There are a large number of clubs on offer at Delbrook. If you can find a chill teacher to host your club during lunch on a specific day (as most clubs only meet once, maybe twice a week) and have at least 3 people in the said club, you can create your very own club!
** I will not be listing any said clubs unless you want certain clubs for your character. The usual clubs are of course up for grabs, or you can create your own club for your character. Has to be something reasonable with an appropriate name. Let me know if you guys have any clubs you want me to specifically list. If you pick out one in particular, your character will have to either be the head of the club, or you will be roleplaying the NPC student that will be. **

Venus for our Rules that she so kindly let me borrow for this, and Vicier for Christina's big welcome announcement. I couldn't have written that better in a million years. Love you girl<3
"Delbrook Academy of Long Beach, California - and, of course, home of the Rising Tides..!
Today we welcome back familiar faces to a new year, and with them, a new wave of students into the sandy halls of D.A. Whether you choose to spend your time rushing the field with our five-time National Championship lacrosse team - Go, mighty Tides..! - or rocking out in the quad to the sweet rhythm of the jazz band; with more than enough extracurricular sports, activities, and clubs on offer, you're sure to find the right place for you, surrounded by like-minded peers who, despite differences, come together to create a close-knit and welcoming community.
So now that's out of the way, let's get down to the four-one-one on how your first day at Delbrook is going to go.
Today is all about getting in the groove; and no, I don't just mean with the dance squad or the cheerleaders... No. Today is going to consist of familiarizing yourself or re-familiarizing for our returning tides, with the school. This morning you'll attend your homeroom, where you'll meet your classmates and teacher before heading to the auditorium where our mighty Poseidon - our principal, for those of you who might not know - will address the school and give us a brief rundown on what the new year is going to look like. But once that's done... light that bonfire, and get ready for a luau; because the sharks, along with our amazing seniors, have prepared one hell of a welcome home party for us all..! So be sure to head on out to the lacrosse field and check it out..! There are food trucks, carnival games, rides, and booths- make new friends, meet the clubs, and prove yourself a tide to be reckoned with. And why not..? After all; new year, new you, right?
Let's make this year our most memorable yet!
For Delbrook Academy; your resident chatty dolphin, signing off..!" - Christina Monroe, ASB President
You'll be excited to hear that we have since dropped our uniform policy and now are a free-dress school, you can thank your ASB President for fighting for you all as fiercely as she did on the matter. Though, of course, there is still no wearing anything gang-related and the girls are still expected to have shorts that reach the length of their fingertips. You are still more than welcome to wear Delbrook Tide spirit-wear, and will still be able to buy said merch at the Student Store. You also will still be expected to wear your school I.D.s around your neck with the Delbrook lanyard provided to you from the moment you walk in the front gate to the moment you leave school grounds. You will not be able to enter or leave school without it, so please don't lose it. It's a ten-dollar fee to replace it.
Delbrook's campus holds approximately forty-five hundred students, with about a thousand and two hundred students in our graduating class alone. Unfortunately, the reality of those numbers is only about nine hundred of you in the class of 2022 will make it to graduation. We'd love to see you all there, but we know that there are different circumstances that end up preventing some of our students from completing their journey. Anywhere between thirty and forty-five students fill each classroom, with anywhere from six to eight classes on your schedule with two to four classes a day. Depending on how you worked your schedules out with your counselors, you might have free periods before or after lunch that provide you a longer lunch break, or towards the end of the day that permits you to be let out of school earlier than most students. Show the front gate security guard your I.D., which has your free periods imprinted on them, and they will let you out.
Our school runs on a blocked schedule where you will attend your Even number classes one day, and the next it will be your Odd number classes. Blue days are Even classes, while Gold days are Odd. Green Days are for all classes. Each class period will run for an hour and a half, with a fifteen-minute break period between your first and second classes before lunch hits, and after lunch will come your third and fourth classes for the day. There will only be a five-minute period between the last two classes for you to get to your designated class, so I suggest you don't dilly-dally.
