Hello! I've tried this idea a few other times and it's always had a lot of interest, but then would die as we started to rp... So maybe this time is the charm? I'm planning on changing a few of the rules, too!
The plot of this rp is simple. Growing up. Living. Experiencing the world.
It starts out on a crisp, early September day -- the first day of school and for our heroes and heroines, it's the first day of kindergarten. That's right: This roleplay will focus on a group of kids as they enter kindergarten. These kids will get best friends, little kid crushes on their fellow classmates and their friends' siblings. And we will continue on, from kindergarten onwards. This will be an ever expanding life roleplay and, although it will focus on a gang of friends that are in the same grade, the world will also be open to our Main Gang's parents and siblings and maybe some other kids... eventually.
Please post if you are interested! The rules are the typical forum rules which I think we all know, and I'll add a joining form as soon as I think of one.

Blaze's Family
Drake Martin | 5 years old | Kindergarten There's only one word to describe this kid: optimistic. Drake is everything sunshine and rainbows and tends to never have a down smile, despite his somewhat depressing life. He's short (for now, anyway!) and keeps his black hair in a long mess that falls over his eyes that are such a pale blue-gray color that, when asked his eye color, he'll often say silver. Plus, silver is his favorite color with pink being a close second.
Mason Rivera | 7 years old | Second Grade Whereas Drake is all happiness and sunshine, Mason is all sadness and rain. He is the complete opposite of his younger brother and it can be seen in his face that is already exhausted at his young age. Mason is often made fun of and picked on by his fellow peers with many of his mean nicknames courtesy of Drake (through no fault of Drake's -- he didn't know they would be mean to his brother!). Mason has the same black hair as Drake, but he keeps his fairly short. He has amber eyes that border more on brown and he has to wear glasses that once upon a time were broken, but they didn't have enough money to replace them, so instead, Mason is stuck with glasses that have the arms duct taped on.
Maria Martin | 28 years old Single motherhood of two boys is never easy -- especially when their father refuses to acknowledge either of them. The drama of her life has left Maria perpetually exhausted. She often has very little time for her boys given that she works two jobs, which means they are often left either on their own, or with a babysitter. Because of the hardness of what has now become her life, she often resents Mason, but absolutely adores Drake. She is tall with long, curly black hair and dark brown eyes.

(Hello! I'm not sure if you were in the original one of these, but if you were, good to see you again! ^^ I'd definitely like to join this. I've tried to revive it multiple times but, like you said above, they usually die off before we get very far. Is there a certain form I should use, and also should I add my character's siblings/parents right now or wait until they come into the roleplay?)

((I actually came up with the original idea. ^.^" Way back in the time of the old forums. I remember making one and I wasn't able to keep up with it, so the other active members went off to remake it! I'd say just write out your character however you feel right now. Haha. And yes, add parents and siblings right now. And maybe pets...? Hmm... considering allowing people to have at the most two main families and just require one to be a boy and one to be a girl. XD Since I can't decide... but maybe that would also help?))

(Yes, I remember! I think I was the first one to recreate it, and though the others rejoined, it didn't get far ;.; Also that sounds good, I was thinking of making my main character a girl, but maybe when they're in middle school/early high school make a guy who could either be their friend and/or someone's love interest X3 I'll work on a form now.)

((Ooh. That's a good idea. XD I think I'll wait and add my girl in later. Maybe make her be homeschooled through elementary or something.
Yay! Other members! ^.^ Please feel free to join! There is no joining form as of yet, so please just write out your main kindergartner and their family.))

Brindleface's Family
Patience Kay Rockholm | 5 years old | Female Patience, usually called Pae, is quite shy but very considerate. Though trusting, she is usually shy to the point of being scared of other people, though it's mostly adults. She is very imaginative and likes to make up stories about what she sees, but stays within logical possibilities. Not very curious, which can be a bit concerning, she does have a good memory and will learn quickly. She also has a bit unstable emotions, like any young child, and will easily cry or yell. With this, she also tends to be over-dramatic. She is also very scared of any dogs bigger than a small puppy. Patience has wavy golden-blond hair that reaches just past her shoulders, with blue eyes that are a bit large. She is very tall for her age, standing at almost 3'9" and has a bit of a natural tan. Her birthday is April 7th.
Mother - Misty Rockholm | 35 years old Misty has straight, dark brown hair that reaches a few inches past her shoulders with brown eyes. She has medium skin and is very short, standing at only 5'1". Misty is very independent and ambitious, working her whole life to try and get to the top. She works as a head astronomer for a private company. She is also very conscientious and has lots of empathy for others, especially her kids. She was born and raised in Spain, though is only half Spanish. She lived there until she was 29, when she moved to the US with Ignacio.
Father - Ignacio Rockholm | 28 years old Ignacio has short, curly brown hair with hazel eyes. He stands at about 6'. Ignacio is very idealistic. He strives for perfection in everything he does, from his job to his family. He is generally very caring towards his family, but can have cold streaks, in which he can seem almost cruel with his lack of care. He does care deeply for everyone, though, and wants his kids to grow up in the best way possible. He was born in Spain to English parents, and moved to the US when he was 8 years old with his family. He returned to Spain for college where he met Misty, and both decided to move to the US to raise a family. He works as a machinist.
Saphir Rockholm | 1 year, 10 months old | Male For his age, Saphir is very lively and often smiling. For looks he is about the opposite of his sister, with straight black hair that has never been cut, now reaching almost to his shoulders, with brown eyes and naturally tan skin. He is also very small for his age. His birthday is November 17th.
Hillton Rockholm | -unborn- | Male Birthday is March 29th.
Mars | Guinea Pig | Male Siri | Rabbit | Female

