Tame
Middlebroke High School, on the outside, looks like a typical and respectable school; its grades are good, its facilities are good, and parents never have any complaints. However, underneath its calm exterior, one finds many organisations run by students vying for control of the school's underground crime scene. Apparently completely secret from teachers and parents, these groups war against each other simply for the power it lends them during their time at school; being in complete power would effectively mean being able to control the school. At the heart of these wars are dangerous battles and behind them, scheming and underhand politics.


This RPG revolves around the members of such groups, their relationships with each other, their wars with other groups in the school, and, if it lasts that long, even their wars with similar groups from different schools.

It will start at the beginning of a new academic year; lots of groups will be looking for new recruits to draft, giving a chance for players to interact with each other right off the bat. As well as my own PC, I'll also play various NPCs. I’m looking for, ideally, at least five or six members to participate.

I don't intend this RPG to be a generic "fighting in school" RPG, and hopefully it doesn't appear so. However, emphasis will very much be on the underground 'organised crime'-type groups, and almost none at all on the education aspect of the school (You'll never see a teacher or have to go to any lessons).
Also, I don't intend character development to play second fiddle to constant fighting, but neither I do I want it to be all talking and no action.
I'm going to have to put this RPG in the category of freeform because there isn't an immediate overall plot. Rather, it will consist of several arcs with differing plotlines, the first of which will begin to become apparent early on during the RP. That said, nothing is set in stone, and it will be as much up to Players to develop the plot.



Setting
The setting is completely modern. It isn't set in any particular country because it doesn't matter too much.
Physics can be stretched slightly (so unlikely things to happen may happen, including half a school being proficient fighters and possessing weapons of varying degrees of deadliness), but not broken entirely. So no jumping off rooftops or summoning of monkey gods!


About the School
-Middlebroke High caters for the last three years of a child's education, from age 15 to 18.
-Each year group has about 600 students, making it a very large school in all.
-The school is four floors high, with a basement beneath which is kept locked and cannot be accessed by most of the student population.
-It is also divided vertically into three sections, each painted and named a different color: pink, blue and green.
-It has everything a regular school would: classrooms, a teacher's lounge, a student lounge, labs, a cafeteria, a theatre, and a sports hall and swimming pool in a separate building.
-There is no uniform, and is generally pretty relaxed; students can do as little or as much work as they want, and usually get the grades they deserve accordingly.
(I'll post a map of the school before the RPG begins.)

-Monthly Battle: This practice takes place, unsurprisingly, once a month, as well as special battles taking place at the beginning of each academic year. It is a kind of set-piece exhibition match, which anyone can participate in. Battles happen around the school and anyone can turn up to watch. Most of the school goes to watch these, and is a good place to show off one's ability. Groups also take them as opportunities to do some scouting for potential members.
More details of this event will be given during the RPG.

NOTE: This won't be a large part of the RPG. It will only be featured once, possibly twice, and never in its entirety. All that will be shown is what's necessary for the plot or for characters to interact.


About the Underground Groups
-There are four main organisations in the school's underground. Three are the largest groups in the constant battles for power. The fourth is an unnamed group which works outside the battles.

The Upper Crust
-The largest and best-known group, since anyone can join. Many different cliques are members, notably almost all jocks and juvies. Many of its members are also just hangers-on who hope to rise up the social ladder by joining.

It is the least organised of the major groups, but its huge numbers (estimated at between 25-30% of the student body) make it the single most powerful group in the school. Some believe that if it were properly organised, it could destroy the other two most powerful groups.

Until a year and a half ago it was led by an intelligent and charming man who was very kind to everyone and never participated in or instigated any fights. In his third year, a few months before he was going to take his final exams, a student was found by the police, severely beaten by unknown members of the Upper Crust. Their leader was framed, but he willingly took the fall for his team-mates. Since then the Upper Crust has fallen into the disorganised, though nevertheless large and powerful mess that it now is.

Their base of operations is the whole school in general, though in particular the student lounge (3rd Floor), where only its most elite members may tread.

Omnia Veritas
-The second of the three largest teams. Smaller than the Upper Crust, but far more organised.
It concentrates on tactics over force or strength of numbers. All members are brilliant tacticians, in and outside of battle. They scout potential members from all other groups on the basis of being good strategists.
They also have a good intelligence division and a database of students, albeit a far less complete one than that of the Outside Organisation.
This group rose to prominence over the last year with the decline of the Upper Crust's power.
Their base of operations is a hidden room behind the library (2nd Floor).

Sanguerone
-The third major group. Like Omnia Veritas, it is smaller than the Upper Crust, but more elite. The team leader will ask anyone to join whose personality he likes, regardless of ability. As a result, many are just the leader's friends.
Its core members are its strongest fighters and its core supporters are the leader's closest friends.
This group also rose to prominence over the last year with the decline of the Upper Crust's power.
Their base of operations is the basement beneath the school.

Outside Organisation
-A group operating independently of any other, whose specialty is intelligence, and whose members are generally unknown. It organises the Monthly Battle match-ups, and has exact lists of the members of all Underground groups, as well as full information on those members. They are also responsible for covering up all Underground activity from staff.

Their recruiting policy and base of operations are both unknown, and they have no official name, but are referred to as the Outside Organisation by everyone in the school.

-There are also many other smaller groups, some working under the guise of a particular club or society. Some such groups act as mini-businesses, others as mercenary groups lending their services to whoever pays the most. Some are independent, while others may only appear so (particularly the mini-business), when they are actually run by a larger group.


