PrinceAlexus — Roleplayer Guild

 Sol City 

Welcome to our Slice of Life RP set in Sol city, very roughly based on Seattle, Northern Western US coast and Canada. 

If you enjoy a slice of life RP and want a committed and long lasting RP then this is the place you have been looking for. We have a committed GM team and genuinely enjoy Slice of Life. We have plans for regular events and to keep on adding to the RP to keep things fresh and create a growing, expanding environment.

If you want to suggest a idea, location your'e more than welcome. We invite players to add to the world if they think it is fitting and adds to world that we as a whole are creating. 

So, to the main event, Sol City. 

Sol City is the largest city in the area loosely based on Canada and Northwestern USA with a twist. Bright, light and shining Sol city gained it's name from being a beacon of light to early travelers, and still to this day draws the young, the adventurous and the thrill seekers looking for a new start. 

So explore, enjoy, and the mark you make is your choice.

The Rules

Not scary don't worry 

RULES

1. Observe standard RPing rules. No godmoding, no-metagaming, stay in character, and stay within the storyline. If you want to make any major changes to the story, ask us first. Be polite to the other members. You know the drill. 

2. Write in third person, past tense. Try to make your writing coherent and legible. Although there's no official word requirement, avoid one-liners when possible. 
2b. Move the plot when you post! This is a “slice-of-life” RP, but please try and focus on forwarding the story with every post you make. We don’t want every other post here to be your characters leisurely having tea or monotonously deciding on what clothes to wear. We have a very dynamic world here that you can use to develop your characters. 

3. You are not your character. Your character is not you. Please don't be offended because someone else's character was mean to yours. Likewise, please do not carry real-life arguments into the RPG world. 

4. Character images need to be in an anime-style. Also no crossovers and no Mary/Gary Sue, please.

5. Try not to let anyone get left behind. If you and another person have posted back and forth several times, take a break and let the other players catch up. Of course, there may be times when only a few characters need to be involved in a particular scene; just don't get two days ahead of someone without giving them the chance to respond.

6. Stay active! Everyone gets busy from time to time, but if you’re going to be absent for a while just let us know. There’s no set amount of time allowed for before we start working around dormant players, but if you leave and stay gone without telling us, we’ll move on as we see fit and the plot will roll on without you. If you wish to come back after being naughty, we’ll talk.

7. This game is rated PG-13+, so just about anything goes as far as language, violence, sex, etc. However, you will need to observe standard guild rules should you feel that your posting is headed in this direction. Please read the Moderator posts concerning these topics.

8. Obviously this isn’t going to cover everything, so the GM and Co-GM’s reserve the right to make decisions as situations arise.

Thank you for reading the rules! Hope you have fun RPing with us!

Locations

 Central Point

The centre of everything, Central point houses some of the best boutiques, shops and best night spots including the famous play houses and night spots that give Sol city its young and active reputation. 

Take in a show, have a few drinks in the bars and maybe sing some karaoke in the city centre bars. 

The world is yours! 

  City Hall    

Once the former mansion if the founding Sol family and their descendants for several generations the large light and dramatic building has played host to some of the grandest events in the city’s history, many a scandal, romance and forbidden love a plenty has gone on inside its airy corridors, and quiet nooks. 

Now restored to its former glory as city hall when it fell into disrepair over the decades it's ready to host the new most glamorous events,parties and must attend balls. Will you find love in the nooks? Maybe be charmed on the dance floor or betrayed in the plots and affairs that have occurred over the centuries.

If you're into City politics and intrigues visit the City offices in the west wing and maybe even place your hat in the ring. 

If only walls could talk. 

  Corona Park    

So the city has got you down and you want to get some fresh air away from the crowds?
Corona Park is where you want to go, complete with a peaceful forest walk, large open spaces and many cozy benches ideal for a quiet private moment.

If all that exercise has you tired, stop by the famous smoothie bar for a recharge and a sit down, watch the city and forget about your post workout aches and pains. 

