Appearance:

Ritz has facial features sculpted by god himself, cheekbones reaching for the heavens with a jawline sharper than a razor blade and deep-brown eyes that pierce through even the densest souls. His exceptionally smooth light-brown skin free of blemish shows that he puts effort in maintaining his looks because he believes that even though people rarely admit it; appearances play a huge part on impressions. Ritz stands at about 5 feet and 9 inches which is something he wishes he could still improve on. Even though he's well aware that at his age a growth spurt isn't happening anytime soon, thus he hacks it with thick insoles so plot twist, he will appear about 5'11 inches tall. While being fairly skinny, Ritz actually eats a heap ton and always has the munchies, his body has a fast metabolism so his weight has never been a concern but his eating habit can get pretty intense. The young man has a few muscles here and there, he can carry his weight and also has surprisingly great stamina. Although he's naturally a lighter haired brunette he's come to embrace a darker dye for his hair, as it gives him a more striking appeal standing among the bright-haired people of the west. He usually styles his crown in a fashionable "it looks like I slept on this" side part that actually takes a bit of time to make up.

And though Ritz likes looking handsome, he's big on socializing and attending to people so he also knows that pretty things can be quite hard to approach that's why there is an inviting smile plastered on his face by default. You'd also probably catch him making faces that either brightens up a room or completely destroys it. He likes dressing up in street casual wear, either in layers or over-sized shirts and hoodies. He loves bringing out the dress coats when he needs to be formal and he enjoys occasionally getting up in colorful patterned button-downs. Ritz would honestly wear anything: dresses? mascot costumes? body paint? a single leaf of paper? nothing is out of the question... unless it's something disrespectful, well okay so maybe not just anything. He has a small surgical scar just an inch above his right ear bruised by a wood shrapnel from an incident in high school.

Personality:

// Artistic // Personable // Dependable // Self-Sufficient // Impulsive // Headstrong // "Crafty" // Adventurous //

Because of his family's background, Ritz has always tried to be a person his family could rely on and the practice has completely bled into his life. Ritz is heavy on attempting to succeed in something, until proven impossible, by then he'd get crafty and find a way to at least break even. One thing he has come to build up even back in his childhood was self-sufficiency; meaning being independent and able to stand his own ground which sometimes may seem like over-confidence and naivety to some people but his repertoire speaks for itself.

"Intrusively Enthusiastic" are the two words that fit together to describe Ritz perfectly. He likes doting on people, it doesn't matter their age, he'll act like a long lost mother to people in need and sometimes it can get a little out of hand. Maybe it's his perpetual need to be validated by everyone or maybe it's just a habit he can't quite get rid of, even if he'd been told off many times. He loves being adored and in turn is also very vocal when it comes to supporting people, for him it's a tool to help drown out the nagging feeling of being alone and allows him to bring smile to people's faces even if it may be unwarranted. Do you need a pipe fixed? call Ritz! need help on your paperwork? definitely hit up Ritz. Want someone to read you a bedtime story in full performance and high throttle? Ritz is your guy. Just needing for a perpetual presence lurking at your peripheral? you know the drill, ring Ritz up! The guy just loves attention and feeling needed, it's almost a curse.

So then, is he a Yes man? uhm absolutely and it gets him in trouble sometimes thanks to his impulsiveness but don't worry he always finds ways to spin things around for the better... well, of course it doesn't work everytime. The pull and thrill of unplanned things may actually be Ritz' one downfall and it's something he desperately tries to repress. Call it luck but the big reason Ritz hasn't gotten into big terribly horrible accidents yet is because of his younger sister and his ex boyfriend, they've always been the two paranoid people in his life who would steer his big driven ass to safety but they're pretty far away now so Ritz might be in trouble. Truth be told, Ritz actually depend heavily on the synergy of the people in his life even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Another big part of Ritz' personality is his investment in the arts, especially with media that are heavy on storytelling. His creative instinct comes naturally and though he can't quite paint like the greats, he does his best with learning the technicalities to produce distinctive work. However his main focus and definitely his life's biggest passion is building lore; giving life and form to stories no matter the intention and method. To Ritz, life fulfillment is to continuously bring out the magic of a tale in every piece of art he makes, be it an illustration, a photograph, a dish, a film, a poem, a song, a dance routine or a whole stage production.

