I'm interested in starting a political character RP set in Plembobria. The story is based on Attorney General Martin Alastair, shrewd, and intelligent politician and lawyer.

Member of the junior party in the government coalition, he intends to become Prime Minister. Clearly this is going to be difficult. He's not a member of the ruling party, neither is he particularly eminent at the moment. Nothing will get in his way. Perhaps he will try to convince the leaders of his party to merge with the major one. How could he do this? The story takes place in light of the financial crisis.

This RP is intended to be a tale of corruption, intrigue, and scandal. Like House of Cards but not.

Suggestions for the plot are welcome. If you are interested in being involved, post. I may decide who your character's name and position is, but I intend to allow the participants quite a bit of discretion, within the framework of Plembobria's political system of course.

Foreign policy is really a backdrop here. And I don't want people who intend for their characters to bust Martin's schemes wide open and save the day.

That said, sign up!
 
I'd be interested in joining this. Could definitely play the patsy so to speak.
 
Ok if I make a character who's a Vazosi spy? Sounds like that would qualify for "corruption, intrigue, and scandal". :P
 
Here's my character:

John Truman (Trunedo) - Minister of Customs & Trade (TNL)

As his slightly dark complexion may suggest, John is of Vazosi ancestry. His third great-grandparents, Zalera and Keta Trunedo, were sent to Plembobria by the High King as spies. Under the guise of emigrants fleeing the repressive Vazosi government, the Trunedos (who Anglicized their name after attaining citizenship) were welcomed and quickly gained political prominence.

Although rumors of treason and affiliation with the Vazosi government have plagued his family in the past, John has managed to avoid suspicion so far. Despite this, John does secretly retain loyalty to Vazos and keeps the oaths made by Zalera and Keta long ago. Although his current Cabinet position is quite valuable to his efforts, John seeks a yet higher goal: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

While John has many friends among his fellow TNL members, Martin is the only one who is aware of John's loyalties. In exchange for John's loyalty in building up TNL, Martin has up to now been a trusted confidant and accomplice in the sale of state secrets to Vazos.
