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.

Of course, specific events will be happening, and there should always be something going on for you to deal with - generally these events and the time between them will operate on a timer, and each one will provide you with a decent amount of time to interact with people and sort stuff out. I'm not going to force people together though, so players will have to take a certain amount of initiative when it comes to seeking out interaction.

For now, the story starts in late September; uni's just started again, the winter cold's just starting to set in, and the local harvest festival's soon scheduled to begin.

So, with that out of the way:



๐’ฏ๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐’ฏ๐‘œ๐“Œ๐“ƒ


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.

You're free to change things around with the sheets for aesthetics and whatnot, but try and keep to the overall structure.






Discord link will be PM'd to accepted players once I've got it properly set up.

So, that's the OOC posted! Slightly earlier than expected, but I didn't have much else to do today. As always, feel free to PM me or Snag with any questions/ideas you may have, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Been a while since I've been in an RP, but this seems like a good one to start back up with. I'll get a CS up ASAP.

While I'll need to confirm with Las, due to the nature of the RP (pure Slice of Life) I can't see us having a player limit and will probably even allow two characters per person.

We'll look over your CS soon as she gets around to... getting around.

@Hippo Looks good, accepted!

And to everyone else: Snag's right on the character limit & possibility of second characters later. Thanks to the nature of the RP, I'm not going to be looking at a solid player limit unless the roster reaches ridiculous levels.

@mercenarius Hey! Most of that's fine, there's just one thing we'd like changing if that's alright.

'Unable to fluently speak the local language and without a steady source of income, Annest decided that her best course of action was to head back to the UK.'

Long story short, English is required schooling in Germany, and you wouldn't struggle to find people who spoke it in Berlin. Not having a steady source of income is still a good enough reason to head home, so if you just remove the part about not speaking the language from the start of that sentence it'll be fine.

Once that's done, you're accepted!

All the currently accepted players should have Discord links to the server as of now.

While joining the server won't be strictly required, most people on RPGuild do use it, and you're likely to miss out on a lot of OOC interaction otherwise.

Yes, we are, and probably won't close admissions unless we get an absolutely ridiculous number of players.

We'll probably start the RP sometime this weekend regardless of how many more characters get submitted.

@alexfangtalon@Discontent@Fabricant451@baraquiel Checking to see if you guys that expressed interest are still planning on making characters or not. If you are, then just give me a heads up so I know you're working on it.

And on that note, if anyone already accepted wants to make a second character then I'd also appreciate it if you let me know.
