The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Dresmondi and women of Coheed have become playable!
This fall and winter was a period of low activity for the site, but even so, the Dresmond board has continued to simmer with excitement. This kingdom has moved from distant side dish to a dramatic main course in the world of Terra Nova. A big shout out to members Heather, Nix, and Darkest whose high activity has helped lead it through a renaissance into a new era!

Hello friends! I go by Eloell, I was born in '92, I live on the east coast of America, I'm married with kids, I'm a Bible-believing Christian, and I used to be an English teacher. While my primary job is that of a stay at home mother, I'm also a voice actor. I've been roleplaying since I was 14, and I think I'll roleplay until I'm 41 and beyond. My favorite part of roleplaying is the world building and storytelling aspects. Aside from this hobby, I like to sing, play music, play sports, and act. My primary goal in roleplaying is to tell interesting stories in magical worlds with all the beautiful unpredictability that comes from writing collaboratively with others.
STAFF ROLE
I am Heir Apparent's admin, as I birthed the site from my creative loins. Since its beginning, however, I've had a ton of help from Lyla , and then more recently here Rigby has become an invaluable part of the team . I'm so grateful I get to do this with them! As for specifics, I'm primarily responsible for the generation of site lore. There is no A to a Q or Fact of a Day that doesn't go through my strainer. I am responsible for the organization and maintenance of the site as a whole, as well as the progression of the plot arc and the health of the member base. While Lyla does a TON to help me in every way, at the end of the day, my role as admin on the site means I make the final call on things and assume ultimate responsibility for the site.

Typically high, with exceptions; I tend to post every day or every other day Violence/Gore: I am always willing to engage my characters in violent situations as the story needs! Romance: The spice of life? All for it, though I'll never commit OOC to anything because I love to let the characters do the deciding IC Combat: YES--bring it!
Activity Level: fairly moderate Violence/Gore: can't get enough of it honestly Romance: yes, give me mushy or just wet and gushy Combat: seriously not the best but I'll never turn it down!
Oof. I was always really bad at these ‘get to know me’ things. LOL. But I’ll give it a shot. Hello! I am Finnley, or Finn. I got into RP writing back when I was like 12 years old and started off on Harry Potter and, brace yourselves, Naruto sites. Then grew into Twilight. I took a long hiatus and just came back last year to writing thanks to our lovely shut downs. Haha. I am pretty basic in many ways, except for the days I get a bit chaotic which you can likely catch in the general chat of discord or the plot channels.

Hey! I'm Siren and I've been RPing in some capacity for over 10 years now. I started RPing on forums such as Heir Apparent as a teenager and that eventually led into voice-based RP on various video games. Now I've returned to the foray of written RP again!
I spend my free time either playing video games or reading. I tend to favor RPGs and MMOs and some of my favorite games include Dragon Age, The Last of Us, and Destiny 2. Games that I have RPed on include GTA and DayZ. As far as reading goes, I favor the fantasy/sci fi genres and my all time favorite series is The Mortal Instruments.
I also love all things dark and spooky. Post-apocalyptic and horror shows/books/games are another favorite thing of mine. And Halloween is my favorite holiday, naturally.

Activity Level: I aim to respond to threads a few times a week. Violence/Gore: Give it to me. All of it. Down to the most gruesome details. Romance: Yesss of course, especially if it's a passionate romance. Combat: I'm much better with magical combat than physical but I'm always up for both.
‘Cay’ for short. Policy nerd by day, writer of random things by night. I name my dogs after characters in books and I have an unnecessary (possibly unhealthy) obsession with popcorn. I also have a fairly ardent attachment to my husband, hot coffee, blended coffee, and cold brew...in that order (most of the time).
Heir Apparent is (le gasp!) my first ever roleplay site. Half the world learned to bake bread over quarantine, I baked up new characters instead (it was the gluten-free option). Now, I'm here for all the plot twists, character arcs, and general debauchery that go hand in hand with the collaborative writing experience. For me, roleplaying is all about dropping characters into a world and watching them shape and change in new, exciting, heart wrenching, and rewarding ways. I do the majority of my writing in the evenings after work or on the weekends so, while I might not be around as much during the day on the week days, rest assured, I am always coming for those replies!

I prefer regularly maintained threads, and I can commit to tagging in at least once a week with every character, and generally 2-3 times for my Leads and Secondaries. Threads that go unloved or unattended tend to be tough for me to get back into, so don't hesitate to let me know if you need to step away from a thread and close it in a pinch. I'm always happy to do a wrap up so we can jump into something more current later.
Violence/Gore: Brinnng it! (And definitely tell me if you don’t want it broughten. Or it will be broughten.)
Romance: …is the spice of life, right? 😏I’m all for it. Personally, I prefer the slow-burn over the Disney-style whirlwind. I like a challenge, and I like for my characters to be challenged. Bring on the arguments, the misunderstandings, the unrequited everything, and all the feels. And, speaking of the ‘spice of life'…feel free to break out the steam. Character headspace is important to me, so the more I get to explore that, the more fun I’m having. In short, I’ll always aim to match my writing partner’s preferences/comfort where writing romance is concerned.
Combat: In the immortal words of the Kool-Aid man: "Ohhh yeah!" Clashing armies? Brawling bar fight? Soldiers in the mud? Yes. Yes. Yes. CHARACTERS
Hello there! I'm generally new here but absolutely loving it! I'm in my mid-20s in EST and a nurse which is a super fun time right now!

