Finding Players (Recruitment)Look for players for chatroom, play-by-post, or even real-life games here. Threads will expire after 3 months, so be sure to move important information to your OOC thread.
Is there anyone who's willing to play some maid as it's meant to be played? event-oriented and done in a matter of a few hours if played real life.
I will be taking a scenario from the rulebook which is called 'Maids Take The Stage' and the rules for your Maid-creation is below.
Character Creation
Spoiler
Follow the book with these few exceptions and changes. :3
Using the switch-rule is totally alright.
you have 3 qualities, Roll for 2 of them and choose the last one.
Roll for a physical and mental complex as well.
Maid Roots are not to be rolled for, however, a special kind of maid root will be given to each maid by me.
Comforting, seduction and romance rules are used as well, but please, don't overdo it.

Sorry for the posts, I'm on a roll ^^ Will work out a fleshed out character soon
EDIT: From what I gather my girl is a contrast of character- dark outfit/eyes/hair and pale skin, confident demeaner with a dependent personality, fully developed body with a boyish fashion sense. It seems appropriate I take the Yin-Yang symbol and theme her outfits on the contrasts present in that. Thoughts?

Spoiler
Indifferent (Luck +1)
Regardless of what you yourself might want, you have come
here because of your parents’ or family’s selfish desires. Rather
than putting up a fight, you wound up here by going with the
flow. Put simply, you are in no way motivated. As such, you have
a -1 penalty to the die roll for trying to seduce the Master.
Shadow Blade
Spoiler
Talented Lady (Skill +1)
You were not born to power or resources, but your exceptional
talents brought you here. However, the Master you’re
confronted with does not seem worthy of your talents, and
you’re filled with despair. As a result, unless you have been
seduced by him, you receive one less point of Favor every
time the Master awards you some.
Jamieth
Spoiler
Unrequited Childhood Friend
You knew the Master when you were both very young. He
had not yet discovered love, but you were very much in
love with him. You are seduced by the Master at the start of
the scenario. This is a big plus, but there are plenty of places
where it can work against you.
Charisma Thief
Spoiler
Princess (Luck +1)
You were raised by a high-class family without experiencing
any sort of discomfort. You’re less than thrilled about living as
a maid, but it might be worth it to find a suitable marriage
partner. However, you can’t help but look down on the other
maids. Unless you yourself are seduced, you cannot seduce
other maids.

Background:
Spoiler
Alexis has arrived in the city many years ago when she was 14. Ever since, she has worked as a maid for a Lord Trynon in his mansion as a simple job. She has proven herself a fast learner and a very eager maid to please anybody and make them smile.
She has often spent a lot of her down time tending to the grounds, daydreaming about any little thing to enter her mind as she walked through the shade. If she is daydreaming or not, she can always be seen with a smile on her face and a bounce in her step.
When she was starting out at the mansion, the head maid at the time, god rest her soul, has introduced Alexis to drinking as a release and reward to a hard days work. Since she has started she has used it often as a form of release, and has build up a small immunity to it, and such, can easily outdrink a sailor.
A few weeks ago, Master Trynon has passed away, and with no direct heir, the family has decided to split the wealth, including the mansion. This placed all the maids and servants out of work, although the last payment was certainly enough to cover them until they found a new job.
Now, Alexis has seemed to have found a new job as another maid. This time to a Master Michael. Hopefully this would job would be just as enjoyable as the last...
Physical Appearence:
Spoiler
Alexis stands roughly 5'8" with a pretty slim figure, her soft mocha tone skin feels as smooth as it looks, and her long Indigo hair falls behind her to the small of her back and tow long braids hanging from her temples, and a few bangs hanging on her forhead, just abover her big, snow white, eyes.
Alexis' maid outfit is a light blue with a dark blue trimmed blouse, a dark blue skirt, a light blue apron and headdress and white stalkings with a pair of dark blue heels strapped to her feet. However, she is constantly adjusting her skirt to try and cover her behind, which she finds is WAY too big. She maybe wouldn't mind so much if the front matched but... oh well.
If anything is wrong, please let me know and I will switch it. :)

Background:
Spoiler
Katherine is, so to speak, a hereditary maid; her mother was working for lord Michael's parents, and it was then when Katherine first caught a glance of the masters' child. Quite naturally, she had a childhood crush for the adorable boy; quite naturally, it wasn't going to be, and eventually, she was forbidden from seeing young master. Even leaving a difference in social standing aside, in her early teens the girl suffered from a mysterious decease which left her blind, and her eyes a... somewhat weird sight. (There was one more aftereffect for the decease, namely, she now tends to overheat rather easily, but she rarely mentions it when talking about herself, finding it both insignificant and somewhat embarassing. Still, to combat this effect, she tries to take showers at least three times a day, more on hot or hard days). Rather than falling in despair, though, this actually gave the girl a hope - nothing prevented her from staying close to lord Michael if she couldn't see him anyway! And, miraculously, these hopes are now seem to be coming true, as someone remembered about her and invited her as a maid to the lord Michael's new personal mansion! And... even more, apparently, one of the maids would be chosen to become Master's spouse! This is one battle Katherine isn't going to lose.
Despite her blindness, she is a competent maid - one would deduce she would be faultless if she could actually see what she's doing. She can find her way around the mansion just fine thanks to the combination of good memory, sharp hearing and smell and, it sometimes seems, some kind of a sixth sense.
One more thing needs to be mentioned; Katherine is knows to, when cracking down, hoarding lots of random objects - from pens and postcards, to jewelry and master's clothes, inside her room, claiming "she needs to know where exactly to find them, in case."
Physical Appearence:
Spoiler
Katherine is a red-headed girl with a freckled face; indeed, as a kid she did resemble Pippi Longstocking. As she grew older, some of that was gone, of course - for example, she now wears her hair in a simple, middle-length style which doesn't require much care. She stands at 5'6", slightly skinny, slightly pale, and she wears her indigo-and-white colored uniform with pride and stature.
For now, I can't think of a way to incorporate her Mental complex - doesn't really mixes in with her blindness...
You have all just been hired for the competition of becoming Michael's wife, and are at the moment of gamestart, arriving outside the gate to the mansion.
Summary
The maids are brought to a mansion inaccessible to the outside world, where they live with the boy who is their Master, and a butler. The boy will one day wield enormous power, but right now he is weak-willed and not at all ready. Thus the true purpose for the maids coming here is to find the woman who can walk with him and open his heart. In other words, one maid will be chosen to become forever linked to him, and wield that enormous power.
