07:56 pm - GAME RULES
  • Don't be a douche. Respect others and they will respect you. If they don't? Tell me. They will be taken care of justly. Safety is a big concern both in and out of game. There is a no tolerance policy concerning any kind of harassment, abuse, or being hateful in general. That being said I do not see everything. If you do not tell me, then I cannot warn or ban anyone. Do not expect me to be an all seeing mind reader when it comes to things of this matter.

  • Holly Heights works on a three strikes system. Some offenses, such as severely harassing a player, will result in an immediate ban. Small infractions, however, will result in one strike. Get three and you've struck out.

  • Be aware of characters you can and cannot app. Characters you cannot app are the following: OCs, canon AUs, AUs in general, canon OCs, universe duplicates (ie if Abraham Lincoln is apped from Lincoln, there cannot be any other Abes, like from Clone High or Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), characters with very few canon appearances or that do not have sufficient shown or stated personalities.

  • Be aware that you're playing with people who may be underage. Lock and rate posts accordingly. Sex is alright, have as much sex as you want, just lock and warn for it. That's all I ask.

  • Activity will be required once a month. It must consist of one of the following to stay in the game:
    A post
    A thread containing 10 comments from your character
    A log thread containing 5 comments from your character
    A mailbox thread of at least 15 comments from your character

    Strikes will be given. Once you have a strike, if you fail to make the next AC, you will be removed from the game. Make AC, however, and your strike is eliminated. AC will take place during reserve period AKA the last week of the month. Starting in 2014 you must not have a strike against you to app in a new character and you must wait at least one app period before reapping a character you let idle.

  • Follow basic RP common sense. IC isn't OOC, no godmodding, ask ooc permission when your character is about to do something extreme to another character, etc. The basics. Please check if someone has a permissions post. If they do, please stick to what is listed including RP content they don't want to deal with, threadjacking, and their comfortability with sexual/romantic possibilities. If someone brings to my attention you have neglected to do this, you will be warned.

  • No more than 5 characters per person. A player may only apply for one character from a canon, two per sister franchises (Final Fantasy, Tales of..., etc.), one per universe (so from Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Graces but not two Graces characters). This will eliminate the need to worry about interactions with ones self and prevent character hogging. Only two characters may be reserved and apped by one player every cycle, except for if you currently have 4 characters already in game, then only one reserve and one app may be put in.

  • Please tag your posts. The only real tags you need are names and types, after all.

  • It is strongly encouraged that you have an easily accessible HMD post. Whether or not you anon enable it is up to you, though. Note that this isn't a rule, but a suggestion.

  • Have fun, stay safe, be happy.

    PLEASE USE THE NEW POST. ALL APPS POSTED HERE WILL BE IGNORED.

    Personal Journal: [profile] putithereplease
    Contact Info: Please give us at least one other means of contacting you.
    Other Characters: You may remove this section if this will be your first character in game.

    IC INFORMATION
    Characters Name: Western order, por favor.
    Age: In years, if possible.
    Canon: Links to you canon's Wikipedia entry or it's own wiki or at least something to tell us what he hot haps are.
    Canon Point: Exact page numbers and panels aren't necessary, but being specific is good.
    Species: Note that any species other than human will become human. Animals, aliens, even human like beings. You're going to become homo sapiens like the rest of us.
    Gender: Both physical and mental.
    Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. Here at Holly Heights, we don't discriminate against anyone's orientations. That being said, if your character is gay, we aren't going to make them take a wife when housing plans are given. Gay marriage is completely legal. Please give us a short and simple reason you think they are gay/straight/bi/etc if they don't have an explicitly state sexuality. Please keep it short, though. We do know it's tempting to tl;dr about things like this. Long story short, the real question is Would your character be more comfortable with a wife, husband, or either?, so that we know what houses to place them in.

    History: Links will suffice, but please write it out if the links are insufficient.
    Appearance: A picture will be sufficient, but we'd never turn down a written explanation.
    Personality: This should be the biggest part of the application unless your history is written out. There should at least be 3 paragraphs OR 300+ words. No links. Using old app sections for this AS LONG AS THEY ARE YOUR OWN is reasonable.
    Abilites: Please note that in this domestic paradise, powers will be taken. Will you get them back? If you behave, perhaps. Please list any special powers your character has and any natural talents that they possess. This can range from flying to having nice handwriting.
    Other: Anything else you'd like to include? Put it here.

    SAMPLES
    First Person: "Action brackets", this will be your cell phone, webcam, and text related communicating. At least eight sentences is required. You may link from a musebox, a meme thread, or a previous roleplays tag for this section. When linking singular threads, however, make sure that they are at least 10 comments long from YOUR character to accurately judge. Can be taken from [community profile] testrun_box.

    Third Person: This is more like a log entry and action related. It should could more "he/she" than "I". Please give us at least two paragraphs OR 10+ lines or text. You may link to a musebox post or previous roleplay log for this but only if you didn't link for your first person and vice versa. Also remember that this isn't fanfiction and should act like a log post would . Just rambling on like a novel isn't writing a log. If linking, please make sure that there are at least 5 responses from your character to accurately judge. Can be taken from [community profile] testrun_box.

    OTHER
    Housing Request?: If you already have a place you want to live or a person you'd wish to live with, please say so here so it may be considered.
    Did you read the rules & FAQ?: Please say yes or I swear to God I will reject you.



    Apps should be formatted with the subject CHARACTER | CANON | RESERVED/NOT RESERVED or some variant.
    Apps MUST be placed in comments so that they may not be edited or deleted unless by a mod, aka no linking. You may split the application up into as many sections as you wish.
    All comments will be screened, though you will be given the option to unscreen them. Applications that are good examples of what we're looking for might be asked to be linked to as samples in future rounds.

    DROPS & HIATUS
    Hiatus: We all need a break sometimes, be it a shaky voice or real life drama or school. Feel free to fill out the following form and comment with "HIATUS" in the subject to let us know! Be aware of a few things first:

    A hiatus can last up to two weeks, no questions asked. If you need more than that, please detail why. You may ask for another week extension if you need more time. Unless you are hiatusing for a week or more, you will have to pass activity check. Posts to the OOC Community saying you are hiatusing don't do jack unless you comment here, so don't forget!

    The only option for your character(s) on hiatus as of right now is to have them on autopilot.



    Dropping: We understand; sometimes things don't work out. No hard feelings! Please let us know you're dropping with the following form and "DROP" in the subject bar. Remember, though, if a player or problem with the game are leading you to want to drop, please talk to a mod and we'll see what we can do about your problem. We'd be happy to listen to any suggestions. ( admin console )

    Holly Heights City Hall
    The center of government! Or a nice location for functions. City hall is full of offices and archives, though not particularly useful. If there were elections, the ballots would be located here, as well as various departments for dealing with the public. A place that would be comfortable for politicians.
    Owner:

    Holly Heights Court of Justice
    The institution's main functions are to review and judge suspicious criminal activity, accusations of crime, pleads of innocence, and appeals. Other functions include settle legal disputes submitted to it by the Holly Height residents and business owners and to provide advisory opinions on legal questions submitted. The building is fortified to withstand many natural disasters and has much free rooms for other organizations to use for meeting purposes. The building also offers drivers education.

