Okay guys, so this is probably one of my more thought out roleplay ideas, but I just got settled in a new place and got my gaming systems hooked back up, and Harvest Moon has always been an old favorite of mine. Before the admins or mods scream at me, I AM SORRY! I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO CLASSIFY THIS ROLEPLAY! IT FIT INTO A LOT OF CATAGORIES! So I'm sorry ahead of time if I wind up making you move a bunch of threads. ;_; The other threads I made for this plot will be listed at the bottom, so if you clicked on my banner and got redirected to my general one on one request thread hoping for one of the other threads, they're down there! This is just my group request thread about it! The one that I happen to be playing and basing this idea off of is Harvest Moon Animal Parade for the Wii. So THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD, if you're playing this game or plan to play it, you might want to stop here, unless you don't give a flying rat's rear, then you may continue!
What I had in mind for this rp was something along the lines of the story's plot actually. My character is going to be the character that you play as in this game (which you name so I cannot give you a specific character name from the game) but she will be new in town, and she is a new rancher/farm owner. So basically she's an OC. Your character can be canon, an OC that replaces a canon, or an inserted OC. I don't much care which. If you want your character to be a canon, or replace a canon, I have them listed on this thread as well as some other information posted at the bottom. I am looking more for the slice of life aspect behind the game rather than the adventury part, but it plays a big role in the setting, and if we can come up with good enough ideas, I wouldn't be against adventure, but I am looking for romance and day to day life in this rp primarily. The basic idea behind the plot of this game is that my character is new in town, the land is bad and nature is falling out of order because the tree that the Harvest Goddess guards is dying. To restore it, my character (who in the game is the only one who can see the sprites) has to gather five bells and ring them to restore power to the tree. Each bell has a sprite guarding it. I am willing to bend the sprite rule. I am also willing to bend the rule that only my character can ring bells.
SIDE NOTE: I HAVE NEVER HOSTED OR RPED IN A GROUP RP BEFORE! PLEASE HELP ME OUT! Be gentle ;_;

Canon Characters (Playable or up for replacement)
You can also have an OC! These are just here in case you want to replace them with your own character or play a canon! I tried to find pretty pictures, but if I didn't I apologize. I also didn't list personality traits in case you want put down where they can be found an family information if it was there. Everything is subject to change dependent on what the person who claims said character says!
Bachelorettes
This lovely lady helps her parents Ruth and Craig over at Marimba Farm. After she returns from a trip of the game, you can find her inside the farm shop most of the time.
All dressed in blue, Candace is a girl who works with her sister Luna and grandma Shelly at Sonata Tailoring. Most of her time is spent inside the shop. On Sundays when she is not working, you can find her in and around the Chelsta Church
The Goddess watches over the divine tree at the Goddess Pond, but now the tree has wilted and she is in need of help to revive it. She can always be found at the Goddess Spring.
Kathy helps her father, Hayden, with his Brass Bar in Harmonica Town. She waits tables and brings the customers the drinks they order. She can usually be found in or around the bar.
Luna is Candace's little sister, and she is the youngest of the bachelorettes. She can be found near her sister or her grandmother Shelly around Sonata Tailoring.
Maya helps her parents, Jake and Colleen, run the Orcaria Inn in Harmonica Town. Her grandma Yolanda has been tutoring her in the culinary arts. She can be found inside the kitchen of the inn or outside of the inn.
The daughter of Barbara and Simon, this inventor likes to spend time looking around the Garmon Upper Mine or in her room working on different projects. She can be found at home, or near the mine.
Renee likes to work at her parent's Horn Ranch, where she takes care of the various animals they have. On her days off she's often found near the river.
Once you gain access to Pascal's boat, you can take it to Toucan Island where you'll meet Selena. She'll stow away on the boat when you return to the mainland and gets a job at Hayden's bar, where she becomes a dancer like she's always dreamed of. She is often found outside the bar.
The magic caster lives in the very depths of Fugue Forest. She rarely comes out. Not much is known about her other than a spell she gained from the wizard went awry and it temporarily turned her into a frog.
Bachelors
Calvin is an archaeologist and he lives at the Oricana Inn. In the mornings you may see him outside the inn playing his guitar, and in the afternoons he goes to the mines.
(Pictured left) Chase lives in the house next to Marimba Farm in Flute Fields. During the day he spends his time at home, but at night he goes to work at Hayden's Brass Bar.
(Pictured right) This saucy-looking fellow is the son of Mayor Hamilton. He left the town to try and find a way to solve the island's problem. After failing in his mission he returns. He spends most of his time at the mayor's house.
The goal of the game is to chime the 5 bells in order to summon the mighty Harvest King. He has the power to fix the land's problems. He can be found at the top of Garmon Mines at the mountain top.
The town doctor works at Choral Clinic with his assistant Irene. He was stuck on Toucan Island until the boat was running again. He spends nearly all his time in his office and when he's not there, he's out looking for remedies.
This high-fashion man works at The Accessory Shop with Mira. He makes the jewelry there where Mira refines the material mined. He can be found in the shop or at his home.
Luke works at Dale's Carpentry Shop in Garmon Mine District. Of the mornings, he can be found in Fugue Forest searching for lumber, but his evenings he usually spends around Garmon Mine District.
Owen works at Ramsey's Blacksmith Shop. He acts like a big brother to his cousin Chloe. Owen is quite muscular and can be found lifting dumbells in his bedroom when he's not working at the shop.
Toby takes a very casual outlook at life, and spends most of his time fishing around the docks. He lives at the Harmonica Fishery with Ozzie and Paolo, and can be found fishing off the dock in the afternoons.
The Wizard lives in Harmonica Town, where he researches magic spells and looks into the sky using his telescope. He doesn't say much and prefers to keep to himself. Wizard doesn't really leave his house so he's easy to find at all times and is fascinated with astronomy.

A FEW NOTABLE THINGS
- I AM willing to bend the game's rules
- I will post a character sheet and OOC chat if enough people are interested
- SITE RULES STILL APPLY! So for smut, please move to PM or fade to black
- THIS WILL BE MY FIRST EVER GROUP RP! DON'T LAUGH BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!
- ANYTHING is up for discussion on the plot
- I made it vague on purpose so that people can help me add to it
- I play female, you may play who you wish of what orientation you wish, but my character's orientation is straight.
- Romance is preferred, but not a requirement
- I DID NOT want this to remain as innocent as the game itself is, so feel free to add/remove ideas to the plot. No Drama/Conflict = Boring
- I apologize for this being all over the place, it's early and I am tired
- OCs are welcome!
- Canons are playable too
- If you want to play an OC that replaces a canon, I will allow it! First come first served.
- PLEASE HELP ME POLISH MY IDEA! ITS A VERY VERY ROUGH START!
- Cookies are good....
I have never done this before, so any information as to basic rules or common sense stuff or anything about group roleplaying is welcomed.
- How are you supposed to post? Is there a general order or if someone is going to be gone for awhile, do they have to play the catch up game?
- Is there anything I should know about going into my first group rp?
- Is there anything here I am doing wrong?
- What could I add here to help you guys out?
