Retro Slice of Life


Welcome to our newest Slice of Life RP in set in hot DELTA CITY, loosely based on Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL in the late 1980's.

If you enjoy Slice of Life and want a COMMITTED and PROVEN to last roleplay, then this is the game you have been looking for. We have a vested group of players and GM staff that genuinely enjoy the genre that would love to welcome you into the world we have created. We have plans for new regular events and for an over-arching plot line that will allow players freedom to grow and expand with us and our fun environment. You will find again, that our game is unlike any other that you have encountered here on the Guild.

Players here are encouraged to suggest an idea or submit a new location for our MAP. We invite players to add to the world their own ideas and concepts so that we continually expand. We were so fortunate in our original Slice of Life game, SOL CITY to capture enough hearts and imaginations over the course of three chapters, that we are setting off on a new and unique journey for our FOURTH SLICE OF LIFE game which will be the best one yet; learning from what worked well in over 2000 posts of Slice of Life role play.

Fear not! You needn’t have read a single page of SOL CITY to freely participate in this current game. DELTA CITY is an entirely new concept taking place far before the events of Sol City. Some returning players might recognize a blurb or catch a casual reference here or there, but this game is meant to be a fresh and separate experience for all players.

W E L C O M E


DELTA CITY is the largest city on the US Gulf Coast in our fictitious universe, taking the place of the Tampa Bay area, the surrounding geography and parts west western Florida during the latter 1980's. Neon light, pastel pallets and sun-soaked clearwater beaches await the young and bold alike. The "Peculiar Paradise" is a mix of Spanish architecture, South-American influences, Native-American culture and southern hospitality.

So explore enjoy, start anew and make your mark. The city awaits…




The Rules

Not scary don't worry


RULES

1. Observe standard RPing rules. No godmoding, no-metagaming, stay in character, and stay within the storyline. If you want to make any major changes to the story, ask us first. Be polite to the other members. You know the drill.

2. Write in third person, past tense. Try to make your writing coherent and legible. Although there's no official word requirement, avoid one-liners when possible.
2b. Move the plot when you post! This is a “slice-of-life” RP, but please try and focus on forwarding the story with every post you make. We don’t want every other post here to be your characters leisurely having tea or monotonously deciding on what clothes to wear. We have a very dynamic world here that you can use to develop your characters.
2c. Interacting solely with your own NPC or secondary PC is not allowed. It's far more fun writing with someone than yourself for you and all the other players.

3. You are not your character. Your character is not you. Please don't be offended because someone else's character was mean to yours. Likewise, please do not carry real-life arguments into the RPG world. This applies to RPG Guild, Discord and any other platforms that may be used.

4. Primary character images need to be in an anime-style. Also no crossovers and no Mary/Gary Sue, please.

5. Try not to let anyone get left behind. If you and another person have posted back and forth several times, take a break and let the other players catch up. Of course, there may be times when only a few characters need to be involved in a particular scene; just don't get two days ahead of someone without giving them the chance to respond.

6. Stay active! Everyone gets busy from time to time, but if you’re going to be absent for a while just let us know. There’s no set amount of time allowed for before we start working around dormant players, but if you leave and stay gone without telling us, we’ll move on as we see fit and the plot will roll on without you. If you wish to come back after being naughty, we’ll talk.
6b. I'm waiting for the next skip!. This is rather unhelpful and it saps momentum from the game. If possible, ask in the OOC, Discord or PM and try not to just be stuck waiting for a time or event that suits your tastes, particularly when there are other players around who might enjoy writing with you. Of course we understand some situations do resolve faster than others, but the goal here is for maximum player interaction and FUN.

7. This game is rated PG-13+, so just about anything goes as far as language, violence, sex, etc. However, you will need to observe standard Guild rules should you feel that your posting is headed in this direction. Please read the Moderator posts concerning these topics.

8. Second characters are allowed. You have to be an active player and both male and female are allowed. You cannot RP with yourself, PERIOD. Please PM or Tag a GM or Co GM to confirm things if you have any questions regarding this and genders allowed at the time. WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS CLOSELY.

9. If you want to use our setting to carry on a 1x1 with another player, then we need to know about it. This is so other players don't waste time trying to pointlessly engage your characters. We are going to be very discerning in allowing this and if you and another player appear to be pursuing this route without letting the staff and other players know, both will be kindly asked to leave.