    Holly Heights Farm
    A small farm that deals with livestock more than crops. Home to no more than two horses, five cows, ten chickens and a dozen sheep at the moment, as well as three sheepdogs. There's also a tool shed and a small cottage where the caretakers can rest if they have time.
    Owner: CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
    Employees:

    The Holly Heights Library
    The Holly Heights Library is housed in a sprawling old building complete with large windows and of course, rows upon rows of books: from novels to histories, do-it-yourself psychoanalysis to knitting for dummies, you're sure to find something to catch your fancy. Unable to find something? Ask one of the helpful librarians wandering around or try your luck with one of the computers. There is plenty of study space in the great hall, as well as cozy study rooms with over-stuffed armchairs, warm draperies and polished wood tables. If communal studying isn't your thing, there are chairs dotted throughout the library in little corners stuffed full of books for your solitary enjoyment. To keep you in the library for as long as possible, there is a small counter located in the basement serving a variety of juices, caffeinated drinks and cold foods.

    Holly Riverside Fishery
    A river that runs just on the edge of the housing district, close enough for anyone who would want to swim, fish or use the water for other means. A small shack can be found on the bank of it where residents can get fresh fish from the river.

    The Hospital
    The building to the right of the path is the hospital, same in state and stature though two stories taller. When a character dies, they arrive in the hospital, on any floor in any room. Nothing is in the building anymore, save some beds and clipboards. They can make their way out easily. Hopefully they don't get lost in the forest coming back, though.

    The Jail
    On the outskirts of the houses is a lane that leads straight into the rugged forest that surrounds it on one side. Following it can be tricky, but at the end of the little trail is a clearing with two buildings. On the left is the jail. A signboard stands out front, completely worn down so that its name has no visibility. The jail itself is square and five stories tall, gray and stone but becoming over-grown by mosses and vines. Out back is a small, graveled exercise area. All windows have no glass but they are thickly barred. All doors are locked and it is impossible to enter...unless you have the key of course.

    The Landlord's House
    Behind both the jail and hospital is a thick forest yet again. Much like the original journey, there is another path, but there is a bit more difficulty in finding it. The path is hidden, overgrown, and decently long and twisting, and most people don't manage to make it all the way due to either frustration or getting lost in the undergrowth. If one does go through to the end, they'll find themselves in a large clearing, holding an expansive garden and ornate, old-fashioned house. Two stories, the house is made of old grey stones with wooden shutters, and is almost like a cottage, if it wasn't so big. Approach the door and grab the handle? You'll see black and wake up in front of your house, no recollection of having walked back home.

    Daily Holly Heights
    Daily Holly Heights is your neighborhood that just so happens to mirror Daily Yamazaki in almost every way possible. But the most important thing is that it does indeed carry the signature Yamazaki baked goods that this chain is known for. Everything from magazines, manga comic books, soft drinks, onigiri, bento, etc. could be found in this neighborhood konbini. So please stop in at your convenience, in true convenience fashion the shop will be open 24/7!

    Hikawa Shrine
    A modest Shinto shrine, named after Rei Hino's home shrine in the Azabu-jūban district of Tokyo. Fortune telling services are offered by the miko when available, and talismans can be purchased during ordinary business hours. But primarily, the shrine is intended as a haven for those who wish to train in their own individual sense of spirituality. Should one wish to remain secluded for more intense training, there are rooms available for short periods, with payment and length of stay to be negotiated with the acting head priestess. For ordinary everyday visitors, the grounds are always open and freely available.

    Law Enforcement Unit
    Located within the housing gate and formerly sponsored by Mayoco, Holly Height's petty law enforcement unit and fire department is responsible for any and all emergencies. Their staff varies from detectives, former cops, heroes and medics, in order to create a proactive policing partnership with its residents by providing quality scouting services through community involvement, working alongside the court house when necessary. Their tasks range from patrolling to taking phone calls from distressed civilians. More information here!
    Employees: Here!

    Maritime Cafe!
    Attached next to the Orchid & Lotus shop in ... complete co-dependent fashion, is an extremely small coffeeshop. Although attached to the flowershop, it isn't affiliated to it. Haru just needs help letting go. Here Haru will whip up anything from teas, coffees, to hot chocolates, even fresh, natural drinks--serving them from a window. Please be nice to the cat that sleeps on the windowsill, and leave a tip!

    Orchid & Lotus
    A small and quaint establishment, the Orchid & Lotus is not just a flower shop. While it harbours a wide room where the flowers are on display and the greenhouse is at the back, it also holds a welcoming (although tight-spaced) communal sitting area to have a drink (tea/booze) and read, or whatever activity will encourage the passing of time. It's a two-man operation, and it's clear that it is; the service is friendly and business is slow, but it's the place to go for some quiet time and to have an amicable chat either with Prez behind the counter or Makoto by the flowers.

    St. Fiacre's Cathedral
    A Christian/Catholic denominated place of worship. Services are held every Wednesday night and Sunday morning. Holidays will also be heavily celebrated here for those of the denominations faith. The church is extremely ornate, both inside and out. NPCs run the church but any position can be taken over by someone with (or without) the qualifications. They won't, though, have any control over the events and holidays held inside. Worshiping priests and pastors, while NPCs, will still preach...sort of. They read straight from the bible and do no hymnals or speeches. Because of this, services are almost always short and not by the book as they are in most churches. The church is located four blocks southwest of the town square.
    Employees:

    Town Square
    In the middle of the street-filled area of the housing district is a grassy area holding a pavilion with benches, an open area, an a bulletin board. The bulletin board will contaisn certain pieces of news that will randomly appear or anything a character chooses to stick up there. Town meetings and other events can and possibly will be held here.

    Various Parks
    Every four or five blocks, there will be a small park, complete with play ground, swings, a bench or two, and a short walking path. There is a much larger park located in the pleasure districts, but for quick jogs or a cheap date, these are easier and closer.

    Wild Side Petting Zoo
    It's an exotic petting zoo with an abundance of animals, but nothing too overwhelming.

    In one pen, there are the sheep, goats, chicken, and rabbits for the smaller children to play with and feed. In another pen are the larger animals, which include an ostrich, kangaroo, zebra, and a giraffe that smaller children with adult supervision and older children can enjoy riding with the assistance of one of the animal helpers

    Then there's a small pond with frogs, fish, turtles, and ducklings for everyone to enjoy.

