is this still a thing?

Currently, this group is on hiatus because I don’t know if I have the help to run it but I am thinking about looking for additional help after my research trip this summer. I would love to revamp this roleplay, but we’ll see!

VALENTINE’S MIXER

Valentine’s is upon us and Skybourne is throwing a speed dating and speed friending event. This event will also take place over two servers. Here, on tumblr, there will be a general mixer over the duration of the event. This is meant so there is no rush in responses so that way if members do not have a bit of time they can set aside for speed dating/friending, they can still participate.

For the speed dating & friending, we will have a channel set up in our discord server and have ‘rooms’ set aside for specified members on certain days. We will also provide a few questions on the event description posted right before the event kicks off, but ultimately, how the speed dating/friending goes is up to you all.

This event will kick off on February 14th and go until February 19th. If you are interested in participating in the discord portion of the event, please fill out the following form and have it submitted to the admins by February 11th.

Event Information

Name: Character(s) Played: Event you’d like to participate in: dating, friending, or both (& specify for each muse) If dating gender preference: none, male, female, etc. (& specify for each muse) Dates & general time availability: be as specific as possible here, put as many days & times as you can be available for so we can match you up with more people if you’d like c:

Hey there dear members and lurkers, Admin Jackie here! I wanted to inform you all that I have a job out of the country that will leave me unable to roleplay or be on the main for the next two months (1/29 - 3/29), so if you don’t see me answering any questions on the main or roleplaying as either of my characters, don’t fret! I’ll be back! In the meanwhile, Admin Zoey & Admin Jo will be around and have some exciting things planned. 

One change that will be made during my absence is that original character applications will be suspended. Reviewing original characters takes all three admins so during those two months we will only be taking canon applications.

On that note, we have a survey all of our members should take for the upcoming event in February. The link is here!

TASK #8: Valentine’s Edition

Alrighty members, it’s time for another task! Since Valentine’s is coming up we figured that we would make a Valentine’s themed task. As always, there is no deadline for this task, so do it at your leisure.

For this task, we ask that members make a post that depict what their character’s dating profile would look like. It could include photos your character would use, what type of summary they’d use for themselves, what personality of person they’re looking for/qualities they look for in a person, how they message people online, etc. The sky is the limit!

This task kicks of now and may be completed at your leisure. Once you’ve done the task please tag it as: #skybourne:challenges so we can all see and admire your work!

Can character pages be a sideblog of one of my blogs?

Unfortunately, not. For picking up first characters, we ask that members create a main blog, but beyond that, second, third, etc. may be sideblogs. This makes it easier to keep track of blogs. But if you aren’t wanting to create a new email, we understand, and here’s a little trick to avoid that with making new tumblr accounts. So for instance, say my email is [email protected]. If I wanted to make a new tumblr, I could use [email protected] and it’ll still send the email to my main account! Here’s a slightly better explanation of that.

[skybournerp]

did you get any apps recently?

We have not! If you’ve submitted an application and it didn’t go through, try sending another one and if you don’t see a change in our application count, send us a message & we’ll get it figured out! 

[skybournerp]

prompts for Isaac Medina?

Of course! Here are a few but feel free to ask us for more if none of these spark your writing inspiration.

Isaac Medina:

You could write about Isaac’s encounter with villains that made him decide he’d never be a hero.

Isaac was a surgeon and loved his time as such, but a tragic injury to his hands caused by an attack kept him from being able to continue on that path.

For his undergraduate degree, he attended Skybourne, so you could write about his first time around at Skybourne.

You could write about Isaac’s first week back, settling back into Skybourne - being greeted by familiar and new faces.

You could write about Isaac’s approach to dealing with the injuries on campus.

[skybournerp]

i'm really interested in joining but how active is this rp?

We’re so excited to hear that you’re interested in joining! We’re a fairly active group right now with new posts on the dashboard pretty much every day along with almost always having someone on our discord chat online to plot with!

[skybournerp]

What age range can Lana Condor play?

Our rules allow for characters to be within 5 years +/- the age of the faceclaim. Lana Condor is twenty, but since this is a university roleplay, we’d say that she could play someone between the range of 18-25.

[skybournerp]

Would Ginny Gardner fit in anywhere?

We could see Ginny Gardner fitting as Charlotte Thompson or Natalie Thomas. Or, of course, she’d be welcomed as an original character. Hope this answers your question!

[skybournerp]

Are you releasing anymore grad students?

