I hope you don't mind my comment after returning to RPG and having a glance over for how it's changed and seeing your roleplay as one of the newest. It is quite the setting you have gone for, and considering the background laid out, I take it the roleplay will take place in a human-supernatural society.

I noticed one of the tags read 'romance', so with the tension? b/w humans (magical) & supernaturals (wolves), that is possible plot-wise, so might I suggest 'Sexuality' in the app to help with plots & to account for sexuality coming out in roleplay, add a known/unknown tag? to look something like:

Sexuality: Bi-curious {Unknown}

So... What year does this RP take place in?

Is this just-after-construction, in 1810, or is this way after?

If this is alternative history (I don't remember Russia ever settling California), how divergent is it? Did the Russians try to settle Alaska with muskets, or are revolvers and cased ammunition a thing yet?

What is the relationship between the two sides of the wall? How much interaction is there between the two sides? Do the wolf-people have a history of violence or abuse? Or are they shunned because they're different?

This rp takes place in the modern day.

It's kind of an altered history kind of not. Most of the world has the same history, except Alaska. Russians did settle Northern California, but it was quickly disputed by Americans and British. Probably muskets, I don't think cased ammunition was a thing yet, but I am by no means a weapons expert.

The relationship between the two sides is complicated. The higher up you go into the upper echelons of society on either side, the more outright hatred and bigotry you'll find for the other. Because the lower class people tend to live the closest to the wall, and thus, the closest to the other side, they are the friendliest with each other. Trade does exist both ways. The mayor has always been human, and usually holds the position for life. Legally, anyone could live on either side, but there are no shifter families on the human side and vice versa. Mixed species couplings are also taboo, and expressly forbidden by law.

Does Alaska still exist, as Alaska, as part of the United States?

Why is 2016 Alaska-with-werewolf-people not, like, surrounded by scientists and vloggers? Does it fall under USA jurisdiction and law, and local Alaskan law, and local city ordinances? Is it an unincorporated territory, or a proper official city?

[Totchocity1]

Alaska does still exist. Most of US history is the same. The outer walls protect Glass Cliffs from a lot of the scrutiny it faces, and part of the curse is to keep the people separate from each other and the rest of the world. People tend to just forget about Glass Cliffs. It's basically a full-on self-governed city state.

Are the people of Glass Cliffs also "forgetful" of the outside world?

Do they have the Internet, and just don't feel the desire to create a Glass Cliffs wikipedia entry or Youtube channel?

[Totchocity1]

Not as much. They don't really appreciate unwanted scrutiny. Who would? They do have Internet access.

There could definitely be a role for an outsider who has come to investigate, though, if for any reason they were immune to the effects of the curse.
