Pearl 101
Premise
1 - Characters exist in this world with some amount of innate memory.
2 - Six houses must feed (on each other) and play their roles to best support themselves and to impress the Mother of Pearl and be admitted to paradise.
3 - This has been going on for a while, but you've got a good feeling about this year!
4 - Probably at some point, shit is going to get weird.
More Specifically
1 - App OCs or characters from published canons.
2 - All characters have no special abilities beyond what their role grants them, this means no being a black belt and no being a super genius.
2.5 - Depowering works more or less however you want. I. E. Edward Elric could either not have his automail at all, or he can HAVE his automail but it won't be any more strong or damage resistant than a regular arm.
GOSH WHAT'S UP WITH THIS? DOESN'T THAT MEAN YOU ARE BASICALLY PLAYING AN OC/AU AT THAT RATE?????? Yes, yes it does.
3 - Players may of course drop at any time, but cannot reapp the character as they dropped them. All reapped characters start brand new, with no memory of their previous time here, and probably not on the same family. Your mods, however, will be super chill about hiatuses so don't even freak out.
3.5 - You can kill your characters, but death = drop. In other words, if you choose to reapp them you will do so without memories of their previous time and no guarantee of getting the same family.
4 - All characters hunger for one of four things that they can only get from other people: lying (to others), bodily fluids, misery, violence. Satisfying their hunger grants them power (also counts as AC).
5 - Everyone has an RPG-esque role within their house, performing the actions of their role/not going against it helps their house rank up in the hopes of being admitted into paradise.
6 - All characters have innate memories to avoid a lot of boring 'what's going on here/why don't I know who I am' every time someone arrives and to encourage more active engagement in the world.
6 - Missing concepts - this world is all your characters know. Things that don't pertain to it isn't something they would understand. What is justice? What is a kitchen and why would you scramble whatever eggs are in them? What do you mean food isn't sex/blood/violence/misery/lies?? They feel comfortable in their knowledge of the world they live in, and don't know about things that aren't a part of that world.
7 - Events will occur twice a month and last for half the month. There will be no 'games' that require being at your computer at a scheduled time and staying for x number of hours.
