" strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter "

family color: sunstone family crest: brown bear family trade: banking / finance the name beausoleil is synonymous with wealth. as the keeper of the coins, many have their hard-earned money held within one of the beausoleil’s many banks. known for being fair with their interest rates and offering a delay in payment when the loaner is down on their luck, the beausoleils have garnered a spectacular reputation with the people and members of the ton. with the family being the royal accountant and manager of the royal treasury, it seems natural that many would want to align their fate with theirs. but, that would be a mistake as the beausoleils have been removed from royal favor, ousted by the pernicious estaris. for many years the beausoleils walked beside the royal family, their steps only slightly behind the royals. but, a disagreement with the late queen and the late duke forced the family from their beloved position. but with a new king and a new beausoleil head, maybe this is the best chance for the family to return to the royal family’s side and remove the estaris’ from the ton.

" power is not about control, it's about influence "

family color: emerald family crest: fox family trade: technology ( steam engines, etc.) the sudden rise in influence and relevance of the estaris family in recent years shocked those who were not paying attention. the family has focused on supporting the latest technological inventions which has garnered them much wealth and control over the majority of england’s most sought-after technologies. with the stream engine coming into fashion and hurling the country into the industrial revolution, the estaris are at the forefront of that change, making them the family others would want to align themselves with. the royal family understood this and brought the estaris to their side as their most trusted and loyal ally. as the royal family's advisor and secret keeper, the estaris hold political influence and sway that almost matches the royal family’s. it is a position that benefits them greatly and they are not looking to lose it, especially to the family they stole the position from - the beausoleils.

" heavy is the head that wears the crown "

family color: amythest family crest: panther a dynasty that has spanned over three centuries, there is no doubt about the royal family's power. to survive numerous wars, coups, and a couple of assassination attempts, the starlings have held onto the crown with a soft but imposing grip. the starlings do not rule using fear and violence but have mastered the art of soft politics and social manipulation, though they are not afraid to use a heavier hand when required. the royal family is now facing another crisis threatening their carefully crafted power. with their failure to secure the french crown and much-needed alliance through a royal marriage and the recent passing of their most beloved queen, the starlings have to keep the appearance that nothing has changed and their power is as strong as before; an advantageous marriage for their newly crown king would do just that.

Will it be first come first serve for the acceptances?

nope! seeing as the server has a mun count / limited space, i want to make sure everyone that applies has the intention of staying with the rp for a good while. plus, i want to ensure that the accepted muses all mesh well with each other. really a perfect app for me shows thoughtfulness to the lore and established family dynamics in terms of how your muse will fit ( or go against the established status quo ), a clearly defined characterization, and just excitement for the rp. i think the app is still pretty short with the two additional developmental questions.

[rosehavenhq]

So excited for this rp and I am already crafting my character as we speak !

i am so excited and curious about the type of muses people will bring. can i get a little sneak peak of what is going inside your head nooni? i really just want to get my hands on all the delicious drama so if anyone wants to give me any spoilers... the inbox is open !

[rosehavenhq]

what muses will you be playing???

apologies for the late reply noonie! i took some time this weekend to touch grass and i had some things at work i needed to catch up on today. but! i am really excited about the muses i made for this rp and i hope you guys will enjoy them as much as i did when creating them

miss sabine auclair ( 38, played by gugu mbatha - raw ): the owner of the modiste, she is the secret keeper of the ton though she never promised that those secrets would stay with just her. her application can actually be viewed as the sample application in the app form and if anyone is thinking of applying for the beausoleil or chandra head, i have the juiciest wanted connection for you.

princess evangeline starling ( 32, played by arsema thomas ): following the death of her husband, the former heir to the french throne, evangeline was supposed to marry his sister and solidify her status as the future queen of france. yet, his sister had secretly wed the love of her life, and her wife was poised to take the title evangeline spent years coveting. ashamed, evangeline had to return back home only to be faced with the death of her mother two days after she reached the english shores. evangeline is really a study of grief, the guilt of moving on and continuing to live when those you care about are gone, plus she has to keep up the charade that everything is fine within the royal household, even though the truth is the opposite.

lady juiletta amira chandra ( 27, played by charitha chandran ): the second youngest chandra, juiletta's laughter and blushing cheeks are well known to the ton. perceived as innocent and inguine, juiletta plays into those rumors, never committing to any of her suitors. constantly moving and searching, the question is what is she actually searching for?