"Rules"
-Within the school, there is a rigid code which all are honour-bound to follow, agreed upon by mutual consent. It mainly consists of the following three major rules:

1) No guns: No matter what other weapons are used, guns are forbidden.
2) No "assassinations" during school hours: This refers to surprise attacks. If fighting is to occur it must do so off the school premises, or else outside the hours of 9am and 4pm. This is to maintain secrecy from staff, but also so that people can walk the school corridors without constant fear.
3) Omerta: The most important rule. No one is to involve outside authorities, including parents, teachers or the police matters, of underground activity. If one is questioned or apprehended, they are forbidden from revealing a thing. This rule also means being forbidden from threatening or assaulting friends of enemies.

Breaking these rules means usually means losing all support from their group, and often results in the perpetrator being assaulted, either by his former comrades or by members of other groups.


Actual Rules
1) Posts must be fully literate and of a decent length (though not necessarily essay length).
2) Applicants must be willing to post pretty regularly. If for any reason you can't, tell me beforehand.
3) I reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who doesn't seem up to it (though I hate doing this).
4) Three warnings are given for rule-breaking before I'll ask you to leave (includes god-modding and severe cases of illiterate posting).
5) No controlling other people's characters! You can control minor NPCs, but no PCs, and no NPCs who is integral to the plot.


Character FormsPlease fill in this form and post it here. Details on each section are found below.
You can be a student from any year, any group and any position on the social radar, even a leader of one of the main groups (provided you don't play a member of the first year).

User Name:
Character Name:
Affiliation: ie. What group they belong to. If they don't yet belong to one, but you plan to have them join one, mention the fact (and which one, if you have one in mind.) If you don't have any plans for them to join any group, mention that too.
Year of School: 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
Age: Their age depends on what year of school they begin the RPG in. (15 for 1st year, 16 for 2nd, 17 for 3rd.)
Gender:
Appearance: If you have a picture, that's fine. If not, please describe in some details.
Personality: Go into some detail here as well; you can't sum up someone's personality in three words.
Likes: Put two or three things; this bit is just for fun.
Dislikes:
History:
School Subjects: 3-4. Pick anything.
Weapons: Anything within reason, but no guns!
Skills: Include anything useful in the underground war, in or out of combat. And don't go overboard - please just a couple that are relatively realistic.

A few things to bear in mind while making your character:
When choosing a character's affiliation, remember the types of people each consists of - don't have a block-headed powerhouse as the leader of the group which specialises in tactics.
Also, although you can create your own groups, bear in mind the fact that if every single PC is part of a different group it will make it all that much more difficult for them to interact with each other.
Finally, although being leader of one of the three main groups will immediately give you character a central role, it doesn't mean that they'll be immediately more important than the other characters - they won't! And of course, if any of the spots as leaders are not taken, I'll provide NPCs to run them.

...And here's my character:

User Name: Tame
Character Name: Johan Marlowe
Affiliation: Sanguerone
Year of School: 3rd
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: A good-looking young man, 5’10” in height, and slim, even skinny in build. He has messy, medium-length brown hair, a square jaw and shrewd hazel-brown eyes, topped by thick dark eyebrows. He can always be found to be wearing straight cut jeans, a t-shirt, and zip-up hoodie, with feet adorned in Converse All-Stars.
Personality: Arrogant and charming Johan takes no prisoners and only tolerates those whom he can gain from. Having a rebellious and independent nature he enjoys solitude and very occasionally participates in social activities (though if there is a party he will most likely be there feeling far superior to all those around him). He doesn’t like to be tied down and anyone who threatens his independence will be got rid of quickly. Rarely a team player he looks out for himself and a handful people who are very dear to him, though if pushed he will cooperate in an emergency reluctantly taking orders from others. Though normally a relatively relaxed person he can get very agitated if hungry or tired, and when he is like this is best to leave him alone.
Held back by his severe desire to be independent, he has very few friends, however those he does have he is deeply loyal to and protective of. The people he becomes close to are able to see that he does have softer and funny side rather than his egotistical and narcissistic front that he projects.
History: In his first year at Middlebroke, he and his friends (with whom he had little in common) stooged for the higher-ups in the Upper Crust. Johan soon grew tired of this and scornful of his friends, however, and broke away from them and the Upper Crust. Becoming something of a social hermit, he spent his time observing the different underground groups and judging each. He also began to train himself in using tonfa, which he quickly found himself proficient at. After several months of training, he met and befriended the leader of Sanguerone, whose up-and-coming group he joined. Since then he has been a member of the inner ring of Sanguerone, and lends his fighting strength and knowledge to their course.
Likes: Himself, Crisps, Fighting
Dislikes: Most people
School Subjects: Philosophy, Economics, Politics
Weapons: A pair of twin black oak tonfa.
Skills:
-Tonfa jutsu: Is an expert wielder of tonfa.

-Sneaky sneak sneak: Habitually walks without a sound, often accidentally scaring people. Consequently wears squeaky shoes most of the time, except for when there is a call for stealth.


Final thoughts
I posted this RPG in another forum, though one with a barely existent RPG section. It received a little interest, but only one person applied, so it never got off the ground. I'm posting it here in the hope that it will receive more attention.
Taunt
User Name: Taunt

Character Name: Jessica Wiles

Affiliation: The Upper Crust

Year of School: 2nd

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short and slim, a pretty 5’3” young woman with sharp blue eyes. She has a impish grin with short choppy ash blonde hair. Jess usually skulks round in a pair of blue jeans and a blue or red tank top along with whatever shoes she can be bothered to find.