Habits:

-He's always carrying some kind of snack, be it a candy, rice cake, Bert's bakes or something homemade that he has pre-packed.
-Ritz has a habit of bluffing for fun.
-Is very into myths and paranormal stories, he especially loves the ones that circulate around Silvervale and is actually planning on making an investigative web show based on them.
-Hates being idle and always makes sure he's at least making progress with something productive, a big multi-tasker. But he exclusively reserves weekend nights to just chill out, unless something gravely needs to get done. He's been big into DIYs and Crafting lately. Do note that he will drop everything if someone calls him for help.
-Likes confined spaces, he actually set up a cute little fort in his room that he uses as a workstation. He also really oddly enjoys situations where people are cramped in small spaces.
-Makes faces to break awkward silences or to just fuck around and catch someone off guard with a laugh, he also does this shrill scream/shrieking sound out of the blue to achieve the same effect.
-Does a weird thing of ending every conversation with "Do you need help with anything (/else)?"
-When he suddenly thinks up of an idea for a story, he makes a voice memo on his phone no matter where he is or whatever he was doing beforehand. So sometimes he'd stop mid-conversation to record an idea.

Background:

Ritz was born out of wedlock between Eleanor (Youngsik) Gang and Kyunghee Jeong, the former was born and raised in LA while the latter originated from Gangnam, South Korea. Eleanor was a mechanic and worked as a seafarer, and chanced upon Kyunghee and her affluent family during their course on Asian shore.

Parent's Background

Their relationship was a slow burn because of the man's work, it started off with dedicated courtship which was momentarily hindered by Kyunghee's family unwilling to give away their daughter due to prior arrangements. During this time, Ritz was conceived and as Kyunghee was unable to persuade her family, she decided to run off with Eleanor to L.A. where they eventually started a life together under his family's blessing and support. Eleanor continued working and Kyunghee found a job as a pre-school teacher, they were living a stable life enough to bring in another child to the family.

Ritz grew into a healthy bright toddler despite initially exhibiting a very quite demeanor. A year and a half after Ritz was born, Gwendolyn came into the picture and now with two kids, their family grew more intimate. Even though Eleanor wasn't around for the first 6 years of Ritz' life, they kept a very close relationship through correspondence via calls and mails. Eleanor and Kyunghee was very invested in keeping their family's close ties, no matter what the cost. Ritz and Gwen lived blissfully and grew up as very loving children even if they were quite sheltered under their parent's care. The kids never really experienced much of the customs from their Korean heritage because of their mother's disdain for it. Though they did get to experience some food and stories from their paternal grandparents, until they passed that is. Ritz initially used his initials for his english name, MG when he started going to school. Eleanor inherited his parent's house from which they stuck around, come 8 years into Ritz' life, his mother showed symptoms of an onset Degenerative disease. Kyunghee was diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1, a degenerative disease that affects the locomotive of those with the illness joined with cognitive impairments.

The battle with Ataxia

It was a fatal blow to their peaceful life, at his mid 40s, Eleanor had to retire early to take care of his wife and kids hands on. For the first two years since being diagnosed, Kyunghee could still function to help around the house but her memory started to degrade and she started having episodes of muscular tensing. She started receiving treatment and physical therapy for this, for the latter half of those two years, the local hospital was good enough for her. But then more symptoms kicked in and it became much harder for Kyunghee to move around, her body was starting to deteriorate slowly and painfully. As recommended by Kyunghee's physician, the family looked to Minneapolis for better facilities. She got care under a more focused treatment, which ultimately also cost them a fortune, they tried to get help from government healthcare but it wasn't enough. They had to sell their former house and moved into a smaller apartment in Minneapolis, it was a hard move for the kids, especially since they'd have to enroll in a new school and having no prior experience outside their sheltered life, it was a struggle for both Gang kids moving into a new environment.

Although they had enough money to go by, Eleanor had to work short contractual jobs in order to sustain Kyunghee's treatment. During their 3 year stay in Minneapolis, her battle with the illness proved not much of an improvement, as her condition started getting worse. Gwen and Ritz started to come out of their shell, learning to adapt into their new environment at a public school. Their parents of course tried their best to make the next two years in Minneapolis as smooth as possible, ups and downs were inevitable. This was around the time Ritz found his passion in illustrating and photography, fueled with inspiration from his city and the inevitable escapism forming in his head. Ritz turned into a street wise kid, helping his father with household chores while growing into a splendid artist, winning awards at inter-school competitions with his paintings. The local newspaper also took a shine to his photographs sent in by his school and learning of his mother's condition, gave him a feature in their columns. They also helped him out with some cash by buying his photographs under the guise of using them for the paper. At the age of 12, Ritz was building quite a name for himself even if it was under such tragic circumstances.