List your characters and notate whether they are lead, support, or minor. Please also notate which is your "main", if you have one. [LEADS] Grant Delaney [Main] Titus Huxley Gannon Albrecht
Been doing RP forums on and off for about 14-15 years now and that eventually led to me getting involved in RP videogames and tabletop gaming like Call of Cthulhu and D&D. I also read a ton, across very genres between actual books and fanfics.
I have a "zoo" consisting of 2 dogs, 1 saltwater fish tank, 1 freshwater fish tank, 7 cats, and 4 reptiles.
Activity Level: Usually pretty high, though I will occasionally hit burn out due to IRL things so feel free to poke me. I am always down for things. Violence/Gore: Love it and will go all in. Romance: I am down. Combat: Not my strong suit but I try
Greetings, fellow adventurers. My name is [ redacted ], I mean, uh, Rigby. I’m a political organizer and opinion writer in my late 20s living in Washington, D.C. Like many people, once quarantine hit I found myself in need of an escape from reality. So, I decided to try out this whole role-playing thing, and was lucky enough to find Heir Apparent in the process! (with a little help from El, of course). For me, what makes role-playing on Heir Apparent special is the epic surprises, twists, and turns that keep me (and my characters) on our toes.
STAFF ROLE
As site librarian, I’m here to help Eloell manage the lore and game aspects of the site. I manage our various libraries and trackers and help Eloell update the lore as needed. I also try to be a helpful set of eyes on threads to ensure the lore and elements realism are being honored in the story. If you have any questions or concerns, or just want to chat, my DMs are always open!

Activity Level: You’ll find me online most evenings writing as my delightful little pup Seamus rests his little head on my lap. I'm always accessible by Discord unless I post otherwise in the absence channel!
Violence/Gore: Hit me. No really, do it. I'm here to get as dark as you want to get. I'm not particularly squeamish, so throw me whatever you've got!
Romance: Kiss me. Romance is the spice of life, no? I'm a fan of fraught love affairs and complicated relationships. Happy endings are for squares; let's get messy.
Combat: I love combat, though sometimes struggle with the mechanics (spatial reasoning is not one of my special skills). I'm big into the "ask questions if something doesn't make sense" and "summarize when possible" methods of sorting things out!
I've never been able to come up with a cool nickname to go by on RP sites, so I'm just Heather I'm 31 as of posting this, and I technically started RPing when I was 10 in Yahoo Chatrooms...ouch. I have a degree in computer programming and I currently work from home in Information & Data Management, which is just a fancy term for paperwork sorting and filing. I love animals and true crime, and I'm in the (very slow) process of learning leather-working.

Hello there. I am a scientist of the biology variety, I have a cat and two dogs, and I have it on good authority that I am a massive nerd. I’ve been RPing on forums for about 15 years now and have, as of the past few years, also branched off into D&D and hopefully one day, Call of Cthulhu. I am familiar with a bunch of the big movie/book/tv fandoms – Harry Potter, MCU, Star Wars, GoT, Breaking Bad, Hunger Games etc – but if you know some of the more niche series like Hannibal or The Magnus Archives, I will be your friend forever. I occasionally do the video game thing as well, and I am 100% that person who will buy new books from a bookstore knowing full well that I’m in the middle of reading 5 other books and that my to-read pile is about a mile high.

Activity Level: Largely dependent on how wiped I am from work, but I aim to respond at least a few times a week, preferably more. I’m always lurking on discord though Violence/Gore: Fine with everything Romance: Generally not on my radar, but more out of me not thinking of it rather than my actively avoiding it. I tend to not plot it as much as just let it happen if the characters click, and I prefer the slow burns. I’m all for the angst where you either crash and burn or come out the other side stronger for it Combat: Don’t have a lot of experience with it, but always down to learn new things
Hi! I'm Aenwyn. I think I'm currently the youngest member on the site (21 as I'm writing this)! I've been writing on RP sites since I was 14, but this is the first RP I've joined that is 100% in English (I'm from Belgium, so I've mostly been on Dutch sites). I like to draw and I sell some of my art from time to time. While I love to make art myself, I'm studying art history/sciences, which is only history and theory. Apart from that I love watching movies (if I can stay focussed), reading (again, if I can stay focussed lol), watching shows and spending time with friends. Together with drawing, RP has been the hobby that I've been doing the longest.
