TGU isn't all set up like other roleplay forums. In Houses and Haunts, you get to create your very own setting for a roleplay to take place. Since every character is unique and has their own story, we aren't going to limit their location to just a single, fictional town. If you're a human, you can have your own house. If you're a ghost, you can have your own "haunt", which is just the word we use for a ghost's afterlife residence. Cool, right?
It's sort of like creating a character. You'll need to submit a Location Profile, and you've got endless options for what it can be. Humans can live in houses, apartments, dorms, penthouses, whatever. You can create their workplace, too, if you think there could be a good RP there (maybe they work at a haunted hotel? )
Ghosts and abstracts aren't required to have a single place to live, though that's fine if you want them to. They can live in a church, a home that someone else has moved into, an abandoned warehouse, a school... hell, whatever you can come up with will probably be okay, as long as it's a semi-realistic setting!
You'll have to submit a profile for a moderator to approve just be sure it's good-to-go. There really isn't much you can do wrong, but it's good to check, right? Things are a little more lax here as far as getting it approved goes, so you can start RPing in your location before it gets approved,
****but you absolutely have to have a profile at least submitted before you start!****
Once you get approved, there will be a sub-board made for you in the appropriate section and your thread, if you've already started it, will be moved there. From then on, you can just start your threads in your own miniature board with whoever shows up or whoever you organize to frequent your location! **Note: if you create a public location, all RPs are automatically open.
All houses and haunts need at least the following information.
Name: If it's a house, you can make up a street name along with the house's number. Same with apartments, just make up a name for an apartment complex and give the apartment number and floor.
If it's a non-residential place, give the name of it, simple as that.
Location: What town and state is it in? These can be fictional, it doesn't matter. Where in the town is it located, is it near any landmarks? If you didn't already give the address as the name, go ahead and list it here.
Appearance (3 sentences minimum): What does the place look like? Be as descriptive as possible, and talk about both the interior and exterior. Feel free to pay more attention to the places that people spend the most time in. You don't have to give a description of every single room, but don't feel like you shouldn't if you want to.
History: What has happened in this place? Every building has a past, some are more gruesome than others. Be as creative as you’d like! Feel free to provide links to stories, characters who are relevant, etcetera.
Like I said, that’s the bare minimum. You can and are encouraged to add anything you’d like to make it more interesting!
