All right, so I've been wanting to do a slice-of-life roleplay for awhile now and always love some family plotting as they allow for a lot of minor plotlines to develop. So, here's what I came up with:
There would be three families, though all are connected with another depending on the characters we create:
Family 1: Nothing comes before family with them. Both divorced from former spouses, the mother and father have truly found their soulmates in one another. However, due to medical issues, the wife has never been able to give her husband any kids, so they've turned to the foster system to construct their family. They are capable of loving anyone; however, they're careful about adopting just anyone as they never want to impair their current childrens' well-being. There's also the option for either of the spouse to have a child from their previous marriage to add to the complexity.
Family 2: Father's a politican and the mother's an ambitious professional; while, they have children of their own, they've taken to fostering children as it looks good for the husbands campaign. As a whole, the family is incrediably disconnected, yet they've mastered the art of appearing as perfection in front of the camera. There are high expectations placed the children to be the best at something -- music, sports, academics; however, the love and support has never been there as a reward to that good work. The husband is the brother to the mother from the first family
Family 3: A woman with nack for taking in problem cases. She's a hardass with a no bullshit mentality; however, she truly has a heart for the kids she takes in, even if she hides it behind a vulgar mouth and hard exterior. The children living under her roof may have minor criminal records or severely messed up family lives -- many times seeing her place as only place left to go; however, no matter how broken they are when they come, the woman never allows that to be an excuse for them no actively practicapting in bettering themselves.
Depending upon how much interest, we can always add a fourth family so that there's no like twenty kids in each family.
Also, there'll be little options to spice things up and challenge our writing. 1} Random family placement, you can leave this part of your CS open and I can place you where I feel like your character could have to most dynamic interactions. 2) Plot tasks that require specific characters to interact and play out certain scenes.
