The Enchanted Castle Cliché RP Prompts

For just about every fantasy novel, it's there. Look close enough and I'm sure you'll see it, or some modern version of it. The "Enchanted Castle" is a certain cliché that has withstood the trails of time and can be used in many different ways. These prompts are a few of my takes on said cliché. After all, some tropes just shouldn't be messed with.





Prompt #1 - The Inventor and the Beast

You come from a long line of inventors, each and every one well educated with a knack for knick knacks. Sadly, this does not help you much in your current situation. After your mother passed away from the plague, your father whisked you away out to the country to live in a small, small village with one shabby library and the nearest town is a day away. That's if you travel by horse, and you did not stop to rest. Thankfully, you and your father was still able to make little toys and such to sell in the market. He had left with a shipment of music boxes recently, and with the sun peaking out from the horizon he should be back soon...

Hold on, wasn't that his horse currently racing into the town like its tail was on fire? Where...where's your father?!


(Information for this prompt: If it wasn't too obvious, this is based off of Beauty and the Beast. Your character can be male or female, just know that my character is male. This takes place in late medieval times to where gears and guns were available. Very old ones, however. We could add a Gaston character to this, but I was mostly basing this off of the original story with hints of the 2017 movie. Regardless, Gaston is your call. He can even be a protective older brother, if that seems more dramatic. I can work with just about anything. :3)





Prompt #2 - A War Against Magic

As next in line for the throne, you were in the public eye often enough to know your father's VERY strict no magic rule. Whether you believed in it or not, you were expected to nod along and watch without tears in your eyes as many accused of witchcraft were burned alive - some were beheaded, which was as far as mercy went with the King. Truthfully, you should have seen it coming. You really, really should have seen this coming...
(PICK ONE ONLY)((Or do two separate RP's with each option))
A: As the next in line for the kingdom, you are now tasked with heading out to defeat a powerful enchanter. You only know they live in castle ruins deep in the forest. Good luck, brave soul.

B: You wake up in your room one night, an uneasy feeling in the air. As you look around the room, you very clearly notice the pair of gleaming golden eyes watching you. A enchanter was in your room, and this did not look good.


(Information for this prompt: This takes place in a completely medieval period, and is strongly influenced by the show Merlin. You can play a prince or princess, and I will play either a Warlock or Witch upon request. If you do not care which way, I'll just pick one. Your character should be human, but their opinion on magic is completely up to you. Perhaps a rebellious Prince, or a completely loyal princess? Your choice, good soul. ;))




Prompt #3 - Bloodchilling Bloodsucker

It's Victorian England, where everything is about manners and dignity. The fine of machines has just begun, with gas being harnessed for stoves and flintlock pistols. However, not everything has followed the path into the future. People have been disappearing, just vanishing in the night and no one can say where they have gone. The police say not to worry, but it's hard not to when - after three weeks of disappearances - bodies are now showing up. They have no blood left in them, no way to show where they had been taken while alive, and panic us starting to show. Every house has been searched and searched again, whether by law enforcement or renegade vigilantes.

Except one. A small walk away from the town, through winding trees and paths, lie an old castle. Obviously it's been left to turn to ruin and no one is there anymore, so nobody has thought to check it. Except you, who now stands outside said castle, wondering if you really should go in...



(Information for this prompt: The time period is Victorian England - or, if you prefer a more TV/Anime name, Black Butler's time period. Your character should be human, whatever gender you like. Just know that, for this prompt I will be playing a female character. Oh, and if the title has you thinking "Vampire", be careful. I have a few tricks up my sleeves for...reasons. >:D)