    There's also a baby tiger that can be played with under supervision.

    The Training Center
    A multi-level training center that is open 24 hours and inhabited by monsters from various worlds that caters to the needs of those that wish to challenge their fighting skills. There are separate areas featuring different degrees of difficulty (Cactuars, Grats, Mesmerize, Marlboros, T-Rexaur, and Ruby Dragons, amongst others), all of which imitate the natural habitats the monsters come from; most notably, woodland and plains. The first area appears to be more staged and straightforward, with paths that area easy to follow. Other levels have terrain that becomes increasingly rugged and more difficult to navigate, however.

    There are safe areas on each level, which hold medical supplies to take care of any ailments or injuries they may have incurred as well as a quick route out of the building. There are strict rules for safety that one must abide by if the wish to patronize the center and anyone found being reckless and endangering themselves or others will be escorted off the premises.

The first 101 (or so) are available for rent for reasonable rates and can be used for any conceivable purpose: entertainment, business, etc. Each floor or office comes unfurnished, but if you bug the (building's) landlord, it can be decorated for a small cost.

      The Ritz-Carlton Holly Heights
      Why do you need a hotel, you might ask? Well, that is a very good question... that I do not have the answer to right at this moment. But this one is very nice and the rooms are available at a much more reasonable rate than they might be were this building in its original location. It occupies the 102nd to 116th floors of the ICC.

    Aquila, a cozy, two-story building in Pleasure Gate, is a cat cafe and rescue.

This fancy hotel strives to provide five-star services in a five-star environment. Five floors of ballrooms, conference spaces, and individual hotel suites in various contemporary/minimalist design styles provide luxurious accommodations for all discerning tastes.

The establishment's goal is personal maturation and power. In order to achieve this goal, they offer occasional themed weekend events, trust- and team-building exercise activities, and ever-changing morale booster socials.

    The Grande Fountain
    This large fountain rests in the very center of the Pleasure Gate. With three tiers and statues perched on its sides, it's quite a presence in the city. Coins can be tossed in, though it serves no real purpose as of right now. Surrounding the fountain is a large tiled park way with benches and maps. At night, large ball lamps turn on to light the area. Walkways start here and branch off to walk around the gate and taking certain ones will take travels to certain city hot spots. On Fridays and weekends, an NPC will do tram runs along them for sight seeing and fast travel.

    Hinanawi Colosseum
    In the Pleasure district, there is already a large park, and quite a nice one it is too. However, right next to it, there will appear a completely mystifying arena - complete with spectator stands and other facilities (obviously showers, a pool, a pretty sweet sauna, target range, equipment storehouse, and various deathtraps) in an adjoined medium-sized building (there is also an entrance/exit to the building through the tunnel into the arena itself, making for a dramatic entrance for any scuffles that need solving.)

    But so it doesn't get boring, there are also a few snags. The 'deathtraps' in question present themselves as an utterly impossible series of tasks including rotating cylinders of death and spike-filled shields coming at you from both directions along with booby-trapped arrows and a ridiculous puzzle where you place a flimsy cotton scarf on a high pedestal to open the door to the next level and the final challenge of two swinging blades ready to give you a flesh wound. This is the only route to said sauna. There is no other way in. There's a hidden door out, but you won't know it's there until you're already inside.

    Thankfully, everything is made out of padded fabric and plastic, so it is an utterly pointless challenge. However, Tenshi will preside over anyone wishing to take the test and send them away if they get hit, mainly because it's funny.

    Hollyday Theme Park
    A large recreation complex, appearing much like a fantasy city. The park's major theme is fantasy itself, arranged in a colorful way to have the imagination be happily inspired. Hollyday is based from South Korea's two amusement parks, Everland and Lotte World, two perfect places for Korean dramas's love stories to become reality.

    There are four districts within the amusement park's range: Gala, Voyage, Reverie, and Utopia. The districts are arranged in a circle, with a heavenly castle and fountain connected in the center plaza. Soft, vibrant colors are always present around the location, even through the night.

    The sight of hot air balloons, running roller coasters, spinning cotton candy, pleasing area music, adorable gifts and prizes, and the overall lively aura will surely please the park's guests. Whether it is bringing a family member, a good friend, that special one, or simply yourself over, Hollyday is here to accommodate endless entertainment for everyone.

    If you've come with a loved one or a group of friends, we recommend wearing matching hairbands or headgears! This is a popular dating trend in Korea and Japan, where couples pick and wear a pair together, like so. Usually, they decide together, and then they help each other put the accessory on.

During the evenings, the rink is filled with ice figures thanks to Yukihina's powers, if anyone feels like skating among sculptures. If one wants to take a break, there's a nifty little snack bar on the side, selling hot cocoa and other edibles they can consume as they sit down on the surrounding bleachers. Open hours are between 8 and 20. The rink is reserved for lessons between 8-12 and open for the public use between 13 and 20, and during the last two hours. Information here!

    Incredibly Exclusive Old Guy Club
    The exterior of the club is pretty boring; a simple brick building with nondescript windows and a plain wooden door at the entrance. There are two signs on the door, one proclaiming the name, and another carrying the opposite message: "Everyone Welcome". Inside can be found wood paneling and leather upholstery, fireplaces and bookshelves, the very image of an upscale members-only club. Chess and other board games are available, smoking is allowed, and there's a fully-stocked bar, as well as a few snacks on hand.

    Aside from the main lounge area, the Club boasts a library, small meeting rooms, a billiards room, a steam room, a hot tub, and a couple of simple bedrooms for the occasional "in the doghouse with my spouse" situation. A special membership is required to stay overnight, book the meeting rooms, or loll around the private hot tub area, but this not-really-exclusive club is open for guests in the bar.

    Inkberry Elementary School
    The smallest of the four schools, Inkberry sits in what could be called a valley in the furthest part of the gate from the outside, near the center that connects all the gates together, and houses grades K-6. It's not quite decrepit looking, but still has some obvious signs of wear and tear. Not too many NPCs roam around here, but don't let that fool you. They'll still do whatever it takes to keep kids in school, including detention, calls home, and even chore duty.
    Teachers:

    Honey Maid Middle School
    Slightly bigger, Honey Maid is in the middle of the Gate and holds grades 6-8. Though slightly larger, there are still few NPCs and classes consist mostly of automated, sermon-esque lectures that would perhaps go right over the average middle-schoolers head. The grounds are plentiful in size, though lunch break is only one hour long and no free periods are allowed, so it's rather a waste.

    Altaciere High School
    This school is by far the largest, though a lot of its rooms go unused. Hosting grades 9-12, the school holds a lot of the teenage population of Holly Heights. The high school offers a driving class for those getting their license, but most other classes are run by NPCs that seem to be rather scattered and preach gibberish more than teach. While not the most academically inclined school, it is a place with a large grounds, perfect for field days and outdoor dances.

