WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING CHARACTERS
(Or at least not until we acclimatize with everyone)


About the Story
Quote:
Sunnyvale and Moonhaven are sister towns. Sometimes they have their differences, but they still help each other out any time the other is in need. Any festival is a festival they share. Both have equally large town forums: one is round while the other is square, facilitating different festivals.
Setting
Quote:
Sunnyvale and Moonhaven are connected by the crystal cavern. Sunnyvale is in the east, and Moonhaven is in the west. Further out on both sides of the towns are the resident farmer's land. To the south of both towns is a large body of water with a long beach. To the north of Sunnyvale is a forest, where people can chop down trees to use for material and hunt some wild game. To the north of Moonhaven is the mountains, where you can find caves to mine materials, hunt other wild game, collect various ingredients, and find some hot springs.
Time
Quote:
Every 1 day within the RP will take up 15 real world days. So the 15th and 30th of every month will mark the day change, and everyone's post on or after that day will include them going to sleep. You're 2nd post afterwards will mark a new day for your character.

I do realize this would make 1 month in Harvest Moon time take over a year, which is why we only RP 1 week of Harvest Moon at a time, and do time skips to the next event we decide on.

For Example:
If we started the RP on December 15th, and in game would start on Spring the 4th. It's 7 days until the Spring Flower's Festival on Spring the 10th. So we'd all RP Spring the 4th until December the 30th. Around December the 25th, we'd make sure we were all at or getting to the place we're gonna sleep at. On/after the 30th of December, the next post we all make will mention something about us going to bed at the end. The next post we each make after that one will talk about what we all are doing on Spring the 5th.

Job: Young Farmer
Appearance or Picture:
Preferred Outfit: You'll often see him wearing his blue baseball cap anytime he's working on the farm. You'll also find him in his typical plaid shirt with rolled up sleeves underneath his jean overalls and working boots. When he does clean up and hit up the towns, you'll find him in dark jeans, a nice button up shirt, and a brown cowboy hat and boots.
Age: 17
Birthday: Autumn 14
Personality: Leo has a short fuse and a bad temper. He often finds himself in fights with anyone that makes fun of him. He's a gentleman to the ladies, but with anyone else who isn't his friend he finds himself getting offended quite easily.
Other Information: Leo grew up helping his grandmother on the farm every summer. Now that his grandma is suffering from dementia and isn't able to get around so easily, he has volunteered to run the farm. The townsfolk had always been nice to him, so he knows they'll help him if something bad were to happen.

Job: Shop owner
Appearance or Picture:
Preferred Outfit: Black slacks, light shirt with the sleeves rolled up and black glasses. He likes dressing preppy but comfortable. On special occasions, he dons a blazer and very shiny shoes (only because he polishes them so much). Freddie can't do without his glasses.
Age: 20
Birthday: Winter 17
Personality: Freddie gentle and calm, he doesn't like confrontations and can be shy at times. He, like his great aunt Evelyn, is a good listener, but tends to be more kind and subtle in his opinions. Also, Freddie is a firm believer in hard work and, due to the fact that he is very responsible, can be counted on to get a job done once he's put his mind to it.
Other Information: Freddie took over the general store after his great aunt. She felt that she had been around for a long time, given it everything she had and it was now time for "new blood to flow through it's veins." Freddie is proud and protective of the store and does his best to keep customers happy and the store in it's best condition.

Preferred Outfit: Grey peasant dress with a corset and striped stockings. She wears an apron when doing dirty work and in bad weather she dons a cloak and boots (rather than her customary Mary Janes) to protect her from the elements.
Age: 23
Birthday: Winter 11
Personality: Elise is the youngest of a long line of female magicians. She is an intelligent and talented magician but extremely forgetful and often clumsy, much like her grandmother Olga. As her grandmother is getting on in years, Elise has come to Moonhaven to take over the position of Resident Witch. She often tries to use her magic to help others, and thought she means well, her spells sometimes go awry…
Other Information: Her fiery red hair seems to have a mind of it’s own. No matter how much she brushes it or how well she ties it back, it’s always coming loose and getting in her way.

