  • Ana won a date with Manny (NPC). The date: TBD
  • Kitty won a date with Brad. The date: First, a shopping spree - on him! He loved to treat his ladies (or men!) to the finest items money can buy. Then, a long romantic hike in the mountains. After, a little dip in Lake Florence! To top off the night, fine dining with the best wine in all of Sanctuary - his treat!

Significant NPC List

The Mayor | Alfred Wilshire

Alfred Wilshire has been Mayor of Sanctuary for 15 years. Sanctuary does not impose any term limits on the mayoral role and so Alfred has consectutively won the popular vote for over a decade. Alfred won his last reelection by a landslide, however, he has begun to consider retiring after this four year term is over. He has one more year to decide to rerun or to find another person to put his vote behind for the town.

Alfred grew up in Sanctuary and has scarcely ever left it. He loves this town and the people through and through. His father was a farmer and his grandfather was a miner. He comes from a hard working family who were some of the original founders of Sanctuary. As such, he has very traditional beliefs and values. At times this makes it difficult for him to relate to the younger generation but Alfred does make an effort to speak with everyone and try to understand perspectives. By all accounts Alfred is a very friendly and positive man who tries his best to help the towns people, although some believe him to be losing his mind in old age due to his agreements with the new developments in town. In reality, Alfred understands that Sanctuary would soon die out without allowing new businesses and housing developments into the area.

Before Alfred became mayor he was previously a 10th grade history teacher, so he knew many of the townspeople very personally before he retired to focus on more political aspirations.

Alfred was married for 45 years, though sadly his wife, Nancy, passed 2 years ago in a hit and run accident. To this day no one knows who hit her and it is presumed to be a driver who was just passing through. Together Alfred and Nancy had one son who currently lives in Washington state.

~ Welcome to Sanctuary ~

I'll put up some NPC information about the mayor soon and let you guys know when it's up so you can know the type of guy you're working with haha

~ Welcome to Sanctuary ~

If we want some more stakes and "evil", we could add something like a local gang, a drug ring, a murderer, etc. If those are things we'd wanna engage with. But mainly this is a slice of life RP. Not focused on action-y stuff. Think something like Desperate Housewives maybe or The Fosters.

@Benzaiten

I'd definitely be open to any nefarious characters. The last slice of life RP I made had a missing character/murder mystery plot line to it which we could also do again if people want to.

~ Welcome to Sanctuary ~

The "lurking evil" is within each character and whatever you decide is going on with them. And if they clash with other characters, etc. The external conflict we have in the town is currently just the expansion and invasion of new people that are disrupting the small town life. And each players character will provide color to the town.

Obviously I am not talking about someone who grows to like spicy food... Character personalities need to have depth to them and this RP requires you to interact with other players and create interesting storylines between them.

~ Welcome to Sanctuary ~

Lol Sorry, I don't want to involve aliens as an antagonist for this. Although we can certainly have a character who believes they were abducted or something haha

This is more about character development/drama than fighting a lurking evil.

<Snipped quote by The Muse>

I can always make another character or two that are gray-walking or not so good that can stir things up.

@Zora

That'd be great if you're up to it! I might do the same. I'm in a couple other RPs though so I just want to make sure I can keep up before I make another character haha

~ Welcome to Sanctuary ~

@Steel Legion There could be if you want there to be. It's going to be very player driven so it all depends on what kind of characters you all come up with. I'm not afraid of dark storylines either. Just looking for interesting characters that are fun to write about/with! Haha

Small Town Slice of Life RP

Haha I remember that! I'd be glad to have you!

~ Welcome to Sanctuary ~

Just added my character into the tab in case anyone was here when it was just a "Reserved" post haha
