Welcome to Love Letters, a game for those who seek to find their true love.

The game will take place over a year-long period, where 16 players will be sharing living quarters in a communal mansion. Work will still be attended for those who have jobs, and all other time will be occupied in the mansion save for when special activities and challenges are offered! The mansion offers many amenities, between the necessities, all the way to the likes of a pool, a game room, and a climbing gym. Any favourite pastime you can think of, it’s here!

However, it’s inevitable that sometimes you’ll want to get out. Your chances to get out for things besides work will be, in the spirit of the game, for dates, whether by choice or by challenge. Players will at the beginning of each week be granted a small allowance to be used on those dates. Meals will be prepared by housemates, but the ingredients will be provided by the hosts. At the end of every week, a new challenge will appear in the form of a letter left on the kitchen table. It is mandatory for all players to engage in all activities unless otherwise specified.

The goal of the game is to get out of the mansion before the end of the yearlong period. How does one do this? By succeeding, of course, and finding their perfect partner! Be careful in choosing partners though. Once the two of you have left the house and the game, you may not return. Those who have escaped the house before the year is over will receive a monetary prize of 30,000$, and housing for themselves and their partner, should they so desire it.


Game rules:


1. Do not leave the mansion save for work, challenges, and dates.

2. If asked on a date, a player may not refuse unless they already have been set up on that day for a date prior.

3. Participation in challenges is mandatory unless otherwise specified.

4. Once contestants leave the mansion with their partners, they may not return to the game, even if the relationship doesn’t work as they expected.

5. Players will all share one room, but are entitled to privacy should they so desire, and will have a curtain to pull around their bed for sleeping and changing. Violation of this privacy will not be tolerated.


RP RULES


1. Be respectful to other players.

2. Bring problems to me via PM, NOT in the discussion space!

3. Plot twists and such should be discussed with me before being put into play.

4. No godmodding/powerplaying.

5. Harassment of other players will never be tolerated.

6. LGBTQ+ friendly! Please be respectful.

7. All Tess' rules apply at all times.

8. You can make up to 3 characters to start, we'll see how numbers go. If I don't see you posting all of the characters you've signed up with new posts consistently, we will delete the characters you aren't posting as and notify you of such.

9. The mods control the weather, passage of time and big events.

10. Your sign-up needs to be approved by one of the mods before you start roleplaying that character. Any character who is posted before they're approved will be automatically ignored and we will not accept that sign up.

11. You cannot play as your own partner. Former partners are alright.

12. We're steering clear of darker subjects as this is a PG-13 site (examples of dark subjects include, but aren't limited to: self-harm, suicide, abusive backgrounds/domestic violence being mentioned, and forced relationships.)

13. If any of the above rules are broken, there will be a warning and a 3 day ban. If a second offence is committed, there will be an immediate permanent ban from the RP.

14. Sign up using the form we provide. You may add to it if you like, but don’t neglect the important information on the form provided.

15. Rules are subject to change.

16. Upon joining or having questions about joining (or pm me for the latter), please mark the discussion thread, as that’s where polls and announcements and recaps will go.

17. Please please PLEASE don’t chat in the sign-ups thread. Period. The ONLY things in there should be forms, marking to make forms later, and acceptance from a mod.

18. Please try to post at least once a week. If we haven’t heard from you in two, I will message for a check in. If a month passes with no word, your character will have been assumed to have left the house as a quit or as an emergency, and will not be able to return. We ask for commitment. If you must leave for longer, you only need tell the mod (sunhorse99) and give a general idea of when you think you’ll be back, and interactions will be moved away from your character, who will become an NPC and remain in the game and healthy until your return.

19. Reservations last a week.

20. House rules may be broken for plot points. These should be brought to me first.

21. Interaction with more than one character is required, and if it’s not happening this will be reinforced through the activities.

22. Please no pets living in the mansion. Two or three service animals (in the game, not per person) is permissible. For those who play characters with service animals, the reason they have said service animals should come into play now and then. This is absolutely not an excuse to keep a pet in-house.

23. If an RP partner has been away for more than a few days (for me I tend to say 4-5, but it varies person to person), please move your character along to a new interaction.

24. Ages should range between 20-26.

25. While this is not expected to be a semi-lit, many folks RP to improve their writing and experiment, and they can’t do that off of incredibly short posts. 3+ lines per character each post, please. Writer's block is understandable, but you need to give your RP partner something to work off of.