10. Anachronisms- The setting for this time period is in the 1980s. Cellphones are rare, computers perform basic functions and are very expensive- people's lives were much more localized in general. There is no way we could name and moderate every aspect of the setting, however you will definitely need to keep this in the forefront of your writing as the social landscape during this time was much different. If you wanted to talk to someone, you had to meet them face to face and get a phone number or go visit. No texting, no internet, no next-day delivery and television stations typically “signed-off” programming after the late night news. We’re not going to shake the fist at every little thing, but glaring inaccuracies will kill the setting and bring about other continuity problems. The purpose of doing this game in this time period was that it would be a different and fun experience.

11. Obviously this isn’t going to cover everything, so the GM and Co-GM’s reserve the right to make decisions as situations arise.

In general the RP is using a permissive rule system, as long as events are not too likely to effect other players or alter the dynamics of the RP heavily. These actions do not require permission.

Events are rough backdrops and scenes and open to player interpretation within reason. If you are unsure about the application, PM a GM or Co GM to make sure, and consult with those player or players who may be effected before hand. If a secret or surprise action this is permissible via PM or discord etc.

This is to maximize creative options and make it open and easy to join and take part in RP.

Thank you for reading the rules! Hope you have fun RPing with us!

Current gender balance

0 male : 0 female

Please consider this when planning a new character.

Actor or Actress/Public Figure who would play your Character in a movie (Optional, we just think it can better help get an idea of your Character. We have found that players often "combine" the actor image with their header image to get a good mental picture of your character. *This does not have to be restricted by time period, you can choose a modern actor*. )

(Reference images to plot elements, or for helping to describe a character are allowed. Please make these in hiders, real life, anime or drawn etc are allowed in this case.)

The following personal bio is not required (though CS Section 2 IS required), but we strongly encourage you to at least put a little something. In the past we have found that when players get to know each other as real people, not just as names on a screen, it helps the longevity of the game. Seriously, please get to know your fellow players.

*Your age:
*What part of the world are you from?
*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: (if you're on your first year, that's totally fine too)
*How often do you have time to post? (this is just a general, honest question, no judgment)
*Anything else you want to mention? What you do for a living? How much do you work a week? What do you enjoy doing besides writing? Put as much as you want.

"These are the things that make a good story great and good writers even greater."

CS section 2 - Player Interaction Scale


Very Simple: Are you, as a PLAYER more a solo/small group poster or would you consider yourself a social butterfly open for anything?

Choose a number from 1-5 telling us where you would rate yourself in the above criteria. ONE being the least interactive and FIVE being the most.

There is no wrong answer so please be honest. It helps us as GM Staff work out the best way to support our players and plan events that will appeal to everyone.

Resources and Notes


This section is just a short collection of links and thoughts that we think might be helpful and are not required viewing/reading. The point of the game is to embrace the era and have fun. In many ways the world was a better place during the time. Here's a few links to get you started and we'll add to this as we go:

Really good, short summary video:


VH1's year by year (very detailed pop culture focus)









To get the most out of the decade without too much influence from the 70's or the burgeoning 90's. We have chosen the current setting to be SUMMER, 1988- more details on that to follow in posting prompts.

L I K E S

Metal
Metal to Leo is metal. He doesn't bother with the fifty five thousand sub genres of metal. There are obviously bands and sub genres he dislikes, but he doesn't view the people who like them as any less of a metal fan.

Socialising
Whether it is sitting around chatting or taking in a movie, Sully likes to spend time with those he cares about.

Hiking
The fresh air, the exercise, the freedom. It all appeals to Sully.

Camping
Nothing like taking in the night sky with nothing but a roaring fire and good friends.

Food
His frame hides his hearty appetite and love of food.

Beer
Regularly found at a bar on the weekends, Leo enjoys a drink.

Gaming
Growing up with a console from almost every generation, Leo loves gaming. In the last few years he has taken more interest in table top games. This has expanded to a Tuesday night board game club in his bar.

Gigs
The only thing better than metal is live metal!

Horror Films
He has a wide taste when it comes to movies but if he could only have one genre it would definitely be horror.

Sport
Being British Leo has a love for football and rugby. Since moving to the US he has found himself becoming more interested in American Football.

D I S L I K E S

Bullies
He does not tolerate bullies and isn't afraid to stand up to them.

Drug Users
Unfortunately Leo has seen his fair share of overdoses growing up and has no interest in seeing any more.

Smoking
He has never understood why people do it.

Politics
Every politician is corrupt and has a price.

Pop Music
Pretty people with averages voices who don't write their own music. He has much more respect for other genres of music.

Z O D I A C S I G N

Scorpio

A P P E A R A N C E


S P E C I A L T A L E N T

Extremely Talented Musician
Leo is capable of playing most instruments as well as singing in a variety of styles. He can listen to a song once and effectively play it back on a guitar or piano with ease.

