red Not all characters will be accepted here. For the sake of other roleplayers and myself, I'd like this roleplay to be of quality. Most will be accepted but if your character sheet is one without thought, I won't hesitate to deny it. I'll give your CS a 'Like' and will send you a link to the Discord group chat if you are accepted.

Also, I know many roleplayers are more comfortable with roleplaying as female characters but having a plethora of female characters who are straight won't do very well for drama.

BREAKING - Haven Peak's Asher Lenford who was reported missing is now treated as a possible homocide victim.

Haven Peak Police Department (HPPD) has recently open up the possibility of the missing teen as a homicide rather than a run away. On the tenth of June, Haven Peak Church pastor, Derrick Lenford reported his son missing after the teen had failed to show up at a family event that was held in the morning.

"Our boy would never run away. It's not like him at all." Joanne Lenford, mother of Asher Lenford commented when she was asked whether the possibility of him taking shelter at a relative's place was possible.

Asher Lenford was known as Haven Peak High's very own Golden Boy as he was described as the 'unequivocal perfect friend and student' by Principal Frederick Rochester. Asher was a quarterback in Haven Peak's football team and a fellow performer as well as the president of the school's famous theatrical club, Poems & Poison.

If there is information regarding the missing Asher Lenford or his whereabouts, do contact Haven Peak Police Department (HPPD) at xx-xxxxxxxxx.




  • Student of Haven Peak,

    As the principal, I would like to ask each one of you to cooperate whole-heartedly with the Haven Peak Police Department (HPPD) who will be at Haven Peak High School to enquire more about the disappearance of our very own Asher Lenford. Please do not be alarmed as we are merely following through procedures and protocols that are being conducted by them so that we might be able to find Asher as quickly as possible. By no means are we suspecting any of our students to be a part of this matter but we must work together as the family we are, at Haven Peak to ensure our very own might be able to return back to us safely.

    As a further note, Pastor Lenford and his wife, Mrs Lenford would like to extend a hand of gratitude alongside Ashley Lenford, our very own Secretary of Poems & Poison and Asher's twin sister, for being a source of comfort that they can count on in this very difficult time of theirs. Though it might be difficult for many of you, the Lenfords have agreed that the Annual Mid-Term Ball shall continue as Asher would have wanted it to be.

    Have a good day and thank you for your attention.

    Haven Peak High School Principal,
    Frederick Rochester.

  • Haven Angel: 《name》 Haven Peak High Hchool's very own cheerleading squad. Headed by Ashley Lenford, being a Haven Angel includes many benefits that might can determine the type of student and/or citizen you are. Though, being one isn't a piece of cake. Being a Haven Angel means preparing the batter for the cake, baking it, icing it and placing the right amount of cherries on top.

    Thunder Dogs: 《name》 Haven Peak High School's very own football team. Headed by Asher Lenford (whereabouts and conditions unknown as of the moment), almost every male student wishes to wear the signature red and yellow jock sweater down the hallways of Haven Peak High School.

    P2P: 《name》 an acronym for Haven Peak High School's very own Poems & Poison club.

    FC: 《name》 an acronym for Haven Peak High School's very own the Fight Club.

    Rainbow Crunch: 《name》 a drug that is used as an antidepressant. It was circulated very popularly among students at Haven Peak by Southsiders until Mayor Helena Rodriguez enforced background checks on all Southside students. It is rather difficult to find it in circulation as of now but there are still dealers around if you know the right people.

    Registrae: 《name》 Haven Peak's very own (sole) newspaper company.

  • 1. What to Asher Lenford and who is he??
    If you'd like a character comparison, He is Jason Blossom in Riverdale. And as of the start of the roleplay, Asher Lenford was reported missing a week or two ago but his case has may soon be turned into a homicide one. His body is not found yet and everyone has no idea whether he is really just missing or dead. But considering how they have yet to hear a thing from and/or about him, they might assume he's dead.