    Indoor Pool
    Founded by the Altaciere High School Swim Club, the Holly Heights Indoor Pool is a facility located a block from the high school.

The swim club meets after school thrice weekly, and select weekends; however, feel free to contact the manager or captain to gain access otherwise.

    Your Landlord

    The only commenting NPC here as of late is the ever infamous landlord. The lessor. He's the one that brought you here and he's not afraid to admit it. Why? So you could be happy. Everything is perfect in Holly Heights. Of course, when people are added to the mix, perfection has to be sacrificed. The landlord above all else wants you, your family, absolutely everyone to be happy here. If you want a building, he'll provide it. If your car breaks down, it will be fixed. If you didn't believe in God before, you might start to now. He's the closest thing you can get.

    Occasionally the landlord will make appointed house calls. They're brief, nonchalant, and unexpected.

    But why has he done this? Why has he taken you out of your element, away from family, loved ones, friends, and placed you in this suburban jungle?

    Who knows. You might find out one day.

    Civilians
    To give the community that nice Pleasentville meets Lipstick Jungle look, civilians will mill about in houses, districts, and practically anywhere. Like the officers, they don't need keys to move around and don't have any real drive. Unlike the officers, however, they can't and won't enter a character occupied home. They tend to not talk to or interact with the actual residents at all. If contact is initiated, they will simply look deeply confused and go about their business.

    The way to tell a civilian from an actual tenant, beside from their erratic behaviour, is their colouring. Civilians will be greyer and duller looking, uninteresting and completely vapid in appearance. No character traits stick out. If you happen to look at two at once and look away...what was the difference between them? What was their hair colour? Eye colour? No one knows. All you can remember is a sad, grey feeling. It might be wise not to talk to them again.

    Workers
    Workers are NPCs that run restaurants, clubs, workplaces, and buildings in place of player characters. These NPCs are just like normal civilians except they appear a lot more cheerful and will actually talk to you. It's their job. Still, it's nearly impossible to recall anything except their grayness.

    10:13 pm - PREMISE
    PREMISE
    What the hell is going on?

    Your character been brought to the lovely community of Holly Heights. It's a gated town, self sufficient in every way. Your character is stuck here and there's nothing they can do about it.

    Where is my character going to wake up at?
    Didn't you read the profile? In one of their lovely lawn chairs out front, holding the keys to their new house and sweet ride.

    Okay so what now?
    Let's take it from the top so you're not confused anymore.

    Well, most people would try to go in the house now, first of all. Let's say you get out of that snazzy chair and march yourself up to the front door of the abode you're in front of, maybe to break in or to pound on that door mercilessly because by gum you want answers. But wait, what's this? Taped to the door quite neatly is a rather thick mailing envelope with your name written on it. Do you open it? Let's say you do. Inside is a stack of papers, no more than 10, which looks like boring paperwork. Look carefully though. On the front of this stack is your name quite clearly printed out. Upon reading it, you'll discover this house, car, yard? All yours. And you don't have to pay a dime for it.

    Also in this envelope is a cell phone. It might be familiar to you, it might be new. It's also yours. Think of it as a house-warming gift. So is the well-stocked fridge inside, but more on that later. There also might be some other people inside, but don't sweat the small stuff.

    The only other thing besides more boring lease agreement papers is a single business card, eerily simplistic in it's wording and design.



    So what's the big point of this game?
    A big trend in the RP world right now is horror and action. Here, the landlord wants you to be as happy and blissfully comfortable as he is. Of course, some people would object to being "kidnapped" (such a nasty word, though), married off, and told they can't leave. Some people. All in all, this game is about the life your character could have. A life of domestic bliss and homey comforts without all the exploding organs and battle arenas some games have to offer.


    Doesn't that get boring, though?
    Well, of course. If I sat you in a house with a pool, I'm sure you'd get bored too. That's where interactions and events come from. Here, you have the ability to plod along with the rest of us or you can make your own fun. Try to start a revolution, make a garage band, try some new foods. Whatever floats your wee little boat.

    Plain and simple, you're doing it right if you're having fun, going with the set plot or following the beat of your own drum.

    So there is a plot? And there are events
    Plot wise, sort of. Nothing to in your face PLOT TIME GO GO GO GO GO!! for you. But yes, there is an over-arching something or other going on. You didn't expect it to all be 100% sunshine and roses, right?

    And of course! Every community has events. Dances, fairs, holidays, parades, and much more! There's also tragedies such as natural disasters and deaths. It varies depending on the month, the weather, and just whenever stuff happens. There will normally be one big event a month, most of which holiday related. It is not necessary to participate in these.

    But who is this landlord guy?
    The landlord is a tricky fellow. The whole purpose of yours new living situation is to be happy, living a life that is care free and without the troubles and toils of your regular life and in your normal environment. What he doesn't understand is that some people are more happy left alone and that it takes all sorts. Everyone in Holly Heights has the same cookie cutter house with a cookie cutter car and cookie cutter expectations, give or take a few lee-ways. Why would you want to leave? No matter how much anyone tries to reason with him, he's certain he's right and certain that in the end, you'll see eye to eye.

    What are the gates around this place like?
    Twenty feet tall, barred and spiked, but they still hold a certain splendor to them. The gated outside is gold but the enclosed districts have gates of colour. In the northwest there is the Alumni Gate, bars surrounding it yellow and shining where schooling happens. South west of it lies the Housing Gate, green-enclosed and where you'll find residence. Right of that is the Shopping Gate, blue in colour and the location of all stores and offices, gated with blue. Last and above the Shopping Gate is the Pleasure Gate, home of entertainment, eateries, and assorted other pastimes, all surrounded by red. Shaped like a Venn diagram, where each gate touches is an entrance way with a door and keyhole. When driving, simply stop, unlock the gate with the appropriate key, and it will open for you. This also goes for walking and other small forms of travel.

    The bottom line is...?
    You now live in Holly Heights, premiere gated community, located where? No one knows. Just that once the gates close, they aren't going to open anytime soon.

    Holly Heights is a panfandom roleplay focusing on the simpler things in life as well as relationship building. A character will be assigned to a house and family and will live life through the Holly Heights town. Rainstorms, street fairs, family outings. The only danger to you here is the possibility of a neighbourhood tussle or a minor fender bender going to the old grind stone. School dances and parades are more common here than murders and thefts. Kick back and relax. You don't have to pay your landlord with anything but your presence in his beautiful town. No rent and only the occasional unexpected drop in. He wants everyone to be comfortable. He doesn't want you to leave.

    10:37 pm - F.A.Q


    What's the pace?
    One day in game is one day out of game. For a schedule of events, please see the calendar page.