  The Old Starboard     

So you want a bite to eat or a bit of a quieter pace of life then the old Starboard is the Bar for you. With food, drink or coffee for the designated driver.

The cosy bar welcomes newcomers and regulars alike, sure things are a bit less shiny than central point. Pay a visit, bring a friend for Lunch, maybe a few drinks in the evening and enjoy the ambience and relaxed atmosphere. 

  The Coffee Pot

If you're feeling like beating Central points traffic then maybe consider the Helicopter Taxi and transport team. Why stress when you fly! Take a floatplane tour out to the beach or the mountains. 

  Swan Songs:   by aladdin_sane
    
Located in our beautiful historic district Swan Songs has been Sol’s number one provider of records and tapes since 1976.

“My father Isaac was always adamant that a healthy city is artistically vibrant. And at least to me music is the most important of the Arts” says Rupert Kingsley 44 who inherited the business after his father at the age of 87 retired with his wife Mandy to the sunny shores of Florida in 2004.  

Rupert and his staff have curated a large collection of music from all genres; they also offer great selections from both mainstream staples and more eclectic artists. While they do not carry everything ever recorded Rupert ensures us that Swan Songs is always adding new stock and the store would be more than happy to appraise your collection if you wish to sell.      

Throughout the years, the shop has offered more than just albums; they have provided a spot for our more musically inclined residents to congregate and perhaps perform.  Rupert prides himself on supporting local bands and the windows of the shop are normally plastered with ads for upcoming gigs or “musician wanted” posters. Swan Songs also sell albums, EPs, and singles from local bands and artists; some these great local selections include Lyclene obscurilinea from the post-punk outfit  Louis-Pierre Gravel, Bottle Rocket the latest release from the darkwave band Kremlin, and  the somber new album from M33 entitled L'Estaque, Melting Snow  Once or twice a month the store will transform itself into a live venue for a local or touring band to perform.

“Newcomers to the city are always asking about the local scene and what bands they should check out” says Kingsley “Our helpful staff are always happy to point those folks in the right direction.”  

So if you are looking to expand your musical horizons you would be doing yourself a huge disservice by not visiting Swan Songs. They are located on 412 W 18th street next to Café Clover and Lawful Good Gaming.

  Old Harbour     

Old Harbour once home to the ships that fed Sol cities growth in centuries past now the trendy place to find the best warehouse apartments and the freshest seafood in the City. Take a walk and explore the oldest part of the City. 

Take a wander, maybe you find a hidden gem in the cities oldest and most varied district. 

Still home the City Marina Old Harbour is a must see place for those who love to travel the water and maybe rent out a boat for a weekend cruise. 

  Riverside  

Take a walk down by the Promenade and you'll find Riverside. Home to some of the most expensive apartments in the city and unique independent shops you'll be spoiled for choice in unique fashions and quiet coffee shops to watch the passing boats and read a good book. 

Maybe take a look by one the smaller more intimate parks off the tourist trail, a ideal place for a private picnic or just to enjoy some peace and quiet away from the busier Corona Park. 

Daedalus Airlines float aircraft can land and take off from the southside of the River Park away from the highway bridges that connect both sides of the riverfront landing with downtown.

So hello everyone. Thank you for expressing your interest and joining us. 

We are getting close to being able to get the ball rolling. We are aiming for a few days, to weekend. 

We are working on locations now. But the city is yours as much as ours and we want people to have a opertunity to being there ideas to life, maybe you want to charecter to run a business or you got a idea for a cool location.

This is because we belive everyone is welcome to add ideas, and help shape the RP to somthing that everyone enjoys. 

If you have ideas. I have a example format. It's in thr form of a travel guide, feel free to take a lighter tone. Any picture is more a drawn style. No real life pictures please. 

Lengh is about 1-3 paragraphs, this is just a quick snapshot to help people see the concept. This is a longer version but they can be shorter too. 

(this is entirely optional. There's no pressure just opening the door if you feel comfortable and creative doing so.) 

So far the draft list is

City Hall
Bar
Sports centre
Airport/local Airline
Park
City centre
Cafe


Luna sports facility.
