PHASE ONE ⚓ THE CASTAWAYS. Two distinct group of cats with differing values stuck on the same ship. Both are groups brought together and bound not by blood but by a sense of camaraderie. What is a squabbling mass of European ship cats to do when they end up in a shipwreck on a mysterious archipelago, and dive into the unknown together, forced to work together in spite of what divides them?

🚢 The Voyagers

Free-spirited travelers that seek to satisfy their wanderlust

Have a code that dictates giving aid to those in need that they encounter on their journeys

Have a philosophy of altruism, working for the betterment of the many even at at the cost of oneself

🏴‍☠️ The Pillagers

Brought together by the motivation to exact their will upon outsiders and take what they need without resistance, rule by fear and power

Leadership and who calls the shots is dictated by the ability to use force or charisma to influence others

Have a philosophy of hedonism and promotion of self-interest

Of the Sun and Rains is an 18+ SFW cat roleplay heavily inspired by Warrior Cats. It is set in a tropical archipelago inspired mainly by the Philippines but also other Southeast Asian countries. There is an addendum to the 18+ rule - if you're not 18 yet, you are allowed to join if you fall under the following grace period: if you're 17 and your birthday is coming up within the next two weeks.

A lot of creative freedom with character designs (not a genetics-based server so you can submit naturally-colored designs that aren't possible in reality)

Adoptable character designs with tryouts

Developed naming system and ranks

Lore to be developed throughout the story

Characters can have pre-established relationships discussed before the roleplay begins

Lax activity checks (every month or every other month, mainly for high ranks)

Plans for non-domestic-cat playable species in the future

Reference art required - if you can't draw and have a character written and fleshed out, you can request the server owner to draw your character for free!

Submit an original character of yours in the Discord!

If interested, feel free to join the server! You can join as a a spectator or an early access roleplayer. The server is in the process of being completed - latest update is work being done on the locations. Staff applications are open and appreciated, I'm looking for these different skills:

Moderation experience

Skill in mediating conflict

Character reviews and acceptance

Adoptable artists

Adoptable tryout judges

Someone systematic, pragmatic and organized (good with scheduling and keeping a server active and keeping people interested)

Writing experience, especially with constructing plots and events

Permanent Invite: https://discord.gg/PfkJw925rc

Voice claim: Lito Rodriguez (Sense8 - Miguel Ángel Silvestre) CW: Yelling, swearing Hawk-moth design and art by me (ruddfur/zoocyte/tagasulat).

Rules

01. These character designs are to be exclusively used for the roleplay Of the Sun and Rains. You are free to use them outside of the roleplay if they are killed in-rp.

02. Once you win a tryout, you do not have full ownership of the character design until you achieve two weeks of consistent roleplaying with the character. Once you reach those two weeks, the character design is fully owned by you, and even if you leave the server, the design remains yours and can be used outside of the roleplay.

03. If you leave the server before the two week cutoff, the character design will be reclaimed by OTSAR staff to be re-homed. Depending on how significant of an impact your character had in the story, the new tryout for the design will either be a blank slate (if your character did not impact the plot), or will retain the basic information about the character you wrote (if your character made a major impact on the plot).

04. As an addition to the above scenario, you will be credited for your portion of the writing, but the new owner is free to develop the character further into any direction they please.

05. You may submit as many character concept applications for the same cat as you like (just be reasonable and have limitations), and if you win, the judges will pick among your forms which character concept is the best fit for the roleplay.

06. You can apply for multiple cat tryouts, though how many you'll be allowed to win will depend on how many people are interested in this roleplay.

07. Place content warnings for any mentions of abuse or heavy subjects tackled in your character's biography. Sexual abuse is not allowed in this roleplay.
