Ah, the Golden State. Shining lights, gorgeous beaches, endless summer. What's not to love about California? It's home to countless famous landmarks, natural wonders, and fun attractions. From the glitz of Los Angeles to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, the entire state would see its fair share of tourists over the years. Except for that one tiny, unremarkable town that you'd zip right past on your way to somewhere more interesting. That town was called Paradise, California.
Situated right on the Pacific coast, Paradise had, for better or for worse, remained largely untouched by tourists. Of course there were always a few drifters passing through, but it never quite reached the levels of notoriety as other California locales. And that was fine by its citizens. No, the sleepy little town was perfectly content to remain off the map, nicely funded by a lucrative fishing industry instead of tourism. This was a tight-knit community, one that generally looked out for one another, and had no desire to cater to hoity toity outsiders.
Enter, the Hollywood jackasses.
Turns out, some producers were in a bit of a pickle. Production on a new teen drama series was slated to begin, and their perfect location fell through at the last minute. In any other case, it might've been possible to make do with filming in a studio, but it was too damn late. Every second page in the script demanded someone go sailing, or build a sandcastle, or some other beachy bullshit. An adorably quaint coastal village was needed, and stat.
Luckily(?), they managed to cut a deal with the town's new mayor, Monica Lowes. She didn't share the general consensus on outsiders, and was more than happy to thrust Paradise into the spotlight. Needless to say, this news did not go down well with the locals; most of them actively hated the idea. Their quiet, peaceful way of life was about to be ruined by a bunch of primadonnas? Talk about hell on earth.

the setting
This is a slice of life roleplay that will take place in the fictional town of Paradise, California. Our small, seaside fishing village is now the filming location for Harbor, a new teen drama ala Dawson's Creek about a group of teens growing up, finding their way, and of course having an insane amount of drama.
the cast
Characters can be any age, although 13+ would probably work best for most of the in-character action and general subject matter. Paradise townies from all walks of life are welcome, or feel free to play one of our outsiders from the Icebound cast and crew!
expectactions
We're going for a sandbox style SOL RP, and we need mature, active, and experienced writers to help us bring it to life!
