[center]Hello and welcome. Here at the grand Academy of Tomorrow, we are looking for the best and brightest young minds to come forth and lead this work into a new generation of professional dueling. Our state of the art facilities are looking at developing and nurturing even the most simple minded of players into those who rival some of the legends of the past!

Each student is divided between three years, being based on Duel Academy's very own structure of schooling. Slifer Red, Ra Yellow, and Obelisk Blue. These represent most of your achievements both going into the school and outside of it. And within the three years, these students will blossom into becoming the strongest ones around. 

As such, we have plenty of training equipment possible for your dueling needs. Major gymnasiums where the latest in augmented reality allow the user to hop between stages with their monsters. High speed tracks for those who tend to go around on the fast lane to success. Even possible ways of going into the net and practicing dueling online. 

I hope that you find this instructional video helpful, and may we see you on the island.[/center]

Hello everyone. This is a roleplay based on the Yu-Gi-Oh Franchise, with a primary focus on the GX setting. As such, there will be some weird story lines, vibrant characters, and anything that you could find enjoyable from some of the older series here, but without any plot focused around certain characters. This just allows everyone a chance to get off the ground and do whatever they wish.

My name is Dave. It is very nice to meet all of you, and I do hope that you have fun here.

First the forum rules:
[list]
[*] 1. Don't be a dick to those around us.
[*] 2. No Marysue/Garysue. Lets have some characters.
[*] 3. No god mode. I know I mentioned in the interest tab that most of the duels will be sorta scripted, but don't know something that your character wouldn't know at the time.
[*] 4. At least have enough detail in a post to have others give a chance to respond, without having some awkwardly long pauses. I've been there. One liners are easier, but it is very hard to get a story going with just those alone.
[*] 5. Have fun.
[/list]

I am still new to Roleplayer's Guild, but from what I've heard the rules don't need to be listed, but I still feel somewhat like it was a good idea posting it up.

General things I want for this forum would be just a fun place for all of us to get together and expierience some of the oddities that come with a card game anime, or just duel around in the off time. No god moding, no main character syndrome, etc. And just discussing the plans with many of the other players to get things going.

Some of the things allowed in this forum
[list]
[*] Darker themes. I will allow it, but just don't go too edgy. This is Yu-Gi-Oh. Not a 13 year old's notebook lol. [s]I am joking so sorry if anyone is 13[/s]
[*] Custom Cards. A lot of the older archetypes or cards I know I like don't get a lot of support or have fallen to the wayside, and I can imagine others are feeling the same way. So feel free. Those will have to be graded before use though.
[*] All summoning mechanics. While I figure some people might be more familiar with the standard tribute, ritual, and fusion, I know I personally prefer some of the later summoning conditions, like Synchro or Link, and I know others would as well.
[/list]

[b]Suggestions:[/b] 
While at least a student is required, as those will probably be the people running around doing the majority of things at the school, I will say I am allowing others to make teachers or possible big bads for later arcs. Just feel free to ask. And students can be from any grade, but just bear in mind they might graduate. Grades are set up like Slifer Red are 1st years, Ra Yellow is 2nd years, and Obelsik Blues being 3rd years.

[u][i][b]DISCORD[/b][/i] [/u]
As with everything I do, there will be a discord for this. Just pm me and I'll send you a link for it.

[b]As for deck building[/b]: We will be using the latest TCG Banlist, link will be in the discord, with some alterations. Those will be given after the sheets, and examples will be posted soon as well. At the very bottom is a list of claimed decks and who has them. If others want to use a deck, then they can ask. I will say I am only listing down Archetype/Series claims, not like "I claim Plants" or something like that.

Duel Rules
[hider=Duel Rules]
[list]
[*] Every Duel: Duels will be held in the Master Rule 5 Format. Where Fusions, Synchros, and XYZs do not need to be summoned to a Link Monster's linked zone when summoned from the Extra Deck. However, other Links and Pendulum monsters are still having to abide by that rule.
[*] Every Duel: Life Points are going to be set to 4000 LP. Just to keep to the anime spirit of things.
[*] Turbo Duels: While these are here, we are using Arc-V's tried and true method of the field spell existing, but there are no Speed Spells. Also, if you activate a Field Spell, the Speed World effects still apply. Speed World we are using is New Speed World.
