Storyline Specific Information: After World War IV, the countries of China, Japan, North and South Korea joined together to create one nation: New Asia. It would be ruled by one monarchy and a committee of ambassadors. The civilians would be split based on their occupations and incomes. This split became known as the castes. The citizens of New Asia were torn on whether they liked the castes or whether they didn't (the wealthy liked it, the poor didn't). Rebels began to assemble, some in the North, and some in the South. This is the way New Asia is run.
It is tradition in New Asia for the country's crowned prince to host a process known as The Choosing when he became of age. The Choosing is a method in which all young ladies between the ages of 16 and 18 living in New Asia would enter their name into the lottery pool. Randomly, 35 ladies would be Chosen and sent to live in the New Asian palace for The Choosing to officially begin. Over the course of the next several months, the Chosen ladies would compete for the prince's heart. As he gets to know each lady more and more, the prince would send those who he did not want as his wife back home. The process continues until there is one girl left, and she becomes the next princess of New Asia.
The Choosing had been tradition for centuries, but now times are changing. Rebels are more ruthless and restless. Foreign allies are being strained. The economy is crashing, and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it.
It is the year 2670, and Crown Prince Endymion of New Asia has finally come of age. It is time for The Choosing to begin.
Usagi Tsukino, a young girl living as a Six, received a letter inviting her to enter in The Choosing. Most girls would jump at the chance to be in The Choosing and be courted by Prince Endymion, but Usagi is quite the opposite. In fact, she doesn't want to enter. Why? Because she's already in love with a man back home: Seiya Kou.
Seiya is a Five, and he has been a big part of Usagi's life for as long as she could remember. He would provide food for her on those days where she had to sacrifice her own share for her little brother. He would hold her on those days when the family had to make yet another sacrifice. He would kiss her when all of the weight on her shoulders was pulling her down. He was her rock, her foundation, her everything. So she couldn't have been more surprised when Seiya urged her to join The Choosing. Why? Because all women who are Chosen get money sent to their families. And everyone knew that the Tsukino family needed money.
So Usagi entered, and to her shock, she was Chosen. Everything suddenly changed, and Usagi went from living the destitute life of a Six to living the luxuious life of a Two.
The competition is high, but Usagi doesn't care. She just wanted to quickly get back home and back to Seiya where she belonged. But before she knows what hit her, Usagi would begin to see something in Endymion that she didn't see in anyone else. Slowly but surely, she would begin to fall for him.
Additional Information: On the day before Usagi leaves for the Palace, Seiya decides to break up with her, no matter whether it hurts her, him or them both. His thoughts behind it were that if she was chosen, or if her life was looked into, surely she would appear badly if she had apparent ties with another man. The next day he met a young woman he gently helped, unable to chase any thoughts of the day before from his mind. Leaving Usagi had been the hardest thing he'd ever done in his life and if he didn't want to end up regretting it, he had to take his mind off it.
RP Sample: The girl was good looking. It was an information he actually registered, but he cared for it very little. What he cared about was that she seemed
