OOC Information:
[Icarus, 19, EST, 6?, She/He/They, Vomit, Hospitals, Needles].
Student Application:
Is that [Lazarus Grey]? I heard [They(/Them)] look a lot like [Medalion Rahimi] and they’re [25]. If you asked someone they’d label them as [The Activist] because of [handwritten protest signs and vines of Ivy growing on the side of a well loved building]. Some would say they’re [Resilient and Creative] but they’re also [Bossy and Unforgiving]. Let’s see how well they fit in at North Grove ahead of their [Sophomore] year!

hey! im new to discord rp and was wondering how this one is set up? like is done through locations or individual threads? im a sucker for small town rps,, but I'm also a noob with discord.
hi there and thanks for the question! so our channels are set up by character! when you create an individual thread, whichever character is starting the interaction adds it to their category! we also have two main group chats one for students which is only for students of north grove university and then the town groupchat which is for everyone!

do you have any underrated jobs or favorites you'd like to see more of? it's always the same things in indie/rp in general nowadays.
i admittedly haven't been properly in rp in months , and idk the indie world but honestly just having an everyday job would be cool to see ! like i know this is rp and u can be fantastical , but we can also be realistic !!! with that said , here's a mix of jobs i always find kinda fun to write abt / give . some are obvs a bit out - there , but some are just kinda cute and every-day-ish !
events coordinator ( slightly always run off their feet , always fielding a million calls ? )
tour guide at a museum / aquarium / zoo / haunted house ( think of how much knowledge they'd have and how much they probably love their job bc they're passionate ? )
wedding planner ( probably always lowkey has smth salty to say abt ANY wedding they're planning fdjfnj )
barista ( like someone who literally loves coffee and loves making coffee and can do all the patterns and is just a huge coffee fiend ? )
camera crew for a production company ( think of their arms . . so strong n sexy from holding cameras all day wow . theyre probably also a night owl bc they work all hours ? )
any female in STEM ( i can't help it i know nothing about the sciences but anyone in stem especially a female is just BADASS )
a diplomat ( idk why but i always find this job to be so fancy ? mb bc i live in a city thats got a lot of diplomats and im just in Wonder of them dfknjfnj )
a surgeon ( honestly i dont think i've ever seen a surgeon written before ? they'd have a lot to say im sure jkfnfjn )
a nurse ( they have to be literally the kindest most empathetic ppl on earth i have so much respect for them and their tough as heck jobs )
a high school teacher ( think abt how jaded they are / tired they are after dealing with TEENAGERS all day )
a news presenter / anchor ( they definitely work odd hours and are also just perpetually Exhausted )
a chef / cook ( always creating smth fun and new . probably spends all day cooking so when they got home theyre exhausted and warm up a microwave meal for themselves ? fjkfdf )
a fitness coach ( bc why not ? enjoys working out and motivating ppl and helping them achieve their fitness Goals )

Is that [VIKTOR ANTONOV]? I heard [HE/HIM] look a lot like [DARWIN GRAY] and they’re [TWENTY FOUR]. If you asked someone they’d label them as [THE ENIGMA] because of [KEEPING EVERYONE AT ARMS LENGTH — INTIMACY IS A LUXURY YOU CANNOT AFFORD and THE IDLE STRUMS OF AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR ECHOING THROUGH AN EMPTY ROOM]. Some would say they’re [CHARISMATIC AND INSIGHTFUL] but they’re also [PRETENTIOUS AND DISSOLUTE]. I also heard that they live around [SUNCREST PLACE APARTMENTS] and are a [MUSICIAN]. Let’s see how well they fit in at Olive Grove!

A LIST OF PLOTLESS TOWN RP-FRIENDLY CHARACTER IDEAS & CONNECTIONS INSPIRED BY MOVIES! (PART 1)
click here for part two.
i collected a couple of plot ideas from some of the movies i thought had interesting stories or characters that i hope can help you with your applications / character connections. please note that a lot of these are, by no means, the actual plots of the films and are only inspired by them. i’ve taken the liberty of making a couple of edits for them to be ‘plotless town rp-friendly’. also, i would’ve separated them by category (platonic, romantic, familial, etc.) but tbh a lot of these can be taken in any way so feel free to put your own spin on them, too, or even make combinations!
trigger warnings: nothing too specific, but there are light mentions of death, road accident, infidelity, illness, injury, drug addiction.
now, without further ado:

 you  just  joined  a  new  rp  group  ,  you’re  SO  excited.  you  love  your  character  but  when  you  open  up  a  new  post  to  tell  all  the  other  members  about  them  ?  nope.  you  close  the  draft.  log  off  ,  never  to  be  seen  again.  i’ve  been  there.  here’s  how  u  can  tackle  that  intro  without  collapsing  in  on  yourself.
tips  for  writing  an  intro  .
first  ,  i  want  to  emphasize  how  important  character  intros  are.  even  in  groups  where  they  are  not  required  ,  i  highly  encourage  you  to  write  one!  members  don’t  know  who  your  character  is  yet!  it’s  also  useful  to  organize  your  thoughts  and  fill  in  any  gaps.
set  up  your  blog  theme  &  navigation.  and  fill  up  your  tags!!  i  always  do  this  ,  as  soon  as  i’m  accepted  and  before  i  send  in  my  account.  it  always  fills  me  with  muse.  this  is  the  time  to  at  least  start  drafting  your  intro  ,  when  your  muse  is  at  its  highest  ;  who  knows  when  you’ll  get  it  back  ?!
read  other  intros.  see  what  others  are  saying  or  including  in  theirs.  check  the  main  for  a  template  of  questions  to  address  ,  or  even  ask  the  admins  if  they  have  any  prompts  relating  to  the  group’s  world  that  you  should  include!  that’s  their  job!!  intros  do  not  have  to  be  stressful  .
take  a  step  back  if  you  continue  to  struggle  with  what  to  write.  if  you  force  yourself  to  write  words  you’re  going  to  get  frustrated  and  you’re  not  going  to  happy  with  the  resulting  chaos  of  an  intro  ok!!  i’m  sure  you  have  a  pretty  good  idea  of  your  character  at  this  point  ,  but  if  you  don’t  ,  now  is  a  good  time  to  flesh  them  out  a  little  more.
introduce  yourself  right  away  in  the  intro.  your  alias  ,  pronouns  ,  a  fun  fact  about  yourself  ?  just  break  the  ice  that  way.  it’s  a  pretty  standard  way  to  start  off  an  intro  when  you’re  in  a  group!  your  muse  is  important  ,  but  it’s  just  as  crucial  to  make  yourself  approachable  to  members  with  prospective  plots!
pls  don’t  worry  about  a  graphic.  a  lot  of  people  have  them  or  make  them  ,  but  attaching  just  a  gif  or  even  no  type  of  visual  at  all  is  not  a  crime.  graphics  are  totally  ,  and  utterly  ,  overrated.  your  character  is  awesome  and  you  don’t  need  a  fancy  aesthetic  to  prove  that!!
be  brief.  long  biography-like  paragraphs  are  amazing  ,  but  those  are  best  kept  on  an  about  /  bio  page  on  your  character’s  blog  ,  to  be  added  to  and  updated  as  time  goes  on  and  the  plot  progresses!  an  intro  is  just  that:  an  introduction.  to  spare  your  fellow  members  who  have  MANY  intros  to  read,  stick  to  the  most  important  points  for  your  intro  post.  that  absolute  need-to-knows.
that  being  said  ,  for  this  next  part  ,  i  suggest  keeping  each  to  one  bullet  point  and  less  than  150  words.  and  you  do  not  need  to  address  all  of  them!!  it  depends  so  much  on  the  rp.  again  ,  there  are  no  rules  for  length!  
some  questions  to  get  u  started  .
how  old  is  your  muse  ?  what  is  their  gender  ?  their  occupation  ?  where  do  they  live  ?
what  was  their  childhood  like  ?  why  do  they  act  the  way  they  do  ?
how  do  they  act  ?  how  do  their  traits  project  in  their  behavior  ?
who  was  a  big  influence  on  their  life  ,  good  or  bad  ?
what  hardships  have  they  faced  ?  what  are  their  most  defining  &  memorable  experiences  that  have  shaped  them  ?
where  has  your  character  been  since  the  rp  began  ?  explain  their  absence  if  you’ve  just  joined  or  the  immediate  events  leading  up  to  the  group’s  opening.
how  are  they  taking  the  current  situation  /  plot  of  the  roleplay  ?  what  role  do  they  play  that  makes  them  crucial  to  the  rp  ?
what  connections  are  you  seeking  for  your  muse  and  how  can  members  contact  you  to  discuss  them  ?

so you’ve been roleplaying for years… things change, the way the community does things shift, and sometimes there’s new skills you need to pick up and adjust to in order to make your time rping as creatively rich and fulfilling as it can be. one of those things that’s become extremely important is plotting & hcing. either in groups, in indie, or doing 1x1s, these two are the foundation to your interaction (unless you’re the type to wing it). sometimes when i interact with people, it seems they don’t really click with this process, so in the guide below, i’ll help to explain why these are so important, and how to do it in a way that not only gives you a rich plot, but helps inspire and keep your writing partner engaged with you.
disclaimer — this is just my personal experience and opinions being shared. i am not the end-all-be-all on how to interact with writing partners. this is just here to get people to begin thinking about things they otherwise wouldn’t have thought about.
questions regarding this help post can be found here. let’s jump in!
