This is a new story I am starting on writing, I haven't seen anything like this before on ...or frankly, anywhere else. It's going to be completely written in script format with characters assigned for...Naruto characters (and some other characters, though there is not going to be an OC pairing). I'm not expecting anything major for this story/script/what ever you would want to call it, to me, it's mostly an experiment I'm trying out to see how well I can adapt to new forms of writing and such. The reason I picked script is because one, I have not seen it done before, and two, to try to write successfully using mostly dialogue. And before anyone asks, I am quite aware of one of the guidelines for posting new stories, they can't be in chat/script format. I personally don't think this counts, but if this gets taken down...whatever, I'll be very angry and start throwing things, but whatever and probably sending an email a day saying that stories written in script format are still stories (just look at all those plays published!!!! not saying that this is possible for a actual stage play...some of it might...and other parts, it may work for movies, I don't know...).
Renaissance Romance is set in Elizabethan England for multiple reasons, mostly because I have completed countless projects on Queen Elizabeth I and I had fun doing them, I am very interested in European history (...don't look at me like that...), and I like fancy clothes (...why are you backing away from me?). Oh, and I had fun making up the names. Also, this is purely fiction, DO NOT use this as a source for a history project or anything...nor is the language accurate because I'm lazy. Actually, this isn't purely fiction, there are some facts in here, like the dates and the Queen. There really was a Duke of Norfolk and I think Duke of Somerset, but for my sake, we are going to pretend they didn't exist. Surprisingly, I did do research in the making of this script, mostly on the history of other European countries excluding England (like France and Spain). One more thing, the War of Religion in France was not made up by me, I don't create wars on purpose.
Note on OC's: I dedicate the OC's in this script to two wonderful writers here who I have known for a while, SweetLoveCries and FriendshipxofxFire (though she may not be reading this for personally reasons, I dedicate Alexandra to her anyway). Those two OC's were also mostly created by these two inspiring people. Third OC...I created for me because I can, shut up. Coincidentally, for some reason, all the OC's ended up looking a like...but I'll do something with that later. These characters are not based off of our characters/personalities...in other words, I'm not half as giggly and talkative as I am as "Marie". I usually choose not to write with OC's because people don't like them and it makes things confusing, but I find it necessary to add three major OC's in this script as people whom the main characters can trust and basically speak what is on their minds.
Um...so yeah, this first chapter is not really a "chapter"it's only an introduction that just gives information on the characters (there may be more minor characters later...that I will explain) and setting, BUT READING THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!...and of course this really long Author's Note. I have the first act (16 scenes) almost completed and will be submitting them five scenes at a time every other day or every two days... but after that, I do not know how long it will take for me to upload anything, or if I will at all (it depends on the response I get from just the 1st act)...Oh, this script is unbetaed because I'll feel bad for making SweetLoveCries edit something so...confusing and complicated. Another note on all the characters (especially the OC's), I may decide to add information about them as I go and they will be added onto this page...I hope and in the beginning of "chapters". Rating may...go up against my better judgment in later acts if I decide to continue.
Warning: Crossdressing in later chapters, boyxboy implications
Disclaimer...I do not own history nor do I own Naruto....
So...Tell me what you think of this experiment for lack of better words in a review or pm. Hope you enjoy...

FriendshipxofxFire:
Lady Knight
Alexandra Dubois
Célestin's most trusted bodyguard. She is one of the only females of her position in Europe. When she was younger, Célestin found her as an orphan who was being kicked around by older boys but to his surprise, she was fighting her worth. He eventually decided to take her under his wing and train her. She is a very cool customer, but also very somber and nostalgic, reflecting on the things that once were. Even though she comes across as sad, she is quite ferocious in combat. She takes her job seriously [maybe sometimes so much so] and likes to pick fights with anybody that looks at her friend wrong, flaunting her skill and having a slight "better-than-you" attitude. Despite it, she is a good friend and is willing to prove her worth no matter the cost. She has tan skin, long, black hair and dull magenta eyes.
Age: 18
Height: 5'7"
SweetLoveCries:
Lady, Sister of the current Duke Somerset, Maid of Honor
Prudence Lennox, Lady Prudence, Mistress Lennox
Sister of the current Lord Somerset, she has long black hair with green eyes that occasionally turn blue depending on the lighting and her attire. She is known to speak her mind, but can hold her tongue when need be (like in the presence of the Queen). Her relationship with her brother is cool at first and they often get into misunderstandings, but in the end she warms up to him. Her attitude toward Lord de Valencia is cocky and teasing. Childhood friend of the Queen and Marie.
Age: 26
Height: 5'6"
AngelicxDemon:
Lady, Sister of the current Duke Norfolk, Maid of Honor
Marie Gyfforde, Lady Marie, Mistress Gryfforde
Sister of the current Lord Norfolk, she has long black hair and dark eyes that can be either dark brown or purplish black depending on her mood. Her relationship with her brother had always been close. To people she doesn't know or isn't familiar with, Marie tries to be friendly, but that does not mean she jumps in to friendships or she is easily manipulated (she will be the one doing the manipulating more often than not). She is usually not blunt, but speaks her mind through implications. !-- /* Font Definitions */ font-face {font-family:PMingLiU; panose-1:2 2 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-alt:新細明體; mso-font-charset:136; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611969 684719354 22 0 1048577 0;} font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1107304683 0 0 159 0;} font-face {font-family:"Arial Unicode MS"; panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4; mso-font-charset:128; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-134238209 -371195905 63 0 4129279 0;} font-face {font-family:"\Arial Unicode MS"; panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4; mso-font-charset:128; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-134238209 -371195905 63 0 4129279 0;} font-face {font-family:"\PMingLiU"; panose-1:2 2 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-charset:136; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611969 684719354 22 0 1048577 0;} /* Style Definitions */ , , {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:none; mso-hyphenate:none; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Arial Unicode MS"; color:black; mso-font-kerning:.5pt; mso-fareast-language:#00FF;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-size:10.0pt; mso-ansi-font-size:10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family:PMingLiU;} page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} 1 {page:Section1;} -- Marie is very curious and asks a lot of questions and because of her manipulative nature, she gets answers most of the time.

Setting: Year 1563 early September; almost five years into the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st of England, after the first war in the Wars of Religion in France (at a time deemed the "Armed Peace"). The Wars of Religion started as conflicted between the Catholic House of Guise and the Protestant House of Bourbon. France is ruled by Catherine de' Medici (Catholic), regent for her son, Charles IX of France.
The queen of England invited representatives from neighboring countries to her birthday ball. This was also an attempt to find out where each country stood with Elizabeth's protestant rule. Of all the countries, the one that caught the attention of her Spymaster the most was France. The French had just signed a treaty that hopefully ended a bloody war.
Oh...about the Queen, I almost forgot, I couldn't think of anyone for her so...you can either pretend that it's really Elizabeth Tudor or imagine Sakura or Ino or someone playing that part.
No, I will not be "talking" this much in other..."chapters". Hope you enjoyed!!!
