The World
🍧 Venture Academy is set in a fantastical world, borrowing elements from Marvel and DC.
🍧 It is a world where superheroes are seen on television, read about in comics and have toys made of them.
🍧 It is a world where heroes are celebrities, often sought out for interviews and appearances.
🍧 There are, however, some more glaring differences between this world, and established Superhero settings.
🍧 This roleplay will focus on two things.
🍧 This involves missions, and character interaction.
🍧 Players will be able to make up their own missions and villains that go along with them.
🍧 They can do it alone, to get a feel for their character and their character's powers.
🍧 Or, they can do it in collaboration with others.
🍧 This roleplay is mainly set to be a sandbox, with a center of activity for characters to return to, when they want.
🍧 No one is tied to events, or the like.
🍧 Between missions, players can attend classes, lounge around at the school, focus on character relations, and so on.
🍧 The premise is incredibly simple, but with the potential for a lot of fun.

The Gifted
🍧 Mutants, Gifted, Powered, they have a lot of names.
🍧 These beings are not feared by the general public.
🍧 Rather, they are revered and most often famous.
🍧 Every single person who displays a power, is sent to Venture Academy.
🍧 This is obligatory.
🍧 Students of Venture Academy do, in fact, have the right to intervene, stop and fight crime, by law.
🍧 Venture Students are considered law enforcement, and as such, work together with various law enforcement agencies across the world, on assignments.

The Theme
🍧 This is supposed to be a colorful, bombastic world.
🍧 There are supervillains who have left the Academy, to use their powers for evil.
🍧 There are your everyday thugs.
🍧 Some students of Venture do it for fame, and others, because they want to help people.



Geography
🍰 Venture Academy is located on an island outside of New York.
🍰 The impressive size and structure of the building are met by equally breathtaking vegetation surrounding it.
🍰 Travel between the academy and missions is made through instant air traffic.
🍰 Venture is one of several similar academies throughout the world.
🍰 The school is surrounded by various, impressive defenses otherwise invisible to the naked eye, unless deployed.

Managemt
🍰 Headmistress.

Classes
🍰 In Venture Academy, classes are tailored after every specific attendant.
🍰 Depending on the hero's powers, classes are made out for them to follow.
🍰 Attendance is purely optional.
🍰 However, the school maintains a stance that the hero is responsible for their own education.
🍰 If a lack of attendance during class leads to death on the field, the school is not held responsible.
🍰 Classes are, however, obligatory for the first five years of school.

Years
🍰 Students are first sent to Venture at the age of eight.
🍰 They are then offered place there for as long as they desire, following their eighteenth year.
🍰 In the scenario where a student leaves the academy, they are stripped of their hero privileges.
🍰 When the students are twelve years if age, they are allowed to participate in missions.
🍰 Older students are always responsible for younger students on missions, and younger students are obligated to follow their elders' lead.

On Missions
🍰 Heroes are expected to wear the outfits afforded them by the academy.
🍰 These outfits are designed by the heroes, themselves.
🍰 Students should always have their Venture Badge with them, to be able to display their authority.


Clasrooms
🍭 At Venture, there are several types of classrooms, for the multitude of subjects taught at the academy.
🍭 If students want to borrow a classroom to hold classes of their own, they may.

Lounges
🍭 Venture offers luxurious lounges for rest, relaxation and company.
🍭 These lounges include professional spas, baths, and various different gardens to accommodate a peace of mind.
🍭 The lounges also offer movie cinemas and gaming rooms.
🍭 For those who prefer, there are many pools to pick from, for a relaxing bath.

Sportshalls
🍭 When the hero desires some more mundane training, which doesn't involve their powers, Venture offers a selection of gyms and sports-related venues for training.

Dormatories
🍭 In Venture, every student lives in a dormitory.
🍭 These dormitories hold a minimum of two students, and a maximum of four.
🍭 They can be compared to a five-star hotel suite.
🍭 Boys and girls may live together, as there are no rules against it.
🍭 Every dorm has a bathroom, and a small kitchen.
🍭 Dorm-mates are based on the age of the students.

Cafeterias
🍭 Some would claim that Restaurant is a more accurate term for Venture's cafeterias.
🍭 These restaurants are ran by actual, professional chefs.
🍭 The same holds true for cafés.
🍭 Open all day, lunch is served between eleven and two.

Training Rooms
🍭 For when the hero wants to practice their powers, Venture offers highly technological danger rooms which allows the hero to combat holograms and artifical scenarios.

Gardens
🍭 Surrounding the school are lushious, fanstical gardens complete with lakes, bridges and breathtaking beauty.

Computer Rooms
🍭 These areas are used by designated faculty members who maintain constant surveillance across the world and hand out assignments to students based on what they find.

'The Board'
🍭 Here, students are able to see various mission types on rows of screens displayed in the mission room.
🍭 A student chooses a mission, and who to go with, before being dropped off at the designated area.

Powers
🍩 Students are allowed to use their powers freely on school grounds.
🍩 However, using powers against another student warrants immidiate retliation from management, depending on the severity of the crime.
🍩 Damaging school property has the same effect.

Behaviour
🍩 Every student is expected to show one another respect.
🍩 Faculty has the final say.
🍩 Disrupting classes will lead to a temporary ban on field assignments.
🍩 Rude beahviour in any of the restaurants, cafes or other venues offered by the academy can lead to a temporary ban.
🍩 Repeated breaking of the rules will eventually lead to the student being expelled.

