Now with a Discord!


With a violent fireball, the Earth ends. Then, you wake up yesterday... again.


This is a four-to-five person roleplay. The goal is to figure out what's making time loop, why only a few of you can remember why time is looping, what causes the apocalypse, and how to stop any of the above.




Mechanics:

Every twenty posts (that is, at the start of every page), the Earth blows up, time resets, and it's yesterday again.
  • No cramming several posts into one giant mega-post.
  • You will die many times.
  • So will everyone else.
Finally, if there's something that seems like your character should know, but you the player doesn't know, ask it in OOC. The OOC is your space to talk about the game, talk about your group's plans, discuss theories, decide what to do, get info, and (obviously) ask questions about mechanics or anything else you might not be sure of. If you need to know what the heck Simmons Lab looks like so you can write your post, hit me up in the OOC and I'll let you know.

I plan for the worldbuilding to be pretty collaborative, so if you think there ought to be, for instance, a bait-and-tackle place named Bubba's, then there's a bait-and-tackle place named Bubba's.

And, seriously, don't hesitate to ask questions in the OOC.

Setting:

It is modern day United States.

You live in the small town (pop. ~10,000) of Seneca Glen in New York State. The town is built around a single Main Street. There are few side streets with houses, an elementary school, a police/fire/mayor's office, and whatever other buildings you might expect to see in a small town. The main employers are: Simmons Lab - a federal arboreal research laboratory; Melakron Plastics - a manufacturing plant for medical devices; and Hayt General store, a moderately-sized department store that sells everything: guns, gas, cheetos and t-shirts. Aside from that, Seneca Glen is close to Seneca Lake, a popular tourist destination. Seneca Lake is well known for its many wineries as well as hiking and water sports.

If you'd like inspiration, I recommend looking at Corning, NY or Watkins Glen, NY. Alternatively, you can poke around any of the many other small towns near Seneca Lake to get a feel for it.



Please note that this is a small town, so likely everyone knows everyone else. Definitely everyone knows someone whose brother knows everyone else.

Rules:


0. Site rules apply.
1. Don't break the game.
-Aside from general roleplay etiquette (don't godmod, no Mary Sues, etc), please let people know if you need a break, decided to leave, or real life is rearing its ugly head.
-If you have an issue with another player, please take it up in PM's, not the OOC.
2. I have final say if anything weird happens that isn't covered by rules 0 and 1.

Applying/Character Sheet:

Fill out this sheet and post it in the OOC. When I approve you, post the sheet in the characters tab.

The following fields are required:
[u]Name:[/u]
[u]Gender:[/u]
[u]Age (roughly):[/u]
[u]Job:[/u]
[u]Special Skills:[/u]
[u]Relationship to Other Party Members:[/u]


Special Skills -> Are you pretty good at firing a gun? Can you read the land? Are you actually very smart?
Relationship to Other Party Members: -> Obviously you'll need to talk to the other players to come up with this. Everyone knows everyone in this town; the party members especially so.

The rest of these fields are optional. If you want to create fields of your own, or leave out ones I've suggested here, feel free! It's your character sheet.
[u]Bio:[/u]
[u]Appearance/Picture:[/u]
[u]Theme Song:[/u]
[u]Where You Start the Day:[/u]
[u]Secret Mission:[/u]
[u]Flavor:[/u]
[u]Genre:[/u]

It looks good! Obviously, you still need a relationship, but that has to wait for other players.

Incidentally, I'm glad to be introduced to The Theorist. I like piano covers!

@Jasper19 Yes, still accepting! The goal is four or five players, but I don't mind starting with six or seven. Attrition will get us down to the right numbers.

Conveniently, if a player needs to drop out, their character can just forget that they're in a time loop.

@The One Well, Jenny is 20, but I don't see why you can't go older or younger. Probably... 14-65?

@Jasper19 I'd appreciate it if you put a little more effort into your character sheet. For instance, your bio is one long, run-on sentence. It also seems short and rushed.

@Typical Either way works for me; as long as the idea of your character gets across. I do use discord! Here, I'll make us a room.

@Jasper19 Thank you, that's much improved. You're accepted!

@Typical


Accepted!

The obvious thing we still need to figure out are relationships. Family is out, since you all have different last names. I suppose you can always change that, though.

@Jasper19 Sure I'd be open to it! The band is probably going to be very lowkey though, considering it's a group of high school/college friends. On a side note, do you have a Discord? I had a few thoughts as to Tony's dynamic in the band.
