Autumn Roast Companion

[Verdentwolf]

Genreral

Hey all!


So I've been playing around with this idea for a coffee shop RP for a while now. From my experience, it's a great and easy way to meet new people and have a fun time playing characters.


Now as to why this is in the Serious RP section over the Fun RP, I'd like for people to RP with some amount of seriousness and in regards to the setting for the RP. I'm not saying you cannot be wacky, just not too out there (ex: no superpowers, game enders, etc.). As far as story goes, ultimately, it's up to the players to decide where the story goes! The players could decide to meet up later for a night on the town, they could meet up for a game, they could even do a RP in a RP! It's all up to you.


With all the details out of the way, on to characters. There is no limit to how many people can play, but I do ask that if you don't plan on participating regularly that you at least create an exit for your character (no spontaneously disappearing characters!). Also, since the starting location is a business, people are welcome to play as an employee or manager (rules for specific roles are below).


If you plan on joining the RP please fill out this short Character Sheet:

Specific Roles


Some players may opt to take up a specific role in the story. Specific roles do have a limited number of available slots and it is first come first serve! If you opt to play a specific role, please provide information on what role you would like to play after filling out your character sheet. As of now, these are the specific roles available to players (depending on where the story goes, the list will be updated/ changed to suit the story):

Spoiler for Hidden:

Barista (3-4 slots available):
Your average, everyday employee for Autumn Roast. The barista's duty is to prepare drinks and entertain customers. Typically the Barista is the first person customers will meet upon entering the shop and the people customers will use to judge the establishment. Teamwork is a must to be a barista! Baristas typically stay behind the counter during his/ her shift except when cleaning or on break.

Manager (1 slot available):
The manager runs the Autumn Roast and watches over the employees to make sure they are performing his/ her duties. Unlike the baristas, the manager can freely roam the establishment and interact with customers on a more personal level. While the manager does have to power to remove employees, removing a player from his/ her position without just cause will be overruled by acting moderator.

TIP! Happy employees make happy customers!


Emergency Services (up to 5 slots available):
How would you like to be the one protecting the people? Feel free to pick any type of emergency service worker (officer, paramedic, etc.) but be warned! You may be called to duty rather suddenly!

NOTE: Just because you were called to respond to a situation doesn't mean your RP is over! Who knows, the story may follow you!

Any player not following a specific role is considered a customer or citizen and is not bound to perform specific tasks. Also, some specific roles can become customers/ citizens (baristas when their shift ends for example)!




Setting


The story begins in a modern day coffee shop in a rural town. More details will follow in the first post!

so uh....what happened with the posts?

They just finished updating the site. I can't tell what they did, but it's back up, and that's the most important part. Oh, and since nobody probably saw my first post because of the site maintenance, I'd like to join. I've RPd on other sites before, but this is my first time here.

[AleuLeLoup]

Is the forum up for good now? Is it safe to post?

[Reality Glitch]

Name: Eli
Age: 20
Species: Dragon (If this isn't allowed let me know)
Appearance (image links preferred): See my avatar
Personality: A high-functioning autistic how is kind and friendly.  He balances his life by switching between being a total spaz and actually being quite calm and collected.
Short Bio: Hello, I just moved here w/ my mother and am looking for a job to start building my independence and self reliance.  I hope being a big lizardy-bat-thing doesn't cause too much trouble, I'm actually quite sweet in my own  goofy way.

[EvilCorgi]

Name: Aaron Walsh
Age: 24
Species: Cat
Appearance (image links preferred): Grey, spotted with slightly-lighter grey. Short and thin. Not an imposing figure in
the slightest.
Personality: Timid and quiet, he won't usually speak unless spoken to. When he does speak, he's incredibly polite,
if not a little sarcastic. He's a lot more comfortable and relaxed (and less polite) around people he knows. He
could leave or enter a room without anyone noticing.
Short Bio: Aaron dropped out of college after performing poorly, and growing to dislike most of the locals. Knee
deep in debt, and without a decently-paying job, he turned to crime to pay for his living expenses. Naturally quiet
and dexterous, he found it quite easy to pick pockets and pick locks. The only hinderance was his conscious. Over
time, he had grown to hate his job, but he really wasn't trained to do anything else. He's been trying to "quit" his
current job, and find a new one for quite a while now, with no luck.
This is my first RP, so please tell me if I'm doing it wrong. I've RPd on other websites, just not here. On an unrelated
note, would the coffee shop be hiring for any reason?

Is tis still a thing at is happening? 

[Krimson]

Can't lie, I find this really unique and interesting. If it's not too late ((PM me or something to let me know)) I'd like to join.

Short Bio: Just an average guy, trying to rack up enough money for college, and make myself a place in the world.

Is the RP dead or what? Should we just start posting?

[Reality Glitch]

Yeah, what gives?  This look promising.

[EvilCorgi]

Should we just go create another thread? I think this one keeled over and died. If you made a similar RP, I'd join.

[Reality Glitch]

I wouldn't know how to GM  that for the life of me.

[EvilCorgi]

Eh... I could, but I never have (here). I tend to have a no-touching policy for RPs. If someone wants to go somewhere, they can go there (if it makes sense, no teleporting to the jelly-baby planet) but that tends to mean that I end up not really being in charge. So... I could? Probably?

[Reality Glitch]

(if it makes sense, no teleporting to the jelly-baby planet)

There's a jelly-baby planet!

[EvilCorgi]

Yes, there is, but you can't go there. That would be silly.
