Welcome to Drumvar: A Slice of Life RP (Always Accepting)

Ignoring the fact that guild issues forced the first post to be split into 2 smaller ones: The RP has officially begun.

Here's a link to the post timer: Essentially every two weeks of IRL time we'll advance the RP time by 1 week. If you're working on a post when the week changes over, just finish it and mention when it was taking place before moving on to your next one.

Also, here's some of our WIP NPCs. Once they have more actually written we'll migrate them over to their place in the Character tab.

Welcome to Drumvar: A Slice of Life RP (Always Accepting)

You're aware, but I'll probably maybe make a second character.

Welcome to Drumvar: A Slice of Life RP (Always Accepting)

Yes, we are, and probably won't close admissions unless we get an absolutely ridiculous number of players.

We'll probably start the RP sometime this weekend regardless of how many more characters get submitted.

Welcome to Drumvar: A Slice of Life RP (Always Accepting)

All the currently accepted players should have Discord links to the server as of now.

While joining the server won't be strictly required, most people on RPGuild do use it, and you're likely to miss out on a lot of OOC interaction otherwise.

Welcome to Drumvar: A Slice of Life RP (Always Accepting)

While I'll need to confirm with Las, due to the nature of the RP (pure Slice of Life) I can't see us having a player limit and will probably even allow two characters per person.

We'll look over your CS soon as she gets around to... getting around.

@MissCapnCrunch Just a reminder that you're accepted as well.

Painfully Average Nobody

Fraser Zorić

Name:

Fraser Zorić

Age:

34

Appearance:

At 193cm (6'4") and with a build to match it, Fraser tends to tower over most people, and rarely has to suffer somebody trying to pick a fight with him as a result. His hair can vary anywhere towards buzzcut short and medium-long, but usually tends to stray towards the latter. It's rarely kempt, and while he doesn't grow a beard his face seems to never be clean shaven, both of which are a constant annoyance for his boss. Other than this, he doesn't seem to possess any tattoos or piercings, and other than small scars that seem to litter his exposed skin ("Bad scrape on some gravel, watch your kids when they're out biking!") he's remarkably unblemished.

It seems as if he's always dressed for work, even on the weekends. Button down shirts, dress pants, a heavy coat in the winter, a laptop bag, and a newspaper tucked under his arm. This is the image of Fraser that most people will encounter on most days, even when all he intends to do is drink and relax at a pub. He even always carries a cellphone intended only for work with him- and if it weren't for his otherwise relaxed attitude it'd be easy to accuse him of being a workaholic. A strange combination to be sure, but there were far stranger sights in Drumvar.

Family:

• Heather Zorić (née Murray) - Mother, 59
• Petar Zorić - Father, 65
• Only child, no pets, and not particularly close to family outside of his parents.

Occupation:

Administrative Assistant at the Burn's Bank of Drumvar

Personality:

Laid back, quiet, and almost so unremarkable that he's hard to notice, Fraser is the kind of person who can mesh with anybody but will never make the effort to interact on his own. Asocial more than antisocial, once you get him talking he's as good a companion as anybody else, but is content to sit in a corner and pass the day away by himself. Usually watching or reading the news- almost to an obsessive degree. Most people, as it is, ignore him. And he's happy to do the same in return.

Whenever he is engaged in conversation he's the perfect listener, much more interested in hearing about his partner's life than discussing his own. Mostly because, as he puts it, there's not a whole lot to tell. He goes to work, pays his bills, goes home, and occasionally frequents a local pub or café to avoid going stir crazy. He can also frequently be seen jogging around the local parks in a clear effort to try and remain fit. This health consciousness is counterbalanced by a complete lack of cleanliness- at least in regards to his home. It's constantly in such a state of mess that he can almost never allow visitors over without advanced warning- and it's amazing that rats haven't already found it a suitable place to nest.

History:

Fraser was actually born in Dumvar, though he spent much of his childhood outside of it. While "Lifers" of the area might find his extensive travels as a kid exotic, they honestly didn't end up changing much in his life. His mother traveled through much of Eastern Europe for work with his father, and they got sick of it almost two decades ago, traveled back to Drumvar, and Fraser has been a local ever since.

Aside from that, his life had been crushingly boring. He worked a few entry level jobs here and there- sometimes moving a couple town over for work, mostly staying in Drumvar though- and eventually going to school for business in order to find himself a better paying job. He'd only just recently graduated actually- though not from Drumvar University- before landing his current job at Burn's Bank. It was a life of accomplishments that would make few proud, but he didn't seem to mind. Fraser was one of those who seemed happy to just drift through life.

Other:

• Although he doesn't seem to smoke often at all, Fraser always carries a pack of a cigarettes and lighter on him.
• A quick google search reveals that his last name is Serbian. This is not surprising, given his father is Serbian.
• He always carries a spare pair of glasses on him. "Better to be prepared than blind!"

Welcome to Drumvar: A Slice of Life RP

The lack of plot is not a bug, it's a feature, but we appreciate the intent of the offer.

Welcome to Drumvar: A Slice of Life RP

@Lasrever Before you create the OOC and embarrass yourself, you need to think about a few locations before finishing the descriptions of the current ones.

Namely:

The local Kilt tailor.

The Tartan dye shop.

The caber toss and shot-put field.

The local haggis merchant.

The local statue of William Wallace inscribed with "They may take our lives, but they will not take our FREEDOM!"

The stash of white flags kept so that if England ever marches north again the populous can surrender as quickly and efficiently as possible.
