Welcome to Florida. Life isn't so well for you currently, is it?
This interesting RP focuses on the lives of those who are deemed broken, misfits or just plain damaged characters. All of these unsavory bunch are living together within the shadow of Orlando, as they try to make ends met at a rundown motel known as the Dreamland Motel in Kissimmee, which had gained a pub at the establishment to be run. There is no overall goal, other than to engage in schemes or some other mischiefs for the sake of one's gain or for another reason.
Here in the Dreamland Motel, the notorious manager has started to let people use the motel as an apartment, where your character currently resides. Your character has their own story to tell on how they ended up at rock bottom within a now forgotten stretch of tourist traps. The world outside one of the most happiest places on Earth does have an interesting story to tell, but for your character, they live in the thick of it.
Setting In A Drunken Nutshell: This RP is set in a world 99% identical to our own. The main difference is that life seems to be complete s$#% for nearly everyone, as the setting is a sarcastically cynical and nihilistic version of our own reality. Imagine living in Liberty City or Los Santos, where everyone is a complete dick. In this RP, most of the NPCs you might have your character interact with will either be vain, amoral, illogical, ignorant, rude, self-absorbed, crude, hypocritical, or is just a complete dick. While some real-life events might be mentioned, some things will be given fictional names, even if one knows the reference.
COVID-19 doesn't exist in this timeline, however a societal disaster of a major economic meltdown has happened, which caused people to lose their minds. A quick rundown is that NFTs became popular more early in 2020, but this caused a bubble to form, just like subprime mortgages. Along with several other economic-related mishaps, the economy went into a recession briefly in 2020, though it would only steadily increase. Gas prices were briefly expensive, but are being lowered slowly. Random crime and terrorism rates seem to be on the rise, however. The current date of which this RP starts is July 11th, 2021.
There is no real goal, as the RP is meant to be slice-of-life with some black comedy on the worst aspects of life. Think of it as an exercise to develop your character. A character with many flaws and trying to get by.
Rules:
1. No Godmodding, FailRP, or Metagaming.
2. Even though some mature themes will be present, this RP will be focused on being PG-13 as much as possible. Anything that might skim the line must be covered up with a spoiler.
3. As OP, I get final say on things. I'm responsible for most of the things in the IC, so while your characters are free to do whatever suits their narrative, I serve to make sure that some of your character's decisions have consequences. I'm allowed to deny an app or forbid any people who might prove to be a problem visibly from attending. I may appoint a CO-OP, if necessary.
4. Please get along in the OOC for the sake of world peace.
5. Please make sure your IC post are in your finest quality. I will excuse some minor grammar mistakes (we all make mistakes), but if your post is a complete mess in terms of quality or doing an one-liner, then there is going to be a problem.
6. Since this is a character RP, there is no need to create maps. The whole RP takes place in Kissimmee, Florida. Which means you can easily rely on Google Maps for more information to help make your posts immersive. An important note is that the Dreamland Motel is replacing the Magic Castle Inn, which the Dreamland is based off of.
7. It's illegal to not have fun.