Preferred Outfit: Anna tends to wear anything that is comfortable. If it fits, she'll wear it. Since she doesn't like heat much, she's normally seen in tank-tops and shorts on hot days. When it's colder, she'll don a sweater and some jeans.
Age: 19
Birthday: Autumn 8
Personality: A very talkative and fun girl. She loves adventure, whether reading it in a book, or daring to do something crazy. She loves trying new things and seeing new places. When she goes on one of her endeavors, she tends to drag people along with her. She is very friendly, and has a nice sense of humor. The downside? She can talk, and talk, and talk! She forgets sometimes to let other people talk too. She doesn't mean to be rude, it just happens.
Other Information: Anna loves music. She is able to play a variety of instruments. Her dream one day is to play in front of lots of people. She also has family far away from Moonhaven, who send her letters often.

Age: Twenty-Two
Birthday: Spring 12th
Personality: Bubbly, outgoing, cheerful, kind.
Other Information: She considers herself to be a cheerful, fun loving girl. Who in their right mind doesn't like to get out of the house, break away from all of the hum drum of the every day work life and just let loose once in a while? Well.. Anyways, she loves my job. Cooking and running the Café is her passion. Even in her spare time she usually can be found in the kitchen working on a new recipe. Some people have said that she is obsessed with her work, but that isn't true. When you do something you love, how is it work? How can you not spend your time learning new things about your passion? She easily side tracked! Besides that, she is usually kind and caring, unless someone pushes the right buttons.. Then, well.. You better hope she doesn't a frying pan or sharp knife in in hand.. Who knows what accidents may happen in the kitchen?

Job: Livestock Sales man (Moonhaven)
Appearance or Picture: Jalen is tall and lanky, or that is what his baggy clothes would have you assume. He actually is a fit man, which one would have to be to do the work that he does. His arms and chest are chiselled from a life of working while his hands and feet are calloused for the same reason. His hair is dirty blonde, either naturally so or from all the dirt he collects from being around the animals all day. He has no family, and no one to impress so he wears stubble all along his jaw and chin. His eyes are a bright and icy blue which is appropriate considering his personality.
Preferred Outfit: He wears a dusty old sweater that at one point was bright orange but now mimics a carrot that has just come from the dirt. Beneath that he keeps it simple with a white thin strapped shirt covered by the overalls that hold up his over-sized slacks. Large black working boots complete the ensemble and really add an heir of ‘ I don’t give a crap’.
Age: Twenty seven
Birthday: August
Personality: Jalen isn’t a bad man; he is just…set in his ways. Some people think that they can change him, but those people clearly have not spent enough time around Jalen. He is a stubborn man and unwilling to change his ways for anyone, including the new folks that seemed to be cropping up here and there. He has opinions and he is not afraid to share them but mostly he keeps his mouth shut. But people need animals and he is the livestock dealer so he is mostly cordial, able to offer jobs to new comers and offer bits of advice when needed, if he is feeling up to it. At such a young age one might wonder why he seems so crass, but Jalen has no past to speak of in the community. He sort of just up and appeared one day, claiming to sell and train animals that needed selling and training. He offers good prices though and so really, not many questioned him upon his arrival. He lives day to day, experiencing what he experiences and trying to keep his business afloat in the process.
Other Information: Jalen sells cows, horses, chickens, sheep and goats and can order special animals at request and for a price. He has a shepherd to help herd his animals. Her name is Dee.

Ok ladies, I think I have the OOC thread effectively set up. There are a couple things I'd like to talk about and have you all help out with before I initiate the RP. Some of them include the pace of the RP, short character summaries for the static NPCs, and then what season/festival we want to start with!

So what's your opinion on the current topic of interest?

I was summoned, yes?
Yay, there's stuff going on
Alright, so pacing. I didn't quite understand it at first and had to read it twice, slowly. But, I do understand now and it seems doable. There's 4 of us, so 2 posts each makes 8 posts. Second post is the closing post and after those eight posts the day has ended officially. Am I right?

