Ok, awesome. I am toying with the idea of having my main character, and then my secondary being some sort of a family member that she has come to stay with, probably due to some sort of problem, trouble or misfortune. To be determined what (and who) I stick the poor girl with.

UPDATE: Finally did a thing. Gretchen is up. Doing Greta... soon. :P Then I can move on to actual characters that aren't just front deskmen who give people keys and handle complaints haha. Oh, and probably complain about noise levels too.

@BeeBee2121: Totally not a problem, you could throw in an old con man, heck, you could even throw in a president into a nearby mansion. Tons of possibilities, the trick is finding ones that aren't so out there that they inconvenience other RPers. If you intend to do this retired art thief, make sure his history is extensive and explains thoroughly why and how he got away with it/or is released, how he got into it.... ect. :P No half assed backstory with something like that.

If you write one that seems interesting and wont twist up the plot around him, I think that'd be rather interesting. Perhaps he actually got off free by selling out his partner in crime, and now feels guilty about it? So long as he isn't say, still wanted in several countries and somehow never recognized anywhere I'll be cool with it. :P

@Starwinter: Having pairs is an awesome idea, I have two that I'm considering adding in myself. My only worry is that one is from a rich affluential background and I don't want to be throwing too many characters who are extraordinary into this on my own. Gretchen would also be very tolerant/helpful of anyone with a disability, so it'd be an interesting idea.

@Everyone: 2 may be the minimum, but there's no need to stop there. Feel free to go off the deep end if you like, just be careful not to go past how many you can RP. I also suggest paying attention to the schedule part of the bio for your characters so you don't end up just sitting here waiting for the next day while all of us with night owl characters go at it. :P If anyone asks though, I can PM people when days and nights shift and such so that they don't miss their chance to be active with certain characters. I'll also be regulating time of day slightly, but like any RP time will be a little bit relative.

EDIT(6:22PM): Greta Added.

I definitely like the idea of day and night being regulated. It will keep things moving at a believable pace. Neither of my characters are too extraordinary. I will get their sheets up as soon as I make my way from my iPad to a real lap top.

Okay, I have the Grandmother and Granddaughter who run the dorm both up now, and one character of my own up. I may or may not introduce Tai the first day(if at all tbh, still don't know if he'll fit in a fun way), depending how I feel about it. I'm going to pump out one more profile while I'm on a roll.

I didn't do a heavy proofreading, so if you notice anything off/weird about any of the profiles or have any questions let me know. :)

And yeah. I think I'll regulate by 6 hour intervals, and give people frequent little reminders of about how far through those 6 hours they should be. I'll also probably make a point to specify times during my posts when possible.

EDIT(7:26PM): Shae added. For now, she's going to be the only character I really start with in this RP on the first day. I may change my mind later once I see some of your characters though. :)

2 mininum?? So you can't just have one character???
I think that's a bit much to expect from everyone, especially since it's an advanced RP, maybe just give people open range to have as many characters as they want, but don't make 2 the minimum? I personally don't really want to play two characters, and if I did, I don't really play guys so I feel like I'd be playing two girls and throwing off the character-gender ratio.

Its to encourage realism, but I'll make exceptions for people who don't have time for more than one character. Mostly I don't want people to feel the need for their characters to do something at all times during the RP. Characters sleep, and they also occasionally get tired of interacting with others. Having at least 2 characters reduces the pressure to have one unrealistically involved at all times in the social life of the dorm. If you only make one then odds are somewhat high that there'll be a point in the RP where you'll be forced into a break while either the nightbird characters play, or the early risers do their things.

Also, don't even worry about keeping track of how many females and males there are. The only reason to do that would be if everyone was doing this RP to have their characters hook up, and even if they were, why not have homosexual pairings as well? Dynamics where one gender outnumber the other can actually be interesting, so don't feel guilty if you only really like to RP girls or guys or whatever.

EDIT(11:56am): Quick note, can people give me like the timeframe on when they would have called Greta asking for a room? Just realizing we're going to need to think of whos rooms are next to whos. :P Just do it when you send a profile in.

Also, to the two who already sent one in, so long as there are no issues I'll add it after my 8 hour I'm leaving for right now, later tonight.

EDIT(9:13pm): I swear you guys, you reply one day, gone the next, back the next. Works out since I had a shift today though. :) I have 3 profiles in my inbox pending a few minor changes and then I'll add them. You can feel free to post profiles here or send them to my PM box, depending whether you want the hounds of the thread commenting on it too lol. Please feel free to critique already accepted profiles too, including my own. I mean, especially my own, if something sounds weird in any way please let me know.

Also I kind of love you all <3 Like not in a romantic way but more in a woohooo Rping on a forum again you guys are awesome way. :3 I'll love you slightly more than the rest if you comment on the profiles I've posted here in the thread.

Just making a new post to show that I added characters, since I guess that's somewhat important. Beebee2121's characters Wes Thayer and Ericka Parker have been added to the front page.

EDIT: 2 people so far have given CS's with pictures in the appearance slot. Please write a written description. If you have a reference picture, please hotlink it in a sentence of the appearance, do not insert it as an actual picture please.

OK. One more question.

Can i start off with only one character? I typically get lost if I start off with two characters. I'd bring in another eventually, but as of now I can only really do one or my writing and focus will suffer.

I'm not going be a participant in this RP. I've tried to come up with two characters, and I just can't come up with ones that I really care about or would be comfortable playing long term.

I wish you all good luck and hope you all enjoy it.

Peace.

@FrozenEcstacy: Well, the RP is starting with everyone beginning to move into the dorms. You can delay one for the first day, or several days if need be. I just want people to have characters that may be active while other characters of theirs are sleeping and ect.

@MST3K 4ever: That's a shame. :( Feel free to join in later if anyone pops into your head!!!

@FrozenEcstacy: I swear I should have some questions here but after reading that, I don't really have any. Oh, I guess specify your characters sexuality in romance/sexual whatever for simplicity. I trust that anyone in this RP will be able to resist abusing the fore-knowledge of any character in this RP's sexuality. Even if he's joining far later, please make a profile for Dallas too. I intend to accept Martin, but I want to read a profile from someone he knows(since you plan on dragging him in at some point anyways it sounds like) before I do just to make sure there's no other questions or anything I want to iron out for his profile.

Let me know if you have any questions yourself.
