[hr][CENTER][B]| [I]PREMISE:[/I] |[/B][/CENTER][hr]
[INDENT]For years, the superheroes of Earth have taken gifted youngsters under their wings to teach them how to not only fight crime but to use their talents to their greatest potential. Due to this the world has seen such iconic teams as the Teen Titans and the Young Justice initiative, but with the number of meta-humans increasing every day, the world calls for something new. 

Sponsored by Wayne Enterprises, and granted land by Queen Industries, the Justice League have opened a school of their own for the extraordinary individuals of Earth. Situated in Star City, the school dubbed the Corrigan School for Advanced Learning and Development opened its doors nearly ten years ago and has been a thriving producer of Earth’s current heroes. Many of these heroes go on to join the Justice League later in their career, but the top of the graduating class always becomes the world’s newest team of Teen Titans. 

Although mockingly referred to as the Justice League Academy, Corrigan has led over all to a higher than expected performance rate by younger heroes and as a result crime worldwide has hit an all-time low. Though the school has its critics, they are few and far between with the world as a whole giving it an approval rating that has only climbed over the last decade.

Enrollment for the upcoming school year reached a record high with the combination of both returning students and new attendees. With such high numbers, the competition between students is sure to be the most exciting it has ever been. [/INDENT]

[INDENT][B]ADMINISTRATION BUILDING:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/21nmw6f.jpg[/IMG]
The Administration Building originally started life as a great mansion built by an eccentric millionaire during the early 1900's. Left unfinished due to the interruption of the Great Wars, it sat empty for numerous decades until the Queen family purchased it and turned it into the family home. However having moved on to a new home since becoming Mayor, Oliver Queen donated his family home and land to the Justice League. For the first couple of years, the school operated solely out of the mansion with the Justice League. having modified the building to suit its purposes. Initially the Corrigan was only offering rudimentary courses to ensure the students had their basic training and education before having the League's contacts provide them placements through allied companies and workplaces. However as enrollment expanded, additional buildings were commissioned as separate dormitories were constructed and eventually the Academic Quadrangle.

With these new buildings in place, the Mansion was converted into an Administration building along with housing for those employed at the Corrigan. Despite keeping the historical exterior of the building intact and well maintained, the building's interior has been renovated and updated every few years since the school opened. As it stands currently, the interior of the Administration Building is fully update with the latest modern furnishings though styled in a classical manner to match the building's exterior.[/INDENT]​
[B]ACADEMIC QUADRANGLE:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/2rrbek5.gif[/IMG]
The Academic Quadrangle is perhaps the most interesting piece of Architecture on the whole Corrigan Campus, if not the most interesting than the most complex one. Suspended above the ground are six floors full of classrooms and learning environments for the students of the Corrigan to use. The Quadrangle is built in four long sections which are set up in a perimeter outside of a large courtyard which contains numerous areas to study along with picnic spots and a pond.

The largest building on campus, the four sides of the Quadrangle are broken into specific categories of class rooms with the science labs and technology making up the Northern Wing. The East and West Wings are divided into various, Language, History, Law, Social and Liberal Art courses. The Library is also found in the West Wing. Lastly the South Wing contains the Math and Science class rooms.​[/INDENT]
[B]LABS AND TECHNOLOGY WING:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/dz8i10.jpg[/IMG]
Built overlooking the mansion from the North, the front side of the Academic Quadrangle is dedicated to the instruction of technology, communication and the practical application of sciences. Throughout its six floors, all levels of the institutes educational programs are supported at every degree of understanding to ensure that each student can find the material approachable. 

