Set in the near future (2029), B.I.O. - By Invitation Only (or Beta Iota Omicron) - is about a group of socially awkward teens (freshmen) who find themselves invited to join an exclusive club at their boarding school. B.I.O. is a closed club sponsored by one of the art teachers, Elizabeth Greyson.

The school has a very large campus, and a sports oriented social culture. It is located on Catalina Island offshore from Los Angeles. This is a boarding school. No uniforms. Some students live off island. But the island is a community unto itself.

Big classes. Wide variety. Lots of clubs. Lots of sports. Plenty of bullying.

Bullying. This group will be largely composed of kids who are either bullied, or too invisible to get bullied. At this school bullies are a plague. They come in every form. Most come from wealthier families and think they are better than others.

Characters
In every school there is that group of students that are socially awkward. It is just a fact of life. Maybe they weren’t born with great looks. Or their parents are poor, so they don’t have the designer clothes or latest electronic gadgets. Maybe they are the late bloomer. You know, still 5’3” while everyone else on their grade is 6’. Maybe they are the runts because they skipped a grade or two. These are only some of the reasons you might be socially awkward.

I’ll need a good, well-written and detailed CS. (Please no animated gif’s.) It should include information about family. (ie could your family afford a boarding school? Or did they need financial assistance. Why send you to a boarding school?)

The Plot
Now one of the tags I placed on this RP was Superpowers. Powers are going to be assigned as the RP progresses. Yes, there may be some superhero activity later down the road. But the group needs time to develop. The villains will be about 10 years older. Many will be psychotic. Yes, there is a backstory as to why - and how they got their powers - that is associated with the club's sponsor.

The RP begins a couple weeks before school starts as new students arrive and are assigned rooms. One small blessing - freshmen have roommates. But those will be freshmen as well.

Each Hall (192 freshmen) will be assigned a small group of mentors (Juniors for the freshmen; Seniors for Sophomores). The mentors will be monitored by guidance counselors. There are a LOT of Halls (about 10 just for the freshmen). There are 60 more halls. Each graduating class is nearly 2000 students.

Special Halls
There are also special Halls that are dedicated to clubs much like fraternities. These MUST be sponsored. And you can only get into them by being accepted into their club. This is pretty much the only way a freshman gets a private room.

Excellent. If we can get a couple more I'll make an RP thread so we can get some characters posted. I do have the sponsor created - as well as her children, though not in a CS form. (The children have a CS; but she is just mentioned. Her children are of adult age in the RP.)

Created the RP thread. I'll be editing a bit there, but most of the basic info is there.
