. I really dig the homey feel. It most definitely has a jukebox tho.
robin so the available positions include the dreamer, the realist, the hero, the caregiver, the explorer, the rebel, the creator, the jester, and the sage. Typing up a whole explanation for these takes a bit of time and research, so were there a couple in particular that caught your interest?
Hello blue, I'm glad you're interested!

Yes definitely a jukebox. Maybe one of those black and white tiled floors too? That whole thing if you know what I mean? Or do you not want to go with such an old theme?

No no, I love it. Old school is a classic and it fits in really well with the rest of the setting.

Hmm I don't know. Part of me really likes the idea of naming it after the street it's on? So it would be like Main Street Diner or like Park Road or something like that.
Also just an fyi, if you have unique ideas for characters feel free to message me, whether here or in pms. I'm really open to most ideas, so kein stress.

Main Street Diner could be cool. I feel like it's a little more generic and makes it seem like there's nothing special about the diner but it's really a special place and maybe a somewhat popular hangout place?
Oh, are we able to have side characters? Like not part of the main group but just side characters?

Yeah that's cute.
The way I have it designed in my head we have major characters (the twelve club members), minor characters (exclusive to one person/rper but not necessarily integral to the plot), and npcs (anyone can rp as them, more like your shopkeepers and teachers). So yes.

I do too!
Also just wanting to post some of what I'm working on in the background. So since a good portion of the rp will involve fighting, I'm working with chance charts that everyone can access to see how your character's "action" goes (I need to find a good random chooser or something that lets me save the options? But worst case scenario I'll just post them and you guys will have to paste the info into it yourselves). The options are as follows: something good happens, something neutral happens, something bad happens, something very good happens, or something very bad happens. Ideally if your character is in combat, you'd roll/choose/do something to get one of these results. You wouldn't be able to get "something very good happens" or "something very bad happens" on your first result, but you'll only be able to defeat a monster (aka kill it, you could probably chase it off with a "something good happens") if your result is "something very good happens". On a "something neutral happens" it could be anything from both you and the monster suffering from a wound, to your attack doing nothing at all. "Bad" results generally mean your character gets injured or something along those lines, and on a "very bad" the wound/danger is much more severe. This way I feel like fights will be a lot more fun, and it'll definitely help raise some of the stakes (plus it'll help people not make their characters super overpowered and able to kill a monster with one hit/without taking damage). What do you guys think of this?

Oh my gosh I love it. I've always wanted to do a rp with chance things like that

that's nice! I really like the idea that we can't really just control the battlefield and stuff. will everyone have to respond once during combat before anyone can respond twice, though? so they don't get shut out? or is it just like who's active at the time? also are you just going to use honor system, or will we have to post screenshots of our results or whatever?

I'm glad you like it .
kiwi cheesecake so I'm big against having a turn system because it usually just slows things down and makes rp feel formulaic. So it would more be your activity. However, I do intend to send out a notification before like a "boss battle" or a big monster fight the day of so everyone knows when to be online if they want to be a big part of that. I don't think I'll require screenshots tbh. Like, I trust most people here aren't going to fudge results, especially since your character won't like, die if you roll a "very bad". If you guys want me to require screenshots let me know, but I just kinda see them as an inconvience as of right now.
Hey Venom I'm basing most monsters after cryptids and the legends surround them so I should be good for monsters right now. However, if you have some really good ideas, feel free to pm them to me and I'll take a look!

that works! I just worry about people getting left behind, but if you're giving us a bit of warning before a fight that works too ^^. I think trust system works too, just maybe if people are like always succeeding and stuff then you could look into it.

nice nice.
hey Venom, not sure if I missed it or not, but did you request an archetype yet? Just wanting to make sure I didn't miss anyone!
Any ideas for other locations? I'm going to look into them right now, but feel free to share if you have anything!

During the planning stage I prefer if people only claimed one. If we actually start rping, and not a lot of people show interest, then I'll allow joiners to take a second. If you're stuck between too, I can always give some details to help with the decision? Sorry!
