  Animal Village... a tranquil paradise, hidden away from the rest of the world, in a secret corner of the world known only as "Hidden Valley". Very few humans ever entered the place... but it was discovered by some... and the last one, whose name vanished into obscurity, even became the mayor.
  
  The mayor was ambitious, and strong-willed. Thanks to their leadership, Animal Village became a beautiful Town, where numerous villagers gathered through, and started their own lives, some even at quite an early age.
  
  As time moved on, the villagers grew. Families were started, Schools were built, and friendships were formed, which would then grow into the next generation.
  
  It even took up the new name... Animal Town. As one of the most popular towns to date, it became one of the greatest towns in Hidden Valley.
  
  Eventually, though, the Mayor... once young and spry... overlooked the beautiful work from high atop the mountain that their home was built; their once strong, dark hair, now pure white, and fragile. Their youth has all but left their body. The wrinkles had covered their face, as they took a brief glance at the graveyard for the Temple of Gaia, which rested atop the very peak of the mountain. The graves bore the names of so many familiar faces... even the mayor that came before was buried there, who was already close to his time when the Mayor was nothing more than a mere child.
  
  Finally, tragedy had stricken Animal Town, as their beloved Mayor, whose assistant was given the time off to be with her grandchildren, fell to the ground, their hand clutched to their chest. It didn't take long for the medical experts to rush them to the hospital... but deep down, they knew that it was already too late.
  
  The year is now 2021 - fifty years after the Mayor's Funeral. With the last of the old inhabitants now long gone, Animal Town sunk into a state of Depression. The position for Mayor was no longer relevant, for none would dare take up such a burden willingly.
  
  Now the last of the Old Generation that remains is the elderly Mail Clerk, named Pelly. Of all the inhabitants, she would likely be the closest to a leader, seeing how she knew everyone of three generations, at this point... but it would only be a matter of time, before Gaia claims her, as well.
  
  Many of the current generation were forced to survive on their own, with the aid of their great grandparents' teachings... how to build a home, how to live... how to survive. Though they weren't informed of the Humans, so curiosity and, perhaps, even fear, would be expected at first glance, should one ever find their way into the Village.
  
  And such is, in fact, the case... when the next human happened to stumble across the old, worn village, unconscious after a shipwreck.
  
  When word came around that the "Human", as he called himself, was going to inherit the Mayor's old house, by orders of Lady Pelly, many of the locals were quite surprised, to say the least! Shortly following his arrival, a few more Animals from the bordering lands of "Hidden Valley" begin to arrive, as well, whether by curiosity of the rumors, or by mere coincidence.
  
  Could there be hope for Animal Town to become the Grand Haven it once was, though? Or will it eventually become nothing more than a Ghost Town?

  Feel free to copy this and paste it, making the necessary edits where needed! If you have a few errors in the Code-Side of things, don't worry. You can just use the "Basic" Character Sheet at the Far-Right!
  You SHOULD be able to edit it without the BB Code after clicking "Toggle BB Code" again, though... if not, however, then it shouldn't really be too difficult to figure out. Just replace everything between "(" and ")", really.

• 
  As a Stray, you've found yourself wandering the Great Wilderness of the Hidden Valley, before stumbling upon Animal Town. Having no place to go, you decided to move in, taking up residence either for Survival, or just to try starting your own life.
• 
  You grew up in Animal Town, and muscled through the Depression that surrounds it. As such, you've grown up in the comfort of your parents' home, until recently, when you've decided to move into a house of your own.
• 
  As a Tourist from the City, you've grown accustomed to Loud Noises and Fancy Technology. Upon stumbling into Animal Town, however, you've taken a liking to the quaint feel for the place, and figured you could use a place to rest at away from all the High-Tech things... that, or maybe you feel like this place could USE a bit of an Urban Twist here and there?

  Current Layout:

  South: Mostly oceanic, with plenty of Seashells and Random Artifacts that drift ashore. Contains 6 houses, with 3 in disrepair, and 1 unoccupied.
  
  East: Plenty of Fruit Trees rest here, as well as a few small ponds. There appears to also be more grass and flowers here, than anywhere else. Doesn't contain any houses, but does contain a Park Area, where children can come to play, as well as a Picnic Area for families to visit. Festivals are oftentimes held here.
  
  West: Mostly covered in dirt and Cobblestone. Many houses are here, as it would likely be the Main Residential Area. Houses of varying shapes and sizes are here. However, many of the squares of land would be nothing more than just that: plots of land waiting to be built on.​

  "Favor" is, basically, your level of Friendship with a Player or NPC. Whenever you interact with another player, it's up to you to keep track of this! You may start off with known Relations with another player if they are aware of it, accepting to your terms, and they both have Matching Origins! (You can't just suddenly move in from Hidden Valley, and expect to know someone who was born and raised here, after all!) This can grant you bonus points in "Favor" at the start. There is, however, a difference between "Town Favor" and "Personal Favor". "Personal Favor" is, as the name implies, "Your relationship with another character as an individual." This is the one that you'll be focusing on!
  