P R O F E S S I O N

Owns a Metal Themed Bar.
Who wouldn't want to own a bar?

A S S E T S

House in Western Shore
One of the larger houses of Western Shore, it is fully detached with a large garden, hot tub and a garage below ground level that doubles as a basement.

Nissan GTR
With a fair amount of disposable income available he treated himself to this lovely piece of Japanese engineering.

Club Aether
The number 1 metal bar in the City. It earns him enough money that he doesn't actually have to work.

F A M I L Y

Parents | Nigel and Mary
Back in the UK, they keep regular contact with Leo.

Brother | Alex
Leo's younger brother who visits him at least once a year. Still lives in the UK.

Rufus
Leo's German Shepherd is on the larger size for it's breed, which can make him intimidating for those who don't know him. He is one of the friendliest dogs you could hope to meet.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Leo is very much a people person, willing to talk to whoever is willing to listen. He likes to laugh and joke but has no qualms about being someones shoulder to cry on. Compassion is strong within Leo and his loyalty to his friends is second to none. He is strong willed, verging on stubborn at times, but will always do whatever he can to help his friends. He regularly stands up to bullies sometimes to his own detriment.

Adventure is a big part of his philosophy and is part of the reason why he spends alot of time hiking and camping. He loves the peace and solace that nature brings, using it to break up what is often a very loud life as the owner of a bar.

H I S T O R Y

A standard upbringing for Leo left him with plenty of fond memories and built him into the person he is today. He loves life and has always tended to lean towards adventure rather than the comfort of home. That is how, when at the age of eighteen, he made his way across the Atlantic and make Sol City his home. Having a fairly strong Welsh accent rather than the generic English that the movies portray meant that many times early on he was mistaken for being German, South African and Swedish to name a few. He always laughed it off and would offer to explain where he was from should anyone ask.

His first bout of employment saw him working several bartending jobs throughout the week, enough to keep the food on the table and a roof above his head. He spent little beyond bills and rent, saving as much as he could. As the years rolled by the numbers in his bank account began to grow until he finally had the money to enact his plan. Moving to Sol City was no accident, Sully found that the biggest bands in metal would always stop there on tour. The support for metal was pretty big in the city and that is what drew him there. With enough money saved he bought a property and set about opening a heavy metal bar.

Doubling as a bar and nightclub, The Aether was a big hit with the metal scene and draws big crowds on the weekend. The aesthetic and design was created by his brother and is part of the reason why the place is a big hit. Competitive pricing and friendly staff also help, but there is something about the place that keeps people coming back for more.

Most recently he has been able to take a step back from running the bar day to day after hiring a bar manager. Instead he simply lives of a percentage of the profits which allows him to have a comfortable existence. Often he'll find himself in the bar himself for the company and will help out where necessary. Even with the success he has had, he still feels as if he is missing something or someone important in his life. He tried the dating scene for a while but with no success, finding many of the women interested more in his money than in him as a person.

F A V O U R I T E S O N G

His favourite song changes regularly, but there is often a core set of five songs that he will always go back to.

Crossfaith / Omen
Growing up listening to Prodigy meant he lost his mind when he first heard this.

Fleshgod Apocalypse / The Fool
Something about the almost classical nature of the song appeals to him.

Shadow of Intent / The Heretic Prevails
One of his favourite bands at the moment.

Whitechapel / The Saw Is The Law
What he would call a neck snapper.

Within The Ruins / Feeding Frenzy
Is a little obsessed with the guitarist.

M O V I E A C T O R

Luke Evans
More for the accent than anything else.

Zodiac Sign: Gemini

Special Talent: Legendary Alcohol Tolerance

Profession: Mechanic/Owner Apex Designs, a small, single-door garage, tucked away on the industrial Southside end of town with enough room for about three cars inside.

Bio/Personality:
Joel is a man who views himself as someone not necessarily doing what they want to do in life, but doing what they're good at. He enjoys repairing the automotive woes of many of Sol City’s wealthy clientele. However, even though his work is considered some of the best in the city, he’s often equally known for his lengthy vacations and costly invoices. Additionally armed with a business degree that he earned off of an only briefly offered scholarship in his youth, he very carefully balances work, play and sometimes outright laziness. He keeps no set schedule and can be found in his shop sometimes at the most bizarre of hours.

Outwardly, Joel has a very arrogant aura that often turns off others. He’s been told that he’s “unapproachable” and though he likes the thought of being intimidating, sometimes he does feel a genuine desire to have deeper conversations. He enjoys flirting and being in some social venues, but often feels bored and out of place. He doesn’t consider himself extroverted. Interestingly, he tends to talk non-stop while working on vehicles and has his own crowd of conversational regulars, often the bored and retired older men of the city, that stop by just to see what he’s working on.

