So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D O A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month or even your year

Most groups of friends die out once they graduate college. Now that they're adults, people go their separate ways. They change, they make new friends. That's how it works for most groups of friends. However, this is not one of those stories.
This is the story of a group of friends who live in Chicago. Now graduated from college, they're still extremely close (even if some of them have incredibly different interests, lifestyles, and might even pick at each other a lot of the time). It was a stretch and could have been something that would have been along the lines of disastrous, but the group of friends are moving into an apartment complex together, sharing apartments in groups of two.
Their adult life, their friendships, and everything in-between will change, that's for sure. After all, it's a group of incredibly different ethnicities, sexualities, lifestyles, and personalities. Will their so-called unbreakable bonds survive? Will romance blossom between any of them? Will they survive each other and the entire stress of being thrown out into the adult world?
Well, time will tell.

Rules and such:
1. The minimum characters I'm looking for in this RP is six, just like Friends itself. There currently isn't a maximum, but over twelve and it might feel cramped. We'll see how this works out.
2. Stay committed. I'm not going to exactly enforce a minimum reply schedule for now, but if you disappear for like a week or two without giving proper warning, I'll most likely PM you asking if you still want part of this and give you the option to have your character move out of the apartments and/or out of Chicago.
3. I'd like a simple one paragraph minimum per post. No maximum, so you don't have to worry too much.
4. Please wait for two other people to post after your last post before you post again. I wouldn't want everyone to feel like two of the friends are kinda taking over. It's an ensemble RP after all!
5. Keep it PG-13. Swearing can stay the same as regular Friends/adult sitcom fare. Anything regarding sexual intimacy fades out or goes to PM's, if you would.
6. A lot of things done in this RP will be decided through us all brainstorming up plots together as time passes in the apartment complex. So a lot of OOC interaction will be necessary.
7. Drama's fine IC. Let's be civil OOC. I'll give two warnings on OOC drama. If I have to give a third one, I'm afraid that I'll have to write your character out of the story politely (them moving away from the others).
8. Do not post the relationship sheet until all characters are accepted. However, you may work on it as more characters are accepted. After all, you'll most likely be writing it 5-7 times!
9. Feel free to start establishing each characters's bonds in the OOC. This will make filling out the relationship sheets and figuring out how each character feels about the others in the best way possible.
10. Have fun! Not really a rule, but this is meant to be definitely a fun time. If you have any questions, always feel free to ask.