    2. Who could have killed Asher Lenford??
    In the beginning, when everyone is filling up their CS, there is a part that speaks of possible reason their OC would kill Asher and how they would do it. These won't be posted up with the CS but will be sent to me. After that, I will choose who the killer is and throughout the roleplay, the characters (and the roleplayers) would have to figure out who the killer is.

    3. Can I control any of the NPCs??
    Definitely. Just make sure you don't do anything crazy to them like have them make your character the mayor suddenly.

    4. Can I make my character a child of one of the adult NPCs??
    Go ahead! Though, make sure you ask me first so that I'll be able to keep track of whose kid is whose.

    5. What about gangs? Are there Serpents?
    For this roleplay, unfortunately no. I didn't want to add an element of gangs as it would need the creation of more adult characters. As such, I integrated it into the clubs at Haven Peak High School- Poems & Poison and The Fight Club.

  • Pastor Derrick Lenford
    images


    Known to many as just 'the Pastor', Derrick Lenford is seen as a kind and rather caring individual. He volunteers in many programs that includes feeding the homeless and even helping alongside construction works at the Southside. Many might argue that his portrayal is simply one of a man of God but others, see it as a mask for who he truly is. There had been many rumours of how he abused his children but considering he lived in a small town like Haven Peak, rumours could just very well be rumours.

    His father had allowed him to inherit and become the pastor of Haven Peak Church of Salvation while Pastor Derrick's sister had chosen to settle down as a school teacher in Boston. Another notable feature of his is that he is a rather charismatic individual who gets along well with many individual, even members of minor gangs. Not known to his parishioners or the people of Haven Peak, he does have many wealthy and powerful individuals who follow through his teaching of the church and does receive a number of 'generous' donations to fund a side business of his which will be revealed in the rp.
    Joanne Lenford

    Many middle-aged women are rather jealous of Joanne Lenford as she was once named the 'Most Influential Woman' in Haven Peak's town event. Being the wife of such a man like Pastor Derrick Lenford, it is safe to assume many women desire to be like Joanne and many men desire to be the husband of such a woman.

    Joanne Lenford is also in the board of directors for the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) at Haven Peak High School. It is due to her continuous efforts in trying to make the school a better place that she, herself had been offered a position in the school's very own board of directors despite not being a teacher herself. Though with many successes, it sure did come with a number of enemies. And because of this, many questions her life before she moved to Haven Peak as she moved here before getting married to the Pastor.

    The Golden Boy, both at Haven Peak High School and out, he was a force to reckon with. Expected to take over the church from his father, it was a surprise when he revealed Pastor Derrick's decision on encouraging him to study medicine. He had planned to move to New York after receiving his graduation diploma to pursue his dream. Every girl in high school has dreamed at one point or another to date him and to a few lucky ones, he did.

    The football team, Poems & Poison, son of such a influential man. He had everything....or so it seemed. There had been many secrets Asher had kept to himself while some, he shared with his sister but no one could say they really knew him well.
    Ashley Lenford

    While Asher is known as the Golden Boy of Haven Peak High School, Ashley Lenford was known as the Sweetheart of said high school. A straight-A student with a CGPA of no less than 4.0, she takes the cake for not only the smartest student but the ace of them all as she is the head of the cheerleading team, Haven's Angels. To add onto that, her reputation becomes of her as she is known to be a person that is down to earth and exhibits leadership skills that are beyond expectations of a high school students.

    Though, because of her perfect reputation, many are not aware of the fact that she is merely following through with her parents' orders on being the perfect daughter at high school, especially since Asher has now turned their back on them and had run away. The darkest secret she'll ever keep is the fact that her father is willing to do anything to ensure his church remains his cover up for his business. Anything.

    The principal of Haven Peak High School and one of the only individuals so far, that is of good conscience. As the position he holds in the high school, he isn't easily persuaded and will fight for whatever he believes is right. However, he is a rather stoic and strict individual that many students fear him. He is a closeted homosexual who has the sexual desire level of a teaspoon.
    Helena Rodriguez
    tumblr_nlmk9xDCLN1ru14f7o4_1280.jpg

    The mayor of Haven Peak. She has been re-elected twice in a row as mayor because of her accomplishment in her first term of mayor- running background checks on students who wished to enroll in Haven Peak High School. Because of her actions, less students were being roped into any form of crime and the distribution of Rainbow Crunch (a drug that's usually used as an antidepressant) had deteriorated. However, the main reason she obtained many votes was due to the fact that less Southsiders had made their way into Haven Peak High School.

