how you intend to play this character. Ten lines will be sufficient. Katherine found herself retracing her steps several times, whilst she attempted to think things through. This Thomas Culpepper appeared to show many signs of interest in her and he seemed nice enough...besides Henry was an old, smelly and very fat man! She knew that it was being insulting to her soverign, lord and husband but it was true! She wasn't sure if she could take it anymore, making love to him was like forcing a horrible liquid down your throat or...her thoughts were disturbed as she heard a sharp knock at the door. Preparing herself incase it was Hnery she cleared her throat and spoke,Come in. The door opened to reveal Joan Bulmer and Jane Rochford entering, they seemed a little worried she thought.Joan, Jane. What is it? Is there any news from...Culpepper? She coughed nervously and whispered his name as if the very walls might here her betrayal or weaknesses.Hope that's ok!  I probably should have created an account... ACCEPTED |

Post by Anne of Cleves on Jul 8, 2010 21:39:31 GMT 1
1. Why do you like the character you want to play? Give approximately five reasons why.I like Anne of Cleves, because she is so different than the other wifes of Henry VIII. (1). She also has adjusted to a life in a country so different and far away from her own (2). Despite being often described as just moderately intelligent, she managed to live the longest of all of Henrys wifes (3) and with that she also gained a freedom, she would have never had if she had been married to someone or would have returned to her brother (4) Finally I like her because despite her divorce she still had a good relationship to the king and the royal family (5).
2. Present three qualities and three faults in your character's personality.Anne of Cleves was a very kind woman, who was often described as nice and proper. She was later after ending the marriage with Henry known as "benevolent lady" because of her generousity. She also has gotten conservative education and learned stitching and sewing. However she did not learn foreign languages, singing or making music with an instrument. Also she is very naive, and maybe sheltered too much. Also she is pretty shy especially towards men. 3. Why do you want to play this character? Give approximately five reasons why.I want to play Anne of Cleves, because first of all she is german like me and I kind of like to play characters from the same country as I am from (1). Besides of that I think she is (just for me personally) the most intresting wife of Henry VIII.(2), mainly because she usually is portrayed the shortest in the film and series adaptions, because of the short marriage. Then there is also the question why there is the rumor that she was ugly, was she really ugly? Did Henry VIII. think so or was it just a story made up to get away from her? That is something I want to see work out in the rp. (3) This awkward relationship between her and Henry seems also really intresting. (4) Besides of that she leaves me much room for interpretation of how to play her (5). Also I think her story is really sad and because of that even more intresting to play (6). I think Joss Stones portrait of Anne of Cleves was good, but I kinda like to portrait her myself as how I think she was. (7) 4. How often can you come and play your character? What time of the day? What's your Time zone?GMT +1 and how often i can come depends really, usually pretty often. 5. A writing sample is necessary in order to complete this application. Compose a post, including dialogue and descriptions so we can see just how you intend to play this character. Ten lines will be sufficient.((this takes place 5 years ago in the storyline... Anne is 12)) It was a cold day in winter, the not so distant lake was already frozen and the needle forest was painted in silver and white and still it was exactly this day that Anne had chosen to go out. She really liked snow it was so beautiful and in a way mystical, if it wouldn't be as cold as it was, she would even love it more. However despite the fact that the weather was to Annes delight, she was pretty sad, her sister had moved away not so long ago, to marry some guy Anne had never seen before and now she was alone, alone with her brother and with Amalia, both of which she did not want to see today. Yesterday they had called her mean names just because she was a bit chubby. The young girl made a sulking mouth, that was unfair, especially since her brother wasn't much thinner as well. A sigh escaped her, she just wanted to be alone, away from all those who were mean to her. But of course she wouldn't be left alone, just a few moments after she had stepped out of the door she heard a voice behind her. "Anne, where do you think you are going?", it was the voice of her father and it was pretty serious. "I thought... I wanted...", she looked at him he seemed to be not happy seeing her outside alone, "Nothing...."Her father sighed at that, he saw that his daughter wasn't so happy. "Anne I just don't want you to go outside alone, you don't know what could happen young lady. But if it lightens you up, I think your mother likes the snow just as much as you do, so see her, maybe she will accompany you outside."The young girl was feeling better after hearing her fathers words, she understood that he was worried, but on the other hand, she sometimes liked to be alone, without anyone even her mother. Still she followed her fathers wish to go inside and see her, with a nod a curtsey and an: "Alright milord...", she moved back inside as fast as she could. ACCEPTED

