Are You The One? - Signups/Announcements


Original RP created by @ sofia


Based on the MTV reality series of the same name, a group of 20-26 contestants are brought together to compete for not just a one million dollar prize, but a prize worth much more, love. Each contestant is paired with another, one who has been calculated to be their Perfect Match. None of them will have any idea who their match is and to win the cash prize, they must discover all of their Perfect Matches.


Each rp “week” will consist of 2 days in the rp. (Each rp day will be 1-2 irl weeks, but can be subject to change based on demand/activity as the rp progresses)

The first day each week will begin with a couple/pair of couples being chosen for a date. (This will be either through random selection, vote, or a challenge) Then while the date occurs, the remaining characters will have the remainder of the day free to mingle and get to know each other, as well as getting to vote a couple from the date into the Truth Booth. This is where everyone gets to receive confirmation if the chosen couple is a Perfect Match.

The second day each week will begin as a free day, but may include an event (such as a party, or a different, optional, activity that could potentially help gain more information) then having the Match Ceremony.

During the Match Ceremony, either the males or the females (it will alternate each week) will choose who they think could be their Perfect Match. Once all of the couples are paired up, the lights present at the ceremony will light up for the amount of pairs sitting together that are Perfect Matches.


Rules for RPers
  • Write at least 4-5 sentences per post please!
  • Please be active, at least 1 full conversation (or more) per character, each RP day.
  • If you can’t be active for some time, or need to drop out, please let me know!
  • If someone leaves the RP, their characters will go up for adoption.
  • Do not share details about your character outside of the RP. Everything anyone (aside from the matchmaker) knows about your character, should be from the faceclaims, or expressed in the RP before it is discussed orp.
  • Make sure to stay in character! This is most important. Keep in character to what you wrote in your signup, as that impacts the matches.
  • This signup thread will not be used for general chat once the RP begins. A separate chat thread will be created.
  • Your character can’t know any other RPer’s character from before the show. But I will allow for your characters to know each other. (Please let me know beforehand though, as it will require my approval, and I don’t want all pairs to necessarily know each other/know each other well.)
  • Sex is allowed in the RP, but explicit details are not, per forum rules. If your characters are doing something explicit, either skip or take it to pm!
  • Unlike in previous seasons of AYTO, if your character finds their Perfect Match in the Truth Booth, they will not leave the house. The pair will receive a private room and must sit together at all following Match Ceremonies, but will still have access to the house and their fellow contestants.
  • Drama. We love drama in this RP, so make it spicy! But only for the characters, Not with each other!
In-RP Rules for Characters
  • No technology/devices with internet access allowed.
  • No outside communication allowed unless otherwise authorized.
  • No movies, books, animals, etc. allowed. (Feel free to ask if something would/wouldn’t be allowed)
  • No leaving the house unless for a date.

When signing up, please make 2 characters, a male and a female, so we can keep gender ratios even. (Ask me beforehand if you want just 1 character, or 2 males, etc.)
Reservations are not required, but reserving beforehand is very helpful. But either way, let me know once you’ve submitted so I know they’re there.

Signups

When you create your characters, please make sure to copy down ALL of their info so you have it throughout the RP. This is very important since very little information will be on the FC slides.

I just want to start this off by say thank you to the amazing @CrazyCaliope for being our matchmaker this season!

She’s done a wonderful job as matchmaker before, so I’m sure she’ll pick some great matches again.


Now to tag everyone who said they were/would maybe be interested:

I would like to reserve a male and female please. I will work on them tomorrow probably.
Question… Could we bring back people from previous ones?

3 Likes

Ooo this looks interesting and fun.

While part of me wants to say yes, since last season didn’t even make it to the first match ceremony, I can’t let them be reused this time.

This is simply because I’m not the matchmaker for this season, and I know too much about the characters from the previous seasons, so it wouldn’t be fair since I had to read everything about the ones before to be matchmaker before. (Other than my own characters’ info, all the info I know about the characters will be what’s in the slides or revealed in the RP, the same as everyone else.)

That’s understandable. No problem

Ahhh, I really want to join, but I have to think a little bit if I can actually make the commitment before reserving. Cause I know how much of a pain it is with this RP specifically if I wouldn’t be able to deliver

Random thought… what about reusing them partially? Like taking the info and tweaking it by at least 40%. It would still be different from previously but also not all the work of a brand new character.

I mean, completely up to you, I’m just spitballing here :sweat_smile:

3 Likes

I suppose that could work.
As long as the updated version character seems different enough to you Cali since I can’t judge it. :sweat_smile:

Like, I’d ideally prefer fully new characters, but I’m open to partial reuse as long as there’s a definable difference.

Okay yeah I’ll actually be joining and make the usual one male one female character

I have a question tho to check if something is allowed but it might give something away about the character so idk, should I still ask you @Littlefeets?

4 Likes

Honestly, I was just sharing an idea. It’s not my RP, I’m just a helper, so it’s whatever you want.

submitted one.. I forgot to put something on the form for her… Who should I pm?

4 Likes

You’re welcome to PM me about any form forgotten stuff. I’ll get to sorting it now and send the FC stuff to Brooke. :wink:

For the mems I’d love to but I fear I have no time

:thinking: That’s a hard one.
Cause if it’s too specific in how it’s tied to character details, it might potentially have to be a Cali question, and she can ask me in a more filtered way.

But I imagine as long as you try to keep it vague/as little revealing as possible, you should be fine asking me in a pm.

Is there an age range?
