Welcome to Sanctuary, a small rural town hidden deep within the mountains of Colorado.

In the early 1900's Sanctuary brought people from far and wide to mine the mountains which were rich with gold. However, in the 21st century, Sanctuary is simply a rest stop for truck drivers and those on road trips. The once bustling mining town now holds roughly only 1,500 people and has been on the brink of becoming a "ghost town" for a few hundred years. When the gold ran dry the town shifted their income to mainly farming export and sparse tourism for the historic mining town. Although Sanctuary has been on its death bed for some time, the tightly knit community loves the town for what it is and many have chosen to live there for the quiet, simple life style that it offers.

Life had been simple, at least, until one year ago. Home developers and retail chains set their eye on this little hidden gem in the mountains, seeing it as the perfect place to expand business due to the traffic that passes through on the way to larger cities. With new businesses beginning to become established, brand new people have been moving to the town and new homes are already being built.

Although Sanctuary appears quaint on the outside, it has many hidden secrets when you take time to look closer. The majority of the older generation of Sanctuary is strongly conservative and religious, which can sometimes cause problems for the younger people. Alcoholism and drug use has plagued many of community members for as long as anyone can remember. Ex-criminals have also found their way here in the past, attempting to escape their past lives. The list could go on, but the new people moving in will undoubtedly find the darker side to Sanctuary in due time.

Many families who have lived in Sanctuary for decades do not appreciate the new growth and prefer their small town where everyone knows each other. Some, though few, do appreciate their rapidly changing life - especially the younger generation, who seem to welcome seeing a new face every once in awhile.

Feel free to rearrange this information however you like, just make sure it's all there. When accepted, please put your C.S. in a hider.




This can be continually added to as we come up with new ideas throughout the RP. If you wish to be the owner of one of these places, please feel free to create your own lore - I'll be happy to add it below!

I'm working on setting up the official RP. I'll have it ready soon! :)
@udonoodles@OddApproved@davefromdiscord

Thank you everyone! I think we have a decent amount of interest now, including the others who have directly messaged me. I'll start working on setting up the official RP now! :)
@OddApproved If you want, he can be the head chef at the tavern. He'll work for my character. I haven't fully created her yet but she'll have lived there all her life and inherited the place. Since he grew up there, they could also have a history of knowing each other. I think that'd be fun at least haha

For reference, my character will likely be 25-27, I haven't fully decided yet haha
@OddApproved Haha! I love that idea!

Here are a few things I have planned that I told another interested person earlier, if it helps with anyone's inspiration:

"Fox Hole Tavern" - a historic tavern that has been preserved and is still in use. My character will be the owner/operator. There can be others who work there though. It's going to be pretty big and one of the main attractions of town. It has a bar, rooms to stay in, and I'm thinking a stage of some sort for shows.

Dive Bar - I haven't named this yet but another interested person may want to have their character run this place. We haven't finalized anything yet. They may also create another type of Diner instead.

"Cozy Bear Diner" - just a small little family run Diner. @OddApproved Maybe your character could fit here? We obviously don't have to stick with the name if you don't like it. I just have a picture that shows that name lol!

"Canyon Crest Academy" - this will be a K-12 school since the town is so small. Pretty old and run down, and understaffed.

I'll update my post with pictures of these places soon so everyone can get a feel for it. :)
Hi Everyone! I'm just putting some feelers out for this. It'll be a largely player driven plot - you'll create characters that will become part of the community. I have ideas for different types of shops/schools/etc that will be in the town.

I can expand further on this later, but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in this slice of life first. :)
