ARSEIDIS: GHOST TOWN
AUGUST 11TH @ 12PM Noon Central Time
Founded on the edge of a forest in northwest Wyoming by two business men hoping to establish trade and mining in the area, Arseidis was meant to be a bustling new community. Instead, within ten years it became overran with the worst of the worst in villainy and vagrants. Then one day in the late 1880s, without warning or explanation, everyone in town was gone. Of course locals assumed that the violence and lack of work eventually drove people out of the town, but urban legends of hellmouths and curses flourished. Eventually the town faded from people's minds, the properties sold, the area forgotten.
Come to present date, the property has been inherited by a last living relative and by chance the abandoned town was discovered. With Arseidis' rich history (and an offer of a great deal of money), the owner has allowed a nearby University sole access to the property for study and investigation. A hodgepodge of people with different interests have arrived to uncover the secrets of Arseidis.

EVENT INFO
WHO: Everyone is invited! Character Bios/Pics are not required, but totally encouraged! Post 'em if you got 'em.
WHAT: You are someone part of the team here to discover Arseidis' history and secrets. You can be a student or faculty of the University there because you have an interest of some sort, or you can be someone that was hired to help this "expedition". There is no proven supernatural existence that you are aware of. So, yes you must play a human and no you can not have magic or powers! Outside of that, you're welcome to get creative with characters, but make sure they fit the setting. Don't show up as a ninja or British spy.
WHEN: AUGUST 11TH - TUESDAY @ 12PM NOON CENTRAL TIME. Ending @ 3PM.
WHERE: Join us in the ARSEIDIS chat room. You'll find the link to our chats in the CHAT tab when it's time to play.
HOW: This is a ACTION SETTING WITH IMPROVISATIONAL GAME MASTERING. That means the object of this roleplay is to interact with other characters, and from those interactions I will create a plot and story around you. There will be action moments, where strange events will happen and your characters will have to work together to resolve it. With this ChaRP "lol random" behaviors are discouraged -- what your character says and does will have in game consequences, so choose wisely!
My roleplays are always NEWBIE FRIENDLY so even if you are terrible at roleplay or have never participated in a ChaRP before, this will be easy for you to get involved in. :D Ask questions, let me know when you need help. I often give tips and direction out of character in the main chat room when people need a little direction.
EASY CHARP TIPS!
Try to show up a good 10 to 15 minutes before the ChaRP is to begin. That way you can read up on any important info, and it makes it easier for your GM to know how to start off the ChaRP when there's a head count.
Don't worry if another player is doing something similar to your idea. DO IT ANYWAY! Similarities and things in common happen in real life too. Everyone also plays differently, so two characters who are both "sweet and shy" will still end up being totally unique people. Two assassins could create a fun and interesting conflict!
Talking to other players about their character before the roleplay is a GREAT way to create connections and background for your own!
Post SHORT AND FAST. Charps are very quick pace and contain a LOT of players. Players can't wait 20 minutes for you to write a wall of text, and if there's too much text they won't be able to read it fast enough and will MISS details. If it takes you longer than two minutes to type your post, you are taking too long and might get lost in the action. This is an exercise in quick and concise writing!
Make sure your character name is mentioned in every post, close to the start of it if possible. This is especially helpful when there's many players, so we know who is playing what character.
Like in Real Life, a character may not be able to acknowledge or notice your character immediately because they are engaged in doing something else. (For example a new character walking in to the room, but the other characters arguing about muffins and do not see them.) Don't get discouraged if you go can't get someone to interact with you right away. Just keep posting and doing actions with your character, or even approach others who also seem to be idle and it WILL happen.
Do not take events in the roleplay personally or assume that bad reactions are because they think you/your character sucks. Everyone is playing a character and reacting to things as their character would!
