OVERVIEW
WELCOME to HOTEL, a post-COVID slice-of-life idol PB community with a supernatural twist. The community is centered around a collective of people who have been scouted for a reality TV show and the local residents of Everly, Massachusetts. The cast has been invited to stay at the haunted Everly Hotel. All-inclusive and all expenses paid!

THE RULES are very simple. Please be respectful and do not blur IC & OOC. This is a community with diverse themes ranging from light to dark. If you cannot handle IC drama, this may not be the community for you. As a courtesy to others, please provide a trigger warning and place anything that might be triggering under a cut.

EVERLY
EVERLY, Massachusetts is a fictional mid-size city located in between Boston and Salem. Due to it's more popular neighbors, Everly has gone largely unnoticed despite being a true supernatural hot spot. It can be described as a place that feels like a big city and small town at the same time.

THE HOTEL

The Everly Hotel's amentities include room service, a restaurant and bar called the Raven Lounge, fitness center, and indoor pool.

APPLYING
Please note all characters should be original. The core five species that control Everly are vampires, werewolves, demons, fairies, and witches.

We do not discourage either or!

We're casual here! We understand character development may happen after joining, so we don't require novel-length bios but we do expect some level of effort. Your character's basic information is a must and a short paragraph will do! Please do not apply with unfinished bios filled with placeholder text.
↪A backdated friends only post.
No examples are needed.
Not everyone will be accepted, so please try to fit in with how you set up. If you need icon or journal resources, please let us know!

UPON ACCEPTANCE please introduce your character within 72 hours. We will have surveys available as an option but any interactive form of activity is acceptable.

ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS
ONE (1) interactive post a month.
This rule is subject to change later on if it becomes an issue but for now we would like to be as lax as possible.

DISCORD, TELEGRAM, WIRE, and so forth are not allowed. We want to encourage activity on the friend's page and writing. Please post (on IJ) and write away to your heart's content! If found either advertising or using an app, you will be removed from the community.

FAQ
Can my character be an employee at the Everly Hotel or a crew member?
Yes to both! Crew members will have the option to stay at the hotel or offsite somewhere in Everly. The only exception to this is the owner of the Everly Hotel who will be an NPC.
