[h1][b][color=6B8E23]Story of Seasons: Greener Pastures[/color][/b][/h1][i]A Harvest Moon & Story of Seasons Role-Play[/i]
[h2][B]the PLOT[/B][/h2]At night while you dream you hear a voice telling you about a place. It doesn't give you much to go off of, but the voice is warm and soothing, and is familiar. It isn't until a few dreams in that the voice tells you her name. She calls herself the Harvest Goddess little by little she gives you details on the place she is talking about. She describes to you the endless possibilities that you can have if you find this place. The first thing you have to do is help the town thrive and become the happy place it used to be. She tells you where it is and how to get there, giving you a chance to help save [b][color=FFD700]HOPE VALLEY[/color][/b].
[h2][B]the TOWN[/B][/h2][b][color=FFD700]HOPE VALLEY[/color][/b] used to be a thriving place. They were known for trading and were a popular place for families to grow together. The village and town itself is being held together by the young mayor, Chester Weston. He succeeded after his father, whom retired after Chester had graduated college five years ago.

Chester is trying to re-populate the area by giving outsiders a chance to come into the town and take over a few of the local shops, farms, restaurants, and ranches, in hopes to breathe new life into the dying town. He wants and hopes for bigger and brighter things for [b][color=FFD700]HOPE VALLEY[/color][/b] because he wants to make sure his daughter has a place to call home when she grows up.

([b]DISCLAIMER:[/b] I am using the map of Castanet, but it fits into what I would want [b][color=FFD700]HOPE VALLEY[/color][/b] to look like)
[hider=MAP OF HOPE VALLEY][center][img]http://hmap-cdn.fogu.com/world_map.jpg[/img][/center]
[b]A:[/b] Flower Park is located in the center of the valley. It is the one and only park that the valley has, being made up of a flower garden and playground on top of a hill. At the bottom of the hill lies the local beach, Sunset Beach, and fishing hot spot, the Docks.

[b]B:[/b] Weston Town is the thriving and popping place of the valley. It is a port town which gives access to travelers and tourists alike and is often a pit stop for those who are traveling to the tropical islands off shore. Weston Town is named after the founding father of the Valley, Norbert Weston the III.
The local shops include clothing boutiques, dance and photography studios, the town hall, an inn, two restaurants and cafes, a school, a clinic and many other places.

[b]C:[/b] Hope Valley Church is through the plaza of the town and up on a hill beside it. It is where local weddings and festivals are held. The church is open daily, though it isn't as used as it use to be.

[b]D:[/b] King's District is where most of the industrial shops are. There you can find the local carpenter and his journeymen, along with inventors, blacksmiths, and jewelers. The King's District is also at the base of King's Rock, the local mining cavern and mountain of the valley.

[b]E:[/b] Goddess' Spring is where it is said the Harvest Goddess sleeps. There are many paths that lead to the spring, but usually are never around when you want it to. The paths leading to the spring often show up to those who the goddess wants to see.

[b]F:[/b] Evergreen Forest is where the local carpenters work. Wild animals are known to thrive within the spooky woods and it is also a favorite spot for the local teens to hang out in. You can easily get lost in the maze of shrubs and trees. It is also said that an evil witch or wizard lives deep within the forest looking for unsuspecting villagers to travel deep enough to use for their experiments.

[b]G & H:[/b] The Farmlands is where most of the farms of the valley are located. There are many plots of land that help with farming and ranching, as it is the most nutrient-rich part of the island.

[b]I:[/b] King's Peak is the top of the mountain. It is a popular spot to see the sunrise and sunset, and is the local honeymoon spot. It is also said that if you go up high enough, the fabled Harvest King will reach down and bestow you with all the luck and riches of the world, but that's only a local townstale.[/hider][h2][B]the RULES[/B][/h2][list]
[*] Follow the general rules that have been laid out by Guild.
[*] For this role-play I am looking for people who want to grow together. It also means this isn't first come first serve if people want to have the same position. We'll see which character best fits and then if the other wants to work something out we can.
[*] Lengths of post are mid to high casual, meaning I want at least two paragraphs. Paragraph sizes are preferably three to four sentences each.
[*] Grammar should be great, I don't need perfection. Everyone is on different levels when it comes to this, I know I make mistakes so you don't have to be perfect either. Just make sure you know how to edit your work if need be! We want to have fun, but we want to understand what you're trying to say too.
[*] The OOC is for out-of-character chat where you can mention other things that aren't relevant to the RP or that are, it's also a place to get to know one another as writers OUTSIDE of the Role-Play.
