New York, New York, United States

.

Days of Inspiration is a RENT roleplaying game set during the events of the play. Our canon begins April 1, 1996 and will run to the end of the play and beyond it. We do use stage canon, not movie canon, and the focus of the game will be to fill in the events of the play between New Year's and Halloween. The game's time schedule will be finalized after more casting is finished; currently we are planning to go live at some point in June, as soon as all our canon characters are cast.

Days of Inspiration will be roleplayed out in the main community, with private threads taking place in character journals and all out of character interaction/discussion taking place in the OOC community, 11thandb.

Please email applications to inspired.mods@gmail.com, and check the current cast roster before you apply.

Anything else we need to know:

Currently we are accepting applications for the following major canon roles :

-Benjamin Coffin III

Once those roles have been filled we will also begin accepting applications for minor and original characters including but not limited to the following :

-Kevin, Davey, John and Adam, Roger's bandmates
-the Life Support members (Gordon, Paul, Ali, Pam, Sue)
-Alexi Darling
-Allison "Muffy" Grey-Coffin
-bohemians / Life Cafe regulars
-Joanne's dyke and/or lawyer friends
-other Cat Scratch dancers
-family members
-et cetera, et cetera.

If you are going to write an application for one of these characters (especially the Life Support-ers or Roger's band mates) the background, personality and direction sections of the application should be around 200-250 words each, simply to give us a better idea of how the character will mesh with the rest of the game. Also, we recommend emailing the mods to discuss any possible back-story before you apply.

Additionally, Days of Inspiration will be accepting applications for characters from other fandoms on a limited basis to fill the above roles. No magic or special powers will be allowed, and applicants for pan-fandom characters should include the canon their character comes from, and a paragraph on their background within their canon. The application should mention how their background and personality in their canon will be adapted/applied to fit into New York in 1996. An example can be found here.