lady genevieve yue ( 25, played by shen xiaoting ): genevieve is really my interpretation of the disney princess belle with a mix of eloise bridgerton thrown in. a bookworm, gwen finds more joy in the words and worlds found bound into the pages of a book than in the world around her. while she looks demure, her biting tongue is the opposite. while she has been able to delay her debut for four years ( the earliest one can debut is 21), as the youngest yue, it was no longer tolerated for her to not be in society. not looking forward to her debut and season, gwen is going to try her best to stay unnoticed in terms of courting. though, maybe someone will change her mind.

i want to update this answer as i decided to only take applications and reservations through the tumblr for new members. accepted members can send me additional applications through the discord.

will you be accepting applications via tumblr or discord?

both! while i would prefer the applications to go through the discord server as it is easier for me to see who is applying and track applications, because acceptances will occur three times a week it should be fine. however, the rp will be on discord and when submitting via tumblr you cannot submit on anon.

[rosehavenhq]

hi tags~ i just wanted to pop in to give a timeline of things as we get closer to opening! as usual, feel free to send any asks to the inbox! - the debut of the families: the week of november 3rd - inbox opening for reservations and applications: november 12 - first acceptance: when we have received applications from 7 unique muns/writers

[rosehavenhq]

i am literally preparing my applications for this group omg

and i am so happy you are excited nooni! this rp has been sitting in my brain for a couple of months and i am honestly so happy to finally get it down and share it with everyone!!!! my goal is to get the family information out next week and work on the discord + pinterest until opening!

i'm PUMPED! my god! i really want to bring a queer character. how will the rp handle queer muses in this period?

as a queer and bipoc individual myself, i knew if i was going to make a period rp, i was also not going to include the regency era's racism, homophobia, patriarchy, and other outdated ideals. so in our rp, queer muses are handled with modern moralities - no one will bat an eye, and are highly accepted. it's more scandalous to kiss someone of a lesser title than you behind the hedge bushes than the person's gender. we also have non-binary titles and addresses included in our lore such as princen, duchem, marquem, countem, vis, barum, ser, lairde and mx. i am always open to ideas and suggestions to make the server more inclusive as i don't know everything and really rely on research and feedback from my brainstorming team and other writers.

[rosehavenhq]

will you be having a lady whistledown type character/mechanic?

i am not the biggest fan of gossip mechanics in rps as every time i have joined a server with a gossip type blog, the writers would utilize it to bully muses and other writers. however, i do like the idea of having a paper or weekly column that provides necessary societal updates to the muses and also let the writers stay inform of all the shenanigans going on as it can be hard to keep track of everything outside of your own plots.

[rosehavenhq]

good morning tags! i just want to say thanks for all the interest in the server! a couple of my friends have offered to help me with the last bits of planning so i no longer need a co-admin. based on the results of the poll yesterday, i will add some light muse ideas for a few of the family members! unless i get any questions in the inbox, i will slow down my communications on this blog until opening! i have decided to accept applications and reservations only through the tumblr and off anon/discord name attached. hopefully, that will make things fairer for everyone and the process easier for me. feel free to send any questions and i'll talk to everyone soon!

[rosehavenhq]

morning tags! i will be lurking all day today while i suffer at my job so feel free to send me any questions or just general buzzing! in the meantime, i will drop a quick poll as this been sitting on my mind while i worked on the family descriptions last night.

[rosehavenhq]

hello! are you still taking reservations? i tried dming this tumblr but it wasn't letting me

hi nonnie! i had it set to only followers could message the account, but i believe i have fixed that! i won't be accepting any reserves until i have posted the families' information, which will be towards the end of october / beginning of november. however, i can offer you the titles and the ethnicity of each of the families to help spur some creative juices!

the starlings: the royal family, all members of the family must be black. the beausoleils: they hold a dukedom and all members are black the estaris': they hold a dukedom and all members are filipino. the chandras: they hold a marquisdom and all members are indian. the solaris: they hold an earldom and all members are ethnicities that are not represented in any of the other families the yues: they hold a viscountcy and all members are chinese. the moons: they hold a barony and all members are korean.

a month out soooo why are you in the tags already?

so i debated if i wanted to answer this or not, but i figured what the hell. to be honest, i miss the old days of rp where you could buzz a server for a month or two, gain some hype and interest plus have the opportunity to get to know the admin, and track the development of the rp. i guess it is more common now to just drop the server when it is finished and hope for the best, but i thought it would be more fun this way. plus a month does go by pretty quickly.

[rosehavenhq]

when are you opening?

tentatively, i am hoping to drop the server and open reserves the week of november 10th with the first acceptance date tbd. i will probably wait for about 6 apps from 6 unique muns to set that date.
