What is this game?
Are You the One is a short-term game based off the hit MTV reality dating show, "Are You the One?" There are twenty contestants, evenly split by sex. Over the course of five weeks, contestants must find their destined partner, selected by a complex matchmaking algorithm (actually selected by a group uninvolved in the game). By the end of every week, the group will submit who they believe these perfect pairs are. Should all ten pairs be correct by the first week, everyone will have a wish granted. However, for each week that a pair is incorrect or a new perfect match hasn't been confirmed, one random contestant will lose the right to have their wish granted.

However, there is hope! And that hope is called the Truth Booth!

What the hell is the Truth Booth?
The Truth Booth looks like a harmless and adorable little hut not too far away from the resort. Every Wednesday, the group can vote to send one couple into the Truth Booth to test their compatibility. In other words, it's a surefire way to verify whether the couple is a perfect match or not.

What kind of character can I play here?
There are three requirements: The character must be between the ages of 20-30 (I will accept immortals who are within that realm of mental maturity or humanoids who also fit the bill). They must be able to admit they have terrible luck with relationships. And they must have decided to come here on their own, no being forced or kidnapped. Whether it's because they want to find true love or just really want their wish granted, either is valid.

Does sexual preference matter?
Not really! Gay, straight, bi, pan, ace, anyone is welcome!

What happens if I find my perfect match?
Congratulations to the happy couple! You will now be moving out of the resort you shared with all those people and into a honeymoon suite, complete with all the amenities! You may enjoy your newfound privacy and bask in the knowledge that you did not Fuck It Up.

What if I don't like my perfect match in THAT way?
Welp! You still get a honeymoon suite! But I fully encourage you to ship with whoever the heck you want. Your perfect match is a bodacious blonde bombshell but you're more into that sexy immortal with the perpetual resting bitch face? Go for it! Create all the drama!!

What happens if we guess wrong for the perfect matches?
The game continues, of course! But also one randomly selected contestant will lose their right to make a wish. No one will know who that is until the end of the game, so it's in your best interests to find all the perfect matches as quickly as possible!

How do we find the perfect matches?
How else do you find your true love? Go on dates! Spend time together! There will be little mini-events to encourage the bonding, so mingle with as many people as you can and see what clicks!

Can we bang?
Yes, you can. But you will be doing so in the Boom-Boom Room, unless you've successfully made it to the honeymoon suite, so everyone in the resort will absolutely be aware of what you're doing and who you're doing it with.

Will there be private conversations?
For the most part, no. Everything will be on the community, so all participants can witness the sparks fly and be well-informed enough to be able to decide who to submit as the ten perfect matches by the end of the week. The only exception is for perfect matches that have officially been locked in. Honeymoon suite PCs will be allowed. No voyeurs!

Is there a cast cap?
There is a cast cap of 2 and a player cap of 20.

Who is the Overseer?
A mysterious young lady who is here to answer your questions and check in on your progress. If you're having a hard time getting the matches right, she may be able to offer a hint or two. She seems very invested, for some reason.

Will characters still have any canon powers?
Yes, barring mind-reading and world-ending powers.
