This roleplay is currently ACCEPTING





Interest Check | Character Bin

A relative's death is always sad.... But is it really? What if you barely knew the relative? What if you were able to gain billions of dollars from their death? Is their death still sad to you?
"Congratulations! You've been selected to participate in The Inheritance Games! By taking part in The Inheritance Game, you have the chance to inherit the massive Lovelle fortune..."

Many people have that one relative that's rich, you're not exception to this. Granted, you probably don't know him that well. You've heard rumors about him, saw him in the family pictures, and maybe you've even met him once or twice, but the point is, you're not close. Christopher Lovelle was always a mysterious man in the family, and wasn't the most popular. The only thing most people in the family knew about him was that he was a billionaire with no immediate family. He was known as eccentric, strange, and nobody in the family really wanted to be close to him. Which is why it stunned you when you received a letter informing you of his death. Why would you get notice of his death?

And why are you eligible to receive his entire inheritance?

Whatever the case, intrigued by the inheritance, you decide to participate in The Inheritance Game.

What awaits you is a series of puzzles that you must solve, and to win the inheritance, you must be the first to figure out the final answer. But of course, you're not alone. Competing with the members of your own family, you must navigate this game of greed, false relationships and distrust to outsmart everyone else. Who will you trust? Who will you abandon? Will greed win over your moral compass?

Let The Inheritance Game begin....

Roleplay Rules
  • Swearing is allowed, but keep it in moderation.
  • Characters cannot be a direct descendant of Christopher Lovelle because he doesn't have children.
  • No godmodding. Period.
  • Absolutely no Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. Characters must be flawed!
  • This is a high casual roleplay so please post a minimum of two paragraphs. While length is nice, quality over quantity! Do your best, I love reading people's writing!
  • Please use good grammar. Although I'm not a grammar nazi, I would very much prefer good grammar that makes things easy to read. Too many grammar mistakes distract from the writing.
  • Please try to post at least once every three days.
  • I am your benevolent goddess... In this roleplay, at least. Listen to me, as my word is LAW! Yeah!
  • Murder and death will be strictly prohibited in this roleplay. Acts of sabotage will be allowed in moderation.
  • Use common sense and courtesy. No fighting in the OOC! We're all friends here.
  • If you're going to be gone for an extended period of time, or you want to drop, please just tell me!
  • You're allowed to discuss puzzles and clues in the OOC, but any knowledge gained in the OOC does not translate into IC knowledge. Please please please please PLEASE no metagaming!
  • Say something in the OOC at least once in a while! I like to get to know who I roleplay with, I'm sure others do too.

The Inheritance Game Rules
  • Everyone will receive puzzles. The goal will be to collect as many clues as possible to solve the puzzles and figure out who the "answer" is. The winner will receive the inheritance.
  • The "answer" will be a person among the contestants. The players' goal will be to figure out who the "answer" is.
  • Everyone is going to work in assigned pairs. Although cooperation is okay, you will not gain any additional money for lending aid to anyone.
  • You must live on the Lovelle Estate during the game.
  • People must come up with their answer and reasoning by the deadline.
  • If no one gives the correct answer, the "answer" will receive the inheritance. Therefore, the goal of the "answer" will be to confuse the others and try to get them to guess wrong.

The Inheritance Game system


Character Information
For your character sheet, please be detailed! Especially in the personality section, don’t just list off adjectives. Go into detail. Also, it would be much appreciated if you could underline, bolden, or do something to the CS skeleton to make it easier to read.

Once your character has been approved, go ahead and post it to the Character Bin. Please do not post in the character bin unless you have been accepted. The character bin is for accepted characters only, applications should be done in the OOC.



The "Answer"
The answer has NOT been chosen yet! If you would like your character to become the answer, you're more than welcome to apply for that position. In order to do that, you must have that character accepted beforehand. Once your character has been accepted, please fill out the following form and PM it to me. I will select an answer based on what I believe would fit into this roleplay. Applying to be the "answer" doesn't guarantee you that position, but I will definitely consider it.

Families
This is most definitely optional! But if you would like your characters to have a prior relationship before this game (Like a family, or a something like that) Please just post this in the OOC: [Character name] is seeking a [family member title]. You know like, Bob is seeking a daughter. Mary is seeking a spouse. Stuff like that. I'll put all of that up here, so we'll know who wants to be in a family or something!

This OOC is a work in progress! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Yay!

Name: Nanashi Marice

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Appearance:

He stands around 5'0, small guy who is skinny with long a bit messy black hair. Bangs hanging over his eyes that reach to his nose, brushed over to the sides. Tanned skin, with bright blue eyes. Usually wearing a pair of blue jeans, a white t shirt and a black baggy hoodie and black tennis shoes.

Relation to Christopher Lovelle: Great Adopted Nephew

Occupation: Student

Immediate family members: Sickly father

Personality: Nanashi is more of a quiet sort of person who doesn't talk to others unless he needed to. He doesn't like people and usually tries to avoid them, spending most of his time reading or playing with animals. He's bit of a wild child, preferring the outdoors and doing things like climbing trees, playing in the creek, racing dogs in the woods and such. He can be a bit aggressive to those he doesn't likes, but he does have a kind heart, willing to listen to others. Although, he does lack a bit of common sense and knowledge when it comes to social skill.

Biography: Nanashi was adopted from a orphanage, too difficult to handle to be adopted. He doesn't remember his time before he was placed in a orphanage, but they say he was just found wandering the streets. Jace Marice adopted him at the age of six, though had many problems. Living in the woods, Nanashi tended to just leave the house and play somewhere outside. Coming back utterly filthy, and resisting any attempts in dealing with his family. Which could lead to biting, scratching, kicking, or whatever else he could do to get away. This was a very common occurrence when trying to get him in the bath.

