#thinkrp is an upcoming 18+ jcink prem real life rp site set dueling fictional locations, just off the coast of georgia. there's the bustling city remington and sleepy town of sable grove - delve into their rich decades old feud and make your mark.
just a quick note that we will be opening #THINKRP officially at 1PM EST this upcoming, SATURDAY, MARCH 18TH! here is clock converter to ensure you know when that is in your timezone, but we are officially ticking down the hours until we can see all of your amazing ideas come to life!
we are a mere three - count 'em t h r e e - days away from opening! our team can't wait to share with you the world that we've created and for y'all to join in and build upon it with your own characters, requests, locations, and lore! today we're giving a bit of insight to our application process with our full app preview under the cut. we also have created a gdoc of our application fields so you can get a head start on some of your app prior to being on site. some of you may have caught that we revealed our graphic dimensions in our guidelines preview, but for a quick refresher, these are the image sizes needed to complete a profile:
• one 250px by 400px still image
• two 100px by 100px images
• one 150px by 150px image to be uploaded avatar (max 1024kb)
in addition to the above, our profiles include up to two optional 200px by 250px still images.
without further ado, say hello to the beautiful profile crafted by the talented, brilliant, incredible athena which has over 200 different freeform code options to enjoy!
✨ view more about our app below! ✨
something to note, right off the bat: you don't have to read all of this. i tried to be thorough and go over different options for everything, but if you just want the pictures, go ahead and grab them. the key part is filling out the nifty gdoc chels made with the fields, honestly. the rest is just an explanation at some of our optional additions, as well as how things will look.
first, our freeform section is optional. the way we handle our applications, we just want a good understanding of your character. we get that character applications are often something of a jumping off point, something that can be built off of. as such, if you don't want to do them and want to put the necessary amount of information to get that grasp of your character into your census, by all means that is allowed. if you do this, we just ask that you choose the "profile shipper" option. if you select yes to this dropdown, your census information will also show in your profile. keep in mind, our profile has no word count minimum or maximum, so long as you get that understanding across and have something in all the mandatory fields, we're good. that said, if you choose to do a freeform, here's an overview of the codes available to you to use in it.
first up, we have what we call our "sections." when using these, they add much larger components to our freeform area, and are their own profile segment codes. here, they add an additional section to your profile, instead of just text and designs inside of text. you can see some of the categories to choose from, but something to note for this part is as follows:
images are full page width, so if you use the long and wide one, we recommend the image being at least 1000px wide. there are smaller choices available.
our playlists & music category include codes where you manually put in the information, ones where you put in a spotify link, or ones that allow for a youtube link.
our other two categories are very development based. there's line breaks, percentage bars, search history, a more in depth interview option, aesthetic options, and more.
next, we have text. everything in this category is for how you display and style text. the text codes should be placed inside one of our text background codes, though some have been made to be used outside of them. here's quick run through on what we have here:
accents are stylings. we have two options for how you choose to accent font, notably divided by if you choose to utilize a gradient or not. each of these will have a different bold, italic, and underline. also in this section are options for padding text.
text breaks are options to break up text. some of these are lines based on your member group colors, some are roman numerals, some are font icons, and then some. it's just if you choose to have a formal break in the section.
images are image codes you can throw into the text backgrounds. these will have options of 1, 2, 3, or 5 columns, come in different optional color schemes (gradient, non-gradient, background color), and come in three different shapes (circle, square, rectangle).
playlists & music are all manual in this area, just because if you want to utilize a bigger playlist, we have those in the sections above. that said, there is a plan to further develop this section post-opening.
titles and subtitles for text are just, but with options for direct titles and subtitles, options for long text, and more. everything that encompasses your average fancy section division text is in here.
once again, our miscellaneous is some development codes. there are some aesthetic options, some zodiac options, just fun little extras if you choose to use them.