The emotional turmoil eventually came into the scene once Kyunghee became partially paralyzed, going from crutches to a wheelchair. The kids were inconsolable for the first few weeks, fearing the state their mother was in, it took a lot from Eleanor's strength and resolve to see his family this way. With Kyunghee as she was, there was no light of any improvement so Eleanor decided to move his family out into a more sustainable place with more affordable facilities once Ritz has graduated middle school. They were referred to a non-profit facility in Louisiana, but the city the facility was in was too much of a financial cost to live in so they decided to move to the city right next to it, a quaint yet wonderful strange city named Silvervale.

At the age of 13, Ritz was matured enough to support his father's actions, her younger sister on the other hand was a harder sell. Of course they both were afraid of moving into another city and reintroducing themselves to a new environment but it was for the better. Ritz consoled his sister with promises of better days, and the prospect of new adventures. The kids are learning at an early age that home isn't just the physical comfort of a space. They rented a 2 Bedroom apartment at a very cheap price at Redwood, owned by a funny french baker named Bert. Kyunghee stayed at the facility and eventually came into a more stable condition, albeit still not much different but with the comfort of being used to her symptoms. Gwen continued middle school at the city where Kyunghee was staying in, it was a better arrangement as they get to visit her on the way home to Silvervale. Eleanor continued working contractual jobs while Ritz had to stop school for a year and decided to work as an errand boy for Bert's bakery, this was also when he started learning how to cook while he also continued to pursue his passion for the arts. He attended a local youth music workshop at the university every weekend, learning various instruments almost every month though not exactly mastering them. He had a certain hunger for learning artistic skills that he just needs to keep on feeding. At one point he also joined the community choir and then the marching band, he never really stayed put though. With the permission of Bert, Ritz also opened a small booth at the bakery selling hand made crafts and postcards that captured the strange landmarks of Silvervale. Eleanor was so happy to see his son thriving, he also built a friendly relationship with Bert and his then wife, Marissa. His kids never really needed a sitter but that's what he considered the couple. A year in Silvervale went by gracefully and the Gang family had a wonderful time, they even made friends and have come to learn tales about the city.

But then came another turn in their family's story when the facility taking care of Kyunghee closed down due to lack of funds, she was referred to another place at the rurals of Portland where a different approach to the treatment was being used. At this point, Eleanor knew there wasn't much hope for Kyunghee to improve her condition, it broke his heart but she loved her to the point of seeing everything through. It was a harder move this time around as they've grown quite a liking to the charming city, even Ritz thought maybe he could just stay behind but they were a family that stuck together and this move isn't any different than the ones before. Come Gwen's elementary graduation, they head out after with the promise of visiting or maybe even coming back one day. The rurals of Portland was a new landscape for them, they've always lived in the city, seeing great pastures and farms after farms was refreshing. It was idyllic, and Kyunghee confessed if she were to leave soon, she'd like it to happen here. The couple decided this was the last move they're going to make, this is where they settle down no matter how Kyunghee's condition changes. They got a nice house right by the outskirts of town, right next to a farm and they had enough plot to actually start making a small farm of their own. The town square wasn't that far ahead and the school was just a 15 minute walk away. The facility for Kyunghee was pretty close, so this time she could actually stay at their new home, provided they get her a caretaker so she can be closely watched.

Ritz and Gwen started high school together, it was a nice prospect coming into a new environment together. It was a lot harder this time though as high school kids can be very cruel and they experienced their first bouts with bullying and discrimination. Gwen and Ritz were easy targets, being new to the town and not really knowing a lot of people, plus it wasn't exactly the most progressive place. Of course, this only gave Ritz more reason to persevere, he's exactly the type of person to thrive under pressure and had that "I'll show them all" mentality written on his forehead. Ritz came into a huge habit of doting on his family, cooking food, making sure their rooms are clean, doing the laundry and being an all around pleasant kid. It was both the pressure of under taking Kyunghee's maternal role and his constant need of approval from everyone, it didn't really bother him, he actually felt fulfillment from it. Academically, Gwen did much better than his older brother though she became somewhat of a recluse from the crowd. Ritz though getting above par with academics could never compete with her sister in this regard but where his sister faltered, he succeeded. Eleanor continued working contractual jobs, sometimes being designated outside of town for a few weeks. He depended heavily on his kid's being independent at such a young age, it's not like any of them had a choice about it so they made do, even strengthening their understanding and love for each other.

