Roleplay Synopsis

The island village of Starlight Cove is in a rough place.

Established many, many moons ago, the rural community has begun to show signs of age as it struggles to adapt to the modern world. The elder populace despair, watching their homeland dry up as the new generations are drawn away by the fancy, alluring lights of the mainland. What were once happy meadows, taverns and other locales are now desolate, left empty and abandoned to nature. For the passerby, Starlight Cove is quite the depressing place, but to those stubborn enough to remain, it's home—a home worth saving.
Roleplay Overview

Starlight Cove is a roleplay inspired by the likes of Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, and Stardew Valley. It is a small scale, rural slice-of-life roleplay with minor fantasy elements (such as monsters lurking in caves and ancient forest spirits).

Similar to its inspiration, the goal of the roleplay, as well as the player characters, is to ensure the town doesn't disappear and remains a place worth living. How this is accomplished is up to the cast, as there is no path or plot route aside from the predetermined background. Consider the roleplay a blank slate, or otherwise a free roam-esque sandbox to do as you wish and/or explore potential character ideas or plots you've been wanting to write but never had a chance to.

After all, the world's your oyster now; you just gotta save it first.

Edited. Now her coding should be more in line with the rest.

Hello! I'd love to join this but I have questions.

-Do I need to decorate my posts?
-What's the expected time between posts?

Also is there a template for the profile?

Thank you!

@Theyra Despite the overlap with my character, you can consider yourself approved.

@Cyrania An accountant is an interesting choice for this style of RP. Not many people would pick that for a character. The sehnsucht route works with being an outsider as well. That being said, I was more intending for this roleplay to focus on those native to the island, so (and for anyone else reading this, especially newcomers), I'm drawing the line at newcomers/outsiders from this point onward.

Not sure if you tried to emulate the coding everyone else was using, though. Seems a bit rough, IMO.

@mickilennial If you think you can handle a second character, feel free to post Luna in the CS tab.

@Mistress Dizzy I would prefer that things are "dressed up" to keep in line with the other posts, but I know some people are turned away by graphics and aesthetic so it isn't exactly mandatory. Thankfully, we have some resident "graphic artists" (*cough* Lemons and Yankee *cough*) that can help out with things.

At most a week, if possible. This roleplay is centered around a small, tight-knit community so I don't want things to come to a standstill if someone takes too long to post. Granted, this depends on the storyline/plot points in the current scene. Some might move faster than others and vice versa. But the general line of "hey, I need a post" is about once a week or so. Doesn't have to be long, but I'd need some kind of substance.

There really wasn't a template for the profile, but since everyone just copied Micki's, I'd just use that if you want.

@Carlyle

Thank you. I figured an accountant would work well for how she raised the money to get the cottage, how she would be figuring on supporting herself, and would translate into skills she can use to help the town as the RP develops.

And yeah, I did try to do what everyone else was, but couldn't figure it out. How is it done?

So is Jane accepted? I could change her to have spent her early childhood inn Starlight Cove then had to move into the city when her parents moved there. Then when the opportunity rose for her to come back, she took it.
