Sugar Pine Village


As a part of a new economy-growth program which encourages small towns and villages to be as self-sustaining as possible, the government has organized a group of 100 volunteers settle in the abandoned Sugar Pine Village. The village was abandoned during the last economic collapse, and never grew to become more than a couple of shops and houses. As a part of the program, the town itself will receive substantial tax breaks for the promising local output of natural mineral resources in the nearby mountains.

On the other hand, the town itself is largely cut off from the technological world, receiving neither internet nor cell service. A lone, outdated television sits in the corner of the bar in the Green Leaf Lodge, and the only telephone in town, aside from the mayor's, sits on the bar's counter. Roads are made of dirt or cobblestone, and the fire department consists of a well and buckets. There's potential for these things to be improved over time, but at the cost of the government's own desire to interfere with the village. There are a few cars that can travel to and from the nearest town, picking up supplies and dropping off the town's exports, so there's no fear of the town becoming stranded.

Still, it is clear that in order for this village to work, everyone will need to do their part to help Sugar Pine Village succeed as a community. The mayor has appointed those necessary for general infrastructure: a sheriff, a chief physician, and an overseer for the mines, but a town of abandoned storefronts and uncultivated farmland awaits.

Welcome


This is, as the title says, a Harvest Moon inspired RP. The idea of beginning with an empty town is meant to allow players to choose where they want their characters to fit into that town. Essentially, you can choose whatever you want your character's profession to be, within reason (for example, the town doesn't need two bakeries, but two farms or animal ranches would certainly be useful). Your character doesn't necessarily need to be a specialist, if you want them to be the person who cleans up the bar after closing time, feel free, perhaps they can work their way up or remain content with the simple task of cleaning. Further, they might not work at all, but stick around town until they find their calling or just lay about all day and sleep under the bridge. Don't get too hung up on professions, just know that there's options and I'm going to be okay with pretty much any reasonable request.

Further Information








Application


Fill the character template out as you see fit!

It's first come, first serve in regards to certain professions, like owning a particular kind of store.



Finally, Harvest Moon is a lighthearted game. There shouldn't be any violence between townsfolk, especially between characters, unless it's relevant and agreed upon by both players (or between player and GM in the event of an NPC being assaulted). Romance and swearing are fine, just don't go overboard.

You know what I think this needs?

A Shrine Maiden of some sort. Possibly also a fox, that hangs out at the shrine, but weirdly you never seem to see the two together.

@zellected Accepted! Moving your character to the character's page, feel free to post a copy of it there yourself if you want to keep it updated!

@Bai Suzhen Hmm, I could incorporate a Shrine Maiden, or if someone wanted to rp such a character, I'd have no issues with that.

Is someone going to make an inn? I'm not really offering, it's just that the character I want to make is kind of an odds jobs worker, someone that goes where ever someone needs an extra hand, and they're going to need a place to stay.

@onenote There's an inn called the Greenleaf Lodge waiting to be commandeered, it'll run by an NPC if no players decide to run it.

Hhmhm~

I love harvest moon, but I always hesitate to show interest in an RP...they always seem to not last very long V_V

That said, you said magic is available, hmm? How about a person who sells questionable potions that may or may not work? Kind of like a witch, but without any actual magic?

If that doesn't work, I do have a Miner overseer and a farmer, I'd like to try~

Character done! As for the history sorry if it's a little rough in a spot or two. It's late so I am not sure how disjointed or how many errors there are in it at the moment.

@dndragons Looks good to me, accepted!

@Rune_Alchemist Hmm, we could work with a potion seller. Maybe they aspire to make functional potions and have come to Sugar Pine to see what they can learn from the forest?

that'd definitely be their motivation, yes~

I'll get to work on a CS for her and one of my others, then, if you'll allow me to have more than one~

@Rune_Alchemist Hmm, hadn't thought about multiple characters, but it shouldn't be a problem. I guess we can cap it at 2 per player for now and see how it goes! Both accepted, and if anyone else wants to make a second character, feel free!

Alright, I'll wait another day for @Bassummoner, @Simple Unicycle, @Shikaru, @Bai Suzhen, and anyone else to throw their hats into the ring, then start it up.

The game will always be recruiting so anyone can jump in whenever!
