▸ It had been exactly one year since BigCo had put down it's first flag in the very small town of Root River. The company came without much warning, telling the residents that they needed the land to put down a mega amusement park and resort. All of the residents declined offers. This was home for everyone and it had been home for several generations. The offers became higher and some of the residents took the bait, selling off their land and BigCo immediately got to work, cutting down trees, draining parts of the river and putting down asphalts.
The Rot moved in shortly after. It's hard for people to explain The Rot to an outsider. It comes in a physical form showing up in mold and literal destruction. It comes in mental form in the villagers: sickness and anger. Finally, it comes in an emotional form as residents of Root River began to lose their hope and believe in the village and what made it magical. The Harvest Sprites and The Harvest Goddess were effected first- their homes in the forest and ponds being dismantled before their eyes.
Prayers to the Goddess were meant with pleas in return. The Goddess reminded her people that for her to grant wishes and give a plentiful life that they people of the village had to respect and replenish her land. Remaining villagers have taken this plea very seriously, they are the only people left that can save the land. For now, everyday brings a challenge. New romances, old friendships and even new people in town will bring some adventure to Root River.
Together we can all save our home.
▸ In Root River we have four seasons that last fifteen days each. Each season has a few events that we would love for you to attend in the midst of your own story. Plots will come and go, just like the seasons. Each of our character's birthdays will be a special day as well. Let's make this village our home, together.
▸ Below is a map of our village. It lists where your character lives, works, and plays. There are a few homes/business opportunities up for grabs if none of the available roles fit with what you are looking for in a character. Just give us your ideas and we can start you on your way to a fantastic adventure.
▸ Respect your fellow roleplayers!
▸ No power playing, God modding, or any of that nonsense.
▸ This is a light hearted roleplay, but there will be heavy topics now and again.
▸ Romance is welcomed but please keep it reasonable. Fade to black for anything too mature.
▸ Keep active in the OOC and the IC. We expect at least one paragraph posted one-two times a week. Being active also includes giving suggestions and ideas for further plots in the roleplay. This is a team effort so you should be a team member. That also means we are all here for one another, so don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. This is not a second job. Let's have fun and make some new friends!