Joel is very aware of his eccentricities and has a warped sense of justice. He enjoys watching people that may have wronged him or refused his advice “get what they deserve” to the point of comedy. He likes that some may look down on him for his chosen profession, but at the same time wishes he was doing something else. He’s never satisfied for very long.

Joel in Chapter One:
Joel continued to his eccentric and reclusive lifestyle throughout most of Chapter One only making brief appearances on the outskirts of major city events when his pathway unfortunately crossed with the regular citizens of Sol. Joel spent the vast majority of his bizarre schedule preparing his custom-built Nissan 300ZX for the Sol City Grand Prix. A project which he also used as a convenient excuse to not participate in major events such as the Winter Party and downtown Jazz Night despite the encouragement of his friends. Only after being forced to take a detour off the outer loop one night after being chased by the police for speeding did he happen to meet Marinalia “Marlin” Olympus at the Old Cargo Airport where he and his business partner, Tommy Lomax, kept many of their imports from Asia in the Daedalus Airlines warehouse.

As chance would have it, Joel would again encounter Marlin at the same airport as he and the team rolled out the car for testing on a rented area of the facility. Unbeknownst to Joel, Tommy for some time and effort arranged sponsorship of the car with Marlin’s family to give the team a publicity boost for the upcoming race. As part of the agreement, the car would “race” a sleek air-racer piloted by Marlin for exhibition. Furious at being kept in the dark over the agreement, Joel at first wanted nothing to do with the show, but after watching Tommy lose to the plane, he took the wheel and won in a quick rematch much to the chagrin of some of Marlin’s wealthy family who turned out for the demonstration. A bit of a rivalry and tense friendship began to grow between Joel and Marlin.

The Grand Prix weekend put the team in the spotlight as other teams and cars descended from around the world for the final race of the Formula GT season on the streets of Sol and after a hard-fought race, Joel and Tommy managed to best their arch rivals from the factory Nissan team and win the Grand Prix after three years of trying. Joel was instantly elevated to national fame in the days following the race however, the drama following the race was more than he could bear starting with his falling out with Marlin’s snooty family at the Olympus Heavy Industries Victory Gala. After leaving the party to step outside, he encountered a drunken Siobhan Murphy and a flirtatious friendship was formed. He made an agreement to modernize Siobhan’s derelict, inherited Corvette after he returned from a business trip to Japan.

Chapter Two sees Joel returning from Tokyo after a two week hiatus from Sol where he claimed his share of a secret wager made with Nissan before the race. Fame has changed him little and looks to continue his eccentric business only out desire rather than necessity.

What part of the world are you from?: VA, USA
How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: Around 17
How often do you have time to post?: Usually 2-3 times per week, maybe more depending on my work schedule/other things.
Anything else you want to mention?:
I actually work a pretty cool job, but it does demand a lot of time out of me sometimes. I'm married and have three kids. Roleplay/Writing is one of my few surviving hobbies in adulthood next to working out and reading a book occasionally. I usually only have time to write one game at a time here on the Guild so this is it for now. I'm going to my level best to make sure its a winner. I try to take care of my players, so if you're reading this and thinking about joining, we'll be glad to have you.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

Special Talent: Taught herself how to count cards in Blackjack

Profession: Deputy US Marshall, newly assigned to Sol City District

Bio/Personality:
Paige comes from a stone-cold conservative family from Delta City in Central Florida. Her father being a minister and her mother a lawyer and a judge, she was imprinted with an immense sense of morality since she was old enough to comprehend the meaning of discipline. To her the value of one’s word is akin to a blood oath even to the most trivial of arrangements: Give her a statement and she expects the truth. Make an appointment and you damn well better show up on time. She takes her job extremely seriously, but has mellowed some in her years of experience- a sharp edge that has been weathered to deal with the streets. She's learned how to deftly walk the lines between justice, proof and truth knowing the difference in being a law-enforcement officer and lawman (or woman).

Currently, Paige finds herself transferred to the Sol City district where a combined effort between Customs, ATF and the Marshal Service are being prepared for a large operation to counter the importation of drugs and weapons into the city. Paige was selected as she recently participated in an ongoing identical operation in her Florida home district. However, her transfer was amid some controversy. After lengthy investigations and multiple arrests, Paige shot dead a well-connected weapons dealer in a sting operation. A man that could have provided further information to aid in the operation were he allowed to be interrogated. He was known to have participated and set up multiple hits against officers and witnesses alike as well as being point on multiple overseas weapons deals. While many were privately happy to hear of his termination, it was decided that Paige had to be transferred rather than punished. Sol City was a natural choice.

