[h3][color=3386ff]What this is[/color][/h3]

To cut a long story short, this is a slice-of-life RP set in a fictional town in ~2013 Scotland. Having spent a long while taking part in heavier plot-based RPs, and not seeing any pure slice-of-life roleplays in the Advanced section, I thought I'd try my own hand at putting together a more relaxed setting. If you're looking for an epic world-shattering plot it's not likely to happen here, but if you're hoping for a relaxed RP with a heavy focus on character interaction, development, and relationships, then you've come to the right place.

So, with that out of the way:

Drumvar is the type of place that most would call a hidden gem - a large-ish town halfway up the West Coast of Scotland, it often finds itself overlooked in the face of Glasgow's bustle and activity or Edinburgh's historical charm. However, for those that take the time to look, it quickly becomes clear that the town has an appeal all its own, drawing in people from all walks of life with an array of diverse - if perhaps slightly unrefined - attractions.

The community is a fairly mixed bag thanks to the town's rich cultural and historical heritage, though the majority of the population tend to be on the younger side thanks to the large student population. Once you get further away from the college and university, however, there's a fair bit of variety when it comes to who you might run into. Like anywhere else, there are richer and poorer areas, though most of them are fairly safe to wander around regardless. Violent crime rates are fairly low, although drug-related offences have been increasing over recent years.

As for entertainment, the town has a semi-decent nightlife, and a fair variety of pubs and clubs on offer. In the daytime, the local cinema occasionally has something decent to offer, and sports clubs range from tennis to rugby to soccer. On the three days a year when it isn't cloudy or freezing, the beach is always available, and the beachfront is littered with restaurants, arcades, and stalls deigned to sell cheap tat to the occasional visitor.

If you head a little further inland, the ruins of Drumvar Castle draw many people's interest, the hills are an attractive and intimidating prospect for many a hiker, and the moors provide as much peace and quiet as anyone could ever need. The concert hall is a little too small for any major artists to bother visiting, but an occasional performance by a local band or school choir often manage to fill it up to an extent.

Many of the town's residents find themselves attending the local college or university, both institutions with an impressive historical pedigree and an impressive variety of courses available - one of the main factors that can attract new faces to the town. How the rest of the town feels about that tends to vary somewhat.

At the end of the day, whether you're a history enthusiast eager to explore the ruins of a once-intimidating tower, a student pursuing their education at the local university, a businessman looking to make a fresh start, or just someone searching for a quiet life by the seaside, Drumvar provides something for whatever path you're looking to follow.

[color=yourcolorhere][h3]Personality:[/h3][/color] A couple of paragraphs describing who your character is - what do they like and dislike, how do they react to others, what little quirks help them stand out - all that good stuff.

[color=yourcolorhere][h3]History:[/h3][/color] Did they grow up in Drumvar or somewhere else? A few paragraphs detailing where they came from, what brought them here, what they've been doing with themselves since arriving, etc.

[hider=Rules]
Basically the same rules as you usually see, but it's better safe than sorry.

[list][*]No metagaming. If your character doesn't know something, don't have them behave as if they do.


[*]No one-liners, please. I don't want or expect every post to break the scrollbar, but try and have at least a few paragraphs and some decent detail for people to react to.


[*]In the same vein, if you're having a character interaction, try and collaborate on a single post instead of having a whole page of back-and-forth, it's a lot more practical and better for my sanity.


[*]Feel free to have romance with other characters, but if you're going full-on smut (or anything above pg-13) keep that to PMs or a separate document and don't post it in the RP proper.


[*]Try and post fairly regularly. One post every week would be ideal, but I'm happy to give people some leeway - just keep me updated if you're busy with other stuff or disappearing for a long while!
 
 
[*]Lastly, just don't be a dick to people. If there's something seriously bugging you, tell me and/or a co-gm and we'll do our best to sort it out.[/list][/hider]
