How do I change my faceclaim?
Feel free to tag admins Bada & Baram in the CC room to change your faceclaim or name.
Can I change my occupation?
Go ahead and delete your original post in the occupation room and update us with your new occupation!
I want a new character!
An upvote is required for a second character and an ad blog is required for a third character. Please see ad blog requirements here. For every month you've been in the roleplay, you'll be allowed an additional character!
I'm too busy to be active.
That's fine! Take things at your own pace, don't bite more than you can chew. We're here to have fun! Activity shouldn't feel like a chore. Out of everything in your adult life, being active in a roleplay on a website you've been on since middle school (anecdotal example) is the last thing you need to worry about.
Do what you want and nothing more.
I need to go on hiatus.
Please update your profile to state somewhere that you're on a hiatus, whether it's on your wall, status, or profile layout, then post in the hiatus room how long your hiatus is going to be and how active you'll be on hiatus.
If you have absolutely no activity at all for over a month, us admins will put your character in hibernation.
I want to leave.
Please add Bada and Baram to a Group PM before you leave and let us know:
1) that you're leaving
2) if you intend to rejoin in the future
3) if you would like to close any of your businesses in the town, or continue to have them open with npcs (otherwise, they'll be closed IC).
Advice Corner with Baram
I don't remember how to write.
Trust Baram when he says he doesn't remember how to write either. That's okay!
Baram made this roleplay as a way to regain muse for the website and writing. Believe us when we say that a lot of rpers on the site are on the same boat as you if you feel as if you don't remember how to write. It's nothing to feel ashamed of and we're all here to support each other!
No one wants to write with me.
Are you sure about that? Before you come to that conclusion, be sure to work on your profile and connections, then take a look at open connections that others have open and see where your characters can connect.
You don't need to write together to connect and you don't need to connect to write together, but it helps to reach out to others in the roleplay and communicate the things you want to do.
Sometimes you just aren't compatible with people and that's okay! There are plenty of other people to reach out to. Don't feel like you need to make any major changes to your character or writing if you don't have the muse to do so.
I have no muse.
That's okay! There's no need to force yourself to do something you don't want to do, but we all fall into slumps sometimes.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself and feel free to linger around until something strikes your muse! Sometimes all it takes is one change for everything to click, sometimes it takes time to recover your muse.
It's not always something we can control and that's okay! If you need to leave and catch your breath, go ahead, we'll always be here to accept you back with open arms.
The chat goes by too fast and I feel left out. :(
It'll be like that sometimes, right! :( It's okay, baby, you don't always have to feel like you have to be super duper active to enjoy the roleplay!
If the chat is too fast, feel free to interact with people in dms instead, OR shoot your shot and wedge yourself into any conversations going on in the chatroom. People are more receptive than you'd think! Even if they aren't, we all don't always have time to divide our attention 8 different ways and that's okay, too!
If this becomes an issue, Baram will create breakout rooms for the chatrooms so people who want slower conversations can take a breather. However, since chatrooms aren't a key feature of the roleplay, this will probably be unlikely.

background
beomgyu does not remember where he came from. there was always only one thing that he does know, that the fisherman and his wife, who named him after their late son who was lost in the sea, are not like him.
it has been five years, they said. five years since they rescued him from the shore, clotheless, memory fuzzied with images of swimming bubbles and the ocean - and a tail from his waist down, instead of human legs. he doesn't know what this meant, and they've always told him to steer away from touching ocean water since.
he also doesn't know the reason he yearns for the vast blueness of the ocean. it's all he could think about everytime he wakes up - like there's something missing from him is hidden deep in the troubled waters, waiting to be retrieved, waiting for his retun. the seashore offers him great comfort for when he's alone, that he makes himself home there during the day, painting away at his canvas his adopted mother gifted him.
he's made some friends over the years, but none of them knew of his secret. rather, his parents told him not to tell anyone, for the risk of it all. there are opportunistic humans out there, his father said. you're better off living as one of our own.
true as it may be, each day, he finds himself getting closer and closer to the shore, drawn to the call of the unknown down there.