Personality: Jess loves to read, and uses others knowledge to her advantage, especially when ignorant others believe she is absorbed in a book when she is really listening to them. However, is she is really into a book and someone disturbs her she gets very upset and shouts at them. She likes company occasionally but only in small groups, as in large groups she feels overwhelmed. She has a cruel violent streak that comes out when she feels that she isn’t being paid enough attention or when she is in a bad mood. She enjoys being the centre of attention and being in control, and thus takes over situations quickly.
She is the most relaxed around her closest friends and/or with a good book to read. Even though she finds it hard to make real friends, she is very loyal and gets aggressive when her friends are threatened and hurt by others.

History: In her first year at Middlebrooke she joined the Upper Crust shunning the smaller Sanguerone thinking that having to suck up to the boss would be demeaning to her. Having fought through the lower ranks of the Upper Crust she is now happy with her mid position in the group, having minor influence on those higher than her. She has been training with short swords and knives for a few years, but she feels she is still too slow and eventually hen she feels fast enough will proceed up the social ladder within the Upper Crust.

Likes: Cats, Books, Egg Fried Rice

Dislikes: Bugs, People who can’t be quiet when she’s trying to read, Talking to answer phones

School Subjects: Maths, Ethics, English.

Weapons: Wakizashi, Long Knives.

Skills:
Observes opponents - She will quietly watch and listen to all those around her to gain advantages when the time comes for attacking rivals (within and with-out the Upper Crust.)
Concealment - Mainly used when she wants to get away from people but when needed she can watch quietly without any ones knowledge. She finds it easy to find places to fit her small body and walk quietly to and from her hiding places.

Dream of Purity
This rpg sounds really interesting, if it does attract a little more attention, I would be happy to join.... I will have to work a character or two out, but I have pretty good ideas...


Questions:
How many characters can one individual play? (pc)

Do characters of one person know the info of characters belonging to another person? (ie. skills, fighting style, intelligence)

In the case of larger weapons, do we need to provide a method of hiding for that weapon? (naginata, nodachi etc.)


Overall, I think this is a pretty good idea, the 'no guns' rule will make it far more interesting...

I hope to be a part of it...
Tame
Taunt, Original Vampire, thank you for joining! Both applications look great, so they're both accepted.

DoF, to answer your first question, the maximum number of characters per person (not including NPCs) is two. I may increase this to three however, if sufficient people apply. The reason that it isn't at three straight away is that if one person were to make three or more characters, they'd be controlling half the cast.

Regarding people's knowledge of each other, it depends. No one will have knowledge of first years' abilities, since they haven't had a chance to see them. For the same reason, first years are ignorant of everyone else's.

As for second and third years, it is likely that the most prominent members of any group are quite well-known amongst their peers. At the Monthly Battles it is likely that they are the ones whose battles people like to watch, so any abilities they have shown publicly are probably known to most people. However, anyone may choose to hide their full strength or range of talents, so full knowledge of their abilities may not necessarily be well-known.

Knowledge of the abilities of lower-down members is varied, depending on how often they fight and whether they show their abilities off or not. However, many people are recruited to a group for their fighting strength, so assume that their abilities are at least partially known to their leader.


Finally, the question of large weapons. I can't readily think of a solution; ideally I'd like people to be able to carry them about with them at any time. I think for the moment assume that whatever you carry with you, it goes unnoticed by the staff provided you disguise it (no matter how feeble the disguise is). Since authority figures will be entirely absent from the RPG, it doesn't matter too much. Its up to you really, depending on how realistic you want to be. You could have your character store or hide it during the day, or carry it around hidden in something, or on the other hand you could just swing it around for all to see.

I'm sorry about not being able to give you a very clear answer, if I think of a solution I'll tell you. Thanks for taking an interest, and if your character does use a naginata or nodachi, then cool choice of weapon.
Old-Schooler
Character Name: Vorst (or 'V') McFadden

Affiliation: Untamed
*(A mercenary group who's name is only known to the several few apart of it. I pretty much gave it a name to say its not one of the four based affiliations) It has about eight or nine members, all of which V could pick out of a crowd.

Year of School: 3rd.

Age: 17

Appearance: A medium height, 5' 9'', individual with shoulder length dirty blonde hair, typically wears red sunglasses but has ice blue eyes. V wears a white T-shirt with a wife-beater underneath. V usually wears plad dark brown/tan shorts the go about 2 inches past his knees, skate shoes and ankle socks. His accessories include a spike belt holding up his shorts, a variety of rings on each finger except his thumbs, and a barbell earring on the top part of his ear.

Personality: Doesn't talk much to outsiders other than recruits and his group. Kind at heart but usually is strict with orders and a little pissed off. He gives back the same respect hes given to others, however he gives his clique a little more respect than they deserve because they stay by him and follow what he says.

Likes: Blood, watching a bloody fight, and the respect hes given

Dislikes: Dishonor, betrayal, and Sarcasm (when its the disrespectful-type, funny sarcasm is okay.)

History: V comes from a typical home, a Mom and Pop with younger siblings, being the oldest of three. V only looks the way he does because his parents trust him enough to make the right decisions ad don't care how he looks.
V gets the typical glances of disgust from the larger part of the school but what they don't know is that when they need a dirty deed done that they can't do themselves, they sometimes or usually go to his men. V started his own little clique because he was always the outcast, but now he was the outcast peopled needed the most which was a good feeling. V's group, when on a 'mission', wear plain white faceless masks and are strictly reminded by V himself never to talk unless it is completely necessary, as to maintain secrecy. Neutrality comes in Secrecy he tells them.

