Heya peeps! This is your GM Ogo here, and if you've stuck around this far, I imagine that you're at least a bit interested in this little project. Outta sight, man. Before I dive into the nitty gritty, I'll introduce myself a bit: I'm Ogo. Been around here for...what, three years? Almost? Been a ride. This will be my second solo project, with the first having been cut short due to a personal emergency a couple months back. Here's hoping things go well this time around! 

So this thread will focus on the students, faculty, and staff of Greenville High School, a school in the fictional small town of Greenville in southern Illinois starting in the September of 1969 and running up to shortly after the event described in the above. Sometime earlier in the year, a few residents of the town awoke latent abilities, or superpowers if you wanna be blunt about it. While it's up to the writers to determine if their characters have let anyone know about their abilities, the fact that superhumans exist is not public knowledge. As of the start of the thread, everybody has managed to keep their dirty little secrets. Great job, everybody!

The origin of these abilities will likely play a major part in the main plot and as such will remain unknown for the time being. For the sake of character creation, however, it should be noted that all characters with abilities will be first generation superhumans. So no Supermoms or Batdads, please!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to look over the thread, and please enjoy your stay in this groovy little corner of the Guild.

Peace out!

[color=red]I.[/color] [b][u]Follow standard roleplaying etiquette please.[/u][/b] So no godmoding, autohitting, and do not take control of another's character. Unless you've gotten permission from all other involved parties to do so then...I dunno. Knock yourself out?

[color=orange]II.[/color] [b][u]Have fun.[/u][/b] It should go without saying, but we're all here because we love to write. There is no winning. There is no losing. There's not going to be some phat piece of loot waiting at the end. And you're not going to see some game over screen. So just enjoy the journey.

[color=yellow]III.[/color] [b][u]Have a little respect.[/u][/b] For each other. For yourselves. I'm not saying you've gotta be best friends, people, but try to remain civil. If an argument happens to break out, either drop it or take it to PMs. No need to air your dirty laundry in public. If a disagreement needs to be settled regarding in-character interactions, such as during fights or about the affects of spells and whatnot, I reserve the right to make the final decision in the case that a solution cannot be reached between the involved parties.

[color=green]IV.[/color] [b][u]Don't drag IC conflicts to OOC or vice versa.[/u][/b] A little bit of IC drama is great. Adds flavor to character relationships. I can dig it. What I can't dig is when a little bit of IC spice erupts into a full blown argument in OOC. We're roleplaying here! Don't take anything personally.

[color=blue]V.[/color] [b][u]No one-liners, please.[/u][/b] Two+ detailed paragraphs per post if possible. This is just so that the others you're interacting with can have something with which to work. Reactions and actions make the wheel turn, ya'll. 

[color=indigo]VI.[/color] [b][u]Post frequency.[/u][/b] People have lives. School, work, family, friends, so on and so forth. Try to post at least once a week. If something comes up and you can't, just let me know either via OOC or PM.

[color=purple]VII.[/color] [b][u]Absence/Dropping.[/u][/b] Again, life happens. Sometimes you have to be away for a while, or perhaps you've lost interest and need a break/want to drop. That's fine! It happens to all of us. No hard feelings, whatsoever. All I ask is that you let me know prior so that I know whether to wait for you or to move on. PMs will work if you don't want to drop it in OOC. If after two weeks there's been no word, I'll proceed as if you've dropped.

[color=red]VIII.[/color] [b][u]Regarding Romance[/u][/b]: Due to the nature of this thread, it's certainly possible that romance may occur. That's perfectly fine, just keep things PG-13 in the thread proper. If things get steamy, either fade to black or take it to PMs. Please. Please. please. [sub]no goldshire.[/sub]

[color=white]IX.[/color] [b][u]Ask Questions![/u][/b] Don't assume and don't be embarrassed. If you've got a question, ask it.

[color=blue]X.[/color] [b][u]Don't put pineapple on your pizza.[/u][/b] It's still barbaric.

It's that time of year again! Fresh faces and veterans alike have returned to good old Greenville High School, eager to have a great year. And the future looks promising - the Gators kick off the season at home against division rivals the Madison Mighty Mammoths, with quite possibly the best team the school's seen in years. Already, preparations are being made for the big pep rally come Friday.

Yet despite the school spirit, tension hangs in the air. Even here, in this sleepy small town in the American Midwest, sentiments on the war run strong on both sides. Some worry about family fighting overseas. And with the possibility of a reinstated draft, many more worry about what their own futures may hold. Racial divides are still apparent in the small community and anger between the younger and older generations seems to grow by the hour.

Strange happenings around town have people on edge as well. Something's not right in Greenville...