Ritz turned into somewhat of a hypersocial enigma, eventually getting into the student body, joining the drama club and the track team. This was when MG picked up the name Moritz, from one of his favorite characters in theatre. In school, they acted like normal teenagers and sometimes gets into a little bit of trouble. At home, the two were very different people, becoming young mature individuals who helped out in the house and cares for their sick mom. There was only one place where the two felt most at ease and able to really let themselves loose, it wasn't actually a place, it was when they're with one person: Clarke. Clarke was their next door neigbor, the kid from the farm, he was a frail and quiet kid that grew a liking to the Gang kids. When Clarke, Ritz and Gwen are together, they're just teenagers having a laugh and putting on random stage plays with farm animals as an audience. For some reason, it was easy being with Clarke because there were no pretensions of any sort. 2 years into their stay and Kyunghee became fully paralyzed, a few months after and she started contracting heart attacks and then one fatal episode eventually got her. Of course weren't ready to say goodbye but they knew it was coming, still it didn't feel any better even if they've been preparing for it. It was a a quick but solemn funeral, they didn't really have many relatives and they've only made a few friends in town.

The grieving was slow and went creeping on the house, it was strange, death does that. Eleanor was sorry for his kids and mad at the world for having given them such a tough time, he started drinking. Ritz became quite, reclusive even while Gwen was inconsolable, crying every night to sleep but Clarke was there through all of it, his family also became good friends with theirs so they at least had the company. Their house became eerily quiet, they barely talked like they used to and they just exchanged glances like they were avoiding to talk about their loss. It stayed that way for months, but Eleanor decided it was up to him to put a stop to the grieving, he owes it to his kids at least. He put his foot down and talked it out with the two, Ritz still remembers it as the longest night of his life, they were crying into each other, remembering memories of Kyunghee fondly this time. That was the time Ritz learned that talking it out really did wonders for people, it was also the same time he decided to come out about his sexuality, everything came out that night. The three of them promised that no matter what happens they'll stay a family, even if the two kids will move out one day. They decided to live fully to honor Kyunghee from then on.

Eleanor had saved enough money to start up a mechanic station, he opened up their garage, bought his own equipment and became the town's unofficially designated mechanic. He was good at fixing things, so his business did well, at this point also gaining more friends in town. Gwen and Clarke started learning how to properly socialize with people under Ritz' guidance, they were thriving again and things started looking up. Inevitably Clarke and Ritz started dating before they even realized they were, they were an odd couple but it worked; Clarke grounded Ritz whenever he flew too close to the sun and Ritz taught Clarke how to believe in himself. High School was tricky but the Gang kids were craftier so it went by as smooth as butter. Since coveting production roles in high school, Ritz has come to realize that performing and producing might actually be his forte while Gwen decided that she'd like to be an agriculturist having grown an interest in the field. Both graduated with honors, Gwen wanted to take a gap year while Ritz was too eager to start university right ahead. Ritz decided to apply for a scholarship at Silvervale University which he's grown an intense liking to for their reputation with the arts, and he did promise to go back so it was two birds with one stone. He got in with a grant, although it was harder for him to let go of his dad and Gwen than they were of him, always the worrywart for his family. It was around this time that Clarke and Ritz started growing out of their relationship too, it just happened out of nowhere and completely took Ritz by surprise, they broke up a day before Ritz moved out.

Silvervale sounded perfect to Ritz, thankfully it's still the strange funny town it's always been. Ritz dreams of eventually making it big either on stage or the big screen someday, and hopes to really get a dig into the bones of the performing and visual arts; it's the whole reason he's taking his degree. Now living in Redwood for four months and coming to terms with work and uni, Ritz keeps on thriving. Though plenty has actually changed in Silvervale and his insatiable thirst/lowkey impulsiveness for adventure is growling.