last up, we have our text backgrounds. these are the sections that house text, where you would use the codes in the previous category to style them. these come in eight different color options (two backgrounds, three accents, three gradient directions) and are broken up in a variety of ways, such as:
text background sections with two columns will house codes that allow for two text areas side by side, as well as text that flows into two columns. please note that some of these will have titles built in. additionally, while our coding may show with only two, they allow for any number of additional text areas so long as it's divisible by two. the more you add, the more it'll adjust to include.
similar to the above, text background sections with three columns will just instead add a column to this. same rules apply regarding titles and adding, but this time they should be divisible by three.
our basic background just means there's no columns. in here, you'll find some that are just singular sections you can post around each other, others have text areas that flow together within a section just in a way that stacks. even still, it just means it's all in one column spread entirely across the freeform area. as a note, as mentioned previously, this area is wide.
lastly, our titled backgrounds just mean they are one column text areas with a title somewhere. some of these have titles on a side column, some have a title that fits as a row above the text area. it just has a section for you to give that text area a title, or a question, or a year, or a decade. whatever you want to put there, basically.
whew! [spongebob_huff_meme.gif] all that said, a lot of our codes come in the same eight different coloring options, or a variety of those as well as our text color, mostly so you can choose how you want to do your freeform, if you even choose to do one at all.
when i was originally creating the profile, i put the text box i would want, and the gradient i would want, and i put the image and development codes i would want, and... you see the problem. our mission upon conception of the idea of maybe making this site a reality was always to make a site where people could have creative freedom and see their vision come to life. i added a lot of the exact same option, but in a different color, or without a gradient, or in a different shape, etc because i felt that if we only offered freeform codes to make applications the way i would make mine, that wouldn't be meeting that mission. so... use them how it makes sense to you, the ways you prefer, ignore the ones you don't like. whatever works for you, we support. and, if this somehow doesn't fit your needs, after we're open to taking suggestions and adding to the repository post-opening. i might not be able to get to it immediately or might not be able to add all things, but i can definitely try.
anyway, this isn't what you're here for, is it? some previews of our profile application are below. if you're reading this, remember to remind me in chat to talk about the user control panel so i don't have to make a second long post like this. you have permission to tag me (athena) personally. if no one asks, this will be a special little treat for opening.
✨ give us the pictures already! ✨
the top of our profiles feature basic character information as well as four custom links and icons.
next up is our character basics information. if you have warnings in your app, the trigger warning section will show up. if you don't, it won't. the chosen character rating will display, marking your comfort in this character's interaction with these topics and following the common rpg rating. this has four tabs, and four sections: about the character, about the relationships, about the author, and an automatic tracker.
after an aesthetic breaker, we have our freeform area. if you choose to include it, it will show up. if not, it won't. this example uses one of our image sections, and then a text background section with different accents, titles, and breaks.
this is one of our development miscellaneous sections.
here's one with a traits section and a 3 column text background featuring title.
this profile also utilizes one of our other miscellaneous sections, this time for an interview.
a couple different example of some of our trait sections with bars.
an example of one of our two column options, this time utilizing a text header and looking through the code bank to see what numbers correlate to which colors to have them show up different colors throughout. typically this is 1 for main background, 2 for accent 1, 3 for accent 2, 4 for accent 3, 5 and 6 and 7 for different gradient directions, and 8 for our alternative background, as a note to refer back to when you can see these.
an example of the aesthetic break that sections of the freeform if you have it turned on, as well as our large image option.
another miscellaneous section for development usage.
one of our manual playlist sections, so you can see both how it rests and how it looks scrolled.
if you elect to turn on your profile shipper, it'll start off with a section with your information, followed by a section for your character's information. as you can see, i am wordy. you do not have to write this much. that single first line would have been enough about me. i could have used a meme. unfortunately, i am a blabbermouth, and it is incurable.
unfortunately for you all, and for the space of this post, my fellow staff also have incurable blabbermouth. i love them for it. here's a preview of how that profile shipper option looks with just text filled in for the about and hooks. i will repeat, you do not have to write this much. we are just very extra, as if the number of codes for this freeform didn't give that away.