The technology programs are considered to be rather cutting edge in part due to the creations of the world's greatest minds allied with the Justice League which are supplied to the school and in many cases used by the creator themselves in the classroom. These cutting edge technologies range from medical, to robotics and even some military grade technology can be found for the students to get hands on experience with.​[/INDENT]
[B]LAW AND LIBERAL ARTS WINGS:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/ixza11.jpg[/IMG]
Built along either side of the Quadrangle are the Wings containing the Liberal Arts including but not limited to English, Linguistics, Theatre, Musical Theory and various Language Courses. These wings contain some of the more popular courses at the Institute and can often be found with numerous students chatting in the hallways between classes. Whilst class is in session, nearly every room is filled to capacity with students either hurriedly taking down notes, acting out classics or simply slacking in the back believing that the arts are low to no effort courses. A school of law is also included in the East Wing which produces some of the foremost warriors for justice free of a mask. Lastly, a large library is included in the West Wing in order to provide the students with all the resources that they need for their studies.​[/INDENT]
[B]SCIENCE AND MATH WING:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/sblwrd.jpg[/IMG]
While no where near as popular as the Arts, the Math and Science wing are among the more practical disciplines available at the Corrigan given that most of the students are 'scientific wonders' themselves. Everything from the most basic to complex calculations and mathematic formulas are imparted into the students' minds. Figuratively across the hall, biology, physics and chemistry are instructed to the eager and even the not so eager students. Medical sciences too are taught in this wing and are especially necessary as new discoveries are constantly being made about the meta-human genetic code and its ever growing array of varieties.​[/INDENT]
[B]MESS HALL (Cafeteria):[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/nleyb8.jpg[/IMG]
Constructed as the central point between the dorms and Academic Quadrangle, the Mess Hall is the first stop for many every morning. Consisting of several floors each with their own unique style and blend of flavours, the Mess Hall caters to every food taste offering both local and international selections. Aside from the interior dining rooms, the Mess Hall has several designated eating areas outside as well as balconies on each floor. In order to control the flow of traffic, houses are grouped together and given designated meal times to ensure that everyone has a seat from which to enjoy a meal. As such house Allen and Danvers eat together then Kent and Lance and so on. This schedule rotates daily to ensure every house has a chance to eat with another. Not only does this ease the process of getting a meal, but it also allows the various houses to build camaraderie with the other teams outside of classes.​[/INDENT]
[B]THE BREW:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://oi61.tinypic.com/2wd3ded.jpg[/IMG]
Outside of the mess hall there's only one other place on campus to eat. The Brew is a small campus pub serving primarily caffeinated beverages but also alcoholic ones for members of the faculty or returning alumni. Built in the early 2020's as a response to the increasing age of both former students and new enrollments, the pub offers a place of more adult relaxation in the form of a nice cold or hot beverage. Stocked with a wide supply of beverages from around the world with a special emphasis on caffeine, the Brew has something for drinkers of all tastes. Furthermore it arguably serves the best wings and nachos on campus leading to many busy karaoke nights. The Brew is known for being a little too tight on security if only because of the rather large risk involved with copious amounts of sugar, caffeine and meta-human abilities. As much funding as the Corrigan does receive, it's not enough to rebuild the campus.​[/INDENT]
[B]RECREATIONAL CENTER:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/mkuohc.jpg[/IMG]
Perhaps the most modern building on the Corrigan campus, the Recreational Center is a top of the line fitness buildings. Several highlights include an Olympic sized swimming pool, a climbing wall, a full gymnastics studio and of course a top of the line fitness center. All students are required to spend at least one mandatory hour each day at the gym to ensure they stay in at least moderately fit physical condition. Outside of the Recreational Center lays a couple basketball courts, and a multi-purpose field. This field is used for all manner of sports but the most popular is football, naturally played by the NFL's rules. Removable bleachers are stored in the back of the Rec Center and are set up for the school's Intramural Games since Corrigan can't exactly compete against other schools.[/INDENT] ​
[B]DORMITORY HOUSES:[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/fw1304.jpg[/IMG]
The dorm houses across the Corrigan campus not only act as housing for the students but also sort the students into teams. Throughout the year, each dorm house competes for points through various forms of competitions. These competitions include the students grades, athletics, attendance and extracurricular actives including both campus favourite 'Metaball' and A.R.C. Sessions. Despite the age difference between each house, they're updated annually to ensure that no one house seems to have an unfair advantage towards another. 

