Our Town, Our Rules

Candle Cape is one of those sleepy towns trapped between a vast sea and an endless forest expanse. A place where people go to get away from the rest of the world, without truly abandoning it. A classical mix of wealthy upper class who work their days in the port city just under an hour away, who'd rather retreat back to the peace of Candle Cape for a scenic and quite afternoon, and those who barely hold a penny to their name yet make every scrap of coin count to live their lives to the fullest with what they have.

Looking out towards the rocky water it would be impossible to miss the sole light house, dubbed "The Wicker" sitting out on the edge of a land bridge heavily worn by the onslaught of the sea. If you made the somewhat perilous trek to the structure you would find the kind old caretaker of this somewhat still functional landmark, who'd offer you some bitter tea and question why the kids keep asking him to say "No, not the bees." While a bit further in land you could have a run in with the Town Mayor, a woman who seems too busy for such a calm community~ Until recently. A forest fire had been creeping across the state towards the town for the last three weeks, but there's no way it would get all the way to Candle Cape, it would be too ironic. She's also dealing with the recent death of a youth in the town, both as an government official and as a close family friend. When she's not working away at paper work at town hall, she's often visiting local bar in which one could challenge and fail to out drink the Mayor, a feat few have managed. It's even a major part of her rather popular re-election campaign.

What about you? Where does your story fit in Candle Cape? Are you here to escape the city? Or simply one part of a long generational line and the town is all you've ever known. Enchanted by the community garden project, or wooed the soothing sea air which called to you from across the world. No matter what you came from, your background, or your future. One thing is true about all of the people who come to Candle Cape.

We Never

We're Writing This Story Together.

So the RP if you couldn't guess is centered around the inhabitants of Candle Cape Oregon, starting in early August and running out the last summer days until fall swings in with school and new series of events for the inhabitants to roll through. The RP will progress through scheduled time skips and events, if enough are school age there will be school events as well after summer ends. The targeted age range of characters is 17 - 21 but that's more a guide than a rule. Child and adult main characters, definitely add depth, also there's no limit to how many or what kind of characters you can make, and side characters to fill the town's roles are encouraged. There's NO post length requirement, but I would say 500 word minimum would be your target.

OOC will be on Discord and only after your first character is confirmed will you be invited. There is where discussion about the RP, smaller scale character interactions, and plotting will be held.
Including but not limited to:

- An IC Online Chat Room
- Social Media & DMs
- Daily Character Questions
- And More

I will note, while it's not required to use code for your CS and IC, I do very much love them, but a pretty CS is nothing without a good character, so it's not a must. I will also link to some BBcode resources for those who'd like them.

Give In

The Beach Party Body Blood Bath
The opening event. A body has been discovered!

Well more accurately, it washed up on the beach on August 8th, the night of a large annual summer youth party held by the Mayor and joint welcome home/birthday party for Piyeone Songenji.

The Mayor happens to be good friends with Piyeone's aunts who are rather wealthy and successful businesses women. The couple was more than happy to host the party for the town while also giving their niece a chance to meet those her own age after returning from a private school she had lived at most of her life.

The party will have all the current main characters attending as a way to get them to meet if they haven't before or just to show the connections between old friends.

The Haymarket Fire
The Haymarket Fire, a large forest fire which had been burning to the east of the town miles miles away, but has been creeping itself towards the coast. The fire won't actually reach the town but the effects of having it nearby will affect the environment as well as sparking discussions and concerns. The characters don't know when or where it will end.

I might be interested, if this is just starting out rather than in progress. I've been itching for a good modern semi-slice of life to get into lately.

[ToteMaus]

Then count me in!

I am still interested, as well. Didn't know that you changed it up!

Not much has changed, just trying another Interest check and better name

Yes of course, we need more people :3

Sweet, I'll have a form up soon

I can't create a CS even remotely as pretty as all the others, though. It's embarrassing, I'm a professional programmer, but I'm a backend nerd, so fancy UI and styling stuff is black magic to me.

Don't worry about it, visuals aren't as important as content. A shiny brick is no more better at building a house than a dull brick.

If you do want a good place to start understanding BBcode in effective simplicity I recommend looking through Tutorial - RpNation - BBcode Guide to get a better concept of it, but really you don't need anything at all.

 

[ChaosBisexualPirate]

I'm definitely interested!! I am as low-tech as they get, so I'll just be posting things the old fashioned way, quality writing over aesthetics... XD although I always try to create beautiful characters.

 

[CryoLilly]

I picked the simplest possible thing to use for mine. It's mostly impenetrable witchcraft to me. XD