    These keys...what all do they unlock. How many are there?
    There will be five keys on your key ring as well as one keychain. Four rustic looking brass keys will unlock the district gates. They are all color coded accordingly:

    Green - Housing
    Red - Pleasure
    Yellow - Alumni
    Blue - Shopping

    The fifth key is the key to your characters house. On the wider part of the key, there will be a number in the thousands, much like an average street address. This is also the number on the front of your house, right on the door. There are no street names here. Just numbers. Each house has a unique one. This key will unlock your characters house and their house only. They also have the dual purpose of starting your character's car and only their car, as well as unlocking it. The key chain, of course, is the insignia for the gated community. Town pride and all that.

    How do we communicate?
    Well there's action, of course. All computers come with the minimal web functions of webcamming and text chatting in the Holly Heights chat platform. Did your character have a cell phone in canon? They can keep it though all their old history and contacts have been removed. If they didn't, then here's a little house warming gift from your landlord. They can directly chat to the community with them, webcam from them, or text individuals. All cell phones, new and old, will come equipped with a complete contact list of all the characters in game which will be updated as players app in and drop. There can be, of course, public text posts with filtered texts to specific people, but it's best if private texts were kept to mailboxes unless they are pivotal to plots, development, or what have you. Also note that there is no way to hack a text unless someone else picks up the recipient or the senders phone.

    What the hell is a mailbox?
    Click here, wise guy.

    In all actuality, if you're accepted, in the acceptance instructions you will be asked to set up a mailbox post to be linked on your taken character comment. This is for text messages and letters sent directly to your character, meaning it serves as both a phone inbox and a house inbox. This is nifty for when you want a conversation to take place and it's not worth it to log it. Careful, now. Don't go text spamming anytime you want something to happen. It takes 15 texts/letters to count if you're going to use them towards activity check.

    Powers are taken, I get that. But what is taken and how does it work?
    Powers are taken if they are of supernatural ability or are considered over the top, which is usually all powers. If you are unsure of whether or not something qualifies as a taken power, it's perfectly fine to contact me or to just write your application as usual and I'll make a note of it in a response. Characters are informed they are as human as possible, which some may figure to mean no powers, but they do discover on their own that oops, no more super strength, vampiric tendencies, etc. Regaining a power is rather sudden and not a gradual art. When it is asked for and the time comes, it shall be given.

    Please know that there are differences between supernatural powers, superhero-like powers, and what is latent and can be considered a possible ability. Someone who is super strong just because they're stronger than most isn't something that they'd have taken. But if there is a very large gap between what is realistic, intuitive, or a special something a character can do and something that is a power to be taken.

    Can my character die?
    Yes, sadly. Car accidents happen, drownings. Maybe even murder if you piss the wrong guy off. You never know.

    What happens when my character dies?
    They experience a small amount of pain and then black out. The body immediately vanishes. The next thing they know, they wake up in the old abandoned hospital in the Housing District completely healed. The only bad side to this is remembering exactly how they died.

    This is for you to know and for your characters not to. According to your lessor in the paperwork left on your kitchen table, your characters are mortal now, if they weren't already. Whether they believe this or not is up to you, but the absolutely do not have knowledge of their apparent immortality upon arrival.

    Can my character work in the hospital?
    No. There is currently a player-run and created health clinic though that is open and can be worked!

    If my character is murdered, what happens to the culprit?
    7 days in jail, but they get to keep their phones. If you plan to kill someone, please contact the mod account or keep this in mind. This only applies to killing characters, not NPCs.

    How long is the time between being murdered and waking up in the abandoned hospital?
    The day someone dies and are killed, they have until the next midnight to be revived. So if you got killed at 12:01 AM, you'd be revived at 12:00 AM the next day. If you got killed at 11:59 PM, then you'd just be revived within a minute.

    Is it possible to break out of prison?
    No! Powers are sealed and due to Landlord magic, a jailbreak is impossible.

    Does the Landlord just know when someone murders a person? What if it was a sort of indirect murder where they use someone else to murder them or a really complex string of events that wind up getting the victim killed?
    It's all based on the Landlord's magical knowledge. Regardless of the involvement, the killer is the one who goes to jail. If someone pays someone to kill someone, the person who actually kills goes to jail. In the instance of, per se, the cliche dropping of a flower pot onto someone's head, even if it was accidental, then that person would still be sent to jail. In more complex cases, which I am too tired to think of right now, it'd be best to just ask who would go to jail.

    What about language?
    Even though the country isn't known, the format of the world is roughly modern America. That being, all language defaults to English. It's strange, really. The only time a character will speak their native tongue is when they focus intently on what they want to say in their own language and then say it. This deters characters with common tongues from carrying on entirely in their own language.

    And money?
    Money can be earned via a job. The currency here is completely plastic. All funds will be kept on a card. Get paid? Money goes on. Buy something? Money comes off.

    Food is free at the Holly Mall grocery store which houses almost any food you could desire. Restaurants are not free though and require coinage. Upon coming to Holly Heights, the closet in the house of your characters room that belongs to them will be filled with clothes to their liking though not necessarily their own. If they want a wider selection, they may go buy more. All trinkets and other items will have to be bought. Houses come with basic furnishings, a television, and a computer. Rooms have beds, bathrooms have toothbrushes and etc.

    What if my character steals something or hits someone or gets into a fender bender?
    As much as he'd like, the lessor can't prevent all harm from being caused. When peace has been broken, the consequences can go anywhere from being accosted by the neighbourhood police or having a regained item taken away. There is a jail in Holly Heights, but it's abandoned.

    So damage is insured? There's no fine or anything? What happens to the damages?
    The house and car will be fixed within a 24 hour period, aka when night falls, shit gets fixed magically, and then it's all hunky doory the next day. No cost to the character at all! Break whatever you want!

    Do our characters keep their memories?
    Yes. The only thing to be regained here is their personal items. The recall all past events in their lives, or at least what they remembered as far as canon goes.

    Speaking of which, is it true gay marriage is allowed here?
    Your landlord doesn't see why not. It's none of his business who his tenants get married to. Except they will, whether they like it or not. Eventually, anyway. Welcome to your new family!

    So is it just m/m, f/f, and m/f marriages? And what about trans* characters?
    When filling out the Orientation section, it's important to note one of the last lines on the explanation page. It's not so much important that you explain your character's sexuality as it is to say whether or not they'd marry a man, woman or any other gender on the spectrum. They'll then be matched randomly with someone that suits their needs. Trans* characters will have the same portion as everyone else. Please just fill out the gender and orientation section to the best of your ability, and we'll take it from there. To put simply, if someone says they are okay with marrying your character, no matter what gender they may be, they can marry them. Err, the lessor will force them into marriage, anyway.

    Screw all that, can my character just not get married?
    The gated community runs on what the lessor considers happiness. In his version of happiness, there's a ball and chain. Sorry. Have fun being single but it may not last long.

