Here’s a small list of disabilities and health conditions I think would be interesting to see more of around the RPC, and all of them (and more) will be welcomed here at Kelowna! This is a mere way to spark ideas and I do not wish to see romanticizing or stereotypes based around these conditions or mental illness in general. Make sure you do your research and try and figure out in which ways a disability or health condition would change their everyday life! This post is pinned for easy access and will be updated as I come up with further ideas. 

Bipolar disorder

Learning disabilities 

Dyslexia/Dyscalculia

Development co-ordination disorder/Dyspraxia 

Mute

Deaf/hard of hearing

Blind/limited vision (Mute, Deaf and Blind all work under a spectrum and one may not be fully one thing - as in, a person may be partially blind and could still be able to see outlines and shadows but consider their vision bad enough to simply warrant calling themselves blind.) 

Wheelchair bound/In the need of wheelchair aid (It’s the same here! Some may need a wheelchair 24/7 to get around, others may only need it for longer trips outside of the house etc.) 

The usage of a cane or other aids to move around (They can mix it with having to use a cane for support when they don’t use a wheelchair or other type of aid.)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (This goes beyond being a compulsive cleaner, aka some might be obsessed with counting their kitchen wares or collecting trash on their way to places - always making them late etc.)

Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes (One does not need to be overweight to be affected by diabetes! It can either be passed down through biological reasons or due to bad habits.) 

Antisocial Personality Disorder (Usually what people know as sociopaths or psychopaths, but has been changed to APD to remove stigma. They’re not all murderers and bad people and some will grow aware of their own differences to others without APD and thus can get therapy to make sure they don’t harm or manipulate people.)

Autism 

High blood pressure 

Heart conditions 

Rheumatism

Burnout 

Paranoia

Amputee

Dermatitis/Eczema 

Psoriasis

Tourette Syndrome

Alright, I’ve definitely been dwelling on this for a little while now and I think I’ll be taking a break from promoting the group for now, as I’ve been at it since October and we can’t seem to gain any further applications. I don’t know if there’s something I could do to make the group more attractive, if so anyone’s more than welcome to reach out with opinions and pointers, however at the same time I can’t help but to feel like this group has most things people inside the rpc has been asking for over the past few years; as well as what I, personally, find appealing with groups. I do welcome and appreciate feedback, though! 

I’ll be back in January to try and give this one more go, as I’ll be busy the last week of this year, but in the meantime I’d like to request that those that have sent through an application and wish to stick around to let me know, as most applications are rather old by now and I have no way of knowing whose still around and who isn’t. Please do this before I come back in January, otherwise your application may be deleted as I’d prefer for the count to be up to date. 

I might also be on the lookout for a third admin, someone who can help me promote the group through shoutouts and updates on the main! I find my time lacking sometimes due to work and I don’t want to queue up a bunch of posts just for the sake of making the main look active when it isn’t. All in due time. If I don’t see you around for next year, thank you for applying and an even bigger thank you for people who have tried to help promote this group and wanted it to take off. It’s always appreciated to see that one reblog or boost! 

Take care everyone and Happy Holidays!

I’m stuck updating our wanted fcs list today, but only with disabled fcs and thus far I’ve reached to the letter H! I’ll slowly work my way through the rest of it, but I’m a little sick and it’s not doing wonders to my brain. 

However, I’m also here to throw a small note towards the people who have already applied to the group that if your character has a wanted connection of any kind, you’re welcome to submit them to the main! If I haven’t reached out to you with any pointers, you’re going to be accepted and I’m considering whether we should sort of accept the people we have thus far so that members can work on prompts, their blogs and whatnot while we wait for more apps. Feel free to reach out or comment on this post if you’d like to be invited to the Discord pre-opening!

I actually managed to finish the game (yay me) and I have vast opinions of the ending I got, but we’re not here to hear me rant about such matters. Instead I’d like to remind lurkers that we still need applications to open this place up and I’m willing to lower the apps needed before we start to around 7, just to actually kick things off, but before then we need to also proceed the number we got as of now! Kelownahq is a Discord oc rp for characters 30+, with a two week activity and two application formats to pick from. We welcome characters the rpc often tend to gloss over and ignore, among other things, so why not give us a go? 

[kelownahq]

I’m going to see if I can finish the last Witcher 3 expansion today, but in the meantime I’d love for us to get another application to get this group rolling -- because we really cannot start unless we get some members! Kelownahq is a Discord oc group for characters 30+ and we are extremely new roleplayer friendly if you haven’t been roleplaying on Discord before, as I want to build the experience along with my members. A jolly good time all around, big promise.

Ryan and Blake got married at a plantation my guy. 🤣 its on google.

I’ve heard that story yes and I ended up googling it again to refresh my memory but alas they’ve already apologized for it and didn’t try and pass the blame over anyone but themselves for being ignorant. You can find some follow up news in this article here, especially in case of Ryan Reynolds who seems to be working alongside black and native youth (among some) these days to help them succeed in the movie business. 

If you still wish to have him banned and find the apology lackluster I’ll add him. I’m not black myself so I can’t speak on whether the apology is good enough but alas I try not to drag actors too much if they actually go out of their way to fix their mistakes, rather than throw a fuss and pretend those calling them out is the problem. Blake Lively, however, seems to not get it as the article also states at the end and continues to romanticize the time of sl*very.

