New York City, center of the universe.

The year is 1990; the place, the East Village of Manhattan, NY. The AIDS epidemic is at its peak. Homosexuality is seen as a death sentence. Drug addiction festers. The “cyber age” threatens the classic arts. Poverty is rampant, and a tent city has sprung up in an empty lot. The housing for those who can afford it is industrial, decrepit, and has few utilities. And yet, here a community of painters, writers, performers, musicians, and dreamers thrives. In a once lovely studio building is where some of our characters find themselves, struggling with the lack of heat and electricity, and living their decrepit lives the only way they know how; without regret.

This is La Vie Bohème, The Bohemian Life.


The Here and Now






RULES

Basic RPG rules, no PPing, godmodding, or anything of that sort
I expect well written, diverse characters, no Mary Sues pls
Currently looking for a co-GM, if you're interested in that position please ask!
Make sure you have proper grammar and spelling. This is advanced after all.
Have fun and all that jazz.

This is a sandbox-style, slice-of-life game, based heavily on the musical RENT. Story can and will be implemented, though this game is heavily character driven. If you have any ideas for a story arc then please, let me know!

Both characters were added to the first post. I'll start the game if we can get one or two more people in here (:

I've been a tad busy lately, but I'll be able to have a character sheet up by tonight or tomorrow. Out of curiosity, how often will you be expecting posts, Liriia? It might help put all of us on the same page if we knew. Plus, some people prefer faster paced RPs while others prefer slower ones, so finding an in-between might be helpful :)

Sorry for the wait. I hope you're all having a good weekend.

I expect this to be rather slow paced, perhaps one or two IC posts would be good for now (as the bare minimum at least). To make sure you're all still around, though, id like it if you kept the OOC just as lively with two to three posts a week. I hope everyone is okay with that (:

And as for the first IC post, I'll start working on that once you finish up your character, Sonder.

Anyways, good morning, I just woke up and am in a rather fantastic mood. How's everyone doing?

That sounds good to me, though the next week is finals week, so I might have to ask for an exception when that happens. But I'll make sure to keep everyone updated through the OOC (if my characters get accepted), I definitely understand that communication is key.

It's great to hear that you're starting the day happy :). I'm doing alright, I just finished my first character.

The second one should be up in an hour or two.

Of course, if any of you are having IRL troubles just let me know and we'll work something out for your characters while you're away. Also, please realize I have rehearsal nearly everyday until the end of February so I may not be able to post as often as I like myself.

Also also; we should start discussing character relations. So: who wants to be an initial part of the group and who wants to be a new be? If you are in the group than what would you like your relationship to be with the other members ect. Ect.

Both sheets are finished :)!

If they're acceptable, It'd be fitting if Joseph were new to the group. He just ran away from home recently, so he hasn't been in Alphabet City for long.

Need to know where Missi and Alex stand soon, Haggis and Beebee. Also need to know if you two are making any other characters. 0;

Thank you! And Liz would've been living in Alphabet city for 2-3 years now, so that sounds perfect.

Alsooo *drops some music in* it's nice to meet you all. I look forward to RPing with everyone ^^

I've been debating on making another character, but I'm not sure who and whether or not they'll be in Alex's band. Do we care about the girl-to-guy ratio here?

I had the idea that Alex lived in the same building as Kaya and Kimbal. He's lived in Alphabet City for two years.

Girl-to-guy ratio does not matter. Alex living in the same building as the other two is perfectly fine, they'll probably be acquainted or closer friends if you'd like that.

Anyway, I'm working on the opening post now. Somewhat distracted so it may not be very good but w/e

Mississippi has lived on Avenue B for a while. I might come up with a second character later to move in if we're feeling short on numbers ^^

Yeah, Alex probably likes Kaya pretty well since they're both musical. And he probably goes to Kimbal to help him translate his lyrics since he usually starts by writing them in Russian.

I've made up my mind about my second character. I'll have a sheet up shortly.

Shiloh is looking good, though I'm expecting a super good reason for his PTSD. Accepted~ Everyone is free to post when they please (:

Also, for inspiration sake, have the entire RENT soundtrack. It flows nicely, I hope you guys enjoy it