    So do you guys pick out a husband or wife for me? Or no.
    Yes! Unless you specify who you'd like your character to marry. Then there's 1 99.9% chance that's how it will work.

    Can they get divorced?
    No, that's a naughty word.

    Can there be single parents?
    Yes. Houses with one spouse can have one to two children. Have fun raising a kid on your own!

    Let's say I app a kid character and stick around with you losers long enough that they turn 18.
    Without exceptions, they will be removed from their child slot and put into an adult slot. This is why even child characters should fill out the Orientation portion of the application.

    How does this happen?
    Go to the canon update page and follow the instructions.

    So does that mean characters will age?
    Nope. Think about it like this. Your character will stay in the same physical state they came here in but that doesn't mean the years aren't ticking. If you stayed 100 years and got here when you were 19, you'd still look 19 but actually be 119.

    What if my character has no discernible age/birthday?
    Age guessing is a-okay, as is rounding out if there isn't an exact number. For birthdays, we'll just wing it. If you app in a 17 year old, expect us to hound you about adult-ifying them sometime in the future.

    Can I age a character up?
    No. Characters can only be played from ages shown in their canon points. Remember, though, that age does affect a person's personality and that will need to be reflected in the application.

    Can child characters have jobs?
    Yes, as long as they are 14 and up. They may not work in bars, however. That is only for adults.

    What does this landlord look like?
    No one knows. He does come out for house calls occasionally, but even when you look at him, you can't really explain his face. After he leaves, you can't recall a single thing about his appearance. He's perfected true anonymity.

    What is a "lessor" anyway?
    It means one who owns a lease. Except you're paying with your bodies, here, and not money. In a non-sexual way, of course.

    My character dropped their keys and lost them!
    Never fear! A new set will appear in their pocket, handbag, hand, etc. as soon as they're dropped. The old set will never be found again.

    They lost their phone too, oops.
    Phones are a different story. If you lose it, call it. The phones batteries never run out, surprisingly. Hopefully someone will pick it up and find it.

    Actually they ruined their phone. Sorry bout it.
    Destroyed phones will be replace immediately via the mailbox. You just can't get rid of these fuckers.



    It's a gate surrounding the community, not a wall. What can I see through the bars?
    If your character happens to travel far enough to get close to the outside gates and peek through them, all they will see is dense forest. It's almost jungle like. Not much else is known about the outside other than it's very, very green, cold, and smelly.

    Can't they just climb over it? I hop fences all the time.
    Well, one, it's got a pretty spiky top to it. Also, sure, they can climb over. But once they hit the ground, if they stand up and look around, they will be right back on the other side like nothing ever happened.

    Digging under?
    Digging under the fence would just meet you with the same thing as on top of it: metal bars extending far down into the dirt, as far as you can go. Digging anywhere will just get you dirt, dirt, and more dirt!

    Oh yeah. What does my house look like inside?
    It's pretty bare and white-walled. You can paint it, renovate it, knock out walls, etc. The landlord has given full creative license to you. This is your new home after all. You're free to decorate it however you'd like.

    There will be, however, a room list that is uniform with all houses:

    Two bedrooms
    Two bathrooms
    A living room
    A foyer
    A kitchen
    A dining room
    An office
    A laundry room
    A garage
    A small attic-like space

    There is also a backyard with a lawn area and an in-ground pool that is decent in size, as well as a patio.

    Only two bedrooms?
    Well, yeah. You'v got two kids and a spouse, possibly. How many bedrooms do you need?

    What about beds...?
    In the master bedroom, normally reserved for the happy couple (or, if you're pleasantly single), and it holds one king sized bed. The children's room will hold two twin sized beds.

    You can, of course, buy another bed for the main bedroom, if sleeping with a stranger who happens to be married to you is not something you would like to do. Children may also move their beds to separate rooms. It's up to you to customize your house anyway you please.

    So do they have computers here?
    Yes, actually. BUT when you turn them on and try to go onto the internet, a big red screen will pop up, deterring you from connecting to anything. Try anyway? Your computer shuts down automatically. Turn it back on and try again? The joke is on you because there isn't any net to get on anyway.

    There is a webcam, though. And a community wide chat room.

    Is anything hackable?
    Everything will be public unless stated otherwise, here. Hacking isn't possible even for private things. Security is a big stress, here, and any hackers, if they attempt their trade, will have their computers shut down immediately.

    I'm feeling nitpicky. What kind of computers.
    Your new lessor is a very anti-Apple guy. All computers are Windows run laptops.

    There's only one car per house, right?
    Yes. It's basically a first come, first served thing. First family member in the house gets the car. If they want to give it up when your character gets there, then that's up to you guys. You're all a family now, whether you like it or not.

    My character can't drive in canon. Can they drive now.
    Nope. Have fun on the roads!

    What is the driving age? The drinking age? Smoking age?
    Again, mimicking modern America, the driving age will be 16 and teens will be taught how to drive in school a year prior at 15. Smoking is also the same and a character of 18 and older can buy cigarettes. Unlike America and following a more European standard, any adult may drink, meaning anyone of 18 and over. Please drive, drink, and smoke responsibly, both in and out of character!

    What sorts of animals are around here?
    The typical animals you'd see in a suburban area. Squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, the occasional deer, stray cats and dogs. There's a farm in the area, so you can also god mod some animals escaping from it!

    What's the sky look like?
    Just like our sky here.

    Is there public transportation?
    Nope!

    What can I expect from the television?
    Occasionally, things can be broadcast from homeworlds with Landlord approval. Equipment for TV broadcast is available to be purchased n stores. Asking for your own production to be broadcast is perfectly fine! Other than that, the TV is usually just for watching or playing media since all stations are green unless a news bulletin is played (such as in the case of the murders).

    Do the schools require uniforms? Anything? School supply lists?
    No. The schools here are pretty much useless. Sorry.

    Are the houses separated by a fence or are they just next to each other?
    The front of the houses are not separated by fences BUT the backyards are fenced in. In regards to houses and their placement, it's three houses to a block. So 1400, 1401, 1402 face 1403, 1404, 1405 while 1403, 1404, 1405 share a backyard fence with 1406, 1407, 1408. It goes on from here.

    What are the types of phones the landlord gives the residents?
    The types of phones given to each character are completely up to the players discretion. So basically any kind of circa 2013 technology will be usable. If a player chooses to have their phones from home given to them, technology can be highly advanced but special powers that the phones may hold are blocked.

    What forms of media can be found?
    Any! Canon names and possible not canon names. Regarding canons, some people like to be specific and buy Naruto and etc but others will make up similar names so as to avoid fourth walling. Either way works, it's all up to personal preferences. But things like this can be found here.

    Give me specifics on the car.
    They are 2012 Chevrolet Camero convertibles and automatics!

