This roleplay will be loosely based on the movie "The secret tale of arietty", I did not create the general plot, to say In the least!

Im really bad at title names so I made a pun instead

*I'm new to this site, so please excuse any mistakes I might make! Tthank you!*

Plot
The characters are no bigger than a few inches tall , and they all live together in an old, forgotten doll house in the basement of a mansion.
Like the movie, the characters (also known as the 'borrowers') will be terrified of human, while they borrow things such as sugar cubes, string, loose cloth, or anything else that the human won't 'miss'.
The mansion they live in is owned by an old lady who lives alone, but one summer the borrower's peace is disrupted when the old lady's daughter comes to take care of her. The daughter isn't near as kind, so she'll try to rid of the borrowers, without really knowing that they're there. (Meaning she'll just assume they're bugs or something, causing problems for our characters!)
So, long story short, I based this off of the secret tale of arietty and all of our characters will live together in a giant dollhouse in the basement, taking what they need while avoiding the old lady's daughter.

The character sheet will look something like this:

Character info
Name:
Age: (the general age will probably be around 16-17?)
appearance: (a description or a picture will work fine)
Extra information in appearance? (optional) [things such as skin tone, body type, clothing preferences, hair styles, etc etc.]
Bio:

character development
Personality:
Hobbies:
Likes/dislikes:
extra?: (optional)

for the personality, please include specifics, (if they are easily annoyed, if they are friendly, or cold, antisocial, or an introvert. Things like that!)
you must fill out whatever isn't labeled as optional!

rules and guidelines for my role-play! (General rules also apply)
- No bunnying. This means to control another character without given permission.
- No killing off other characters without consent from the owner of the character.
- if it's possible to even god-mod in this role-play, don't do it! Thanks!
- as this is a casual role-play, I expect no less than 4-6 sentences per post! <that's not a lot, so don't freak out>
- Be kind and respectful, any OOC arguments will be dealt with inside PM's.
- No Mary-sue or Marty-stu characters.
- I'm not sure how this roleplaying site works, but in my role-plays I usually accept character sheets, rather than just letting every single person who makes a sheet join. I expect the sheet requirements to be made, and I'm not expecting much!
- Any questions or concerns may be dealt with in a private message with me!

Additional notes -
I wanted to make an RP that was loosely based off of something fun that everyone generally knew about. This is my first role-play on this site, but it is not my first role-play I've ever done, so don't go thinking I'm all inexperienced~
As an anime fan, I don't mind using anime pictures for your character.
If you're going to use a face-claim of any sort, (this could be using Taylor swift to using Naruto), I ask that you source it! Thanks!
As I stated earlier in the rules, I will be accepting character sheets, but you have to wait for me to accept them before jumping into the roleplay!
I do hope this gets enough interest, I would love to do it.

Interested!

oh, that's great, thanks~! If you have additional plot suggestions and whatnot I'm up to listening, because I feel like the plot is a little lacking as it is. c:

I feel like the best way to develop a plot is to ask many questions about it so here goes:

Does the rp have a certain goal in mind? Like why the borrowers are borrowing these things? Is there something they have to arrange (like a ceremony for one of them or a party maybe?) and why is it important? What happens if they are unsuccessful?
Oh and would either of the humans find out about the borrowers? Also would they be interested in the daughter despite her being not so nice? Perhaps one of the friendly borrowers could be curious about her problems and maybe try helping her indirectly.

(Also,I think I should mention that I haven't seen the movie)

The borrowers simply borrow things to live. They borrow cloths to make clothes, sugar cubes and small bits of food, stuff like that. They really only borrow what they need.
The old lady secretly knows about the borrowers, but she doesn't say anything! I was thinking that if anyone wanted their characters to be the curious one, they could do that~
(But you should totally watch the movie it's extremely good)

An RP based on a Ghibili film? Count me in!

Yeah, thanks!
I was nervous because on my other site, people hated when you used other ideas. They only liked it when you create your own, otherwise nobody would join and you'd get a lot of hate from it, aha... Glad I left that place!
This isn't getting a lot of interest very quickly though, which is disappointing..

I don't think you'd want a lot of people for this RP though, in the movie there's only a small (no pun intended) cast of characters.

Interested!

Interested!

I think there's 4 people (excluding myself) interested in the rp now. Would this be a safe number to start with? u v u;;

I think so yes.

Aaah alright then! so I'll make a new topic in the actual roleplay section, yes? Thissiteissodifferentffromwhatimusedto

Yes, that'll set up the OOC and IC section.

I made it! I'll work on my first in character post a little after everyone has seen it~