The original dorm houses that were built in 2009 were erected in a townhouse style building. These dormitories are contained within one building although separated down the middle by a solid wall, on either side of this wall are the different house dorms. Built in a mirrored fashion, both sides of the building are identical and contain four floors. On the second and fourth floors, are laundry rooms for the students to use while on the first and third floors are two large common rooms which include a kitchen allowing for students to have 'community' meals together. Each room houses two to three students complete with a bed, desk and closet for each, community bathrooms are on each floor to ensure that no dorm has to go too far for a shower. As part of their annual update, the original dorms were overhauled so as to provide private bedrooms to each room and a shared kitchen and common area. However due to the building's design the community bathrooms were left installed but updated to ensure the most privacy possible when using the facilities. 

[IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/34gaavp.jpg[/IMG]
In 2014, part of the addition when the school was expanded further was the additional dormitory houses. These dormitories consist of three separate buildings unlike the original dormitories. The dorm layout in these buildings is also notable different, with a dorm consisting of four bedrooms, a shared bathroom, shared laundry room and shared kitchen and living room. In 2016 another two dormitories built identical to those built in 2014 were added to the campus. During this time shared patios and outdoor pools were added to all dorm houses for the students to enjoy and relax upon. Most dorms are designed to replicate an apartment as much as possible without totally sacrificing the dormitory design. It should be noted that the entire campus is free of gender segregation in an effort to be as progressive as possible.[/INDENT] 
[B]A.R.C. (Augmented Reality Center):[/B]
[INDENT][IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/169p7wj.png[/IMG]
The Augmented Reality Center or A.R.C. is one of the largest facilities on the Corrigan school campus. A large circular building with approximately a mile radius, the A.R.C. stands close to a hundred feet in height in order to provide a wide range of simulations within. The interior of the A.R.C. appears to made up of many different panels, and each of these panels are attached to a series of columns which can expand and contract to allow the A.R.C.'s arena to change to all manner of shapes and layouts. Coupled with the cutting edge hard light projection technology, the A.R.C. can replicate and simulate all manner of environments and battlefield simulations.

Participants are needed to wear A.R. Suits which aid in stimulating the other four senses. A.R. Suits also allow for pain simulation in order to fully prepare cadets for battle. A.R. suits are designed to act and feel like the armored costumes worn by other heroes in combat, however they're notable different due to the equipment required to operate with the A.R. Center. These suits are also equipped with glowing LED strips down the suit which can be customized to display team colours. During stealth activities, this feature can be disabled.​[/INDENT][/INDENT]
[hr][CENTER][B]| [I]RULES AND REGULATIONS:[/I] |[/B][/CENTER][hr]
[HIDER=1. In Character Rules]
[B]1. IN CHARACTER RULES:[/B]

[INDENT][b][1.01][/b]You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

[b][1.02][/b] Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

[B][1.03][/B] You are encouraged to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you aren't able to post, please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks without a message in the OOC, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. Please if you know you’re going to be absent or simply have lost interest in the RP, just let the GM know. 

[B][1.04][/B] No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

[B][1.05][/B] PC's are not to be killed without permission. Nameless NPC's are fine, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator. 

[B][1.06][/B] This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. That said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.

[B][1.07][/B] Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.

[B][1.08][/B] Plots should not be completed in one or two posts. Your character should not be able to stop an entire robbery by themselves or put out a city block on fire with relative ease. That said obviously different power levels do apply so if you do manage to put out the fire, solve the cause of it. If you stop the robbery find out who hired the gang or what their motives were. If all else fails do some character development or show us some ‘Slice of Life’ moments for you character if you do solve a plot quickly.[/INDENT][/HIDER]
[HIDER=2. Out Of Character Rules:]
[B]2. OUT OF CHARACTER RULES:[/B]

[INDENT][b][2.01][/b] Respect the Game Masters. The GM's words are to be adhered, don't argue or disregard them unnecessarily. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.