    Soon, the mayor elections will be held and she plans to get re-elected. However, her actions contain ulterior motives that might be detrimental to citizens of Haven Peak.
    Samuel Sung

    Haven Peak Police Department's very own sheriff. He was originally a police officer that was transferred in from the New York Department. He didn't have many outstanding achievements but he did have ambition. Because of his older age, he knew he didn't stand a chance to rise up the ranks as fast unless he were to take on more vigorous missions and cases. As such, he decided that moving to Haven Peak would give him the chance of at least being the head of his very own department and hopefully, let him solve a case that might be his breakthrough in his career.

    He is a rather devout Christian, however, he believes that his beliefs are different from that that is preached by Pastor Derrick. Though, Pastor Derrick is trying his best to 'recruit' him and make him join Haven Peak Church of Salvation.
  • Redplum Hill
    Known to many as a small town and sometimes even described as a getaway with suited budget to have, Haven Peak is nestled at the edge of Greenville. Its population mediating within ten thousand and has not reached over it even since 2002. Though it might be considered one of the seven wonders of the world, Haven Peak is known for being a National Treasure due to its abundance of luscious greenery and wildlife. Standing at the very centre of Haven Peak is Redplum Hill, named after the founder of Haven Peak. Many travel from afar just to get a glimpse of its signature 'red'-coloured sand.

    [bg=#FF0000]Though not many locals of Haven Peak might admit it, a lot of unsolicited businesses and crimes takes places at Redplum Hill. Just at the foot of the hill is a large forest of sorts. Because of its dense plantation of trees, it gets very misty at night. Some people might head over there for a little midnight rendezvous or even a little exchange of 'goods' but outsiders wouldn't put it past them that getting rid of someone nicely could be done here.[/bg]
    Haven Peak Church of Salvation
    Another sanctuary that can be found in Haven Peak is the Haven Peak Church of Salvation (HPCS) that is run by Pastor Derrick Lenford and his wife, Joanne Lenford. It is said that the church is nearly as old as this founded town. Apparently, Rodrick Redplum's sister, Betsy Lenford and her husband started out the church two decades after Haven Peak was officially founded. Ever since then, the church has been managed by generations after generations of Lenfords. Because of its prominent historical value to Haven Peak, Haven Peak Church of Salvation is considered a must-visit on any wandering tourist's list!

    [bg=#FF0000]It's rather odd, to be honest. Why would a church need to undergo so many renovations within a year? The town of Haven Peak isn't growing by staggering numbers that the church needs to expand its amenities to the locals. Maybe not all that meets the eye is what should be seen by the eye. The pastor is surprisingly a rather powerful individual in Haven Peak. He has some part of a say in construction works, politics and etc. He even has connections with very powerful gang members unknown to Haven Peak's locals. Is it really just him working the wonders of God?[/bg]
    Haven Peak High School
    However, if anyone is planning on settling down in Haven Peak, they should consider their children well taken care of at Haven Peak High School. Prioritising extra curricular activities and the growth of their students outside the classroom is one of the mission's of the school as they note the importance of having a well-rounded individual contribute to Haven Peak. Many of Haven Peak High School's previous star students are now holding high positions in Haven Peak and is making a difference. An example is our very own Mayor Helen Rodriguez.