Extra:

NPCs

FAMILY:

Eleanor (Youngsik) Gang (60)
Ritz has a great relationship with his dad, they're each other's biggest supporters. Since that one night their family turned grieving for Kyunghee, Eleanor and Ritz has promised to always have each other's backs no matter what, since then they've never shied away from being open with one another. Eleanor can get a bit negligent of himself and Ritz always worries for him, despite his son wanting him to retire, he keeps working at his shop, Ritz believes he got his persistence and headstrong attitude from Eleanor.

Gwendolyn (Gyuri) Gang (19 turning 20)
Gwen and Ritz were inseparable as kids even if they were complete polar opposites. Gwen was the calmer, more regressive sibling while Ritz was the aggressive and personable one. They had this symbiotic relationship that allowed the both of them to grow into well-adjusted individuals as they helped each other out by learning from each other's success and failures. Gwen always plays up that Ritz inherited the maternal instinct between the two of them, which is actually very true to begin with. She does lowkey worry about her brother when he's alone and separated from her and their dad, she knows him the best out of anyone and though he doesn't admit it is afraid of being left out.

Kyunghee Jeong (deceased, died at 52)
Ritz loved his mother, and as Eleanor was quite absent for the first 6 years of his life, Kyunghee was full on the one who helped Ritz develop his early senses. Even in her first years of battling Ataxia, she always put her kids first and tried her best to let them have as normal of a childhood as they could. She loved telling stories to Ritz, of days when she used to travel the world and her grand childhood. She was a frustrated writer and was probably Ritz' introduction for his love of storytelling, he hopes to one day make her proud by making it big or at least leaving some impression in the media industry.

OTHERS:

Clarke Gabriel Griffith (20)
Ritz' bestfriend turned first ex-boyfriend turned "what even are we anymore actually?". Because of his deep ties with the Gang family, his breakup with Ritz is a bit of a complication, he still hangs around with Gwen and Eleanor because they're actually really good friends. Because of their conflicting interest and aspirations, the ex couple decided to break up and try out other things, they still aren't sure of what to make of each other at the moment. Ritz' still lowkey actually feels affection for the guy.

Occupation: Baker/Landlord || Age: 44

Hider

At first glance, one would mistake his resting glare face for a stoic man but he's actually just an eccentric french baker with a very welcoming and attentive attitude.

---

---

Genevieve "Vivi" Fouquet (Location: Redwood Apartments)
Occupation: ball of sunshine || Age: 7

Vivi

Bert's little angel, she's a bright kid who hangs around the lounge area of Redwood after school, usually playing with toys in front of the tv. Unlike his dad, she has an ever present grin on her face. Viv can be quite precocious and likes talking with adults, she claims she can't stand other kids because they make a mess of things and are just so rowdy. She can also be seen lounging at the bakery with a lump of dough in front of her.

---

---

Glitter "Glitz" Justice (Location: Rebecca's Hole)
Occupation: Barkeep/Founder of Pink Barrel || Age: *undisclosed*

Hider

Fishy and Fierce while serving you looks and drinks, THE Drag Queen of Silvervale. Owns the chillest bar in Rebecca's Hole: The Pink Barrel, known for their promise of being inclusive and welcoming to anyone who wants a calm and refreshing drinking experience... ON THE WEEKDAYS, because on the weekends, it's an entire party and THEN SOME.

---

---

Hannah "Han" Ingrid Tucket (Location: Silvervale University)
Occupation: Student @ SVU, Majoring in Mass Communications / Community Radio Host || Age: 24

Hider

A.k.a "Lady Hit" by her listeners, a girl of many words, she can literally talk for hours on end and has a very good sense of working people into and out of things which is a very helpful skill in her choice of a career. If your good enough friends with her, you can probably call her up to get rid of a dead body but don't expect much in terms of emotional support, that's a whole 'nother level. A decent enough friend when put to the task. She has lots of connections and she'd be willing to do errands for a little something in return.

---

---

Mayor Emilia "MM" W. Griffith (Location: Plaza)
Occupation: Mayor of Silvervale || Age: 38

Hider

The hardworking, self-sacrificing, slightly paranoiac, occasionally high-strung mayor of Silvervale. Daughter of a business mogul and one of the nation's leading Philanthropists. They say she can get pretty intimidating when she's off on serious business but no one's actually seen her act this way, or at least no one talks about it. Emilia is a model leader, and is beloved by almost everyone in Silvervale because she does her best to keep her city in check, always making sure her citizens are happy and seems to have invested her entire networth to the city. Of course, she also sometimes have her shortcomings but she's always hands on when it comes to serving her people. Who doesn't love Emilia?

