Premise

When you are young, you want to spread your wings to fly and fly you have; all the way to India! The land of ancient enchantment, mystery and magic. The colors, the sounds, the people; it all has drawn you in and you have opted to leave wherever you were and whatever you were doing to take an extended trip and set up residence in a long term hotel in the heart of India.

You go to school, you work, you party - you do it all or nothing at all as you just watch the sun set on this majestic land and take a breather. You have been in India anywhere from the last three to six months having the time of your life. You are set up in the Best Exotic Hotel, a rather run down but being renovated long term facility. Some days the power works, some days it doesn't. Don't count on on your net service being active at all hours and sometimes the water pipes decide to say "Screw you, you're gonna stink today," but hey, you get through it.

You are one of many young adults shacked up here at the Best Exotic. Most of the rooms are single occupancy but there are a few doubles. Doesn't really matter though, the lay out for the hotel is open with a large courtyard in the center and plenty of places of relax. You all have gotten a chance to get to know each other; some only on the surface, others on a much deeper level. Question is, what is going to happen next?

Well, only you as the guest know that and honestly, do you even know what you'll do next? Power cuts, weather, people all mix together to create some wonderful times but there are also storms on the horizon. So how will you all fare? Stick it out and grow closer? Or are some just going to say - Yeah, I'm ready to get back to regular AC and Twitter updates? Let's find out.

The doors have opened at the Best Exotic - What happens next is up to you.

Character Sheet





Relation Sheets


Instructions On Relation Sheets:
  • Relations must be worked out between each character
  • PM each Rper and work out the relations personally - don't just assume the relation
  • NO Ships to start! (Aka no predone couples)
  • Update Relation throughout the RP to keep it up to date
  • Let relations develop naturally.


Yes, I know it is odd not to have a predone Couple tag for a relation sheet - that will be added in later but I want to keep from any couples being already put together before this RP starts. As much fun as it is to "ship" characters I have seen it be the downfall to some pretty amazing stories lines that could have been possible and much more real. Sure, ship away in OOC, place bets on who you think will end up with who but as far as the IC itself goes - let it happen naturally and over time. (Seriously, don't let there suddenly be 4 couples at the end of day one, lol) Let's enjoy this. Remember the majority of the characters have only been there like three to six months, they are from all over the world, there are language barriers, culture barriers, etc. Play to that.

@Charnobylisk Well rooms will be randomly assigned once we get enough approved cs's in. Perhaps Lady Luck will be nicer for this Rp, lol

@Lady Amalthea I figured they'd be randomly assigned so I chose the wording of "rolling" carefully. :D Trying to keep on her good side, this lady of ours.

@Lady AmaltheaI just read your rules and etiquette and I have a few questions and things to clarify.

My first question is, must we provide a character image? I don't often do that because I generally have an image in my head I can't accurately find on media. XD. I feel as if I would have to plan the character around the image instead of using an image to enhance the character.
Also, I suppose we roll for our floors as @Charnobylisk said? I might have missed that part in the intro if that was included.
Thank you! I look forward to this RP.

@POOHEAD189 No, you don't have to provide a character image. Most prefer to but it is not required. I place it there to give them a location.

Rooms will be chosen at random by me once we have enough cs's in, I'll let you know the room number.

@Lady AmaltheaI appreciate it. I was making my character in the CS tab so I could scroll up and look at yours and Char's to make sure I wasn't messing up last night, and I just automatically hit send after doing a small bit of editing today.

@Lady AmaltheaI'm pretty new to this site so I don't have any decent examples of my writing ability, but if you'd like me to PM you a quick sample, I'd be more than happy to.

@Sherlolly Adore what you have for your character. No worries about being new to the site, just check the bottom of the rules section in the original ooc post. It has a disclaimer for new comers to the forum and what they need to do in replacement of a post link, ^^
