Using a combination of my limited knowledge of world history and my unlimited imagination, I have decided to make this game!
Before we start, I would like to point out some important details:
This is more realistic than my other games(not too much, just the obvious stuff). Don't expect to be shooting fireballs at three-headed dragons.
This game has the basic elements of real medieval times, but this takes place in ANOTHER WORLD! The same world as my other games(Olarnith) minus the fantasy stuff.
In most Life RPGs you start as a newborn baby. Since the start of those games are uneventful you will start at age 8, when things start happening. Don't worry, aging will still go slowly. You just start at a higher age.
There's basically only one rule that's important right now: Do not choose the outcome of your actions.
Now we can get onto the story.
Story: You are born in medieval Olarnith. Nothing much to say here, since you start as a child. You will develop a storyline yourself as the game goes on.
And now the sheet: Only fill in the parts in parentheses. If you add something to anything else it will most likely be deleted.
NameTry not to be too unrealistic) Age: 5 DescPhysical description of your character) HP: 100/100 SP: 50/50 Inventory: Empty Money: 0 Bounty: 0 Romance: Single Reputation: 0
Explanations:
HP: Effects how close you are to dying.
SP: Stamina Points, effects things like running, climbing and things like that.
Currency: I'm not going to get too detailed with medieval money, so we'll only be using shillings and pennies. With these you can buy food, tools, equipment, ect.
Bounty: If you break the law, your bounty will rise and people will be searching for you. The higher the bounty, the harder they search.
Romance: You can literally get into a relationship with almost anyone you meet, as long as they are in your age group. You can get married and have children.
Reputation: Goes up if you treat people with kindness and respect, goes down if you are the opposite.
Serfs/Vassals: Most of you will be serfs, working the fields or being an assistant to a richer person. Some of you will be the sons or daughters of vassals, and will have easier lives than the serfs. The first person to join will automatically be the descendant of a vassal. After two more people join, I will pick a random name out of a hat to decide who is the noble. After that you will most likely be a serf, but you have a small chance of being a vassal.
Hope you enjoy! Remember, first to join is rich and starts with 10 free shillings!
And here's the map of the different manors, each under rule of a lord(Except for Vondul Mountains and the unexplored area).

You are able to walk and talk. You are the son of vassal Calix Carswell, who is the vassal of Lord Firrah. You are the youngest of two sons, your brother named Caine. You are sitting next to your father. "Son, one day you will become a knight, and fight alongside Lord Firrah. Do you think you will be able to handle this?" he asks you.

I will now randomly pick a name out of a hat to decide who the vassal will be. Remember that this is completely random and not biased. I am a very honest person. Highlight the blank space below to find out who wins.
And the winner is.........

You start in the manor house with your father, Lord Vierik(vee-AIR-ick) Padilla. He is a most sinister father, often recruiting wanted criminals into his personal army. Other than the people in it, few people know of his personal army, and none know what he plans to do with it. But that's not important until later on in the story! What is important is that he just gave you ten shillings to gain your everlasting trust! Anyways, you're also the oldest of two sons, your little brother named Alexander(he's three years old). Expect some conflict between you two later on, since the oldest son inherits the area and he might get jealous. The serfs aren't producing enough crops. So your mother, Madeline, sends you outside to order them to work(everybody else is too busy and you may as well get used to being the boss for when you grow up). Now you're outside, and you learn why they aren't producing crops. A small group of travelers is visiting, and their music and dancing is distracting the serfs. When you question them, one says "We would leave, but we need more money from the townspeople to survive the trip to the next city." Maybe if you offer them some of your money they'll leave?

"Yes! i could handle it but I wouldn't just be a knight! I would be an adventurer, a general even a lord! I promise that one day, we old be living in that palace,, believe it!" I say to my father

He sighs. "Son, to become a lord you would have to be the eldest son of Firrah. And that is not so. You would inherit my fief when I die, but that also goes to the eldest son. So Firrah's son will be Lord and Caine will be a vassal. The best you can get is knight. However, if you find a way to make a lot of money you might be able to have something close to a palace." He obviously isn't the kind of father that encourages their children to follow their dreams... Which might be a good thing, or it might not. "In two years you will begin training. For now go buy some food at the market." He points you in the direction of the market. After using the money your father supplied you with, a serf boy about the same age as you taps your shoulder. "Hello. What's your name?" Now's your first opportunity to effect your Reputation. You could kindly greet the boy and/or offer him some money(+2 Reputation), or you could shove him and/or tell him to get back to work(If he hurts you in any way he could be severely punished(Children old enough to work were treated as adults and given adult punishments(-2 Reputation))).
By the way, here's another map. This one has the Lord of each area's name under the area name. Within those areas are smaller fiefs belonging to vassals, but labeling those would take way too long and would cover the entire map with text... So I'll just keep it like this.

Nice descriptions! I give the travelers two shillings, and then demand them to leave immediately.

-2 Shillings. They leave and the serfs continue farming. Skip to age 7 Today is the day you start training as a knight. You learn of different armor parts, different weapons, how to care for a horse, ect. Time for your first horse ride! Your mother helps you onto the steed. And it goes stampeding around. It bucks, causing you to fall off, and one of the serfs laughs at you.

You already had 10 Shillings, your father just gave you some more to buy some food, which you already spent and you now have some food.

I laugh at myself, and get on the horse again and attempt another time.

"Maybe when you grow up. For now, we need to keep farming. Go plant some seeds in the field." He hands you a bag of seeds to spread. "I hear Lord Vierik Padilla is recruiting people into some kind of secret army. Maybe if you farm enough crops for him he'll let you in. So get to work."

It bucks again. And again. And again. Finally, when half the village is laughing, another page comes up to you. "You don't even have the reins on." he says, chuckling. He hands you some reins to put on the horse and teaches you how to keep it calm and follow your orders. "My name is Henry." he says, riding a horse steadily.