okay, i think that about previews a little bit of everything. if there's anything specific you would like to see that i forgot, throw me an @ in the discord. i have to stop typing now or chels is going to go through and make this sound more like a staff member giving an announcement (like how it started, how it was supposed to be) and less like a coder losing all grips with reality while trying to explain this without looking like the conspiracy gif. alas, i think i've fallen into the latter.
have a wonderful day, y'all. i hope you enjoyed this preview, even if it lost the bit somewhere along the way. from all of us behind #thinkrp, we absolutely cannot wait to see you all on the 18th, this saturday, when we open.
#THINKRP is an upcoming 18+ real life premium jcink site set just off the coast of the state of georgia. nestled on either side of the fictional bennington bay are the bustling city of remington and the sleepy town of sable grove - while the two locations are close in proximity, a bitter rivalry sows seeds of discord. member reserves are now open to our discord members alongside daily buzz challenges. follow our tumblr to delve into the history of each and make your mark.

✨ explore sable grove, ga ✨
sable grove as a residential town sprung up across the bay from remington during the 1830s/1840s. the area attracted those looking to get rich quick and eventually grew from a sleepy gold claim to the attractive town it is today. nowadays, if you visit the town, you’ll find period architecture in the trendy historical downtown area, which is host to thriving commerce and beautiful green spaces, and places such as the charming independent art house cameo cinema on main street. or maybe a stroll down the st. veil pier at dusk or dining at one of the restaurants in the harbor is more your speed. the town is the proud home of the sable grove wolverines, two-time state football champions, and national runner-ups, and the small-town suburban feel often attracts families looking for somewhere quieter than the city to settle down. to the south is beargrass national park, thorpe lighthouse, and beautiful beaches with pristine sand and opportunities to see local flora and fauna.
harborview
population - 8816 | price point - $$ to $$$$
harborview is an eclectic collection of charming bars, taverns, and restaurants all spread throughout the harbor. stop in at the bayfront tavern for a beer or to peruse their cocktail menu, or head to the boatyard, where you can find delicious caught-fresh today seafood dishes. the pride and joy of harborview is st. veil pier, home to pop-up street food nights if you’re looking for a bite to eat illuminated by multicolored string lights. you’ll also find the harbor marina here, with moorings for yachts and small boats. the housing in this area, though limited, is mostly midrange apartments above the various businesses along the seafront as well as some properties on the waterfront, as well as some higher-end waterfront properties.
hazelhurst

the lanes
population - 12517 | price point - $ to $$
the lanes is one neighborhood in sable grove that you won’t find on postcards. leaning more rural, the lanes on the outskirts of town is the least affluent part of the town, with not much in the way of entertainment or business. despite the deprivation, there’s a sense of community here though. hyde woods runs along the edge of the lanes, bunched up right against elmore shores, a mobile home park. some claim the woods are haunted, and many worried parent forbid their children from exploring the caves nearby. rundown in comparison to the other neighborhoods in the town, housing here is made up of small family homes, trailers, and cheaper apartment blocks.
thorpe point
population - 6173 | price point - $$ to $$$$$
thorpe point is home to several sable grove landmarks, such as the towering thorpe lighthouse, beautiful local beaches, infamous wrecks, and beargrass national park. if you enjoy water activities, sports, and being close to nature, thorpe point has some of the most iconic scenery in the area. the housing here is varied here, ranging from homes more rural in nature to beach houses right on the waterfront. due to the location, some homes fall towards the more expensive end of the scale, though price can fall the further from town you’re willing to travel and has the greatest mix of price points.
today's preview is a more introspective look at the larger of our two locations - remington, georgia. while it has the glitz and glamour that sable grove could never aspire to, there are some who can't stand the hustle and bustle of someplace that always seems to be in motion. take a peek under the cut for it's full history alongside the six neighborhoods waiting within. if you have any questions, you know where to find us!
