Kinship: an 18+ fantasy/scifi humanoid pbp rpg

PREMISE:

</i> - and the resurrection of a meddlesome god named Valinor, who hadn't gotten the memo about the whole "sanctuary planet" thing due to a few-millennia long "nap".

[*]Much of the island's landscape is still a mystery we'll be working together to uncover; we currently have four areas unlocked, including the main town, a forest, a beach, and a mountain ring/savanna area. We also have relationships with five additional kingdoms, with the potential to expand the in-game world and playable areas further as we go along.</ul>

CURRENT EVENTS:
After a fairly laid-back version (our fourth since 2019) that ran from November 2023 to September 2024 and served as an entry point to the new island, allowing players the opportunity to have their characters start forming connections in a more peaceful environment, we really brought the chaos with version five!

</b>, our take on National Novel Writing Month! Players can set and track their own goals throughout the month and claim fun prizes as they hit milestones of all kinds.</ul>

ABOUT US:

[*]We are proudly LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent-friendly, and prioritize providing a safe and fun environment to all members. This includes offering reasonable accommodations, for example, providing new skins with adjusted colors, fonts, and/or text sizes to improve readability and accessibility. Just let us know how we can help!

[*]Our community is kind, patient, and supportive; we're all just here to have a good time and escape real life for a bit!</ul>

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

</b> We are not by any means an "exclusive" or "cliquey" community - we just want to write together and have a good time - but here are some key details you should know about our community!

    [*]Our activity as a site is pretty variable; while there's almost always someone around to post with, our players come from a wide variety of backgrounds and may be temporarily pulled away from the site due to real-life complications related to their mental or physical health, jobs, school, familial obligations, etc. There are a variety of options available to keep you entertained while you wait for replies, but patience is always appreciated!

        [*]We might make a great secondary site for people who are already participating in another game, or can only post a few times a week/month due to other commitments!

    [*]While we are a literary RPG and some of us are published authors, we don't take ourselves too seriously. We aren't expecting anyone to be perfect, and we don't judge if someone wants to explore "tried and true" tropes, practice new writing styles/formats/perspectives, or create a truly wild and "out there" character.

    [*]As mentioned above, we are a diverse bunch, and we expect our players to be kind, respectful, and tolerant towards one another. Misunderstandings, miscommunications, and mistakes happen, but we always focus on working together to understand what went wrong and how we can fix/prevent problems to move forward as a team.

    [*]We welcome kind, constructive feedback - if there's something specific you'd like to see us expand, adjust, or add you can reach out through your private support channel at any time!

[*]Characters: We welcome any and all character types, but if it helps, here are some ideas that might fit in well with our current lot!
    [*]Adventurers: Treasure hunters, explorers, and mercenaries seeking fame or fortune.

    [*]Survivors: Refugees, crisis managers, and survivalists determined to carve out a future amidst the chaos.

    [*]Crafters & Creators: Engineers, traders, artists, and entertainers looking to be inspired by the untamed land - and put some coin in their pockets, while they're at it.

    [*]Opportunists: Power-hungry nobles, cunning thieves, or those looking to manipulate the island's uncertain future for their own gain.
    
    [*]Warriors: Battle-hardened fighters, military vanguards, or protectors who want to help stabilize and secure the island.

    [*]Transplants: Individuals from other worlds who have been pulled through to Kinship, and now must learn the ropes while trying to stay alive.</ul>
