OUR TOWN: The town of Royal, Louisiana has very little in common with it's name. A small manufacturing and farming town it is not even found on many of the maps of the area. It is not the kind of place you plan a vacation to and even if you did find yourself there by some twist of fate there isn't much to keep you. The townspeople have been there for what feels like forever, most of the families working at Royal's manufacturing plant that specializes in making airplane parts. Others are farmers who have owned the land surrounding the small town for decades. It is the kind of place that still holds town hall meetings and the citizens still look forward to the annual fourth of July celebration that happens on the square every year.
It is a place of hard working folk. It's a simpler life of what some people would say is a simpler time, but truth is even places like hidden away Royal still have their secrets. Some are buried deeper then others and some are just a matter of time before they come to the surface.
One of Royal's biggest secrets is the existence of the Kisatchie wolf pack. They have lived in Royal for generations now and thanks to their previous Ulfric, still live deep in the closet. They are the elephant in the room that everyone sees but no one wants to talk about, but when wolves have spouses, children, extended family, it is hard to keep even the best kept secret that way forever. They are a large part of the town though, many of their ranks working in the manufacturing plant. Now that the rest of the country have acknowledged the existence of supernatural creatures and the legalization of vampires, folk wonder if the small town will follow suit or if they will continue to pretend not to see what is right in front of their faces. Will Grey, the new Ulfric, change the minds of some very old fashioned ideals rooted as deep in the history of Royal as the trees in the National Forest or will the wolves be just another forgotten chapter in the history of a small, otherwise non-noteworthy town.
OUR CONCEPT: The basic concept of this game is to gather a small amount of writers with big ideas to help create the town of Royal. Through multiple characters, family connections, as well as the simple love of writing, Royal will grow and develop a life of it's own. Since it is a small town and since there are only two races (currently) to play, the hope is that it will encourage writers to create families; siblings, cousins, parents, as well as lovers, friends, and enemies and to create them with other writers.
Though there is no required word count for posts, we hope to create an environment that encourages creativity and the desire to write small novels. The idea is not to compete with other rpg sites, but to give an additional place where a writer can test out new character concepts, play with powers, try out relationship dynamics and simply let their imagination run free. Some characters will be main characters, some may have more of a bit role and only come out from time to time. There are no rules for posting requirements beyond we ask that you keep communication open with your writing partners. Let us know your writing style, whether it's a daily poster or an every other week sort of thing just so that everyone has realistic expectations.