✨ explore remington, ga ✨
the city of remington was founded in late 1829 during the georgia gold rush. it was a larger settlement for the prospectors that used to travel to sable grove to strike it rich. today, it is a thriving metropolis home to such prominent tourist attractions such as the great rapids amusement park, the barlowe botanical gardens, and distillery drive. it is also home to remington university and the official home of nfl team the remington prospectors, nhl team the remington gold hawks, and the mlb team the remington 29ers. remington is also known to be a festival city during the summers, hosting events such as the taste of remington and the street buskers festival. to the world, remington seems like a city of promise, however, if you look a little closer you’ll see dilapidated buildings with graffiti protesting the oppressive hold of corporations, you’ll see broken swing sets in seedy neighborhoods, and you might just be able to see deals being made on street corners. remington proves that even the shiniest of exteriors can have the grimiest of secrets lurking within.
barlowe reef
population - 20660 | price point - $$$ to $$$$
home to the barlowe botanical gardens and the great rapids amusement park, the neighborhood of barlowe is known as a tourist haven. the northernmost peak of remington, you’ll also have access to the barlowe bridge which connects remington and sable grove across bennington bay. it also houses the shorefront which showcases the pier and harbor. housing in the area is middle tier and largely populated with airbnbs and hotels.
camden
population - 17486 | price point - $$$ to $$$$$
camden is a historic part of remington that was once lined with bootleggers and secret speakeasies between the 1920s to the 1930s. now, it is widely known as the fine arts and cultural district. it is home to the remington art gallery and theatre alley which is home to the remington ballet company, the remington philharmonic, and the remington players. it is also home to jazz clubs, piano bars, and of course your good ol’ country music bars. some casting agencies, modeling agencies, and production companies also call camden home. the neighborhood also has a series of small man-made parks and trails that are a runner’s paradise. this area houses a lot of trendy apartment buildings, brownstones, and houses with old world charm that tend to be perfect for those in the middle-income or higher income brackets.
crestmont
population - 10576 | price point - $$$$ to $$$$$
crestmont is remington’s financial and governmental neighborhood. you’ll find city hall which houses city council offices, the mayor’s office, and all the major courthouses. it is also home to the remington police department and the sheriff's station. crestmont also has easy access to remington memorial hospital and the remington firehouse. around the corner from city hall is market street which is home to well known financial institutions, major real estate developers, and also larger tech and entertainment-focused companies. homes in this area are relatively pretty expensive and swanky and feature penthouses, brownstones, and luxury apartments.
cromwell
population - 14177 | price point - $$$ to $$$$$
cromwell is perhaps one of the busiest neighborhoods in remington featuring all the major sports arenas and stadiums as well as the larger concert venues. it is home to palladium square which is full to the brim with street performers and buskers. during the weekends, there is a large farmer’s market and craft and book fairs. it is also a hop skip and jump from remington public library and cromwell park. due to its resemblance to many popular cities, cromwell is a popular filming location. you’ll find mid-tier to high-tier housing in the area, and it is home to many families with young children.
snakeleaf
population - 20101 | price point - $ to $$$
back in the 1800s, the snakeleaf area used to be swampy marshy lands where only the underlings of the city used to congregate. it still maintains its “seedy” reputation with its collection of motels and other shady businesses. unlike the rest of the city, the snakeleaf area is not prim and pristine. however, some would argue that this is where the real deals in the city happen and not in crestmont or cromwell. the main highlight of this area is the abandoned shoe factory which is a popular venue for raves, outlandish parties, and general debauchery that is rented by more elite hands than you would think to imagine. housing is cheap here, but it comes at the cost of your safety and sanity, quite frankly.
yearwood
population - 30000 | price point - $ to $$$
yearwood widely known as the education district, yearwood is home to remington university spanning ten whole city blocks. around the corner from remington university, you’ll also find the yearwood mall and tucked in a corner is distillery drive which features bars, clubs, taverns, cafes, and restaurants that are popular with students, remington residents, and tourists alike. at the end of distillery drive, you’ll find the wall, a skate park with a massive brick wall that is frequently tagged with graffiti, murals, and messages. housing in this area is relatively cheap and largely occupied by students or early career professionals.

