Situated near the coast of North Carolina USA, lies the small town of Edgebaston. It is a fairly unremarkable small town with a population of just under 5,000. Nestled away from the coastal towns and beaches, Edgebaston is only really known for its boarding school - Edgebaston academy. [/indent][/indent][/indent]

Founded in 1851, The academy was originally founded as a charitable school to help educate orphans and children of bereaved widows. The campus was simple, and included the orphanage onsite. As populations grew, the academy switched to generally accepting all students and almost tripled in size, losing the orphanage and turning it into boarding halls. It was eventually bought by Willis Pottinger - a wealthy landowner nearby. From then until 1970’s, the academy functioned exclusively as a private boarding school. After the Pottinger Trust fell into financial difficulties in the mid 70’s due to fraud and financial mismanagement, the school was sold off. However, there wasn’t anyone willing to buy the entire school due to the steep cost, and the state didn’t want it either, as they didn’t want a boarding school, and the location wasn’t ideal for a large school either. Eventually a deal was struck between a board of businessmen in Edgebaston and the state to own equal shares in the school each. What was created was quite possibly one of the most unique schools in the country.[/indent][/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent]Generally speaking there are three ways to get into the academy:
[list]
[*][color=FFF581]Buy your place:[/color] If mom and dad have the cash, they can simply pay to send you. These students tend to have the first pick of the accommodation and tend to have either their own rooms, or share units built similarly to multi bedroom hotel suites. They make up the vast majority of the schools students, roughly 70%.
[*][color=FFF581]Get a scholarship:[/color] The second largest group. Several interest groups have bought out spaces at the school each year to send students to the academy. The different interests have varying criteria to get in, but are mostly based around aptitude, or perhaps being able to study better if away from family.
[*][color=FFF581]The State Relocation Programme:[/color] The only constraint that the state part of the school enforces, is the reservation of several spaces each year for students the state deems appropriate to attend.  Because the state owns the places, they decide who goes, and ultimately it tends to be either kids who have caused trouble at way too many schools, or students who the state has decided would be better off away from their parents. Most of the time, students who are in the care of the state tend to get these places as it kills two birds with one stone for the state.[/list]

Hello Everyone, and thank you for showing interest in my RP! This is a nice little SoL High School RP where we can roleplay some wonderful High School drama. Our characters will be in either Junior or Senior year (Your choice). In terms of plot we are going to start at the beginning of the school year, and work our way to the end. We will be time-skipping to different points of the year, so no need to worry about roleplaying every single day out!

Being a Slice of Life RP, this premise will be heavily reliant on creating plot based on your character and their relations to others. As such, players are expected to play an active role in plot development. Relation sheets aren’t required in the strictest sense, as players will have character channels in our discord to plot. In terms of post length, minimum 2 decent paragraphs.[/indent][/indent][/indent]