---

---

Officer Shelley Isaacs (Location: Plaza)
Occupation: Major Inspector of Silvervale's local police force || Age: Early 30s

Officer Isaacs

Officer Isaacs is one of the more dedicated police officers in the local force and she probably has the most intuitive mind out of anyone in Silvervale, well she claims to be anyway. She has 3 kids, a loving husband and a trademark soccer mom grit which it turns out, translates well in police work. Though not necessarily the most chatty type and can seem quite intimidating with her tall stature, she tries to accommodate Silvervale's citizens to the best of her abilities. If you have something that needs solving, don't be shy to come by the station and look for Shelley Isaacs. Oh and she loves her caffeine, she's practically addicted to it.

---

---

Danika "Nika" Varma (Location: Marketplace)
Occupation: Owner of Morning Star (Antiquities & Gift Shop) || Age: *undisclosed*

Nika

Nika is a bit of an oddball with a fascination for strange trinkets and supernatural musings. Most people would dismiss Nika for her strange habits but she's actually a really savvy businesswoman with a very keen passion for the trade and collection of antiquities and exotic art. She's quite friendly if you can get pass her difficulty to focus on a conversation. She makes good tea and would probably have whatever it is your looking for that you can't find elsewhere, limited to objects of course.

---

---

Jeffrey "Big Jeff" Davis (Location: The Cauldron)
Occupation: Head Cook/Founder of The Cauldron || Age: Late 40s

Big Jeff

Goofy, loud and as hearty as his meals. Jeff serves comfort foods with a signature delight that you won't find elsewhere. His family has run The Cauldron for more than a 100 years now and it's the best place to go to if you need a little pick me up while filling your stomach, or if you're too drunk to find your apartment keys and need to sober up for a bit.

---

---

Casper Santino Espinoza (Location: Tinker Base)
Occupation: Takes every odd job he can get / Taking a Master's degree in Entrepreneurship @SVU|| Age: 26

Tino

Tino is a fixture in the mall, and he goes around jobs faster than you can say indecisive, one month he's a barista then come next week he's folding clothes at Urban Outfitters. It's not that he's bad at doing his work, it's that he just wants to try everything he can get his hands on and he doesn't even need the money because he's living off a trust fund. The odd thing is how he has time to take a job while taking his masters degree. He's quite and observant and probably knows more than he should about Silvervale and it's mallgoers.

---

---

Redwood Apartments, Silvervale, LA

It's Silvervale's annual foundation fair, a week long celebration of its uniquely strange history will be commemorated by locals, tourists and passersby. The city has been restlessly preparing for the festivities for two months and the fruits of their labor is soon graciously to be had, sure there were some incidents involving a few vandalized landmarks and some unwanted delay because of some recently detained basement dwellers. BUT colorful cute little tents and banners line the streets, silver trinkets twinkle and glisten as they adorn the decorative trees lining the pathwalks, a warm and welcoming rowdiness permeates the atmosphere, funny stories about a few of the commemorative statues moving about are being told, the smell coming from the essence of various cuisine wafts through the air, busy bodies lurk about making sure things are in order and everyone is having a merry time, rumours about strange figures running around at ungodly hours are whispered, tourists marvel at the newly polished landmarks trying to take in everything as they walk through every alley, they say there's a strange detour in the city tour and everyone's slightly bothered when they come out of it but people still go, people chanting merry songs as they throw small parties of their own, the mayor roams around town surveying people's needs as much as she can, there's an entire adventure for everyone to take on, it's a week long celebration and you have about more than enough activities to get lost in. Regardless of what you choose to do, you're bound to stumble into something worth your time, it's Silvervale and there's never a dull moment in the funny little city. HAPPY 101st Silvervale!

You can't remember when you took it or who gave it to you but you unfolded the flyer from your pocket and it read:

Get acquainted with Silvervale:

A funny little city on the outskirts of Louisiana, Silvervale is known for its strange sometimes dark history that its locals unapologetically commemorate through various festivals and traditions. The city has idyllic areas mixed in with modern aesthetics. There’s a quirky perpetual fog that gives it a blue-ish silver look that even translates well in photographs, so everywhere you turn your bound to find a photo perfect opportunity. Previous fact is also attributed to the impressive tourist traffic in the city, aside from its prolific landmarks and festivities. The locals of Silvervale are very inviting even if sometimes weird, well… quirky. Silvervale’s streets and landmarks are named after the executed residents from day’s old, most of which have their own little artifact and pointers telling their tale: how they lived, what they were accused of and how they died. This was under the efforts of the city to honour those that were wronged from such dreadful times, it’s quite the trip to look through and learn each of them. There are rumours that it’s more a superstitious act to ward off a curse more than it was anything, but you know, Silvervale is full of tales.