✨ explore the guidebook ✨
registration;
We utilize author accounts as a way to enable a character census for plotting. It will be the first you register using your intended on-site alias, in lowercase. This will host all of your character accounts as subaccounts and be utilized for any out of character posts.
Duplicate aliases are not allowed to help avoid confusion and due to our use of the member list, however we do allow similar aliases with discernible differences - i.e. Regina vs Gina. Refer to our member list before registering to ensure there are no duplicate aliases in play.
After registering your author account, upgrade its member group by purchasing and activating the 'author account upgrade' in our site store.
Character accounts are registered first and last name in all lowercase, according to applicable naming customs. We recommend signing up your character with how they would introduce themselves, rather than a legal first name they may not use - i.e. if your character is named Sebastian, but has only ever gone by Ian, sign them up as Ian.
We do not allow duplicate given names, although spelling variations up to two per name are allowed, i.e. Ashley and Ashleigh. Characters with the same surname must be related unless duplicated due to cultural norms. Be sure to check our member list when registering to avoid confusion.
All name changes can be made under your control panel and do not require admin approval.
We ask that you be conscientious of symbols, unique characters, or unicodes in all account names due to Jcink's award and tagging system. If culturally necessary, please feel free to use them, but do so at your own risk due to the utilization of this system.
portrayals;
All face claims must be 18 years of age or older, which extends to all pictures, gifs, and graphics, which must be from when they were 18+.
We use the 5 +/- rule. If your character is 27 then their face claim must be between the ages of 22 and 32.
For characters over the age of 50, we allow for the use of the 7 +/- rule - i.e. if a character is 57 their face claim can vary between 50 - 64.
Face claims must have a verifiable level of fame, such as:
instagram verification
have 250k+ instagram followers
be signed with a reputable modeling agency
have an IMDb page
We do not allow face claims who meet any of the following criteria:
deceased
adult film stars
anyone that has asked not to be used
anyone facing an accusation of or who has been convicted of abuse, sexual or domestic violence, and/or related crimes.
Regarding nonbinary and trans characters, we allow the use of cis face claims in their portrayal, however we do not allow the reverse in the case of nonbinary face claims.
There is a maximum cap of five identical characters utilizing the same face claim, all of which must be biologically related, as we do not allow doppelganger plots.
We do not allow whitewashing or racebending. Characters must ethnically match their face claims and families should ethnically match each other, unless alternative relation has been established in character, i.e. adoption or foster family.
If you have any questions regarding face claim usability, or notice a character that is not meeting one of these requirements, create a ticket within our Discord.
community;
Respect is our golden rule - respect your fellow members, staff, and guests alike. We have a zero tolerance policy for bullying, harassment, or hate speech. If you are experiencing or have witnessed any of the sort on site please reach out to our team via a Discord ticket.
For any general issues that arise between members, we ask you remain civil on-site and in our Discord, and to try to find resolutions independently before involving the staff team. If mediation is needed, we will work to assist through our ticketing system.
Writing should always be collaborative, fair, and enjoyable for those involved, meaning everyone must follow basic rules of roleplaying: no godmodding, metagaming, or powerplaying. Separate in character and out of character knowledge, keep personal feelings and frustrations out of in character interactions, and obtain player consent for major actions affecting others’ characters.
Our Discord server is mandatory for all members, as it is our main outreach method for site updates, application acceptance, absence notifications, and more. If a member leaves our server at any time, it will be treated as a notice of inactivity, and they will be given a 48 hour grace period to rejoin the server before we inactivate on site accounts. If for any reason you need a break from the server, we ask you to reach out to the staff team to notify us, and we will treat it as a temporary absence.
