The Roleplay
══════════════════════════════

Story

[TABLE="width: 950, align: center"]

For many, many centuries, parents have woven the tale of a magical and wonderful man, a man in a red suit and a very white beard. On one very special night, this man circles the entire globe, giving out presents to the good children of the world who deserved it, and then leaving coal in the stockings of the children who were bad. ​ This man, many have debated, is not real. Perhaps he was once real, a verylong time ago; the man St. Nicholas, and from there, the story evolved. Many say, these days, that the very special night that gifts were given has become a commercial event, a chance to earn profit,and many have seen chance in that and have taken advantage of it. Others have treasured the time as one for family and friends, for gathering, joy, and happiness. ​

However, there is the night before this momentous occasion, the Eve.

For years, perhaps centuries, no one knows, something very magical has happened on the Eve. A mysterious train that only a few handfuls ofpeople alive today have seen appears in the neighborhoods of children to take them on a journey, a journey to a place where only children believe in. To the day they grow up, they always believe and continue to urge their own children to believe, believe always. ​

The powerful locomotive is dubbed The Polar Express, and every year on the Eve, it makes its journey to the North Pole to see Santa Claus. [/TABLE]

[TABLE="width: 700, align: center"] • This is a PG-rated role-play, and you are among children, this is not a teenager kind of thing, all foul language will be kept at an absolute minimum, if existent at all. • There is absolutely no intense romance of any kind. Innocent hugs, kisses, small crushes at the very most. • No less than four sentences per post • If you have read all of the rules, please add on to your post, in #78a7a7, “Believe”. • No godmoddery is allowed • I will godmod to the RP's content to move things along, times will be continuously changing and only I will completely change and create major events • This roleplay requires dedication, because since it simply takes place over one night, I will not see it go unfinished. I will be contacting participants of said roleplay so we can get this done. [/TABLE]

[TABLE="width: 700, align: center"] Train Conductor [played by Saxima]

This is the man behind the Polar Express, he is the one who keeps the locomotive running smoothly and on time, he takes care of all of the children and tends to their needs as they come. He is a very sternman on the surface, but spend enough time with him and you'll find he's quite whimsical and kind. He firmly believes in the magic andwill stand by it. ​

Santa Claus [played by TwilightBlader]​

The jolly old man himself, he won't actually make an appearance until towards the end of the role-play, and trust me – this RP will get to the end. Each year, one very special child will receive the first gift of Christmas, and this is for Santa to choose who he deems most worthy.​

Accepted OCs
[TABLE="width: 600, align: center"] Username: Saxima Name: Sophia Carmine Age: 10 Gender: Female Appearance: Here. Personality: For a long time now, Sophia has always been a quiet and studious girl, always doing what her mom and dad told her to because she always wanted to be a good girl. She always loved the stories about Santa and the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny, but somewhere in the back of her mind, she always wondered about the mechanics of such beings existing. She didn't really believe in magic, and knew that there was a logical explanation to pretty much everything. Her parents, however, always wanted to continue to believe in the magic that were these people who brought and spread happiness to children.

Whoops. “Believe” I did read the rules, and planned to put it in there at some point.....but then I forgot. Sorry about that. XD

 

Your character is accepted, and thanks for signing up!​

I'm afraid I can't quite accept your character yet, FKB.

It seems that you haven't read the rules at all, or haven't read all of them. Once you have, please edit your post to add the one thing you're missing.​

Your character is accepted ~

All I need from you is for her to have a last name, thank you.​

We need two more people to get this show on the road.

Hopefully, we can start tomorrow!​

 

I had intended to post earlier, but then I got a little caught up with life.

In order to begin, I stress, we need two more people. Please, if you're interested, join. c:​

I considered joining, but will be gone come a week for an extended period of time. Seems a tad pointless to, then, and pointless still (because the minimum requirement seems to have been met). Seems like a fresh idea, interesting, might keep up-to-date with despite my not participating.

 

Oh that's too bad, laria. I don't think I've ever seen you RP before and it would've been pretty....uh...cool(I guess?) to RP with you.

 

Your character is accepted and you have send me your word, thank you.​

Your character is accepted, but you haven't sent me your word, please get on that.​

I'm tempted to not let you join, for a few reasons, but it seems really . . . special that you even considered joining in the first place, since I've never seen you take an interest in this kind of thing. Perhaps it's to challenge my claim on your imagination, perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

If you would like to join, that's your call.​

 

If you would rather refuse my joining then rejoice, for I can't anyways, will be gone soon which would be detrimental to this thread's progress. One person on leave, everyone else on halt. Won't risk that. It occurred to me too that you would think so, that I was challenging-- but no, the interest was sincere. You are reading too much into it.

 

That's that then.

I will have updated the OP, and then as soon as itachillives741 sends me his word, I will post the RP and the starting post.​
