[indent]Hi.

For those of you who have been in our RPs in the past, you might know that we met in the reboot of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/131833-closed/ic]Beverly Hills High[/url], a roleplay GM’d by [@HushedWhispers]. This roleplay had vibrant characters that we, to this day, reminiscence about. We consistently reference the roleplay, and most of the original cast refer to it as some of their best writing. Unfortunately, that RP met some resistance due to a few events, both in and out of character, leading to an untimely close.

This roleplay was near and dear to our hearts; it’s really the reason we formed our friendship, and from the remnants of BHHS2 rose a few different things, including Wanderlust, which is a labor of love built by [@Lovely Complex] and [@Universorum], and while that solo project scratched the itch for a while, we eventually wanted to come back to group roleplay. We approached our mutual friend [@Silent Observer] about this, and we opened our first roleplay together under the SUP name, [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/155092-closed-free-pass-has-been-rebooted/ic]Free Pass[/url]. We’ve since rebooted it once, and tried different genres, including an experimental dip into a mission based system, [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/158316-grand-theft-auto-the-syndicate/ic]The Syndicate[/url], a foray into a super-power based RP, [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/160941-closed-formally-the-coalition/ic]The Coalition[/url], and a surprisingly successful professional wrestling roleplay, [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/162321-awe-american-wrestling-entertainment/ic]AWE[/url]. We always go back to our main genre, slice-of-life, with our summer camp based roleplay, [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/163692-closed-formally-aces-high/ic]Aces High[/url] being overwhelmingly popular. Some things stick, others don’t. As a group, we’ve hosted six roleplays together, this will be our seventh. I know I can say with complete confidence that my co-admins and I are incredibly proud of what we’ve created. Despite some of our RPs not reaching the lengths we’d hoped, we look back on them not as failures, but as successes. We’ve learned from each adventure, and applied that to the next.

If you’ve read this far, you clearly care about us to some extent, so thanks for that.

Throughout all of our roleplays, we’ve built what we like to affectionately refer to as the ‘SUPverse.’ We have a consistent running universe that spans across all of our roleplays. We’re very happy to stage our universe to you, letting you add to it as you please. Everything ties together, and to us, that’s beautiful. This roleplay will be a continuation, and a culmination of sorts, of what we’ve built so far. Taking place sometime after the year 2017 in our SUPverse, this roleplay will focus on the next generation of characters from our universe. Despite the futuristic aspect, we’re not making this roleplay sci-fi — the focus will be on the characters and their growth as they go through their final time in high school, and begin to tackle being adults.

We’re excited to offer the opportunity to our cowriters from Beverly Hills High the chance to see their characters through, and we’re also excited to welcome more people to our group.

As of writing this, it has been 1 year, 1 month, and 1 day since the release of Free Pass. We’ve been privileged to write with some wonderful people, to make friends with others, and to laugh, cry, and smile with you all. I’d like to personally extend a thank you to the core crew, the people who have participated in almost every roleplay we’ve put on. To celebrate our anniversary as a team, we want to celebrate our origins: Beverly Hills High. It’s been an honor to write with all of you, and welcome to our newest production:

Beverly Hills High: A SUP Production.

Much like its original iteration, this roleplay will be character driven; there is no overarching plot. You’ll play teenagers living in Beverly Hills and the surrounding area; Los Angeles county is your sandbox, and you’re free to build and play in it as you like. There will be parties, there will be classes, football games, dances. You choose to go to them or to stay away. You’ll build relationships with characters, or you’ll be antisocial. We’ll never pressure you one way or the other.

Have fun, and thank you again, for helping us create something beautiful.[/indent]