But we could be starting out with smartphones and then advance until we get to really cool technology?))

(How about technology a few years ago? So smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc. I'm only suggesting this because my character has a habit of breaking into different tech and hacking things XD )

((Haha, sure. XD
Lemon, basically we rp a "family." So I have Drake and Mason, brothers. But everyone is allowed to have two families (one kid must be in kindergarten). I know Brindel is going to bring her second family in when we hit middle school, but you could have them both now if you want. =3 And maybe other characters... just characters that won't be as much in the "main plot." .... I'm not sure yet. XD))

(I'm ready! ) Bree (Breanna) Grayas- Bree is a very hyperactive, energetic, and bubbly five year old who's birthday is Christmas day, quite fitting for the always cheerful kindergartener. Bree has dark brown hair usually up in a ponytail with a braided headband and a golden flower clip in her hair near her right ear. She usually wears denim capris, a light gray t-shirt with small smiley emojis and a large laughing emoji on the stomach and light orange sleeves, light gray sandals, and a small backpack that contains some stuffed animals and the child's tablet her brother gave her which was the birthplace of her habit of hacking into things sometimes by accident. Bree is extremely happy, she is rarely ever upset and when he is it's because someone else she knows is sad or angry and she tries to make them happy. When Bree is in middle school she is involved in a car accident that leaves her unable to walk but able to voluntarily move her legs not against gravity, despite this handicap Bree is just as excitable and cheerful as she was before the accident. Her older brother Ben is a senior in high school and has tried to teach her coding, except it partially backfired because Bree created her own coding language that only the kindergartener understands.

(I know, I just felt like adding it! ^-^) (Can I have multiple main characters? Like Bree and Cynthia?)
Ben Grayas- Ben is a rather quiet and teddy-bear like, he has blue eyes and messy light brown hair with dark rimmed glasses and a slightly stocky build. He is very kind and loves his younger sister to pieces although he sometimes regrets his decision on reaching her coding since she consistently hacks into his laptop and phone. Gunner Grayas- is a blue eyed man with gray-speckled black hair and a thin and tall build. He is very humorous, cheerful, and very curious despite his age. After Bree's mother died when she was three years old, he has been taking care of his two kids and his foster daughter without too many issues. Cynthia (Cindy) Lawson- A six-year-old girl with innocent and round sapphire blue eyes and shoulder length black hair that's usually braided in a fishtail braid with a medium sized light blue flower covered hair clip pinned on the right back area of her hair. She wears lighter denim overalls, a light gray t-shirt, white and light gray converse style shoes with a favorite denim jacket that she takes everywhere, and usually has a small stuffed golden retriever named "Goldy" in the chest pocket of her overalls. She loves mischief, creating things, and is extremely curious.

((I would rather everyone only be able to have two kids in the kindergarten class, and then to keep them as one boy and one girl. I'm not sure on adding in anyone that's not related to the families quite yet. Tiger? What do you think? And other people when they come back. XD
Alright! I'll start. ^.^))
Drake could be seen arriving at school with his big brother, Mason. "Mason?" He whined. Mason sighed. "Yes?" "Are we close yet? Will you help me find my class? Do you think school is boring? I think I'm excited to start but I don't know what if I don't like any of the kids and then I-" "Oh hush. You'll be fine." Mason replied, obviously annoyed by his brother's anxious array of questions. Mason personally disliked school. He was exhausted and tired of being bullied, but he was sure that his brother would be fine. Everyone loved Drake.
Finally, the tall building of the elementary school could be seen in front of them. Drake's eyes widened in awe. Although he had seen the school before and been inside, he hadn't seen it or been inside it when he was a student! Outside of the school, on the playground, kids were playing while they waited for the school bell to ring. No longer thinking about the location of his brother, Drake took off to go and see if he could make some new friends. His first stop: the sandbox. Mason, meanwhile, plopped himself down on a swing and proceeded to sit there in quiet agony until school started.