School Subjects: Phys-Ed, Math, Chemistry and Art.

Weapons: Brass knuckles, and when it calls for them, Nunchucks. +image+

Skills: Some experience with his nunchuck (not an expert, but not a rookie). Elaborate map making (that includes which ventilation shafts lead to where etc)

Untamed: A small clique taking pride in their secrecy, about eight or nine members strong. They're more about power in numbers rather than one big brute. Being so small, everyone is typically close to one another keeping a strong bond. Their potential meeting place is above the auditorium stage inside the catwalks where V found a lounge area in his first year. It was used mainly for storage at that time, but it hadn't been touched in a few years it seemed. They wear white, plain faced masks when they are asked for a favor, or as they call them missions.



--
questions / complaints semi-appreciated lol
--
More info on the clique//group may be provided if needed, but I would like to ask that my group, Untamed, remained a secret organization like the Outside group (thus why I wanted it a sub-group from them, to have the secrecy concept applied) and its named remain only to the members. Outsiders can call it whatever they want to make relevance to it, like the 'secret mercenary group', or whatever he/she has in mind.
Tame
Thanks for applying, you're application is mostly good, but there are a few small details that need ironing out. The first is Vorst's age. Students in the 3rd year begin aged 17 and have their 18th birthday at some point during the year. Your character could be 18, but their birthday would have been at some point in the three or four days prior to the RPG's beginning (the first day of the academic year). If you don't mind this, though, then neither do I.

Secondly, your skills. With street fighting, nunchaku experience, stealth and map-making you have four. Compared to other character's two, this is unfair, so please remove two of your own to even things up. EDIT: I suggest one of the two you remove is street fighting experience; most all characters who fight will have experience. That is, unless you have it so he can specialise in one aspect of street fighting (like OriginalVampire's character being especially good at using surroundings to his advantage).

Finally, as you surmised, I am going to ask questions about Untamed.

I should start by elaborating on the Outside Organisation. I should have perhaps made it more clear that they specialise in intelligence and secrecy only; they do not take any active part in the war besides organisation and cover-ups. They pride themselves on keeping total secrecy, and hold no meetings, publicly or privately, keep no physical documents, but memorise everything, with the supposition that one little leak could potentially become a lake.

That in mind, sending out its members' to battle where they risk getting captured and questioned isn't something they would do. In short, you may have such an organisation as you propose, but it wouldn't be connected to the Outside Organisation, and nor would its levels of secrecy match it.

Other matters are only minor. How does one contact your group? How many members does it have? Make the changes I mentioned, answer these, and you're in. If I think of more questions, I may ask in due course if that's cool.

EDIT: Also should have mentioned, but could you include the character's full name as well?
Kestrel
Yo, Cry here, though high-school things aren't exactly the kind of category I apply to, Penumbra Cielo proved to be interesting so I trust you'll keep this interesting also wink.gif Another question before starting, is it possible to join in later? If not you can pretty much forget the below content, I'll be able to post tomorrow morning or, well, after the 11th of August.

User Name: Kestrel

Character Name: Sissi 'Sis' Sellick

Affiliation: No plans yet.

Year of School: 3rd

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short hair, mix of brown and dark blonde, dark brown eyes, tanned skin, bit taller than your average girl but not by much, relatively muscular however. Sisse has several piercings in her left eyebrow and one in her belly-button. She tends to wear jackets at all times, usually paired with a pair of jeans and a shirt. She also carries her bass guitar with her on her back but is also known to hide something in the trunk on accasions.

Update: Now with crappy sketch! Click.

Personality
: People tend walk around her because of the combination of her 'scary' appaerence and her general rulebending. She's known to pass a lot of time in the principal's office and is rumoured to have been in contact with the police on several occasions. Sissi sports a generic 'I don't care-attitude' in public but is known to be fired up if she is challenged. She used to be in the school's swimming team but was kicked out because of her 'rulebending' and her grades being on the 'edge'. Thus she searches for other interesting challenges during school-time. Three guesses where she ended up.
Sissi is also very confronting, to others but also herself. Even so she does not seem to have solved the 'why-do-I--do-what-I-do-problem' which has haunted her since being kicked out of the swimming team.

Likes
: Sissi is in love with her music, if a day passes by without her pulling a string, something is very, very wrong. She also is very competetive and likes coming out on top.

Dislikes: Sissi hates being prejudiced, resulting into people doing it behind her back, to even Sissi's even greater annoyance.

History: Daughter of two accountants while having different interests, Sissi claims to be completely alienated from her family. Rebelious, basically to every form of authority that crosses her path, she claims that rules block her creative spirit. Sissi has built up the reputation of a troublemaker and is the record holder of many things people usually don't want to be a record holder of. Not neccesarily because she broke most rules, but moreso because she does not avoid getting caught.

School Subjects: Music, English, Economy.

Weapons
: Ball and chain, hidden in her instrument's trunk. This weapon is not the classic flail, but a more modern version of it;

The morning star (ball) is about as large as a football, however to keep it's weight from being too heavy it's hollowed out. Don't be mistaken however, it's still rather heavy and will knock you off your feet with relative ease. When the weapon is hidden in the trunk, the morning star is folded out in two halves, there's a small lock that holds the halves together if folded together.