    What all is punishable by law?
    For now, just murder. All other crimes are not punished by the Landlord.

    What is the year in game?
    While the technology is modern to our world and the cars say 2012, it's been revealed that our year (2012) is year 2 in Holly Heights. 2014 will be year 3 and so on.

    If my character can fly/gets a way to fly, what happens if they try to fly up?
    There's not so much an invisible barrier or anything, just a heavy force. You can go up about the height of a medium-sized skyscraper. Think about 100 stories.

    What is the NPC situation like in the school?
    There are a few NPC teachers, but not many since the school's population is small. There are no NPC children; NPCs are just adults to inhabit vacant houses and take jobs.



    Can my character get items from home back?
    Your landlord doesn't particularly get this sentiment, but if it's what you want, it's what you'll get. Regaining items will happen every so often and normally will be prizes or privileges earned, except when he's feeling generous. The only other time an item can be regained is if you make a strong case with him in his inbox. Note that this shouldn't be abused to get every single thing your heart desires.

    What can my character regain?
    Anything, within reason. Make sure it is an item that they either have in canon, have had in canon, or that it would make sense for them to have had in canon. Also, no, your character can't have any form of transportation unless it is an animal. You have a convertible, use it. Flying out of here isn't an option.

    If a character wishes to regain an animal, however, it must be an animal and nothing more. Appable animals are a no go as they can be played as humans in game.

    Powers can also be regained. Any earth shattering ones will be dumbed down. Usually, though, if your character has a magical item, ie a wand, they'll gain the wand then the power.

    On the power front, how would vampirism work?
    As everyone starts out as human, they would to. Their vampire powers could be regained as long as they didn't distract from the fact that they were human. Fangs, blood drinking, strength, that's fine. Turning into a bat or something isn't.

    All characters are humanized?
    All characters are humanized.

    So what about body parts that aren't human?
    They're taken away at the beginning of the game and can't be regained. As a bit or irony, the landlord might decide to give an ex-catboy a fake set of ears or a pair of strap on wings to a bird girl.

    I want to be a Puella Magi! How does the soul gem thing work?
    To become as human as possible, their souls would be returned to their body and their soul gems would disappear, but they can be regained if the player wishes them to be.

    Can Pokémon characters regain their Pokémon? Are their moves or how many they can regain capped?
    They sure can! And I don't see a need to put a cap on it since there's not really a lot of chances to get stuff back in the first place. They'd keep their moves too.

    When my character is dropped, where do their regains go? If they come back, can they have them back?
    When it comes to characters that are reapped, they do not get their regains back since all of their items are left when they leave. If someone didn't have plans for these items, it can be retconned that they gave them to someone or put special items somewhere for safe keeping for some reason, etc.

    In the scenario that the character they were given to was dropped, if they had plans for them then that would be where those items were. But if they didn't then the items are in a sort of limbo. It's basically set that if you don't decide what you're doing with a characters item, it disappears, but again, this can be retconned if you talk to a dropped player.

    Intangible things like powers, though not limited to powers, are kept upon a reapp with memories, because it's basically as if they've just been on an extended leave in game; they're the same character upon coming back.

    Characters apped with a clean slate or apped by a different person get to restart on regains.

    What if my character has extra sets of limbs. Do those get taken/Can I get those back?
    Yes, extra sets of limbs will be taken but it is possible to regain with special regain privileges.

    My character has tattoos (tattoos on their inhuman body). What would happen to those?
    They are kept! If a limb or part of the character's body is taken, then the tattoo would be taken, but only then.

    If my character was carrying an item, what happens to it?
    It is taken. They can be regained later!

    My character has a familiar or animal. Can I get them back?
    As long as the creature has no real personality and is considered non-appable, then it can be regained!

    I'm a Homestuck. Anything I should know about? [ shooshpaps ]
    Yes! For Homestuck trolls, their blood will turn boring old red, no matter what. Nonhuman boyparts will be lost and the skin will be changed to a human typical colour (you can decide what race they are and what skin colour they have upon humanizing them). Any other abnormal traits will be humanized, though they can be regained with special coupons.



    My character is sick and/or dying in canon. Does that change?
    Yes. All illnesses have been taken from them. They instead will have a weaker constitution. There is an exception, however, with characters in wheelchairs. Their houses will be modified to accommodate them. Any questions can be addressed below in comment form.

    What about wounds?
    Healing wounds upon entrance applies to those that are life threatening but that are also not permanent. Things that are just like minor cuts, twisted ankles, it's all kept.

    Allergies or asthma?
    Allergies are kept, but asthma will be treated like the taken illness rule states and they will have a weaker constitution, so pretty much treated like allergies too.

    If my character can't speak/read/etc, will they be able to on arrival?
    Nope. All things like that must be learned. Although the house will be fitted to deaf/blind/disabled people once they arrive there and if they leave, the adjustments will disappear. Phones and etc will have braille.

    Documents such as that would be in Braille, and cell phones and houses would be suited to your character's needs disability wise. Braille books and other literature are also available!

    My character has a fake arm or one that's made out of, well, something that's not flesh and bone. Or they're missing one.
    It'd be fitted with a fully functioning prosthetic. Those parts would be replaced with prosthetic ones, so very much robotic in one sense but without all the bells and whistles of their previous ones.

    What about a character that already has a prosthetic or robotic arm?
    If it's a normal prosthetic, it will be kept. Robotic arms will not be.

    My character is missing an eye or more than one.
    Glass eyes will be provided to them, but sight will not be.

    Can characters get sick while in Holly Heights?
    It used to be impossible but after an event, illnesses have been unlocked!

    What about multiple personalities?
    Supernatural multiples like Moka Akashiya or Bakura from Yu-Gi-Oh! can have their other selves regained with their items that make this happen. People that are apped in with actual DID are applicable as is.



    There isn't a INSERT LOCATION HERE in Holly Heights yet, and I don't want to run the place. Can I ask you to make it for me?
    Funny story, actually. It's there, it's just no one knows it is yet. Request to have a store/building/whatever put on the list, and it's yours. The building will become NPC run and then applicable for those who want jobs to work in.

    How do stores get restocked and what do they get stocked with?
    Magic in the middle of the night! Just like most stuff here. Absolutely anything can show up in your store.

    What's the salary of jobs around here?
    If you own the job, it's up to you. If you work for someone, it's up to them. If you work for an NPC, just google a salary and if it sounds good to you, then it's good to me.

    Are unmentionables and unsavorables sold? (ie drugs, sexual things, booze, cigs, etc)
    For cigarettes, alcohol, and sexual paraphernalia, these can all be found in stores! When it comes to drugs, there's no store that sells them, and the only things that can be produced are drugs that require chemicals and other things to make them (meth, etc). So cannabis would require seeds which don't grow here. If your character had some or you can reason they had some at home, you are free to ask for them!