Hello tag lurkers! Kelowna is a oc Discord group for characters 30+ with a two week activity limit, and we would love to finally get some further apps in that inbox of ours! Our strive is to create a welcoming and diverse environment and thus some fcs we’re currently looking for are: Ayumi Hamasaki, Brian Michael Smith, Candis Cayne, Genevieve Barr, Jang Keun-suk and Peter Dinklage. If none of them strike your fancy we have a variety of trans/nonbinary fcs, fcs of color and disabled fcs over here. 

[kelownahq]

Why is Blake Lively on the banned list but Ryan Reynolds isn’t?

Hello, I'd like to start off my answer by saying that sending off questions such as these are extremely rude and patronizing, even if that isn't your intent. My banned list is a mix of banned lists given to us by RPHs and most have been inactive/not updated in quite a while and I, personally, do not care nor do I keep up with celebrities and have varied knowledge of who should and shouldn't be banned. The information I'm given is usually when people reblog something onto my dash and I only follow a handful of people these days, however I'd like to inform that there's a block of text above the banned list in which you can find this statement: "If you know a fc that fall under this category but don’t see them listed, feel free to reach out with some evidence and they will added as soon as possible."

I've banned Blakely Lively on various accounts, one being that she's been known to steal roles and credits from Native Americans although she's barely made claims on her heritage and most of those jobs could have gone to Native Americans who deserve it. A better way to phrase questions such as these would be to say: "Hi, I noticed you banned Blakely Lively but not her husband Ryan Reynolds although he's done x and y thing. Can he be added to the list?"

I have literally no idea or no memory of Ryan doing anything bad and if you wish to have him added I'm more than happy to do that, but I'd welcome some proof or pointers that would direct me to the issue. It’s more helpful and will spread some knowledge.

Another reminder that we have now added a BUNCH of new fcs with disabilities (all thanks to a friend who gathered a massive list to my cause, thank you!) and they all range from people with dwarfism to people with bipolar disorder to down syndrome! Do remember that we have no requirements on resources (outside of them being accessible) and as we’re writing on Discord gifs will be a person to person case. Some of the new fcs added are: Andrea Fay Friedman, Anthony Hopkins, Chris Burke, Deep Roy, Gong Yoo and Humberto Insolera! I highly encourage people to give these fcs a chance to shine and help them remove stigma surrounding disabilities as a whole.

I’ll be around today if there’s any questions or applications to look over! I know I’ve been a little on and off lately but I think I’m starting to crawl back to the side of the living, which has taken me far longer than I first thought. Still tired but I’m getting there. So, how about you consider joining this lovely and small Discord rp for characters 30+? I added a bunch of new wanted fcs last week I’d love to see claimed, such as: Aimee Mullins, Azusa Babazono, Casey Pieretti, Genevieve Barr and Katie Leclerc! These are all fcs with disabilities attached to them, please respect that if you decide to pick them up.

WELCOME TO THE TOWN OF KELOWNA, STRANGER

Kelowna, British Columbia is what the town’s 130 000 inhabitants would call welcoming, blooming and filled to the brim with opportunities of all scales. Its main industry of orchards has kept the town on the map of Canada since the 1890s and is today a local attraction for tourism, with anything between lush hiking trails to lead you forward into the nature surrounding the town; to the mysterious lake monster known as Ogopogo said to lurk beneath the surface of Lake Okanagan. It’s hard not to fall in love with the town, whether you be an older soul looking for a place to settle for life, or a younger spirit hoping to reinvent yourself.                         

                          Will it be your place to call home?

KelownaHQ is a Discord original character and town roleplay that focuses on muses of ages 30+, set in the ever so real town of Kelowna, British Columbia but with a mix of genuine and made-up locations to make the town seem more compact. Kelowna is proud to announce we are PoC and LGBTQA+ friendly, with a heavy focus on accessibility! Link to main is in the source. 

[kelownahq]

I haven’t been around for like two days and I’m sorry about that, work just fried me out and I needed a day for myself just to wind down and catch up a little. I’m around today though and tomorrow if anyone has any questions or want to send through an application! Kelownahq is a Discord oc group for characters 30+, with a two week activity limit and a focus on inclusivity and accessibility! 

[kelownahq]

Hey, out of curiosity, is this RP canon, OC, or both?

This is an OC roleplay only! 

[kelownahq]

I’m going to spend the next hour or so adding some wanted fcs with disabilities, so how about you come check us out and send through some asks -- or an app! If you know of any actors yourself with a disability (30+) that you would like to see more people pick up, you’re welcome to stop by and offer them up as a suggestion. 

[kelownahq]

I’m finally counting down the last hour of work, can’t wait to dig myself down in my bed. However, you should still give me something to do once I wake up from my slumber! I’d love to see some apps for fcs such as Maggie Smith, Pedro Pascal, Orlando Bloom, Anthony Mackie and Dominique Jackson. 

[kelownahq]

I’ll be around for the next couple of hours, if anyone has questions or wanna push through an app! I’d love to get the group up and going in December, and surely 7 more apps isn’t that much to ask for. We have two application options on top of it, one being a full bio and one being a headcanon based one! Go for the one that works best for you.