The chain is extendable to about one and a halve metre, lenghtened for a larger range or shortened for a faster rotation speed. The extending is done manually and the chain cannot be shortened in motion, it can however be extended while spinning.

Skills: Great endurance and physically strong and agile.
Tame
Wow, awesome, thanks for joining here. biggrin.gif Everything looks good, the only minor exception being the character's age. I'll just copy and paste what I said to Old-Schooler on the same thing: "Students in the 3rd year begin aged 17 and have their 18th birthday at some point during the year. Your character could be 18, but their birthday would have been at some point in the three or four days prior to the RPG's beginning (the first day of the academic year). If you don't mind this, though, then neither do I."

It's fine to join in later; I don't think I'll have it running by tomorrow, but nor will we get too far ahead that you'll be left behind between now and the 11th.
Kestrel
17 it is.
Tame
Brilliant, then you're in! Woo!

I'm making the map of the school at the moment, I'll post it once it's finished.
Old-Schooler
I was going to post saying "edited" but then thats just pretty dumb so i decided to write a sentence about it so my post seems longer than just..





.. Edited.
Dream of Purity
I've been keeping very close tabs on this rp, and if it doesn't lose much steam by the fifth, I will post my finalized characters. I have create rough drafts for two, including a possible leader for omnia veritas, but I'm trying not to stay inside my "box" ... and experiment a little with characters... I hope to see this doing well in a few days!
Tame
Old-Schooler, everything looks great now, so you're accepted. DofP, I'll keep in mind that you may be joining, hoep you choose to do so.

The map is going to take longer than expected, so I'm going to go ahead and begin the RPG now, and post it later. For now, though, I'll post the floors on which some most important places can be found:

Ground Floor
Auditoreum
Canteen

First Floor
Reception
Teacher's lounge

User Name: Yume-chan

Character Name: Ivii Chua [Pronounced: Ai-vee Chu-ah]

Affiliation: None

Year of School: 1st

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Blue highlights hidden amongst shoulder length straight black hair pulled back into a ponytail or messy bun most of the time over prominent Asian features complete with hazel brown eyes, small round nose, pink pouty lips and an oval face smooth as an egg. Despite her relative shortness (5ft / 153cm) she is considerably well endowed, her figure only tarnished slightly due to the thick musculature along her lower limbs, gained from regular training.

She is usually clad in a simple top, a pair of shorts and modified sneakers that are 2 inches taller than normal ones, and almost never seen in jeans, dresses, skirts, heels or whichever outfit that would restrict her leg movements.

Personality: Brutally honest, to the point of being able to insult others without meaning to, unable to hold a conversation for more than two minutes, unless it is one concerning her interests, and capable of drifting into her own mental world anytime and anywhere, Ivii can be considered socially inept if not for her brother and sister, Iven and Evee, who, with their respective almighty tolerance and patience, have schooled her miraculously well in the ways of social niceties for all her life.

Otherwise, she is determined, studious, and even a little obsessed with being honourable.

Likes: Honour, Tae-Kwon-Do, Tea, Chocolate

Dislikes: Dishonour (obviously), Fatty/Oily Food

History:

Despite being born as a triplet daughter to a pair of Chinese and Japanese parents who happen to be owners of a distinguished Karate Dojo, Ivii is an accomplished practitioner of Tae-Kwon-Do. No longer the rebellious daughter who had taken up the martial art just to spite her parents, Ivii now truly loves the sport and, with it, the concept of honour. Thus led to her apprehension at utilizing the knives in her shoes during a fight, since she feels that the addition of weapons were somehow putting her opponents at a disadvantage. This, of course, is quickly disregarded the moment her opponent(s) discard their honours, something that she found to be more and more frequent, as perverts who had taken to assaulting Evee and herself with their sleazy hands increased alarmingly alongside their age.

Currently, she has just enrolled into Middlebroke High School with her siblings, but has no idea of their underground organizations and wars.

School Subjects: Mathematics, Japanese, Mandarin (Chinese), English, Psychology (In the order of descending interest)

Weapons: A sharp triangular double-edged blade contraption hidden in her sneakers (One in each). When in full extension, they are 4 inches in length extended from the front of the shoes. The added 2 inches beneath her sneaker soles holds the compartment where the blades are usually kept, and the blades are extended and retracted by the button trigger stretched under her toes.

Skills:

Tae-Kwon-Do Probational Black Belt, Dan 2

‘Sixth Sense’ – Somehow having the uncanny ability to sense a person’s presence and hostility, even while not paying attention to it. She is able to sense strong emotions from Iven and Evee occasionally.

The last of the triplets is here~! ^^ Please note that the first triplet is posted on the first page. And it's better to read all three profiles for a better bigger picture. =)

User Name: Seluna

Character Name: Iven Chua [Pronounced : Ai-ven Chu-ah]

Affiliation: None

Year of School: 1st

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: The most eye-catching of his appearance is his shoulder-length black hair, streaked with distinct silver and gold across his long fringe that he sometimes tie up into a small ponytail. His apparent Asian facial features are similar to his sisters, but sharper at the edges with a more triangular shaped face and thinner lips. He is also considerably taller than them, at 5.64 ft (1.72m) and leaner, as his muscles do not show very well. It is to be noted that girls do consider him attractive in a little cool and kind of cute way.

