And by large, I mean more than just covering high school and college.
Slice of life as in adults, too. People with jobs, growing families, etc.
Or is that too mature for the forums? XD
I feel like maybe it is, but I really kind of like the idea....
Like just a giant, living, breathing, made up city kind of rp.
To-Do List
- Intro
- About the RP
- Joining Form
- Rules
- Business Form (maybe? Like name and owner? Maybe hours and location?)
- Apartment Building Names
- Neighborhood Names and Descriptions (I'm thinking like for poor, middle class, and rich?)
- Different "Plazas" or Areas Where Stores are Located
- Hangouts, Like Beach and Park
- Private School Name
- City Name!
- University Name (Just "University of [Insert City]" Probably?)
- School Descriptions
An Unorganized List of What We Have So Far
City Name: Brook Point
Brook Point University
Brook point Academy (k-12)
K. J. Sorensen High school
Skye Middle School
Levit elementary
Harvest Hills
This neighborhood is home to the richest of the rich. The CEOs of the top companies tend to find themselves living here in the expansive houses, some that could even be considered mansions. A lot of the kids of the richer people will also move out into the Cliffview Apartments.
Shelton's Run
Most of the population of Brook Point lives in this little suburban neighborhood. It's easily affordable, at least for people with stable, good paying jobs. The houses are nice and this place is located on the edge of the city, giving a break from the speed and rush of the general going-ons. It's a great place to raise kids. Situated between Shelton's Run and the business of the city is the apartment complex called Imperial Grove.
Spring Lake
Despite being known as the "poor" neighborhood, Spring Lake still isn't the worst place to live. The houses are smaller and closer together than those in the other neighborhoods. This place is located in a cluttered part of the city near an area that the people of Spring Lake think is dying given the businesses that keep having to close nearby. The apartment complex Suncrest Apartments is also located in Spring Lake and is home to many young university students who don't want to live on campus or with their parents.

Galligan Port Beach
Located on the edge of the ocean, the public beach is a popular place for families and young teenagers alike. It is dog-friendly, as long as the dogs aren't aggressive and are kept on leash (although that rule is rarely enforced). The beach has a pizza place that closes down during the winter and a playground for the kids.
Coldwater Park
The park is, well, a typical park in the middle of Brook Point. It is expansive so that if you stand in the middle, you almost can't hear the buzz of city life... almost. There is a long, twisting walking path around the park with a playground near the middle and an enclosed dog park. There is also a skate park situated near the edge of the park for those cool skateboarders to hangout at.
Intro
Most of your stuff had already been transported to the city of Brook Point. You found yourself nervous but also excited for what your new life would hold. For a while, you had wanted a change of scenery and then you stumbled across pictures of this little city. Well, not "little" but certainly not big. With a population of about 20,000, it felt like the perfect place for you. Nice, quiet forests and farms laid on the outside of the city which would then evolve into suburbs and then later, the heart of the city.
When you had first set foot in Brook Point just to visit, you had already felt at home.
The [INSERT NAME] Beach, the [INSERT BUSINESS NAME DISTRICT]... they were all so fun and full of life, and the locals had been so friendly and caring! The city had felt like a fairy tale come true.
Soon, you were scouring for the appropriate place to live and after you had decided, you had eagerly packed your bags. You waited for the days until you would board the train that would take you into Brook Point. Your belongings waned away until soon, you were sleeping on the floor of your empty house with only your basic necessities because tomorrow would be the day that you would arrive to your new home.
And now, here you were, staring out of the train window. Somewhere in the distance, you could see the towering buildings of Brook Point. But for now, you were caught by the breathtaking sight of the forest that was just outside of Brook Point -- you made a mental note to visit and hike around there at some point. And soon, that forest gave way to pastures and you watched the cows and goats and sheep that were grazing lift up their heads to watch the arriving train. And then that turned into the pampered yards and houses of the suburbs with kids playing in the street.
And then train pulled to a stop and the conductor announced that it was time to get off. Excited, you grabbed your backpack and followed along with the other crowds as you hopped off of the train and breathed in the city air. "Welcome to Brook Point!" Someone called over the intercom and you found yourself smiling, realizing that you were now home.
You will also notice that there is a "Main Characters" joining form and a "Supporting Characters" joining form. The example I will use is Kat is currently in school, but will one day take over her grandmother's service dog business. Kat is my "Main Character," but for the time being, Kat's grandma will need to be added in to run the business, but I won't really do any rping with her. Kat's grandma is a "Supporting Character."
About the RP
Brook Point is set up to be a living, breathing city kind of roleplay. You can play characters at any age, with any job. Kindergartners, high schoolers, university students, full-blown adults, anything goes. However, there WILL be aging with one year taking up approximately twenty-eight days of real life. If the rp is particularly slow or if people want to wait until a few "years" have passed for more drama, we can skip years or speed up the aging for those moments. The twenty-eight days is just a default.
Each week will equal a different season. So the first week will be spring, then summer, then fall, then winter. At the end of winter, I will age everyone up one year.
Beach name: Galligan Port
Buisness District: Rolling Oaks
Forum Rules
These are obviously going to be our rules as well. If you are confused about what these are or do not remember them, please reread them as I will not tolerate any sort of misconduct. Failure to comply will result with a warning.
Activity
Activity is what keeps an rp going, it's like the lifeblood to the roleplay. However, I know people have school, jobs, a life, and etc. But do try to make an effort to come on every other day or so and put up a decent post of roleplaying, not just chat.
Literacy and Post Length
When it comes to Literacy, I do expect proper grammar and spelling more or less. Of course, no text talk in character either. As for Post Length, I am happy with anything longer than a one liner. This is because some people like to write more, and others less. I don't want to make this roleplay open for only a certain group of roleplayers (i.e. semi-advanced, advanced, etc)
Out Of Character Chat
Absolutely no drama OOC. Take it to PM or another thread, this is a place for us to have fun and get along. If there is some sort of disagreement because of a character(s), please let me know and I will sort it out. Whoever is causing the trouble may get a warning or two, depending on the offense
Godmodding and Powerplaying
This really shouldn't be a big deal in slice of life rp, but it should be here anyway
Spotlighting
No one likes it when people spotlight their characters, or get a major role in a plot every time. However, I can't guarantee we will have a rotation or something of the sort to determine who gets a major part in the plot. It will either happen naturally or through other means.
Profanity and Sexual Content
Keep cursing to a minimum please, or use a substitution such as [curse]. As for Sexual Content, just use 'skip' because no one wants to read that and hopefully I won't have anyone who needs me to warn them about this.
Mary-Sues, Gary-stues, and Special Snowflakes
We all hate them. Just saying. No one (even in a fictional realm) is perfect, it's not possible. If you're not sure if you're character is a Mary-sue please PM me and I will be happy to help. Don't make Characters who are down right bad with no back story or purpose to them. That's just boring to read because we don't watch them grow as characters. Plus, what bad guy doesn't have a motive? And DO NOT make Special Snowflake characters. Not sure what these are? Ask please.
Plots
I don't mind if you make small side plots like two characters get in a romantic relationship or something of the sort. However, I get salty when people start doing their own thing and making major plots without asking me or the other creators. So save us both from my wrath and just ask. Which reminds me, do not be afraid to put in suggestions!
Have Fun!
If we follow the rules, I think this can be a great role playing experience for all of us. Let me know if someone is bothering you or there is something you are unsure or uncomfortable with. I will try to fix the situation to the best of my ability.
