[color=82ca9d][h2][center]Introduction[/center][/h2][/color]

The old bus shuddered as it made its way down the sand-coated road, with no stopping point in sight. The sweltering heat made you almost regret your decision, but with the promise of cool air, comfortable conditions, and dueling at the end of your journey, you simply waited. The chatter of other students on the bus made it almost impossible to think, though you tried, as you had an important decision to make. Which structure deck did you want? around 3 weeks ago, at the entrance exams, you were told that you wouldn't be able to bring your own cards, and would instead have to earn the cards you wanted. You would be able to choose a structure/starter deck to start with, and would earn points to buy more structure decks, cards, and packs.

At some point, you noticed a massive skyscraper, which looked extremely out of place here, in the middle of the desert. This was the Duel Tower. You could here the other new students cheering around you as the bus came to screeching halt in front of the school. Your group is stopped at the door by a staff member of some description.

"Follow the blue line on the wall to Arena B. You will pick up a duel disk and a deck there, and then we will commence your placement duels." The staff member stepped aside, letting your journey truly begin.

[color=82ca9d][h2][center]Information[/center][/h2][/color]

[hider=The Duel tower] The Duel Tower is a massive skyscraper in the middle of a desert, and is also one of the most well known Duel Academies in the modern world. It has 50 above-ground floors, and 3 below-ground levels.
[hider=Locations]
[hider=floor 1-10]
Floor 1 is the Lobby, which is rather large, with painted lines on the floor to help guide new students to their destination. 
The next 9 floors contain recreational areas for students, such as the library, a gym, and a number of shops, most of which take both money and points. The shop you will most want to know about is the card market, which only deals in points. At the card market you can buy single copies of cards, structure decks, booster packs, and boxes. The booster packs/boxes available will change every 3 days, and there will be 5 different sets available during that time.
[/hider]
[hider=Floors 11-23]
These are the duel arena floors, each floor with 2 Arenas(26 Arenas total). Each Arena can sustain 2 duels, or 1 tag duel, at any given time. Each arena is lettered. Floor 11 has Arena A and Arena B, 12 has C and D, and so on.
[/hider]
[hider=Floors 24-40]
Floors 24-35 are for general classes, mostly large classrooms for classes on monsters, spells, traps, Duel Monsters history, and game mechanics.
Floors 35-40 are for special classes, most of which teach the inner workings of certain types of Duel Arenas. These courses are not open to 1st years though, so ignore them.
[/hider]
[hider=Floors 41-50]
These floors are off limits to students.
[/hider]
[hider=Underground Level 1]
This level is for student dormitories, which are divided by skill level, determined during the placement duels. Each dorm is named after an attribute. There are 7 dorms, 3 for first years, and 3 for second and third years. The 7th dorm is for all of the worst students, anyone in that dorm is 1 fuck up away from expulsion.

[b]First Year Dorms[/b]
[list]
[*] Earth: This is the low-tier dorm for first years. Students put here have a low skill level, but have room for improvement. This dorm provides simple, yet functional accommodations for students. 
[*] Wind: This is the mid-tier dorm for first years. Students put here are rather average. This dorm provides functional accommodations for students, with a few luxuries not available to low-tier students. 
[*] Light: This is the top-tier dorm for first years. Students put here are above average, showing exceptional talent and promise. This dorm provides exceptional accommodations for students. There is much more pressure on Light Dorm students to do well than any other first year dorm.
[/list]

[b]Second and Third Year Dorms[/b]
[list]
[*] Water(Mid-tier)
[*] Fire(Top-tier)
[*] Divine: This is the only God-tier dorm. The students in this dorm are the best of the best, almost guaranteed to become pro duelists. The dorm rooms are luxurious, and the students in this dorm are able to change the room in almost any way they want. Divine students have free access to the Acadamy's card library, and can make whatever decks they want with them.
[/list]

