13674 Island Sunset Blvd / A simple Boarding House/Dorm based slice of life RPG

@FrozenEcstacy: Just checking because it seemed possible? Idk. I didn't believe you planned it at any point, but flashbacks to traumatic RPers die hard I guess haha. I'm going to try and write more characters tonight, I'll post again if I do to let everyone know that I did.

@Ramblingbard: I understand man. I haven't read his profile yet, but I will shortly. :3 And by shortly, I mean probably in several hours. Chores yo. Chores.

@FrozenEcstacy: Gotta say, I would never have known he was an adapted character reading Dallas' profile. That's impressive. He seems to be going through some tough shit emotionally, finally escaping from all of the family pressure. I've been considering from the start putting in this pair of mine, a boy from a very rich and influential family and his adopted younger brother who also acts as a sort of follower/servant/helper to him. I've hesitated because I didn't want to bring in anyone with such outlandish backgrounds into the RP myself, but it'd be interesting to see his reactions with Dallas, especially as two people who both grew up with horrendous expectations on them, but who had different opportunities and reacted to it different ways. Think I should throw him in? Or keep him out and stick with less outlandish characters? :P

The only things I'm worried about with your two is this: If they're destined to be together and we're just the audience to said play, please reconsider. So long as we're not just going to watch you play a one-shot with these two's romantic affairs it's cool that they have their close relationship, I just want to know if they're ultra-bro-friend status or two incredibly gay magnets about to crash into each other. X3 Them dating is fine, Dallas jumping in just for them to speed on to a relationship is fine, I just don't want some heavy pre-determination going on in a RP all about making sure we can rp our characters reacting realistically to things. This includes reactions to our own characters. I trust everyone in this thread will be cool about this though. :3 Including you.

Oh, and jobs. Jobs are important. You included jobs in both of their bios, add something to history or notes on how they have those jobs already by the time they moved in, because the RP is starting with people moving in.

@LowKey123: Can I just say that your 'on one hand' was larger than my hand? X3 Good job. Your writing style is so self aware that it almost hurts me to read it in your profile, but its also interesting. Make a post when that profile is no longer a WIP please so I don't miss the update. UPDATE: Read the rest. Holy fuck. Please, for the love of god, don't write the entire rest of your profile like that. In fact, that romance section needs some cleaning up for ease of reading... but I won't critique a WIP. Can I just say though that felt so much like reading someone talking that it hurt. T.T

@Ramblingbard: Can I just say, your profile was normal, I'm all thinking 'eh, a buff guy and a lady charmer isn't unfair. People are just like that.' And thinking that having a jock-based character in the rp may be interesting when.... yo. The note. Dude, don't keep the hidden backstory secret to such an extent in the CS! Have some faith that we, your fellow RPers, won't use any fore-knowledge of your characters deep past to squeeze our characters into situations we want with them and will react naturally!(If anyone doesn't, I will drop VERY angry frowns into their Pm box.) Please redo his history to explain a bit more of where he ACTUALLY comes from, and look over his personality to make sure it really is him and not just his cover personality please. :3 And if your character has some links to Bee's, please PM me about it too.

A slice of life dorm rp? Just an old fashioned typical rp like in the old days?

Just starting off slowly. Its only been a week. X3

@FrozenEcstacy: I swear I should have some questions here but after reading that, I don't really have any. Oh, I guess specify your characters sexuality in romance/sexual whatever for simplicity. I trust that anyone in this RP will be able to resist abusing the fore-knowledge of any character in this RP's sexuality. Even if he's joining far later, please make a profile for Dallas too. I intend to accept Martin, but I want to read a profile from someone he knows(since you plan on dragging him in at some point anyways it sounds like) before I do just to make sure there's no other questions or anything I want to iron out for his profile.

Let me know if you have any questions yourself.

Okay well, lets see how the RP goes. Feel free to submit a CS for both before the RP starts.

13674 Island Sunset Blvd / A simple Boarding House/Dorm based slice of life RPG

@FrozenEcstacy: Well, the RP is starting with everyone beginning to move into the dorms. You can delay one for the first day, or several days if need be. I just want people to have characters that may be active while other characters of theirs are sleeping and ect.

@MST3K 4ever: That's a shame. :( Feel free to join in later if anyone pops into your head!!!

Go ahead and prepare a character then! :3 things are moving at a decent pace so far so we can start once we have more CS's in.

13674 Island Sunset Blvd / A simple Boarding House/Dorm based slice of life RPG

Just making a new post to show that I added characters, since I guess that's somewhat important. Beebee2121's characters Wes Thayer and Ericka Parker have been added to the front page.

EDIT: 2 people so far have given CS's with pictures in the appearance slot. Please write a written description. If you have a reference picture, please hotlink it in a sentence of the appearance, do not insert it as an actual picture please.

Its to encourage realism, but I'll make exceptions for people who don't have time for more than one character. Mostly I don't want people to feel the need for their characters to do something at all times during the RP. Characters sleep, and they also occasionally get tired of interacting with others. Having at least 2 characters reduces the pressure to have one unrealistically involved at all times in the social life of the dorm. If you only make one then odds are somewhat high that there'll be a point in the RP where you'll be forced into a break while either the nightbird characters play, or the early risers do their things.

Also, don't even worry about keeping track of how many females and males there are. The only reason to do that would be if everyone was doing this RP to have their characters hook up, and even if they were, why not have homosexual pairings as well? Dynamics where one gender outnumber the other can actually be interesting, so don't feel guilty if you only really like to RP girls or guys or whatever.

EDIT(11:56am): Quick note, can people give me like the timeframe on when they would have called Greta asking for a room? Just realizing we're going to need to think of whos rooms are next to whos. :P Just do it when you send a profile in.

Also, to the two who already sent one in, so long as there are no issues I'll add it after my 8 hour I'm leaving for right now, later tonight.

EDIT(9:13pm): I swear you guys, you reply one day, gone the next, back the next. Works out since I had a shift today though. :) I have 3 profiles in my inbox pending a few minor changes and then I'll add them. You can feel free to post profiles here or send them to my PM box, depending whether you want the hounds of the thread commenting on it too lol. Please feel free to critique already accepted profiles too, including my own. I mean, especially my own, if something sounds weird in any way please let me know.

Also I kind of love you all <3 Like not in a romantic way but more in a woohooo Rping on a forum again you guys are awesome way. :3 I'll love you slightly more than the rest if you comment on the profiles I've posted here in the thread.

Okay, I have the Grandmother and Granddaughter who run the dorm both up now, and one character of my own up. I may or may not introduce Tai the first day(if at all tbh, still don't know if he'll fit in a fun way), depending how I feel about it. I'm going to pump out one more profile while I'm on a roll.

I didn't do a heavy proofreading, so if you notice anything off/weird about any of the profiles or have any questions let me know. :)

And yeah. I think I'll regulate by 6 hour intervals, and give people frequent little reminders of about how far through those 6 hours they should be. I'll also probably make a point to specify times during my posts when possible.

EDIT(7:26PM): Shae added. For now, she's going to be the only character I really start with in this RP on the first day. I may change my mind later once I see some of your characters though. :)
