ReverseTex
Old Timer
This RP will be set in the rural outskirts of Texas in the small town of Marathon. The last of true cowpoke country, Marathon, is always overlooked. During the cattle drive days, it was a mere stopping point in the long haul of desert travel. Now, it's merely another overlooked town on the way to your true destination. Except for the mountains, cacti, and the Mcbride family. The Mcbride ranch spans 424,000 acres and 57 miles in West Texas, making it one of the biggest ranches in Texas. Not only is it enormous, but the acreage is contiguous, which is rare for a property of this size. It’s been assembled from 22 historic ranch properties, many dating back to the settlement of the frontier in the late 1800s. Passed down through generations, the ranch has always operated as a haven for wildlife, livestock paradise, and revenue source for Marathon. Despite generations of success, the ranch is on the brink of financial ruin due to a combination of rising land prices, a bad drought, and an influx of developers eyeing the property for luxury housing and urban development.
This RP will be primarily driven by relationships and drama within the family, their highest employees, as well as friends and significant associates in Marathon. As well as the ruthless and fiery tension amongst those closest to each other, I will also throw in outside threats and challenges from law enforcement, corporations, natural elements, and others set to make life even more complicated for our characters. Let's make this as dramatic and fiery as we can!
Once there's enough interest, it's hoped we can work together to build on the family dynamics. I've got ideas to get us going and to shape the plot, but I want this to be a player-driven narrative. My ideas will take shape based on your characters and their experiences in the story. Decisions matter, and actions will have consequences.
Rules:
1. OOC and group plotting will all be done on Discord, so you may struggle with planning if you're unable to join the server. CS/IC threads will be done on RPN.
2. There's currently no limit on number of players and I'm happy for you to double up on characters, but only take on what you feel you can manage to keep up with.
However, please make at least one character a family member or a direct/significant part of the gang to ensure they're central to the plot.
3. Please only join if you can commit to posting at least once per week and don’t plan on leaving any time soon!
4. Romance is encouraged, but fade to black if things become sexual.
5. This is an advanced/literate RP. Please write 2+ paragraphs per post.
6. Profanity is acceptable, within reason. No need to make it excessive.
7. Please be aware, the RP will deal with mature themes (violence, threats, and other subjects you'd expect from this genre).
