As of now Ain’t No Grave is inactive. At some point we will be planning a revamp. In the meantime we hope everyone is well and we look forward to writing with everyone again in the future.
Anonymous asked:
Any new bios coming out soon?
We have lots of ideas, but there probably won’t be any new bios ‘til some of the ones that we already have out are taken.
Anonymous asked:
Are there any new species that will probably be joining the rp? What about those that appears as Unknown?
There will always be new species that are joining in! In fact we’d love to hear any ideas people might have for some to add. The ones that are unknown is a way for the writer to have creative license with the character. We left some characters unknown because we could see them being a certain species or completely human. We’re leaving that part of the character up to interpretation.
Anonymous asked:
Are there any restrictions for what kind of species a character can be?
We try not to restrict what species the characters can be, but we love a good overlooked or not as common species or take on a certain species. (i.e. instead of choosing a generic witch choosing an interesting variant like a bruja for a Latinx character.)
Anonymous asked:
Is there a page where we can get more information about the species? Or can the players have their own take of each of them?
We typically let the players have freedom with their characters in that sense. We have a little bit of basic folklore infused in their bios, some with some twists, some without. What species are you looking at? If you want to message us off anon, we can definitely help you!
It’s been a while since you all have been prompted with a task, so how about two to make up for lost times? It just doubles the fun if you ask me. As always, a task is, especially not two at once are not required of you, but is highly encouraged to further explore yourselves and to have a little fun while you’re at it.

It seems that a lot of citizens in Barton Hollow are seeking new homes and/or are the process of moving. Why not share with us some of your home flair and inspiration? Do you prefer minimalism, ornate, or a happy medium? Rustic or chic?

Anonymous asked:
Could any characters come out of retirement?
For some characters it could be a possibility, but for others it is highly unlikely. It would all depend on which character is in question.

Is Marigold going to be related to Bella and Thornton?
Not at all. In fact she’s Madeleine Watson’s younger sister.

I've been working on an OC app but I'm nervous about the word limit for the sample. What if it's not long enough?
Please feel free to go ahead and send it in anyway! The word limit is more of a guideline to give us a good feel for the character.
PLEASE UNFOLLOW
The player has opted out of her original character role due to lack of inspiration.
Anonymous asked:
What open characters are most important in your plot?
The entire McKay family is desperately needed along with Felix Fitzgerald, Wolfgang Nash, Samuel Proctor, Lane Avery, Antonio Fierro, Abel Sweeney, and Divya O’Shea. Though we definitely welcome apps for all characters because at the end of the day they’re all amazingly important to the plot.
It’s not an event in Barton Hollow without a body count it seems. There are always corpses coming up here and there even during one of jolliest times of the year. It was noted that one Warren Sims was absent from the party, something that was extremely unusual considering his normally convivial nature. The morning after Marilyn’s party, Warren was found dead in his home. He appeared to be peacefully asleep in his bed, but on further investigation, it appears that he may have suffocated in his sleep while heavily intoxicated. It is unknown at this time if foul play is at hand, but it can always be expected. Given Warren’s clairvoyant nature, however, it would be no surprise if someone wanted him dead. More details on this matter are to come.

Not much is known about Presley’s past. She likes to keep that to herself. What’s with such a blatantly fake name, though?
● DOWN TO THE RIVER TO PRAY;
Presley is newer to Barton Hollow but rather well-liked by most of her fellow citizens. She simply enjoys the intimacy of the small town, but she knows something just isn’t quite right with them, especially the old money folks. She doesn’t question it, though. They’ve let her immerse herself into the hustle and bustle of their obscure chaos. All they know about her is that anything is better than whatever it was that happened to her before she moved to town–well, and that she takes a lot of pictures.
● ALL OF BARTON HOLLOW KNOWS;
Somehow, despite being so new to town, Presley knows many citizens of Barton Hollow; most like her, while some are wary of her. Whitley, Talon, and Tallulah Marchbanks have all been acquainted with Presley but are unsure of her intentions. Juniper Lee has been in negotiations with Miss Monroe about a house atop a hill that overlooks the park and much of the town. She’s become somewhat friends with Matilda Reyes during her short time in town and is well acquainted with Roxanne McKay as well. Felix Fitzgerald is her lawyer.

Byron Constantin is the definition of handsome but dumb. Had it not been for his rich father, he would not have gotten literally anything he’s had in life. His high school diploma and college degree in business were bought via generous donations to the schools. Byron never truly realized that he was little more than a pretty face and was the picture of vapidness. When he was fresh out of college he got a job with Andromeda Beckett as a secretary at her publishing company that she inherited from her father. It wasn’t long ‘til Andromeda was forced to fire Byron due to his incompetence. Byron has never forgotten that and took being fired as an insult to both him and his intelligence. In turn, a few years later, he asked his father to purchase a publishing company for him to be CEO of in order to spite Mrs. Beckett. However, the supposed revenge failed, and Byron had to hire someone to actually run his company, Constantin Press, for him and is simply CEO in name only. Byron isn’t able to tell anyone the first thing about the publishing business, but he will definitely pretend he’s an expert in the field.
Barton Hollow has typically been a boring place for Byron since his parents uprooted him and moved him from Atlanta to the sleepy town when he was in high school. Thankfully, there is no shortage of beautiful people for him to attempt to woo and enough mischief to keep him somewhat entertained. Sometimes, he thinks he was destined for more than this town, but he’s far too afraid to stray from his parents who pay for virtually everything in his life. However, being an only child means that in the future that wealth will be his, which has its own sort of perks because he can often sway people to do whatever he pleases or attract any sort of person that he wants.
● DOWN TO THE RIVER TO PRAY;
Currently, Byron has taken up with Rosemary Beckett, his former employer’s daughter. Rosemary is certainly his type of person, beautiful and rich. He’s extremely aware she is far more cunning than he is and is more than happy to allow her to take the wheel in their relationship. One could call him her own personal boytoy. It’s like she has a sort of power over him and often after their sexual encounters he feels exhausted. Perhaps the sex really is just that good. Whatever it is, he could see himself building an empire with this intelligent and fierce woman, or well, letting her build and empire and him be there for the building of it to be more accurate.
●ALL OF BARTON HOLLOW KNOWS;
Byron is the lover and current fling of the powerful and magnetic Rosemary Beckett. By extension of Rosemary he knows her sister Gillian Beckett, who wants nearly nothing to do with him. He has become fairly good friends with the decidedly shady Galen Reece, though he is sure that shadiness can somehow be used to his advantage. It didn’t take Byron long to make enemies with Orson Sims, but most people in town aren’t sure what the origins of that relationship are. He’s tried making friends with the likes of Divya O’Shea because of her connections and wealth, however, that’s not working out too well.

We admins have been concocting a special holiday event and have recently made a post about it. The event will take place from December 21st to December 27th.

Players are encouraged to post the attire that their character(s) is(are) wearing that evening if they so desire. Be on the look out for some plot drops too during the whole event!
‘Tis the season to flatter and curry favor, or so interim mayor Marilyn Fitzgerald might think. Everyone is cordially invited to Fitzgerald Manor in the east end of Barton Hollow for fraternization, complimentary holiday-themed booze and hor d’oeuvres, and undoubtedly some drama. Madame Mayor asks everyone to dress to nine ladies dancing and come out and have an old fashioned Fitzgerald family Christmas. There will be no expense spared and the gala is sure to dazzle. Come one, come all since this might be the last chance to look inside the ritzy ancestral home of the Fitzgeralds.
