Anomaly

Harvest Moon

Haha, alright. I'm going to post the RP tomorrow. I have the maps and character descriptions ready, now I'm just setting everything else up, but it's almost midnight over here, so I may crash soon.

I'm still not sure whether I want my own character to be male or female yet, haha.

Harvest Moon

So you'll probably be in Forget-Me-Not Valley then. I'll be posting images of all the characters as well as a map of both towns, so you won't be left out at all! Mineral Town is really easy to figure out.

That would be cool. I think we have enough people interested to start an rp thread Anomaly, what do you think?

Yup, we do. I've been working on pulling all the info together so I can make the thread. I'm putting a list of all of the NPCs (with images and descriptions for each one) plus a map of both towns and descriptions of each location, so it's taking a little while. I just want to make sure that information is available for everyone in case someone doesn't remember something from one of the games. :)

Also, dndragons, which town do you think you'd like your character to live in? You can probably have a whole farm, especially if you want the Mineral Town one, haha.

I think we would be allowed to take NPC positions since it's a town. not like 8 ranchers.Meaning if a guy was a scientist Daryl would be removed.... though I love Daryl.

Nope, none of the NPC's will be removed. However, that doesn't mean you can't have the same position as a NPC. For example, if you wanted to be a scientist, you could study with Daryl as his assistant or something, or even start your own small business. Of course, you wouldn't come to the town and already have a whole business started. You would have to start from the bottom and work your way up, which could lead to a whole bunch of adventures and stories to play around with.

I'm deciding between playing a doctor, or a miner. Of course, if the important jobs are all taken by NPC's, I'll go with miner, since as far as I remember in Back to Nature, the Player Character does the farming and mining. I'm sure I'll be living in mineral Town since I know all the NPC's there really well.

Nice, have you considered a love interest yet? If you decide to go with playing a miner, maybe Keira (the princess that lives on the 255th floor of the Forget-Me-Not Valley's mine) would be a good choice for you. As for being a doctor, do you think you'd study with Dr. Hardy or Dr. Trent? We could even have the Doctor's Office where Dr. Trent works (in Mineral Town) expand a bit so multiple doctors and nurses can work there. So many options, haha.

Also, I just wanna throw out to anyone, if there is a bachelor/bachelorette that you're really interested in pursuing and they're not from Mineral Town or Forget-me-not Valley, let me know! I can possibly work them into the RP. I'm considering having "visitors" who come to the towns and stay in the Inns.

I'm working on typing all of the info right now. :) There's a lot of details, so it might take a little while.

Harvest Moon

Awesome! That would make exactly six people, which I think would be a perfect amount for this role play. It sounds like a majority of you have either played in Mineral Town or Forget-Me-Not-Valley before, so the areas won't be too unfamiliar to you. I'll also post maps of each town, along with descriptions of each location, and a description of all the characters that live in each town, so even if you are a bit unfamiliar with one of the towns, you'll be able to catch on very easily.

I'll start gathering information and maybe even post the RP tonight. :) Do you guys have any ideas for your characters yet, or where you might want them to work/live?

I kinda envision a caring, yet cold character because of a troubled past.
Or a really peppy person who's oblivious to feelings...Nonetheless. Interested.

I think both of those could play out very well! I'm interested to see which you choose.

Longest time you have stayed awake

Probably three days. You start getting loopy and seeing shit when the third day hits you.

Harvest Moon

Awesome, thanks for the help. :) I put it in my signature on this site as well as another site (where most of my old RP friends used to post, until the website died :/ ). Hopefully some attention will be drawn here. :)

I'm still debating on how I will build my character. Part of me wants to create a moody loner type of character based on someone I created for an old Harvest Moon RP, and another part of me wants to make a brand new, more mature character with entirely different traits. I suppose it will depend on the sorts of characters everyone else decides to create. I'll have to see what will be best-suited.

What Are You Listening To?

My jam.

Harvest Moon

I'm only looking for about 5-6 people to join the RP, so having tons of people won't be an issue (especially since you're the only one who's expressed any interest so far, haha). I was a little worried about land at first, but there is plenty of vacant space in both Mineral Town and Forget-Me-Not-Valley, so I think we'll be fine. Not to mention that both towns have Inns, so there will be plenty of room for people. Plus we can be creative. ;)

Starting at the Inn and expanding to your own place sounds like it could be a good idea. I'm interested to see how you play it out. :)

Well you already know that I'm interested. However my curiosity is are we going to have npcs? or maybe we can have it be the future or past of the areas? Generally the npc's are rather awkward in forget-me-not-valley. I never really liked any of them but Nina and her husband. I suppose I didn't mind the Cilia, and Daryl was a bit halarious... but there npcs were just wierd compared to most HM games. I'm thinking of being a male who wants to open or work in a Cafe. kinda like carl in HM MM but more original character. but this all depends. I would like to think he lives in forget me not valley, but work in Mineral town (God I want to own that game! then again I want to own ALL the HM games...)

Definitely, all the NPC will be in the RP. And really? I feel like the NPC's in Forget-Me-Not-Valley are the most realistic and believable NPCs of all. But of course, since both Forget-Me-Not-Valley and Mineral Town will both be available (and possibly more), you will also have more NPC's available to you for more interesting gameplay. These characters seemed the most normal to me, however, and the characters in other Harvest Moon games always struck me as more weird, haha.

I'm also considering having the option to travel by boat to the Sunshine Islands a possibility, but it depends on whether or not people have played the DS games and are interested in having that feature in the RP. It could end up getting way too messy.

And your idea sounds good to me! Would your café be a part of Doug's Inn, or do you think we'd have a separate building in one of the empty lots?



I'll post that map in the RP as well, and update it as we have more players and more buildings added.
