Info that was already in the Interest Check:

Posting frequency: Once a week, with the next up in the posting order being freed to post if two weeks have gone by without a post from the previous writer. Nobody will be asked to leave the roleplay due to low frequency, but everyone can and will be skipped so the story is not stalled by someone's lack of time or other conditions that may make posting at the moment difficult or impossible.

Plot blurb: A family - parents, children and children's spouses and kids, depending on age - all live in their own land and have their own small family business in the land itself. Their land will be under threat of being taken for building of a road, or any other construction.
It will be up to the family to fight back and hold their ground. This will probably involve some drama, and subplots are a possibility.

Character sheet template:

Posting order: Shades - Vampire.Panda - Cotton - turtleteapot - Fain

Note: The posting order can be changed when needed. All one has to do, if they wish to post ahead of their normal spot, is to be sure to give the next person a heads up, and drop a note here letting us know you'll be posting next.

I recommend land, because it can mean so much more to people than a business can, although a business can be important. I feel like land can have more individual facets through the different family members, through family history, spiritual meaning, or simply be their way of life that they don't want to change.

Oh land for sure. I feel there's more of a communal feel to land, as if defending from an onslaught of evil. Defending a business seems a bit more...impersonal? Does that make any sense at all? xD

I agree with both there. Though a small business (think family bakery/family restaurant style) can also have its attraction, I like the idea of holding on to a lifestyle and several family traditions linked to their plot of land.

In the land idea, could the family also run some small business, like a quaint yet infamous bakery attached to the land? Perhaps having the business running on their land bears a strong cultural importance to the family's identity, and having something disrupt the land will take away from the feel and atmosphere of their humble shop. I like the sound of running a small business, but the land I think, as you guys have mentioned, should be the centre of the conflict, either way. ^^

Well, if the land is a farm, it can easily be their livelihood too (selling milk, cheese, eggs, baked goods, homemade sweets, what have you). And maybe they have been doing this for generations of the same family, that might work as a combination of both.

I like the sound of that idea. Would make anything that disrupted the land even more of a concern economically, considering the family would be unsure as to what was suddenly going to be built there. The plants that could've been sitting in its soil, since the beginning of the family name, suddenly in danger beyond their control - it would be pretty interesting to see how the members react, I think.

Yup! As soon as Cotton returns and Vampire.Panda has stated her ideas, so we can incorporate whatever new ones into the plot, I'll start on the part of setting up the roles in the family =)

I think the whole land with something like a small farm market kind of thing maybe?
A lot of farmlands make jams and stuff like that as well. So maybe have something like that?

Also, I wont be available now until late Sunday/Monday. :)

Great, that works. I'll add some stuff here, but I'll wait for both you and Cotton to return so we can start doing the plotting.

Back from wedding and blessed with wi-fi. Would you be interested in me roleplaying the eldest daughter's husband, Shadow Lady? I feel like playing an established couple would be fun. If not I would be willing to play the mother of the family or a son.

Welcome back! Hope you've had fun! The role of the husband may be taken (still waiting on confirmation for that, will probably have some tomorrow), so you may pick out either way or wait, it's really your choice. =)

I'm pretty interested in the role, so I think I'll wait, though it looks like the chance is small xD Thanks c:

I also hope you had a great time, Cotton! :3
If I can, I'd like to be a primary school aged son at around 8/9 years old? Either the youngest boy or the older sibling's child; perhaps the latter since there's talk of a couple happening there.