A brief read-up on "The Great Three":


_{Back in the day the town was mostly known to be the home of it's infamous witches, which later on contributed to the traditional practices and modern day festivals of Silvervale. Aurelia “The Mystica” Willard, was a noble woman; Initially a young Spanish ‘slave’ sold by her father to a wealthy elderly English nobleman, Benjamin Willard to be his bride. They later migrated to the Americas, on a small settlement in the fringes of thick lush marshes and woodlands somewhere in new New Orleans. When Benjamin died under mysterious circumstances, Aurelia became the head of the household and through his husband's abandoned wealth, she had lived the rest of her life, in grandiose and fame, spending on material things: sex and exclusive soirees amongst her fellow nobility. Notorious for being a cruel and conniving woman, she had her way with getting what she wants, thus being both feared and respected in the small community plus equally earning her a grand number of enemies. She had a young personal servant, named Rebecca Marks who literally sold her soul to Aurelia. Some say she was a thrall under Aurelia's spell, some say they were actually lovers, but either way history had little to no information on the true nature of their relationship. Another name of note was Emilia La Fontaine's: the local bordello madam, who in more than one occasion has been accused of dabbling in witchcraft. Adding to that fact, there are a number of instances where men, most commonly of notorious statuses, would go missing in the area, the bordello being their last known location. Nobody really knows where they have gone. At some point she had been in correspondence with Mystika, it is said that both were dabbling with the demonic arts among other things. Both had been punished for these accusations, along with Aurelia's beloved servant for her supposed involvement... all three women were executed in horrific fashions to get dispelled of their demonic ties. This is just one of the many tales surrounding the city's strange history. Silvervale has since compensated for its barbaric ways by honoring the dead through festivities and commemorations, thus the birth of it's fascinating profile.}

LOCATIONS:

Rebecca's Hole

REBECCA'S HOLE (Bar/Club Strip)

---

---

One of Silvervale’s prolific landmarks: known for its thriving pubs and clubs often visited by tourists coming in for Silvervale’s night life but is also frequented by a huge number of the local university’s students. Named to commemorate Rebecca Mark, one of the Three Witches executed during the 1600s when condemning progressive female figures is a pretty common occurrence. In spite of its dark history, it is now a very welcoming space for just about anyone wanting to relieve stress and get, as the locals say it, FUKT’UP though do be wary of the occasional pub fights.

Silvervale University

SILVERVALE UNIVERSITY -"SVU" (University)

---

---

Home of the Tinkerheads, the 100 year old University built by the first revolutionaries of Silvervale. Its mission is to wholly develop the abilities, skills, intellect and EQ of its students leading them towards bringing something new to society. The university is known for bringing about Inventors and Artists, and as such is prolific for the arts. The University has 3 separate buildings divided into: Arts, Sciences and Technology. There’s a track field, a football field, an indoor pool, a theatre, and etc.

The Silver Swamp

THE SILVER SWAMP (Actual Swamp)

---

---

A swamp connected to the woods behind the University, a bridge connecting the main path from town to the University was constructed to make way for the students. Although it passes more now as looking like a lake thanks to the beautification efforts of the city’s governing bodies –All hail the Tinkers!!- , this body of water is actually a swamp. This was where Aurelia “The Mystika” Willard was executed, being fed to the crocodiles by a wilding mob. During the city festival/foundation fair, it is a tradition to throw in silver trinkets into the lake as a way of honouring Mystika and her contribution to the history and progress of the city. The silver trinkets also give the swamp a silver blue-ish glow that ultimately became its namesake.

The Woods

THE WOODS (It's a forest)

---

---

A huge forest behind the university, connected to the Silver Swamp. There are some abandoned establishments within its grounds that make for a fun exploration if you’re not afraid of the wildlife and the legends that surround it. They say if you stay quiet enough and block out the noise of wildlife you can hear whispers and wailing from within the woods. Another story claims there’s a boogie man living some miles deep and should you find yourself within its domain, you’ll end up getting tickled to death before becoming a stew –they call it, the Canibuk.

