i say LA or NYC if everyone is HATING ON PORTLAND
nyc is awesome, although LA is actually a bit more unique for sites...i haven't seen many RPs set in LA in a looong time

I guess if it's gonna be a real city, I say LA too. And why's everyone gotta hate on Portland? I grew up in the 90's and miss it terribly. ;u; You guys are all missin' out, you youngin's you...

holy shit guys, drink some water... meditate... find peace within yourselves...
what edward said sounds perfect, yeah~ though i think the characters shouldn't be too far apart in age, variety is always good~
mid/late-twenties and up sounds ideal, i don't really want this to be a school/university rp...
okay so i was actually gonna say i like portland, fuck y'all. but i'm not too picky and for the sake of not drawing this out, let's just go with LA and if anyone has any strong objections speak now or forever hold your peace? i just don't really want to do anywhere that's really done a lot like NYC.
anyways the focus will be more on the building than the city, but i do want to have it set somewhere concrete because i think it's pretty important to characters - where they are, how they got there, how they feel about it, etc.
speaking of characters, how would you guys feel about longer/freeform apps? just because as far as developed, well thought-out characters, freeform helps me get a better idea of characters. plus like i said i want this to be long-term so i guess it would somewhat deter site-hoppers?
also names? i'm so bad at names? like if anything it could always just be ## street name (whenever that stuff gets decided), but if anyone has anything better please suggest??
frick like three new posts while i was writing this you guys are incredible.
lmao i like the idea of toronto, i mean i said it because it's nearest to me, but also nobody ever does toronto - or canada in general tbh. but yeah i'm basically fine with whatever majority wants.

toronto and LA both sound good to me.
i live in LA, the street names are simple really. they're mainly locations and lots of "hill" stuff and beachy names and some are named after oceans...they're really easy, tbh.
long apps are my favorites i think. i don't really mind freeform at all. especially with a more tight-knit site like this is going to be...you need diverse connections and kind of complicated history to develop deep/unique relationships with people. i find that if i want to plot with someone, i don't look at their plotter- i read their app. so apps are pretty important imo, yeah.
so for ages it's like...21-31 i'm guessing? but obvs it's best to try and keep it above 24 or so.
some cool streets in LA: olympic blvd (has some apts iirc) pacific blvd (more of a shopping district) sunset blvd (pretty famous) melrose avenue (entertainment district, i think some apts are here too) ocean avenue (santa monica, there's apts) valley blvd (somewhat asian community. businesses are here. asian apt neighborhood kinda thing) pico blvd (near the beach iirc. pretty. has some apts, not a ton. lots of sights/restaurants etc)
i know it's not about the town but those are some streets i remember being pretty cool and having a lot of stuff to do.

64 ZOO LANE!! im totally joking! But location i'd say LA is fine. I just feel like we shouldn't spend so much time deciding on it XD
Im all for freeform apps. you get to ramble about your character rather than have a set amount to fill out! its also a good way to express your muse. sometimes long apps drain my muse cause everyone else is all done, and im still trying to think up stuff for a long app. sooo freeform gets my vote!
Maybe Crazy Avenue?
Relationship Blvd? Honeymoon Avenue?

idk anything about LA so i google mapped the streets and i like the last three most~ melrose just makes me think of the soap opera haha man LA looks nice, palm trees n shit
but yeah we can set it up on one of those, the building we can just make up, just give it a random street address and we're good. pretty much a smaller moderate/high end building, with characters all (or mostly) on the same floor for ease of plotting.
i'm not really going to be too stringent on apps, like personally i don't really get the hang of a character until i actually start playing them, so like you'll be able to modify them and stuff later. but i do want to encourage people to be detailed and put a lot of thought into their character (not like too detailed tho please don't write 10000 words), like you only get one so make em good. anyways the app will likely be a freeform then~
it was mostly location i wanted opinions on, since there's not much of a plot to discuss until we actually start making characters.
probably like next week i'll have a skin or at least the start of one?
if anyone has any ideas/suggestions about anything yeah lemme know

I've been meaning to ask are we going animanga or real life claims? I'm not too picky about either one, so whatever the majority want I'll go with!
