Most of your stuff 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 Galligan Port Beach, the Rolling Oaks Business 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.
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.
Rules
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 at least chat so we know you are still interested.
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.