[b][2.02][/b] Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.

[b][2.03][/b] Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.

[b][2.04][/b] No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed and encouraged but within reason, please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself. An active OOC generally means an active roleplay so feel free to chat up your fellow players about characters and events in the RP.[/INDENT][/HIDER]
[HIDER=3. Character Creation Rules:]
[B]3. CHARACTER CREATION RULES:[/B]

[INDENT][b][3.01][/b] You can create any superhuman mold you want with tact. All invincible superhumans or obvious imitations of DC or Marvel titles will be judged harshly. Note that you an be inspired by another DC character and/or related but I don't want to see a carbon copy. 

[b][3.02][/b] In line with above rule, do make your character well rounded with both pros and cons, give them weaknesses and flaws. Limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding. 

[b][3.03][/b] Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this.

[b][3.04][/b] All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs in the provided or similarly laid out format. Character Sheets which do not use an organized skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with a standard. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of RPG and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response.

[b][3.05][/b] It should be noted that backstories are not part of the CS. This is because I want to encourage player interaction in the IC. Players will actually require their characters to talk to each other in order to learn about them. That said, while you are free to discuss the IC and drop hints in the OOC, I ask that you refrain from downright telling us everything about your character. While a backstory is not required, nor permitted, it is asked that for the sake of the planned plot you aim to have a younger character between the ages of 14 to 19.

[b][3.06][/B] Character Sheets may include a reference image. However I would ask that this image be photographic or photo realistic. I ask that you do not use anime/manga styled images on your CS. However, primarily your character's depiction should be established by your IC posts as an author does in a novel. 

[b][3.07][/b] Character Sheets are to be posted in the OOC Thread for review and once accepted posted in the Character Thread. At the end of your sheet, please write your favourite beverage. Failure to comply with these rules will delay your acceptance as you obviously did not read through the rules and therefore can not be trusted to adhere to those laid out for the OOC and IC threads. Additionally, do not announce this rule or hint towards it within the OOC. If someone can't read the rules for themselves, they likely can't read the IC and we don't want their kind here.[/INDENT][/HIDER]
[HIDER=Sexual Conduct:]
[B]SEXUAL CONDUCT:[/B]

[INDENT]This is an open world RP and I realize that relationships are a part of this. While I have no problem with this I do want it kept a specific way to avoid breaking any rules. As part of RPG's rule, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may however use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire and that will be fine, just keep it PG-13/14A (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.) both leading and following up. I implore you to keep within the age restrictions set up already by administration. As such, let’s keep it simple, ages 14-17 can have relationships with each other and likewise for 18-22. Obviously there's some grey area in there and I'd understand 16-18 should also be a range but please just use your common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.[/INDENT][/HIDER]
[HIDER=Commitment And Consistency:]
[B]COMMITMENT AND CONSISTENCY:[/B]

[INDENT]If you join this RP, if you take the time to submit an application, I'm putting my faith in you that you'll be committed to it and that the character you play will be consistent with the one in the agreed upon CS. Personally, I have a hard time with this sometimes and I understand that things just happen. That said I’m referring to suddenly giving a character new powers with no explanation or completely changing their backstory in order to add new skills. I’m okay with changes but I’d like a heads-up first so perhaps we can work a more natural way towards these things happening. In terms of commitment, dropping out of the RP randomly for whatever reason is a pain or a GM. Simply put, it wastes my time along with the other players. If you do not think you can join and you're sure something will come up, do not join. Tendency to not care about an RP after a while? Don't join. Simple as that. I will work with you when it comes to bumps in the road. If you think you're going to be out for a couple of days, that's fine. I'll find a way to excuse you from the story or play your character. However, please let the group known as far in advance as possible. If you're going on a trip, tell me something. Do not leave me wondering where you are. Let me know so I can keep things going. I will work around you if you work with me when you can.[/INDENT][/HIDER]