    How easy is it to get ahold of guns or lethal weaponry?
    Easily. If you can find a shop for it, then you can get it! Since they are things that can be sold in stores, there's bound to be a gun shop around. No laws against or for it either. There's practically no laws at all!



    Who can I app and how many?
    Any character with enough canon, and two per app round for a total of five.

    Can I play from webcomics?
    Absolutely, as long as there's enough personality and canon to go off of.

    What about silent protagonists such as the Persona 3/4 leads?
    Sure. Please stick to the canon personality tidbits that are offered, though, and try not to devote too much of your understanding of them to headcanon or supposition.

    My character looks 12 but is actually a gazillion! What slot are they in?
    Adult. The way characters are placed in relation to age is based on how long they've been around. Here are some examples:
    A 90 year old in a 12 year olds body: Adult
    A 12 year old in a 90 year olds body: Child

    What canons can't I app from?
    Vocaloid is the only specific one I can think of (spin offs with canon information don't count; apping a Vocaloid from song verses only is not allowed). As a blanket statement, canons without enough, well, canon...those you can't app from. A webcomic with ten pages or a long series that only has one volume out probably will get you a rejection if that's the canon you're apping from.

    So until someone apps in a woman/man suited to my adult character, there's no one to fill that role for them?
    Nope. Don't try chatting up the NPCs, either. They carry mace and they aren't afraid to use it.

    That's a lie. But really, it's no use talking to them unless it's a conversation in which "Will that be all for you?" or "Please turn off all cell phones." will be beneficial to you.

    My character has a spouse in canon and they app in. Is my character still married to them?
    Yes, and polygamy is illegal and you will be evicted immediately.

    Kidding, kidding! Canon marriages have no standing here. There is a way around it though. No one is telling anyone they have to stay in the house they were given. If your characters in canon love interest does app in, and both parties consent, one of the two can always just ask for a copy of the others key. Or both! Once a character has someone's key that's been landlord given, they can enter and do whatever they wish in the house, though it's not theirs.

    Can I swap spouses if I'm not happy with them?
    It depends. If you just ugh, don't like the character and tch, I'm not feeling this and sigh I just don't like this dynamic, then that's the luck of the draw. Interactions with your spouse can be minimal, but please talk to them about what you can change and how to make the situation comfortable.

    However, if it's because you have bad history or are uncomfortable with the player, then that's perfectly fine. You can be switched. It would be totally sweet if you alerted me in your app as to who you DON'T want to be housed with if you want a random housing assignment.

    For a written history (or history sections in general), what are you looking for?
    Long enough to just give the key points in the person's canon in relation to their character and story line. It doesn't need to be a novel, but if it does need to be then I don't mind! Just write enough to get the basic information across and you should be fine!

    Before I get to work on this, how will the orientation thing affect my app getting accepted or rejected and so on.
    It's more so for us so we can figure out what kind of spouse your character will have. Orientation has no real bearing on whether an app will get accepted or rejected. If the reasoning is outlandish, doesn't make sense, or goes against canon, however, it will 9.9 times out of 10 get revisioned for a proper reasoning and explanation.

    Can I canon update my character?
    Yup. There's a post for that here.

    Can I use samples from sex games (Z, Amat, CWP) or from smut threads?Gore and horror threads? Despicable kinks that my mother would disown me for?
    Yes! I'm over 18 and I've got a iron stomach so show me your worst. Well, not your worst samples. You get it.

    Can I reuse samples from other games?
    Yes!

    I dropped my character, but I want to reapply them. What happens?
    All their memories may be kept. They'll just wake up in the hospital instead of on their lawn. It'll be treated more as a death than a complete loss.

    If someone else has already applied and dropped the character you are applying, you may choose to continue where they left off or completely reset and start anew. The old CR that character had will still remember everything, though.

    Can I app a character from past their death.
    Yes!

    Can I app in characters with memories and CR from other games?
    No and you never will be able to. It has been decided by the community.

    OCs?
    Not yet though it may be discussed again.

    AUs?
    Nope, never ever, sorry.

    Pregnant characters? Can my character get pregnant?
    No. For whatever reason, whatever magic, it's not going to happen. Characters can't be apped during pregnancy either.

    Can I app a character that is only seen in flashbacks? How about apping one that is younger or older than what they are in canon.
    To the first, yes you may as long as they have personality/history. For the second, it's also a yes as long as the canon 1. shows them at this age or you have a good idea of how they would look at this age and 2. the canon explains how they would act at this age.

    In the case of a character who has no name ever given in canon or by word of god, can we give them headcanon names/nicknames to work with?
    Headcanon names are fine! You won't be asked to use them too much, they'll just normally be used for contact list stuff or to be identified for an event.

    With app samples, what all goes toward the sentence count?
    In total means in bracket and out. Of course, sometimes when that still isn't satisfactory, I'll ask for more, but that's usually for talkative or more prominently vocal characters. For the quieter ones, you can get away with more in brackets or all in brackets, as long as it shows you know how to play your character.



    What timezone is the game set in?
    CST. This is the mods timezone and will be used just to keep it easy for me to keep on time and on schedule.

    Can we break the 4th wall?
    Sure. Be sure to check with the player of the character you're about to brainbreak though.

    A player is making me uncomfortable...what do I do?
    Tell a mod right away. There is complete confidentiality and we will do our best to make the situation right again.

    Can I use an account that is part of another roleplay?
    Yes.

    My question isn't answered here.
    1. Read. All. The. Other. Pages. Please. I can't stress this enough. Some information on there is not listed here just so things aren't completely redundant. So many questions have been asked here that have been answered on other pages. Applying into the game, there is a sort of unspoken trust that you actually have read and will be willing to read all information pages. No, you are not expected to remember every little thing, but please check back to them if you are unsure BEFORE coming here.
    2. There are a lot of case by case situations and just little things I've left out! If you've done the above and still can't find the answer, please just comment below.

    10:38 pm - RESERVES
    RESERVES OPEN ➜ FEBRUARY 23RD - 29TH
    this means they close at about 11:59 PM CST on the last day of the month


    RESERVES ARE OPEN
    To reserve, please copy and paste the form below into a comment on this entry. You may reserve up to two characters at a time unless you have four characters already in game (then only one may be reserved and apped in). This post will be comment locked until reserves open. Once you are able to comment, then you may reserve.

    Reserves will last throughout the application period, meaning the most a character can be reserved is two weeks, or until the 8th of the next month. No extensions will be offered. If you decide to drop a reserve, please pm the mod account saying so so another person may apply for that character.

    Challenge apps and reserves will not be allowed. If someone has already reserved your chosen character, you must wait and see if they follow through with their app. If so and they are accepted, I'm sorry. If they do so and they are rejected, you are welcome to app the character yourself.
