"There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn't that kind of the point?"
As you might have guessed from the title, this roleplay is heavily influenced by The Office TV show. Like the show, our characters will be employed by a sales company, ours being that of Ewing & Byrd Office Supplies inc. A relatively small business with its headquarters in Los Angeles, our characters will work in the Fresno branch (located in Fresno, California).
With an emphasis on character development, story-arcs and colleague relations, this roleplay will center around the daily, mundane lives of our characters. The development of their personalities, relationships with co-workers, ambitions outside of work and for the future are all for you to decide, and this roleplay will have a large amount of freedom. On occasion, there will be events to encourage this, by placing your character in more unique situations. From training days and 'work holidays' for a day or two, to after-work parties and meetups.
We'll get to know your characters, and explore their lives. To achieve this, while we will need dedicated roleplayers, there will not be an emphasis on quick posting. Instead, consider this something this to always come back to. I would say one post a week would be the minimum, though this is not a one-size fits all rule.
As for jobs, there will be several departments within our small office. Sales, the largest department, and Accounting. Roles will not be restricted to these however, and you are welcome to create a character for anything from a newly hired Junior Salesman, a number-crunching accountant or regulation-focused HR Rep (heck, maybe even a HR Rep who couldn't care less about the rules!)
A receptionist, customer relations adviser or resident IT guru are but a few more general ideas.
Hopefully this has piqued your interest! Should there be enough interest, I'll work on an OOC and open up a discord chat. In the meantime, feel free to leave any questions. Cheers!