26. Please no pre-arranged relationships, as challenges and dates in the early phases will be completely determined by rolling dice, and it REALLY throws a monkey wrench into things to have to work around an individual player's ideal scenario. In the end, characters will fall in love of their own accord, that won’t be randomized, but during the course of the RP, things should develop naturally.

27. No more than 3 pages tops until everyone's posted. This is not a 1/1 and we don’t want it looking like one.

28. Due to it being dice rolls, there will likely be some instances where same-gender characters are paired for activities and dates. [i]This does not mean they have to fall in love. If it’s not a person one may hypothetically be interested in, sometimes these dates are great just to forge a friendship!

28. Put a 👍🏼 in 'other' if you’ve read and accepted these rules.[/i]

[sunhorsestar]

Name: Luciano Romano De Luca (Luke by close friends)
Age: 26
Gender: Male

Personality: Luciano is a very serious and analytical man, who makes quick judgements. He can appear aloof, professional or formal, and distant on the surface and usually does not express a lot of emotion. It takes a lot for someone to earn a place in his heart. His mother worried he may end up alone due to this, which is how he ended up coming to the game. Luciano largely lacks empathy and remorse for his actions, saying what he thinks, regardless of how it may make other people feel. He simply doesn’t care.

Luciano has a soft spot for animals though. He hates admitting that he loves small furry things. Luciano can be quite selfish at times, and trust is difficult for him. Once someone has his trust, he will be loyal to the bone, but once his trust is broken or he’s decided he doesn’t like someone, it’s incredibly difficult to change things on that front.

Luciano can be bitter or become cold when he feels he’s been wronged, and will hold grudges in the long term. He’s one for tradition. He joined the armed forces because of family tradition, and when he makes a promise, it WILL get done. If nothing else, Luciano is reliable.

When Luciano genuinely cares for someone, he will do ANYTHING for them. If they asked him to bring them the moon, he would find a way to do so. He has a hard time expressing things— including his care for his loved ones— verbally and does not talk much, preferring to express it through actions. He seems to be fond of twisted and dark humour, and by people who like to pretend that they know everything, and will occasionally use dark humour at the worst moments.

Luciano may not show it on the surface, but there is a soft side to him, a side that wishes for someone, be it a partner or just a friend, who can bring out the more upbeat side of him, rather than simply his cold side. Someone he can trust and show his softer, more loving side to. That’s exactly what he’s in the game for.


History: He doesn’t talk about it much. What IS known is that Luciano came from a rather wealthy family, and he doesn’t mind flaunting it a little. That said, he was determined to get out in the world from a young age. With his father's permission and support, he joined the armed forces at age 17.

He served in the armed Air Forces for eight years before coming to the conclusion that he was just going through the paces, following the family tradition of men in his line. His true calling was in the category of creativity, and he surrendered his contract to instead focus on his passions and pursue woodworking and carving. At age 22, Luciano moved out of home for good and currently resides in a small townhouse, despite his parents' offer of money for better housing. If he’s going to go for something like that, it’ll be anything but taking his parents' money.

Sexuality: Bi

Career: Air Forces (former), Woodworker (current)
3+ Hobbies: Firing (archery, throwing knives, handguns etc.), woodworking/carving, composing music, poetry
Allergies: Dog hair
Special Skills:

Agility and stamina due to training
Sharpshooter
Well tuned fine motor skills
Speaks French and some Italian


Appearance: Luciano stands 6'3, with a muscular but lean build, black hair stopping at the ears. He has dark olive skin and dark greenish brown eyes, and tends to wearing black or grey clothes, generally semi-formal even for casual events and regular wear.

[sunhorsestar]

Name: Kassandra Olivia Katherine DeMarks (Kass)
Age: 23
Gender: Female

Personality: Kassandra on the surface is a very confident and fun-loving young woman with lots of energy. She’s a general flirt to men and women alike that she finds interesting, or wants information from, and enjoys engaging in that way. She’s quite selfish, and will stop at nothing to get what she wants and needs. Kass carries an air of authority with her, even when not in a position of power, and isn’t afraid to act like she’s the top dog when need be. She’s not afraid to twist morals and ethics around if it benefits her. Ultimately, despite her social and cheerful surface, she is loyal only to herself and who she considers to be her family. If anyone else stops being useful, she'll have no qualms about turning her back. Kass is not a trusting or forgiving person, and it takes quite a lot to get her to open up to her more vulnerable side.

