[centre][h1] Everton University (Mystery/ School RP)[/h1][/centre]

[centre] Same as with the clearing, I took on too much and got overwhelmed. I still have my notes on the plot somewhere and would be happy to give this another shot. Revamp of Pine Hills set at a university to let me explore the darker aspects of the plot more comfortably [/centre]

Everton University has a singular mission: to ensure the success of its students. Since its establishment in 1845, the university's alums have consistently achieved remarkable feats. It is not uncommon for the foremost pioneers in any field to be graduates of this university's halls. 

The requirements are strict, demanding near-perfect grades, and the entrance exams necessitate a minimum of three years of preparation. It is said that only a hundred students qualify each year. However, those skilled enough to pass will discover that tuition fees are nearly half that of other prestigious establishments. Moreover, living expenses are minimal, as the university provides five complimentary meals a day, free accommodation, and unrestricted access to study materials at all times.

Although the campus is situated far from civilization, this drawback is compensated by its expansive size. Its dimensions and the abundance of commercial shops, cafes, and recreational areas could qualify it as a town in itself. The dormitories resemble houses, accommodating four students each. They feature fully equipped kitchens, spacious gardens, and four bedrooms, each complete with an ensuite bathroom. The classrooms are state-of-the-art and meticulously designed to optimize learning while providing the utmost comfort.

Naturally, as with any esteemed institution, rumours are bound to circulate. Some allege that certain students have vanished mysteriously or that individuals have returned from their experiences at Everton University fundamentally changed. However, thorough investigations into these claims have failed to produce conclusive evidence or substantiate the allegations, leaving the general public to regard such rumours as nothing more than urban legends.

This RP primarily revolves around uncovering the secret history behind the school's founding and the illicit schemes that sustain its operations. Depending on each character's classes, they will receive information about the academy or acquire skills that could prove valuable throughout the story. The outcomes of each lesson will be posted in the initial (0th) post in the IC. During the classes, we will employ a "fade to black" approach, summarising what the character accomplished during the school day while focusing on events transpiring outside of class. The exception to this rule would be if a character must do something meaningful during a class.
Any time a character uncovers new information about the academy, it will be updated in the character's 0th post, ensuring that we can keep track of all the developments. Alongside unravelling the school's enigmas, characters can foster relationships with one another or devote attention to their hobbies and academic pursuits.

This RP is mostly about uncovering the secret history behind the school's founding and the illegal schemes that keep it running. Based on which classes each character takes, they will receive information about the academy or gain skills that may help throughout the story. Each lesson's results will be posted in the 0th post in the IC. The classes themselves will 'fade to black', with a summary of what the character did during the school day, and we will focus on what happens outside of class. The only exception is if a character must do something meaningful during a class.  

Whenever someone learns something about the university, it will be updated in the characters' 0th post so we can keep track of everything. Aside from uncovering the mystery, the characters can form relationships with each other or focus on their hobbies and school.
