Informational Guide

[Aruruu]

Just incase anyone joined or will join and is confused by all this...

PRETTY MUCH
The roleplay is set on an island that does have electricity, but no Tv-videogame kinda thing. I don't think they have a microwave, either... Oh well. But the only ones who have magical abilities are the Witch and the Goddess. Your character(s) live on the island and work to make this small, humble village into something wonderful, though it already is. It's up to you which life you'll lead. Are you going to be a rancher? A Doctor? A chef at the Diner and/or cafe? A miner for Regis? That's up to you! <3

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE RANCHERS
Nobody really 'Lives here'. They can, but most of the ranchers live at the inn/hotel/their own home. If you want an OC to live by where all the farming and animal care is done, that's fine.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE BEACH
-Denny

Don't worry if it looks small enough that there isn't room to build new buildings. Don't want to live in the Ranch/Inn/Hotel? PM me and I will PM Gannon (or if no one is playing Gannon, I'll do it myself) and instruct him to start building a small, medium, or large house in your requested area. Please give me a reason why. I don't care if it's bad, I just want to know :3. If we can't fit you in your requested area, or some kind of complication comes up, we will talk about where we can.
PLEASE DO NOT MOVE CHARACTERS FROM THEIR HOME! You can move your OC's, UNLESS THEY HAVE HAD A HOUSE BUILT FOR THEM. If they had a house built, THEY CANNOT MOVE, with the exception of a marriage. The reason is, even if it's fictional, Gannon went through a lot of work building it.

Months
Pretty much, there are no months.
There's just Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
There is thirty days in each season, and I'll figure out how many pages before the change of a season. Seasons effect what grows. Like in the summer you can grow tomatoes, but not potatoes. I'll list the crops later.

Marriages and Pregnancies
We'll start with Marriages.
Pretty much anyone in the RP can be married, except for Taro, Charlie, Eliza, Regis, and the Harvest Goddess.
DON'T
-Marry without asking me
-Announce marriage without other person's consent.
-Ask to divorce only a little while after the marriage (like, 10-20 pages)
If you want two characters to be in a relationship, take it into pm's :3 Decide if it'll be a secret love or not and stuff XD Iunno. But you get my point.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET MARRIED OR BE IN A RELATIONSHIP.
You can just be friends with everyone, maybe some a little more than another, but you don't have to have your character love if you don't want to.
Pregnancies
If you DO happen to get married... or decide beforehand, that you and your spouse/fiancee/Boyfriend/Girlfriend in the RP decide you want a baby, think ahead a little. And make sure to ask me first!
NO SEX SCENES
The Girl will have to
-Be pregnant for a year. That would mean, if she got pregnant in Summer, her baby will be born the Summer after.
-That includes getting fat
-Mood swings
-Weird Cravings against their likes/dislikes, or with it.
-Morning sickness
-And there will be no laboring scene. It will transition as so
It's the Summer after, and the day you decide that you want the baby, the next morning, she'll have it. As in carrying it around or sitting in bed or caring for it. Simple as that. Harvest Moon is kinda like that
The Boys will have to
-Care for their Spouse/Fiancee/Girlfriend. C'mon, you can't make her work so hard while she's pregnant. It's been proven that some labor can affect how babies are born >:I
-After the baby is born, help her take care of him/her. Not every second, but take some time to help out along with what your character does as a profession.

Did I forget anything? I think that's good for now. If you have anything you think should be added or have a question about, post it here.

How will we distinguish characters? Say we have two, then how are other people going to know which character we're role playing as? Should we use color codes or something such as:

Cliff:
*role playing here*

Elliot:
*role playing here*

Just a suggestion. ^^

[Aruruu]

Well, you can do it however you like. Color code it (Though make sure it stands out on both the gold and the green), do the Cliff:/Elliot: Thing, or just do a seperate paragraph like:

Elliot sat down... blahbity blah blah

Cliff.... Did this, blah blah blah,

So in a way, just naturally put their name in the beginning of the paragraph. However you want, that's fine. If you do color code, make sure to put it in your sig ;3

[Cloey]

I will be role playing Popuri. Where does she live according to this map?

[The Witch]

East Town the hotel

[Cloey]

Okay, I was thinking that, I just wasn't really sure ^^;;

[Holliness]

Can I request there's some sort of way to tell which characters listed are being played or not??
like,... if they're being played by someone (ex: popurri) their name would be in red then say the user's name in parenthesis next to it (ex: (cloey))

And then if the character is available to be played, their name would be in green

...or something >3>;;
i duno xD;

cause i'd like to play an existing charrie but it'd be hard to look around tryign to research who's got what

[Aruruu]

Go look in the characters section and click "Choosing a character" thread. I still have to update a couple people who are taken, but in the island characters sub-board, it says whether they're taken or not :3 But I might do that.

[Holliness]

;; yeah i noticed that after I posted this XDD