On that soft side, Kass is sensitive. She’s incredibly emotional, bottled up years of pain and worry that she tries to keep to herself, pushing people away when they get too close. Fears, doubts, self-loathing when she’s at her worst, and it’s a lot to take, but she also has a side that’s genuinely affectionate and wants attention. A side of her that will find trust in someone and whom she will be undyingly loyal to, whom is the one person outside her family she feels is worthy of seeing both the good AND the bad, and whom is worthy of her trust and respect. This is why she relented to join this game, at the bidding of her best friend.

Kassandra values strength and hierarchy above all else. Honour? Bah. Unless it serves her or her loved ones, what does it matter? Once Kassandra's true colours are revealed, she doesn’t try to hide them, but lets people do what they will with that information, for as far as she’s concerned, she is who she is, for better or for worse. She’s not all bad though. She has a genuine care for youngsters, and will gladly act as a mentor for those younger than her, though whether her mentoring is GOOD is debatable...

Kass likes big parties, and having fun, sometimes even playing pranks. She doesn’t like super serious situations, but won’t shirk them. She can be quite aggressive when needed, though she dislikes that side of herself, personally. She’s very independent and wants her way, and even if she has to work to get it, once she’s set her heart on something, she’ll go above and beyond for it. Is she selfish? To say the least. She’s aware of it too, and has certainly embraced it as part of herself. However, she’s also aware of her sweeter and gentler side, and when the chance presents itself and she finds she can place trust, it’s that side she prefers to show.

History: She'll tell you if she trusts you, but it saddens her, so she dislikes talking about it. All she lets on is that she had a little sister she loved very much, and came from a well-off family.

Sexuality: Pan with no lean
Notable Family: Isolda Annika Alyssa DeMarks (younger sister)

Career: Fashion designer
3+ Hobbies: Sketching, Baking, Swimming, Painting, Singing
Special Skills:

Navigation
Can read French
Weaving

Appearance: Kass stands at 5'7, with long black hair usually kept loose, done into a braid for fancier occasions, most often. She has caramel skin and dark blue eyes, and can usually be found wearing clothes tight to the skin, or a short dress. Stylish more than comfortable.

Other: 👍🏼

[sunhorsestar]

Name: Kazill (Kaz) Smith
Age: 23
Gender: Cis Male

Personality: Kaz can be brash and coarse on the surface. He says it how he sees it and that’s that. If other people don’t like it, they can bug off. He takes pride in what he does, and he tends to be a bit boastful and can be very loud. He likes people too! He can be very caring and generous towards the people in his life. He’s not exactly clingy, but he WILL go out of his way to interact when a friend is around, and he on occasion loves buying or making little gifts for people. Pottery, flowers, books, food. Things like that, and when someone tells him something, it’s unlikely he'll forget. His memory is quite sharp.

Kaz is highly competitive and will take any challenge provided, regardless of how reckless it may be. He just can’t STAND the idea of coming in second place to someone on anything, and can be described as somewhat of a poor sport at times, depending on how much the challenge meant to him. He's an emotional guy, even if he doesn’t show it much on the surface, and prefers to carry that within himself, for emotions both good and bad.

Kaz is a bit reckless, and with it, foolishly courageous. He'll dive into things headfirst gladly, with no regard for the consequences, and often deny his own recklessness later, as he’s quite oblivious to his flaws. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, and mainly joined the game— with some prompting from a friend at home— out of the worry that he might end up alone. He only knows he’s not easy to get along with due to the fact he’s only held one long-lasting friendship in his life. That’s pretty telling.

If nothing else though, Kazill is loyal. Once you’ve gained his support, whether you like it or not, you’ve got it forever. Even when he’s upset, he'll still stand up for you if anyone ELSE decides to be mean. Kaz doesn’t always act his age, preferring to tend to a goofy, childish side more often than a mature one, though he does have both sides to his personality, and he knows— most of the time— when it’s time to take something seriously.


History: He'll probably share if you ask him. Once you get to know him a bit.

Sexuality: Bi with a slight male lean
Crush: Didn’t come in looking for anyone in particular.

Career: Mechanic
3+ Hobbies: Piano, Biking, Working with clay; Pottery.

Special Skills:

Skilled at pottery
Good at navigation
Fine and gross motor skills are very adept.

