Hidden in the farming county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania lives the Amish settlement of Marrowbone. A place where only hundreds still live a "simple and plain" lifestyle in today's modern year of 2018. A life in Marrowbone allows you to step back in time to enjoy a slower, more peaceful pace - one where the horse and it's attached buggy remains a primary form of transportation, and where windmills dot the landscape, providing power harnessed from nature. Our community is also involved in agriculture as well as an array of family businesses and a deep sense of our religion.
Freedom is not the right to do as you please but the liberty to do as you ought.
This year's group of budding adults have reached their sixteenth year and are ready to take on the tradition of Rumspringa. For Marrowbone this event is a rite of passage during adolescence, where the youth in the community are allowed to leave Marrowbone and not follow tradition until they reach the age of twenty one. At this age (or when they are ready) they will have the ability to return to the settlement and remain in the community or they will choose to leave- and continue with a modern life, being shunned by their loved ones but following their own paved path.
Elders of Marrowbone view this time for youth courtship as well as a learning experience; knowing that the children of their community will always return home where they belong once they find out how cruel and uncivilized the outside world is.
What path will you follow?

Hello and welcome to another of MissCapnCrunch's somewhat ridiculous roleplay ideas!
I won't bother you with too many rules, just don't be a dick and I'll be happy. Use common sense, and if I ask you to change something just go with the flow and talk it out with me and we will be just fine. Try to post once a week and keep your posts at least a paragraph long in length. Communicate!
Now for some meat;
In this roleplay you and NINE other teenage members of Marrowbone (This will either be ten individual players or a few people with doubles. Any role that isn't filled will be an NPC) will be experiencing Rumspringa- imagine a no ruled vacation, where you're allowed to do anything you want; but you don't know if you even want to. Each character will be starting at the age of SIXTEEN. If things are well received this roleplay will follow the characters until they are twenty one and have to make their ultimate decision. This gives opportunity to make great character relationships and personal development.
The general setting will be that the Elders of Marrowbone will have set up a bank account of sorts for the ten teenagers in their new adventure in the city of NEW YORK. There is enough money for basic survival of food, rent (they will have a duplex split by gender- but that doesn't have to last long), and some extra for emergencies. Once these funds run low after the first year the teens will have to go get a job if they want to remain out.
Let's find out where our creativity takes us!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
For your character sheet I am giving you the barest of bones. I am doing this because I want you to make the coding/style your own. Express your character in your coding. Change things around, add things. As long as it makes sense- have fun!
I'm ready to die!

Yes, its super interesting! I watch a lot of docu-series about Amish and the more extreme Mormons where if you aren't following what your parents and their parents and their "leaders" have told you- you might not have a home to come back to. I've seen too where they do the most extreme things they can think of the minute they turn 16. I think it'll definitely be interesting.
Would it be better for us to have this set like it's a group of kids that are "sponsored" per say or should it just be on their free will. I thought about if they are all from the same group, maybe their elders have an initial fund for them, but if they stay longer than the first year they are on their own for cash.
Also for anyone tuning in right now or people that have shown interest so far :) I will start working on the OOC this weekend and for sure will have something up by Sunday (not sure what time, I am CST) for a bit more substance to the idea. If anyone wants to co-gm and has some great ideas/plot lines I would love to team up

Just so you guys know I will try to get an OOC started by this weekend :) Thanks!
Feel free to keep discussing in here ideas and the like. Maybe browse around for pictures of your character- Definitely don't need to have a photo of an amish girl or boy, but we don't want any big time celebrities either? Try to find natural looks if possible, bonus points from me if you can find the before and after photos!!

