[OOC] Everbrook: A Teenage Mystery RP

[DruSM157]

I wake up to new and updated sheets! This is great!

Okay edit so I stop double posting: We have 8 sheets now and I know I have a few people still working on sheets. They have until Monday to get these sheets done. Next week is gonna be a doozy for me since I have to move a classroom and a house in one week so that will be...fun. But I will have posts going out throughout the week regardless because I am a crazy person.

So, here's the bad news: I only have 7 slots to work with. 8 is a big number in the lore I've devised for this RP, so sadly there's going to be characters that are accepted and those that aren't,

This doesn't mean that I'm throwing anyone to the curb or calling them trash; even if someone isn't accepted, if a player has to drop the RP for any reason, I will work their character out of the RP and work one of the characters in the "waiting room" into the RP.

Anyways, be aware of characters that seem similar! I won't make any final judgments on sheets until the weekend, so if you update stuff, please lemme know! Egads did a great job updating their sheet.

I edited my original character post to explain how Lila and her dad ended up in Everbrook, but did you want me to repost it?

@Lirriia

It’s totally fine! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll update my list of the apps with your new information :)

@DruSM157

Makes a whole lotta sense for a spooky rp. If something doesn't work out with player being able to keep posting for some reason, their character can become a part of the lore and meet a bad end IC, and meanwhile there are extra team members on the bench to fill that spot.

@Lirriia I'm liking what you are doing with your CS. Lisa's story is increasing my instinct to sit back and eat popcorn while reading it now.

[Carlyle]

I might add more to my CS but idk yet. I feel like I could add more but Drew said it was alright so /shrug

[Still Lake]

Golly, now I feel like I should go add more to my CS to keep up with y'all.

I don't know who wins this arms race, but it'll probably do wonders for our characters, haha.

[DruSM157]

The character arms race begins.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting with my Will CS the way it's going to be. Hard to deny myself entry into the RP :P

[Lirriia]

[Akayaofthemoon]

Yeah...not sure how this is gonna go for me >.>

I nervously want to add more but I think I am just gonna let the fates take it from here....unless I decide to make it prettier....I’m digging the two different colors people are adding.

P.S. EDIT - Everyone’s characters are awesome so far and loving the updates! <3

[Akayaofthemoon]

It’s already submitted...somewhere in here lol

But thank you for the kind words ^-^

[DruSM157]

I will say this: so far I have seen no character that I had an instantaneous knee-jerk reaction of no towards. Once I actually sit down and do my English teacher write up for what works and what doesn't, but no character feels 100% out of place in Everbrook.

What I'll probably do once I see how many sheets I'm looking at this weekend is to arrange characters in 100% locks on what character dynamics and who would fit best with certain aspects of the story, then the next list will be strong characters that round out the group. After that, it's just picking the final cast and making a lineup of characters that can come in. I will say this: the amount of interaction in the OOC has been a plus for everyone that's been in here since it shows that there's an investment in the RP. I love Guild but many RPs I've done in the past have lived and died on player investment (my own too, sometimes!).

@DruSM157

Eloquently put, the more investment and personal chatting outside of the RP always makes for a higher rate of success plus I am just the kind that likes to make friends with those I RP with. It is kind of boring when something lively isn’t going on but I do have ADD sooo maybe that is why. XD

I am glad to hear that there are no screaming NO so far. Those are never fun, that is for sure. It does sound like a solid elimination process and am excited to see how it turns out, even if I don’t end up making it. As they say, you win some and you lose some.

@Lirriia

I agree! Seems like a really great group :3

[Fever Dream]

Here's to hoping that I explained Amy's background well enough cause that nervousness has crept in lol.

[mickilennial]

I'm pretty confident with my sheet, tbh.