When taking a request, be sure to reach out to the requester(s) for approval prior to submitting your application. As a requester, please add any reaction to the app post in our Discord to approve. If within 24 hours of an application submission a requester has not reacted to or opened a ticket to discuss the application, we will move forward with our typical approval process as if it were not for a request.
Staff will always take fault for any pending applications - requested character or otherwise. If your application has been submitted and your fc reserve runs out, your reservation is automatically saved until we have had time to approve it.
Our team is always open to questions and suggestions, via Discord in our Q-and-A channel or ticket system. Please utilize these methods instead of reaching out to staff members individually for any site related issues, so we are able to assist you.
activity & content;
We are a mature Jcink premium site with a 3-3-3 rating. We allow characters, plots, and themes with mature subject matter. Due to this, we require our member base to be 18 years of age or older in its entirety, which extends to personal photos shared in our Discord.
Despite our rating, we do not allow the following to have explicit descriptions detailed on site:
incest
pedophilia
murder
perpetuation of real life bigotries (racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc)
graphic sexual assault
ongoing real life wars and major political issues
You are able to allude to these in character histories, and have characters that experience the after effects of these issues (i.e. ptsd), but they are unable to be played out in great detail on site.
COVID-19 does not exist in this universe and should not be played out or alluded to anywhere on site.
Other than the above, we do not have any bans or limitations on other plots at this time.
All potentially triggering or mature material must be marked with the appropriate tag, [tw] and/or [m], with a brief explanation at the top of the first post. We ask that all members choose their consumption and, with that, their level of comfort by being aware of these tags. If you notice a tag missing, please notify staff via a Discord ticket.
There is no word count - you are able to write as much or as little as you’d like - so long as you are meeting activity requirements. We've included role-giving questions in our Discord server, as well as space in our on-site author accounts, that act as jumping off points for discussions on writing styles, preferences, and activity levels with your writing partners to help avoid compatibility issues.
Our baseline for activity is one in character thread post every 14 days - communication threads and one liners do not count. Staff will review accounts on the 1st and 15th of each month, and do not archive character accounts outside of this period by member request for interest in a specific face claim.
If your character was approved within the last activity window, they will not be counted for activity - i.e. if your character is accepted on the 3rd, it will not be counted in the sweep on the 15th of that month, but on the following month's 1st sweep.
If a character account goes inactive, a notice will be sent to their author account, and given a 48 hour grace period before sorted into the inactive member group and claims are removed. In order to reactivate, you will need to make a thread post and submit the link through our request staff help form in our guidebook.
For in progress character accounts that are caught in a sweep and older than 14 days, a check-in message will be sent to verify the character is still being actively worked on. Profiles in our inactive member group are still able to be edited, however it will hide the account from our member list, allowing the name to be up for grabs until your application has been submitted.
Absences are posted and updated through our Discord, and come with a specialty absence role, so others know you may be slow to respond. If you have an absence longer than 2 weeks, or one activity sweep period, we ask that you create a ticket to keep us up to date. If multiple back to back absences are keeping characters safe during sweeps, a member of staff may reach out to touch base.
Threads and comms without 1 month of activity will be archived. If you need a thread moved out of the archives, utilize the request staff help form in our guidebook.
Requests are able to be bumped once every 7 days, both on site and within our Discord.
We currently have no limit as to how many characters you can have, as we expect everyone to be mindful of their own limitations. Your first 10 characters are free, and any beyond must be purchased from our points shop.
aesthetics;
All images automatically resize, and those with square dimensions may be GIFs if desired, but all others must be still images to account for site load time. We have a graphics help channel in Discord should you need any assistance.
Our profiles require the following for acceptance:
One 250px by 400px still image
Two 100px by 100px images
One 150px by 150px image to be an uploaded avatar (max 1024 kb size)
In addition to the above, our profiles include up to two optional 200px by 250px still images.
We ask that you keep all profile graphics - both on character and author accounts - safe for work, and ensure all include people over the age of 18.
Outside coding is not allowed, but should you feel something is missing in our code bank, feel free to offer suggestions.
