Shine City Zero


We are back to bring it all back to the start! Shine City Zero is set 5 years before Shine City (Season 1) So this means a perfect start if you are totally new to the City of Shine, or if you are returning you can have fun backtracking the lore to start something new in the 'past'!

For those of you new to Shine City, its an open freeform slice of life/romance RP where young single people come to socialise and find friendships, dating and ultimately love in the beautiful and ever growing shine city.

For reference here are the previous seasons.

Shine City I
Shine City II
Shine City III
Shine City IV
Shine city is the largest city in Shine County, a fictional land that is based on Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom to some degree where your character will work and live day by day (depending on time skips) and interact with the other inhabitants. The 'Plot' of the RP is mainly decided by the characters as it's open to flow with the current events, this is a HUGE social RP so we want as many characters as possible for this iteration of Shine City.



What You Can Expect


• You don’t need to have been a part of season 1 or 2 or 3 to jump right into season 0! Don’t be scared to join our cast of players just because you’ve never played with us before. Help us keep this sea stocked with plenty of fish!

• This is going to be a high casual to low advanced roleplay, which means you will be expected to give well written posts with a three paragraph minimum. This doesn't mean you have to write flawlessly, we all misspell a word every now and again, but no one should have to struggle to make sense of your post.

• This is an anime roleplay, so we are going to be using anime for our appearance pictures. No real life please!

• 1 character each, but you may have additional 'side characters' in the RP once you clear it with one of the GMs

• This game is very character driven! The Shine City GMs have created a lovely town for you to play in, so go forth and make your own story! The city will hold the occasional event (like an author having a book signing or a carnival) so we can get many of the characters in one place for a bigger chance to mingle and the GM will impose time skips as he sees fit, but other than that you are free to explore the town and play however you want.

•You will probably find love! ...and maybe a little heartache. It’s a fact of any romance roleplay that characters will fall in and out of love and one character may even betray another one (steal their man, sabotage a job interview, cheating, etcetera etcetera). It is important for you to know that while the Shine City staff ( @Delta44,and myself) love us some good IC drama, we do not enjoy it when it carries over to the OOC. Please be kind and respectful of your fellow players and always remember that the character and their creator are two separate entities.

Character Sheet Template

Name: (Full, please!)
Age: (18-35)
Appearance: (anime picture, please!)

Dislikes:
Party Trick:
Profession:

Theme Song: This one isn't an actual requirement, but we think it’d be fun if you added it anyways. ^.^

You are more than welcome to customize and add to your character sheet, as long as you make sure you meet the basic requirements laid out here. Make it as unique or as uniform as you’d like!

But please put it under a hider for us, so we don’t clog up the thread.

Town Locations


Here is a list of Shine City's different locations that your character can explore/work at! We’re always updating it based off player demand, so check back often!



...And I think that's it! Please let us know if you’re interested in playing with us this season and feel free to ask questions if you need something clarified or need help with a character sheet.

Thank you for stopping by~!

The Prequel is here 5 years in the past!
You can have younger versions of your previous characters or better yet have someone completely new!

To be fair, I'm still apologetic over what happened between Shizuka and Nick Weston, and would like some sort of resolution and/or closure, but since this is a prequel, I'm going with a new character.

"What's my favorite fish? The clownfish. Why? It's a s-e-c-r-e-t~!"

Name: Michel Montmartre
Age: 18
Appearance:
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 121lbs
Likes:
  • Fishes and all manner of sea life
  • Pastries
  • Video games
  • Comic books/Cartoons
  • Manga/Anime
  • Science/Technology
  • Computers
Dislikes:
  • Societal pressure
  • Being judged
  • Harm to the environment
Party Trick:
Michel has animal magnetism, that is, animals, even wild animals, are naturally attracted to Michel and are more docile in his presence. He's basically a Disney princess.
Profession:
Michel works at Shine Aquarium as a maintenance technician, making sure the tanks receive the proper oxygen and are at the right temperature, as well as simpler tasks like replacing bulbs, making sure the PA system works, etc.
Bio/Personality:
Michel was born and raised in Shine City to a struggling, lower middle class single mother. Michel was never a stand-out individual, always doing mediocre-to-average at best in his school work. He did have a passion for science and the sea, though he never became great at it. Due to being slightly socially awkward, Michel believed that he was more interested in 'things' than in people, but as it turns out, Michel actually cares deeply about the way people feel, he just has a hard time solving people problems. At home, he spent most of his time on his computer, teaching himself a little about computer maintenance, a little about coding, and a little about setting up a network. During summers, he worked at an internship at the Aquarium putting the skills he'd learned to practical use. Upon graduating high school, and having not been accepted to Shine City Academy, the only place he applied to, he was able to turn his internship into a full-time position. He decided to stay in Shine City to take care of his aging mother. Halfway through high school, Michel had come out as bisexual, with a slight male preference. While his mother was fine with it, school became a little awkward, and being an introvert, closing himself off came naturally. While not exactly scarred or broken by any means, Michel yearns for social interactions, and tries his best to just be that cheerful, happy, helpful (and slightly effeminate) person he wishes everyone could be.

@Stern Algorithm Nick is only 15 here so I guess dating isn't really on his mind, however he does have a cool auntie this time around!

And your Boku No Pico Uke young Michael is approved!

Hey, I was intending to make my character a cyber security analyst, and work at Fenton's office, but I don't know if it has that sort of department. Since it's a pretty small office to me, I guess not, but I figure that I should ask you first. If not, then I intend to make him a Federal Government's worker, which is pretty much a fancy title, nothing else.

@Conscripts Well Fenton's office is pretty much a one man operation, plus he's on a bit of a budget with the way he has been spending his money.

There isnt really a 'federal government' in Shine County, I've sort of left the authority structure kind of vague on purpose. But maybe you can make some sort of dashing interpol agent or a mysterious spy if thats the aesthetic you are aiming for.

Well, I'll just leave his profession to be 'Government's Cyber Security Analyst'. I won't go any deeper into the government thing, and I won't be intending to develop his story that way. I just want a reasonable backstory, with a connection to his pretty contrasting personality. The furthest I may go is probably adding his workplace. I'm not good at making CSes, so if I wrote anything that doesn't suit your taste or missed anything, I'll make the necessary adjustment ASAP.

Kinda wanted to give my old character another shot even though this is a prequel, so I rewrote some things on her character sheet (I didn't really develop her a whole lot in the other RPs, so I'm basically restarting her whole character).

@GarlandDaHero maybe a different picture? only because its a little garish and its Corrin? (i think) everything else is fine.

@Conscripts The CS looks fine, but I'd prefer if you didn't add a workplace because then I would need to introduce a federal building into the county. Maybe have him work from home, or keep his workplace relatively obscure. Everything else seems cool though.

@Jay Kalton Ooh I missed her, approved!

I like how similar but at the same time different our characters are.

#baristabuddies

Heck, even their party tricks are kinda similar. It'll be fun to see how the two interact~

Yup, it is Corrin. If a different picture is mandatory, I'll go ahead and grab one, but I'd prefer to keep the one I'm using currently.

Yes I'd ask for a different picture of someone not so immediately recognisable, thanks.