We do currently have 3 graduate student characters in the works but we aren’t quite sure when they’ll be released, hopefully not too far down the road!

[skybournerp]

Do tasks/challenges ever expire?

Tasks don’t ever expire so new or current members are always welcomed and encouraged to go back through challenges and do them at their own leisure if they feel inspired to!

sample in character: (SPIDERS TW)

With the vague buzz of apprehension in his skull, Perry followed his friends inside, the taunting “don’t be a bitch” still ringing in his ears. If he stumbled a bit over his own feet, that was no one’s business but his own. In the eerie quiet of the abandoned facility, his friends’ drunken laughter was alarmingly loud as they attempted to spook each other. Perry felt his heart rate spike with each peal of laughter that echoed back to him. This was wrong. They shouldn’t be here, but he wasn’t a bitch, dammit.  

           It was Travis’s idea that they should split up. Perry’s alcohol-heavy tongue couldn’t come up with a good enough reason to stick together, so he went along with it, breaking off from the other boys and going into the first empty room he came across. It seemed to be some sort of storage area. Perry dug through a few boxes, finding plenty of discarded lab coats and some dusty, but otherwise in good condition, beakers. In a cabinet, he found stacks upon stacks of files. He flipped through a few, but they were so cluttered with technical jargon, it was hard to make out much of anything. One file held details of an experiment-gone-wrong (if the “failed” stamp across the top was anything to go by) that had been done to a few rats, another detailed a trial done on a spider, and yet another mentioned something about a rabbit. Perry stepped away from the cabinet feeling slightly queasy. He’d had a friend go vegan last year and she had detailed animal testing in labs a little too in-depth to him.

           Perry decided his first stop in the facility had been a bust and exited back into the hallway. Making a left at the end of the first hallway, he found himself in a wing of the building that held the testing labs. In the dark, Perry missed the faded sign warning about radioactivity. As he pushed through a set of swinging doors, he was surprised to find that the equipment shining in the light cast by his phone’s flashlight was almost completely dust-free. Perry began to poke around the lab, peering into cages and tanks, looking for the remains of the animals once used for experimenting. Unthinkingly, Perry reached into a seemingly abandoned terrarium to shift around what once must have been a feed bowl and a sunning rock. What he wasn’t expecting was the spider that had taken up residence under the feed bowl.

           Letting out a loud swear, Perry shook his hand violently as he watched the spider skitter away to hide under the rock. Had he not been inebriated, he probably would have been more worried. Drunk as he was, however, his attention was easily pulled away from the spider when one of the guys called out for everyone to come see his find.

           Nearly an hour later, everyone had started to regroup in the main lobby of the facility. That eerie silence had fallen again, though this time none of the boys seemed willing to break it. None of the boys, that is, except Travis, who jumped out at Perry suddenly in the semi darkness. Instinctively, Perry raised his hands defensively, allowing a startled shout to escape his throat. At the same time, a bright blast of light flew out of his palm, narrowly missing Travis, and blowing out a window just over his shoulder. Heart still pounding, Perry turned his attention away from his pretend attacker and to his palm. His eyes would have been comically huge if everyone in the room weren’t also staring at his hand with equal shock and disbelief.

           “Dude,” Travis breathed, quiet for the first time that evening. “What the fuck?”

CANON CHARACTER APPLICATION

character name: Perry Lewis

sexuality (if up to roleplayer): [whatever happens organically]

hero name (if up to roleplayer): [I feel like Perry would also be undecided about this]

secondary choice: Sebastian Davenport III [I love his pretentious af name so much lol]

why this character?: I relate a lot to feeling lost after your parents split up, and I relate even more to feeling abandoned by your dad and wanting to act out. I would love to join Perry on his journey to controlling his powers, and learning how to find himself. Also Reece King is so pretty.

headcanons: -Perry feels abandoned by his father, despite spending every weekend at his house -Perry is allergic to bananas (and has a subsequent, related latex allergy)

additional connections?: I would love to have a rival/ enemy type character. Just someone Perry inexplicably cannot stand and the feeling has been mutual since the very beginning

anything else?: I might? Actually want to change his fc to Keiynan Lonsdale if that’s okay?

[skybournerp]

Can I change a canon nonbinary character's pronouns to be other nonbinary pronouns?

You absolutely may! Just note that in the ‘anything else’ section of your application and we’ll be happy to get that sorted for you.