He wears jeans that fit but are not too restrictive for him to kick anyone in the head, and T-shirts with any cool slogans that he likes. He does not usually wear accessories, even watches.

Personality: If all the girls who dated him before were to agree on one thing, it was that he fits the title of ‘heartless jerk’. It is not very accurate, as he does have a working heart, but it comes close. He cares for very few things, leading him to be very careless when it comes to who he hurts with his actions, words or his fists. He knows how to be nice to others, but he does not usually care enough to do that. He also does not care enough to deliberate aggravate anyone, so he normally just go with the flow. However, things are different if things he cares about or strongly dislikes comes into the equation. Especially when it concerns his precious siblings.

Likes: His sisters, his parents, Karate, his bō staff, nougats, a second or third year female student of Middlebroke High School whom he only saw once before, his very few friends. (In descending order)

Dislikes: Anyone who so much as glances at his sisters in any abnormal way, to commit to something he does not give a damn about, anyone who tries to make him conform to anything he does not want to.

History:

The oldest of the Chua triplets and the only son, he bore most of his parent’s expectations since young, and took it upon himself to watch over his sisters despite all three of them being born on the same day. His observant father foresaw that his over-protectiveness was going to get him into a lot of trouble, and started teaching him karate when he was very young. True enough, he got into a lot of fights, and he also managed to get his black belt Child 2nd Dan way before his fifteen birthday.

Because of how much his life basically revolved around his sisters, training and studies, he did not interact with other people much. Or rather, not much of the type of interaction that did not involve one of the parties bleeding or unconscious. As such, he had few friends and could not quite bring himself to care about other people.

Currently, he is newly enrolled into Middlebroke High School with his sisters, and like that, he has no idea of the more unique aspects of the school.

School Subjects: Mandarin (Chinese), Japanese, English, Science, Modern History.

Weapons: A retractable black full-size metal bō staff that measures at 3cm thick and 5.96 ft (1.82m) when fully extended, around 1 ft long when all five segments are fully retracted and it can be used even when partially extended. He carries it in his sling bag everywhere he goes.

Skills:

Karate Black Belt, Child 2nd Dan

‘Sixth Sense’ – Somehow having the weird ability to sense unwanted presence around his sisters, tune to his feelings towards said presence instead of his sisters’. Occasionally, he is able to sense strong emotions from his sisters, Ivii and Evee.

Tame
Thanks for applying here. Before I accept your character there are a few changes I'd like to request. Firstly, Tommy's personality; could you please expand it somewhat? To me a line and a half doesn't seem like a very full summing up anyone's character. Secondly, could you choose another weapon for him to wield, as a character already exists that uses tonfa.

Finally, his skills - he has three, whilst everyone else's characters have no more than two. In the interests if fairness, could you remove one? Also, please expand upon their details slightly, as with other characters?
neko_oni
Done with the edits.
Suishoko
Okay so here are the questions~ Do the 1st years have to assemble in the hall as its their first day or do they just need to go to class? Do they get their schedule by mail or do they need to go to the reception desk? When does school end? How many breaks do we have and how long at they? Can we go out to eat during breaks? Do we get lockers and if yes, where is it?

That is all for now biggrin.gif until we could rack up some more questions that are necessary xD

~suish~
Tame
neko_oni, looks good. Old-Schooler's character uses brass knuckles, somewhat similar to your own steel bladed knuckles. If he does not mind this similarity between your weapons, however, I'll allow it, so I'll leave the decision up to him. (Hopefully you're reading this, Old-Schooler).

Suishoko, to answer your questions simply: Yes, yes, 4pm, two (20 minutes and an hour respectively), yes, yes, and wherever you want. Suishoko, to answer your questions properly and in a less annoying fashion:

The first week of the year starts on a Wednesday (Monday and Tuesday having been holidays).
At the beginning of the day everyone goes to Tutor Group (I think the American equivalent is home room) to get their timetables for the year. The timetable usually consists of three long lessons a day, some of which students may have free (depending on how many subjects they do and when their lessons are timetabled for). During free periods students are free to go where they want, including home.

However, during the first two days (Wednesday and Thursday), timetables are slightly different, so that you will have one lesson in each of your subjects over the course of the two days. Any other periods you have free.
Friday is an inset day during the first week, so no students are in school!

School starts at 9am and ends at 4pm. Breaks take place between each of the lessons, so two a day, the first being twenty minutes long, the second being an hour. Yes, you can eat whenever, wherever you like, except in lessons. Yes, there are lockers in most of the corridors. Where your own is is entirely up to you. They're large enough to fit small weapons, or if you forcibly remove the barriers between three of them and claim an entire column of three to yourself, will fit even large weapons.

Hope that's cleared up your questions, if there are any more just ask!
Suishoko
Wait, so they get their schedules in the morning in the homeroom during their first day? and thankyou for answering xD hope it isn't too annoying that i keep asking
Tame
Not annyoing at all, lol, and yeah, they get their timetables in homeroom, 9am, on their first day.
Suishoko
How long is one lesson? Can the time for one lesson vary? And if you have like 4 subjects, the extra lesson will go to the afternoon? Whats a inset day xD? So during Wednesdays and Thursdays of every week, our schedule is slightly different? All 1st years gather at the homeroom? how big is the homeroom and where is it located?

Sorry, but i really really want to clarify everything before making the post =X.
Tame
Okay, the timetable is usually as follows: 9am until 11.10, lesson 1.
11.10 until 11.30, break.
11.30 until 12.35, lesson 2.
12.35 until 12.45, homeroom/tutor group.
12.45 until 1.45, lunch break.
1.45 until 4pm, lesson 3.

