OOC IS ALSO ALREADY MADE. SEE [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/91314-goin-down-south-welcome-to-caligo-university/ooc]HERE[/url]

It’s a typical January afternoon. You sit at the kitchen table, twiddling your thumbs until the long-awaited dull roar of the mail truck comes droning by. With a start, you dash outside and rip open the mailbox, filing through the various bills and magazines not addressed to you. Then, you see it. A rather hefty envelope with your name on it and a familiar logo in the corner. With your palms sweating you return inside and ravenously tear into its contents…

[hider=Read the letter]Dear applicant,

I’m back, bitches.

What's that? You don't recognize me? Well, I assure you I'm a fairly [i]huge[/i] deal around these parts...

Anyway, my schedule for the foreseeable future has an uncanny amount of free time in it, and while I've gone through a rather unexpected forced metamorphosis from an awkward caterpillar into a social butterfly, I've come to the conclusion that I do indeed have enough time on my hands to handle running a roleplay.

So for this roleplay is set in college. You probably sniffed that one out. And (sorta) as a nod of respect to the recent college football national champs, I figured having the school be a football powerhouse set in the South would be a zesty twist on things.

Don't worry, you don't [i]have[/i] to like football for this roleplay. But there will be a game every Saturday in the fall semester, and if no one wants to write out the chaos of actually going to the game, I'll be fine with that. But I plan on providing a synopsis of the game, just so characters have something to discuss. All schools that Caligo University will play against are [i]fictional[/i], too, and also located in the South. I'm actually excited about writing about fake football games, anyway. Having to narrate it in real-time would be... rough.

If this gets enough interest, I can flesh out an OOC. I will also include information like the layout of campus, the school cheer, the mascot, our rival, the traditions, all that good stuff. Oh, and fraternities and sororities. Those are big in the South. They're also not quite as... stereotypical as they are in North? They're not like [i]Animal House[/i]... Not always, anyway. More info on that later, though.

I already have most of the information ready to go, so it shouldn't be a problem. For those who are curious, we are the Caligo University Wolves, the school is in the town of Caligo, Alabama, (again, fictional), and our battle cry is... FULL MOON! (Because, like, that's what wolves howl at and it hypes them up or whatever.) I know. It's kinda derpy. But I can point out some schools whose cheer is equally as derpy... *cough* *cough* I won't drop any names, though. Heh.

Tell me whatcha think!