Appearance: About 6'2, with brownish red hair, dark green eyes, darkly tanned skin on a muscular build. Kaz is usually seen wearing a black leather jacket over a grey shirt, and wears jeans. He also has a bead bracelet on one wrist and a chain necklace with a half-moon charm on it.

Edited Devin’s form out since he is no longer in the RP

Name: Brenna Renee Williams
Age: 21
Gender: Female

(Please try to put at least 3 sentences) Personality:
Brenna has a positive attitude on life. Even though farm life settled her brother down for his energetic and rambunctious personality, she can NOT be tamed. She is energetic and always ready to jump head on into something. Though she is smart, sometimes her mind gets impaired with different things. Deep down she has high anxiety, but tries her best to contain it. Sometimes it gets bad to the point of a full on anxiety attack. Ever since she was around 12 years old, she started to get seizures and still gets them on top of anxiety attacks. One minute she is rambunctious and having a good time, the next she will be having a seizure. She has a service dog which ironically is called Rescue since he helps her rescue herself after a seizure and during/after an anxiety attack. She has a can do attitude and thinks nothing can be impossible for her, yet many things are if she is to anxious to even think straight. Brenna is kind and caring as well as generous. Similar to her brother, she doesn’t like people who are greedy and ask for every little thing when they have everything they could ever want. She wishes people weren’t that way, but such is life.

Brenna is not at all shy and is very outgoing. She can sometimes get a little bit flirtatious with people, but that just is her general nature. Though there is a more mature side to her than what she appears as. Brenna can be real sometimes and always know when she has gone a bit to far or is to much. She can be a bit to much for people at times, but she tries her best to tone it down. She is super energetic though which can cost her some good friendships. She likes to do lighthearted teasing sometimes with friends or people she somewhat knows and it’s not meant to be hurtful in any way. She loves to find ways to challenge herself and she is competitive. When I say she is competitive she is super competitive. Sometimes she is more competitive than what some people can handle. She really doesn’t care if people see her emotions since they are a part of a human and everyone has them. She knows if someone thinks she is weak, she can always stick up for herself and defend herself. She loves to play around with her pup Rescue when he is off duty, but understands when people want him to be put away somewhere since he is a ton of work to handle especially when he is still a puppy.

Brenna doesn’t mind telling of her past since nothing bad has happened to her unlike her brother who has a few bad things to tell in his section of history. She understands his concern of not telling his story so she just tells it for the both of them. She can get a bit talkative, but she means well. She gets excited when she sees a new friend potential in someone and yearns for it. She is a very social person despite her crippling anxiety she can get sometimes in different situations. She doesn’t have social anxiety which is why she is so social. She pushes her brother to be a bit more social, but she understands his decision fully and hopes to one day see him grow and start talking to more people and make friends she she isn’t the only one he has. She is glued to her brother since day one of her life beginning. With them being only 10 months apart, Devin being 10 months when she was born, she feels like he is her best friend. They have been best friends since the moment they were connected. She generally likes to draw and finds it calming to let her imagination and fantastical dreams she has flow onto a paper or into a story.

Brenna loves animals. Before coming to this place, she was a dog walker for people after she was off of work as a mechanic and after she was done being a mechanic to take an internship with a high school teacher. She loves everything about them and is always excited to see her pup after a long day of work. She loves to have interactions with other people, but don’t take her as a fool. She is smarter than you may think based on her energy. She is not gullible and will not take things lightly if you try to manipulate her. She loves to read and always have a great mind when it comes to reciting her favorite quotes or quotes in general from a book she has read before or is reading. On a friend aspect, she is sociable as previously stated and is very loyal. You’ll most likely hear her say, ‘I’m so glad were friends’ or ‘your the best’ or something along those lines. To sum Brenna up, she is energetic with a spice for life. She does have high anxiety that causes anxiety attacks and she does tend to get seizures, but that doesn’t stop her from being the person that she is. She is kind and caring and generous with her being super smart. She isn’t someone who would betray you. She is very loyal and shows that all the time.

[Decided to put a boy in, but if I feel like I'm going to have too much trouble (like I start experiencing too much writers block) am I allowed to remove him? Ill try my best, but if there's writers block there isn't really much I can do about it]

[sunhorsestar]

Man we’ve got a lot of characters allergic to bees! Also, would you be willing to change his last name so it’s not the same as Devin and Brenna's? And yes, if it becomes too much, you’re allowed to remove him, but you’ll need to come up with a reason for him to be pulled from the game. (Injury, severe and contagious sickness, family emergency etc.)