Wednesday's and Thursday's timetables are the same except for the first week when homeroom is first and last thing to help first years settle in. Everyone from every year attends these homerooms. During the normal week, you have to attend at least three homerooms.

Students are divided into tutor groups of around fifteen to twenty people, spread across the three years. Their tutor is like the person they turn to if they have a problem in school. They're normal teachers, and each teacher's homeroom is their usual classroom. (eg. a tutor who teaches History will hold his tutor group/homeroom in his usual History classroom. So basically they're all over the school.

But, I have to stress that the RPG is not about school life, lessons, or homework. The appearance of staff, be it in the capacity as tutor or teacher I plan to keep as minimal as possible.
Suishoko
I know the school life and lessons or homework arent primary but there are afterall the secondary xD. Is there a reason why lesson one last 2hours10mins while the second lesson is 1 hour and 5 mins and the last lesson is 2 hours and 15 mins D:? and could we just slot the lessons on the timetable anyhow we wants *-*? What about people with more than 3 subjects >.<?
Tame
Well you have 4 and a half hours per subject per week, so you'll either have two long lessons (2.10/2.15) or one long lessons and one shorter lesson in each. With ten long lessons and five short lessons a week, that leaves plenty of time for all five subjects. You can have your lessons whenever. However, lessons aren't even intended to be secondary, they're an afterthought. No important plot points will ever happen in lesson times.


On another note, no one feel like posting? I was planning on having the first day simply be an introduction and then go straight onto Friday (the RPG won't go through every single day in detail as that would take forever and be quite boring I'd imagine). I was going to wait for Old-Schooler to post Untamed's meeting which I assumed was going to happen, then post again which included the girl on the field replying to Yuji and which would then skip to Friday's Match.

However, Old-Schooler hasn't posted so I may be wrong in assuming he was going to show the meeting. And since then we've had an influx of new members so I was going to wait until they'd been introduced. However, I don't want the RPG to die before it's even begun, so in a day or two I'm going to post again (which will skip the setting forward to Friday evening) regardless. Hopefully then anyone who wants to post but can't because they're waiting for the Exhibition match will do so.
Dream of Purity
well, It's the fifth, and you know what that means... I'm posting my characters... Hope you like them...

She became obsessed with blood, and death, often practicing with staves, but was drawn still, to the destructive power of the Nodachi.

Hemophile: An unhealthy obsession with blood has granted her the ability to smell it from a distance, and even experiences a blood-rage when her own blood is drawn.

Tame
Everything's fine, thanks for joining. I'm going to wash, after that I'll add them to the list.

To all: This RPG is, for the moment, no longer accepting new members. However, people who already have characters, you may still create another.

neko_oni, Old-Schooler hasn't objected to your choice of weapon so I'm going to go ahead and accept your character too.

Tis I quote from your latest post. The girl you mentioned, is Evee, who has red streaks in her hair. Ivii is the one with the blue streaks, she's the one who is half-asleep and half-supported by their brother, Iven.


Hehe see how the triplet-ness screws up your mind now? XD

Okay, the profile for the most part is okay, but please, do not, NOT post until I've accepted your character.

As to the profile it's fine except... copying kung-fu moves off films? Really? Only a trained athlete could pull that off. But, if you really want 'Attempted kung-fu moves' as the character's preferred fighting style that's fine by me, just bear in mind you will lose every fight you're in against someone with the remotest bit of skill.

Now onto your post. Apart from the fact that it's not meant to be there, it contains several things that need to be altered.

1) The Outside Organisation's members aren't generally known to people. They don't just come up to you and offer you a clipboard. They don't, in fact, have any clipboards. As Old-Schooler's picked up, and which I believe I actually posted as being the case, if you mention wanting to fight, such is the information netweork of the OO that one of their members is bound to hear you and include you in the line-up.

2) Walking into the student lounge uninvited. This is bound to get you set upon by its occupants, and as some of them do have some skill and they outnumber you rather considerably, you are bound to get the bujeezus beaten out of you.

3) Finally, probably worst of all, is just your character. You've immediately made him some kind of shcool idol, loved by women and feared by men, as well-known as a celebrity with the gall to walk into the headquarters of the most powerful organisations in the school and insult their leader. This is borderline Gary-Stu (when you make a near flawless character for an RPG or story). As well as it being unrealistic it will make for a very boring RPG, and personally I hate that kind of character.

I'm very sorry to come down so heavy-handed because you're new, but I can't accept your character as he is. Please delete your post, reread all OOC and IC posts so that you don't make mistakes like having OO members come up to you like you're first among equals and then come back. After that I'll consider accepting your character, but if I do, I want him toned down so that he isn't infallable.



EDIT: Everyone read, after you've read my last IC post.

I've skipped ahead to Friday so that things can get moving and so we don't get too bogged down in introductions. If anyone was wanting to post more about the first two days at school you can still do so; post it in the form of a flashback while they do whatever it is they're doing now. For example 'As A walked into the sports hall, they recalled what had happened to them during their first two days at school...' I'm thinking both in general for everyone, and also specifically for Old-Schooler (Sorry if I cut short your scene with the spying 1st year, hopefully you can do whatever you wanted to do in this way.)

As to the battles, if you wanted to be included amongst them but didn't get a chance to, include in your next post your wish to enter and you'll be entered. You can start your own battles, I'll trust you to pick your own opponents. You don't need to make the fights very long or close-cut, but don't just finish them in one hit either. Nevertheless, one post is fine.

