This is exactly what it sounds like
You got some depressed characters? Bring them in.
A WARNING: this is going to be depressing af. Probably self-harm will be written about. If you're sensitive to that kind of thing, don't join
Also, this is not a one-on-one
Some rules:
- don't be rude. If you act in a way that I think is not okay, you're out, don't argue
- swearing is allowed
- anything remotely steamy or dirty does not belong here
- you know what else doesn't belong here? IRL sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ANY KIND OF HATE
- if I've seen you do things on other chats or rps that I do not think is okay, I am allowed to say no when you ask to join
- ASK BEFORE JOINING
- lgbt+ is hella allowed
- shipping is also allowed, but we're going to write it in as we go, not pre-determine ships, and we're not starting any crush stuff between our characters until at least page 6. I'd prefer this didn't get too romantic, more of like a friends helping friends thing
- things are going to get rough. If a bit you post is going to have intense abuse or self harm, or etc, please write (TRIGGER WARNING) above it
- please try to be as accurate as possible if describing depressing events that have not happened to you.
- seriously, do your research
- descriptive posts on physical, verbal, and psychological abuse/self harm/etc are allowed, but again, put a trigger warning
- if your character has undergone sexual abuse, do not go into detail about the scenes. If they have flashbacks about it, don't be overly descriptive. Obviously you can mention it, but be sensitive
- you know what, imma repeat that last bit: BE SENSITIVE
- BE RESPECTFUL
- I am allowed to ask you to delete a post or leave.
- no IRL fighting. If someone is being rude, then obviously call them out on it. But don't throw around unnecessary insults.
- this is a realistic style rp. no fantasy pls
- takes place in like 2016ish
- please don't make up a character on the spot for this, have a relatively developed one please
- age limit is uhh 16 to 26
- don't control other people's characters
- ask permission before hurting another character
- actually read these rules before asking to join
- hmmm what else is there…
- that's all I can think of for now, I'll probably update this later
- EDIT: OCs only
- EDIT: No Mary Sues
- EDIT: please avoid one liners… you aren't expected to write a paragraph every time it's your turn, but keep away from single sentences
What I'm trying to go for here is a space that people can vent through a character, or literally just whip out their depressing characters. Be caring and helpful, have fun, write your heart out
I'm trying to slowly inch towards happiness for each character, like, starting out really depressed and working towards getting happier with the help of other characters
I'll put up a template if anyone actually decides to join this
