NEW YORK CITY / REAL LIFE / SEMI-PRIVATE

be careful what you say, do, post; someone's always watching. retrograde is a semi-private jcink roleplay set in new york city that explores the consequences of private lives being made public. we're aiming for a serious, darker take on the old school gossip blog roleplay format, emphasizing the real world implications of public scrutiny, the impact of the digital age on personal privacy, and the fallout that comes with it. apply today and follow us for updates!

What are the rules surrounding FC's? Is there an age range or any no go's?

all face claims must be over eighteen years of age and have some form of notoriety. actors, musicians, signed models, and influencers who are either verified or have over 500k followers are allowed. deceased celebrities and those who have been accused of violent crimes such as assault or domestic violence are not allowed. also, we will not allow any erasure of face claims' identities. for example, trans face claims must be played as such.

[joinretrograde]

hi! here’s a list of the claimed faces as of right now:

cassey chanel

gabriel pitanga

inde navarrette

is the buzz gonna continue on discord or is the site opening right away?

there will be a short buzz period on discord to give everyone a couple of days to settle in, figure out characters/plots, etc. before we open the site!

[joinretrograde]

Do you mind if I ask how many apps you have received? Roughly how many people will you accept?

we’re happy with the level of interest we’ve received so far and are excited to see more apps roll in over the next few days before they close! we don’t have a specific number or limit to how many people we will accept, we’re just reviewing apps based on who would mesh well with the close-knit community we’re aiming to build!

[joinretrograde]

wanted to share a final preview of the site before apps close! we're sharing our profile app today, which includes freeform, shipper, and reputation sections not shown in the images below! these sections are totally open in terms of how you want to complete them- bullet points, prose, a mix of both, anything is fine as long as we get a good feel for your character!

also reminder that apps close THIS THURSDAY, JULY 16TH AT 11:59PM CST! we'll be doing a final review of apps then and plan to reach out to people on friday!
