[quote=@Oliver] Holy shit you have no idea how long I've been waiting for an 18th Century RP This is literally what I started RPing for. I'd love to join, but I have a few questions. -How many characters do you expect to have in this RP, as in how large will the group be? -Do you plan to have a posting order or rules on how fast or slow the RP can go? -Age limits: do they exist and what are they? I mean, aside from the obvious taboo of playing a character who is too young or old to take care of themselves. -How realistic do you plan to have time and space be? Like, in many RPs minor time anomalies like going back in time a bit for the sake of dialogue are ignored, traveling can be as fast as the plot demands it to be, etc. Is it going to be more like that or would you insist on some basic level of realism when it comes to the timeline? -Would 1770 historical events like the Boston Massacre still be taking place? -I had a few other questions, but this is all that's coming to mind right now and I have to go to school. [/quote] -You can have anywhere from one to three characters. It's a big world so I see no reason to limit participation. -Post when you have a post, doing worry about speed. I write slow, that's all I can tell you -No age limits. If you play a kid or something, just don't do anything creepy, but otherwise I really don't care about age. Hell, you could play a character that is too old or too young to take care of themselves, I just don't see why you would want to. -You mean how linear do I require the narrative to be? Don't jump ahead, that isn't a good idea. We will follow a line but I won't chart it on a strict timeline, so just don't do anything blatantly awkward like teleport from Virginia to Brazil in a post. And if you want to do flashbacks, I honestly wouldn't mind. If you mean literally time traveling, like we are in star trek and you got caught up in a temporal anomaly, then no. -Probably not. That being said, Imma let some of this be decided as the RP goes along. I'm a firm believer in finding the story rather than forcing it, so I won't be calling time-out on stuff unless it's either nonsensical, god-moddy, or against what little I have already written. [quote=@Byrd Man] [b]Name:[/b] Hercules Mulligan [b]Place:[/b] New York City [b]Bio:[/b] Hercules Mulligan was born in 1740 in Ireland. Six years later, his family moved to America and settled in the colony of New York. The young Mulligan studied at King's College in Manhattan. After school, Mulligan opened his own business -- a tailor's shop -- that caters to wealthy members of colonial New York. In the influx of immigrants from Europe, Mulligan has found his business booming as many agents of the crown settle into New York. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Mulligan is in fact a member of the Sons of Liberty and the New York Committee of Correspondence, two very important organizations that sought to unite the colonies in their struggle for greater representation and less taxes from the British crown. Now, with the changing weather and the refugee crisis the situation is immensely changed, although the Sons of Liberty and the CofC stick to their goals and Mulligan continues to assist them wherever possible. And [b]Name:[/b] Sir Thomas Bennett [b]Place:[/b] South Carolina [b]Bio:[/b] Born in 1729, Thomas Bennett came from a prominent English merchant family. Thomas' father had relocated to America to run the family's business in Virginia. The Bennett family thrived for most of Thomas' childhood, but bad investments by his father bankrupted their family business and turned the elder Bennett into an alcoholic. In 1732, he committed suicide and left Thomas responsible for his mother and three siblings. Thomas, along with his brother and two sisters, worked for the wealthy gentry of the Virginia tidewater area to make money to support themselves. Thomas was still a boy when he learned the easy ways to cater to the ruling elite of Virginia society. At the age of eighteen he began reading law under the tutelage of Victor Randolph, one of the top lawyers in Virginia. In 1754, twenty-five year old Thomas struck out for himself as a lawyer. He soon used his connections with the first families of Virginia to get work. By the time he turned thirty, Bennett was perhaps even more well known that his mentor Randolph. In 1760, Bennett was employed by the mighty Fairfax Family to handle a sensitive matter. Lord Fairfax's youngest son had become involved with a woman of ill character and had fathered a child with said woman. For a fee, Bennett used his connections in the state to have the woman and child quietly sent west to the Piedmont Region and a lonely planter who had longed for his own family. For this service, Lord Fairfax honored Bennett by pulling strings in England and granting him a knighthood. Now in 1770, as the entire world has been turned upside down, the now wealthy and successful Sir Thomas finds himself in South Carolina just outside Charles Town. With the influx of wealthy nobles, there are to be many in need of his discreet talents. [/quote] You're good. Also, remember to put characters in character tab so it's easy to find.