[b]The Dark Dorm:[/b] This dormitory is for the worst students, who either have horrible conduct, or a complete lack of ability, and show no promise. The Dorms here are of miserable quality, due mostly to the students ruining them, rather than them just being awful. Students in this dorm are usually 1 fuck up away from expulsion.
[/hider]
[hider=Underground Level 2]
This level is for the staff dormitories. This level is off-limits to students. If a student is found in this area, they will be given a warning.
[/hider]
[hider=Underground Level 3]
This level is for storage. This level is off-limits to most students. If a student is found here, they will be immediately expelled.
The full card library is down on this level, so Divine students have full permission to go to the CL. They are not allowed anywhere else down there, though, so if they are found outside of the CL on this level, they will be investigated, and most likely, they will be expelled.
[/hider]
[hider=Outside locations]
These locations are located outside of the Duel Tower.
[hider= Turbo Duel Arena]
This arena is set up in a large building a short distance from the tower. Essentially, it is a large indoor racetrack, along with seating for viewers. The Academy keeps its own set of Duel Runners for student use. This Arena cannot be used without teacher supervision.
[/hider]
[Hider=Duel Buggies]
This is something unique to the Duel Tower, a variation on turbo duels that uses dune buggies fitted for turbo duels, and the entire desert as the duel field. Each buggy has room for a driver and a duelist. Designated staff members drive the buggies, while students duel. The rules are essentially the same, except for "Desert traps" which replace trap cards. Speed spells become optional in this version.
[/hider]
[Hider=Hardlight/Action duel arena]
This arena, which is also seperate from the duel tower, uses the same system found in Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V. Action duels start with a random field spell being activated, and action cards being scattered across the field, which becomes a physical copy of the field spell. Action cards can be picked up and activated at any time. This type of duel usually involves riding one's monsters around the field, looking for action cards.
[/hider]
[hider=The Old Building]
The old building is a decrepit, old, stone building about a mile from the Academy. Students are told to stay away from this area, due to it being home to dangerous animals and bugs.
[/hider]

[color=82ca9d][h3]Rules[/h3][/color]

1. No godmodding, bunnyhopping, powerplaying, or taking control/killing another player's character.
2. Follow all RPG rules
3. Don't be a dick, people don't like dicks.
4. No fighting in the OOC, take that shit to PM, or something.
5. If you are going to quit, make sure to tell me by PM, or in the OOC
6. Duels will be done through text, so use titanpad. There are many perks to this system, one of which is that you don't have to organize a specific time to duel.
7. do not godhand or stack. Godhanding is giving yourself a perfect hand, and stacking is giving yourself the perfect draws. To avoid both of these, assign a number to each card in your deck, and use a random number generator. Anyone found godhanding/stacking will be kicked from the RP.
8.Unless you are doing a duel in multiple segments, wait until at least 2 other people have posted before you post again.
9. Rulings will follow current TCG rulings (except for LP), first turn doesn't draw, 2 field spells can be active, ETC.
10. Duels will be fought with 4000 LP.
11. If you have a ruling question, ask me, the OOC, or google.

[color=82ca9d][h3]The Card Market[/h3][/color]

[hider=How it works]
Whenever your character visits the card market, you can have them look through the different singles/packs available. If your character asks if they can stock a specific set, it will most likely be made available at the start of the next 3 day period. 

[b]Prices and points[/b]
Prices will be based off of Troll and Toad prices.
1 point=10 cents.
A booster pack of any set will cost 30 points.
A booster box of any set will cost 600 points.
A starter or structure deck will cost 100 points.
Singles will cost their converted Troll and Toad price. They will always cost their cheapest, near-mint price.
If you plan to buy a pack/box in your next post, PM me first, and I will figure out what you pull, and tell it to you.
For every duel you win, you get 10 points, and for every duel you lose, you get 5 points. Make sure to keep track of your points and cards on your CS.
Banned cards will not appear in packs.
[/hider]

[hider=Available Sets]
Once the placement duels are over, the 3 days in which these sets are available will begin. These sets will be chosen at random, for the most part.

1.Hidden arsenal 3
2.Tactical evolution
3.hidden arsenal 7
4.cybernetic revolution
5.legacy of darkness
[/hider]

[color=82ca9d][h3]Custom Cards[/h3][/color]

[color=82ca9d][h3]Structure Decks[/h3][/color]
Everyone will start the RP with a structure deck. If you create a custom structure deck, I will put the list here. Each deck can only be chosen by 1 person, so all decks that have already been claimed will also appear here. The rarity rule for structure decks ([url]http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Structure_Deck[/url] click here to learn about it) will not be enforced so that custom card structure decks can function.