Despite best efforts, no one seemed able to tame the wild child, but Jace never gave up even when everyone else said he should. A patient man, he allowed the child to run around outside, coaxing him with food and forcing the child into baths. The poor father came out with quite a bit of battle wounds, but he treated Nanashi just like a son. Eventually, Nanashi calmed and got close to his father, coming back home in time for supper and doing a little better in what he was told.

At the age of ten, he was even brought to a family get together. He didn't really talk to many people, but he was still interested. These were the people who were his family, a kind family. He met a elderly man he remembered was somewhere part his family, who asked him some odd questions. In which he answered honestly. The elder asked what he thought of money. Nanashi simply replied, 'Why would I want money? It's just funny smelling cut down trees. Trees smell way better.' And earned a slight chuckle.

Miscellaneous: He has a fear of bathrooms. He's participating in this event simply to pay for his fathers surgery.

Baah I hate real pics but here it is xD

Sorry then, I will have to drop out. I can't really fix my sentences, they will happen. I don't have much time to correct them all through the phone (I wouldn't mind if it was on a computer, but on a phone it's just plain annoying to add anything and ruins the fun for me.)

But thank you for your time :D

And yeah, just every time I see a real pic, I keep thinking "stupid or egotistical asshole" xD gifs are perhaps the only good thing.

Thar you go, Miso Soup, your lovely Butler. <3

Also, I have a format for gifs that I can put into the CS, since I know you apparently love the way I arrange and display CSes thematically. ;P If you feel the need to use it for this RP, I won't shy away myself. But, I'd rather not overwhelm the masses with an ass ton of gifs, if it's unwanted or something of that nature. I don't wanna use it if you think it's too... ostentatious.

Oooh a butler :O go ahead and bin him and stuffs.

And I don't really mind either way, really. Gifs, no gifs both have merits and demerits. Is that even the right word? But maybe throw the character into a hider XD

As long as it's not bloodline related. I think. Or was it direct descendant. I don't know the difference. I've never had to learn what's what and what's up and down about family trees. @_@ So, you know, I'm stupid.

Never mind, I found the difference. As long as it's not linear, as in he was your character's father, grandfather, great grandpappy. Cousin, Uncle, Cousin's Brother's Uncle Twice Removed—are all game, though. Or something of that capacity, as long as the term or suffix -father is not in the whereabouts of the title. Er... o_o

And I'm positive you can have more than one, but I would just post one until Miso responds. I'm assuming yes, since you can play spouses to characters related to Lovelle or children of other characters or something crazy like that. Lol.

My character is a guiding force, since I'm not one for competition. I don't like it, but I'll be helping Miso move the plot forward and keep players interacting. ^^ Maybe. Probably. Something of that sort.

I'm hooked, and shall start working on a character sheet :3 Not sure how long it will take me, could take an hour, could take two or three days, haha. I'll drop in on the OOC from time to time so you guys don't forget about me.

Also, Sixsmith, loving The Office gif's! I ship Jim and Pam so much. I wish I never finished the show, I wanted it to last forever :( lol

Aw, thank ya. <3 Jim and Pam are my spiritual guides (Charlie Bradbury is my Spirit Animal, doe. Dunno if there's a difference). I didn't want it to end either. Funny thing about me and romances. Where people get tired after the couple gets together and the show continues without troubles on their end (or minimal troubles or minimal coverage on their troubles) I enjoy the happy fluffiness, especially when it came to Jim and Pam. Of course, my heart was so torn up when they had issues near the end of the show. ;_; I cried so much when Jim gave Pam that video. Omg. I'M TEARING UP NOW. I also cried when Michael left and when Michael proposed to Holly and when Jim proposed to Pam. ;_; I'm so emotional. I need a tissue now. THANKS. /sarcasm *le wink*

Also the sig changes every time you refresh. Some of the gifs are just Jim-centric, since he was the first TV show crush I'd developed. <3 I still love him to death and John Krasinski cause he is adorable and so is his wife, Emily Blunt, and their babeh, Hazel. Why did I suddenly remember their baby's name? Sorry, I'm a creep. >_>

First thing first. My first language isnt English. So some of my grammar and at times word order will be messed up. I am happy if you explain the mistakes so I can try to fix them up.
Like that I may not have some of the common american knowledge that was mentioned in the first post. But I do have some. Just not too much of it ^^ I am always willing to learn.
Another thing, when I am brain storm for a character it can get worse XP

I didn't mean to make you cry again D: haha awh. Everything was so heartwarming but the only time I legitimately shed a tear was when Eren was reunited with her parents, ugh haha so precious. I also jumped when Michael showed up unexpectedly on the last episode. Do you know why he left the show? I was so sad.

Also, all hail King Dwight, muahaha

I'm assuming Miso has her hands tied wth school and all that good stuff , but if you want to dish out a wife for him, I don't think she'd be opposed to the idea. :)

Also, Steve Carell only signed a 7 season/year contract to stay on the office. When people sign onto shows as leads that's usually it. They're obligated to work within the parameters of their contract so finding things outside of the show that's fits in the schedule is tricky business. Carell was most likely getting a lot of offers for movies while acting in The Office and when his contract was over, he decided to pursue those instead of continuing two more seasons under a new contract. It's a sad he wanted to go, but shows can constrict and limit what you do, so I understand his desire to leave once the contract was up.
