WELCOME TO OMEN
ABOUT
Omen: Home Sweet Neighbor is a casual, slice-of-life roleplay with a little bit of mystery, and a little bit of magic.

The story is set within the quiet, suburban town of Omen, a mysterious place tucked away in a secluded corner of the world and surrounded by a vast, sprawling forest on all sides. With no major highways leading in or out, and only a few winding roads connecting it to the rest of the world, it feels like the kind of place you don't just stumble upon by accident. Life in Omen is slow and relaxing, but its seclusion doesn't stop it from keeping up to date with modern technologies and trends. In this town, everyone knows each other, and gossip reaches every corner. Residents are involved, familiar, and most of all... a little bit eccentric.

Despite its calm, fairy-tale charm, there's something undeniably strange about Omen, which truly sets it apart from the rest of the world. Curses. Many of the residents born in Omen possess unique Curses, which are, to this day, an inexplicable phenomenon.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Omen: Home Sweet Neighbor is a sandbox-style roleplay, meaning the story is shaped strictly by the characters that exist and reside within Omen. There is no overarching plot or deep-reaching lore. It is a story about people, relationships, drama, life, and a little bit of mystery. There are cozy libraries, gathering hubs, public events, and cryptic blog posts that keep the residents on edge out of fear that their secrets might get out.

Your character can be a born-and-raised local or someone who somehow found their way through the trees, for Omen has a way of fitting people in.

Additionally, each OC will have a pre-established "Bestie" and "Crush" prior to being accepted. So, if you're not interested in having to select a crush for your character, this RP might not be for you. However, I don't plan to exclude aroace characters. In the case of a character being aromantic/asexual, you may replace "Crushing on..." with "Fond of..." in your character sheet. The point of this is to kick off relationship building and drama within the story! But don't worry, a character's Crush can change over time via interactions! The starting Crush is just to get those love-triangles going and give our characters a hard time, because why not?!

SETTING
You've already read about Omen, but let me tell you a little bit about the rest of the world. Omen exists within a fictional world. There is no Japan or America here. Players are free to give their characters made-up places of origin if they're not a born-and-raised resident of the town! Just keep in mind that Curses don't exist anywhere else.

GOSSIP BLOG: ANON
Anon is a character in the story who is always spying on the lives of our characters and blasting their business in Omen's local Gossip Blog. Sometimes the gossip rings true; other times it couldn't be further from accurate, slanderous misconceptions that leave the town whispering. Everyone knows of Anon, as the residents of Omen often find tickets to vacation getaways or fun events in their mailboxes with Anon's logo stamped on the card, but no one knows their true identity. Anon is a mysterious figure who goes out of their way to make Omen a more exciting place. Some wish to see them burn, others enjoy the thrill.

DISCORD
The last important thing to mention is that I will be conducting the OOC portion of the roleplay in a discord server, as that's just what I'm used to doing, and it allows for quicker communication. If you are not comfortable with this, but you would still like to participate in the RP, that's fine, but communication will be limited. You might also risk missing out on fun player/character interactions such as "Character QnA" and plotting.

Definetly interested. Might make a private investigator who’s a new arrival to the town investigating an odd case or following a trail for a case at home.
 
Haven't even read but I always support the Doc

Edit: I've read now.
 
Count me in! Definitely wanna try my hand at a possible newcomer to Omen! Maybe used to visit frequently due to having family (like a grandparent) there only to stop cause life and just returned cause that family member’s unfortunately died and they’re inheriting that family member’s property
 
I may have missed it as I'm a bit tired, but what are the curses exactly, can they be anything?

The curses are mostly simple! Things like... "never sleeps", "sneezes when someone is lying nearby", etc. or they can be a bit more positive/beneficial!

But don't be afraid to get creative with them! As long as the curse isn't something like a super power, all is well!
Something like: "runs faster when wearing a watch" isn't impossible or "mirrors crack when they look into them too long", "plants die/grow around them"
 
oh this sounds like fun ! i'd be interested
