If you'd like a character to start in a position of power, apply for a royal or incredibly wealthy character here.

Additionally, prophecy is always fun. Write your own prophecy and apply for a 'prophecy-central' character. However, having a character involved in prophecy can happen retroactively, in which case you need not apply.

Finally, we need to fill positions of power. You can apply for these characters as well. Some parts of their characters are already pre-determined, but beyond country and some history you have a good deal of creative freedom.
