[OOC] Stuck in a Dating Sim!

[Major Ursa]

Welcome to Stuck in a Dating Sim!

-----

Two people picked up the newest dating sim, with the intentions of...well...play it! Of course, as the title suggests, they find themselves in the dating sim after some amount of time play, and replaying...and find themselves inside the game’s actual world, at the start of the game. Initially, they’re just confused as to why they’re waking up in an unfamiliar place, but then recognition dawns. Oh...

Are they excited? Scared? Did they play the game to completion before getting stuck here? Did they read a game guide? How will their off-script reactions and responses change the character’s reactions and responses? How will it change the world? Will they find a way out? Will they find a place in this world? Will they get the girl or guy? This is their, and their many love interest’s, story.

Game Start

You were born in Patina city, a shining star in both magic and technology, during some rather dark times...at four, you would leave just before its fall to corruption and crime.

No one would have imagined you’d be returning.

But, certain circumstances have changed...

...bustling streets, dim alleyways...

...escaped fairies, clockwork canines...

Gangs and gears, drugs and deception, magic and murder...will the sun rise for you, who lives in this dark city?

...

Gender?
Male | Female

...

Name?


...

Surname?
Hunter – Both of your parents worked as bounty hunters, back in the day, but their work as mercenaries even further back…well…they’ve done some terrible things in the past, as some long standing witnesses have testified to. Only five years ago were they put to rest for their crimes, though, you’ve always believe in their innocence. This year, after the death of your great aunt, you’ve save enough of your own hard earned money to come to Patina city to gather this evidence.
-Affiliated with bounty hunters. Bonus with any socializations towards bounty hunters.
-Connected with the current head of the mercenaries. They've arranged for you to have a dingy apartment you can stay in for a month. Your door doesn't lock, but everyone in the apartment is a mercenary told to have your back during your stay. Protected in the apartment, temporary bonus with any socializations towards mercenaries during your stay.
-Infamy with some lawful folk.
-Bonus in offensive magic or skill of your choosing.
Skinner – Simply put, your parents were part of a cult once huge in Patina city. You were destined to rejoin this cult, and grow it.
-Choose a blessing.
-Choose a curse.
-Choose an alignment.
-Bonus is learning older forms of magic.
Carver – Murdered. Your mother, a famous songstress and socialite, was found dead when you were only three…they caught the man responsible, but, it’s always colored the way you’re seen the world since then. After all, this happened before the uptick in crime in this city…you’ve returned to sort out and fight for some things of interest in a deceased relative’s will.
-Your temporary residence is some old family estate, which you will share with some distant family during your stay. Hot meals, baths, and soft beds.
-Slight bonus to intelligence, wisdom, and perception...as well as a bonus in technology or charisma.
-If charisma is chosen, bonus with any socializations with high class citizens of Patina city.
-Your happiness is harder to increase or decrease, and so is everyone else's
-Class Unlocked: Magical Hymnist.
Tanner – Raised in an average enough family, they were lucky enough to leave the city for the countryside, just as the going went tough...it's interesting, being back in the big city again.
-Better bonus in luck.
-Bonus in animal taming and gardening or in strength.
-If bonus in animal taming and gardening is chosen, there is also an increase of possibly encountering the 'Back-alley Reaper'?
-Living parents have helped pay for the room your rent at a boarding house.
Walker – Child of the Harvey Walker, the last great officer of the law before Patina city went to the dogs…people remember how great of a man he was, and you plan to bring back his legacy in full force.
-Lawful Good alignment to start.
-Hard mode.
-The city remembers your father! Bonus in all respect and reputation.

[Cuccoruler]

I am willing to make a female player character if anyone wants me to

[Major Ursa]

Do eet!

[Cuccoruler]

shouldn't there be more people here?

[Major Ursa]

Eh, it's been a slow week.

[Cuccoruler]

It is close to finals week after all, I just spent about 2 hours working on a paper that is due to tomorrow XD

What fun College is!

Also showing that just the ooc is active does help to promote the RP a bit more

Trust me I'm an advertising major

[Cuccoruler]

So any ideas on where to start once we get going?

[TalijaKey]

collage can be so busy.

But my finals are end of Dec and pretty much whole Jan.

hopefully people will get some more free time to jump in. XD
*helping with showing a active ooc*

[Major Ursa]

I'd say Skinner starts off visiting the city's cathedral, if only to scope out the competition, and then Rita jumps a bit at the realization that they're in the game...hmm...should probably put that into a collab post.

[Cuccoruler]

might not be a bad idea for later yeah