Duels
🍩 Students are allowed to duel one another under supervision of faculty.
🍩 This can be used as a means of settling a dispute, which it so often is.
🍩 Duels unotherised by a faculty member is considered unlawful behaviour and will lead to punishment.

Attendance
🍩 Attendance of classes is obligatory from the age of eight, to twelve.
🍩 Thirteen and onward, students are responsible for their own education, or lack thereof, which will be displayed on the field of battle.

S-Rank
πŸŽ‚ Incredibly dangerous missions.
πŸŽ‚ Only highly skilled heroes are seen on these missions, and most often, in groups.
πŸŽ‚ This generally involves supervillains.

A-Rank
πŸŽ‚ Life-threatening assignments, often presented as tests for up and coming heroes.
πŸŽ‚ These missions can span for a long time, with investigations involving the police.
πŸŽ‚ Culprits are incredibly dangerous, and sometimes possess superpowers.

B-Rank
πŸŽ‚ The most common assignment for students, without a supervising elder.
πŸŽ‚ This involves robberies, or other, more stationary scenarios where the enemy is armed, and dangerous.

C-Rank
πŸŽ‚ Street thugs, and the like.
πŸŽ‚ Patrolling the street.
πŸŽ‚ Assignments given to heroes who have just passed their fifth year of Venture.

D-Rank
πŸŽ‚ These missions are reserved for children, still learning how to carry themselves.
πŸŽ‚ These missions tend to be C-Ranked, but with a supervisor present, at all times.
πŸŽ‚ It is more being an intern, than actually fighting.


Behaviour
πŸ’ Be mature.
πŸ’ Communication is the golden road to success, don't be afraid to express yourself.
πŸ’ Be civil when you express yourself.
πŸ’ A polite approach will take you far.
πŸ’ Don't be passive aggressive.
πŸ’ If you have a problem with another player, take it up with me. There is no use in crowding someone.
πŸ’ I personally do not care how inflammatory someone is, but to make it pleasant for everyone, don't actively try to push any buttons.

Responsibilities
πŸ’ I am here every day.
πŸ’ I do not expect the same level of commitment from others, but I do expect weekly attendance.
πŸ’ If your last IC post was seven (7) days ago, I will scratch you from the RP.
πŸ’ Anyone stuck in a scene for days, waiting for someone else, is welcome to write themselves out of it.
πŸ’ If you address your vacancy beforehand, you are welcome back whenever you're no longer busy.

Characters
πŸ’ I expect to see fully fledged characters submitted.
πŸ’ No WIPs in the OOC, please.
πŸ’ You are welcome to be as dark and gritty, or colorful and bombastic as you want.
πŸ’ You can tackle whatever taboo theme you want.
πŸ’ Your character can be as sexist, homophobic, racist, etc, as you want, as long as it actually fits their personality.
πŸ’ You can use whatever kind of picture, or lack thereof, that you want, be it drawn or real.
πŸ’ Write your character the way you're most comfortable, just keep the important bits there.
πŸ’ There are no fantasy races, but it is likely possible to reflect their appearance with mutants.
πŸ’ There are no aliens.
πŸ’ When you post your character, do so in hiders.

πŸ’ Potatoe

Not Allowed
🍎 You cannot be part of faculty.
🍎 You cannot be an ordinary, everyday person.
🍎 You cannot be a villain.
🍎 There is no magic.
🍎 You cannot play a character designed in a lab.

Totally Allowed
🍏 You can make as many characters as you want.
🍏 You can be related to a faculty member.
🍏 Your character can be as famous as you want.
🍏 You can be creative with what is done around your character, in terms of merchandise and shows, etc.

Powers
πŸ‘ This appears to be a rather difficult rule to follow, so I will be as detailed as I can in the explanation.
πŸ‘ YOUR CHARACTER CAN HAVE ONE POWER.
πŸ‘ Along with this power, a character can have several abilities linked to that power.

πŸ‘ Examples
βœ… Acceptable Character.
🌸 Power - Super Strength.
🌸 Effect - Enhanced Resistance, (strength without resistance will only damage the user.)
🌸 Effect - Speed, (due to the character's strength, their leg muscles allow them to run faster than normal.)
🌸 Effect - Jumping, (considering their strength, the character can jump incredibly high.)
🌸 Effect - Stamina, (their super strength and increased conditioning has lead to the character's body developing impressive stamina, and they do not tire easily.)


❌ Declined Character.
🌷 Power - Super Strength.
🌷 Power - Rapid Regeneration. (This is powerful enough to be a power in its own right, with its own extras.)
🌷 Power - Beams. (I never want to see a physical power like super strength mixed with an energy-based power like laser beams. I do not want Captian Marvel, Shazam or Nova in this RP.)


πŸ‘ You can be creative with this, it's not a limitation, it's keeping a theme and working with it.
πŸ‘ Considering my previous issues with this, if I see a character with several powers, I won't accept them. The rest of the sheet becomes irrelevant, and I won't bother with it.
πŸ‘ Your character can have as many cosmetic mutations as you want, (skin color, eye color, tail, etc.)
πŸ‘ Cosmetic mutations are not linked to your power.
πŸ‘ Cosmetic mutations do not offer any abilities, other than looks.


Notice - I have omitted the Biography section, because it is irrelevant what your character did when they were seven.

From the way the rules were told it seems every character will need to share a dormitory, that being the case, it would be nicer to share it with other player characters, at least in my opinion. If I get accepted, I am up for setting something up