Monday: Dusty's trailer in Southside's The Palace with Joel @Pilatus
Tuesday- Thursday Afternoon: Working with Marcus @Zaxter996 to SCPD (Sol City Police Department) visiting Mom- Kimberly. Texting Leo @CaptainSully
As the two sat there for a moment Dustynn replied to his comment with a hint of reluctance, "I'm not trying to push off any blame, but pretty sure my Mom ran it down this morning." she motioned to the trailer, "She was the one who told me it wasn't working in the first place." she shrugged with a gentle smile, "Could have been me though, I'm human and make lots and lots of mistakes!" a laugh escaped from her lips a hand reaching over and touching the top of Joel's crossed arm briefly. After a few minutes the car spurted back to life, several thank you were exchanged as Dustynn reached into her backpack. She counted out the folded bills, it looked like it equaled to one hundred and seventeen dollars, an impressive amount but it might not have been enough to pay off the generosity of Joel this morning. Dustynn insisted he took every bit, "I'm sorry if it's not enough, but it's all I have. I can get the rest later, or if this can cover the trouble I will be forever in your debt Joel." her eyes matched his, deep in her sincerity.
The deal had been sealed, ol' reliable had been saved.
The start of the week had gone by as usual.
Work. Leo. Have some fun. Work. Leo. Leo. Leo.
Work and her charming man Leo had been all Dustynn had surrounded her days with lately. Work wasn't out of the usual but Leo had continued to bring a smile to the girl's face. Simple things continued to impress Dustynn; Leo would go out of his way to make sure that the young woman was treated well. Looking forward to their date at Mount Atlas, Dustynn constantly googled the area, looking at photos, videos, and reviews while she was on her break at work, babbling often to her new co-worker Marcus when she could. "You're new here, so I'll claim you as my friend before any of these other losers do. Consider it a blessing." Dustynn pointed out with a little smirk, as she moved products with Marcus from the truck outside to inside Club Aether. He was a nice boy, and picked up things pretty fast. She hoped her teasing wasn't too hard on him, as he seemed a little shy now and again.
When Dustynn left work Wednesday night and Leo gave her a supply box for the upcoming storm, Dustynn couldn't help but wonder if he knew where she lived. Trailer trash. She kissed him in the parking lot after placing the box in the back of her car, thankful but worried. He knew that she had a longer drive into work, but tons of people lived in Southside and not in a dingy trailer. "Thanks baby." she commented about the supplies, wrapping her arms around him in an embrace. "Be safe Leo... if it's really bad don't try to come in either, even though I know you will anyways." she laughed, delivering him another kiss before climbing into the car and driving back towards home.
On the road tears rolled down her cheeks as she wiped them away with her thumb inside the sleeve of her sweater that peeked from her leather jacket. She hated feeling this way around Leo, that she was not good enough for this relationship that was forming. Wiping her nose, she fumbled with the radio, happy that it now worked with the heater on. She thanked Joel again in her head as she got back to her home at The Palace. Pulling into the yard, Dustynn was met with flashing lights. "Fuck!" she yelled, throwing off her seatbelt and exiting the car. The police officer met her coming out while she was trying to go in, "What is going on? Is my mom okay?!" she exclaimed, trying to push her way into the trailer, the police officer put out his hand to stop the girl, "She is fine mam, we got a call for a domestic disturbance and found your mother belligerent with another man who fled the scene, we're taking her in for some testing. Do you know of any illegal substances she might be under the influence of?" Dustynn stared blankly, thinking of every nook and cranny in the trailer that had something stashed in it. "No." her tone stern and direct.
The police drove away, as Dustynn cleaned up the mess inside. Some of it was from their investigation but most of it was left there from earlier in the morning. Collapsing to the couch, Dustynn pulled her legs up underneath her as she wondered what in the world was she going to do next. She pulled her silenced since work cellphone out and saw the several missed calls from her mother before slipping off her boots and laying down, not bothering to change into her pajamas.
Thursday's weather wasn't a surprise but it was still an eye opener to see how much snow had fallen overnight. It was not bad enough to drive in, and Dustynn knew she to get down to her mother or the woman would absolutely lose her shit. Dressing in layers once again, Dustynn got ready for the day- bringing the supplies in that she forgot last night; sliding them in the front door before leaving towards the police station. It wasn't the first time she had done this, as she rented a locker to place her phone, keys, money, and other belongings in her pockets away. She filled out the paperwork and waited for the check in to be complete so she could visit with her mom through a heavy glass for about an hour.
Before putting the phone away Dustynn read Leo's text and almost threw up. Things would be so much easier if she just tore down that brick wall and let him help her. She knew he would be here in a heartbeat if she asked. She knew this. She texted him back, a pang of remorse sitting on her heart as she hit send.
I am home right now; so comfy and cozy! Hope you're being safe, and stay nice and warm too. Wish I was there to help. Just thought about that roast you made us, and my tummy is grumbling! I'm bummed that our day at Mount Atlas got canceled this week but I guess everything happens for a reason right? Maybe i'll call you a little later. xox
A look of disgust sat on Dustynn's lips "You're an idiot." Dustynn sneered after she had made her way to the visiting room to put the germ ridden plastic phone to her ear. The hollow face of her pitiful mother looking back at her, as Kimberly explained what happened to her Wednesday night. The two kept a conversation for awhile as the snow fell peacefully outside.

It's definitely something I've been thinking about. I am not from the community obviously, so any information would be just be from media as well as our own creative process of sorts? I know already that I don't want to focus on the religious aspect of things too much- (though it's important in their community) I want to focus more on the lack of technology, the modesty, the hardworking ethic to traveling then to a world with cars, phones, movies, drinking, drugs, even as simple as being able to wear a dress that shows off your knees! Culture shock, friendships, and everything that comes with growing up.
Fun part about it too, is that for the people that end up leaving, we will just write them up as going back home. Easy!
@Noodles
Thankyou!! :) Pleasure to have you.

Trust me it's something I have never done either, thats why I don't have much structure to it (yet) like I usually try to do- but I figured what could go too wrong with a slice of life/coming of age/getting in shenanigans type roleplay? Glad for your guys interest, i'll keep thinking about stuff-
suggestions always appreciated

Alright, so I don't have really ANY structure to this yet, however- I've been thinking about it for a bit and thought it would be an interesting roleplay. For people who don't know what Rumspringa is- it's a time in an Amish teen's life where they are allowed to leave their life for (usually 2 years, but could be longer-rest of their lives) to see what the "real world" is life in a sense. Most parents want their kids to see the world as a terrible vice filled place and come back home. Some teens see this life, get a real education, have WAY too much freedom and fun and decide not to ever come back.
My idea for the roleplay will be spit out here kind of non-organized; I just want to see if anyone would wanna do this and if anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic!
1) Roleplay starts with a group of teens all from the same community, they will all be 16 and then they can experience it however they'd like all together. The roleplay can be long term because we could split it up into chapters based on their ages.
2) Roleplay starts with a group of teens from 3 different from communities, same premise but I feel like more likely to create some more interesting relationships because why not?
Well- this is just my rambling, so if anyone has a slightest interest or a HUGE interest please comment! Let's talk. I'd want some help too, so if you're really into this and wanting to take a big part in it- pm me and we can become partners in crime in no time :)