I think the idea you had about changing the days on a specific real life date is the best idea for the pacing. I'm honestly not sure if I can do one post per day however... I have other duties on the site that I must attend to before I play and I don't always have extra time in the evenings to do both. Would something like every other day be oaky for you or no? If not that's okay, no hard feelings. I don't want to hold anyone up.

Why that'll be difficult, the pacing according to a real date, is the time difference. Sometimes, when it's evening for some people I'm already in the next day.

Ah, and zig reminded me about this. Weekend posts are out for me as I have family obligations.

Right. And whether it takes 1 or 2 posts doesn't matter, we can make a decision a couple days before. And if waiting a month is too long, then we can shorten it to a day change on the 1st and the 15th.

I just want something that people can get into a routine of, and so people will have an idea that "oh, the day change is coming up, I shouldn't talk about how it's only noon"

That's fine, the day change won't be like an instant thing. It's something we'll work into the story. If you're talking about going to bed or someone else is, I think we'll get the idea.

Or you could think of the 14th for you as the day change? Perhaps? xD

Uh oh, didn't realize that rule would be such a problem. I'll reword it

It's all good. I'll reword that rule to "a reasonable timeframe" And as for everyone else, I'll understand if postage goes down during events, as long as we get back into it after the Menewsha event ends :P

Also, I don't post much on weekends either, so that works out just find SZP. Right now work & the boyfriend take up all of Saturday and Sunday, except for what I can do from my phone while working xD

Personally I think having a specifically set day will be easier to keep track of than saying "you have 15 posts to make it through the day" or something like that. You would really have to think about how much you are getting done in each posts to make sure you get past eating breakfast let alone wrapping up your work for the day and going back to bed. >.>

Even if we are in different time zones, it shouldn't really be that difficult to keep track of. I doubt the roleplay is going to move at the speed of light so it will probably take all day on the 15th for each character to come around and post their end of day activities. And if by any chance someone misses their chance to wrap everything up on their end they can just combine it with their post for the next day before describing their character waking up, etc.

Thanks for that Clarius! Once upon a time I used to be able to make tons of posts per day but alas, I don't have as much free time as I used to.

That's ok, we all have lives.

I'm pretty fluid, I want this RP to work, if my first ideas aren't good ones I'm willing to bend and change stuff.

Even if you don't get to post on the 15th cause it's not your turn yet, that's fine. You're next post on or after the 15th will be the "end of day" stuff.

Also, do you all have a preference for what jobs you want to do in the towns?

Silver Gamer:

SZP will post mainly m-f
Zig will post every 1-2 days
I will post mostly every day/night

Basically, rather than all of us discussing when would be a good time for a day change within the RP, I'd rather have a real life date to symbolize when a RP day change will happen.

Another example:

We start the RP on Spring the 7th. It's 3 days until the Spring Flower's Festival on Spring the 10th. So we'd all RP Spring the 7th until December the 15th. Around December the 10th, we would all mention what we are doing after it's starting to get dark. On/after the 15th of December, the next post we all make will mention "going home or going to bed" at the end. The next post we each make after that one will talk about what we all are doing on Spring the 8th.

---------- Post added 12-03-2013 at 11:11 PM ----------

Also, I'm trying to decide between either a young farmer or the doctor/nurse xD

Just let me know if you're still not understanding it Silvergamer, it might be better to break it down into what parts you do or don't understand, or how they all connect. Sometimes I'm not the best at explaining things xD Also if anyone else wants to have a go at rewording/translating the idea of the time stuff you're welcome to have a go at it.

So! On to the next thing. I'll edit the Topic of Interest and add in a form so we can work on the NPC summaries :P

I'll probably try to post once a day, maybe once every two days (new puppy, not a lot of time on my hands).

And I'm trying to decide between Pet Salesperson or Bartender. Hmmmm...
