HAVEN FALLS
Follow the call of the waterfall :: A Small Town Slice-Of-Life Roleplay
© pasta
Haven Falls, North Dakota was a little town that known for... absolutely nothing. What was it founded for? Who really knows, because it's not like there's much going on around it. Some think the little town sprouted up to support the farmers in its vicinity, and that seems the most likely.
Despite being the type of town that wouldn't appear on most maps, it's still the most well-known town in its area. Plus, the beautiful Crystal Lake -- which Haven Falls found itself built on the shore of -- was always drawing people to its natural beauty.
Maybe this is why it was originally used to film outtakes of a few TV shows -- and maybe that's why the gentrification started.
As the rich started to pile onto the outskirts of town, it wasn't long before a prestigious, second school opened. The Silver Lake Academy soon earned its own right in the ever-growing town, although its hefty tuition managed to squeeze out the majority of Haven Falls' locals.
Time progressed, and soon, Silver Lake Academy was making a name for itself as a rather prestigious school for the arts -- I know, such a surprise in the middle of North Dakota.

Haven Falls is a slice of life roleplay primarily focused on high schoolers set in a small town. There are two schools that our cast will come from, the school that's been open since practically the town's inception Haven Falls High School, populated by the, for lack of a better word, more 'average' students and especially the poorer ones. Then there is the much newer, much more expensive and private Silver Lake Academy who's curriculum is focused on the arts. Two different schools, but lots of overlap between them both as one can expect in a small town such as this. Even with the new development crawling in.
The roleplay will be broken up into seasons with each season being composed of 10-12 skips each. The goal is a long-term roleplay that will allow for character and relationship development to grow and age along with our cast. Think of it like a TV show!

NO.1 Literacy. I ask for a minimum of 2-3 paragraphs that are at least 4-5 lines each. Obviously if you can't reach this every time, that's perfectly okay -- it happens, and we all have bad muse, or it's just the kind of interaction that does better with shorter, more rapid-fire responses. That's fine. However this should be the standard to aim for.
NO.2 Due to mature themes featured in the roleplay, we ask that all writers are at least 18 years old. Please read further for more details regarding the kinds of mature themes we allow within the roleplay.
NO.3 You will be expected to write at least one post per character every week during an active skip. Of course, real life comes before roleplay and if something comes up there will be flexibility granted within reason.
NO.4 Keep your OOC drama to a minimum. Or better yet, non-existent. If you're feeling uncomfortable or facing issues within the roleplay my DMs are always open, so feel free to message a mod with any concerns.
NO.5 Speaking of reaching out to mods, please run any significant plot points, subplots, or storylines that you might be considering past a mod for approval. This includes pregnancy, major character injury or hospitalization, or other potentially life/story altering incidents. There are other topics that fall under this threshold or are even off-limits, but for ease of reading I will just say if you are unsure in any capacity, it's better to DM a mod to be safe.
NO.6 More specific rules, especially regarding character creation will be available to read on our discord server!

Now is the perfect time to hop in as we get ready to kick off our Halloween Festival skip! This will be a great time for new characters and writers to get acquainted with the setting and our existing cast of characters. With the main feature being a Haunted House, think of those like... little popup Halloween festivals that happen during spooky season. Yes, it's still thrown by the school. Some of the money raised goes to help with field trips and all that jazz. Come on by, it'll be fun!
