This RP is meant to explore different types of narrative and settings, as well as give the players a chance to tap into various characters/themes they might not normally play. As such, players are highly encouraged to play with the themes and settings, just so long the rest of us can easily mesh. LOLwut posts will be set on fire.
The plot is simple: Five children ages 10-12 have been playing together since they were very small and have since formed a close knit group. For years, they've been forming a pretend world, inhabited by the various creatures and characters they've created. Each child has imagined an avatar of themselves that lives in this fantasy world. As the children grow, they find the world around them is changing, as well as themselves and their friendship. As things in the real world change, strange things begin to happen to their avatars and the fantasy world they inhabit. Soon, fantasy and reality begin to blend together . . .
Setting: The RP will have two settings; the 'real world' where the children live their day to day lives, and the fantasy world they've created for their avatars.
In the real world, you will play your character's interactions with 'the outside world' and all that entails. There will be some NPCs running around, but feel free to make your own. The RP will take place in present day Portland, Oregon.
The fantasy world can be played at any time, whether the children are interacting together in the real world or not. This world has taken on a life of its own since it has been alive in the minds of the children for so long. Things that effect the children in the real world will sometimes show up in the fantasy and vice versa.
Genre: Coming of age, fantasy, horror, comedy, drama
RP Policy:
Players are expected to post at least once a week. While this RP does not have to run fast, I want to insure that it will stay active. If you cannot meet this requirement, just let me know so we can figure out what to do with your characters. If someone stops posting, they'll get a PM from me asking them to either post, or let me hijack their character in order to keep the plot moving. If I don't receive a reply within a few days, I hijack your character and take your stuff.
Hijacking: Is only allowed if the hijackee* has given their permission, first. I promise to be a good dictator and only use it on inactive players.
Characters: Each player will needs to create one child to make up the main group, and their avatar. If you wish to play a third (or fourth) character, that is fine and dandy.
Content: As far as content and other things goes, I say just to use your best judgement and mark any posts you think might be particularly heavy. Just try not to make it too Flowers in the Attic, guys.
Current Players:
Tegan
Diana
Tain
Ampoule
