To the cast of Blackhaven!" Blackhaven was a fond memory to others and a past long forgotten to some. It fueled the careers of some teenage actors trying to find their big break. Its fame has made it a classic teenage slice of life show that most teenagers had watched once - even if it was only a few episodes. Even if the show had declined in fame at the fifth season that called for its cancellation and abrupt ending, it lived on for some people to rewatch and introduce to the younger generation. Blackhaven covered themes that were usually avoided by certain directors and writers. Following the lives of people in different social cliques within school, there's always at least one episode that appealed to a certain demographic.

And perhaps that is what appealed to the audiences once upon a time. As the youth had said, it was relatable content even if the show had blown things out of proportion before for the sake of dramatics. The fifth season ended with a school shooting - a last call of awareness to the increasing amount of school shootings across the country. The episode did not pull back in any punches when it came to showing the aftermath, the horrors of what a school shooting can do to those involved. Though it was resolved when the school shooter was arrested and they showed glimpses of recovery of the students, they still made a point to reiterate the importance of having mental help readily available for everyone and a call for stricter gun laws to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. The finale was received with mixed reactions from the general populace but one that has left its mark in the industry. The actors and actresses who received both fame and infamy from the show had moved on.

There were those who left the industry altogether, making Blackhaven their one hit single before disappearing off the face of the earth to pursue their passions and ideal careers. Some had kept in contact with their co-actors, forging strong bonds of friendship that would not be forgotten. And then there were some who left it altogether, acknowledging that they had acted with their previous co-actors but never really found the reason to reach out. “Dear sir or madam, You may not know who I am, but I do know that you have met my father, Riley Winfred who was the director for Blackhaven.

However, I have wishes to continue my father’s legacy and relaunch Blackhaven - a reunion of sorts which would feature each character ten years after the finale. If you are interested in hearing about more, please message me back. Sincerely, Sam Winfred” Ten years after the finale, Director Sam Winfred, son of Blackhaven's original director Riley Winfred, had reached out to the various actors of Blackhaven. He expressed his wishes to continue the old series - a reunion of sorts. Appealing to its original teenage demographic that has now all entered adulthood, Sam wished to shift the attention to the everyday life of people’s favorite characters when they were older. He did not deviate from Blackhaven’s original purpose of showing themes other shows shy away from - but this time, for those in their adulthood. To whoever accepted Sam’s proposal, he started to coordinate with them to talk about the futures of their characters and possible themes each actor wanted to explore with their characters so that the writers may be able to incorporate these into the scripts and release it for their filming. However, Blackhaven’s cast was not free from drama and strife during the four years that they were all together. Friendships and relationships were made - but they were also broken.

3) I'm not looking for everyday posting but I'm looking for at least one post every one to two weeks. I know life can be harsh but if there's two weeks of no activity both in IC and in OOC, I'll likely message you first and then shelf your character.

4) Good grammar would be appreciated. And each reply should be roughly around two paragraphs. If you're having trouble with posting, don't be afraid to approach me about it.

7) And of course, please do have fun! That's what roleplaying is about after all!

Hello and welcome to Blackhaven everybody!

The basic premise of this is that our characters are basically actors and actresses who have continued on with their lives after a pretty successful show… but now someone wants to reboot the show and you, maybe interested in tasting fame again or simply out of curiosity, decided to take the offer.

In this RP, you would essentially be playing two characters: The Actor and The Show Character. Show Characters will have their own episodes with each other (discussed beforehand on how the episode’s flow is going to go). The Actors will have their own action behind the scenes - maybe you want them to vlog about their experiences backstage, maybe they want to relive their childhood days and prank people, or maybe they're just looking for a break and accidentally happened upon some problem. Drama in IC is highly encouraged - both inside the Show and outside the Show.

Now you might be asking me, AI, why are there roles? And does it affect the Actors in any way? Well, there's a simple answer to that! It does not affect the Actor in any way, shape or form! The roles are simply there for the Show Characters to follow since it was your typical slice of life drama show that delves into a character's clique.

And the role descriptions are just your character's backgrounds. These descriptions were an overview of who they were when they were in highschool, but it's been 10 years - you can develop them however you want.