  "Town Favor", however, is your "Reputation" with the Town as a whole, which can only be added to, or subtracted by, me (it'll show up on the "Villager Page" on the Main Thread!). The more active you are at roleplaying, the higher the chances that you'll gain "Town Favor". "High Town Favor" could grant you bonuses like Rewards, Discounts, and a Higher Chance that things will just go your way.
  
  All Favor caps at "100", though, and being bumped down to 80 isn't necessarily the "end" of a relationship! Merely a "Setback" that can easily be rectified the following day, once the other character had some time to cool off, and allow your character time to come up with an apology!
  
  You can have ONE "Favorite Item" and "Despised Item", and up to 2 "Loved", "Liked", "Unbiased", "Disliked", and "Hated" items, each of which adding or subtracting 20, 10, or 5 points to/from your Favor with said person respectively. Unbiased, however, would still grant you 1 Favor, as a means of "Appreciation for trying". If an item isn't listed, then it automatically goes under "Unbiased" by default, or outright "Refused" without a Negative Repercussion as a result. Otherwise, refusing an "Unbiased" item on the list can give you a "-1 Favor", if the Rejected Player decides to take it like such. However, that one is optional, and not a required change. To prevent Metagaming, you can not tell what someone likes right off the bat! They have to let you know In-Character, first! Therefore, experiment with the different options, or simply "Ask" them!
  
  "Favor Tiers" are the titles you can give someone to better match their "Favor Level" with your character(s).
  Please note that favor can only go up and down once every In-Game Day, or every 3 Real-World Days, should they be gone for an extended period of time! This means that you can give someone something they "Love" and "Hate", which would result in no difference being made, or something they "Favor" and "Dislike" to gain a "+15 Favor" bonus, instead of "+20"! You can Gain or Lose Favor from multiple people Daily, however, so you are not limited to just interacting with ONE character daily!
  
  Gift-giving, however, must be treated similar to "Disputes". You can't simply "Give" something to someone, due to that being "Powergaming". You must "Offer" the item first, then wait for them to "Accept" or "Decline" said offer with a response! Then, following the message, add (Favorite), (Loved), (Liked), (Unbiased), (Unlisted), (Disliked), (Hated), or (Despised), so that I can update your Relation as such!
  
  The player offering the gift could then "React" as an easy way to gain Favor from the same Tier of the Favor gained by the other user! Just follow up your reaction message with the reaction!
  (Delighted) (+X Favor, with X being the quality of their Positive Reaction, or the Opposite of their Negative Reaction)
  (Acknowledged) (+1 Favor Gain)
  (Offended) (-X Favor, with X being the Quality of their Positive Reaction, or the Opposite of their Negative Reaction!)
  
  Please note that REACTING replaces the Favor gained from RECEIVING GIFTS, so the total Favor you can gain or lose daily is up to 20!
  
  "Titles" are merely earned once they reach the number, and doesn't mean that they're gone as soon as you make one screwup! So if you Dislike something, and your Spouse gives it to you, then it isn't "Immediate Divorce". So you can have a Spouse that has "-100 Favor", though realistically speaking, that would most likely lead to a Divorce, anyways, since it would take several days of nonstop "Negligence" to even reach that level!
  
  The Favor Tiers are as follows:
  +100 = "Best Friend", "Love Interest", "Spouse", "Model Family Member", "Bro", or "Inspirational Figure".
  +80 to +99 = "Good Friend", "Girlfriend/Boyfriend", "Devoted Family Member", "Bosom Buddy", or "Inspirational Figure".
  +50 to +79 = "Friend", "Crush", "Great Family Member", or "Role Model".
  +25 to +49 = "Welcome Face", "Growing Attachment", "Good Family Member", or "Personal Star".
  +1 to +24 = "Acquaintance", "Acceptable New Face", "Family Member", or "Interesting Subject".
  0 = "Stranger" or "New Family Member"
  -1 to -24 = "Rough Start", "Unacceptable New Face", "Distrusted Family Member", or "Uninteresting Subject".
  -25 to -49 = "Unwelcome Face", "Shouting Partner", "Bad Family Member", or "Bad Subject".
  -50 to -79 = "Disliked Face", "Fighting Partner", "Horrible Family Member", or "Bitter Subject".
  -80 to -99 = "Enemy", "Competition", "Hated Family Member", or "Horrible Subject".
  -100 = "Sworn Enemy", "Rival", "Family Outcast", or "Worst Subject".
  