The standard being held for this role play will be High-Casual, which means at least 2 paragraphs of non-dialogue minimum. However, quality over quantity shall prevail. Sometimes you just feel like you can get your point across without writing a detailed paragraph over how Mary Sue brushes her teeth, and that’s totally okay.
The maximum time between posts will be 14 days, which can be extended by previous communication with the GMs. If you do not post in IC or OOC by this time, I shall shamelessly spam your DM’s in Discord or Guild PM’s to see what’s up. Until you are heard back from, your character will be excused from any interactions they may be in to free up the other member's character(s) and put on a hiatus. after a month of inactivity, I will be taking you off the roster altogether. I will have a copy of your CS' saved in my inbox, and will be removing your characters from the character tab.
If you are to be absent from the site, unable to post in the period of time mentioned above, or wish to bow out please let us know in whatever via you prefer (OOC or group PM to the GMs). It’s not only polite to do so, but it will be much appreciated.
Please check with at least one of the GMs if you plan on making a big event that might change the vibe of the RP or affect the cast in any way. We’ll most likely say yes, but better safe than sorry.
This is a character-driven RP. As such, there is not only a need but a requirement for character interactions. So talkkkkkk. Every player and the characters he or she decide to play will have their moments to shine, but interactions help a lot with this. After all, we don't want somebody to be left out.
Please allow at least 2 people to post before making your next one. This includes different characters. If you want to post for a second character, please just use the EDIT button, add it in, and let anyone you might be interacting with know. Collabs are encouraged, but please don't go overboard. We want to have some machine-gun posting too.
Drop your favorite show of the month on the Misc. section of the Character Sheet to make sure you’ve read through the rules! <3
Romance is allowed and very much encouraged by the GM and COs, though Guild Rules will apply to the steamier scenes. And please, for the love of the gods, let it happen organically. Don't rush it! We've got all the time in the world. Build up to that shit! ;P
If you encounter any situations with a particular user, either take it to PMs, DMs or let us GM's know to see if the situation can be resolved amicably. I don't enjoy conflict, and would like to keep this a drama-free zone. Please act accordingly, and act your age, people.
Character sheets shall be posted to the Character Tab one sheet per post.
There will be a limit of two characters for new incoming people. Extra character slots will be "rewarded" to members after a grace period. Overall, characters will be maxed out at 3-4 total. If you see yourself only being able to handle a single character, that is absolutely fine by me. I'm not too worried about girl/guy ratios, so just worry about what you want to make (though if you are interested in keeping the ratio somewhat even, I will post the girl/guy ratio in the character tab for you to check out).
Our characters, much like us members, are not perfect. I do not want any Eddie Haskell's in the roleplay. I'd like to see some characters with some flaws to them.
I will not be accepting Anime FC's. Real-life face claims only who look the part of a high schooler.
Character sheets should be posted into the OOC for any of the three GM's to review, and once you've been given the green light you are more than welcome to move them over to the Character Tab and begin posting at will. Please do not post Works In Progress into the OOC tab. Save them into your inbox in a message to yourself, or in a "character vault" of yours.
Please Note: In this roleplay, Covid-19 is non-existent. We will not be incorporating the tragedies of this past couple years into our roleplay.
If face claim reservations are allowed, putting mine down right now:
FC: Brec Bassinger || Color: #eac55d || I'll be going for the popular girl (feminist with an attitude) trope and, if allowed, possibly head cheerleader (or high on the cheerleading hierarchy, at least).

Eyyyy! Someone for Drea to protect from the evil jocks yeah as if Drea can stop her
Question for those in the original Delbrook:
How many of y'all bringing back your characters and if so which ones are you bringing back
I won't be (as you can see). I thought about it, but was definitely feeling something different for this time around (as much as i love Kyle and Malu).
I'll be bringing back Danny, Davina, Sam and Sawyer. Might revise their sheets just a tad, but still going to keep them. Only one I won't be bringing back as a full-time is Ezra, though he will more than likely make appearances here and there as an NPC.
