This roleplay, while it is called Home, Alaska, doesn't not take place in the town Home. This is very much a sit-and-wait roleplay. Information will be relieved to those who participate and wait. There will be twists and turns, and plans will change in the middle of production. If you will not be committed to this roleplay, your part will be recycled and distributed to others.
This roleplay will continue for a long time. The continuing threat in this roleplay is struggle, and the roleplay will continue until the struggle is fixed. This isn't necessarily fast paced, nor is it slow. Please, I implore you, do not join this roleplay if you don't believe you will stick with it in the long-run. I need people who are enthusiastic about writing, and I need them to be organized and very skilled in their craft.
I understand that if bad things can happen, bad things will happen. I would appreciate a PM about a few days prior to your absence, but I understand emergencies. I will have a no tolerance policy, so if you do not PM me and you are absent for more than a few days and/or you are holding up the role play with your disappearance, I will re-open the acceptance slots to other players.
I will be setting up another forum for questions and answers, along with out of original character talk and what-not. This will be used only for the character profiles. I will limit each player to two characters, but if you can convince me that you can and what to handle more, you may take up more. Any form of twins count as one character, and same goes for other family members.
As far as characters go, I hope and pray that there won't be any carbon copies that have been around like before. I expect something different-- disabilities, phobias, mental illnesses, people of color, lgbtqia youth and elders alike. This roleplay will accept people from any age. 2-79, 1-89. If they can walk and have dialogue, I want them. I don't want tormented childhoods, not at all. I don't want 'my dad, mom and sister died in a car crash and i dont have friends', I want something I can feel. Trans youth, black youth, goth, punk! If you have it, I want it. Make your characters justified.
For those who are wondering why the introduction to this RP may be a bit vague, here is the answer: it is vague. All will be relieved in due time.
There will be dice concepts in this roleplay, and there will be different outcomes for all the players involved. This is very much a developing idea, and will continue to develop as time goes on. I would greatly appreciate help if you have any ideas that you would like to apply forward, or any recommendations. If you would like to be a GM-- this is directed towards people I know and have roleplayed with before-- please talk to me and help me cycle through some ideas. If you have read this much, adorn your character profile with the words, "Welcome Home" anywhere in, on or around your character sheet.
[warning=white]Death in this roleplay is possible. A PM will go out with information concerning this topic. If you do not wish to die, talk to me in advanced.
You have been warned. [/warning]

"An impossibly long, single-lane tunnel is your only way into this very mysterious community, and your only way out. Make it to the other end of those dimly lit miles, and you'll find all the ingredients for a town. Except instead of a sprawling, urban center, this town has been scaled to fit almost entirely into one lonely Alaskan tower."
Welcome Home.
"The two-and-a-half mile-long tunnel leading into this community is never crowded—it physically can't be. At about 10 feet wide, it can only accommodate traffic flowing in one direction at a time. What it empties out into is a smattering of buildings, few of which still serve their original purpose and the rest of which are a little more than empty husks.
The two largest of those buildings are the Homewick Building and the Bluff Landing Towers. Both were constructed in the wake of an impending war, along with the railroad leading in. A combined fortune was spent to build a militant home base at the very farthest frontier. Homewick was abandoned just years after its completion; the military realized quickly that the poorly crafted building, made in haste, would only stand for a while before it would collapse on itself. Today, it exists as little more than a ruin, but surprisingly, hasn't fallen into itself yet. It leads residents to wonder exactly why it was abandoned., but we assure you that it was for natural and legitimate reasons.
You, along with the rest of the community and your neighbors, currently live in the Bluff Landing Towers. The towers are nearer the rest of the ommunity-- the ones that don't live in the towers. The other buildings that aren't Homerwick or Bluff Landings are simply a community bar, the boat storage station and the local foodstore. Other than those three small buildings, the entirety of the town is located inside of The Bluff.
The police station, the laundromat, the convenience store and even the post office are all located inside, and while they are located on different levels, they all belong in the tower. And with that, the community belongs there, too. Some live above, below or between these important sector. Town Hall even has it's own level!
This homely town is based in Alaskan Frontier. While Alaska is the largest US state, it's also the coldest, the least densely populated, and the least connected. Out of all it's many towns, atleast 70% are not accessible by road. But none the less, humans have a variety of what and where they call home. This is a prime example of the inhabitable being carved into our home. That kind of fascination leads people to Alaska, and towards that small community. This small town, whose fewer than 200 residents live almost exclusively in the same building, is self efficient and as accessible and as inaccessible as it wants to be.
This really is the most community-centered place you will ever live in, but at the same time, because you're so close to everyone, you may feel a bit claustrophobic. Other times you feel enormously grateful that they're there. And still, other times, even when you're surrounded by all your neighbors, you can feel completely and utterly isolated.
Locals are often lead to believe that their lovely little town is hiding some hefty secrets, but we assure you that there is nothing to be suspicious of. This town-- your home-- has no secrets that haven't already been reviled to you. The urban tales you may hear in this tightly knit community are just that; tales. Urban legends. We repeat once again, that there is nothing to be afraid of in this little community.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and enjoy your stay. This message has been sent to you by your local City Hall."