1. Why do you like the character you want to play? Give approximately five reasons why. I like Charles Brandon because: 1.) he is lively and playful. 2.) he knows what he wants and goes after it. 3.) he was a good friend to the king. 4.) he had a lot of women in his life but treated them well if he cared about them. 5.) he was very handsome and attracted a lot of attention. 2. Present three qualities and three faults in your character's personality. Qualities: good-natured, loyal to his friends, friendly. Faults: impulsive, not as loyal to women, stubborn. 3. Why do you want to play this character? Give approximately five reasons why. I want to play this character because 1.) he is an integral part of the site 2.) no one else is playing him and I want to  3.) I like his personality 4.) I think he is an interesting historical figure 5.) there need to be more manly men around here… 4. How often can you come and play your character? What time of the day? What's your Time zone?

Compose a post, including dialogue and descriptions so we can see just how you intend to play this character. Ten lines will be sufficient. Charles bowed to Mary, a playful smirk upon his lips as he did so. He wondered what she was thinking. “You know, Mary, I do not recall if I have ever seen you looking quite as ravishing as you do this evening,” he commented slyly, turning to face her as the dance began. He was rewarded only with a snarky remark about how his flattery would get him nowhere. In response to this, he put a hand to his heart dramatically, pretending to have been stabbed. “Princess! You wound me so,” he sighed, though the perpetual grin on his face said otherwise. He was far from harm: more physically fit than most other men his age, in everything from horseback riding to fencing, even to dancing. However, even though he was good at just about everything, and could get any woman who he might have wanted, the woman he loved the most stood there before him, and he could not have her.

Post by Jane Seymour on Aug 23, 2010 8:43:32 GMT 1
1. Why do you like the character you want to play? Give approximately five reasons why. (1) I want to play Jane Seymour because she was a return to a proper queen after Henry married Anne Boleyn. (2) She was the only wife that gave Henry his male heir, which was why she was his most beloved wife. (3) Jane was very loyal and kind to those around her. (4) She was the first to attempt to put the royal family together. (5) Though she had a short reign as queen, most historians don't focus on her life before becoming a queen. 2. Present three qualities and three faults in your character's personality. Jane is loyal, conservative, and quiet. However, Jane does have some faults. She can be stubborn, not as highly educated as some women of her status, and she's judgmental. 3. Why do you want to play this character? Give approximately five reasons why. (1)I wanted a character that would be minor now, but will become important later on. I like building plots for the future. (2)Jane is an interesting character and not too many people have done Jane as a maid-of-honor to Catherine at this time. (3)It would be interesting to see how Jane would interact with both queens before she would become queen herself. (4) The character is open. (5) I wanted to play a straight laced character. 4. How often can you come and play your character? What time of the day? What's your Time zone? I can come on almost everyday. I'll check a few times in the morning, but I will mostly be on at night, after 8pm. My time zone is EST. 5. A writing sample is necessary in order to complete this application. Compose a post, including dialogue and descriptions so we can see just how you intend to play this character. Ten lines will be sufficient. Jane walked through the corridor with a pitcher of water in her hand. A few men turned to bow their head in recognition and Jane bowed her head in return. She was walking briskly now because the Queen had asked for water fifteen minutes ago. The Queen was distraught with news of the divorce. It was a shame what was happening to her mistress. Jane respected Catherine and couldn't imagine why the King, let alone any man, would want to divorce the Queen. The woman was the paragon of a good Catholic Queen. Catherine had done what was ask of her except to bare a male heir. It was horrible to think that Henry may have just wanted the divorce just on those grounds, but it was necessary as a ruler to ensure the future. The room was just around the corner. Jane turned and then took a few more steps before reaching the door. She knocked on it twice and waited for one of the other maid-of-honors answer the door. "I have the water for the Queen," Jane said showing the pitcher of water to the other woman. The woman nodded and Jane quickly stepped in. She poured a tall glass of water for the Queen. Then, she walked over to Catherine. "Ma'am," she said offering the glass to the Queen. "I'm sorry for taking so long." She kept her eyes casted downward as she waited for Catherine to take the glass from her. ACCEPTED [/center] |
