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.