Finally, matches taking place outside the sports hall are reserved for well-known fighters, so obviously no newcomers to the school. Of the PCs, it includes Johan, V (if Old-Schooler wishes; its up to him to decide whether V is well-known enough), Tommy Groshong (again, neko_oni's decision) and Ayalea Vermina.
neko_oni
I will have my first IC post up today, but first I have to read the other post, so it may be later today, sorry for the late entrance.

Also, Tommy couldn't be well known, because this is actaully his first year there, he had just been kicked out of his other school near the end of his second year. But yes, and another thing, I wil have him fight in the ring, but I could I please get some info on the Outside organization for later use, seeing as I plan to have him join them, I will need some guidelines to role play on till he does. It is really up to you of course, but i thought I would ask.
Tame
Don't worry about the late entry, not too late.

Sorry about that mix up, I'll try to keep up with all the characters better. XP

Yah, I was planning on giving you info on the OO before/when you joined. I will post it here or PM you with it probably tomorrow.
Suishoko
Tame! if the first years wants to join in the exhibition match, we just shout out, make up some random XXXX guy and fight it out? or do we have to tell the one shouting the name first?
Kiyoshi Roku
wait wait wait!

Who said my character was untouchable?

I sure didn't.

Getting his ass beat was actually apart of what I had planned for him. I dont care about my character winning every fight and being the champion. That is pretty lame of a story if you ask me.

Hes a popular guy in school because he's a third year, nothing immediate about it and its not because of fighting if that's what your thinking. And if you read my post again i never said anyone was scared of him, everyone was waving hi. But that's just for comic reasons and doesn't really have an affect on anything.

And whose to say him and Jack aren't cool? That's why I gave him a joking approach to the situation. It can go both ways, taken lightly or taken seriously, which ever way you feel Jack would go.
As far as his friends hating me, that's fine with me, adds more depth to the plot. Him not being a trained professional kung-fu fighter, adds more depth to the plot.

As far as the clipboard thing that is my mistake. If my character is approved i will fix it.

I feel like this is a misunderstanding of where I'm going with this character.

I fixed everything that conflicts with the story in the post in hopes you accept the character.
Tame
Suishoko, you just have the speaker call out the name of you and a randomer; work under the assumption that if they're called out to fight, they were signed up at some point during the last two days.

neko_oni, I'll post the OO info here for everyone to see. However, everyone bear in mind that this information is to help you play. Your characters do not actually know this themselves, the only know that the OO must have some pretty impressive organisation going on.

The OO’s members (sixty strong) hold no meetings if they can help it like other groups since if they were walked in upon their identities would be revealed; they only do so if there is an emergency. Instead, they have various subtle signals that they give to one another as they pass each other in the corridors that each member must learn upon entering, or else by message that they must afterwards destroy, such as names of people to be fighting in Monthly Battles. The only time they regularly come together is for things like the Monthly Battles where they must erect the twelve cages and other things.

Generally each member is assigned a specific job such as organising match-ups, finance, investigation, hacking (eg. school records) or cover-ups. There may be several members working on any one of such jobs. Also, there are many members who are also members of other groups; double agents whose work enables them to access important information on their movements.

The group keeps its documents in an unknown location assumed to be outside the school walls (they're actually in the house of one of its members). They can also illegally access the school database where a permanent record is kept on each of the school's students.

Their selection process is irregular. It mostly involves searching student’s records, looking for those with consistently high test scores indicative of having a good memory. Then any possible candidates will be observed closely; if they seem trustworthy and efficient enough they will be approached and asked to join. Fighting skill is considered not necessary, but some members can fight to varying degrees.

Any new members must first learn by heart the names of every student in the school; this is a prerequisite for joining since it demonstrates the ability to hold large quantities of information.

Any characters intending to join must therefore be able to keep a secret and be good at names and faces.


Now, Kiyoshi. I’ll tell you now, Jack wouldn’t like it. But we’ll deal with that later. He’s going to have to talk his way out of a beating though. Because mostly of what you told me in the PM, I’m going to accept your character. Your post’s fine now too (It seems unlikely that someone would get hold of a list of Friday’s fighters so quickly, but it can slide, it’s a minor point). As to your chosen method of fighting, I’ll leave it to you. I didn’t mean to imply that every other character is a trained professional, just that their skills didn’t come to them overnight.

So, post away. We can conduct Jack and Kichirou’s conversation in the form of flashbacks. I’ll continue it in my next post. Sorry that we got off on the wrong foot, hope it hasn’t marred your view either of the RPG or the site.

Hey its perfectly understandable, I'm sure you probably have seen some wise guys mess up some stories in the past, I'm glad we talked about it.

Great story by the way.

Its okay, I can do what I need to do, either in a flashback or I'll just fill everyone in piece by piece in my posts.
About V being Well known, I'd like to say hes known, more of the outcast, but still known. Like the kid in school everyone knows but not everyone talks too kind of type.

If that's okay with u tho, if yes, then yes =D

Sorry I haven't been on in a couple days, we were having internet issues at my house due to a rather strong storm that rolled through about three days ago...

I thought about, and decided that, My character main shot is going to be for Sanguerone, or the Omnia Veritas, the OO looking at him though, and then later using him as a double agent is another thougt for later in the rp though. The reason why I posted this, is because on my character sheet, it says he intends to join the OO.