The exact details of the encounter are known by Paige alone as she encountered the man without backup. In her testimony of the events, she simply stated that he pulled a gun on her and she fired in self-defense. There were no witnesses.

Paige in Chapter One:

Paige entered Sol City on a quiet Wednesday night after a long flight in from her hometown of Delta City, Florida as part of a Federal taskforce reluctantly brought in by Sol's mayor to clean up the growing criminal enterprises in the city. The night of her arrival proved to be the only quiet night for Sol City since her landing as she proceeded to deftly hand out her near vigilante form of law-enforcement towards the more unscrupulous residents. In her brief time in Sol she has made serious waves in the underground taking down sleazy members of Sol's most notorious gang, the infamous (and richly protected) Jazz Night attacker and the mafia gun dealer, Jackie Costa.

However, Paige's growing relationship with her former friend turned enemy, Milo Ventri, has been the focus of her private life since their tense reunion at the Winter Party. Her initial disdain for him turned slowly as she discovered his unsettling connections with a Detroit-based mob racket that nearly cost him his life. With Paige's help, Milo was able to break from the hold of the mob and in doing so the two began feeling a growing sense of belonging to one another in spite of their past and shared relationship with Milo's former love, Ana Harlow.

Milo's freedom came at high cost though. In the days following her capture of Jackie Costa, a mob assassin nearly killed Paige in her apartment leaving her badly beaten before she managed to dispatch him. Chapter One of Sol City ended with Paige in Sol Memorial Hospital recovering from her injuries. In Chapter Two, Paige will be back on the streets with her own score to settle against those that came after her and anyone else that gets in her way.

Milo Ventri


Name: Milo Ventri
Age: 29
Appearance:


Height: 6'0"

Weight: 200

Likes: Drinking, smoking, seafood, big band and swing, Hema (historical european martial arts), Smithing, fishing, boating.

Dislikes: Gambling, shouting unnecessarily, pop music and those that love it, kendo, computers.

Zodiac Sign: Taurus

Special Talent: despite his age he is a skilled longswordsman, as well as a somewhat accomplished blacksmith.

Profession: Milo is an old world Blacksmith by trade, he works out of a small workshop that he owns and lives in The Old Harbor part of the city.

Bio/Personality: As a child, Milo was entrenched in the world of iron. His family, living in a large steel producing city, were all part of the industry and so he was constantly exposed to the sights, but he chose to take a different approach, he chose to be a Blacksmith. Fantasizing about knights in armor, warriors clashing swords, he began to forge blades, and soon he began to use them. Milo soon began making a name for himself in his city on the tournament circuit, and with every win, new customers followed after seeing his own blades used in competition. This was surely the life he wanted and the one he was going to lead, all until he was involved in a car accident. With his leg badly damaged there was little hope of competition, but he could still practice and fight to an extent, the doctors all gave him hope that maybe someday, maybe he could compete.
Milo soon fell into a deep depression and began to drink heavily, but soon he was given a gift, a small workshop on the dockside of Sol city, his dream home, a new beginning, and maybe and solid chance to come back from his injury, a chance to make his name relevant again.

Milo tends to be a stubborn mule when it comes to most things, however, when he has been drinking you can get him to bend with a smile and a kind word, though be prepared for payback for taking advantage of him when he sobers up. Milo is very competitive and will fight to the bitter end with no sign of quitting even when he starts losing, now made more intense ever since pulling out of his depression, now that state is the fire that drives him.

Milo in Chapter One:
Milo began chapter one a couple months after opening his ironworks, the final round armory, he quickly found himself in a whirlwind romance with Miss Victoria Romus, one that was ill fated from the start. his time in Sol quickly started to become sour as Paige Kennedy arrived in town, their previous rivalry causing the two of them to butt heads from time to time until the knowledge that Milo had dug himself deeper into a mess with a mafia family caused him to accept the help of his old friend. As the two planned the capture of Jackie Costa, Milo began to remember why they had been friends in the first place, and without his ex there between them, could see even more.
Following the triumphant capture, Milo found a sense of freedom, and a strong pull towards Paige, they both seemed to feel it, however it wouldn't be until a hitman attempts to take Paige's life that either one would begin to show it, Milo stayed with Paige in the hospital, and through an accident, managed to finally cut his ties to the past that still held him down.
Following Paige's recovery and return to work, Milo plans to get his business back in order, possibly become a licensed gunsmith, however he won't forget what Jackie and his people did, and he won't be allowing it a second time.