    [bg=#FF0000]In HPHS, instead of having the popular ones against those who aren't, the rivalry and battles stand between those in Poems & Poison and the Fight Club. These two clubs may seem like ordinary school clubs that enjoy elements of theatre and performing art while the other, martial arts and anything defence skills but there's definitely more to it. It is an unspoken treaty of sorts to the students to HPHS to speak of the clubs in their true form. Those is Poems & Poison were the alphas of the Haven Peak High School. Everybody wanted to be them and everybody bowed down to them while the Fight Club hosted those that were of an almost opposite species. Lowlife, street fighters and anything associated with the word 'trash'. Everyone in HPHS was a part of either groups. If they weren't, they never existed in HPHS.[/bg]
    Pop's Diner
    A haven at Haven Peak, for sure. Pop's DIner has been around for over four decade as the owner, Pop himself worked hard as a young man with a dream of owning a diner and serving up delicious food and smiles to hungry and wary customers. When other malls, the students of Haven Peak High School had Pop's to go to. If one were to really look, they'd note that Pop's is also a historical landmark of Haven Peak. New-formed relationships, breakups, success stories and many more were discussed and founded in Pop's. Though it doesn't serve up gourmet food and meals that savours your palate, it sure does provide for a wholesome meal that will surround you with equally wholesome people.

    [bg=#FF0000]Pop's Diner sits on a land in which its property value increases by the year. The reason it is so is due to the fact that before there was Pop's, there was Clementine's stream. Just like in the folklore, a miner's daughter fell into the stream and drown. Her name was not Clementine but she was so beautiful that she was nicknamed 'Clementine'. The miner was a hard worker in the next town's gold mines. According to Haven Peak's lost tales, he saved a piece of gold each day from the mines for the past forty years of his life. Though the story was focused on Clementine, only few know that her story was the cover-up for the miner's lost gold that is yet to be found.[/bg]
    Haven Peak Police Department
    'The safety of People by the People!'

    Haven Peak Police Department is the safest property on Haven Peak. That is, if a major epidemic of misfortunes attacked every local's house in Haven Peak. On a regular basis, there is no real need for the police said for maybe a bar fight or parking violations due to the mannered people of Haven Peak. Though, on occasion, most major crimes committed at Haven Peak is because of the misunderstood nature of the town. Many assume Haven Peak police are less capable of doing their jobs because of the lack of crimes, resulting in individuals from outside of town committing the crimes in the town area. However, there had not been a crime left unsolved by the HPPD!

    [bg=#FF0000]Sometimes, staying safe and alive isn't bounded by doing what is right. Though the police at Haven Peak do their best in ensuring that all crimes are justly paid by wrongdoers, there are times were missing police reports or misplaced log sheets and criminal records do occur. Those within the walls of the Haven Peak Police Department might say it is due to their lack of resourcefulness but others might say it was because of certain outsiders.[/bg]
    The Southside
    Less developed but equally loved, the Southside of Haven Peak showcases for the richness of culture rather than the advancement of society. Though not recommended to visit due to the unstable land it was built on, certain families have taken shelter at the Southside due to its more tranquil setting compared to the hustle and bustle of a town that acquites to businesses and legality.

    [bg=#FF0000]The Southside had always been mistaken as the 'dumpster' to the 'trash' at Haven Peak. More gangs have been founded due to the isolation of the people at Haven Peak. Scattered with trailers, single-story terrace houses at the best and run-down buildings of sorts, the Southside has always been off-limits to those visiting from outside Haven Peak. The excuse of 'unstable ground' had been used for many decades and yet, people still believed the lie. Since the Southside isn't taken care as well as Haven Peak, parents who wished to enroll their children in education had to do so at Haven Peak. There isn't objection from the people of Haven Peak but rumour has it that background check on said students are done two weeks before being accepted into Haven Peak High School.[/bg]
    Busted Drive-In
    A trip down memory lane is a mere drive to the Busted Drive-in! With a movie screening every Friday night at 7:30pm, be sure to come with an empty stomach as the Busted Drive-in's infamous peanut butter popcorn is a favourite of the Haven Peak locals. There was even a time whereby a riot broke out after having the delicious treat sold out within half an hour of a movie screening! Be sure to bring that lucky girl/ guy you're looking out for! They say miracles happen so often but at the Busted Drive-In, a miracle or two is sure to happen your way soon.

