SETTING
![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) hampshire is obviously, set in New Hampshire. The town is Portsmouth, a town right on the border of Maine. The town is simply a name and setting to the game and we don't claim to know everything about the town or setting.
Portsmouth, N.H., a city of roughly 21,000 people, sits near the mouth of the Piscataqua River, a short, wide river that divides New Hampshire and Maine. The city also is at the hub of a metropolitan region that includes the cities of Rochester and Dover, N.H., and many towns – Exeter, Hampton, Greenland, Stratham, Newington, and Rye, N.H.; Kittery, Eliot, South Berwick and York, Maine; and others.
Settled in 1623, Portsmouth claims to be the nation's third-oldest city. It served as a focal point on the Eastern seaboard until the late 1800s when rail travel did in the shipping industry. John Paul Jones' ship The Ranger was built in Portsmouth, and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (which lies across the river in Maine) was established in 1800 as the country's first Naval shipyard.
The geographic location, historic past and cultural strength of Portsmouth regularly lands it on various "best places to live" lists. Prevention Magazine named Portsmouth one of the top 100 walking cities in the America for 2008. Also in 2008, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Portsmouth to its list of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations , calling the city "one of the most culturally rich destinations in the country."with a stimulating mix of historic buildings, sidewalk cafes, great restaurants, art galleries, jazz clubs and distinctive artisans' boutiques."
The region as whole is noted for its many restaurants, attractions and shopping opportunities, which include downtown Portsmouth, outlet malls Kittery, Maine, as well as major malls in Newington, New Hampshire.
In January 2008, the local economy appeared to be doing slightly better than the rest of the country. Incomes were relatively high, unemployment fairly low. Housing costs were high and the vacancy rate low. The redevelopment of Pease Air Force Base continued to generate new job opportunties.

Pretty much, we feel that everyone should know the rules and what's expected in rp world these days but unfortunately, some don't. So, follow the rules. Basically, don't cross in character and out of character lines. Be respectful and mature and generally, don't be a douche bag.
Keep all journal names part of your character's name. No underscores, numbers or x's. Nothing unnecessary should be in your character journal. Aim names? Just like most games, put your character's first last or middle name somewhere into the screen name. No numbers or x's please!
Yeah, this is a song community. One was going to open, but it didn't and so this one is put together. We're aware other's had the same idea and we have no intentions on copying that. It's just a theme. The setting is different. For the 'theme', your character is basically based off of a song of your choosing. Choose a song, base your character on it or write a character up and choose their 'theme song'.
This is an adult game. Characters should be graduated from high school. 18 years is the minimum age. College kids are allowed but the game is not limited to it. Be creative with your character's jobs! Not everyone is rich. Not everyone is poor. Not everyone is a fashion designer. Keep that in mind please. Oh yeah, p.s, keep it realistic.
This game is not first come, first serve. So yeah, we do allow challenges on faces and songs. However, faces shouldn't be the priority to your character. We will accept the best application with the best details and best writing. That simple. If we like both applications - we'll give who we choose a chance to change their pb. If you refuse, sorry.
Activity. You have one week to post an introduction in the intro community. It's so easy. Updating limit? Three weeks. We do not find this to be unacceptable. One liners? Not acceptable. Also, please consider threading as well as aim scenes.
Last but not least, slash. It's allowed, but realistically. Yes, it's an RP but this is a game that we don't want overrun by slash. Nothing against it, we're all for it. Just not to the point it's what the whole game is. There are slash games if you're interested in just that.
