On second thought, I don't think we really need a blanket city description assuming that the intro describes everything pretty well, and then the various descriptions of the areas around the city are described, too. It would just be reiterating the same information.

Rules - Please do not break the forum rules. We do not want to get this taken down! - If need, please use our buddy *skip.* Some mature themes are allowed, but please keep it to PG-13. - No power-playing or Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus. We all know what those are. - Please keep your posts literate by not using text-talk. I don't care how long they are. - I hope you have fun!

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.
I just copied and edited some rules from another rp I made if you wanted something more descriptive. Is there anything you want me to add or no?

Brook Point University -- Brook Point University (BPU) is a private university in Brook Point, Virginia. Chartered in the early 1900s, this school isn't exactly the oldest, but it certainly isn't the newest university in Virginia. It was actually the University that made the town a landmark and now well known throughout Virginia to be the biggest small town in the state. The university sits on 950 acres of what used to just be woodland. It's largely famous for its degrees in both medical majors and law. The university was built by James A. Brooke, and he was the man in charge of it all until his death in 1967. Brooke's favorite animal was the timber wolf, so naturally the school's mascot was a timber wolf with the school's colors being that of navy blue and gold. The school boasts eighteen different sports in its athletic program ranging from Football to ROTC this school has it all and the scholarships.
Brook point Academy (k-12)
-- Home of the bulldogs as well as the wealthier children's education. This was originally a Catholic private school until the school eventually went into debt in the late 1800s due to the small population of the town, and not enough of the wealthy to pay for their children's education. It was sold and bought also by James A. Brooke who planned to demolish it and make way for the University he was planning to create. However, he decided to rebuild St. Paul Catholic Academy into the school now known as Brook Point Academy. Knowing that the people living in Brook Point didn't exactly have the highest paying jobs back in the day, he decided to make it a public school until more people began to move into town and then more businesses came about and suddenly there were enough wealthy families to make it into a Private School again. So, seeing as it would help fund his University, James A. Brooke turned the once public school, private. Despite the school being considered 'the rich kid school' - meant to have rude intentions - not all the children are rude or snobby. And not all of the higher class citizens sent their children there. Brook Point Academy students do not wear uniforms but they are under a very strict dress code as follows: 1) Polo style shirts, button down shirts, and turtle neck shirts are permitted Sleeveless shirts and T-shirts are NOT permitted. 2) All long sleeve solid colored crew-neck, V-neck, or cardigan sweaters must be worn with a white collared shirt, turtle neck, or blouse No hooded apparel. 3) Shorts, skirts, scooters, and jumpers may not be worn four inches above the knee. A solid colored belt Muse be worn if pants or shorts have belt loops. Clothing must be worn at the natural waste Denim jeans and sweatpants are NOT permitted 4) shoes must be black or brown in color, no open heels or toes permitted. Clogs, flip flops, and bedroom slippers are NOT permitted 5) students may NOT wear hats, hoods, sweatbands, bandannas (except for religious exemptions) or sun glasses while in the school building 6) coats and jackets must be stored inside the student's classroom or locker and not carried with them during the school day The school, having the money it does, has quite a few sports and academic oppritunity including both MCJROTC and AFJROTC, NJHS/NHS, and anything else to meet your academic needs. All teams are referred to as 'The Bulldogs' or the 'Lady Bulldogs'. Their school colors are white (interchangeable with black and gray) and green.
