(( OOC Disclaimer ))

(( We’re excited to introduce a unique roleplaying opportunity for players roleplaying (M) characters. Our department acts as what would be Child Protective Services (CPS) OOCly and we aim to bring a different aspect of roleplay by focusing on the care and support of homeless and abandoned minors. This initiative will allow adult characters to engage with the faction by fostering and adopting children within the game.

This RP is open to both legal and illegal minor characters. Legal characters will get an official faction invite, whereas illegal characters will not. Any differences between the two programs are explained in the "SIGN UP HERE" form posted above. Legal characters are also welcome to RP with us, even if you do not want an official faction invite.

Important Reminder:
Please be aware of Rule 6 of our server rules:

"Characters must be at least 16 years old. The only exception to this rule is if you make a character with the intent on getting involved with a gang faction. This is to allow more realistic recruitment for gangs as they typically target teenagers for recruitment. These characters are allowed to be no younger than 12 years old."

This rule applies to all characters engaging in our RP as well.

We hope this new addition enriches your roleplaying experience by offering diverse and meaningful interactions. Whether you choose the legal or illegal path, we’re excited to see the unique stories and connections you create within our department.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please join the LSGOV discord and ask away! ))