The number of asterisks define how important the character's occupation is. There are four level 3 ranked occupations, three level 2 ranked occupations, and four level 1 ranked occupations. If you plan on having more than two characters, please limit level three characters to one, and pick a lower level second. If you only plan on using one character, you may combine occupations to fit said character, after it has been rushed past myself. To eliminate crowding and over population in this roleplay, I will only allow a few select people to have one character. I will be PMing folk about characters and their importance in this roleplay. Keep in mind, things may change due to how you write your own character, and you may put forth the ideas you have for them, aswell, but preferably only through PM.
The secret player-- Heavenly Poltergeist is a role that will be assigned to someone in secret. If you would wish to be this role, please DO NOT post your profile in this thread. Please only PM me your profile if you wish you fulfill this section. If you are accepted, I will NOT put you on the list, but I will keep in contact with you. If you need to PM me with your profile, please title it 'HOME, ALASKA - HP'. I would like you to read through the RP, and I will be sure to tell you when you will be included. {/slide}

Example of a Reply: Here, you write and/or copy an example of your role playing.
Example of Schedule: Here, you can tell me a little bit about your posting style, and what I should expect.
The character skeleton is very flexible. If you character doesn't have a mental illness, or a phobia, or you wanted to add something, you may. The jist is needed, and it is a must. Keep in mind, a 13 year old wouldn't live by themselves. If your character has parents, you have the choice to give them an occupation or not. If your two characters are married and/or living together, they may have two different occupations and have a child who does not have one, or one has an occupation and the other parent does not.
It would be wise to put horizon lines on your character profiles, as I did mine. if your character occupation has one line, you put one horizon line on said profile. The code for the lines is simply:
[ hr ][ /hr ], but minus the spaces. If you had two, it would be:
[ hr ][ hr ][ /hr ][ /hr ] and so forth. If there are complications with the profiles, I will be sure to assist you. {/slide}
{slide=Apartment Information|center}While your character is living in an apartment complex, you won't be able to pick your apartment rooms or numbers. Depending on the character occupation you select, that is what you will get. I will send a PM with all of the information to those who get accepted into this RP. {/slide}
{slide=Acceptance Information|center} I will leave this thread open to the public for a good period of time, and I won't close it off until I have a good number of applications. In this time period, others may pick occupations that others have. Infact, you may pick an occupation that I already have for my character. There may be about 20 applications by the time I go to accepting them, and only about 1/3 may get into this RP. If this is not clear, please PM me so I may explain it further.
If for some reason, you are not accepted but you would still like to be in this RP, I will look into it and see what I can do. I will allow a few people in, but it may take a few pulls in order to properly get everything in order. {/slide}
