The Star Atlantic || Slice of Life RP on a Train

OOC

ALRIGHT I DID IT. Not gonna lie yesterday was a busier day than anticipated, getting afterhours work calls is CRINGE.

You may notice there's not a lot of aesthetics, that's because Lovely usually does those and I'm flying solo on this so it's gonna take me like 87 years to make it pretty.

But I will.

The Star Atlantic

_{|| Genre: Slice of Life || Setting: Modern ||}

For nearly a century, the Star Atlantic has made its sixteen day voyage from London to Athens, making several stops on its journey. Paris, Milan, and Venice are just a few of the hotspots passengers can expect to visit and worry not, passengers on the Star Atlantic are given a room at every stop on the trip at one of the numerous hotels its parent company owns leaving passengers with one less worry on their European tour. The approach to comfort and luxury for everyone aboard and about is just one of the reasons why the Star Atlantic is the first name in locomotive tourism. You haven't truly seen Europe until you've seen it from the window of a Star Atlantic car with your fellow passengers; truly there's something special about a tangle of strangers pressed together for days on end with nothing in common other than the need to go from one place to another!

If you can’t afford the expensive ticket to ride, don’t worry — as part of its centennial celebration, the Star Atlantic is offering a lottery system. Anyone can sign up, and there’s a chance to be among five lucky winners who will enjoy the Star Atlantic’s luxury free of charge!

Originally owned by a Belgian company, the Star Atlantic has been halted for almost two years while undergoing a transition to a wealthy American family. There have been a few changes during the transition, namely the management and updating of the coaches to be more modern. While some purists online haven’t approved of the changes, claiming they’re ruining the spirit of the engine by updating it with modern amenities, the Star Atlantic is seeing a resurgence of success — some people point to the most controversial change: a new rule dictating that you must be eighteen years or older to travel on the Star Atlantic.

The Star Atlantic’s kitchen staff is one of the only things the new owners haven’t changed. They believe the food and dessert offered on the locomotive to already be top notch. However, they have hired a new bartender, and the alcohol flows freely on the train. Neither food nor drink come at a price for passengers on this train.

Despite the online complaints from the somewhat passionate fanbase an old train seems to have, the current conductor, James Lincoln, has no plans to back down from the change. With a statement that plainly says he cannot be held responsible for what boredom, anonymity, and a constant gentle rocking brings on the train, Mr. Lincoln is preparing to embark on the Star Atlantic’s first trip under its new ownership, and its first of the line’s 100th anniversary.

The Star Atlantic

Rules:

• Don’t Be an Asshole
• Post deadline will be once every two weeks; the RP will start on the 5th of March
• Character sheet deadlines are set for the 4th of March

Hi everyone! This might start earlier if character sheets come in earlier, but this is what I’m looking at for dates. I tend to try to give more time than is really necessary, it is the best way. Anyway, where do you guys want to start? Boarding the train, or after the train has already started rolling? I’m open to whatever, and want to see what everyone wants! If you guys have any questions, comments, or suggestions, leave them below and I'll respond post haste.

The character sheet is over → there in the char tab, yes it’s really small. We all hate doing them don’t lie.

I'm still intending to have the OOC up this evening! I'll hopefully have it ready to go in a few hours. If you guys have any questions or comments for me before then, please let me know.

Oh we're taking it BACK back with no discord LOL! I'm fine with whatever! Nice change of pace tbh. Can't wait to see the thread!

@Venus

If people want a discord I'll totally make one! I just figure it's fine without.

The Star Atlantic || Slice of Life RP on a Train

I will probably get the OOC up before Wednesday. Since the group is mostly people I know, I think the sheet will be pretty straightforward.

Also since the group is mostly people I know I'm not really planning on making a Discord server unless you guys want to, I don't think it's giga necessary for something this smol.

As an aside, I'm gonna use Sebastian Stan as my FC, just to put it out there ahead of time

Ya know I'm in it!

ALso my guy! The song linked. I didn't think anyone cool listened to Lovage.

Anyway, definitely gotta think about a character and whether or not I wanna go male or female.

@metanoia

Fab helped me find the song! I can't claim credit for it haha

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read this interest check! For this roleplay, everyone will be playing passengers on a train traveling through Europe and making stops in some famous tourist hotspots. It will be fairly freeform, with stops at the hotels lasting just a brief day and night before the journey begins again in the morning! I’m planning on a two week deadline for posting, and a one character per writer rule.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or comments and thank you for your interest!
