Harper's Haven, in Maine, is a tiny coastal town, which survives on the tourism dollar of its seasonal guests. During the summer, the population nearly triples, with many wealthy Philadelphians and New Yorkers coming up to stay in their summer homes. It, as a town, is well over two hundred years old and many of the buildings are almost as old as that. It is wedged between Mt. Juniper and the sea shore, offering many beautiful natural settings to be enjoyed.
The infamous Walden family has been the leading family in the community, for over two hundred years. Going back Sir Thomas Walden, there have always been Waldens at Walden Grove. Walden Grove is a small, wooded estate set on the bluffs, overlooking the sea. There is a two hundred year old manor house, fashioned from imported yellow limestone. It is said that his ghost still haunts the mansion, looking for revenge for his bloody murder. In fact, more than one Walden has met a bloody end. There is a history of deformity and insanity which has dogged this famous old family.
Whether you are a member of the Walden clan, a year long resident of Harper's End, or a seasonal tourist, you are welcome in our community.
This is a soap opera game, with MILD touches of the supernatural to it. (example- You might spot a ghost or actually contact a dead relative with a seance.) This means no vampires or werewolves need apply. The writing, and the acting, will be over the top. We are looking for romance, racy material (within the parameters of this community) and revenge. There will be tidal waves, betrayals, affairs, kidnappings and evil twins.
The game is set in 1985. Ronald Reagan has just started his second term. We Are the World is still in the public consciousness. Hair is big and clothing is colorful. It is July 3rd, on a Wednesday. in town, Back to the Future is having its premiere at the local theater. Tomorrow there is a big July 4th celebration planned.
This will be a high end casual game. That means you MUST post one FULL paragraph per post. No one liners. Two or three paragraphs would be appreciated. All characters must have a real photo. All posts must use reasonably easy to read grammar. It does not have to be perfect, but it must be readable.
This will be a mature game, with mature subject matter (PG-13) so I would appreciate those over eighteen applying. Still, this site has standards, so keep all of your R rated material to PMs, and make sure that the other person is eighteen and actually welcomes such things, BEFORE you send them something along those lines. Also PLEASE fade-to-black and continue the story line! I don't want you off PMing and forgetting to write in this actual thread.
