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
Kim Jongin was born and raised in Seoul by his young, single mother, Park Hyunju, who is currently a veteran fashion designer with 30 years of experience in the industry. Jongin grew up with nannies and extended playdates with other children with parents in the industry. Not having a father like the others was always a chip on his shoulder growing up, but seeing that his mother was able to provide, succeed, and raise him on his own, he began to reframe the situation by retorting his mother was able to do everything on her own when it took their parents two people to do the same job as she did alone. Yes, Jongin is an absolute momma's boy, he had no other choice.
Naturally, with his mother in the fashion industry, Jongin was drawn to the arts as well. He wasn't studious in his studies otherwise, leaning more toward subjects where he could expression himself. He wrote a lot of poems and short stories as a teenager and even had an angsty longform story that eventually became his first project as a manhwa writer.
In college, Jongin majored in digital art with a minor in literature and found his career in his senior year when he and his current team created a manhwa based on a story he wrote in his teens. His first project lasted about four years and his second project is about at its four year mark as well, though currently on hiatus due to current events.

current events
Jongin could have never guessed the identity of his father until he received word of his passing. A mafia boss? This explained why his mom laughed so hard when she heard what the manhwa he wrote was about: Mafia. Could she have at least let him know? Honestly, this was almost as embarrassing as it was shocking. "Go to the funeral," She said, "What's the worst that can happen?" What's the worst that can happen!? As soon as Jongin got there, he was treated as some kind of royalty by people who called themselves his family. He thought this was just the way they rolled until the will was read and he found out, belatedly to the rest of the family, that he was now the new head of this small town mafia.
| Mom... Dad... COULD YOU AT LEAST WARN ME BEFORE
| YOU PUT ME IN THIS POSITION!?
But, how could they have known this would happen so early? Well, Jongin's father should have known with the occupational hazards he faced, but after thirty years, he found it hard to pop into Jongin's life to be like, "Hey, son! By the way, you wanna lead a gang?" No, he'd rather die before doing that... and he did! Good gracious, what did Jongin do to have such irresponsible parents?
This all was a lot to take on at once and, frankly, Jongin had prior engagements to handle back in Seoul, so he wasn't keen on accepting his role in this family business. He really wanted to reject it all and go back to his normal life as a manhwa writer and leave this all behind, but... he'd be lying to say he could just leave like that. He spent thirty years without knowing his father, only to meet him at his funeral. To say he didn't want to know more about his father would be a lie, and the driving motivation for him to stay in Haepung was finding out he had a younger half-sister, Minji, who was a convicted felon after murdering her ex. He couldn't just let her stay here in this town alone. Now that their father was gone, she was his responsibility... and he really did not want her to get in trouble again.
To call himself the head of the family right now would be premature. That was the title he inherited, but now Jongin is on a journey to understand what about Haepung is worth getting his hands dirty to protect.

career
Jongin's career as a Manhwa Writer began in his senior year of college when he published the story he wrote as a teenager that unleashed all of his angst into a violent manhwa about a chaotic main character who fights against the injustice of the underworld. (Loosely based on Revival Man) Jongin wrote the storyboards and designed the characters, while his team of friends [connection alert!!] polished the final product with final tracing, coloring, and background art. Originally, this manhwa was a senior project created to graduate, but the public liked it so much, it became his career. Jongin and his team spent four years serializing this project until they decided to move onto their next project about a man who returns to Korea to take down the country's underworld influences (Loosely based on Castle). Their second project is currently on hiatus as Jongin mourns the loss of his father. However, now that he has the family business to take care of, he's wondering how to break the news to his team and if he can balance both careers.

Park Hyunju, age 50, mother: Hyunju is Jongin's mother. She's one hell of a MILF with a spunky, young attitude. She raised Jongin all by herself as she navigated through her career in fashion. She didn't tell Jongin much about his father while raising him because he never asked and she never felt the need to let him know that his dad was a er -- or, the head er. The reason why she didn't stay with Jongin's father? She's not the type to commit, especially to a dangerous guy like that. Alimony was good enough for her. Honestly, she meant to let the two meet someday, but time just went by so quickly and she didn't expect him to die so unexpectedly. He should have said something, honestly.
Kim Minji, age 20, half-sister: Jongin spent his entire life not knowing he had a half sister, but what surprised him most was that she was a convicted murderer... The family business alone was surprise enough, but now he feels responsible for this tiny little murderous baby. First order of business: get her a babysitter so she doesn't get herself in trouble... or worse, drag the family into trouble. Kim Minji, we get that you murdered your ex in self defense, but you don't have to do the dirty work yourself anymore!! We literally have paid goons to take out the trash!! Murder again and I'm having the lawyers put your inheritance on hold until your frontal lobe is fully developed.

Description
— hyunwoo arrives in haepung following the death of his father, who is the head of a gang in haepung. although the gang is relatively small, they've been an integral part of haepung's history from the very beginning and power passes down hyunwoo's family to the eldest son. the issue is hyunwoo never knew who his father was. he was raised by his single mother in seoul and never even had a second thought about getting to know his father and to be put in a position of power to a gang was honestly laughable to him. he's just a normal young adult living a normal life after all. however, his mother urges him to at least visit haepung and go to the funeral knowing just how important the town was to hyunwoo's father and wanting him to see the only gift his father would ever give him.
— once in haepung, hyunwoo is introduced to the family business as if it's just a normal corporation. and, honestly, it sort of is on the surface. their main priority is to keep haepung safe, just by any means necessary. it's nothing like hyunwoo imagined and actually seemed like a sensible place to have a career, you know, minus the federal crimes that are covered up with powerful figures in the community. here, hyunwoo finds out there are multiple factions working in haepung and not all of them get along. they especially don't get along with the yakuza, but reluctantly accept their resources that they don't have themselves. hyunwoo is advised to be cautious around them, especially since their heiress is rumored to have come to haepung for shelter.