Marketplace

THE TRADE CENTER (Marketplace)

---

A thriving and bustling part of town, this is where you can get your dry and wet goods. They’ve got, meat, fruits, seafood, fresh flowers, seedlings, crafting supplies, first-aid kits, beating animal hearts, bottles of tears, used surgical gloves, and plenty more sweet deals. At the center of the marketplace is the Circle where artisans; local and foreign, set up booths on the weekends to showcase their works and eventually make profit, ANYONE’s welcome to sell ANYTHING at the circle. The previous statement also brings in quite a percentage of tourists into the city.

Plaza

The Plaza (An actual plaza, surprisingly yet to be named)

---

---

The core of the city, it’s wide enough for people to congregate on during the many festivities of Silvervale. Lined with benches and trees, it is often adorned by decorations that change monthly and most likely based on the current celebration being held. The Plaza is often crowded on the weekends by tourists and locals alike, marvelling at the decorations or just hanging out. Just 40 years ago, a gallows was fixed dead centre of the plaza where plenty of people were executed back in the day. It has since been replaced by a platform made entirely out of silver and aluminium that somehow still hasn’t lost its shine nor has any sort of blemish or scratch. There’s a small playground on the east corner of the plaza dedicated to the Lost Kids, some orphans who mysteriously disappeared 400 years ago.

The Cauldron

THE CAULDRON (Famous Diner)

---

---

A rustic chic diner located in a 4 story complex in front of the plaza, they serve the best stew in the city and at night the aroma of their meals wafts through the plaza. They also serve breakfast 24/7 at a decent price, it’s also usually where most of the bar-goers stumble into at 5 in the morning. The complex housing the diner actually used to be a brothel owned by Emillia La Fontaine, one of the three great “witches”.

Tinker Base

TINKER BASE (The Mall)

---

It’s a mall, somehow it’s the least interesting part of town aside from some rumours about the basement. They’ve got cafes, restaurants, salons, spas, arcades, a big department store, a hardware, and all the usual mall functions. Oh and If you need electronics, this is where to go.

P.S.
OKAY, so, you might remember this rp from 7 months ago, basically life happened for me and a lot of stuff went down and I went awol BUT I'm here now and I'd like to give this another shot.

RP's basically all players interacting with the entire town (which sounds ambiguous and ambitious but what I basically want to do is expound lore as the rp goes, that's why some of the story details are still vague.)
I will encourage players to collaborate with me as a gm to revise and establish the story canon as we go, so if you're into that come on right in, friend. Might turn into a disaster but we'll have fun with it. (But don't worry, I do have base material we'll be working with so it's not a complete shot in the dark)
So, yeah, like collaborative RP or something? It's technically my first time GMing and it sounds about my speed.

First phase of the RP, is basically an introduction to the town, where the players will choose among various town activities to participate in: from which they can unravel backstories from locations and npcs they can incorporate into their character's plot/arcs for future or concurrent use, basically everything's a plot device if you'd want it to be, just don't godmod thanks lul.

_{*note: in between each phase will probably be a time skip*}

For the second phase, I'll be throwing in a little contained arc that will focus on the tenants(players) interacting solely with each other. Take a good guess, how I'll make it... but it might involve being stuck/trapped someplace.

For the third phase, by this point I assume everyone's well-acquainted with each other and probably have an established path for their characters, it'll be free-form so y'all can have freedom to explore.

Then another contained arc, probably sprouting from some absurd festivity the residents of Silvervale have conjured, then freeform again until we all get tired or perish or get inactive, which hopefully won't be for awhile. For any questions/clarifications/concerns just hit me up henny. But that's that,

I look forward to playing with y'all <3

Hey there, first of all, I'm so sorry for ghosting on you guys. I went through a lot of personal matters, moved house and changed employment and I couldn't afford to even get back here which was entirely my choice and fault.

BUT, I'm back now and I'll be giving this rp another try so if any one of y'all still want to play (you can re use your characters or make entirely new ones, up to you.) Please join me, I'll make a new rp thread and lìnk it here a little later HERE IT IS: roleplayerguild.com/topics/177755-red… . I'll just make a few minor adjustments to the town because looking at it now, it's a little too much to handle 😅

Looking forward to getting this back on track 🤞
