Welcome to Emerald City, Oregon, founded in 1854 after Charles Moore and his family headed west due to false accounts of emeralds being found in the Cascade Mountains near by. Unfortunately Charles' dream of becoming rich off of emeralds didn't pan out, but the settlement began to flourish once oil had been discovered.


For a century and a half Emerald City remained a small town whose main income came from oil, farming and fishing in the Columbia River that runs through the cities border. During the last census only around 500 people lived there. However, within the last 10 years, Emerald City has been experiencing huge growth. The town that use to be only for drivers to pass through, or camp out for a small time, was now seeing a great influx of people moving in, building, and bringing new businesses.


Many families who have lived in Emerald City for decades do not appreciate the new growth and prefer their small town where everyone knows each other. Much of the blame has been placed on a famous singer who had built their second home in the area and shared the beautiful city with everyone on their social media. Some, though few, do appreciate their changing life - especially the younger generation, who seem to love seeing a new face every once in awhile.





March 20, 2019


One week ago tragedy struck this small town - something that has only happened a handful of times in Emerald Cities history. A disappearance, presumed murder. Not just any murder, but the murder of a 22 year old women who happens to be the Mayor's eldest daughter. Thus far, nothing has been confirmed or denied, however, most people believe that the girl is dead.


The older generation of Emerald City is placing all blame for this on the new growth of people coming in, saying none of the new people are to be trusted and that they are ruining the integrity of their beloved town.


Nonetheless, life must go on. The citizens of Emerald City must adapt to their new lives. Will they continue to be torn apart, or find a way to come together?

I plan on creating multiple NPC-type characters in order to drive the plot every so often for characters. This is going to be a Slice of Life centered around drama, romance, and how our characters deal with all kinds of situations. It will mostly just be things to keep the stories interesting, good or bad. :)
(Sidenote: This will not be used in an OP way. I won't be controlling your characters in any way, only some of the environment situations that they have to deal with. This also won't happen super often, I plan on having a main character for myself as well.)

There will be an "Updates" section on the first page of the character tab. I will note current day, time, weather, and anything big that might be happening plot-wise. Occasionally check that out for updates of what's currently happening in the RP.




Please change the C.S. titles to your character’s dialogue color, if any. When accepted, please put your C.S. in a hider.

Sure, I'll give this a shot. Won't be able to start a CS cause of other RPGuild responsibilities, but I can look to scrounge something together by tonight.

I want my character to be a sneaky dude who mostly makes money by selling marijuana out of his home and also doing various odd jobs on craigslist. Can I do that?

What you guys brainstorming?

I have three potential concepts, but I definitely want to give this rp some variety.
Farm leaning. I think it would be an overall fun, wholesome write.
Actress leaning. Either upcoming or already an idol.
Teaching leaning. Seems like a good position to get involved with characters.

I love the characters so far! Diverse.

@TootsiePop All of those sound good to me!

Also, if you're already leaning towards actress, I could allow you to be the "famous singer" that moved to town and is getting a lot of hate from the OG citizens at the moment. Haha Not required though, just a thought.

@The Muse You wouldn't have any qualms about the possibility of me playing as a pregnant 16-17yo, would you? Just thought I'd better ask before I got too far into the development stage :/

TP got me interested in this and I'm brainstorming my character's backstory. Also @The Muse I saw your list of businesses and the first thing I immediately thought with the dive bar was the name 'Diamond in The Rough' just to keep up with the gemstone puns.
