Shine City III: The Summer Sequel
We are back for the 3rd season!
For those of you new to Shine City, its an open freeform slice of life/romance RP where young single people come to socialise and find friendships, dating and ultimately love in the beautiful and ever growing shine city.
For reference here are the previous seasons.
Shine City
Shine City II
Shine city is the largest city in Shine County, a fictional land that is based on Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom to some degree where your character will work and live day by day (depending on time skips) and interact with the other inhabitants. The 'Plot' of the RP is mainly decided by the characters as it's open to flow with the current events, this is a HUGE social RP so we want as many characters as possible for this iteration of Shine City.
What You Can Expect
• You don’t need to have been a part of season 1 or 2 to jump right into season 3! Don’t be scared to join our cast of players just because you’ve never played with us before. Help us keep this sea stocked with plenty of fish!
• This is going to be a high casual to low advanced roleplay, which means you will be expected to give well written posts with a three paragraph minimum. This doesn't mean you have to write flawlessly, we all misspell a word every now and again, but no one should have to struggle to make sense of your post.
• This is an anime roleplay, so we are going to be using anime for our appearance pictures. No real life please!
• This game is very character driven! @Dynamo Frokane (The GM!) has created a lovely town for you to play in, so go forth and make your own story! The city will hold the occasional event (like an author having a book signing or a carnival) so we can get many of the characters in one place for a bigger chance to mingle and the GM will impose time skips as he sees fit, but other than that you are free to explore the town and play however you want.
•You will probably find love! ...and maybe a little heartache. It’s a fact of any romance roleplay that characters will fall in and out of love and one character may even betray another one (steal their man, sabotage a job interview, cheating, etcetera etcetera). It is important for you to know that while the Shine City staff (@Dynamo Frokane, the lovely and perfect @MyCatGinger and myself) love us some good IC drama, we do not enjoy it when it carries over to the OOC. Please be kind and respectful of your fellow players and always remember that the character and their creator are two separate entities.

Town Locations
Here is a list of Shine City's different locations that your character can explore/work at! We’re always updating it based off player demand, so check back often!
I will be your tour guide to make sure you enjoy your stay, first let me show you to the town centre, its know by its official road name of Shine Junction
Here you will find a lot of the high end boutiques and clothing stores, there is a theatre, a few music venues and of course the shine city arcade! At night this place lights up and this becomes an amazing place to take a date for a drink in one of the penthouse bars on the skyscrapers dotted throughout the centre. Or maybe take your date to one of the 14 restaurants each with a different cultural style for that exotic variety! Everybody who's anybody can be seen in Shine Junction from time to time.But hang around here too much and you may become over-exposed, a little mystery and privacy goes a long way in the dating world ;)
Now for all of you slightly younger go getters out here, or maybe those just trying to add to their skill set later on in life, you will already be familiar with the Shine City Academy
Although most students here are between the ages of 16-22 there is good number of older students here looking to further their career with extra qualifications, this academy boasts a massive campus which holds a lot of dorm rooms, and a huge university sports field as well. Although this is a place of study do not heistate to come here for a spot of after school socialising! I recommend the cafeteria, the food there is excellent, what a surprise!
After all that it would make sense to take it easy for a little while and get some fresh air so why don't you check out the Shiny Park?
You may want to take your puppy for a walk around here, pets are the best conversation starter and you may even get some exercise chasing after Mr/Ms Right! I'll catch you there for ultimate frisbee!
This is also a great place for a picnic, and time to pull out the guitar when nobody is expecting it.
If you want to relax or maybe talk to the cool bartenders and baristas the please check out this awesome cafe bar combo, its frequented by the more artistic crowd in Shine City and is a great place for indpendent musicians to get a start. The lovely Rosanna Reyes works here and the bar has seen a influx of young men attending since she started working here....hmmm I wonder why? :) But if you are feeling hungry please head over to the Tiny Snowflake Restaurant
Feeling that traditional vibe? well the founder of this beautiful eatery in the heart of shine junction can trace his family business all the way back to the Edo period, which is why he has chosen to preserve the oriental aesthetic in the decor. The menu here is very varied though serving anything from Sushi and Wu don to steak and lobster, to cater to all the tastes of the very mixed culture of shine city. Word has it that the beautiful Amaya works here in a very pretty kimono, you'll have to come see for yourself.
Hey so you have a bit of spare cash? why not see if you can double it at shine city's premiere grown up playground? The socilaites from the the wealthy Upscale Heights part of town love to frequent this golden paradise almost any day of the week. Casino Games, Poker, BlackJack, Roulette, Slots, the options to gamble and live life on the edge are available for you here, just remember when its time to stop! But if youre not quite old enough for these games and want a more family friendly playground check out the Lancom Arcade
This is the centre for everything gaming, LAN parties, Trading Card Games, Arcade Tournaments, even a bit of cosplay on certain days! Please come along and spend the day with your friends around colourful lights and library of games for you to enjoy! And remember this is shine city, so a high level tournament player is the type to end up on a lot of dates! so brush up on those skills! Now after all that high energy gaming why not take a stroll through the calming Shine Aquarium exhibition?
The sea creatures of shine county are a marvel to behold, and the 'blue tunnel' in this vast museum/aquarium is almost the stuff of legend, this aquarium was the main driving force of tourism in shine city back when it was only a little town back in the 80s. This is the perfect place to take a date, let the atmosphere and music send you into a dream word...and dont forget to buy a t-shirt!
...And I think that's it! Please let us know if you’re interested in playing with us this season and feel free to ask questions if you need something clarified or need help with a character sheet.
Thank you for stopping by~!