  
  Please note that Favor is merely a "Personal" thing, and does not have to match the other player's Favor! You can give them something they Despise, and it's them that loses the Favor of you, but not the other way around, unless you're offended by their choice of words! You can see someone as a "Friend", while they see you as an "Enemy".​

 

[Justin93Daniels]

((I'll go on ahead and kick this thing off. Feel free to write your own!))​

Name:
Justin

Gender:
♂

Age:
27

Race/Species:
Human (The ONLY One.)

Physical Details:

In-Depth Details: He has long, dark brown hair, thin stubble, and bluish green eyes. He stands at right around 6 Feet, 1 Inch Tall, and Weighs 160 Lbs.
He currently has: "Black Cap", "Black Vest/Blue Shirt", "Blue Jeans", "Brown Hiking Boots", a "Guidebook", and an "Animal Town ID".

Personality:
Smug - Whenever spoken to, he can be Polite, Kind, and Gentlemanly. He can also be a bit nervous whenever meeting new people, and may avoid eye contact during the first few conversations, responding with few words. Whenever someone befriends him, however, he can easily be counted on as someone who "Has your back", and will be there to help you out in dire situations, whether physically, or emotionally!

His Favorite Item is "Sushi". (+20 Favor)
He Loves "Fish" and "Technology". (+10 Favor)
He's Okay with "Insects" and "Fruit". (+5 Favor)
He's Unbiased with "Flowers" and "Fossils". (+1 Favor)
He Dislikes "Medicine" and "Dresses". (-5 Favor)
He Hates "Garbage" and "Pitfall Seeds". (-10 Favor)
His Despised Item is "Spoiled Food". (-20 Favor)

Starting Job:
"Pelly's Assistant" (Generic Job.)

Origin:
"Outsider" - Having been shipwrecked, he drifted on the shore, only to be taken in by the Locals. He was, for the most part, unharmed, and was given the option to help Lady Pelly out with her duties. Not much is known prior to this intel.

Biography:
A man of unknown origin, Justin was on a ship, headed to another place within the "Mainlands". However, a great storm passed over his ship, and left it sunk down, with only one survivor... himself. Clinging to a piece of debris, Justin soon drifted ashore within the beach of Animal Town, where he was quickly spotted and rescued by a Doctor, who at the time, was on Vacation Hours. Upon meeting Pelly, the "Leader" of sorts, she greeted him with open wings, while the others usually greeted him with hesitation. Ever since then, he respected Pelly, as well as the Doctors that helped care for him.

Whenever Pelly offered him the Mayor's Old Home, he was quite surprised, but accepted it nonetheless. However, he spends more time around the Town Hall and the Temple of Gaia, only occasionally visiting the town to socialize with the locals. He is, after all, quite shy.

Slogan:
"buddy"
(Examples: "This is great, thanks! I'll be sure to put this to good use, buddy!"
"I... sorry, but I can't accept this, buddy. Just... not my style, y'know?"
"Sorry, but I'm not in the mood right now. I need to clear my head, first. We'll... we'll talk later, though. Okay, buddy?")

Long-Term Goal:
His Long-Term Goal is to, essentially, bring Animal Town back up onto its feet, and turn it back into a paradise for Animals of all kinds to call home. He also hopes to, eventually, befriend the locals well enough to be accepted into their community.

Preferred Home Location:
Old Mayor's Home, with a Red Roof and White Stone Walls. It is currently Tier 3 (Medium Size), with two Bedrooms, a Bathroom, a Kitchen, a Living Room, and a Dining Area within the Living Room. It has an "Old TV" that still works, but is only connected to the "Hidden Valley" Towers, which are disconnected from the rest of the world's Stations.

Additional Details:
Though not a top priority, he is currently Single, and could be considered a "Potential Romantic Interest", though expect hesitancy at first, due to him being... y'know... "Human". He is "Straight", however, and can only be "Shipped" with Female Characters. His preference would be someone within the Age of 21-25, but can be a couple years difference.

Relations:
Lady Pelly ♀ - Best Friend (+100 Favor)
Doctors - Good Friends (+80 Favor)
Generic NPCs - Strangers (0 Favor)

Total Village Favor:
"Acquaintance" (+2 Favor)

((He is bound to become the Mayor once Pelly passes away, which will take place somewhere before "Act 3". Each Act would start off with a fairly large Timeskip, which can range from a Season to a whole Year, so please do take that into account. Only I may introduce the Acts, however, and will not jump them until at least 1 month has passed in real-time!))
