High School Rumble!
The premise is that each of our characters goes to a special kind of highschool where strength is respected as much as intelligence is. What you lack for in grades can be made up for in brawls with fellow students, just as long as you come out on top. Here's a brief list of things that you can fight for:
- If you're waiting in line at the cafeteria and someone cuts in front of you, you have permission to fight them right then and there.
- If two people want to borrow the same book from the library, they are obligated to fight for it.
- If you want to make a club and you want an existing club's room, be prepared to fight for it.
Not even the student council is immune to this, if they are ever to lose a fight, then the victor will take over their duties and they must defeat them to get it back. I say 'fight' a lot in here, but what does that actually entail? Powers. All of the students have unique powers that seem to have no fixed pattern on what they could be.
Each can be powerful in their own right but some can't exactly function well without other things. Fortunately, the school also allows weapons to be brought in and taken with you whenever. With all of this going on, you would think it would be a tough time on the teachers, right? That's sort of the case, but many of the teachers in the school are previous graduates and have their own powers as well.
School life is chaotic to say the least, but at the end of the day, all of the energy fades and you would almost think that nothing had even happened the day before. That is partially the work of the people in the nurses office, who seem to have medicines for pretty much everything, and the legendary re-constructors who have never been seen, but when daybreak comes their work is done.
For those who aren't strong, there's always the regular academic route as getting good grades will still allow you to gain enough to pass high school, but if you want to rule; to rise to the top of the pack, then you're going to have to be strong.
Points
Winning a fight or doing well on a test will earn you a certain amount of points. These points will add to your school ranking which serves as a ranking for who's the best in the school basically speaking. Points are divided into two categories which are 'Points' and 'Ranks'. As you gain points you will gain the same amount of Ranks, but the difference is that Points can be used to purchase things and Ranks will stay constant.
Each student who starts their first year begins with 1000 Points and the same amount of Rank.
Fights
Fights are a regular occurrence. If there aren't any random fights breaking out in the school, then that just means that an event where you'll have to fight hard is coming soon. You can fight for any reason, or even no reason at all. There are very little rules when it comes to fights, but the ones that do exist are strictly reinforced. They include:
- Both sides must consent to the battle
- No fighting can occur before or after school hours
- Fighting shouldn't occur outside of arenas
- Anything wagered on a fight must be given when the fight is over
- The specific rules of the fight can be decided by the participants, but other than that anything goes
- Breaking these rules can result in a Point deduction or even a Rank deduction
For some people, fights are their main source of Ranks but for others who can do well in their studies they don't need fights to pass. But if you really wish to excel in this school, you're going to have to fight.
Structures
The school itself is divided into two places. First is the main school complex, and behind it are the dorms. The dorms are split into four 'tiers' with the first three being available to all of the students, and the last one is exclusively used by members of the student council.
The school complex also has its own host of unusual structures. In the center of the school is an auditorium with a large pit fighting arena at the bottom, the school courtyard has spectator seats ringed around the outside, and most of the classrooms can be re-purposed as arenas in case some students are having a disagreement without disturbing the class.
Besides those there are the standard structures such as the library, sick bay and staff room; there are also many spare classrooms in case some get destroyed during the day.
Character sheets
I'm not quite done with this yet, but there should be enough to start making a character.