    [bg=#FF0000]The only safe haven for Southsiders in Haven Peak to mingle in. As the name suggests, the Busted Drive-in resembles almost a busted-like atmosphere for a movie screening. Many of the equipments used there have either been stolen at least once or damaged several times. Though, miraculously, the drive-in has remained even until now. However, it is speculated that the Busted Drive-In will get a new makeover soon. Whether it'll be renovated or torn down, nobody can confirm but knowing those in power at Haven Peak, it was probably the latter.[/bg]
  • 1. All Iwaku rules apply.

    2. No Godmodding at all. It's understandable if you'd like to move someone else's character by a minute action but please don't control a character that is not yours unless it is an NPC.

    3. No Gary Sues or Mary Sues. In a roleplay, character development is vital. If you plan on just having your character kill some people and be done with, please don't enter the roleplay.

    4. If there occurs any fights or arguments in the OOC, please take it out of the group and discuss it on your own. Don't bring it into the group.

    5. I encourage creating your own NPCs as it'll be more fun and adds substance to the roleplay.

    6. If you've read the rules so far, place the word 'Cotton Candy' somewhere in your CS.

    7. Each roleplayer is entitled to two characters at the maximum.

    8. I understand that Riverdale is a 16+ show as there are mature themes in it. You may include such themes in your CS but make sure it is restricted to a certain point as this roleplay includes minors too.

    9. No one-liners at all. The posting requirement is at least two paragraphs. Unless you really have nothing to write which includes your character not even knowing what to think, then you may proceed to at least a paragraph.

    10. Real Life > Roleplay. I understand this and I beg everyone to understand it too but you are showing interest in the roleplay, which means you are responsible for it too. I'd like it if everyone can post at least twice a week.

    11. If you'd like to quit the roleplay or go on a hiatus for awhile, please do so. But let me know so that everyone else doesn't wait on you.

    12. I understand I've encouraged creation of NPCs and second characters. However, do note that having the characters you created constantly interacting with each in the roleplay is a big no-no. The point of a roleplay is to interact with characters created by other roleplayers for character development, plot movement and etc., if you plan on only having your own characters interact with each other, I will not be one to stand for it.

    13. If you break any of the rules, I'll issue a warning to you. After three warnings, you'll automatically be kicked out.

Hey guys! I'd like to get started on my sheets, but I'm also the sort who like to bring diversity to the roaster (an entire class of A+ aces or moody loners isn't very exciting). Even just a few basic details about your character(s) would be great!
well i have a guy who is the mysterious brooding type that always gets into fights -- probably because he enjoys picking them -- and loves cars. and then there's his little sister who is the blunt, energetic chic with kleptomania and the urge to constantly use her fists even tho she's a smol bean.
 
Oh yeah, to everyone,

I added an extra tab above, Important Terms so that there's a bit more explaination.

And yes, your character can be in the football team or cheerleading squad if you wish them to be!

Gonna go for a model student kind of character--polite, studious, conservative. He may not be the top student but his grades are certainly up there. An adopted child whom his foster parents are very proud of. He's highly judgmental tho and generally frowns upon those from the Southside community. Might make a second character who's more of a loner type, but we'll see :'D
 
Loving all the characters already.

my precious bean paos
 
To everyone,

I added Asher's CS in the signup thread's tab. This might be able to help you guys figure out your character's relationship with his.

Also, feel free to discuss relationships with me/ anyone else on that note.
 
Hey just wanted to let yall know that my first char (Liza) is finished (Going to send the reason why she might do it soon min, just making sure I get all the details right!) and that I had my second char almost done but i scraped him and am making a whole new one, which should be finished in a day or two! also very much into making relationships if anyone if up for it with both of mine! here is a bit of a description for my second character Cole:

A very matured yet not really, Cole is a weird guy when you meet him, maybe sending a sassy comment or two, but when you get to know him he's a big jellybean, loves to write and direct short films, and his main priority is his little bro, he's had a tough life but has real compassionate side.

EDIT: i will also be making an NPC for his little brother, Brett
 
Against all odds, I was able to post my characters today.
 
Also, everyone,

One week left until I close signups!
 
Is there any room left for this? Would love to join.~
